Effect and Intermolecular Forces

In this chapter we have tacitly assumed that the intermolecular forces and therefore the interaction parameters e, r are not altered by isotopic effects. Actually isotopic substitution should alter the electronic energies and therefore the intermolecular forces only by a factor of the order rnfM (m mass of the electron, M that of the nucleus). 

There exists, however, experimental evidence that some effects may play an important role for pol3ratomic molecules in which the diange of A due to isotopic substitution is itself small. 

For example measurements of the vapour pressure of C,H, (Ingold and Wilson [1936]) and of C,Du (Davts and

Examples of the application of correlation analysis to diene and polyene data sets are considered below. Both data sets in which the diene or polyene is directly substituted and those in which a phenylene lies between the substituent and diene or polyene group have been considered. In that best of all possible worlds known only to Voltaire s Dr. Pangloss, all data sets have a sufficient number of substituents and cover a wide enough range of substituent electronic demand, steric effect and intermolecular forces to provide a clear, reliable description of structural effects on the property of interest. In the real world this is not often the case. We will therefore try to demonstrate how the maximum amount of information can be extracted from small data sets. 

Structural effects are of three types Electrical effects, steric effects and intermolecular force effects. Each of these types can be subdivided into various contributions.

The effect of molecular interactions on the distribution coefficient of a solute has already been mentioned in Chapter 1. Molecular interactions are the direct effect of intermolecular forces between the solute and solvent molecules and the nature of these molecular forces will now be discussed in some detail. There are basically four types of molecular forces that can control the distribution coefficient of a solute between two phases. They are chemical forces, ionic forces, polar forces and dispersive forces. Hydrogen bonding is another type of molecular force that has been proposed, but for simplicity in this discussion, hydrogen bonding will be considered as the result of very strong polar forces. These four types of molecular forces that can occur between the solute and the two phases are those that the analyst must modify by choice of the phase system to achieve the necessary separation. Consequently, each type of molecular force enjoins some discussion. 

Electrical effects are the major factor in chemical reactivities and physical properties. Intermolecular forces are usually the major factor in bioactivities. Either electrical effects or intermolecular forces may be the predominant factor in chemical properties. Steric effects only occur when the substituent and the active site are in close proximity to each other and even then rarely account for more than twenty-five percent of the overall substituent effect. 

In this investigation, you will examine the differences between molecules that contain different functional groups. As you have learned, the polarity and hydrogen bonding abilities of each functional group affect how these molecules interact among themselves and with other molecules. You will examine the shape of each molecule and the effects of intermolecular forces in detail to make predictions about properties. 

In the case of the flux of mass, the result is the normal component of pua. But for the flux of momentum and energy, in general the flux density is not the normal component of a vector or tensor function of (t, x), since it will depend on the extended shapes of if and Y. But in the case of short-range forces and slowly varying p, ua, E, it can be shown to have this form with sufficient approximation. Thus one is led to the familiar pressure tensor and heat flow vector Qa, both as functions of (t, x). It is to be emphasized that the general expression of these quantities involves not only expected values of products of momenta (or velocities), but the effect of intermolecular forces. 

Real gases consist of atoms or molecules with intermolecular attractions and repulsions. Attractions have a longer range than repulsions. The compression factor is a measure of the nature and effect of intermolecular forces. 

The reaction of trimethylene biradical was successfully treated by means of dynamics simulations by two groups with different PESs as described above.11 15 The success led one of the groups to extend the study to analyze the collisional and frictional effects in the trimethylene decomposition in an argon bath.16 A mixed QM/MM direct dynamics trajectory method was used with argon as buffer medium. Trimethylene intramolecular potential was treated by AM1-SRP fitted to CASSCF as before, and intermolecular forces were determined from Lennard-Jones 12-6 potential energy functions. 

Most papers dealing with the spectrum of the carbonate ion CO7 neglect to mention the important paper by Decius, Malan and Thompson 42> on the effect of intermolecular forces on molecules in the crystalline state which refer specifically to the out-of-plane bending mode of CO In this paper they derive the dependence of this mode upon the 12C-13C isotopic ratio. Sterzel and Chlorinski 43) also discuss the effect of isotopes upon the CO2" vibrations these two papers should be consulted when assigning C03 -spectra because the modes depend very much upon the t2C-13C ratio. Orville-Thomas 20> has discussed the dependence of the C03 force constants upon the C-O distance, and shows that this leads to a bond intermediate between a single and a double bond. 

The dyeing procedure for paper can be described basically by two processes the penetration of the dye molecule into the capillary spaces of the cellulose and then its adsorption on the surface of the fiber. The bonding forces are due to the effects charge (ionic bonds), precipitation, and intermolecular forces. 

A number of other topics are collected together in Section 5. These include systems containing more than two molecules, the hydrogen bond, the effect of intermolecular forces on the properties of molecules, and a brief survey of recent work on empirical potentials and on van der Waals molecules, which are likely in the future to provide more and more detailed information for the theoretician to interpret. 

It is generally possible to study the effects of changes of state on the intramolecular and intermolecular forces In inorganic and organic compounds by investigating the variations in the vibrational spectra with decreasing temperature as the gas phase changes to the liquid and then to the solid state.

We have already encountered the effects of intermolecular forces in our discussion of precipitates and solubility. Here the intermolecular attractions between water molecules are instrumental in the ion-cage formation that allows some salts to go into aqueous solution. The glycerin molecule shares some similarities with water, but the individual glycerin molecules are still strongly attracted to each other and admit water to their ranks only when there is sufficient provocation. In this demonstration, the provocation occurs in the form of stirring, but no amount of stirring will force the canola oil into the glycerin solution until soap is added. 

From equation (2.30) it can be seen that p E, t) is dependent on cj, the form of P(EIE ) and k E). o is most often taken to be the Lennard-Jones collision frequency i.e., the hard sphere collision frequency which is rectified for the effects of intermolecular forces by the inclusion of a collision integral factor. 

The models most frequently used to describe the concentration dependence of diffusion and permeability coefficients of gases and vapors, including hydrocarbons, are transport model of dual-mode sorption (which is usually used to describe diffusion and permeation in polymer glasses) as well as its various modifications molecular models analyzing the relation of diffusion coefficients to the movement of penetrant molecules and the effect of intermolecular forces on these processes and free volume models describing the relation of diffusion coefficients and fractional free volume of the system. Molecular models and free volume models are commonly used to describe diffusion in rubbery polymers. However, some versions of these models that fall into both classification groups have been used for both mbbery and glassy polymers. These are the models by Pace-Datyner and Duda-Vrentas [7,29,30]. 

The calculations of TSM have recently been extended to include the effects of intermolecular forces by Tasumi and Shimanouchi 35). Estimates for the magnitude of intermolecular force constants for these calculations were obtained from the small splitting observed for higher-frequency modes. It was shown that intermolecular forces split every mode into two components belonging to different symmetry species. The acoustic modes vj and of TSM were also affected by intermolecular forces. For an isolated chain, these correspond to deformation and torsional vibrations respectively, but in crystals, they are mixed. Further, the zero and n phases of the acoustic modes predicted for an isolated chain correspond to zero frequency. In the crystal, non-zero values corresponding to rotary and translational lattice vibrations are obtained. 

The much greater separation between molecules in the gas phase than in the condensed phases dramatically influences the effect of intermolecular forces. The repulsive force, although very strong, is very short-ranged and becomes...
