The HcReynolds abroach, which was based on earlier theoretical considerations proposed by Rohrschneider, is formulated on the assumption that intermolecular forces are additive and their Individual contributions to retention can be evaluated from differences between the retention index values for a series of test solutes measured on the liquid phase to be characterized and squalane at a fixed temperature of 120 C. The test solutes. Table 2.12, were selected to express dominant Intermolecular interactions. HcReynolds suggested that ten solutes were needed for this purpose. This included the original five test solutes proposed by Rohrschneider or higher molecular weight homologs of those test solutes to improve the accuracy of the retention index measurements. The number of test solutes required to adequately characterize the solvent properties of a stationary phase has remained controversial but in conventional practice the first five solutes in Table 2.12, identified by symbols x through s have been the most widely used [6). It was further assumed that for each type of intermolecular interaction, the interaction energy is proportional to a value a, b, c, d, or e, etc., characteristic of each test solute and proportional to its susceptibility for a particular interaction, and to a value x, X, Z, U, s, etc., characteristic of the capacity of the liquid phase...

McReynolds used the retention index of certain solutes to compare different stationary phases and to assess their selectivity compared with a reference liquid phase, squalane. Squalane is considered to be non-polar and any increase in the retention index of the selected solute on the test column compared to squalane may be considered to be due to the greater polarity of that solvent. McReynolds constants have been determined for all stationary phases using a range of solutes of varying polarity (Table 3.8) and may be used to assist in selecting an appropriate stationary phase. 

Estimate the liquid-phase volumetric coefficient of oxygen transfer for a stirred-tank fermentor with a diameter of 1.8 m, containing a viscous non-Newtonian broth, with consistency index K = 0.39, flow behavior index n = 0.74,... 

The investigation of viscosities, electrical conductivities, refractive indexes and densities of binary liquid systems of sulphuric acid with nitromethane, nitrobenzene and 0-, m and p-nitrotoluene was made in order to obtain a clearer picture of the behaviour of these binary mixtures, regarding the stability of the addition compounds formed between the components. The application of these methods of physicochemical analysis to a number of binary systems with sulphuric acid [1, 2, 3] has enabled us to get some idea of the way in which the formation and stability of addition compounds affects the liquid phase properties of these systems. The binary systems of sulphuric acid with mononitrocompounds are particularly suitable for comparison with each other, because of the close similarity of the liquid media in these systems, due to comparable values of dielectric constants and liquid phase properties of the mononitrocompounds. The stability of the addition compounds in these systems in the crystalline phase [4] has... 

The methods of measuring the liquid phase properties were described previously [1], It was observed that heat was evolved during the preparation of all these mixtures. It should be mentioned that the electrical conductivities of the sulphuric acid-nitromethane mixtures were not constant, but were found to increase with time. Reliable data could therefore not be obtained. This is due to the fact that nitromethane reacts with sulphuric acid in dilute solutions, as has been recently discussed by Gillespie and Solomons [6]. All other properties of these mixtures were constant at 25° and measurements were restricted to this temperature. For the other four systems the viscosity, electrical conductivity and density were investigated at two temperatures 25° and 40°), because of the importance of the temperature coefficients of viscosity and electrical conductivity. The refractive indexes were measured only at 25°. The investigation of the liquid phase properties of the system with p-nitro toluene at these temperatures was possible only up to 50 mole % of p-nitrotoluene, i.e. until the solutions became saturated with respect to p-nitrotoluene. The refractive indexes of these solutions were not measured. 

MO studies of aromatic nitration cast doubt on the existence of jt-complexes and electron-transfer complexes in liquid-phase nitrations.14 The enthalpy of protonation of aromatic substrates provides a very good index of substrate reactivity to nitration. Coulomb interaction between electrophile and substituent can be a special factor influencing regioselectivity. A detailed DFT study of the reaction of toluene with the nitronium ion has been reported.15 Calculated IR spectra for the Wheland intermediates suggest a classical SE2 mechanism. MO calculations of cationic localization energies for the interaction of monosubstituted benzenes with the nitronium ion correlate with observed product yields.16... 

The effect of zeolite porosity on the reaction rate was also well demonstrated in liquid-phase oxidation over titanium-containing molecular sieves. Indeed, the remarkable activity in many oxidations with aqueous H2O2 of titanium silicalite (TS-1) discovered by Enichem is claimed to be due to isolation of Ti(IV) active sites in the hydrophobic micropores of silicalite.[42,47,68 69] The hydrophobicity of this molecular sieve allows for the simultaneous adsorption within the micropores of both the hydrophobic substrate and the hydrophilic oxidant. The positive role of hydrophobicity in these oxidations, first demonstrated with titanium microporous glasses,[70] has been confirmed later with a series of titanium silicalites differing by their titanium content or their synthesis procedure.[71] The hydrophobicity index determined by the competitive adsorption of water and n-octane was shown to decrease linearly with the titanium content of the molecular sieve, hence with the content in polar Si-O-Ti bridges in the framework for Si/Al > 40.[71] This index can be correlated with the activity of the TS-1 samples in phenol hydroxylation with aqueous H2C>2.[71] The specific activity of Ti sites of Ti/Al-MOR[72] and BEA[73] molecular sieves in arene hydroxylation and olefin epoxidation, respectively, was also found to increase significantly with the Si/Al ratio and hence with the hydrophobicity of the framework. 

The evaporation flask is now removed from the flash evaporator, and the residue (which may appear to be dry) is extracted under nitrogen or helium with three 25-ml. portions of anhydrous, peroxide-free diethyl ether. The ether extract is poured through a medium sintered-glass frit under an atmosphere of nitrogen or helium. Finally, the ether is removed by pumping on the filtered extract at 0°C. for 30-40 minutes. A pressure of less than 1 mm. is maintained. The colorless liquid product is identified as tri-n-butyltin hydride from its liquid-phase infrared spectrum11 and refractive index, n 1.4715, literature, 1.4711 (extrapolated from f> 1.472612 and 1.47206). The yield is 16.5 g. (0.057 mole, 96%). 

To get the polarity constants for the other stationary phases, each solute in Table 13 was run on squalane and on the liquid phase of interest at 100°C and 20% liquid loading. The retention index I was determined for each analyte, and the difference between the two values on the two phases (A/) was obtained. The A/ summed for all five probes is given as... 

The McReynolds data were standardized and subjected to principal component analysis by several groups of workers who were able to reduce the data to three statistical components. Burns and Hawkes42 further refined the calculations to produce four quasi-theoretical indices that measure dispersion, polarity, acidity, and basicity. Hawkes has described this process in a more recent paper43 in which his group confirmed and refined these calculations with spectroscopic measurements. In addition to justifying their approach, they provide four indices for each of the 26 common liquid phases that were identified earlier as being the most important.36 The dispersion index is calculated from refractive indices, but the other three indices are based at least partially on chromatographic data. 

It should be mentioned that DSC and NMR do not measure the same parameters, and in this way, these techniques are complementary. DSC is a dynamic method, which gives information about the transitions between different phases of lipids, whereas NMR allows quantitation of liquid and solid phases at equilibrium. Indeed, NMR and DSC methods give different values for the solid fat index (SFI) (Walker and Bosin, 1971 Norris and Taylor, 1977) NMR values are much lower than those given by DSC below 20°C. For example, for milk fat at 5°C, DSC and NMR indicate 78.1% and 43.7% solid fat, respectively. The observed difference can be explained by the presence of an amorphous phase which, due to its melting enthalpy, is seen as a solid by the DSC method. Using time-domain NMR, Le Botlan et al. (1999) showed that in milk fat samples, an intermediate component exists between the solid and liquid phases, constituting about 6% of an aged milk fat. 

It has been shown that gas-Hquid chromatographic methods are particularly suitable for a quantitative characterization of the polarity of solvents. In gas-liquid chromatography it is possible to determine the solvent power of the stationary liquid phase very accurately for a large number of substances [98, 99, 259, 260]. Many groups of substances exhibit a certain dependence of their relative retention parameters on the solvation characteristics of the stationary phase or of the separable components. In determining universal gas-chromatographic characteristics, the so-called retention index, I, introduced by Kovats [100], is frequently used. The elution maxima of individual members of the homologous series of n-alkanes (C H2 +2) form the fixed points of the system of retention indices. The retention index is defined by means of Eq. (7-41),...
