ESCA results for double promoted oxides are less definitive than those previously described, but definitely show differences in the Si 2p spectra, hence indicating that again surface changes are occurring due to the irreversible surface chemical reactions. At the same time, these oxide surfaces are being at least partially cleaned of C/O-containing atmospheric contaminants. 

In summation, there is reason to believe, from the ESCA and NMR studies, that the coordination of SnCl2 bestows interesting properties on our complexes however, there is as yet insufficient data to permit definitive conclusions relevant to the homogeneous hydrogenation reaction. 

Core electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis (ESCA) is perhaps the most definitive technique applied to the differentiation between nonclassical carbocations from equilibrating classical species. The time scale of the measured ionization process is of the order of 10 16 s so that definite species are characterized, regardless of (much slower) intra- and intermolecular exchange reactions—for example, hydride shifts, Wagner-Meerwein rearrangements, proton exchange, and so on. 

Methods such as nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis (ESCA), electron spin resonance (ESR), infrared (IR), and laser raman spectroscopy could be used in conjunction with rate studies to define mechanisms. Another alternative would be to use fast kinetic techniques such as pressure-jump relaxation, electric field pulse, or stopped flow (Chapter 4), where chemical kinetics are measured and mechanisms can be definitively established. 

As there is no unambiguous definition of partial atomic charges, a host of physical data was investigated to show the utility of the charge values. The data studied included C-1 s ESCA chemical shifts H-NMR chemical shifts dipole moments... 

From the present study it results that the addition of a peptide block to a vinyl polymer improves the hemocompatibility of the polymer. Nevertheless before reaching a definitive conclusion further studies have to be performed. Vinyl-peptide copolymers exhibit a phase separation between the two blocks and the degree of phase separation so the composition of the film surface may depend upon the nature of the solvent used during the preparation of the films. Therefore it will be necessary to study the influence of the nature of.the solvent on the hemocompatibility of the films and to correlate it with the degree of phase separation determined by X ray diffraction, with the geometrical state of the film surface determined by electron microscopy and with the composition of the film surface determined by ESCA. 

Thus, ESCA becomes another powerful mean to estimate the composition of our block copolymer series in the outermost surface area of the membranes. To get the definite ESCA spectral characteristics with these block copolymer membranes, the technique of the reaction of OsO at unsaturated moiety was employed. OsO has been used as a fixative and stain for electron microscopy to biological samples, and as a specific reagent in organic chemistry for the cis-hydroxylation of olefinic double bonds. Firstly, to check the qualitative and quantitative reaction of OsO with double bonds of PB component in the membranes, infrared spectra of these sample membranes were measured.
