Complex formulation, feature

The spectroscopic features of the DTBC complex with [Cu2(L55)], which has been detected at low temperature, suggests that catecholate binds as bridging ligand to the dicopper(II) complex in a r r fashion, as proposed for nitrocatecholate-copper(II) complexes (38). In the complex formulated as [CU2/DTBC] in reaction 17 the catechol is supposed to bind to the dicopper(I) complex in a symmetric r r bridging mode (757). A kinetic treatment of the two steps of the catalytic reaction yielded the parameters kj, Kj)j, and Kj)2 The activation and thermodynamic parameters were obtained from the temperature dependence of kj, and Kd2- The constants... 

The formulated principals correlating crystal structure features with the X Nb(Ta) ratio do not take into account the impact of the second cation. Nevertheless, substitution of a second cation in compounds of similar types can change the character of the bonds within complex ions. Specifically, the decrease in the ionic radius of the second (outer-sphere) cation leads not only to a decrease in its coordination number but also to a decrease in the ionic bond component of the complex [277]. 

The approach leads to simple and practical retrofit designs and has the major advantage that it allows the designer to assess modifications one at a time and to keep control over the complexity of the retrofit. Its disadvantage is that different combinations of modifications can be taken and there is no guarantee that this will lead to an optimum network retrofit. However, it is almost impossible to say that any retrofit is optimal or nonoptimal. The features of each retrofit are unique and it is difficult to formulate all the constraints for a retrofit in order to guarantee the very best retrofit. 

These assumptions are the basis of the simplest rational explanation of surface catalytic kinetics and models for it. The preeminent of these, formulated by Langmuir and Hinshelwood, makes the further assumption that for an overall (gas-phase) reaction, for example, A(g) +...- product(s), the rate-determining step is a surface reaction involving adsorbed species, such as A s. Despite the fact that reality is known to be more complex, the resulting rate expressions find wide use in the chemical industry, because they exhibit many of the commonly observed features of surface-catalyzed reactions. 

Because the solution of optimization problems involves various features of mathematics, the formulation of an optimization problem must use mathematical expressions. Such expressions do not necessarily need to be very complex. Not all problems can be stated or analyzed quantitatively, but we will restrict our coverage to quantitative methods. From a practical viewpoint, it is important to mesh properly the problem statement with the anticipated solution technique.
