Also in this case the calculated (predicted) retention values showed good agreement with the experimental results. It has been concluded that pH gradient elution may enhance the separation efficacy of RP-HPLC systems when one or more analyses contain dissociable molecular parts [81]. As numerous natural pigments and synthetic dyes contain ioniz-able groups, the calculations and theories presented in [80] and [81] and discussed above may facilitate the prediction of the effect of mobile phase pH on their retention, and consequently may promote the rapid selection of optimal chromatographic conditions for their separation. 

The interaction of phenylbiguanide and ethyl p-ethoxypropionate in the presence of sodium methoxide yields a readily dissociable molecular complex of the expected guanamine and phenylbiguanide 486) (CLXIX). Aqueous picric acid cleaves the complex into the picrates of its constituents. However, the complex is not formed from the pre-formed 2- -ethoxyethyl-6-phenylguanamine (or its methyl analogue) and phenyl-biguanide in methanol or acetonitrile, and its nature is not completely understood (see also ref. 605). 

Desorption can proceed via several mechanisms. For solids with a negative electron alSnity such as Ar [49,149-151] and N2 [153], the extended electron cloud around a metastable center will interact repulsively with the surrounding medium and metastables formed at the film-vacuum interface will be expelled into vacuum (the so-called cavity expulsion mechanism [161]). Also permitted in solids with positive electron affinities (e.g., CO) is the transfer of energy intramolecular vibration to the molecule-surface bond with the resulting desorption of a molecule in lower vibrational level [153,155,158-160]. Desorption of metastables via the excitation of dissociative molecular (or excimer) electronic states is also possible [49,149-151,154,156,157]. A concise review of the topic can be found in Ref. 162.

From the point of view of chemical reaction dynamics, the most interesting case is that of unbound excited states or excited states coupled to a dissociative continuum that is, photodissociation dynamics. The dissociative electronically excited states of polyatomic molecules can exhibit very complex dynamics, usually involving nonadiabatic processes. The TRPES and TRCIS may be used to study the complex dissociation dynamics of neutral polyatomic molecules, and below we will give two examples of dissociative molecular systems that have been studied by these approaches, NO2 and (NO)2. 

Tret yakov [111] did not find half-order kinetics for the atomisation of hydrogen by gold under these conditions. On the contrary, they reported first-order kinetics. They attributed the observation of half-order kinetics by Brennan and Fletcher for this system to the presence of surface impurities capable of rapidly dissociating molecular hydrogen, whereas molecular adsorption on the clean surface, being activated, was considered by them to be rate-determining. We will return to the H2—Au system in Sect. 3.2.1(d). Nomes and Donaldson [8] have demonstrated half-order behaviour for the N2—W system, but over a narrower pressure range. 

Unlike the fluorine interacting with practically any type of chemical bonds the molecular chlorine at low temperature selectively interacts with double bonds of olefin series. To overcome the high activation energy for common chlorination the UV light has been applied to dissociate molecular chlorine to atoms. 

Common to each proposed SMSI mechanism is the reduction of the support by hydrogen. The reductions occur near 500°C in the presence of a metal able to chemisorb and dissociate molecular hydrogen. 

A British scientist Sydney Chapman suggested the basic ideas of stratospheric ozone in the 1930s, which have become known as the Chapman cycle. Short wavelength UV hv) can dissociate molecular oxygen and the atomic oxygen fragments produced react with oxygen molecules to make ozone. 

The electron affinities of clusters behave in a similar manner. This fact, undoubtedly, has a role to play in the chemistry exhibited by nanometals that has been reported in the literature recently. For example, it has been shown that Au atoms (Gold is a noble metal in the bulk state) supported on a TiOa substrate shows a marked size effect in their ability to oxidize the diatomic gas CO to CO2 via a mechanism involving O2 dissociative chemisorption and CO adsorption (Valden et al., 1998). Small Ni particles have also been found to dissociate CO (Doering et al., 1982). Smaller nanoparticles of Ag can dissociate molecular oxygen to atomic oxygen at low temperatures, whereas in the bulk state, the species adsorbed on the Ag surface is O2 (Rao et al., 1992).

As follows from Fig. 2d, contrarily to the pure ceria sample, samples of mixed fluorite-like solid solutions retain molecular forms of oxygen (O2 [16]). The intensity of those bands is higher for samples containing calcium, fluorine and smaller amount of zirconium. It seems to correlate with the decreased ability of those systems to dissociate molecular oxygen due to a lower density of either highly unsaturated cations or clustered centers. 

Ozone formation occurs in the stratosphere above 30km altitude, where solar UV radiation of wavelengths less than 242 nm slowly dissociates molecular oxygen ... 

Surface defects, steps, and kinks dissociate molecular bonds more readily and exhibit higher heats of adsorption for the chemisorbed atoms or the molecular fragments. Find two examples of such chemical behavior and discuss the possible relationship between the electronic structure and the atomic structure of the defect and its reactivity to break adsorbate bonds.
