Tn previous communications (7, 9, 10, H, 12) from this laboratory results have been presented on association reactions between long-chain ionic and long-chain polar compounds. The results have implications regarding the properties of interfaces, including those present in certain biological systems. The latter aspects have been emphasized by Schulman and Rideal (22). 

Dave (12) and Supina (6) have compared the properties of the two series these references are useful in selection of the appropriate porous polymer for a specific separation. The porous polymers are useful for analysis of permanent gases and for short chain polar compounds such as glycols, acids, amines. Water is eluted as a symmetrical peak with these materials. It is important to note that for most polar compounds such as acids or amines, it is desirable to use glass columns rather than metal. 

The 20 common naturally occurring amino-acids are shown in Fig. 5.AI. They are subdivided into three groups depending on the nature of the side chains, i.e. non-polar with alkyl and hydroxy side chains, polar with basic groups and polar with acid groups. 

Ion-exchange resins exist that have differential binding affinities for all the naturally occurring amino acids. Such resins are effective in separating a solution of amino acids into its components. We must emphasize that the details of the forces responsible for the differential binding of amino acids to an ion-exchange resin are quite complicated and depend additionally on side-chain polarity, on subtle... 

Since its introduction several years ago, the virtual bond, constrained optimization method has proved very useful in studies of polysaccharide crystal structure. Notable among the successes that can be ascribed to it are the structural determinations of the double-helical amylose (.11), the cellulose polymorphs of different chain polarities (.12, 13), and of a number of other polysaccharides and their derivatives. As described in a review of amylose structures elsewhere in this volume, the use of this refinement method has produced structural detail that has previously been unavailable (ll). These results have provided much-needed... 

An "up" chain has Z(05) >Z(C5) in each case the glycosidic oxygen 01 Is at (0,0,0) for the corner chain and the stagger defines the c displacement of 01 for the center chain. It should be noted that the different chain polarities in models pi and P2 lead to different models, regardless of the chain stagger ... 

The complementary. ..DADA... motif is, of course the most favourable, resulting in individual polar chains. The evidence indicates that these chains run for about 100 A before a mistake occurs, resulting in the incorporation of either a. .. DD... (i.e. N—H H—N) or. .. AA... (i.e. N02 02N) defect, which has the effect of reversing the chain polarity. The key point is that it is less likely that an. .. AA... defect will occur than a. ..DD... type. This is because the interaction between the two N02 groups is repulsive, whereas there is some attraction from the proton of one NH group to the nitrogen of another NH moiety. As a result, as the channels assemble, the operation of statistics dictates that there will be more N02 end groups at the channel entrance than NH moieties. 

From the fact that all workers have found considerable lowering of tension by organic vapours, it seems likely that these displace the layers of oxide or other contamination that may be present initially. Owing to the discordant results, it is difficult to say more, with certainty, than that the adsorbed films of organic vapours on mercury are usually gaseous, and that there may be more lateral adhesion in the films of short-chain, polar substances than of hydrocarbons. 

In Table 7 is presented the effect of addition of 5 mol% ethanol to toluene on the characteristics of the extracts. It can be seen a great increase in the grouped fraction F1-F5 -around 60%, while the resin content was not significantly changed and the asphaltenes-asphaltols distribution decreased dramatically. Since ethanol is a small-chain polar solvent,... 

Inverted micellar cubic phases have been observed mainly in mixtures of double-chain polar lipids with fatty acids or diacylglycerols but also in some single-component dispersions of glycolipids (61). The most frequently observed inverted micellar cubic phase in lipids is of space group Fd im). For medium-chain lipids (>16C atoms), it typically forms via an Hn-Q transition however, the Lp gel phase of diC19-xylopyranosyl has been found to melt directly into the Fd im cubic phase (61). 

Specially treated glass beads have been used as supports for high-molecular-weight compounds. The beads are usually etched and silanized prior to coating with the liquid phase. Teflon is a useful support material for the analysis of short chain polar substances, which tail on diatomaceous supports, and is particularly indicated for the analysis of corrosive substances such as halogenated acids. 

Thus in view of the aforementioned reasons, for times t > To we can ignore the local changes of the chain polarization while an ionic state moves along it, and imagine the latter as is shown in Fig. 9. 

Similar mesoscopic quantum effects take place also in short hydrogen-bonded chains and in small clusters, which include hydrogen bonds. The phenomenon of large proton polarizability and fast oscillations of the polarization of the chain were studied experimentally by Zundel and coworkers [6,249,288,289]. A theoretical study of macroscopic tunneling of the chain polarization has been conducted in Refs. 319-322.
