Molecular structure transformation properties

Contradictory opinions have been referred to in the literature particularly on the nature of the iron-tannate and its interaction with the rusted steel due to the diversity of the material used in different studies. Studies have included the use of tannic acid [7-10], gallic acid [11], oak tannin [12, 13], pine tannin [14] and mimosa tannin [15]. In order to establish the correlation between the ferric-tannate formation and the low inhibition efficiency observed at high pH from the electrochemical studies, phase transformations of pre-rusted steels in the presence of tannins were evaluated. In this work the quantum chemical calculations are conducted to analyse the relationship between the molecular structure and properties of ferric-tannate complex and its inhibitory mechanism. 

In standard quantum-mechanical molecular structure calculations, we normally work with a set of nuclear-centred atomic orbitals Xi< Xi CTOs are a good choice for the if only because of the ease of integral evaluation. Procedures such as HF-LCAO then express the molecular electronic wavefunction in terms of these basis functions and at first sight the resulting HF-LCAO orbitals are delocalized over regions of molecules. It is often thought desirable to have a simple ab initio method that can correlate with chemical concepts such as bonds, lone pairs and inner shells. A theorem due to Fock (1930) enables one to transform the HF-LCAOs into localized orbitals that often have the desired spatial properties. 

Coordinates such as these, which have the symmetry properties of the point group are known as symmetry coordinates. As they transform in the same manner as the IRs when used as basis coordinates, they factor the secular determinant into block-diagonal form. Thus, while normal coordinates most be found to diagonalize the secular determinant, the factorization resulting horn the use of symmetry coordinates often provides considerable simplification of the vibrational problem. Furthermore, symmetry coordinates can be chosen a priori by a simple analysis of the molecular structure.

All fine chemicals are used for making speciality chemicals, either by direct formulation or after chemical/biochemical transformation from intermediates to active substances. Specialty chemicals are solid (e.g., tablets) or liquid (e.g., solutions) mixtures of commodities or fine chemicals and exhibit specific properties. They are sold on the basis of what they can do (e.g., protect the skin against ultraviolet radiation), rather than on what they are (e.g., molecular structure 2-ethyl-hexylmethoxycinnamate). Within specialties, pharmaceuticals and other life science products use the largest amount of fine chemicals. They are described in detail in Sections 11.1-11.3. Uses of fine chemicals outside life sciences are discussed in Section 11.4. 

The trisulphides (and triselenides) of Ti, Zr, Hf, Nb and Ta crystallize in onedimensional structures formed by MSg trigonal prisms that share opposite faces. Metal atoms in these sulphides are formally in the quadrivalent state, and part of the sulphur exists as molecular anions, M S2 S . TaSj shows a metal-insulator transition of the Peierls type at low temperatures (Section 4.9). NbSj adopts a Peierls distorted insulating structure suggesting the possibility of a transformation to a metallic phase at high temperatures, but does not transform completely to the undistorted structure. Electronic properties and structural transitions of these sulphides have been reviewed (Rouxel et al, 1982 Meerschaut, 1982 Rouxel, 1992). 

Recent advances in the development of non-invasive, in situ spectroscopic scanned-probe and microscopy techniques have been applied successfully to study mineral particles in aqueous suspension (Hawthorne, 1988 Hochella and White, 1990). In situ spectroscopic methods often utilise molecular probes that have diagnostic properties sensitive to changes in short-range molecular environments. At the particle-solution interface, the molecular environment around a probe species is perturbed, and the diagnostic properties of the probe, which can be either optical or magnetic, then report back on surface molecular structure. Examples of in situ probe approaches that have been used fruitfully include electron spin resonance (ESR) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spin-probe studies perturbed vibrational probe (Raman and Fourier-transform IR) studies and X-ray absorption (Hawthorne, 1988 Hochella and White, 1990 Charletand Manceau, 1993 Johnston et al., 1993).

Two examples of polyatomic calculations, on H20 and NH3, are outlined and explained in detail. In both cases the analysis starts from an assumed molecular structure of known symmetry. The transformation properties of the atomic orbitals on each atomic centre, under the symmetry operations of the group, are examined next. The atomic orbitals are defined as Is, 2s, 2pxi 2py and 2pz. Nothing can be more explicit - these are the occupied atomic orbitals of a many-electron atom. This configuration violates the exclusion principle9. Although the quantum numbers may not be needed,...
