Thus, under these conditions, regioselectivity will depend on a competition between the rates of reaction from the two types of oxygen atoms modified by the ratio of the populations of the two dimers. 

Perhaps the most useful feature of the results is that they often enable a clear distinction to be drawn between orbitals having a considerable atomic s character and those which are pure tt orbitals. Quantitative estimates of relative s and p character on an atom are limited in that they depend on the accuracy of calculated values for and for the outer electrons of the neutral atom. Modifi-... 

The number of applications of atomic techniques based on solid or slurry sampling is so large that only a comparatively minute fraction is discussed in this section. Interested readers are referred to the biannual reviews of Analytical Chemistry and the atomic spectroscopy update in the Journal of Analytical Atomic Spectrometry, among other sources, for more extensive information. A specific review of the uses of graphite atomizers modified with high-melting carbides has been published by Volynsky that includes virtually all metals determined in this manner [74]. 

Along with the theory of coordination, Werner proposed5 a system of nomenclature for coordination entities which not only reproduced their compositions but also indicated many of their structures. Werner s system was completely additive in that the names of the ligands were cited, followed by the name of the central atom (modified by the ending ate if the complex was an anion). Wemer also used structural descriptors and locants. The additive nomenclature system was capable of expansion and adaptation to new compounds and even to other fields of chemistry. 

The drastic increase of n-butane selectivity upon diene or acetylene treatments at T>373 K suggests formation of some special sites on the initially highly selective surface which favor over-hydrogenation of butadiene. Our TPD measurements show (Figure 3) that the foulant supplies only a very limited amount of hydrogen at 284 K. It is tempting to attribute n-butane forming sites to Pd atoms modified by subsurface carbon atoms. It is not obvious, however, why these sites are not present after vacuum treatment of the self-poisoned samples at T>423 K. Formation of n-butane can be accounted for if one assumes that the... 

When two metals with atoms of different sizes form a solid solution, the strain energy that is produced by mixing small and large atoms modifies the surface composition. Discuss the effects of the strain energy on surface segregation [52-57]. 

The introduction of different heteroatoms in the carbon network has been already considered for changing the redox properties which can further influence the electrochemical performance [78-83], The foreign atoms modify the electron donor/acceptor character of the graphene layers, and are consequently expected to affect the charging of the electrical double Isyer and to give pseudocapacitance faradaic reactions. 

The elements carbon (diamond), sihcon, germanium, and one form of tin, a-tin, all crystallise with the same stmcture. The size variation of this series of atoms modifies the band formation in a predictable way. The smallest atom, carbon, has the smallest degree of orbital interaction and hence the narrowest bands. The energy gap is therefore large, and diamond has a very high cohesive strength. As the atoms increase in size, the orbital interactions increase, bands widen, the gap narrows and the cohesive energy falls. Unlike diamond, a-tin is a weak solid and is easily crushed. 

A similar approach also supplies heptamethine cyanine dyes with altered spectroscopic properties for more specific applications. For example, Flanagan et al. incorporated fluorine and heavy atoms such as I, Br, and G1 into polymethine dyes, as shown in Fig. 14.6, to alter the fluorescence lifetime of the dye without disturbing the other spectroscopic properties [73]. The fluorine or heavy-atom modified...

While spectral discrimination is the most common method of base caUing used, temporal discrimination offers several advantages (1) The Hfetime of the fluoro-phore is independent of concentration, (2) fluorescence Hfetime values may be determined with more accuracy than fluorescence intensity, (3) temporal measurements are not hindered by broad emission profiles, and (4) a single detection channel may be used. Soper has developed a method using heavy atom modified NIR dyes for base calling in DNA sequencing using temporal discrimination [74]. One... 

Once again it must be emphasized that we are here dealing not with a phenomenon predicted by quantum mechanics, but with a convenient mode of description, in terms of approximations, of matters to which those approximations ought really never to have been applied. That they have been so applied in an imperfect world is a necessity imposed by the absence of methods which are at the same time precise and manageable. A correct solution of the wave equation for a combined carbon atom (in methane) would presumably predict four symmetrically disposed axes of maximum electric density for the configuration of minimum energy, and not the existence of 2s and 2p wave functions. The latter apply to isolated atoms in any case. Interaction with other atoms modifies the density distribution, as is seen from the fact that two hydrogen atoms, each with...

The importance of the oxidation of Ci molecules in electrochemical energy conversion has prompted intense research efforts to find new more active electrocatalysts or to improve the activity of existing catalysts, for instance, platinum. Efforts to enhance the catalytic properties of metal electrodes toward C electrooxidation include both bulk alloys and pure metal surfaces modified by ad-atoms (modifiers), usually deposited in the underpotential region. 

Finally, ad-atom-modified electrodes may also exhibit selectivity regarding the products obtained after electrolysis. Selective oxidation is particularly important in organic electrosynthesis. Two examples of selective oxidation of organic compounds will be discussed the oxidation of gly-colaldehyde in acid solutions on Pt and Pt/Sbajs [117] and the oxidation of gluconic acid in alkaline solutions on Pt and Pt/Pbads [118].
