Ionization barriers, solvent effect

In view of results obtained later,65,66 (see following Section III.A.4) it now appears that the solvent effect is also to weaken (and polarize) the Si-Cl bond and facilitate its ionization. The substantially lower-barrier exchange process in CDC13 and CD2C12 may involve, in addition to the (X, Cl)-twist mechanism, ionization of the Si-Cl bond followed by re-entry of the chloride to a different position.

The reduction potential, Eq, or the closely related electrochemical potential equals the ionization potential of the reduced spede plus solvent effects [25]. On the other hand the ionization potential of a metal surface i.e. the work function, 0, equals the chemical potential plus the surface barrier [25]. Hence the empirical ratios, =65cm and =... 

Ortho-cycloaddition takes place with a olefin which has low ionization potential in comparison to benzene where polar nature of reaction overpowers the symmetry imposed barrier to this reaction. Polar nature of ortho-cyclo-addition is supported by the fact that in case of doner substituted ethylenes, reaction is promoted by polar solvent, but in meta-addition no solvent effect is there, o-and p-photocycloadditions are disallowed to occur as concerted addition between of benzene and Sq of alkene until mixing of charge-transfer states occurs. 

The literature survey in this section suggests that the ideal in vitro permeability assay would have pH 6.0 and 7.4 in the donor wells, with pH 7.4 in the acceptor wells. (Such a two-pH combination could differentiate acids from bases and non-ionizables by the differences between the two Pe values.) Furthermore, the acceptor side would have 3% wt/vol BSA to maintain a sink condition (or some sinkforming equivalent). The donor side may benefit from having a bile acid (i.e., taurocholic or glycocholic, 5-15 mM), to solubilize the most lipophilic sample molecules. The ideal lipid barrier would have a composition similar to those in Table 3.1, with the membrane possessing a substantial negative charge (mainly from PI). Excessive DMSO/other co-solvents would be best avoided, due to their unpredictable effects.
