Additional Remarks

It is remarkable that the initial description of the mechanism, although based on qualitative evidence, has so successfully passed the test of time and of quantitative investigations. The latter have allowed a more precise description of the kinetics and the assignment of the termination steps, but the core of the mechanism, i.e. the propagation loop (103), has essentially remained untouched (see, however, the discussion at the end of this section). 

Similarly, several examples of reactions of perliuoroalkyl halides have been demonstrated to follow an SrnI -type mechanism (Section 3, p. 75). Since, here too, dissociative electron transfer is likely under the conditions of the reactions [Section 2, pp. 54-56 (Andrieux et ai, 1990b)], the substitution process most probably also follows mechanism (134) rather than (103). The same is also likely to be true with alkyl mercurials (Russell, 1989). 

This nuance of the original Sr I mechanism may thus occur in quite a number of cases. Nomenclature purists may consider it necessary to find other symbols to name this mechanism and, presumably, to question the adequacy of the 1 in this case. Beyond symbols, if the Sr I mechanism is viewed as an outer sphere electron-transfer-induced nucleophilic substitution , a possible designation of the mechanism under discussion might be dissociative electron-transfer-induced nucleophilic substitution . The original designation of these reactions as nucleophilic reactions proceeding via anion radical intermediates (Komblum, 1975) would still apply to both nuances of the mechanism since, in the present case, RNu is an essential intermediate in the reaction, even if RX is not. 

We emphasize that in addition to a global optimization strategy, the precise determination of the structure requires an efficient and reliable local optimization algorithm. MD does not provide such a tool because it cannot optimize efficiently the degrees of freedom

In 1976, Radiometer61 presented for the first time a microprocessor-controlled titration system. Since then, the microprocessor has been used preferentially and as a fully integrated part (in line) in electroanalytical instruments as a replacement for the on-line microcomputer used before. Bos62 gave a comprehensive description of the set-up and newer developments with microprocessors in relation to microcomputers and indicated what they can do in laboratory automation. Many manufacturers are now offering versatile microprocessor-controlled titrators such as the Mettler DL 40 and DL 40 RC MemoTitrators, the Metrohm E 636 Titroprocessor and the Radiometer MTS 800 multi-titration system. Since Mettler were the first to introduce microprocessor-controlled titrators with their Model DK 25, which could be extended to a fully automated series analysis via the ST 80/ST 801 sample transport and lift together with the CT 21/CT211 identification system, we shall pay most attention to the new Mettler MemoTitrators, followed by additional remarks on the Metrohm and Radiometer apparatus. 

The considerable importance of computerization in electroanalysis has been well illustrated by the many examples in the earlier part of this chapter microprocessors in laboratory instruments and on line computers for automation have become common features. However, a few additional remarks on electroanalysis and its future computerization may still be useful.

A few additional remarks about the selection of VFF-cross terms follow. The number of these cross terms is very large, even for relatively small molecules. A N-atomic molecule without symmetry has altogether (3 N — 6) (3 N — 7)/2 independent cross terms (that is no less than 276 for N = 10 ). E.g. the water molecule possesses three such cross terms ... 

Here are some additional remarks on the startup procedure ... 

Here we will discuss in more detail the 10 Mach-Zehnder interferometer7. It is a nice vehicle for illustrating in what way the problem of looking for extremely high resolutions can be approached, an approach which appeared to be very successful. We will focus on the MZI used for bulk sensing and we will make some additional remarks on its utilization in surface sensing. 

A few additional remarks are needed. Using the formation constants as introduced above, leads to well defined and consistent descriptions. Sometimes it is easier to apprehend an equilibrium if the species are not formed from the components but as a combination of other species and/or components e.g. 

The function NewtonRaphson. m is written in a very compact manner, taking full advantage of Matlab s vectorised commands. Sometimes this makes the lines difficult to read — a few additional remarks are appropriate. 

Coordination number and packing geometry. On the basis of the previous definition of the coordination number (as the number of first neighbours), and of the corresponding coordination geometries (as listed in Table 3.4) some additional remarks may be useful for the particular case of packing of hard sphere atoms. 

Pettifor s structure maps additional remarks. We have seen that in a phenomenological approach to the systematics of the crystal structures (and of other phase properties) several types of coordinates, derived from physical atomic properties, have been used for the preparation of (two-, three-dimensional) stability maps. Differences, sums, ratios of properties such as electronegativities, atomic radii and valence-electron numbers have been used. These variables, however, as stressed, for instance, by Villars et al. (1989) do not always clearly differentiate between chemically different atoms. 

It will be illustrated in the next section that the favored distortion of CIO4 from a tetrahedral symmetry is in the direction towards the C31, rather than the form deduced by Van Huis and Schaefer [8]. The electronic structure of the open shell is analyzed from the results of electronic structure calculation for structure with small but finite distortions in Section 3 and a different conclusion is reached. Fourthly, a juxtaposition of the findings from the previous sections supports the Van Huis-Schaefer case. Additional remarks appear in the final section. 

Ni-Cu. Several aspects of the results with these alloys have been already discussed, so it will suffice here to make only some additional remarks. 

Some additional remarks should perhaps be made with respect to Fixman s theory (107). This theory provides a straight foreward explanation of non-Newtonian intrinsic viscosity in terms of excluded volume. According to this theory, the behavior of a solution in an ideal solvent is almost Newtonian [cf. a similar result derived by Subirana (108)]. In fact, the influence of excluded volume on the viscosity must decrease with increasing shear rate due to an increasing probability for elongated... 

See Table 3.2). One additional remark should be made with respect to Fig. 3.2. In this figure parameter p is calculated with the aid of the experimental viscosity-shear rate relation. As a consequence, the deviation from the quadratic relationship is less pronounced than in Fig. 3.1. 

In preceding sections it has tacitly been assumed that the behaviour of a real chain molecule can be described with the aid of a chain consisting of Z randomly jointed links each of length A. In fact, this model is so well-known that only some additional remarks will be made. The original equations of Kuhn (62) and of Kuhn and GrOn (64) read ... 

For further consideration some additional remarks must be made. In coalification not only might lignin alteration itself play an important role, but... 

As an additional remark, the same research group designed a cholesteric network that acted as a humidity sensor, using a derivative of HPC esterified with acryloyl chloride to a low degree of substitution (0.22). The HPC acrylate hydrogel can change the cholesteric pitch, and thereby the reflective color changes with water uptake. 

Chemists are well aware that strong molecular interactions may be accompanied by a flow of electron charge but the evidence they present has been disregarded by physicists. The latter consider this evidence not to represent legitimate noncovalent interactions, with the additional remark that in the case of very small electron transfers the polarization contribution is able to describe such small effects.

Finally, we make a few additional remarks. First, note that a pure number state is a3j= state whose phase 0k is evenly distributed between 0 and 2n. This is a consequence of the commutation relation [3] between Nk and e,0 <. Nevertheless, dipole mafKi w elements calculated between number states are (as all quantum mechanical amplitudes) well-defined complex numbers, and as such they have well-defined phajje j S Thus, the phases of the dipole matrix elements in conjunction with the mode ph f i f/)k [Eq. (12.15)] yield well-defined matter + radiation phases that determine the outcome of the photodissociation process. As in the weak-field domain, if only gJ one incident radiation mode exists then the phase cancels out in the rate expres4<3 [Eq. (12.35)], provided that the RWA [Eqs. (12.44) and (12.45)] is adoptedf However, in complete analogy with the treatment of weak-field control, if we irradh ate the material system with two or more radiation modes then the relative pb between them may have a pronounced effect on the fully interacting state, phase control is possible. 

A few additional remarks with respect to the calculation of the Jacobian matrix J are in order here. For reaction mechanisms that have explicit solutions to the set of differential equations, it is always possible to define the derivatives dC/dk explicitly. In such cases, the Jacobian J can be calculated in explicit equations, and time-consuming finite-difference approximations are not required. The equations are rather complex, although implementation in MATLAB is straightforward. More information on this topic can be found in the literature [22], The calculation of numerical derivatives is always possible, and for mechanisms that require numerical integration it is the only option. 

A detailed survey of compensation effects was given by Leffler and Grunwald (1963) who also discussed structural and mechanistic implications of the problem. An additional remark on this subject seems relevant. Most discussions have considered compensation effects in both equilibria and rate processes. Accordingly, the effect is often called the enthalpy-entropy relationship. As for equilibria, the enthalpy-entropy relationship can be considered as part of the axiomatic foundations of...
