Electronic balances selection

The standard modern instrument however is the electronic balance, which provides convenience in weighing coupled with much greater freedom from mechanical failure, and greatly reduced sensitivity to vibration. The operations of selecting and removing weights, smooth release of balance beam and pan... 

The transition metal-catalyzed [2 -i- 2 -i- 2] cyclocotrimerization of two molecules of an alkyne with an alkene has studied to a lesser degree compared to the parent alkyne cyclotrimerization [9], although the resultant cyclohexadiene is a valuable synthetic intermediate (e.g., a diene component for the Diels-Alder reaction). This is because a 2 1 coupling of an alkyne and an alkene is generally difficult to compete with the more facile alkyne cyclotrimerization. The success of the selective coupling depends on the electronic balance between the employed alkyne and alkene components the combinations of an electron-deficient alkene with a neutral alkyne [35] or an electron-deficient alkyne with a neutral alkene [36] were successful in the previous... 

CdS-DMF showed excellent jAotocatalysis for CO2 reduction in DMF under X>400 nm irradiation in the presence of TEA as an electron donor.[4,5] Carbon monoxide (CO) was efficiently and selectively formed along with the evolution of a negligible amount of hydrogen. Diethylamine (DEA) and acetaldehyde were detected while maintaining the electron-balance with the CO formation during the initial stage of the reaction. The quantum yield for the formation of CO, measured after the induction period, was determined to be O1/2CO = 0.098 at X. = 405 nm. 

The assignment of the number of valence electrons for Nb Nb bonding states in Nb60i2 clusters of reduced oxoniobates is often obvious, but occasionally the structures are characterized by an intricate distribution of the excess valence electrons between the different structural units. A discussion of such adjustments of electronic balances will be presented below for selected examples of increasing complexity and discussed with regard to possible conclusions. 

In the reverse WGS reaction, hydrogen promoted both decomposition paths of the formate to H2+C02 and H20+CO, and the decomposition selectivity did not change. Thus, the mechanism of hydrogen promotion is different from that of electron donors in the WGS reaction. COz not only blocks the adsorption sites of H2 but also suppresses the decomposition of the formate intermediate. The rate constant for the steady-state reaction is higher than that obtained from the formate decomposition in vacuum, but it is smaller than that for the formate decomposition under the ambient H2. As a result, the reverse WGS reaction proceeds with a balance of H2 promotion and C02 suppression. 

The design of biocatalytic electrodes for activity toward gaseous substrates, such as dioxygen or hydrogen, requires special consideration. An optimal electrode must balance transport in three different phases, namely, the gaseous phase (the source of substrate), the aqueous phase (where the product water is released and ionic transport takes place), and the solid phase (where electronic transport occurs). Whereas the selectivity of biocatalysts facilitates membraneless cells for implementation in biological systems that provide an ambient electrolyte, gas-diffusion biofuel cells require an electro-...
