GCMs

Identification of all groups in the molecule applicable to the particular GCM scheme 

Calculation of property by employing the function associated with the particular 

Consideration of certain extra or correction terms that apply to the particular query molecule, such as group interactions (e.g., the intramolecular neutralization of acidic and basic groups) 

GCM functions may be linear or nonlinear. Often, GCM schemes include extra terms for diverse structural factors. The differences among GCMs with respect to the form of their group-property function (eq. 1.6.1) are considered in the following. 

Linear QCMs For a molecule consisting of m groups, the linear GCM has the following form

The chromatogram can finally be used as the series of bands or zones of components or the components can be eluted successively and then detected by various means (e.g. thermal conductivity, flame ionization, electron capture detectors, or the bands can be examined chemically). If the detection is non-destructive, preparative scale chromatography can separate measurable and useful quantities of components. The final detection stage can be coupled to a mass spectrometer (GCMS) and to a computer for final identification. 

The use of larger particles in the cyclotron, for example carbon, nitrogen or oxygen ions, enabled elements of several units of atomic number beyond uranium to be synthesised. Einsteinium and fermium were obtained by this method and separated by ion-exchange. and indeed first identified by the appearance of their concentration peaks on the elution graph at the places expected for atomic numbers 99 and 100. The concentrations available when this was done were measured not in gcm but in atoms cm. The same elements became available in greater quantity when the first hydrogen bomb was exploded, when they were found in the fission products. Element 101, mendelevium, was made by a-particle bombardment of einsteinium, and nobelium (102) by fusion of curium and the carbon-13 isotope.

The determination of precise physical properties for elemental boron is bedevilled by the twin difficulties of complex polymorphism and contamination by irremovable impurities. Boron is an extremely hard refractory solid of high mp, low density and very low electrical conductivity. Crystalline forms are dark red in transmitted light and powdered forms are black. The most stable ()3-rhombohedral) modification has mp 2092°C (exceeded only by C among the non-metals), bp 4000°C, d 2.35 gcm (a-rhombohedral form 2.45gcm ), A77sublimation 570kJ per mol of B, electrical conductivity at room temperature 1.5 x 10 ohm cm- . 

Al-H distances suggests that 3-centre 2-electron bonding occurs as in the boranes (p. 157). The closest Al - Al distance is 324 pm, which is appreciably shorter than in metallic A1 (340 pm), but there is no direct metal-metal bonding and the density of AIH3 (1.477 gcm ) is markedly less than that for A1 (2.699 gcm ) this is because in A1 metal all 12 nearest neighbours are at 340 pm whereas in AIH3 there are 6 A1 at 324 and 6 at 445 pm. 

Thallium is notably different. TI2O forms as black platelets when TI2CO3 is heated in N2 at 700° (mp 596°, d 10.36 gcm ) it is hygroscopic and gives TlOH with water. Tl" 03 is brown-black (mp 716°, d 10.04gcm ) and can be made by oxidation of aqueous TINO3 with CI2 or Br2 followed by precipitation...
