An ion-selective electrode based on a glass membrane in which the potential develops from an ion-exchange reaction on the membrane s surface. 

The equilibrium constant for this ion-exchange reaction, which is also called the selectivity coefficient, is...

R indicates the organic portion of the resin and SO3 is the immobile portion of the ion active group. Two resin sites are needed for nickel ions with a plus 2 valence (Ni ). Trivalent ferric ions would require three resin sites. As shown, the ion exchange reaction is reversible. The degree the reaction proceeds to the right will depend on the resins preference, or selectivity, for nickel ions compared with its preference for hydrogen ions. The selectivity of a resin for a given ion is measured by the selectivity coefficient. K. which in its simplest form for the reaction... 

An extensive study of the A" -3-keto steroid system reveals a number of selective exchange reactions. For example, under controlled conditions in the presence of a strong acid catalyst such as deuterium chloride, it is... 

Selectivity in formation of protective groups may also be achieved by a proper choice of reaction conditions and catalyst. Thus formation of the 3-monothioketal from 3,6-diketones is achieved by dilution of the ethane-dithiol-boron trifluoride reaction mixture with acetic acid. 3-Monocyanohydrins are obtained in good yield from 3,20-diketo-(5a)-pregnanes by diluting the exchange reaction with ethanol. Similarly, dilution of the... 

The use of acetone cyanohydrin (in an exchange reaction) instead of alcoholic hydrogen cyanide affords even higher yields of 17-cyanohydrins and the former reagent has the added advantage of reacting quantitatively and essentially selectively with the 17-ketone of androst-4-ene-3,17-dione. Sodium hydroxide promotes the exchange reaction in some cases. 

In this Section, possible factors influencing the selectivity other than shape similarity and shape-specific weak interactions (Sect. 2.4) are discussed. These mainly include intermolecular association, exchange reactions, and hydrophobic interaction. In connection with intermolecular association and crystalline 1 1 complex formation (Sect. 2.3), tetrameric intermediates are also discussed. 

Similar films are obtained from powdered molecular sieves loaded with organic molecules Zeolite Y microparticles embedded into a polystyrene film and loaded with appropriately sized transition metal complexes allow selective electron exchange reactions between trapped and mobile species in the film... 

Ion exchange (IX) is a very useful technique for the concentration, the purification and the separation of chemically similar metallic elements present in an aqueous solution. In its most popular form of application, the metal-bearing aqueous solution is passed through a bed of solid organic resin in a particulate form wherein the sorption of the metal ions on the resin takes place by ion-exchange reactions. The pregnant resin is washed free of the entrapped feed solution and then brought into contact with an eluant of suitable composition and volume so that the resin releases the metal ions back to the eluant. The ratio of the volume of the feed and that of the eluant determines the extent of concentration that can be achieved. Purification and separation are achievable if the resin is selective or specific with respect to the metal ions of interest in comparison to impurity ions. 

The selectivity of an ion-exchange resin means its ability to discriminate among different ionic species. A cation-exchange reaction can be represented by an equation of the form... 

Reaction selectivity of the parent ortho-QM has also been explored with a variety of amino acid and related species.30 In these examples, the rates of alkylation and adduct yields were quantified over a range of temperatures and pH values. The initial QM3 was generated by exposing a quaternary benzyl amine (QMP3) to heat or ultraviolet radiation (Scheme 9.10). Reversible generation of QM3 was implied by subsequent exchange of nucleophiles at the benzylic position under alternative photochemical or thermal activation.30 Report of this work also included the first suggestion that the reversible nature of QM alkylation could be used for controlled delivery of a potent electrophile.
