Intermolecular forces in solution

The program of calculating the BO-level potentials from Schroedinger level cannot often be carried through with the accuracy required for the intermolecular forces in solution theory. (9.) Fortunately a great deal can be learned through the study of BO-level models in which the N-body potential is pairwise additive (as in Eq. (3)) and in which the pair potentials have very simple forms. (2, 3, 6) Thus for the hard sphere fluid we have, with a=sphere diameter,... 

We shall now discuss briefly the dependence of the heat of mixing on the intermolecular forces in solutions. 

Figure 1 3.1 The major types of intermolecular forces in solutions. Forces are listed in decreasing order of strength (with values in kJ/mol), and an example of each is shown with space-filling models.

Dispersion forces contribute to the solubility of all solutes in all solvents, but they are the principal type of intermolecular force in solutions of nonpolar substances, such as petroleum and gasoline. 

The very large dipole moment of polymers results in strong intermolecular forces in solution. Atactic and isotatic polymers have different dipole moments. The dipole moment of the atactic poly(vinyl isobutyl ether) is 10% lower than that of the isotactic form, showing that the isotactic polymer adopts a more ordered structure with group dipoles tending to align parallel to each other.

We see that the condition of validity of (15.4.12), as well as the deviations from this relation, lead to interesting information about the intermolecular forces in solution. 

A common feature of all clathrates discussed so far is a host lattice, by itself thermodynamically unstable, which is stabilized by inclusion of the second component. The forces binding this component must be similar in nature to the intermolecular forces in liquids. It seems natural, therefore, to regard a clathrate compound as a solid solution of the second component in the (meta-stable) host lattice. 

Polar molecules attract other polar molecules through dipole-dipole intermolecular forces. Polar solutes tend to have higher solubilities in polar solvents than in nonpolar solvents. Which of the following pairs of compounds would be expected to have the higher solubility in hexafluorobenzene, Cf,I... 

Octane and cyclohexane are another liquid pair whose intermolecular interactions are alike. Both have low polarities, so these molecules in the pure liquids are held together by the dispersion forces caused by their polarizable electron clouds. Dispersion forces in solutions of octane and cyclohexane are about the same as in the pure liquids. Again, these two liquids are miscible. 

Hybrid MPC-MD schemes may be constructed where the mesoscopic dynamics of the bath is coupled to the molecular dynamics of solute species without introducing explicit solute-bath intermolecular forces. In such a hybrid scheme, between multiparticle collision events at times x, solute particles propagate by Newton s equations of motion in the absence of solvent forces. In order to couple solute and bath particles, the solute particles are included in the multiparticle collision step [40]. The above equations describe the dynamics provided the interaction potential is replaced by Vj(rJVs) and interactions between solute and bath particles are neglected. This type of hybrid MD-MPC dynamics also satisfies the conservation laws and preserves phase space volumes. Since bath particles can penetrate solute particles, specific structural solute-bath effects cannot be treated by this rule. However, simulations may be more efficient since the solute-solvent forces do not have to be computed.

In general, ideal solutions result when the intermolecular forces between the particles are similar to those in the solvent or solute alone. When the intermolecular forces in the solution are weaker, the molecules tend to escape more readily and produce a positive deviation. If the intermolecular forces in the solution are greater than those in the individual constituents then the particles stay together instead of vaporizing. These solutions show a negative deviation. 

It is especially important to investigate the molecular structure of coordination compounds in the vapor phase because the relatively weak coordination interactions may be considerably influenced by intermolecular interactions in solutions and especially in crystals. It has been shown that the geometrical variations can be correlated with other properties of the molecular complexes ). In particular the structural changes in the F3B N(CH3)3 and CI3B N(CH3)3 molecules ) relative to the respective monomeric species unambiguously indicated boron trichloride to be a stronger acceptor than boron trifluoride. Data on the geometry and force field have also been correlated ). 

The first step in the solution process of a polymeric material by a good solvent is a swelling. Providing the solvent is a good solvent, the intermolecular forces in linear and branched polymers are broken and the polymer dissolves. 

If the intermolecular forces between solute particles and solvent molecules are weaker than the forces between solvent molecules alone, then the solvent molecules are less tightly held in the solution and the vapor pressure is higher than Raoult s law predicts. Conversely, if the intermolecular forces between solute and solvent molecules are stronger than the forces between solvent molecules alone, then the solvent molecules are more tightly held in the solution and the vapor pressure is lower than predicted. Solutions of ionic substances, in particular, often have a vapor pressure significantly lower than predicted, because the ion-dipole forces between dissolved ions and polar water molecules are so strong. 

This volume of Topics in Current Chemistry on supramolecular chirality aims to acquaint the researcher with the principles and applications of noncovalent chiral assemblies or aggregates. The first chapter illustrates the reader the state of the art on the construction of synthetic chiral supramolecular assemblies held together by means of weak intermolecular noncovalent forces in solution except metal-ligand coordination. The next chapter deals with dynamic heli-...
