Habid and Malek49 who studied the activity of metal derivatives in the catalyzed esterification of aromatic carboxylic acids with aliphatic glycols found a reaction order of 0.5 relative to the catalyst for Ti(OBu)4, tin(II) oxalate and lead(II) oxide. As we have already mentioned in connection with other examples, it appears that the activation enthalpies of the esterifications carried out in the presence of Ti, Sn and Pb derivatives are very close to those reported by Hartman et al.207,208 for the acid-catalyzed esterification of benzoic and substituted benzoic acids with cyclohexanol. These enthalpies also approach those reported by Matsuzaki and Mitani268 for the esterification of benzoic acids with 1,2-ethanediol in the absence of a catalyst. On the other hand, when activation entropies are considered, a difference exists between the esterification of benzoic acid with 1,2-ethanediol catalyzed by Ti, Sn and Pb derivatives and the non-catalyzed reaction268. Thus, activation enthalpies are nearly the same for metal ion-catalyzed and non-catalyzed reactions whereas the activation entropy of the metal ion-catalyzed reaction is much lower than that of the non-catalyzed reaction. 

In order to extract the maximal energy out of the available foodstuff oxidative phosphorylation should operate at the state of optimal efficiency in vivo. Since a zero as well as an infinite load conductance both lead to a zero efficiency state, obviously there must be a finite value of the load conductance permitting the operation of the energy converter at optimal efficiency. For linear thermodynamic systems like the one given in equations (1) and (2) the theorem of minimal entropy production at steady state constitutes a general evolution criterion as well as a stability criterion.3 Therefore, the value of the load conductance permitting optimal efficiency of oxidative phosphorylation can be calculated by minimizing the entropy production of the system (oxidative phosphorylation with an attached load)... 

After adsorption one side of the protein molecule is oriented towards the sorbent surface, turned away from the aqueous solution. As a consequence, hydrophobic parts of the protein that are buried in the interior of the dissolved molecule may become exposed to the sorbent surface where they are still shielded from contact with water. Because hydrophobic interaction between apolar amino acid residues in the protein s interior support the formation of secondary structures as a-helices and P-sheets, a reduction of this interaction destabilizes such structures. Breakdown of the a-helices and/or P-sheets content is, indeed, expected to occur if peptide units released from these ordered structures can form hydrogen bonds with the sorbent surface. This is the case for polar surfaces such as oxides, e.g. silica and metal oxides, and with sorbent retaining residual water at their surfaces. Then the decrease in ordered secondary structures leads to an increased conformational entropy of the protein. This may favour the protein adsorption process considerably.13 It may be understood that proteins having an intrinsically low structural stability are more prone to undergo adsorption-induced structural changes. 

Equation 6. The entropy of schuetteite was estimated using the entropy of the corresponding lead compound and the entropies of the oxides, chlorides, bromides, iodides, and sulfides of Hg(Il) and Pb(II) as the binary salts in Equation 6. There are insufficient data to estimate the error expected in estimated entropies for mercury compounds by this method. Instead, we will arbitrarily... 

Thermolysis of dimethylphosphine oxide at >770K leads to the elimination of water to give 2-phosphapropene (46).27 Cleavage of the normally stable P=0 bond is explained by reference to an energy hypersurface calculated by MNDO methods. This suggests that there is an entropy-favoured dissipation of the activation energy stored in the...
