Attraction London forces

The physicochemical forces between colloidal particles are described by the DLVO theory (DLVO refers to Deijaguin and Landau, and Verwey and Overbeek). This theory predicts the potential between spherical particles due to attractive London forces and repulsive forces due to electrical double layers. This potential can be attractive, or both repulsive and attractive. Two minima may be observed The primary minimum characterizes particles that are in close contact and are difficult to disperse, whereas the secondary minimum relates to looser dispersible particles. For more details, see Schowalter (1984). Undoubtedly, real cases may be far more complex Many particles may be present, particles are not always the same size, and particles are rarely spherical. However, the fundamental physics of the problem is similar. The incorporation of all these aspects into a simulation involving tens of thousands of aggregates is daunting and models have resorted to idealized descriptions. 

Instantaneous dipoles lead to attractive London forces, which affect molecules in solutions. 

The largest man-made cycloalkane is C28sH576. Because of attractive London forces (Section 2-7), the molecule cuds up into a spherical shape. 

It appears that at that point the hydrophobic alkyl group is optimal for penetrating the equally hydrophobic ceU wall through attractive London forces. 

This phase separation could be explained by the secondary minimum in the now familiar potential curves, ft should be mentioned, however, that some authors, judging that the attracting London forces are too weak to m kc themselves felt over distances of the order of 500 A, in this case seek other explanations... 

Boiling Point When describing the effect of alkane structure on boiling point m Sec tion 2 17 we pointed out that van der Waals attractive forces between neutral molecules are of three types The first two involve induced dipoles and are often referred to as dis persion forces or London forces... 

Induced dipole/mduced dipole attraction (Section 2 17) Force of attraction resulting from a mutual and complemen tary polanzation of one molecule by another Also referred to as London forces or dispersion forces Inductive effect (Section 1 15) An electronic effect transmit ted by successive polanzation of the cr bonds within a mol ecule or an ion...

Hydrocarbons without bulky side groups are held together by London forces, the weakest of intermolecular attractions. This means that the free volume tends to be large for these compounds, so a relatively large amount of cooUng is necessary before the free volume collapses. Thus Tg is low for these compounds. 

Until surface contact, the force between molecules is always one of attraction, although this attraction has different origins in different systems. London forces, dipole-dipole attractions, acid-base interactions, and hydrogen bonds are some of the types of attraction we have in mind. In the foregoing list, London forces are universal and also the weakest of the attractions listed. The interactions increase in strength and also in specificity in the order listed. 

Reactions of iV -alkylated or arylated azinium compounds with nucleophiles proceed more readily than those of the parent, uncation-ized azines, and the ring tends to open. The iV -substituent may bring into play an accelerative effect from the London forces of attraction. Increased displaceability of the substituent in iV -alkyl-azinium compounds has been noted for 2-halopyridinium (87) 1-haloisoquinolinium, 4-halopyrimidinium, 4-methoxypyrid-inium (88), 4-phenoxy- and 4-acetamido-quinazolinium (89), 3-methylthiopyridazinium, and 2-car boxymethylthiopyrimidi-nium salts (90). The latter was prepared in situ from the iV -alkyl-pyrimidine-2-thione. The activation can be effectively transmitted to... 

The accelerative effect of London forces of attraction between a nucleophile and nearby substituents has been investigated in quinoline and benzene derivatives by Bunnett and co-workers, ii7b, 307 In 2-, 4-, and 6-arylsulfonyl-3-nitrochlorobenzene, Loudon and Shulman found that arylmercaptide ion, presumably through this effect, displaced the arylsulfonyl group while methoxide or ammonia displaced the nitro or chloro group. 

London force The force of attraction that arises from the interaction between instantaneous electric dipoles on neighboring molecules. 

Finally, the most significant mechanistic feature of the Ramberg-Backlund rearrangement is the stereoselective formation of ds-olefin products, as a result of the preferential cis-positioning of the pair of R groups in the episulfone-forming transition state, variously attributed to London forces , to diastereoselectivity in carbanion formation and to steric attraction . However, with the use of stronger bases such as potassium t-butoxide °, the trans-olefin predominates (equation 52), apparently due to prior epimerization of the kinetically favoured cts-episulfone, and subsequent loss of the sulfur dioxide. Similarly, when the episulfone intermediates possess unusually acidic... 

The dispersion forces (London forces) which are always attractive. 

In addition to the static induction effects included in I/scf, the hot Drude oscillators give rise to a 1/r6, temperature-dependent, attractive term. This jkg Ta2/r6 term is the classical thermodynamic equivalent of the London quantum dispersive attraction IEa2/r6. It corresponds to a small perturbation to the London forces, because k T is at least two orders of magnitude smaller than the typical ionization energy IE. The smaller the temperature of the Drude motion, the closer the effective potential is to the SCF potential, making Eq. (9-57) independent of mo, the mass of the oscillators. 

The Smoluchowski-Levich approach discounts the effect of the hydrodynamic interactions and the London-van der Waals forces. This was done under the pretense that the increase in hydrodynamic drag when a particle approaches a surface, is exactly balanced by the attractive dispersion forces. Smoluchowski also assumed that particles are irreversibly captured when they approach the collector sufficiently close (the primary minimum distance 5m). This assumption leads to the perfect sink boundary condition at the collector surface i.e. cp 0 at h Sm. In the perfect sink model, the surface immobilizing reaction is assumed infinitely fast, and the primary minimum potential well is infinitely deep. 

In the concentrated environment of electroplating baths, the diffusiophoretic force is the only force that can counteract the attractive London-van der Waals force. An appreciable diffusiophoretic force is, however, only present in binary electrolytes. In practice, particles are codeposited from supported electrolytes. In supported electrolytes, the diffusiophoretic force is absent, and Valdes model predict that under...
