SPACEEIL has been used to study polymer dynamics caused by Brownian motion (60). In another computer animation study, a modified ORTREPII program was used to model normal molecular vibrations (70). An energy optimization technique was coupled with graphic molecular representations to produce animations demonstrating the behavior of a system as it approaches configurational equiHbrium (71). In a similar animation study, the dynamic behavior of nonadiabatic transitions in the lithium—hydrogen system was modeled (72).

Recently the synthetic method involving formation of the 1—5 and 3—4 bonds has been extended to the preparation of the completely hydrogenated system of A -substituted isoxazolidines (42). This interesting reaction results from 1,3-dipolar addition of nitrones (41) to olefins. " ... 

This survey presents an overview of the chemistry of metal-hydrogen systems which form hydride phases by the reversible reaction with hydrogen. The discussion then focuses on the AB5 class and, to a lesser extent, the AB2 class of metal hydrides, both of which are of interest for battery applications. 

A short survey of information on formation, structure, and some properties of palladium and nickel hydrides (including the alloys with group IB metals) is necessary before proceeding to the discussion of the catalytic behavior of these hydrides in various reactions of hydrogen on their surface. Knowledge of these metal-hydrogen systems is certainly helpful in the appreciation, whether the effective catalyst studied is a hydride rather than a metal, and in consequence is to be treated in a different way in a discussion of its catalytic activity. 

The nickel-hydrogen system has not been studied in such detail. The isotherm at 25°C is presented in Fig. 3 on the basis of the results obtained by Baranowski and Bochenska (11a). The /3-phase of nickel hydride appears when H/Ni exceeds 0.04 at an equilibrium pressure of 3400 atm. The characteristic H/Ni ratio in the /3-phase then amounts to 0.6. 

Nevertheless it does not change the principle of the mechanism proposed by Scholten and Konvalinka, i.e. the ability to act catalytically of only the superficial palladium centers released from the vicinity of the interstitial hydrogen. Bearing in mind the dynamic character of the equilibrium in a palladium-hydrogen system as a whole is to regard such centers as being mobile in the surface layer of the hydride. 

On the basis of information on the properties of the nickel-hydrogen and nickel-copper-hydrogen systems available in 1966 studies on the catalytic activity of nickel hydride as compared with nickel itself were undertaken. As test reactions the heterogeneous recombination of atomic hydrogen, the para-ortho conversion of hydrogen, and the hydrogenation of ethylene were chosen. 

Indirect methods used can profit by the thermodynamic data of a particular metal-hydrogen system. The determination of the H/Me ratio after complete desorption of hydrogen from a sample, despite an apparent simplicity of the method, gives adequate results only when the bulk metal sample was entirely saturated with hydrogen, and that is a very rare case. The metal catalyst crystallites can be saturated in a nonuniform way, not through their whole thickness. The surface of this polycrystalline sample varies to such extent in its behavior toward interaction with hydrogen that hydride forms only in patches on its surface. A sample surface becomes a mosaique of /3-hydride and a-phase areas (85).

Example of a A s.p. = f(t) relation, manifesting surface potential changes in a nickel-hydrogen system as a function of time and amount of hydrogen introduced onto a surface of a nickel film deposited at liquid nitrogen temperature hydrogen-nickel film interactions were studied by Tompkins-Eberhagen static condenser method at liquid nitrogen temperature.
