If the group has a value greater than or equal to 2.5, then the dense gas release is considered continuous. If the group value is less than or equal to 0.6, then the release is considered instantaneous. If the value... 

The increasing CH acidity in the ethynylpyrazole series points to the advantageous inductive nature of this influence. Although the data are rather scarce, some correlation is observed between the ethynyl group values and (T constants of substituents in heterocycles (Fig. 3). 

Where no data exist, one wishes to be able to estimate thermochemical quantities. A simple and convenient method to do that is through the use of the method of group additivity developed by Benson and coworkers15,21 22. The earlier group values are revised here, and new group values calculated to allow extension of the method to sulfites and sulfates. In addition, a method based on the constancy of S—O bond dissociation energies is applied. 

The group contributions are given in Table 6. The group values were used to predict the enthalpy of formation of every compound in Tables 1-5 (except for those containing nitrogen). The estimated values were then compared to the experimental values. The agreement was usually to within about 10 kJ mol f The worst cases were for butyl methyl sulfone, t-butyl methyl sulfone and l-methyl-4-(l-methylethenylsulfonyl)benzene, for which the deviations were 12.4, 14.0 and 12.3 kJ mol-1, respectively. The average deviation was 4.4kJ mol-1. 

Some of the group values in Table 6 are taken directly from Ref. 19, and in some cases were derived using estimated enthalpies of formation of parent compounds. The latter are less reliable than the other values in the table. Similarly, some of the group values derived here (see Section IV) are based on estimates of enthalpies of formation of parent compounds. All such numbers are enclosed in brackets to indicate their greater uncertainty. 

That values of yj and 7r vary with the reaction and the reaction conditions is readily seen from the results reported in Table XLVIII for the rrans-vinylene group. Values of yj for this group range from 1.01 to 3.28. That the value of yj is dependent upon the reaction is no surprise. Charton has shown (251,252) that the yj values may be calculated from the Kirkwood-Westheimer equation in the form... 

There is little information for fluoro-substituted sulfinyl groups. Values of a and ffp for SOCFj based on benzoic acid ionization are 0.63 and 0.69 respectively , compared with values of about 0.52 and 0.49 for SOMe (Table 3). Thus the electronegative fluorine somewhat enhances the electron-attracting influence of the sulfinyl function and makes the order more definitely sulfur lone pair to engage in 7t(pp) conjugation. Values of and ffp for SOCF3 based on anilinium ion dissociation are 0.76 and 1.05 respectively . An increase of 0.13 as between and [Pg.509]

The CHETAH programme used kcal/mole units whereas kJ/mole is used here. Nevertheless, numerous published documents give results using the old units. This is the reason it was decided to provide these group values in both units to be able to make calculations using both systems for comparative purposes. kJ is therefore retained. 

Biochemical analyses of 6-OHDA-injected animals revealed a 93 percent depletion of dopamine. The tissue was assayed using electrochemical detection following separation by high-pressure liquid chromatography (Felice et al. 1978). recorded as ng/mg protein in the nucleus accumbens and compared to control rats with sham lesions (sham=65.5 4.4, lesion=4.9 1.5 t(39)=23.4). A lesion was defined as complete if 75 percent or more of the dopamine was determined to be depleted from the nucleus accumbens compared to mean sham group values.

The key to a controlled molecular weight build-up, which leads to the control of product properties such as glass transition temperature and melt viscosity, is the use of a molar excess of diisopropanolamine as a chain stopper. Thus, as a first step in the synthesis process, the cyclic anhydride is dosed slowly to an excess of amine to accommodate the exothermic reaction and prevent unwanted side reactions such as double acylation of diisopropanolamine. HPLC analysis has shown that the reaction mixture after the exothermic reaction is quite complex. Although the main component is the expected acid-diol, unreacted amine and amine salts are still present and small oligomers already formed. In the absence of any catalyst, a further increase of reaction temperature to 140-180°C leads to a rapid polycondensation. The expected amount of water is distilled (under vacuum, if required) from the hot polymer melt in approximately 2-6 h depending on the anhydride used. At the end of the synthesis the concentration of carboxylic acid groups value reaches the desired low level. 

It should be recognized, however, that although bond and group additivity rules represent useful tools when applicable, they are restricted to molecules built from standard bonds and groups. Consequently, when new molecules are encountered, for which available bond and group values do not apply, their thermochemistry must be determined either experimentally or via computational quantum mechanics. 

Cd represents a double-bonded C atom, C, a triple bonded C-atom, Cg a C atom in a benzene ring, and C, an allenic C atom. By convention, group values for C-(XXH)j will always be taken as those for C-(CXH)j when X is any other polyvalent atom such as Cg, C, Cg, O, and S. Cgp represents a carbon atom in a fused ring system such as naphthalene, anthracene, etc. Cgp-(Cgp >3 represents the group in graphite.
