Local, environment order

In order to obtain more insight into the local environment for the catalysed reaction, we investigated the influence of substituents on the rate of this process in micellar solution and compared this influence to the correspondirg effect in different aqueous and organic solvents. Plots of the logarithms of the rate constants versus the Hammett -value show good linear dependences for all... 

The nature of the conditions of intensive production, however, can increase the risk of diseases and infections which can spread very rapidly and devastate large numbers of animals." Thus it is common practice for producers of poultry to add coccidiostats to their diets and vaccines to their drinking water in order to prevent coccidiosis and other infectious diseases such as bronchitis and Newcastle disease. A similar problem exists for intensively reared fish, where it is necessary to add antibiotics to their diets. A problem with intensively reared fish is that their diet is added directly into the water in which they live thus drugs and other additives in the diet are relatively easily dispersed into the local environment of fish farms, where they can increase bacterial resistance and also cause problems such as algal blooms.

Table 8.53 shows the main features of XAS. The advantages of EXAFS over diffraction methods are that the technique does not depend on long-range order, hence it can always be used to study local environments in amorphous (and crystalline) solids and liquids it is atom specific and can be sensitive to low concentrations of the target atom (about 100 ppm). XAS provides information on interatomic distances, coordination numbers, atom types and structural disorder and oxidation state by inference. Accuracy is 1-2% for interatomic distances, and 10-25 % for coordination numbers. 

Short-range order (local environment around absorber)... 

The activation energy is a measure of how much energy a reaction must acquire from its local environment in order for the reaction to start it is an energetic barrier.

Figure 9. Li MAS NMR spectra of the ordered spinel [Lio.5Zno.5]tet[Lio.5Mni,5]oct04 and LizMnOs. The asterisks indicate the spinning sidebands of the resonances from Li in the octahedral site in the spinel and the 2b site of Lij-MnOs (i.e., the site due to Li in the Mn layers). The local environments for Li in these sites and the Li in the Li layers of LijMnOs are shown. These spectra were acquired at a moderately slow spinning speed of 8.7—8.8 kHz (cf Figure 6) to increase the intensity seen in the spinning sidebands (relative to the isotropic resonance), improving the accuracy of the analysis of the sideband manifolds.
