The arc and spark spectra of the individual lanthanides are exceedingly complex. Thousands of emission lines are observed. For the trivalent rare-earth ions in soUds, the absorption spectra are much better understood. However, the crystal fields of the neighboring atoms remove the degeneracy of some states and several levels exist where only one did before. Many of these crystal field levels exist very close to a base level. As the soUd is heated, a number of the lower levels become occupied. Some physical properties of rare-earth metals are thus very sensitive to temperature (7). 

At the beginning of the century, nobody knew that a small proportion of atoms in a crystal are routinely missing, even less that this was not a mailer of accident but of thermodynamic equilibrium. The recognition in the 1920s that such vacancies had to exist in equilibrium was due to a school of statistical thermodynamicians such as the Russian Frenkel and the Germans Jost, Wagner and Schollky. That, moreover, as we know now, is only one kind of point defect an atom removed for whatever reason from its lattice site can be inserted into a small gap in the crystal structure, and then it becomes an interstitial . Moreover, in insulating crystals a point defect is apt to be associated with a local excess or deficiency of electrons. 

All three elimination reactions--E2, El, and ElcB—occur in biological pathways, but the ElcB mechanism is particularly common. The substrate is usually an alcohol, and the H atom removed is usually adjacent to a carbonyl group, just as in laboratory reactions. Thus, 3-hydroxy carbonyl compounds are frequently converted to unsaturated carbonyl compounds by elimination reactions. A typical example occurs during the biosynthesis of fats when a 3-hydroxybutyryl thioester is dehydrated to the corresponding unsaturated (crotonyl) thioester. The base in this reaction is a histidine amino acid in the enzyme, and loss of the OH group is assisted by simultaneous protonation.

Table 3.12 surveys current industrial applications of enantioselective homogeneous catalysis in fine chemicals production. Most chiral catalyst in Table 3.12 have chiral phosphine ligands (see Fig. 3.54). The DIP AMP ligand, which is used in the production of L-Dopa, one of the first chiral syntheses, possesses phosphorus chirality, (see also Section 4.5.8.1) A number of commercial processes use the BINAP ligand, which has axial chirality. The PNNP ligand, on the other hand, has its chirality centred on the a-phenethyl groups two atoms removed from the phosphorus atoms, which bind to the rhodium ion. Nevertheless, good enantio.selectivity is obtained with this catalyst in the synthesis of L-phenylalanine. 

Base-catalysed dehydrations are relatively unusual, and that one occurs here stems from the facts (a) that (89) contains a-H atoms removable by base to yield an ambient concentration of the carbanion (97), and (b) that this carbanion possesses a goodish leaving group—... 

Values of /c2, the maximal rate constant for disappearance of penicillin at pH 10.24 and 31.5°, and Ka, the cycloheptaamylose-penicillin dissociation constant are presented in Table VII. Two features of these data are noteworthy. In the first place, there is no correlation between the magnitude of the cycloheptaamylose induced rate accelerations and the strength of binding specificity is again manifested in a rate process rather than in the stability of the inclusion complex. Second, the selectivity of cycloheptaamylose toward the various penicillins is somewhat less than the selectivity of the cycloamyloses toward phenyl esters—rate accelerations differ by no more than fivefold throughout the series. As noted by Tutt and Schwartz (1971), selectivity can be correlated with the distance of the reactive center from the nonpolar side chain. Whereas the carbonyl carbon of phenyl acetates is only two atoms removed from the phenyl ring, the reactive center... 

This is a similar value to the temperature of the Sun derived optically or from A.max in the black body spectrum. In a colder star the Balmer series is weaker still, but in a hotter star the Balmer series lines are stronger. In very hot stars the Balmer series may become weaker again due to collisional ionisation of H atoms, removing the electrons from the atoms completely. 

Carbinolamines are chemically unstable and, in the case of tertiary amines, dissociate to generate the secondary amine and aldehydes as products or eliminate water to generate the iminium ion. The iminium ion, if formed, can reversibly add water to reform the carbinolamine or add other nucleophiles if present. If the nucleophile happens to be within the same molecule and five or six atoms removed from the electrophilic carbon of the iminium ion, cyclization can occur and form a stable 5- or 6-membered ring system. For example, the 4-imidazolidinone is a major metabolite of lidocaine, which is formed in vivo or can be formed upon isolation of the A -deethyl metabolite of lidocaine if a trace of acetaldehyde happens to be present in the solvent used for extraction (116,118) (Fig. 4.52).
