Cation-anion resonance

Fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) has also been used very often to design optical sensors. In this case, the sensitive layer contains the fluorophore and an analyte-sensitive dye, the absorption band of which overlaps significantly with the emission of the former. Reversible interaction of the absorber with the analyte species (e.g. the sample acidity, chloride, cations, anions,...) leads to a variation of the absorption band so that the efficiency of energy transfer from the fluorophore changes36 In this way, both emission intensity- and lifetime-based sensors may be fabricated. 

With counteranions of lower nucleophilicity the " Sn NMR chemical resonance of solutions of tributyl tin salts is further shifted to lower field. Lambert and Kuhlmann reported for the tiibutylstarmyl borate Bu3SnB(C6F5)3H 8" Sn = 360 in benzene and Kira and co-workers found for the related BusSnTFPB 8 Sn = 356 in CD2Cl2. In the latter case, F NMR spectroscopy indicates no cation-anion interaction. Finally, for Bu3SnTPFPB in toluene at —60 °C 5" Sn = 434.2 was reported by Piers et The solvent dependence of the Sn NMR chemical shift suggests... 

A comparative study of the variation in the F chemical shift of the P F " resonances of complexes 5 or 27 on addition of increasing amounts of the salt KPFe was carried out. The resonances were compared with those of free RPF. The results are represented in Figure 3.8. A similar study was carried out with the BF4 complexes 6 and 28 and the salt NBU4BF4. For the complexes, the chemical shift of the anion is different to that of the free salts. When an increasing amount of the salt is added the chemical shift changes and it approaches that of the free anion. This observation points to the existence of some cation-anion interaction in solution that modifies the anion resonances. A F, H-HOESY experiment confirmed the existence of these contacts in the case of complex 27. A correlation between the fluorine resonance of the PFg anion and the protons of the pyridazine ring indicates that the counter-anion...

The reactivity of the clusters can then be studied by various experimental techniques, including fast flow reactor kinetics in the postvaporization expansion region of a laser evaporation source [21, 22], ion flow tube reactor kinetics of ionic clusters [23, 24], ion cyclotron resonance [25, 26], guided-ion-beam [27], and ion-trap experiments [28-30]. Which of these techniques is applied depends on the charge state of reactants (neutral, cationic, anionic), on whether the clusters are size-selected before the reaction zone, on single or multiple collisions of the clusters with the reactants, on the pressure of a buffer gas if present, and on the temperature and collision energy of the reactant molecules. 

The work described in the present paper concerns the Influence of water and organic solvents on the ionic interactions in lightly sulfonated polystyrene (SFS) ionomers. The focus will be specifically directed towards the Influence of the solvent environment on the cation-anion and cation-cation interactions. Fourier transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was used to probe the former while electron spin resonance spectroscopy (ESR) was used to study the latter. Experiments were carried out with dissolved, swollen, and bulk ionomers. 

The course of chemical reactions in irradiated proteins is determined hy factors that influence the reactivity of the primary free radicals, the kind of protein radicals formed, and the decay of these protein radicals to stable products. To understand these reactions, basic radiation chemical concepts are considered, chemical changes in several representative proteins irradiated under different conditions are compared, and results from optical and electron spin resonance studies on model systems are presented. Among the reactions described are those involving cation, anion, and a-carbon radicals of amino acids and peptides. Analogous reactions common to proteins are then summarized. These mechanistic considerations have important implications for the irradiation of hydrated muscle proteins at — 40°C and for radiation sterilization of foods. 

Ionic polarization involves the displacement of cations relative to anions. Resonance occurs when the frequency of the applied field is close to the natural frequency of vibration of the ions. The latter is determined by the strength of the bond holding the ions, which in... 

Styrene is one of those monomers that lends itself to polymerization by free-radical, cationic, anionic, and coordination mechanisms. This is due to several reasons. One is resonance stabilization of the reactive polystyryl species in the transition state that lowers the activation energy of the propagation reaction. Another is the low polarity of the monomer. This facilitates attack by free radicals, differently charged ions, and metal complexes. In addition, no side reactions that occur in ionic polymerizations of monomers with functional groups,are possible. Styrene pol erizes in the dark by a free-radical mechanism more slowly than it does in the presence of light. Also, styrene formed in the dark is reported to have a greater amount of syndiotactic placement. The amount of branching in the polymer prepared by a free-radical mechanism increases with temperature. This...
