Going direct

Once you are experienced at finding transition structures for a particular class of reactions, you will probably go directly to the technique that has been most reliable for those reactions. Until that time, the checklist above is our best advice for finding a transition structure with the least amount of work for the researcher and the computer. Regardless of experience, it is common to experience quite a bit of trial and error in finding transition structures. Even experienced researchers find that the way they have been regarding a reaction is often much more simplistic than the molecular motions actually involved. 

Flotation. The slurry of ground ore leaving the grinding circuit may be separated from part of the water in thickeners or may go directly to the flotation cells. The latter are rectangular tanks into which air is injected or drawn via impellers. Flotation is based on producing a water-repellent chemical film on the exposed sulfide minerals in the ground ore. The sulfide minerals collect on the surface of the air bubbles and rise to the top of the flotation cell, where they can be removed from the froth. The froth overflows the cells in collector troughs called launders. 

In the presence of 6-iodo-l-phenyl-l-hexyne, the current increases in the cathodic (negative potential going) direction because the hexyne catalyticaHy regenerates the nickel(II) complex. The absence of the nickel(I) complex precludes an anodic wave upon reversal of the sweep direction there is nothing to reduce. If the catalytic process were slow enough it would be possible to recover the anodic wave by increasing the sweep rate to a value so fast that the reduced species (the nickel(I) complex) would be reoxidized before it could react with the hexyne. A quantitative treatment of the data, collected at several sweep rates, could then be used to calculate the rate constant for the catalytic reaction at the electrode surface. Such rate constants may be substantially different from those measured in the bulk of the solution. The chemical and electrochemical reactions involved are... 

This reference system is considered to be more useful than the conventional superscript number method since it enables the reader to see immediately in which year and in which journal (at least for the more common journals whose letter codes soon become familiar) the work cited was published. The reader is thus able to go directly to the original literature reference without having to consult a bibliography. It also provides the author and editor with the considerable advantage of being able to add or delete references up to the final submission of the manuscript without altering the numbering system. 

Sublimation (diffusion) printing is a textile process in which color patterns in dry die crystals are transferred from a release film to the fabric under high heat and pressure. The process has been adapted to plastics. The equipment used is very similar to that used for hot stamping. Under heat and pressure, the dye crystals sublime (go directly to the vapor phase from the solid phase without melting) and the vapor penetrates the plastic product. As a result, the decoration is very durable and wear resistant. It is also cost competitive against other processes such as two-step injection molding or silk screening. 

Subsurface runoff. When precipitation hits the land surface, the vast majority does not go directly into the network of streams and rivers in fact, it may be cycled several times before ever reaching a river and the ocean. Instead, most precipitation that is not intercepted by the vegetation canopy and re-evaporated infiltrates into the soil, where it may reside as soil moisture, percolate down to ground-water, or be transpired by plants. 

The first step, as we have already seen (12-3), actually consists of two steps. The second step is very similar to the first step in electrophilic addition to double bonds (p. 970). There is a great deal of evidence for this mechanism (1) the rate is first order in substrate (2) bromine does not appear in the rate expression at all, ° a fact consistent with a rate-determining first step (3) the reaction rate is the same for bromination, chlorination, and iodination under the same conditions (4) the reaction shows an isotope effect and (5) the rate of the step 2-step 3 sequence has been independently measured (by starting with the enol) and found to be very fast. With basic catalysts the mechanism may be the same as that given above (since bases also catalyze formation of the enol), or the reaction may go directly through the enolate ion without formation of the enol ... 

The previous sections have set the stage for describing the essentials of what happens when a molecule approaches the surface of a metal. The most important features of chemisorption are well captured by the Newns-Anderson model [D.M. Newns, Phys. Reu. 178 (1969) 1123 P.W. Anderson, Phys. Rev. 124 (1961) 41], which we describe in Section 6.4.1. Readers who are not particularly fond of quantum mechanics and its somewhat involved use of mathematics, but merely want to learn the outcome of this model, may skip this section and go directly to Section 6.4.2, where we present a summary in qualitative terms. The same readers may also want to consult Roald Hoffmann s Solids and Surfaces [(1988), VCH, Weinheim], abook we warmly recommend. 

You could first wash the column with methanol, then trichloromethane, then heptane (or methanol, ethyl ethanoate, heptane). You cannot go directly from methanol to heptane because the two are only partly miscible. The column needs to be washed with about 20 dead volumes of each solvent (about 50 cm3 of each solvent for a 25 cm x 4.6 mm column). To get back to CH3OH/H2O 50 50 you would have to go through the sequence of solvents in reverse. If buffer solutions or ion-pairing reagents have been used in the mobile phase, very much longer equilibration times may be needed. 

In the solvent-refined coal pilot plant at Wilsonville, Alabama, the coal slurry is heated to reaction temperature in 3-4 minutes residence time in the preheater. The slurry is then held in the dissolver for an additional 40 minutes before it is filtered to obtain specification solvent-refined coal. By bypassing the dissolver and going directly to the filters, samples of short-contact time (SCT) SRC were produced from Illinois 6 (Monterey) and West Kentucky coals.

This is the point at which, in the previous development, we considered the effect of letting AEr become negligible, but of course in this case we wish to investigate the small-signal/large-noise behavior. We now, therefore, go directly to dividing AA by A (from equation 44-20b) ... 

As examples of the notation for the binary variables, yCH4,/, 2 = 1 means that methane in the feed stream goes to the reactor-separator section labeled No. 2, yHlj, e = 0 means that hydrogen in the feed stream does not go directly to the exit stream, and yco 11 means that carbon monoxide is recycled in the reactor-separator section labeled No. 1. 

E) Normal means 1 atm (760 mm Hg) pressure. Boiling occurs at a temperature at which the substance s vapor pressure becomes equal to the pressure above its surface. On this phase diagram, at 1 atm pressure, there is no intercept on a line separating the liquid phase from the gas phase. In other words, carbon dioxide cannot be liquefied at 1 atm pressure. It is in the liquid form only under very high pressures. At 1.0 atm pressure, solid C02 will sublime — that is, go directly to the gas phase. 

Melting point, subl > 100. Benzoic acid starts to sublime (go directly from a solid to a vapor) over 100 °C, before any crystals left melt at 122.4°C. 

The usual approach is to represent each entire system and each component as an object because it gives something to anchor the parts to. A more difficult decision is whether to make it the faqade for the group of pieces it represents—that is, the means by which all communication with the outside world should go. Sometimes this works well it helps ensure that everything inside the component is consistent. In other cases it is not efficient, any more than insisting that every communication with customers go directly through the president of a company. 

Note that the diagram has three general areas corresponding to the three states of matter solid, liquid, and gas. The line from A to C represents the change in vapor pressure of the solid with temperature for the sublimation (going directly from a solid to a gas without first becoming a liquid) equilibrium. The A to... 

Apply 0.5% bleach solution gently by blotting or using hands to apply over all areas of the skin starting from the neck down. Do not rub solution too vigorously as this may irritate skin. If bleach solution is not available, go directly to Step 8. 

Herman took his final examination in July, 1913. At that time military service was mandatory for all young men, thus his only decision was whether to go directly into the army for his one year s service, or to take his studies at the University and then serve. He, after consultation with his father, enlisted as a private in the elite Alpine infantry unit, the Kaiserschutzen regiment. He was immediately stationed in the mountains of South Tirol. 

Figure 14. Principle for measuring bidirectional fluxes by 13C metabolic flux analysis. In a carbon labeling experiment, 1 13C glucose is provided in the medium, and the culture is grown until a steady state is reached. Glucose can either go directly via the hexose phosphate pool (Glu 6P and Fru 6P) into starch, resulting in labeling hexose units of starch only at the Cj position, or it can be cleaved to triose phosphates (DHAP and GAP), from which hexose phosphates can be resynthesized, which will result in 50% labeling at both the Ci and the C6 position (assuming equilibration of label by scrambling at the level of triose phosphates). From the label in the hexose units of starch, the steady state fluxes at the hexose phosphate branchpoint can be calculated for example, if we observe 75% label at the Ci and 25% at the C6 position, the ratio of vs to V7 must have been 1 to 1. All other fluxes can be derived if two of the fluxes of Vi, V6, and V7 are known (e.g., V2 vi V3 V5 + v6).
