So far possible processes leading to the occurrence of coupled reactions have been indicated. However, with regard to the nature of the reactive intermediates, it has been mentioned only that these, formed either from the actor or from the inductor, are more active than the actor itself. In the case of simpler systems, as was pointed out by Luther and Rutter , the knowledge of the coupling index makes it possible to estimate the quality (oxidation number) of the coupling intermediate. If a and co are the oxidation numbers of the actor before and after the reaction, and x is the oxidation number of the coupling intermediate, and furthermore, if only the acceptor reacts with the intermediate then... 

The qualitative voltammetric behavior of methanol oxidation on Pt is very similar to that of formic acid. The voltammetry for the oxidation of methanol on Pt single crystals shows a clear hysteresis between the positive- and negative-going scans due to the accumulation of the poisoning intermediate at low potentials and its oxidation above 0.7 V (vs. RHE) [Lamy et al., 1982]. Additionally, the reaction is also very sensitive to the surface stmcture. The order in the activity of the different low index planes of Pt follows the same order than that observed for formic acid. Thus, the Pt(l 11) electrode has the lowest catalytic activity and the smallest hysteresis, indicating that both paths of the reaction are slow, whereas the Pt( 100) electrode displays a much higher catalytic activity and a fast poisoning reaction. As before, the activity of the Pt(l 10) electrode depends on the pretreatment of the surface (Fig. 6.17). 

The precursors of the carbazoles are the anthrimides, in particular the 1,1 -dianthraquinonylamines (l,T-dianthrimides). These intermediates were originally used as vat dyes themselves, but very few give bright colours and the vatting process also brings about reduction to 1-aminoanthraquinone. Only one dianthrimide is currently active in the Colour Index [11] this grey vat dye is Cl Vat Black 28 (6.83). l,l -Dianthrimides are easily prepared by heating a 1-aminoanthraquinone with a 1-chloroanthraquinone in nitrobenzene or another solvent in the presence of sodium carbonate and a copper catalyst. 

At 24 °C and 15-60 bar ethylene, [Rh(Me)(0H)(H20)Cn] catalyzed the slow polymerization of ethylene [4], Propylene, methyl acrylate and methyl methacrylate did not react. After 90 days under 60 bar CH2=CH2 (the pressure was held constant throughout) the product was low molecular weight polyethylene with Mw =5100 and a polydispersity index of 1.6. This is certainly not a practical catalyst for ethylene polymerization (TOP 1 in a day), nevertheless the formation and further reactions of the various intermediates can be followed conveniently which may provide ideas for further catalyst design. For example, during such investigations it was established, that only the monohydroxo-monoaqua complex was a catalyst for this reaction, both [Rh(Me)3Cn] and [Rh(Me)(H20)2Cn] were found completely ineffective. The lack of catalytic activity of [Rh(Me)3Cn] is understandable since there is no free coordination site for ethylene. Such a coordination site can be provided by water dissociation from [Rh(Me)(OH)(H20)Cn] and [Rh(Me)(H20)2Cn] and the rate of this exchange is probably the lowest step of the overall reaction.The hydroxy ligand facilitates the dissociation of H2O and this leads to a slow catalysis of ethene polymerization.

Small values of the SAR index indicate discontinuous relationships between the activity and descriptors, large values indicate continuous, and intermediate values indicate heterogeneous relationships that combine continuous and discontinuous elements.
