Comparison of equations (2.11) and (2.15) reveals q and r to be kikilk i and A 2//r i, respectively. This enables k to be calculated from qjr. In its simplest forms the structure of the reactive intermediate can be viewed as V(OH)Cr " (when n is 1) or as VOCr (when n is 2). Similar species which have been characterized or implied kinetically are CrOCr (ref. 33), Np02Cr (ref. 37), U02Cr (ref. 31), VOV " (ref. 34), U0Pu02 + (ref. 41), Pu02pe + (ref. 42) and FeOFe + (ref. 38). Predictions on the rate of the V(III)- -Cr(lI) system, based upon Marcus theory", have been made by Dulz and Sutin on the assumption that an outer-sphere process applies. The value arrived at by these authors is 60 times lower than the experimental value. 

Adin and Sykes S have re-examined the hydrogen-ion dependence of the V(III)- -Cr(lI) system over a broad range of H concentrations from 0.45 M down to 0.016 M. They confirm the type of acid dependence quoted by Espenson and support the interpretation given by Haim, equations (2.16) to (2.18). At 25 °C and n = 0.5 M, the experimental parameters q and r are 0.50 and 0.10, respectively, so that k = 3.57x 10 l.mole". sec"S and k Jk = 0.1 mole.P. Adin and Sykes S find no evidence for the existence of the more complex hydrogen-ion dependence originally suggested by Sykes in a re-analysis of Espenson s data °. 

In comparison to Ba-Mg-Al polymerizations, the preparation of block copolymers and functionally terminated polymers has not been successful with Ba-Li initiators. Chain transfer to toluene in Ba-Li systems is considered to be responsible for this behavior. 

For these reasons Ca-metal-anode-based primary batteries have been well studied, but the presumed advantages have not yet led to any significant commercial products. Corrosion is significantly higher in Ca system than Li systems, although this problem may be improved by the addition of alternative solutes based on Ba and Sr. Ca-based electrolytes are significantly less conductive than Li electrolytes so sustainable current densities of Ca batteries are less than Li batteries. 

By contrast, in the Li systems, TEPA does not fill completely the pore system (samples 1 and 2). The same is observed for DH and DP-bearing zeolites (samples 3, 14, IS). These less efficiently filled zeolites show the need to incorporate more A1 than the amount provided from the gel composition to stabilize their framework.

Becauie they are isovalent molecules, the similarity of the potential curves for comparable states within the Li and the Na systems is, of course, no surprise. As expected, the potential curves for the Na system are shifted to the right of the corresponding curves in the Li system and each of the Na curves is "fatter" and shallower than its Li counterpart. Consequently, the bound states in the Na system are expected to have more bound vibrational levels which are more closely spaced than their Li counterparts. These expectations are borne out for states such as X Zg, A Zy and B IIy which are well characterized experimentally and for these and other states which are so far best characterized by computations such as our own. 

The NAA method can be divided into NAA (Instrumental NAA) and RNAA (Radiochemical NAA). In the latter, the various neutron-induced products are separated chemically to minimize interferences. There are several comprehensive review papers on INAA published in the literature 1,2,3,4). Briefly, the basic parameters controlling sensitivity for a multi-element determination are neutron flux, irradiation time, delay interval prior to counting, half-life and gamma-ray energy of the induced activity, and eflBciency and resolution of the detector. Table I outlines the irradiation parameters used for each of the two sequential irradiations. The final count occurring 40-50 days after the second irradiation is performed on an anti-coincidence-shielded Ge(Li) system developed recently in our laboratory. 

The rare earth group aliquots were counted on a Ce(Li) system. The flrst count was made after three days. After a decay of 20-30 days. 

Most of the early theoretical studies of Lewis acid catbonyl interactions focused on alkali metal cations such as Li and Na, partly due to the significance of such interactions in biological systems and partly due to computational limitations. In 1973 some of the first calculations on the formaldehyde/Li system were performed. Using both ab initio (SCF-LCAO-MO) and semiempirical (CNDO/2) methods the researchers found that in the ground state the complex possesses Civ symmetry in which Li lies on the axis of the carbonyl C—O bond with an O— Li distance of 1.77 A. 

Alloys and intermetalllcs of Pb and the alkali metals except Er, find interest, especially the Pb-Na system for the industrial synthesis of alkyllead antiknock compounds. The Pb—Li system, e.g., the Lii7Pbg3 eutectic may be used as a liquid breeder in the thermonuclear fission reactor " . The tendency for compound formation with the alkali metals decreases from Li to Cs . 

Let us say a few words on non-selective techniques which have been employed in the study of Li+ systems [93,152]. If this impurity moves off-centre in a alkali halide lattice the pair formed by the positive vacancy and the Li+ ion gives rise to an electric dipole, p. It is well known that free dipoles under an applied electric field, E, tend to place p parallel to E while thermal disorder is opposed to this effect. For this reason, if the average value of p at a given temperature is designated by... 

Thus the damage must be caused by either the x-rays or the secondary electrons and irradiation generated inside the THF films. It was very difficult to separate these factors, but knowledge of the exact mechanism would probably not be of great assistance in understanding the THF/Li system.
