Due to the large size of the zeolite crystals the rigorous quantum chemical methods cannot be used for the description of the entire zeolite crystal. Therefore, simplified models are used for the zeolite description. Model is defined as a set of simplifying approximations adopted for the description of a specific system. In general, model definition includes (i) specification of the set of atomic nuclei representing the system, (ii) set of constraints applied (e. g., boundary conditions, constraints used in geometry optimization, etc.), (iii) number of electrons explicitly treated, and (iv) interaction potentials between particles in the system. It is sometimes advantageous to limit the model definition to items (i) and (ii) and refer to items (iii) and (iv) as method . The notation model/method defined by items (i)-(ii)/(iii)-(iv), respectively, is adopted here. First we describe quantum chemical methods applicable on zeolites followed by the discussion of various models used for the zeolite representation.

The electron density of a substrate does not drop to zero at the surface, but decays approximately exponentially on the outside of the surface within a short decay length which characterizes to some extent the electronic or chemical properties of the surface (cf. Fig. 1). The tunnel current between the substrate and a counterelectrode sharpened to a pointed tip strongly depends on the decay length and on the distance between tip and substrate. Scanning of the tip over the substrate traces an almost true image of the surface topography and probes the surface chemistry. The STM is nondestructive, it is a structural and chemical method, applicable to both periodic and nonperiodic surface features and can be operated at ambient pressure. The STM yields less accurate data on surface structures than e.g. low energy electron diffraction. However, as it resolves space and time it allows the observation of the nucleation of the surface reconstruction. 

The third method is of limited application and is used only in special cases, The second is the most accurate and rapid method, and is of considerable technical importance. The chemical method (described below), although less accurate than the polarimetric method, is of great value for the estimation of sugars in biological fluids. In fact, for such purposes, it is often to be preferred to the polarimetric method owing to the probable presence of other substances having high optical rotations. 

At the end of the 1930s, the only generally available method for determining mean MWs of polymers was by chemical analysis of the concentration of chain end-groups this was not very accurate and not applicable to all polymers. The difficulty of applying well tried physical chemical methods to this problem has been well put in a reminiscence of early days in polymer science by Stockmayer and Zimm (1984). The determination of MWs of a solute in dilute solution depends on the ideal, Raoult s Law term (which diminishes as the reciprocal of the MW), but to eliminate the non-ideal terms which can be substantial for polymers and which are independent of MW, one has to go to ever lower concentrations, and eventually one runs out of measurement accuracy . The methods which were introduced in the 1940s and 1950s are analysed in Chapter 11 of Morawetz s book. 

Chemical methods involve removing a portion of the reacting system, quenching of the reaction, inhibition of the reaction that occurs within the sample, and direct determination of concentration using standard analytical techniques—a spectroscopic metliod. These methods provide absolute values of the concentration of the various species that are present in the reaction mixture. However, it is difficult to automate chemical mediods, as the sampling procedure does not provide a continuous record of tlie reaction progress. They are also not applicable to very fast reaction techniques. 

Tautomerism can be studied by various chemical and physical techniques, In principle, it is possible to obtain significant results from chemical evidence, but in practice this is very difficult, and physical methods are much more useful. Chemical methods are discussed first and emphasis is placed on the dangers inherent in their application. It... 

In general, physical methods have been used to study tautomerism more successfully than chemical methods, and, of the physical methods, those involving measurements of basicities and ultraviolet spectra are the most important, followed by those involving measurement of infrared and proton resonance spectra. An attempt is made here to delineate the scope and to indicate the advantages and disadvantages of the various methods. A short review by Mason of the application of spectroscopic methods appeared in 1955. Recently a set of reviews on the applications of physical methods to heterocyclic chemistry has appeared, which treats incidentally the determination of tautomeric structure. 

In practical terms, it is suggested that, in any application where the presence of halide ions may cause problems, the concentration of these be monitored to ensure the purity of the liquids. This may be achieved either by the use of an ion-sensitive electrode, or alternatively by use of a chemical method such as the Vollhard procedure for chloride ions [52]. Seddon et al. have reported that effectively identical results were obtained with either method [37]. 

The quality of the fiber matrix interface is significant for the application of natural fibers as reinforcement fibers for plastics. Physical and chemical methods can be used to optimize this interface. These modification methods are of different efficiency for the adhesion between matrix and fiber. 

Among the chemical methods proposed for the objective measurement of maturity may be listed total solids, alcohol-insoluble solids, and starch, based upon the fact that these constituents increase in concentration with maturity. Each has its limitations and advantages, and all are equally applicable as long as the limitations are taken into account. These methods as they apply to frozen peas have been discussed by Nielsen and co-workers (31) and by Lee (22).

The chemical task in quantum chemistry consist of choosing a proven model (i. e. the reduction of the molecular system to as few as possible atoms while conserving its characteristic properties), and choosing a reliable quantum chemical method, and last but not least, the interpretation of the data calculated using suitable reaction theoretical concepts5 . The following part deals with quantum chemical methods often used and special qualities of their application. 

The maintenance of a connection to experiment is essential in that reliability is only measurable against experimental results. However, in practice, the computational cost of the most reliable conventional quantum chemical methods has tended to preclude their application to the large, low-symmetry molecules which form liquid crystals. There have however, been several recent steps forward in this area and here we will review some of these newest developments in predictive computer simulation of intramolecular properties of liquid crystals. In the next section we begin with a brief overview of important molecular properties which are the focus of much current computational effort and highlight some specific examples of cases where the molecular electronic origin of macroscopic properties is well established. 

Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is one of the most important commercial thermoplastic polyesters, which has been on the market since 1977 and is widely used in both industrial and household applications. Under specific conditions, plastics can be converted into their primary components for use in other chemical processes by chemical recycling. PET is a thermoplastic, and so recycling by chemical methods, which converts it into primary components, can be achieved. This study examines the optimal routes of the existing chemical methods. For chemical recycling, acidic hydrolysis is used and PET is converted into terephthalic acid (TPA) and... 

Applications of the theory described in Section III.A.2 to malonaldehyde with use of the high level ab initio quantum chemical methods are reported below [94,95]. The first necessary step is to define 21 internal coordinates of this nine-atom molecule. The nine atoms are numerated as shown in Fig. 12 and the Cartesian coordinates x, in the body-fixed frame of reference (BF) i where n= 1,2,... 9 numerates the atoms are introduced. This BF frame is defined by the two conditions. First, the origin is put at the center of mass of the molecule.
