Activity equation

NAA is a quantitative method. Quantification can be performed by comparison to standards or by computation from basic principles (parametric analysis). A certified reference material specifically for trace impurities in silicon is not currently available. Since neutron and y rays are penetrating radiations (free from absorption problems, such as those found in X-ray fluorescence), matrix matching between the sample and the comparator standard is not critical. Biological trace impurities standards (e.g., the National Institute of Standards and Technology Standard Rference Material, SRM 1572 Citrus Leaves) can be used as reference materials. For the parametric analysis many instrumental fiictors, such as the neutron flux density and the efficiency of the detector, must be well known. The activation equation can be used to determine concentrations ... 

Catalases and peroxidases both promote H2O2 reduction by mechanisms that involve ferryl intermediates. Catalases differ from peroxidases by their ability to use H2O2 both as an electron acceptor and as donor, thus catalysing the disproportionation reaction (catalatic activity) (equation 1) ... 

Both catalases and peroxidases can oxidize a variety of organic substrates (peroxi-datic activity) (equation 2) ... 

The necessity of an activator reagent has been explicitly revealed using arylpalladium complexes containing silanyl residues, which are stable in the absence of activator, but immediately undergo transmetalation upon addition of an activator (Equation (16)) 273... 

For ruthenium catalysts without shift activity, the stoichiometric requirement for syngas conversion is two moles of per mole of CO, according to Equation (I). However, the H2/C0 usage ratio can be less than 2 when the catalyst has shift activity (Equation II). 

Nuclear bombardment reactions in which the product is radioactive constitute the basis of radioactivation analysis (p. 456). Although in principle any bombardment-decay sequence may be used the analyst is largely concerned with thermal neutron activation. Equation (10.13) relates the induced activity to the amount of the parent nucleide (analyte). However, practical difficulties arise because of flux inhomogeneities. It is common therefore to irradiate a standard with very similar characteristics alongside the sample, e.g. for a silicate rock sample a standard solution would be evaporated on to a similar amount of pure silica. On the assumption that identical specific activities for the analyte are then induced in the sample and standard, the amount w2 of analyte is readily calculated from...

Related experimental and theoretical studies have been performed by the group of Szab6.458 458a 458-i They revealed that palladium pincer complexes such as 205 show high catalytic activities (Equation (100)).4S8d,g,i Mono-Z71 -allyl palladium pincer complexes are proposed to be active intermediates. 

Diboration of alkene is catalyzed by Pt(0),42,48-51 Rh(i),52-57 Au(i),52 and Ag(i)58 complexes. Phosphine-free platinum complexes such as Pt(dba)2 and Pt(cod)2 are efficient catalysts for diboration of alkene, whereas those with phosphine ligands show much lower catalytic activities (Equations (3) and (4)).48,49 A PtCl2(cod) complex, which may be readily reduced to Pt(0) species with diboron, also catalyzes the addition of bis(catecholato)diboron to alkenes.42 Platinum-catalyzed diboration has so far been limited to terminal alkenes and strained cyclic alkenes. 

Optically active iV-unprotected-2-pyrrolidinones 194 were obtained from selenocarboxylate or allylamine via radical cyclization and subsequent one-step cleavage of the C-O and C-N bond of the inseparable mixture of the two bicyclic oxyoxazolidinones 192 and 193 with -Bu4NF. The initial radical reaction is highly stereoselective. Products were obtained with ee up to 90%. The mandelic acid 195, which served as the chiral auxiliary in this method, was recovered with no loss of optical activity (Equation 33) <2003T6291>.

If followed in experimenrtally accessible dilute solutions, Henry s law would be manifested as a horizontal asymptote in a plot such as Figure 19.3 as the square of the molality ratio goes to zero. We do not observe such an asymptote. Thus, the modified form of Henry s law is not followed over the concentration range that has been examined. However, the ratio of activity to the square of the molality ratio does extrapolate to 1, so that the data does satisfy the definition of activity [Equations (16.1) and (16.2)]. Thus, the activity clearly becomes equal to the square of the molality ratio in the limit of infinite dilution. Henry s law is a limiting law, which is valid precisely at infinite dilution, as expressed in Equation (16.19). No reliable extrapolation of the curve in Figure 19.2 exists to a hypothetical unit molality ratio standard state, but as we have a finite limiting slope at = 0, we can use... 

AGm is equal to zero because our definition of the individual ion activities [Equation (20.5)] is... 

Compare Eq. 3-229 with 3-224. The decay in monomer concentration depends on the orders of both initiator and activator initial concentrations with no dependence on deactivator concentration and varies with t2/3 under non-steady-state conditions. For steady-state conditions, there are first-order dependencies on initiator and activator and inverse first-order dependence on deactivator and the time dependence is linear. Note that Eq. 3-229 describes the non-steady-state polymerization rate in terms of initial concentrations of initiator and activator. Equation 3-224 describes the steady-state polymerization rate in terms of concentrations at any point in the reaction as long as only short reaction intervals are considered so that concentration changes are small. 

In the reaction of a simple ketone enolate with a chiral aldehyde, the use of a zinc enolate may offer advantages in terms of facial selectivity with respect to the use of a lithium enolate. This is exactly the result recorded in the condensation of the kinetic enolate of 2-undecanone 140 with 141, the key step in a total synthesis of (-l-)-preussin 142, a fermentation product with antifungal and antibacterial activity (equation 77)169. While 2-undecanone Li enolate did not display stereocontrol when added to 141, an acceptable syn diastereoselectivity was displayed by the Zn enolate 140. 

The tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase from Bacillus stearothermophilus crystallizes as a symmetrical dimer of Mr2 X 47 316. It catalyzes the aminoacylation of tRNA1 in a two-step reaction. Tyrosine is first activated (equation 15.1) to form a very stable enzyme-bound tyrosyl adenylate complex. Tyrosine is then transferred to tRNA (equation 15.2).6...

The meta acylation of anisole, using a carbonyl anion equivalent as the nucleophile, illustrates the unique regioselectivity available with the Cr(CO)3 activation (equation 31). 

The first metalated silole, 48, which was characterized unambiguously by means of NMR spectroscopy, has been obtained by Boudjouk and coworkers via reductive cleavage of the Si—Si bond of disilane 47 with lithium or sodium under ultrasonic activation (equation 54)110a. 

Baeyer-Villiger oxidation has been used to selectively oxidize one of two methyl ketones (to esters) in the final step of a stereoselective synthesis of (—)-acetomycin, an antibiotic with potential anti-leukemia activity (equation 25)135. This reaction was accomplished using MCPBA as oxidant, with an excess of sodium bicarbonate and 5-/er/-bulyl-4-hydroxy-2-melhyl phenyl sulfide as a radical inhibitor. 

The thiocarbonyl group is a classic bioisosteric replacement for the carbonyl group which has been widely exploited in medicinal chemistry. This is illustrated with the preparation of thioketones derived from thiocolchicine283 and isothiocolchicine284 which exhibited high antitubulin activity (equation 38). 

From dried leaves of a Brazilian plant, a triterpene ozonide 165 was isolated. It was also obtained at — 78 °C in hexane by ozonolysis of its precursor 164 isolated from the same plant. In contrast to natural endoperoxides, such as artemisinin, this 1,2,4-trioxolane does not show antiplasmodial activity (Equation 13) <2003AP205>. 

It is the usual practice, therefore, to irradiate a standard containing a known amount of the element to be determined along with the samples and to count both standards and samples with the same detector system. In this case the absolute value of the flux, the constancy of the flux, and the detection efficiency of the detector do not enter into the determination. By combining the standard activation equations for both standard and sample, the following equation results ... 

Nucleophilic attack of carbanions on silicon in silacyclobutane rings results in breaking of the Si-C bond in the ring leading to the recovery of the carbanionic center. Disilacyclobutane 38 was polymerized by addition of alkyllithium as initiator in tetrahydrofuran (THF) at — 78 °G in the presence of hexamethylphosphoramide (HMPA) acting as an activator (Equation 14) <2000MI805>. 

A few decades later in 1968, Halpem formulated the need for new approaches to the activation of C-H bonds with a particular focus on saturated hydrocarbons. C-H bond activation, equated with dissociation of carbon-hydrogen bonds by metal complexes , was identified as one of the most important challenges in catalysis [4]. Perhaps the most influential discovery in this area was made in the late 1960s by Hodges and Garnett, who demonstrated that a homogeneous aqueous so-...
