Figure 6 Thermodynamic cycle for multi-substate free energy calculation. System A has n substates system B has m. The free energy difference between A and B is related to the substate free energy differences through Eq. (41). A numerical example is shown in the graph (from Ref. 39), where A and B are two isomers of a surface loop of staphylococcal nuclease, related by cis-trans isomerization of proline 117. The cis trans free energy calculation took into account 20 substates for each isomer only the six or seven most stable are included in the plot.

There is an excellent correlation between these data and the gas-phase data, in terms both of the stability order and the energy differences between carbocations. A plot of the gas-phase hydride affinity versus the ionization enthalpy gives a line of slope 1.63 with a correlation coefficient of 0.973. This result is in agreement with the expectation that the gas-phase stability would be somewhat more sensitive to structure than the solution-phase stability. The energy gap between tertiary and secondary ions is about 17kcal/mol in the gas phase and about 9.5 kcal/mole in the SO2CIF solution. 

With these relationships and the appropriate experimental data we can plot reaction coordinate diagrams that are quantitatively useful in displaying the free energy differences between states. Figure 5-9 is an example, the data being drawn from Table 4-3, System 2. For this reversible reaction. 

The graph on the right plots the predicted energy difference by SCRF method and solvent environment, and the graph on the left plots the predicted solvent effect for the various methods and solvents. 

As the plot of AE indicates, the energy difference between the two forms decreases in more polar solvents, and becomes nearly zero in acetonitrile. The left plot illustrates the fact that the IPCM model (at the B3LYP/6-31+G(d) level of theory) does a much better job of reproducing the observed solvent effect than the two Onsager SCRF models. In contrast, the Onsager model at the MP2 level treats the solvated systems more accurately than it does the gas phase system, leading to a poorer value for the solvent effect. ... 

Figure 4.12 A plot of the percentages of two isomers at equilibrium versus the energy difference between them. The curves are calculated using the equation AE - RTIn K.

The activation energy differences of My as well as of and M, and k /kp and kt/kp. were calculated from Arrhenius and Mayo plots, respectively, by linear regression analysis using a computer. Hie AEjjw values given in kcal/mole can be converted to kJ/mole by multiplying with 4.18. 

Fig. 29.—Semilog plot of molecular weight against the reciprocal of the polymerization temperature for isobutylene polymerized in the presence of BF3. Results have been recalculated from the data of Thomas et al. The slope of the line corresponds to an activation energy difference of 4.6 kcal./mole.

Unlike the values of values of electron work function always refer to the work of electron transfer from the metal to its own point of reference. Hence, in this case, the relation established between these two parameters by Eq. (29.1) is disturbed. The condition for electronic equilibrium between two phases is that of equal electrochemical potentials jl of the electrons in them [Eq. (2.5)]. In Eig. 29.1 the energies of the valence-band bottoms (or negative values of the Fermi energies) are plotted downward relative to this common level, in the direction of decreasing energies, while the values of the electron work functions are plotted upward. The difference in energy fevels of the valence-band bottoms (i.e., the difference in chemical potentials of the... 

The effectiveness of these forces differs and, furthermore, they change to a different degree as a function of the interatomic distance. The last-mentioned repulsion force is by far the most effective at short distances, but its range is rather restricted at somewhat bigger distances the other forces dominate. At some definite interatomic distance attractive and repulsive forces are balanced. This equilibrium distance corresponds to the minimum in a graph in which the potential energy is plotted as a function of the atomic distance ( potential curve , cf. Fig. 5.1, p. 42).

Plotted are distributions of estimated free energies using sample sizes (i.e., number of independent simulation runs) of N = 100 simulations (solid lines), as well as N = 1, 000 (long dashed) and N = 10,000 simulations short dashed lines), (a) Exponential estimator, (5.44).

Fig. 6.13. Extrapolation to a free energy estimate based on block averages can best be analyzed in a 1/N plot. In this type of plot the large-A limit is towards the origin, rather than increasing to the right. By fitting the data to an extrapolating estimate of the expansion (see text) an estimate of the free energy difference can be made...

The crystal violet ion has a main absorption band at about 5900 A, and another so close to it as to appear to be a shoulder on the main band. As the temperature is raised the main band shrinks while the shoulder becomes more prominent. This is interpreted as due to the increased conversion of the low energy form, responsible for the main absorption band, into the high energy form, responsible for the shoulder. The energy difference can be calculated by plotting the logarithm of the... 

Similarly, the energy differences of Table 2.2 can be used to compute the first ionization potential of TM atoms for comparison with experiment, as shown in the plot below ... 

Reliable long-term measurements have been performed by Hellebrand et al. (2008). They measured the N20 emissions on different fertilised energy crop plots on a sandy soil over a period of 9 years and found differences not only between the various fertilisation levels, but also between the crop species. In spite of the yearly spread it can be summarised that SRCs cause less N20 than cereals and grass. So the N20 emissions rate on non-fertilised poplar and willow fields is only 17-26% of the rate on conventionally fertilised cereal fields (Fig. 5.5).
