IS). Natural breakdown of organic matter may also produce organic thiol compounds. Luther et al. (19) demonstrated that there is seasonal variability in the organic thiols of the Delaware marsh. These results have sparked interest in the role of organic thiols in metal and energy cycling in sediments.

Figure 1.1 A schematic diagram of the unified plasmon/fluorophore description. Fluorophores induce surface plasmons in metals and energy is effectively transferred in a non-radiative fashion. This interaction of excited states with surface plasmons leads to a wealth of new fluorescence, chemiluminescence and phosphorescence phenomena and technologies we describe as a Unified Description.

Preventing corrosion is an important way of conserving our natural supplies of metals and energy. The primary means of protection is the application of a coating—most often paint or metal plating—to protect the metal from oxygen and moisture. Chromium and tin are often used to plate steel because they oxidize to form a durable, effective oxide coating.

The calculation of the surface energy of metals has been along two rather different lines. The first has been that of Skapski, outlined in Section III-IB. In its simplest form, the procedure involves simply prorating the surface energy to the energy of vaporization on the basis of the ratio of the number of nearest neighbors for a surface atom to that for an interior atom. The effect is to bypass the theoretical question of the exact calculation of the cohesional forces of a metal and, of course, to ignore the matter of surface distortion. 

Simple metals like alkalis, or ones with only s and p valence electrons, can often be described by a free electron gas model, whereas transition metals and rare earth metals which have d and f valence electrons camiot. Transition metal and rare earth metals do not have energy band structures which resemble free electron models. The fonned bonds from d and f states often have some strong covalent character. This character strongly modulates the free-electron-like bands. 

The dynamics of fast processes such as electron and energy transfers and vibrational and electronic deexcitations can be probed by using short-pulsed lasers. The experimental developments that have made possible the direct probing of molecular dissociation steps and other ultrafast processes in real time (in the femtosecond time range) have, in a few cases, been extended to the study of surface phenomena. For instance, two-photon photoemission has been used to study the dynamics of electrons at interfaces [ ]. Vibrational relaxation times have also been measured for a number of modes such as the 0-Fl stretching m silica and the C-0 stretching in carbon monoxide adsorbed on transition metals [ ]. Pump-probe laser experiments such as these are difficult, but the field is still in its infancy, and much is expected in this direction m the near fiitiire. 

The enthalpy changes AH involved in this equilibrium are (a) the heat of atomisation of the metal, (b) the ionisation energy of the metal and (c) the hydration enthalpy of the metal ion (Chapter 3). 

These wavefunetions and energy levels are sometimes used to model the motion of eleetrons in a eentral metal atom (or ion) whieh is surrounded by six ligands. 

The ZINDO/1 method is the most suitable semi-empirical method in HyperChem for determining structures and energies of molecules with first or second transition row metals.
