Although the understanding of IPTC is still limited in comparison to that of normal PTC, it is clear that this method is apt to effect organic reactions in water. As discussed in the introduction simple pyridine derivatives were introduced mainly in connection to kinetic and mechanism studies, but more recently, it was shown that the use of host compounds such as cyclodextrins and water-soluble calix[n]arenas,offers the opportunity to combine IPTC, molecular recognition, and transition metal catalysis, with additional economic and environ-metal advantages deriving from the use of water as a bulk solvent. 

An advantage of the use of ceramics over the use of glass as an insulator in X-ray tubes is the larger freedom in design due to better stability and more reliable quality of the ceramics. Therefore, typical markets for metal-ceramic tubes are applications where only a relatively low amount of tubes, but in special designs, are used. 

Most of the advantages of MCB technology can be used to make small anode-grounded metal-ceramic X-ray tubes as well. These could be water- or air-cooled and reach power ranges up to 1 kW at voltages up to lOOkV. 

On metals in particular, the dependence of the radiation absorption by surface species on the orientation of the electrical vector can be fiilly exploited by using one of the several polarization techniques developed over the past few decades [27, 28, 29 and 30], The idea behind all those approaches is to acquire the p-to-s polarized light intensity ratio during each single IR interferometer scan since the adsorbate only absorbs the p-polarized component, that spectral ratio provides absorbance infonnation for the surface species exclusively. Polarization-modulation mediods provide the added advantage of being able to discriminate between the signals due to adsorbates and those from gas or liquid molecules. Thanks to this, RAIRS data on species chemisorbed on metals have been successfidly acquired in situ under catalytic conditions [31], and even in electrochemical cells [32]. 

The polarization dependence of the photon absorbance in metal surface systems also brings about the so-called surface selection rule, which states that only vibrational modes with dynamic moments having components perpendicular to the surface plane can be detected by RAIRS [22, 23 and 24]. This rule may in some instances limit the usefidness of the reflection tecluiique for adsorbate identification because of the reduction in the number of modes visible in the IR spectra, but more often becomes an advantage thanks to the simplification of the data. Furthenuore, the relative intensities of different vibrational modes can be used to estimate the orientation of the surface moieties. This has been particularly useful in the study of self-... 

In the final section, we will survey the different theoretical approaches for the treatment of adsorbed molecules on surfaces, taking the chemisorption on transition metal surfaces, a particularly difficult to treat yet extremely relevant surface problem [1], as an example. Wliile solid state approaches such as DFT are often used, hybrid methods are also advantageous. Of particular importance in this area is the idea of embedding, where a small cluster of surface atoms around the adsorbate is treated with more care than the surroundmg region. The advantages and disadvantages of the approaches are discussed. 

The general characteristics of all these elements generally preclude their extraction by any method involving aqueous solution. For the lighter, less volatile metals (Li, Na, Be, Mg, Ca) electrolysis of a fused salt (usually the chloride), or of a mixture of salts, is used. The heavier, more volatile metals in each group can all be similarly obtained by electrolysis, but it is usually more convenient to take advantage of their volatility and obtain them from their oxides or chlorides by displacement, i.e. by general reactions such as... 

This method, due to Middleton (Analyst, 1935, 6o, 154), has the advantage over Lassaigne s method (pp. 321-326) that the use of metallic sodium is avoided it has the disadvantage, however, that the reagents are not so readily obtained pure, and the method requires rather more time. 

The beaker and thermometer should be removed from the metal bath before the latter solidifies. Metal baths have the advantage that they do not smoke or catch fire they are, however, solid at the ordinary temperature and are usually too expensive for general use. 

Stirrers are usually made of glass, but those of monel metal, stainless steel or Teflon (a polyfluoroethylene) also find application in the labora tory. An important advantage of a stirrer with a Teflon blade is that it is... 

The high-pressure water supply service is employed for the operation of the ordinary filter pump, which finds so many applications in the laboratory. A typical all metal filter pump is illustrated in Fig. 11, 21, 1. It is an advantage to have a non-return valve fitted in the side arm to prevent sucking back if the water is turned off or if the water pressure is suddenly reduced. Theoretically, an efficient filter pump should reduce the pressure in a system to a value equal to the vapour pressure of the water at the temperature of the water of the supply mains. In practice this pressure is rarely attained (it is usually 4 10 mm. higher) because of the leakage of air into the apparatus and the higher temperature of the laboratory. The vapour pressures of water at 5°, 10°, 15°, 20° and 25° are respectively 6-5, 9-2,12-8, 17 5 and 23 8 mm. respectively. It is evident that the vacuum obtained with a water pump will vary considerably with the temperature of the water and therefore with the season of the year in any case a really good vacuum cannot be produced by a filter pump. 

The Peterson reaction has two more advantages over the Wittig reaction 1. it is sometimes less vulnerable to sterical hindrance, and 2. groups, which are susceptible to nucleophilic substitution, are not attacked by silylated carbanions. The introduction of a methylene group into a sterically hindered ketone (R.K. Boeckman, Jr., 1973) and the syntheses of olefins with sulfur, selenium, silicon, or tin substituents (D. Seebach, 1973 B.T. Grdbel, 1974, 1977) illustrate useful applications. The reaction is, however, more limited and time consuming than the Wittig reaction, since metallated silicon derivatives are difficult to synthesize and their reactions are rarely stereoselective (T.H. Chan, 1974 ... 

Of course. Pd is a noble metal and expensive, but it is much less expensive than Rh, Pt. and Os. Also, the toxicity of Pd has posed no problem so far. The fact that a number of industrial processes (more than ten at least) based on Pd-catalyzed reactions have been developed and are now operated reflects these advantages of using Pd catalysts commercially[l]. 

Its advantages include impermeability to air, excellent adhesion to metal, and good resistance to oils, weathering, and low temperature. 

The dependence of chiral recognition on the formation of the diastereomeric complex imposes constraints on the proximity of the metal binding sites, usually either an hydroxy or an amine a to a carboxyHc acid, in the analyte. Principal advantages of this technique include the abiHty to assign configuration in the absence of standards, enantioresolve non aromatic analytes, use aqueous mobile phases, acquire a stationary phase with the opposite enantioselectivity, and predict the likelihood of successful chiral resolution for a given analyte based on a weU-understood chiral recognition mechanism.
