After polymerization of 2,5-DSP, the c-axis (direction of chain growth) has contracted by 1.8% and the density has increased by about 1.0%. In the... 

The insertion of unsaturated molecules into metal-carbon bonds is a critically important step in many transition-metal catalyzed organic transformations. The difference in insertion propensity of carbon-carbon and carbon-nitrogen multiple bonds can be attributed to the coordination characteristics of the respective molecules. The difficulty in achieving a to it isomerization may be the reason for the paucity of imine insertions. The synthesis of amides by the insertion of imines into palladium(II)-acyl bonds is the first direct observation of the insertion of imines into bonds between transition metals and carbon (see Scheme 7). The alternating copolymerization of imines with carbon monoxide (in which the insertion of the imine into palladium-acyl bonds would be the key step in the chain growth sequence), if successful, should constitute a new procedure for the synthesis of polypeptides (see Scheme 7).348... 

Primary crystallization occurs when chain segments from a molten polymer that is below its equilibrium melting temperature deposit themselves on the growing face of a crystallite or a nucleus. Primary crystal growth takes place in the "a and b directions, relative to the unit cell, as shown schematically in Fig. 7.8. Inevitably, either the a or b direction of growth is thermodynamically favored and lamellae tend to grow faster in one direction than the other. The crystallite thickness, i.e., the c dimension of the crystallite, remains constant for a given crystallization temperature. Crystallite thickness is proportional to the crystallization temperature.

R. E. McCarley In response to the first question, it should be easy to predict those metal orbitals which would protrude from the 001 and 002 faces of NaMo4C>6, i.e. those faces normal to the direction of chain growth. However, up to the present time we have not considered such questions because of our generally poor understanding of bonding details in these extended systems. 

DNA REPLICATION begins at a defined origin, is bidirectional, and is semiconservative (one new chain, one old chain in daughter DNA), and chain growth occurs in the 5 to 3 direction. 

The third class of mechanisms is that originated by Pichler and Schulz in which chain growth is accomplished by direct insertion of an absorbed CO molecule into a carbon-metal bond produced by hydrogenation of a surface carbonyl (89). A complete representation of this mechanism (see... 

In some cases, as in case of diphenyl picryl hydrazide (DPPH), the action of inhibitor may be due to the fact that it can exist in the form of stable free radicals which stops the chain growth by direct coupling. 

An alternative approach for covalent polymer attachment is called the grafting from method. This method is based on binding the monomer precursor to the nanotube and generating chain growth directly from the tube. By these means, several types of polymers could be grafted, such as polystyrene-sulfonate [46], polyvinylpyri-dine [47], polystyrene [48] and many others. 

This review will outline the materials requirements for advanced alternative proton exchange membranes for fuel cells, assess recent progress in this area, and provide directions for the development of next-generation materials. The focus will be on the synthesis of polymeric materials that have attached ion conducting groups. State-of-the-art Nation and its commercially available perfluorosulfonic acid relatives will initially be discussed. Other chain-growth co-... 

Elasticity measurements already have been used to detect the presence of crosslinking proteins in cytoplasmic extracts(24). If preformed actin chains are employed, assessment of the rheological state of a network directly provides information about the parameters of crosslinking. Moreover, chain growth can bg studied, although indirectly, through the effects of Cq, Uq, on the concentration of crosslinking sites Sy. 

The fiberlike crystalline structures (shish) are highly stable to the point that they can be superheated [31]. Therefore, it is believed that the core of the shish is formed by crystallization of completely stretched polymer chains. The kebabs are believed to be folded-chain lamellar structures. The direction of growth of the kebabs is normal to the shish. The chain ahgnment in the kebabs is believed to be parallel to the shish. Similar structures are obtained by crystalhzation in polymer melt films exposed to orientational deformation [32,33]. These two-dimensional shish-kebabs also consist of a central fiber, shish, and periodically attached linear kebabs, with growth direction normal to the shish.
