Compound Phases - Solutions

Systems with several components contained within a single phase are called  

- we do not use the term mixture for condensed solutions since a mixture of liquids or solids may contain one or several phases, and liquids and solids are not always miscible in all proportions. This means that a system may occur whose composition is not homogeneous it is therefore composed of several phases. (Note that a phase is a region of space in which all intensive variables are continuous functions of space variables.) 

The involvement of several components in a phase consequently introduces new couples of intensive and extensive variables (one couple per component) chemical potentials and amounts of matter (see section 2.2.4), and then the involvement of new variables compositions, partial molar variables (see section 2.3), chemical potentials (see section 2.6) and mixing variables.

Knowing a solntion means being able to express the thermodynamic coefficients or a characteristic function in at least one ensemble of variables. To study the solutions we often use the ensemble of variables consisting of

A third catalytic route to isopropyl alcohol from propylene involves the use of polytungsten compounds in solution in a Hquid-phase reactor (101). 

Nowadays all over the world considerable attention is focused on development of chemical sensors for the detection of various organic compounds in solutions and gas phase. One of the possible sensor types for organic compounds in solutions detection is optochemotronic sensor - device of liquid-phase optoelectronics that utilize effect of electrogenerated chemiluminescence. In order to enhance selectivity and broaden the range of detected substances the modification of working electrode of optochemotronic cell with organic films is used. Composition and deposition technique of modifying films considerably influence on electrochemical and physical processes in the sensor.

Applications of photochemical techniques to reactions between coordination compounds in solution and gases at high pressures are reviewed. The main result of increasing the pressure in gas-liquid phase systems is to increase the solubility of the gas in the liquid. The high pressure photolysis technique has been used (1) to synthesize complexes containing N > CO, or... 

Some of the disadvantages of the Stille reaction, e. g. the low reactivity of some substrates, separation difficulties in chromatography, and the toxicity of tin compounds, have been ameliorated by recent efforts to improve the procedure. Curran has, in a series of papers, reported the development of the concept of fluorous chemistry, in which the special solubility properties of perfluorinated or partly fluorinated reagents and solvents are put to good use [45]. In short, fluorinated solvents are well known for their insolubility in standard organic solvents or water. If a compound contains a sufficient number of fluorine atoms it will partition to the fluorous phase, if such a phase is present. An extraction procedure would thus give rise to a three-phase solution enabling ready separation of fluorinated from nonfluorinated compounds. 

Though some more traditional thermodynamicists will be dismayed by the concept of solution phase bond dissociation enthalpy, the fact is that the database involving these quantities is growing fast. When used judiciously, they may provide important chemical insights—as is indeed the case for the stability of the O-H bond in phenolic compounds. Although solution phase bond dissociation enthalpies are not true bond dissociation enthalpies, because they include some contribution from intermolecular forces, a series of solution values like those in table 5.2 may be (and often is) taken as a good approximation of the trend in the gas-phase. 

In their papers Rodionov and coworkers described the polymerization of organolithium compounds in terms of the formation of lithium bonds (Scheme 1), analogous to hydrogen bonds, which brought about cyclic or linear association of these compounds in solution . However, the strong association of alkyllithium compounds, persisting even in the vapour phase, indicates that their association takes place through the formation of...
