Ethanol model structure

Fig. 8 Polarization-resolved picosecond pump-probe data for TD 2765 in ethanol (molecular structure shown left). The orientations of the probe beam relative to the pump are perpendicular (red), magic angle (black), and parallel (blue). Data is modeled using (15) to obtain tp = 280 ps, tRo, = 550 ps, and r = 0.35. See [62] for additional details...

X-ray diffraction studies on gramicidin commenced as early as 1949 218-219> and this early work pointed to a helical structure 220). Recent work by Koeppe et al. 221) on gramicidin A crystallised from methanol (/%) and ethanol (.P212121) has shown that the helical channel has a diameter of about 5 A and a length of about 32 A in both cases. The inclusion complexes of gramicidin A with CsSCN and KSCN (P212121) have channels that are wider (6-8 A) and shorter (26 A) than the uncomplexed dimer 221 222). Furthermore there are two cation binding sites per channel situated either 2.5 A from either end of the channel or 2.5 A on each side of its centre 222) Unfortunately these data do not permit a choice to be made from the helical models (i)—(iv) and it is not certain if the helical canals studied are the same as those involved in membrane ion transport. 

The structural formulas and ball-and-stick models of water and ethanol are given in Figure 2-1. You can see that the general shape and bond angles are similar around the oxygen atom. 

From a structural point of view the OPLS results for liquids have also shown to be in accord with available experimental data, including vibrational spectroscopy and diffraction data on, for Instance, formamide, dimethylformamide, methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, 2-methyl-2-propanol, methane, ethane and neopentane. The hydrogen bonding in alcohols, thiols and amides is well represented by the OPLS potential functions. The average root-mean-square deviation from the X-ray structures of the crystals for four cyclic hexapeptides and a cyclic pentapeptide optimized with the OPLS/AMBER model, was only 0.17 A for the atomic positions and 3% for the unit cell volumes.

From the above experimental results, it can be seen that the both PtSn catalysts have a similar particle size leading to the same physical surface area. However, the ESAs of these catalysts are significantly different, as indicated by the CV curves. The large difference between ESA values for the two catalysts could only be explained by differences in detailed nanostructure as a consequence of differences in the preparation of the respective catalyst. On the basis of the preparation process and the CV measurement results, a model has been developed for the structures of these PtSn catalysts as shown in Fig. 15.10. The PtSn-1 catalyst is believed to have a Sn core/Pt shell nanostructure while PtSn-2 is believed to have a Pt core/Sn shell structure. Both electrochemical results and fuel cell performance indicate that PtSn-1 catalyst significantly enhances ethanol electrooxidation. Our previous research found that an important difference between PtRu and PtSn catalysts is that the addition of Ru reduces the lattice parameter of Pt, while Sn dilates the lattice parameter. The reduced Pt lattice parameter resulting from Ru addition seems to be unfavorable for ethanol adsorption and degrades the DEFC performance. In this new work on PtSn catalysts with more... 

As was shown, the planar conductivity of the film can be increased by immersing the substratum with the film in the ethanol-water (1 1) solution of LiNOs (0.1 mol/liter) for a short time. Then the film should be washed in water and allowed to dry. After such treatment the conductivity becomes 500 times greater and reaches the value 6x10 (Q/cm)". This increase may be due to the fact that in considering the second general model of the structure of this polymer it could be assumed that some additional quantity of Li cations might be absorbed into the ionic sphere of SO- groups, so that the total amount of Li in the electrolytic layers increases, and the conductivity then also increases.
