Dynamics of Solvent and Ion Exchange

First and second shell0 dynamics of solvent molecules MRTs x0 6 in ps. Ratio of attempted and successful exchanges Rex, ion oxygen stretching frequencies in cm-1, and their corresponding force constants in NnT1. 

In the above reaction scheme Solv" ", C-RH+, S represent the solvent cation, cyclohexane cation and hexafluorobenzene (HFB) anion respectively. The spin-dynamics of S and c-RH+ determine the magnetic field effect, since the spin wave-function for the ion pair (S / c-RH+) evolves differently at the different magnetic field strengths. The intensity of recombination fluorescence of the solution is determined by the rate of radiative deactivation of S [reaction (7)], which is accumulated within the simulation program. Although this model is not a complete description of the radiolysis of n-hexane which contains a solution of HFB and cyclohexane, it does however, take into account the most important aspect of the proposed relaxation mechanism, namely cross recombination. A more detailed reaction scheme for the radiolysis of n-dodecane is considered later in this chapter (in Sect. 8.6), which takes into account the excited state chemistry as well as spin-exchange reactions. 

As shown in Fig. 53 for the case of ion-pairing in the eluent and dynamic ligand exchange without expulsion, the addition of organic solvent will increase and decrease the retention factor at relatively low and high hetaeron concentration, and this is shown by points A and B, respectively. The opposite pattern obtains in the case of the dynamic ion-exchange mechanism, of course. At intermediate hetaeron concentrations... 

Several electrolytic-conductivity detectors are produced (Table 3.5). The Laboratory Data Control Model 701 Conducto Monitor (Fig.3.59) may be operated in either a differential mode or an absolute mode. It provides direct readout in units of specific conductance and differences as small as 0.01% in the differential mode between the carrier and the carrier plus solute can be measured. The dynamic range of linearity is 0.01-100,000 pSl 1 /cm. The detector can function in solvents ranging from distilled water to concentrated salt solutions without the necessity of changing the cell. The volume of the cell is 2.5 pi, and the nominal cell constant is 20 cm-1. This type of detector is of use mainly in high-speed ion-exchange chromatography for the detection of ionic species. 

If concentrations of carbenium ions are too low to be observed directly, they must be detected indirectly in kinetic studies of the racemiza-tion of optically active dormant species, ligand exchange and/or detailed studies of the effect of substituents, solvent and salts. Some of the most convincing and elegant work in this area was presented in Chapter 2 using primarily benzhydryl derivatives. As discussed in the next section, correlations between ionization rates and equilibrium constants, rates of solvolysis and rate constants of electrophilic addition can be interpolated and in some cases extrapolated to cationic polymerizations of alkenes to evaluate the reactivities of various active species and the dynamics of their isomerization. 

In conclusion, these gas-phase measurements provide new elues to the role of solvation in ion-moleeule reaetions. For the first time, it is possible to study intrinsie reactivities and the extent to which the properties of gas-phase ion-moleeule reaetions relate to those of the eorresponding reactions in solution. It is clear, however, that gas-phase solvated-ion/moleeule reaetions in which solvent moleeules are transferred into the intermediate elusters by the nucleophile cannot be exaet duplieates of solvated-ion/ molecule reactions in solution in which solvated reactants exchange solvent molecules with the surrounding bulk solvent [743]. For a selection of more recent experimental [772] and theoretical studies of Sn2 reactions in gas phase and solution by classical trajectory simulations [773], molecular dynamics simulations [774, 775], ab initio molecular orbital calculations [776, 777], and density functional theory calculations [778, 779], see the references given. For studies of reactions other than Sn2 ion-molecule processes in the gas phase and in solution, see reviews [780, 781].
