Aromatics Temperature Statistics

In equation 3.1 the spin terms of the negative species have been canceled out. The quantity 12.43 is obtained from fundamental constants and the translation partition function of the electron. Qim is the ratio of the remaining partition function of the anion to that of the neutral. If the partition function ratio for the anion and neutral are assumed to be the same, this term is zero. With one value of the equilibrium constant the electron affinity of the molecule can be estimated. The statistical mechanical expression for Keq refers to the absolute zero of temperature so that no temperature correction to Ea is necessary. Unfortunately, there were no values for the equilibrium constants or electron affinities. Thus, the value of Keq for one molecule, anthracene, was determined and the electron affinity of other aromatic hydrocarbons referenced to that value. If the partition function ratios are equal,... 

EI-MS was used to analyze an aromatic copolyester with units of p-oxybenzoate (PO) and of ethylene terephthalate (ET). The El mass spectra were recorded up to 480°C. At these temperatures, the chain cleavage is totally selective, since PO units are stable and ET units are not. Chain statistics was applied to the El mass spectra and a good agreement was foimd between the computed and the known composition. ... 

The statistical copol5miers of polyarylesterketones, involving naphdia-lene cycle in the main ehain, ean be produeed [388] by low-temperature polycondensation of bisphenyloxide, 4,4 - -bis(P-naphtoxy)benzophe-none with chloranhydrides of aromatic bicarbonic acids - terephthaloyl-chloride and isophthaloylchloride (I) in the presence of catalytical system AlCl3/N-methylpirrolydone/ClCH2CH2Cl (copolymers are characterized by improved thermo- and chemical stabiUty), and also by the reaction of hydroquinone with l,4-bis(4,4 -flourobenzoyl)naphthalene (II) in the presence of sodium and potassium carbonates in bisphenylsulfone [389],... 

Aromatic compounds undergo electrophilic mercuration. The old method involved heating the arene with mercury(II) acetate under reflux in acetic acid or in ethanol. Recently it has been found that mercury(II) trifluoroacetate in trifluoroacetic acid reacts at room temperature. The reactions are reversible the isomer ratios depend on time, tending towards the statistical. The mechanism shown above has been proposed. The equilibrium constant K for Tc-complex formation has been estimated from changes in the UV spectra of arenes which occur on addition of HgfOCOCFj). For benzene in CF3CO2H at 25°C, K = 8.2mo Mm ... 

For aromatic or heteroaromatic systems joined by single C—C bonds, torsional flexibility is a common structural variable that may change with the phase [155]. Consequently, optical properties become conformation-dependent. In some cases, following Boltzmann statistics, the same optical properties may then show temperature dependence.
