Solvent data, comparison

Many dithiocarbamato complexes have been studied with voltametric techniques. Comparison of data, however, is often difficult because different solvents and reference electrodes have been used. The solvent and the reference electrodes used in recent studies of Martin as. (43, 68, 162, acetone and an Ag/AgCl, 0.1 M LiCl electrode) and those in our work (34, 37, 56, 150,163, CH2CI2 and a saturated calomel electrode) give results sufficiently close to make a general discussion of the data possible. 

Morris et al. carried out extensive studies [20] of the acidity of metal hydrides in tetrahydrofuran (THF), including metal hydrides of very low acidity as well as dihydrogen complexes that are reactive with CH3CN. The dielectric constant of THF is low compared to that of CH3CN, so ion-pairing issues must be taken into account [21], though these measurements in THF provide useful comparisons to data in CH3CN and other solvents. 

Figure 20. Electro-osmotic drag coefficients of diverse membranes based on perfluorinated polymers (Dow - and Nafion/silica composites ) and polyarylenes (S—PEK/ PSU blends, ionically cross-linked S—PEK/PBP ), as a function of the solvent (water/methanol) volume fraction Xy (see text for references). Lines represent data for Nafion and S—PEK (given for comparison) for data points, see Figure 15. Dashed lines correspond to the maximum possible electro-osmotic drag coefficients for water and methanol, as indicated (see text).

Throughout the remainder of the chapter it should be understood that any rate constants that are presented are apparent rate constants unless otherwise indicated to be those for the free ion or ion pair. In general, the available data are used to point out certain trends (e.g., the effect of solvent on reactivity) without necessarily accepting the exact value of any reported rate constant as that for the ion pair or free ion. Comparison of data from different investigators should be done with caution. 

What does Eq. (6.246) mean This equation represents the adsorption process of ions on metallic surfaces. It includes several conditions that are characteristic of the adsorption process of ionic species, namely, surface heterogeneity, solvent displacement, charge transfer, lateral interactions, and ion size. However, is this equation capable of describing the adsorption process of ions In other words, what is the success of the isotherm described in Eq. (6.246) Figure 6.104 shows a comparison of data obtained experimentally for the adsorption of two ions—chloride and bisulfate—on polycrystalline platinum, with that obtained applying Eq. (6.246). The plots indicate that the theory is able to reproduce the experimental results quite satisfactorily. The isotherm may be considered a success in the theory of ionic adsorption. 

Note The choice of rotor speed in a SV experiment depends inversely on the size of the RNA molecule being studied. The larger the molecule is, the faster it sediments. The velocity should be chosen appropriately so as to allow collection of at least 50—60 absorbance scans before the solvent-solution boundary hits the base of the cell. For a molecule of about 400 nucleotides (mol. wt. 130 kDa), we choose velocities around 25,000 rpm ( 30,000 x g), whereas for a molecule of about 250 nucleotides (mol. wt. 75 kDa), we choose velocities around 30,000 rpm ( 85,000 x g). When initiating folding studies on a new RNA molecule, it is desirable to run the samples at different velocities to find the appropriate range. However, once a velocity is decided upon, all the experiments with a given RNA molecule should be performed at the same velocity to allow comparison between data sets.]... 

Other reference electrodes for use in polar aptotic solvents. Emphasis has been given to the use of the silver-silver ion reference electrode because it is almost universally applicable, and because standardization on the use of one reference electrode system simplifies the comparison of data between different workers. However, a number of other reference electrodes have been used (see Table 5.4), particularly those that have resulted from the vast amount of batteiy research. These include the Li/Li(solv)+ and other alkali metal electrodes that function reversibly in Me2SO, propylene carbonate, and hexa-methylphosphoramide. The thallium-thallous halide electrodes of the second kind also function reversibly in Me2SO and propylene carbonate. The cadmium amalgam-cadmium chloride reference electrode also functions reversibly in dimethylformamide and may be a useful substitute for the silver-silver ion reference electrode, which may be unstable in dimethyformamide.54... 

We first illustrated this type of effect during rapid scan voltammetry of PVF films in concentrated NaC104 solutions, where the overall redox switching process involves ingress of counter ion, salt and solvent upon oxidation (34). Quantitative treatment of such effects is better explored using a potential step, i.e. chronoamperometry. EQCM data from such an experiment are shown in Figure 3. For comparison purposes, data for analogous experiments in 0.1 and 3 mol dm 3 electrolyte, where the polymer is / is not permselective, are superimposed. 

The p/ a values of a number of organic acids in DMSO are listed in Table 5, which inlcudes for comparison corresponding data for a hydroxylic solvent, methanol or water. The particular data in the Table have been selected mainly to illustrate the reversal which can occur on comparing pKa for certain compounds in hydroxylic solvents and in DMSO. A more complete listing has been compiled by Ritchie (1969) and more recently by Matthews, Bordwell et al. (1975). 

Numerous experiments have been performed on the action of solutes on Ps formation in liquids. Parameters that have been examined are nature and concentration of the solutes, temperature, nature of the solvent, presence of cosolutes, electric and magnetic field effects. Due to the ease of dissolution of a large variety of compounds, the most studied solvent is water, which allows larger possibilities of comparison with data from pulse radiolysis.

Comparison of low molecular weight atactic polypropene from solvent extraction of a polymer produced using a conventional TiCU/MgCb catalyst with two high molecular weight atactic polypropenes of different molecular weight prepared by [Me2Si(Flu)2)ZrCl2MAO. For comparison typical data of an isotactic polypropene prepared by a conventional catalyst are also given [150]...

Tables 8 and 9 present data for extraction of humic substances from a sapric histosol and from two tropical soils using various combinations of DMSO, acid, and water. For comparison, some data are presented for solution in sodium hydroxide and neutral sodium pyrophosphate solutions. Use is made of EJEf, ratios to indicate differences in the solution conformations and/or compositions of the humic substances in the different solvent systems.

Table 1 summarizes the maximum rate of reaction, onset temperature, and weight loss percent at 495°C for the ODA/PMDA polyamic acid as well as the para and meta isomers. Additionally, a comparison of data obtained with and without solvent removal is provided. 

DBQT and DBST were insoluble in acetonitrile and, therefore, optieal data of the oligomers measured in dichloromethane were used for comparison. The data show that the kind of solvent has no big influence on the value of absorption maxima. 

Previous calculations on other conjugated systems in vacuo have given a"/a ratios ranging from 0.1 to 0.4 a value of about 0.3 is computed for all the four molecules in vacuo. On the contrary, no comparisons with data from literature can be made for solvated systems, as never studied before. Anyway, our results show that the solvent effects induce either... 

First of all, single amines were studied in order to validate the solvent screening apparatus. The CO2 absorption capaeity of MEA 30wt%, MDEA 50wt% and Pz 30wt% aqueous solutions were measured at 40 C and pressure of 1 bar (12% CO2 and 88% N2). The results obtained from this equipment were compared with the values reported in literature [31 - 33], Comparison between data of this present work and data from literature are in good aoeordanee (table 1). 

Estimates of European and US solvent use (ktpa) in anticorrosion and marine coatings are shown in Table 8.8. A comparison of data from different sources is difficult in this case because consistent definitions of what is and is not included are not used. 

The ratio of properties in Equation 9.24 is called the Krichevskii function, and identified at the solvent critical point as the Krichevskii parameter (Levelt Sengers 1991). The first EST correlation for partial molar volumes of gases in liquids was done by Brelvi (Brelvi and O Connell 1975c), using characteristic properties for his correlation of the reduced bulk modulus (Brelvi and O Connell 1972). Recent work (Ellegaard, Abildskov, and O Connell 2011) has used the form of Equation 9.4 for partial molar volumes of gases in ILs. The comparisons with data for these systems seem not to be as successful as for their compressibilities and phase equilibria, for reasons that are not apparent.
