Contracted 157----------------------------------------Coordinate driving

Reaction of (9) with A1H((-Bu)2 liberates cyclooctene, but at 40 °C it slowly isomerizes thermally in solution to the stable CpCo derivative (11) (Scheme 18). In the presence of excess cod, this latter complex is converted catalytically to tetrahydropentalene. Ring contraction to the pentalenyl system can be understood as an intraligand reductive elimination see Reductive Elimination), the driving force of which may be coordination of cobalt to the double bond of free cod in solution. In the catalytic cycle some (10) is formed. 

This chapter describes the transduction of chemical energy into mechanical en-ergy—for example, the use of ATP hydrolysis to drive the contraction of muscles or to move cells, or the exploitation of transmembrane proton-motive force to rotate bacterial flagella. The authors describe how nanometer motions of proteins can be converted into the coordinated movements of cellular organelles, bacteria, and even animals themselves. 

The central nervous system controls the muscles through two sets of coordinated efferent systems, the a- and y-motoneurons [26, 169, 170] (Figure 5.5). The contraction of skeletal muscle is controlled directly by the a-motoneurons alpha drive is used where speed of movement is essential, and... 

H-O bond contraction. Coulomb repulsion, and dual-process polarization drive the supersolidity with multiple features. The molecular separation doo = d + dn grows and molecular size d shrinks simultaneously at the skins because of the molecular under-coordination [21]. The H-0 bond contraction follows the rule of BOLS correlation the doo expansion results from the Coulomb repulsion between electron pairs on adjacent oxygen atoms [21, 24]. The polarization of water molecules in the molecular clusters [25, 26], surface skins, or ultrathin films of water is related to the molecule volume expansion because of the molecular charge conservation. The undercoordination-induced polarization lowers the work function of the bound electrons [6].
