The stereoelectronic representation (or lattice representation) of a molecule is a molecular description related to those molecular properties arising from electron distribution - interaction of the molecule with probes characterizing the space surrounding them (e.g. - molecular interaction fields). This representation is typical of - grid-based QSAR techniques. Descriptors at this level can be considered 4D-descriptors, being characterized by a scalar field, i.e. a lattice of scalar numbers associated with the 3D - molecular geometry. 

Hansch constant A measure of the capability of a solute for hydrophobic (lipophilic) interaction based on the partition coefficient P for distribution of the solute between octan-l-ol and water. The most general way of applying P in correlation analysis, qsar, etc., is as log P, but the behavior of substituted benzene derivatives may be quantified by a substituent constant scale, 7t, which is defined in a way analogous to the Hammett o scale. There are various 7t scales, depending on the substrate series used as reference. 

In the preceding sections we have studied diatomic interactions via U(R). However, the study of diatomic interactions can also be carried out in terms of the force F(R) instead of the energy U(R), where R denotes the internuclear separation. Though there are several methods for the calculation of the force, the electrostatic theorem of Hellmann (1937) and Feynman (1939) is of particular interest in this section, since the theorem provides a simple and pictorial method for the analysis and interpretation of interatomic interactions based on the three-dimensional distribution of the electron density p(r). An important property of the Hellmann-Feyn-man (HF) theorem is that underlying concepts are common to both the exact and approximate electron densities (Epstein et al., 1967, and references therein). The force analysis of diatomic interactions is a useful semiclassical and therefore intuitively clear approach. And this results in the analysis of diatomic interactions via force functions instead of potential ones (Clinton and Hamilton, 1960 Goodisman, 1963). At the same time, in the authors opinion, it serves as a powerful additional instrument to reexamine model diatomic potential functions. 

Extensive research has established the relationship between the extent of distribution of compounds and their physicochemical properties. With this information, Vdss can be quite successfully predicted using in silico models [27-30], In silico prediction of distribution is based on physicochemical properties that relates to passive transmembrane diffusion and tissue binding, and it only predicts Vdss. The other factors that contribute to distribution, such as transporter-mediated distribution, were not taken into account. These algorithms are based on the assumption that all compounds will dissolve in intra- and extracellular tissue water, and the unionized portion will partition into the neutral lipids and neutral phospholipids located within tissue cells. For compounds categorized as a strong base (at least one basic group (p/fa >7), an additional mechanism of electrostatic interaction with tissue acidic phospholipids is incorporated. Acids and weak bases are assumed... 

With the advent of modem fast computers and the development of Monte Carlo and molecular dynamics techniques, it is now possible to deduce from computer simulation experiments the form of the predicted distribution functions based on assumed molecular potential energy functions. This is a development of supreme importance, well advanced for liquids and progressing rapidly for solutions. It is one of the main spearheads of the modem attack on molecular interactions in liquids and solutions. 

However, despite the simplicity of the analyses and the good correlations obtained in these studies, a ligand interaction-based model like the CoMFA method should not be used to model nonlinear effects arising from transport and distribution no reasonable results can be expected for sets of compounds which are no homologous series. Better and theoretically more consistent alternatives would be the addition of suitably weighted log P values to the CoMFA table, the use of lipophilicity similarity matrices (chapter 9.4), or the correlation with log P values in the classical manner, applying either the parabolic or the bilinear model. 

Fig 15.2 Niche-distribution relationships, based on Pulliam (2002). Zeros represent absence, and ones represent presence in niche space (e.g. two ordination axes). (A) The fundamental (Grinnellian) niche (or potential niche, Jackson and Overpeck, 2000 Soberon and Nakamura, 2009) is related to abiotic interactions. (B) The realised niche sensu Hutchinson) is due to the combined influence of abiotic and biotic interactions, where the dashed line represents niche space of a second species. (C) Source-sink dynamics represent one alternative to (A) and (B), where sink populations outside the fundamental (or realised) niche exist due to immigration from source populations. 

The mechanical properties of suspensions containing a narrow size distribution of particles have been studied extensively because they offer the best chances for testing models for flow behavior. The most detailed studies can be found for hard spheres where particles experience only volume exclusion, thermal and hydrodynamic interactions. Based on the models developed for these systems, a great deal can be learned about the behavior of suspensions experiencing longer range repulsions and attractions.
