The above procedure is simple, but it can be time-consuming for more complex examples. One can write down the correct relationships between the equilibrium constants or the free energies by inspection as follows. The overall equilibrium constant between, say, A and C must be the same for any route. Therefore, the products of the equilibrium constant for one route from A to C must be the same as for another route. And so, KBIA - KcfB = KD/A Kan (i.e., equation 3.71). The difference in free energy between A and, say, D is similarly independent of route. Thus, AGc-a = AGb a + AGC B = AGd a + AGC D (i.e., equation 3.72). 

For transition metal coordination compounds AG° involves terms related to the ionization potential / of the free metal ion, the difference in complexation free energy A(AGc), involving the oxidized and the reduced free metal ion, and the difference in solvation free energy A(AGaq), involving the complexes in the two oxidation states ... 

The electronic contribution to A(AG ) (metal-donor bonding) for a set of similar compounds (identical metal center, same type of donor, similar coordination polyhedra, e.g., hexaaminecobalt(III/II) couples with variable amines) is only dependent on the metal-donor distance, i.e., A(AGc) is correlated with the strain energy difference between the oxidized and the reduced forms of the couples. 

AGr Gibbs free-cnergy change The energy difference between reactants and products. When AG° is negative, the reaction is exergonic, has a favorable equilibrium constant, and can occur spontaneously. When AGC is positive, the reaction is endergonic, has an unfavorable equilibrium constant, and cannot occur spontaneously. 

In this approach, it is assumed that turbulence dies out at the interface and that a laminar layer exists in each of the two fluids. Outside the laminar layer, turbulent eddies supplement the action caused by the random movement of the molecules, and the resistance to transfer becomes progressively smaller. For equimolecular counterdiffusion the concentration gradient is therefore linear close to the interface, and gradually becomes less at greater distances as shown in Figure 10.5 by the full lines ABC and DEF. The basis of the theory is the assumption that the zones in which the resistance to transfer lies can be replaced by two hypothetical layers, one on each side of the interface, in which the transfer is entirely by molecular diffusion. The concentration gradient is therefore linear in each of these layers and zero outside. The broken lines AGC and DHF indicate the hypothetical concentration distributions, and the thicknesses of the two films arc L and L2. Equilibrium is assumed to exist at the interface and therefore the relative positions of the points C and D are determined by the equilibrium relation between the phases. In Figure 10.5, the scales are not necessarily the same on the two sides of the interface. 

Considering that (—AGd) > 0 when (—AGC) < 0, then it is apparent that the sign of the EMF depends on the direction in which the scheme of the cell is written and, consequently, on the direction in which the reaction is written. The EMF is positive when the reaction and the scheme are formulated so as to correspond to a spontaneous reaction (the reaction would occur spontaneously in the direction indicated if the cell were short-circuited). Thus cell (a) has a positive EMF and cell (b) a negative one.

Another current development in the use of F-T chemistry in a three-phase slurry reactor is Exxon s Advanced Gas Conversion or AGC-21 technology (Eidt et al., 1994 Everett et al., 1995). The slurry reactor is the second stage of a three-step process to convert natural gas into a highly paraffinic water-clear hydrocarbon liquid. The AGC-21 technology, as in the Sasol process, is being developed to utilize the large reserves of natural gas that are too remote for economical transportation via pipelines. The converted liquid from the three-step process, which is free of sulfur, nitrogen, nickel, vanadium, asphaltenes, polycyclic aromatics, and salt, can be shipped in conventional oil tankers and utilized by most refineries or petrochemical facilities. 

BI-D1870 (Table 7.1) has been reported to be a specific p90RSK inhibitor that lacks activity against other closely related kinases (in the so-called AGC family, which includes the S6 kinases and PKB [Sapkota et al, 2007]).
