Addition agents

Ha.logen Fluorides. These include compounds such as IF, IF, GIF, etc, of which only a few, GIF, GIF, BrP, and IF, are used to some extent. They act both as halogen exchange agents and, in the case of the monofluorides, as addition agents to unsaturated bonds (17). 

Nicotinic Receptor Agonists. There has been significant activity in the development of muscarinic cholinergic receptor agonists for dementia. In addition, agents that interact with nicotinic cholinergic receptors may also have therapeutic value. Nicotinic receptors have been reported to be... 

Fine-grained deposits are usually obtained from complex ion solutions, eg, cyanide, or using certain addition agents. These deposits are less pure, less dense, and exhibit higher electrical resistivities because of the presence of foreign material. 

In electro deposition, the film stresses can vary with deposition parameters and be regulated by controlling the deposition parameters and the use of addition agents in the bath. 

An electrorefining plant may operate with either an acid or an alkaline bath. The acid bath contains stannous sulfate, cresolsulfonic or phenolsulfonic acids (to retard the oxidation of the stannous tin in the solution), and free sulfuric acid with P-naphthol and glue as addition agents to prevent tree-like deposits on the cathode which may short-circuit the cells. The concentration of these addition agents must be carefliUy controlled. The acid electrolyte operates at room temperature with a current density of ca 86—108 A/m, cell voltage of 0.3 V, and an efficiency of 85%. Anodes (95 wt % tin) have a life of 21 d, whereas the cathode sheets have a life of 7 d. Anode slimes may be a problem if the lead content of the anodes is high the anodes are removed at frequent intervals and scmbbed with revolving bmshes to remove the slime (7). 

If the molecular species in the liquid tend to form complexes, the system will have negative deviations and activity coefficients less than unity, eg, the system chloroform—ethyl acetate. In a2eotropic and extractive distillation (see Distillation, azeotropic and extractive) and in Hquid-Hquid extraction, nonideal Hquid behavior is used to enhance component separation (see Extraction, liquid—liquid). An extensive discussion on the selection of nonideal addition agents is available (17). 

Addition agents for all three plating solutions are as required. 

Certain organic compounds form complexes with platinum, and this accounts for the fact that the thin coating of platinum on titanium is rapidly corroded when platinised titanium is used as an anode in plating baths containing organic addition agents. 

Conducting Saits, Addition Agents and Other Ingredients of Plating Baths ... 

Features of the method The solutions and prodecures are uncomplicated, and can often be adapted for barrel plating. Addition agents are usually necessary in order to restrict the high initial rate of plating, which might... 

Owing to the thinness of the coatings, properties such as reflectivity and smoothness are chiefly governed by the substrate, although addition agents find useful application in improving these properties. 

Properties of deposits Deposits can be produced that are adherent, coherent and finely crystalline. Addition agents, e.g. organic sulphonamides can improve the deposit structure so that thick coatings can be produced free of nodules and blisters. The production of very smooth thick deposits of copper has been reported Thin deposits tend to reproduce the substrate topography, but some cases of levelling have been reported. The brightness tends to fall with increasing thickness. 

Coatings of tin produced from tin-containing aqueous solutions by chemical replacement may be used to provide special surface properties such as appearance or low friction, but protect from corrosion only in non-aggressive environments. Copper and brass may be tinned in alkaline cyanide solutions or in acid solutions containing organic addition agents such as thiourea. Steel may be first coated with copper and then treated...
