Interrupted metallic model

Other researchers have considered the behavior of models of metallic strands interrupted by barriers [55]. A.B. Kaiser has applied a modification to this model to include charge carriers either being thermally activated over thin barriers (dominating at high temperatures) or tunneling through the barriers (dominating at low temperatures) [56]. In this case the conductivity may be represented by... 

Thus, we generate a single point of attachment of the olefin to the metal, but we do not interrupt the C-C connectivity. A similar approach has been used for the molecular mechanics modeling of cyclopentadienyl ligands (25-28). 

The proposed model of two-stage process is well supported by the cyclic voltammetric experiments presented in Section III.4. The fast reversible stage, attributed to formation of an electric double layer at the catalyst/gas interface via backspillover of promoters, has been discussed in detail in Section III.5. To explain the slow irreversible pretreatment. This phenomenon is called permanent electrochemical promotion or permanent NEMCA effect. The similarity between the regions of rate increase and decrease indicates that similar mechanisms are involved during current application and interruption, but the enhancement of the open-circuit rate indicates that the electrochemical promotion of the Ir02 catalyst is not reversible. This behavior of an oxide catalyst is different from that of a metal catalyst for which the electrochemical promotion is usually reversible. ... 

Figure 12.7(b) indicates that there was good agreement between the BEM model and the experimental measurement of the current density. The experimental measurements corresponded to measurements at discrete positions from individual metal plates that were separated from each other by an insulation material 0.5 mm in thickness. In comparison, the BEM model was for a continuous electrode with no interruptions due to insulating spacers. The agreement between the BEM model and the experimental measurements...
