But there is one additional factor in surface reactions, not present in aqueous phase reactions. Because the solid surface is electrically charged, it is an environment quite unlike the bulk solution, and activities and equilibrium constants must be adjusted to account for the fact that the surface sorption sites exist in a charged field. 

In such charged fields, chemical potentials, activities, and equilibrium constants are different from the values they would have in the absence of the charged field. By convention, equilibrium constants are given their values at the surface, before any...

Logically, this section should discuss the other rate constant characterizing the ATRP process, namely the deactivation rate constant, kdeact- However, the values of kdeact are typically rather large and difficult to determine experimentally. They are often calculated as the ratio kdeact = kact/KAXRP of the much easier to determine rate constant of activation and equilibrium constant of ATRP. This is why this section is dedicated to the experimental determination of Katrp as well as to the factors (initiator and catalyst structure, solvent, etc.) that influence its values. As seen from eqn (2), the rate of polymerization under classical ATRP conditions depends on the value of the equilibrium constant. 

The physical data index summarizes the quantitative data given for specific compounds in the text, tables and figures in Volumes 1-7. It does not give any actual data but includes references both to the appropriate text page and to the original literature. The structural and spectroscopic methods covered include UV, IR, Raman, microwave, MS, PES, NMR, ORD, CD, X-ray, neutron and electron diffraction, together with such quantities as dipole moment, pX a, rate constant and activation energy, and equilibrium constant. 

The dehydration reactions have somewhat higher activation energies than the addition step and are not usually observed under strictly controlled kinetic conditions. Detailed kinetic studies have provided rate and equilibrium constants for the individual steps in some cases. The results for the acetone-benzaldehyde system in the presence of hydroxide ion are given below. Note that is sufficiently large to drive the first equilibrium forward. 

A wide range of nitroxidcs and derived alkoxyamincs has now been explored for application in NMP. Experimental work and theoretical studies have been carried out to establish structure-property correlations and provide further understanding of the kinetics and mechanism. Important parameters are the value of the activation-deactivation equilibrium constant K and the values of kaa and (Scheme 9.17), the combination disproportionation ratio for the reaction of the nilroxide with Ihe propagating radical (Section 9.3.6.3) and the intrinsic stability of the nitroxide and the alkoxyamine under the polymerization conditions (Section 9.3.6.4). The values of K, k3Cl and ktieact are influenced by several factors.11-1 "7-"9 ... 

The activity of initiators in ATRP is often judged qualitatively from the dispersity of the polymer product, the precision of molecular weight control and the observed rates of polymerization. Rates of initiator consumption are dependent on the value of the activation-deactivation equilibrium constant (A") and not simply on the activation rate constant ( acl). Rate constants and activation parameters are becoming available and some valuable trends for the dependence of these on initiator structure have been established.292"297... 

Optimal conditions for ATRP depend strongly on the particular monomer(s) to be polymerized. This is mainly due to the strong dependence of the activation-deactivation equilibrium constant (A ), and hence the rate of initiation, on the type of propagating radical (Section 9.4.1.3). When using monomers of different types, polymer isolation and changes in the catalyst are frequently necessary before making the second block... 

In principle, these features can be built into models of receptor activation, although the large number of disposable parameters makes testing difficult. Some of the rate and equilibrium constants must be known beforehand. One experimental tactic is to alter the relative proportions of receptors and G-protein and then determine whether the efficacy of agonists changes in the way expected from the model. The discovery that some receptors are constitutively active has provided another new approach as well as additional information about receptor function, as we shall now see. 

Needless to say, an analysis which will finally allow one to nail down all rates, activation parameters, and equilibrium constants requires a large amount of precise and reliable kinetic data from appropriate experiments, including the determination of isotope effects and the like, as well as a rather sophisticated treatment and solution of the complete kinetic scheme. Then a comparison is necessary between various organosilanes with different types of C-H and C-Si bonds as well as the comparison between the dtbpm and the dcpm ligand systems, not to speak of model calculations in order to understand the molecular origin of the kinetic and thermodynamic numbers. We are presently in the process of solving these problems. 

The extent to which the effect of changing substituents on the values of ks and kp is the result of a change in the thermodynamic driving force for the reaction (AG°), a change in the relative intrinsic activation barriers A for ks and kp, or whether changes in both of these quantities contribute to the overall substituent effect. This requires at least a crude Marcus analysis of the substituent effect on the rate and equilibrium constants for the nucleophile addition and proton transfer reactions (equation 2).71-72...

The final rate expressions, which were used in the present work, were given by Hou and Hughes (2001). In these rate expressions all reaction rate and equilibrium constants were defined to be temperature-dependent through the Arrhenius and van t Hoff equations. The particular values for the activation energies, heats of adsorption, and pre-exponential constants are available in the original reference and were used in our work without alteration.
