In S/L systems

In analogy with suspension in S/L systems, for which the lowest, critical stirrer speed at which small particles are no longer to be found on the bottom is important, that stirrer speed at which a phase is completely stirred into the other is of interest in dispersion in L/L systems. 

The comparison of Fe(III) spin transition systems with those of other metal ions reveals the greater variety of chromophores for which spin crossover is observed in iron(III). This is reflected in a generally more diverse coordination environment as well as a far broader range of donor atom sets. For six-coordinate systems the spin crossover generally involves an S=l/2<->S=5/2 change, whereas for five-coordinate materials an intermediate (quartet) spin state is involved in S=l/2<->S=3/2 transitions. There is just one report of such a transition in a six-coordinate system and that is considerably distorted [126]. 

Characteristic of a binary S / L system with an eutectic is the complete miscibility in the L phase, but not in the S phase. Figure 6.8 is the T,x diagram of such a system. The fact that it is not completely miscible...

The physical basis of mass transfer in the solid/liquid (S/L) system is the leveling out of the chemical potentials /z between the two phases. In the present case, the change from A/z to Ac is simple to understand, see Fig. 5.22. The change of the concentration of the solid material cs to its saturation concentration Cs at the interface remains discontinuous cs Cj. 

If the mass or heat transfer in the S/L system is considered from the standpoint of Kolmogorov s theory of isotropic turbulence, it can be expected that both transfer coefficients only depend upon the stirrer power dissipated in the system and the kinematic viscosity of the fluid. In the state of suspension the mass transfer must then be represented in the pi space ... 

In S/L dispersions with /Sp 0, the above concept does not apply with averaged material values, as Kwasniak [312] demonstrated on the basis of the material system polystyrene beads (dp = 0.3 mm)/water, see Fig. 7.10. In the left half of the figure the experimental data are evaluated in the above-discussed way for different... 

Kwasniak [312] investigated the heat transfer behavior in the water/parafifin dispersion with = 5-95% oil in water and established, that none of the evaluation relationships for the S/L systems [neither according to expression (7.40) nor according to expression (7.44)] produced a satisfactory correlation. Thereby fee was calculated according to expression (7.38), but fi was calculated according to expression (6.24) (e - emulsion). 

A similar result was obtained later on using the 1-octene substrate itself as the organic phase (20% v/v), leading to comparable results (70% ee) 11S. Interestingly it also has been shown in the course of this work that, when n-hexadecane (which is not metabolized by the cells) is used as a solvent, racemic epoxide is enantiose-lectively degraded by the co-hydroxylation enzymatic system of P. oleovorans, leading to an enrichment in (S)-l,2-epoxyoctane. 

After a section on industrial methods, a review covering Sn2 and S l routes to alcohols is pre.sented. Primary alcohols may be prepared by Sn2 displacement reactions of HO with appropriate substrates (e.g primary haloalkanes). This approach sometimes works for secondary systems, but elimination often interferes. To a limited extent, both secondary and teniary alcohols may be formed in S l reactions with water as the nucleophile. However, the chemistry described in the remainder of the chapter provides much more versatile and reliable means of synthesizing alcohols.
