Binary ionogenic equilibria

Two different isothermal reactors designed, not for kinetic measurements, but for the observation of equilibria by means of simultaneous spectroscopic and conductivity measurements were devised by two groups (Holdcroft and Plesch, 1985 Pask and Nuyken, 1983). The purpose of both was to observe how a binary ionogenic equilibrium of the type... 

The important feature was the recognition that because the relation between k and [TiClJ was rectilinear, the number of concentration terms on each side of the equilibrium had to be the same, which ruled out the involvement of ion-pairs. Our work opened up the new field of binary ionogenic equilibria (BIE) which was to prove an essential preliminary to unravelling the mechanism of the polymerisation of isobutene by A1C13. We also showed... 

In many cases, ionic associate undergoes the process of ionic dissociation (see paragraph 9.2.5). If permittivity of mixture is not high, interaction can limit itself to formation of non-ionogenic ionic associate, as exemplified by the binary solvent anisol-m-cresol, where the following equilibrium is established ...
