Intermediate between

TbF4 (TbF, -f F, at 3(WC) and Cs,Tbp7 are known and Tb oxides intermediate between Tb, , and TbO, are formed by healing Tb compounds in air. These higher oxides liberate oxygen from water. Tb, , and TbCl (TbCl, plus Tb) have metal-metal bonding. 

One may consider a molecule in the surface region as being in a state intermediate between that in the vapor phase and that in the liquid. Skapski [11] has made the following simplified analysis. Considering only nearest-neighbor interactions, if n, and denote the number of nearest neighbors in the interior of the liquid and the surface region, respectively, then, per molecule... 

Surface heterogeneity may merely be a reflection of different types of chemisorption and chemisorption sites, as in the examples of Figs. XVIII-9 and XVIII-10. The presence of various crystal planes, as in powders, leads to heterogeneous adsorption behavior the effect may vary with particle size, as in the case of O2 on Pd [107]. Heterogeneity may be deliberate many catalysts consist of combinations of active surfaces, such as bimetallic alloys. In this last case, the surface properties may be intermediate between those of the pure metals (but one component may be in surface excess as with any solution) or they may be distinctly different. In this last case, one speaks of various effects ensemble, dilution, ligand, and kinetic (see Ref. 108 for details). 

Bonds with characteristics intermediate between ionic and covalent can also be represented by, for example, two imaginary structures, I and II both of which contrihute to the true structure III. Consider gaseous hydrogen chloride ... 

Carbon dioxide has a linear structure. The simple double-bonded formula, however, does not fully explain the structure since the measured carbon-oxygen bond lengths are equal but intermediate between those expected for a double and a triple bond. A more accurate representation is, therefore, obtained by considering carbon dioxide as a resonance hybrid of the three structures given below ... 

All the carbon-oxygen bonds are found to be of equal length and intermediate between carbon-oxygen single and double bond length. 

Solid cadmium(II) iodide Cdlj has a layer lattice —a structure intermediate between one containing Cd " and P ions and one containing Cdl2 molecules—and this on vaporisation gives linear, covalent I—Cd—I molecules. In solution, iodo-complexes exist, for example... 

We further note that the Langevin equation (which will not be discussed in detail here) is an intermediate between the Newton s equations and the Brownian dynamics. It includes in addition to an inertial part also a friction and a random force term ... 

Physically, this is a difficult procedure Co justify. On planes intermediate between ab and cd Che compositions at corresponding points of each of the three paths will not be the same, so there should be lateral fluxes introduced by these lateral composition gradients--it is not consistent to assume that Che directions of motion are confined to vertical paths, as implied by the diagram. 

If X and Y do not overlap in phase space then the value of the free energy differei calculated using Equation (11.6) will not be very accurate, because we will not adequat sample the phase space of Y when simulating X. This problem arises when the enei difference between the two states is much larger than k T . y - x 3> kgT. How tl can we obtain accurate estimates of the free energy difference under such circumstanc Consider what happens if we introduce a state that is intermediate between X and with a Hamiltonian and a free energy A(l) ... 

In just the proportion to give a sharp-melting eutectic mixture is so remote that this possibility may be neglected. [Occasionally arbitrary mixtures of two substances which (usually) are chemically related may melt fairly sharply at temperatures intermediate between the melting-points of the two components, but this phenomenon is rarely encountered.]... 

The fact that the ratios of rates were much greater in chlorination than in nitration, prompted Dewar to suggest that the actual transition state was intermediate between the Wheland model and the isolated molecule model. He accommodated this variation in the relative rates within his discussion by treating yS as a variable whose value depended on the nature of the reaction. With the notation that y ) is the... 

Because the carbons that are singly bonded m one resonance form are doubly bonded m the other the resonance description is consistent with the observed carbon-carbon bond distances m benzene These distances not only are all identical but also are intermediate between typical single bond and double bond lengths... 

A new classification of hysteresis loops, as recommended in the lUPAC manual, consists of the four types shown in the Figure below. To avoid confusion with the original de Boer classification (p. 117), the characteristic types are now designated HI, H2, H3 and H4 but it is evident that the first three types correspond to types A, E and B, respectively, in the original classification. It will be noted that HI and H4 represent extreme types in the former the adsorption and desorption branches are almost vertical and nearly parallel over an appreciable range of gas uptake, whereas in the latter they are nearly horizontal and parallel over a wide range of relative pressure. Types H2 and H3 may be regarded as intermediate between the two extremes. 

For conditions of intermediate solvent goodness, a shows a dependence on M which is intermediate between the limits described in items (1) and (2) with the corresponding intermediate values for the Mark-Houwink a coefficient. 

The region of the avoided crossing for Nal is the region where the molecule is in a transition state, a state intermediate between those in which the molecule is fully bound or dissociafed. If is fhis region of fhe pofenfial energy curves which had remained inaccessible before investigation wifh femtosecond lasers became possible. 

Gum ghatti is the calcium and magnesium salt of a complex polysaccharide which contains L-arabinose, D-galactose, D-mannose, and D-xylose and D-glucuronic acid (48) and has a molecular weight of approximately 12,000. On dispersion in water, gum ghatti forms viscous solutions of viscosity intermediate between those of gum arabic and gum karaya. These dispersions have emulsification and adhesive properties equivalent to or superior to those described for gum arabic. 

Copoly(amide-imides) comprise an important class of copolyimides that have been developed into a commercial product. Incorporating the amide linkage into the PI makes the polymer more tractable than simple Pis, but involves a loss in thermal stabiUty. However, copoly(amide—imides) still possess quite good thermal stabiUties, intermediate between those of polyamides and Pis (12). They are relatively inexpensive to synthesize. 

Both PSI and PSII are necessary for photosynthesis, but the systems do not operate in the implied temporal sequence. There is also considerable pooling of electrons in intermediates between the two photosystems, and the indicated photoacts seldom occur in unison. The terms PSI and PSII have come to represent two distinct, but interacting reaction centers in photosynthetic membranes (36,37) the two centers are considered in combination with the proteins and electron-transfer processes specific to the separate centers. 

Properties. As prepared, the polymer is not soluble in any known solvents below 200°C and has limited solubiUty in selected aromatics, halogenated aromatics, and heterocycHc Hquids above this temperature. The properties of Ryton staple fibers are in the range of most textile fibers and not in the range of the high tenacity or high modulus fibers such as the aramids. The density of the fiber is 1.37 g/cm which is about the same as polyester. However, its melting temperature of 285°C is intermediate between most common melt spun fibers (230—260°C) and Vectran thermotropic fiber (330°C). PPS fibers have a 7 of 83°C and a crystallinity of about 60%. 

Grade XXP is better than Grade XX in electrical and moisture-resisting properties and more suitable for hot punching. It is intermediate between Grades XP and XXXP in punching and cold flow characteristics. 

Semiconductors. The basic material employed in LEDs is the semiconductor, a soHd which possesses a conductivity intermediate between that of a conductor and an insulator. Unlike conductors, semiconductors and insulators possess an energy gap, E, between two energy bands, the...
