INDEX 0—0 bond cleavage

Eisch et al. (24) performed a mechanistic study of the desulfurization of dibenzothiophene by a nickel(0)-bipyridyl complex and reported that a radical anion of the thiophene nucleus was formed and underwent C-S bond cleavage into S and an aromatic radical. In addition, they suggested that the oxidative reaction of the nickel(0)-bipyridyl complex toward dibenzothiophene had the characteristics of stepwise electron transfer rather than nucleophilic attack. However, no correlations occurred between the desulfurization rate and the reaction indexes of Fr(E), Fr(N), and Fr(R), as shown in Table II. The results suggested no evidence for either electron transfer or nucleophilic attack in this study. Moreover, the radical reaction was not...

Examination of the molecular formula C14H2602 reveals that the compound has an index of hydrogen deficiency of 2. Because we are told that the compound is a carboxylic acid, one of these elements of unsaturation must be a carbon-oxygen double bond. The other must be a carbon-carbon double bond because the compound undergoes cleavage on ozonolysis. Examining the products of ozonol-ysis serves to locate the position of the double bond. 

Insulin [IN suh lin] is a small protein consisting of two polypeptide chains that are connected by disulfide bonds. It is synthesized as a precursor protein (pro-insulin) that undergoes proteolytic cleavage to form insulin and peptide C, both of which are secreted by the p-cells of the pancreas.4 [Note Normal individuals secrete less pro-insulin than insulin, whereas NIDDM patients secrete high levels of the prohormone. Since radioimmunoassays do not distinguish between the two insulin types, NIDDM patients may have lower levels of the active hormone than the assay indicates. Thus measurement of circulating C peptide provides a better index of insulin levels.]... 

Koretsky et al. calculated site densities for particular low index faces of six oxides and six silicate minerals and average site densities for cleavage and growth faces, and showed that these methods lead to very different results. Full documentation of depth, length of broken bond and Brown bond strengths of broken bonds for particular types of sites is presented. The ranges of TVs calculated by Koretsky et al. [7] and in their literature data collection (tritium exchange, acid-base titrations, NMR, adsorption and desorption of water at various conditions, and saturation experiments with different adsorbates in solution) for six oxides are listed in Table 5.1. 

Beta amylase is an exoenzyme that degrades amylose chains from the nonreducing end, to liberate maltose. The official notation of this enzyme is (1 — 4)-a-D-glucan maltohydiolase, EC 3.2.1.2. The changes as a function of time in the beta-amylolytic index (a percents of the convernon into maltose) for com starch is shown in Fig. 19. A small increase in the case of dextrinization at lower temperatures was interpreted as the result of cleavage of hydrogen bonds, which makes some r ons of hydrolyzed material more easily accessible to enzymes. ... 

The chemical degradation of a polymer depends on a number of factors including composition and molecular structure, polydispersity index (PDl), crystallinity, surface area, and hydrophilic or hydrophobic characteristics (Tamariz and Rios-Ramirez, 2014). The chemical degradation of a polymer generally occurs via a random cleavage of covalent bonds. As such, the chain order, crystallinity, and mechanical properties of the material are disrupted.
