Figure 7.8 Comparison of experimental ln7 for 1 1, 2 1, and 2 2 electrolytes. The symbols indicate the experimental results, with representing HC1 (z+ = 1, z = — 1) representing SrC ( + = 2, r = — 1) and A representing ZnS04 (z+ = 2, z = -2). The lines are the Debye-Huckel predictions, with the solid line giving the prediction for (z+ = 1, z = -1) the dashed line for (z+ = 2, r = -1) and the dashed-dotted line for (z+= 2, z =-2). In (a), In 7- calculated from the limiting law [equation (7.45)] is shown graphed against I 2. In (b). In 7- calculated from the extended form [equation (7.43)] is shown graphed against 7m2.

A thiepin is formally isoelectronic with the 8ic-electron 1,3,5,7-cyclooctatetraene and 1,3,5-cycloheptatrienide ion and, if planar, may actually be antiaromatic. Recently, the question of the antiaromaticity of thiepin has been the subject of interest for both synthetic and theoretical chemists. The apparent instability of the thiepin ring system is in good agreement with theoretical calculations. Dewar and Trinajstic 68) have reported that the thiepin is considered to be weakly antiaromatic (RE = — 1.45 kcal mol-1) based on PPP SCF MO calculations. On the other hand, Hess Jr. and Schaad 69) have found it to be substantially antiaromatic (RE = —0.232 J) by using the Huckel MO method. This result was also supported by a graph-theoretical treatment by Aihara 70). 

Here two C fullerene structures are r ard l as distinct if they have different Huckel theory resonance enei es and/or HOMO-LUMO energy separations. This definition discounts the fact that identical resonance energies and HOMO-LUMO energy separations might conceivably be obtained for two different C fullerene molecular graphs. 

As a generalization of these results, in the case of pericyclic reactions involving an even number of atomic centers which are considered to occur via either Huckel or Mobius transition complexes represented respectively by Huckel and Mobius graphs (44), a closed analytical formula for all eigenvalue correlation diagrams can be derived (2,22,31). 

Instrumentation. A Rank Bros, micro-electrophoresis unit was used in those studies, with a specially made quartz cell having a 6 cm. path length of rectangular inside cross-section (l mm thick, 10 mm deep) in which the Komagata equation (25) predicts zero mobility of the liquid phase in planes located at 0.612 of the distance b from the center plane of the cell to the wall. In electrophoresis experiments 300 to 1200 volts were applied to the cell and mobilities measured in planes a distance h from the center plane. The results were graphed as observed velocity versus (h/b)z as proposed by van Gils (26J, and if the straight lines characteristic of perfect parabolic flow resulted, the electrophoretic mobilities (v ) observed at h/b=0.612 were considered acceptable for calculation of zeta-potential. Zeta-potentials were calculated by the Huckel equation (27) ... 

Eq. (33) is rather simple, but it can be justified using rigorous quantum mechanical analysis 23>. This type of Hamiltonian was first introduced by Huckel 24,35,54) jn the early years of quantum chemistry before Graph Theory was developed. The whole approach is today known as...

Ionic strength, Debye-Huckel calculations and graphs, activity coefficients ... 

It would seem that substitution of E and Q values would allow the computation of the standard redox potential for the couple, However, a problem arises because the calculation of Q requires not only knowledge of the concentrations of the species involved in the cell reaction but also of their activity coefficients. These coefficients are not usually available, so the calculation cannot be directly completed. However, at very low concentrations, the Debye-HUcke limiting law for the coefficients holds. The procedure then is to. substitute the Debye-Hiickel law for the activity coefficients into the specific form of the Nemst equation for the cell under investigation and carefully examine the equation to determine what kind of plot to make of the E[ b ) data so that extrapolation of the plot to zero concentration, where the Debye-Huckel law is valid, gives a plot intercept that equals See Section 7.8 for the details of this procedure and an example for which the relevant graph involves a plot of + (2RT/F) In b against... 

Huckel molecular orbitsd theory and related simple one-electron models axe concerned with the topdogy of conjugated molecules. The characteristic polynomial of the molecular graph functions in this context as the secular determinant. For more details on this topic see the chapter Graph Theory and Molecular Orbitals by Professor N. Trinajstii in this volume. 

The characteristic polynoxmal of the molecular graph and its zeros (i.e., the graph spectrum) are of considerable importance in theoretical chemistry. Their applications in Huckel molecular orbital theory are treated in detail in another chapter of this book. Attempts to use the coefficients of Cg(G) in chemical documentation [27,58] were unsuccessful [20] because of the existence of many Isospectrai graphs. The largest zero of Ch(G) has been proposed as a measure of the extent of branching in the corresponding molecule [59-61].
