Fig. 30 Main features for thermal oxidation of HR (BK-2220) and EPR rubbers. The data were taken from [94J2]. (a) kinetic parameters, (b) activation energies calculate from different kinetic parameters (black) induction time, (grey) oxidation rate, (white) maximum CL intensity, (fachurated) maximum oxidation time.

The new features of this Table are (i) the values calculated by me (1, 2 and 3) (ii) the recognition that the values quoted apply only over a range of m which depends on the nature of the solvent (iii) the k+p for styrene and EVE in solvents of low polarity are very similar. In my view none of these values and others in the literature are sufficiently reliable for any activation energies calculated from them to afford useful information. I have refrained from attempting a correlation of the rate constants with the dielectric constant of the diluent because in my view even the same cation in each different solvent is a different species, so that the fundamental hypothesis of theories of the Laidler type is not valid. 

Lattice-stability values obtained by electron energy calculations also differed from those obtained by thermochemical routes, but at that time such calculations were still at a relatively rudimentary stage and it was assumed that the two sets of values would eventually be related. However, there is no doubt that lack of agreement in such a fundamental area played a part in delaying a more general acceptance of the CALPHAD methodology.

The error bars represent one standard deviation of the data, which is taken as the experimental uncertainty of the measurement. (Reproduced with permission from [86])... 

The so-called Hartree-Fock (HF) limit is important both conceptually and quantitatively in the quantum mechanical theory of many-body interactions. It is based upon the approximation in which one considers each particle as moving in an effective potential obtained by averaging over the positions of all other particles. The best energy calculated from a wavefunction having this physical significance is called the Hartree-Fock energy and the difference between this and the exact solution of the non-relativistic wave equation is called the correlation energy. 

True activation energies are obtained when the reaction order is zero and probably also when the rate coefficient, k, and adsorption coefficient, Ka, have been separated by treatment of rate data by means of eqn. (3). In the case of the first-order rate equation, the apparent activation energy, calculated from k values [eqn. (5)] by means of the Arrhenius equation, is the difference between the true activation energy and the adsorption enthalpy of the reactant A... 

The activation energies, calculated from both thermal and photo-oxidation, were found to be identical. The difference in the rate constant values was attributed to the difference in the activation entropies. A similar study has also been performed in our group for isothermal crystallization of PEO [72]. 

Equations (16)-(24) are solved on a lattice in an iterative fashion until a convergence criterion (e.g., the difference between free energy calculations from the two successive iterations) is satisfied. 

D. Rowley and H. Steiner, Discussions Faraday Soc., 10,198 (1951). Data are from flow system and show scatter of 20 per cent. Calculated heat of reaction at 800 K is 36.3 Kcal, and there is discrepancy between it and the one calculated from difference in activation energies of forward and reverse reactions, which gives 30 Kcal. 

The activation energies, calculated from the change in enthalpy in going from the reactant to the transition state, are -1-20.3 and -1-15.6 kcal mol" for O-alkylation and C-alkylation, respectively. The overall enthalpy change of the reactions, obtained from the differences in the heat of formation between the reactant and the product, is -1-5.7 and —13.0 kcal mol for O-alkylation and C-alkylation, respectively. These results predict that the product obtained for C-alkylation is the preferred product because (i) the activation barrier is smaller (lower in energy) than that in O-alkylation and (ii) the reaction is exothermic while O-alkylation is an endothermic process. 

The solution used here to avoid such problems is to divide the system into parts, with the metal surface being one part and the hydrogen and oxygen atoms included in the calculation forming one or two other parts. This type of calculation allows each part of the system to have a prescribed charge. It was initially proposed to allow lower approximations to be used for parts of the system allowing this, and it uses a prescription called ONIOM to sum the energy contributions from different levels of theory (Dapprich et ah, 1999). 

Ion-water polarization energies calculated from classical electrostatics represent a large percent of the total pair interaction energy. If this contribution is added to Coulombic and short-range functions, the total energy differs substantially from the ab initio curve. We conclude that the effective ionic charges used in the Coulombic term implicitly include the effect of ion-water polarization.
