Molecules configurations

Calculating ensemble or time averages over a relatively small number of points (perhaps a few million) and a limited number of particles (perhaps a few hundred), instead of something which approaches a macroscopic sample of perhaps 10 ° molecules/configurations.

An analysis of the water molecule configurations in hydrates of the amino adds, peptides, carbohydrates, purines, pyrimidines, nucleosides and nucleotides is presented in Ihble 22.1. The key to the 12 different observed configurations is given in Ihble 22.2. The water molecules, which are involved only in two-center bonds constitute 63% of the total number of bonds, the others are donors or acceptors of three-center bonds. Similar proportions are observed in all three different classes of molecules. Thq only possibly significant difference is a trend toward more three-coordinated pyramidal configurations with the nucleosides and nucleotides. 

In this figure, the non-planar pyrocatechin molecule has been represented in stereographic projection, with the hydroxyl groups rotated in a random way by angles 0 and 0, and the two hydrogen atoms deviated at angle a from the plane of the molecule, configuration (1).

Successful separation of alkanes and alkenes has been documented when microporous membranes have been used [79,138]. The physiochemical properties, size, and shape of the molecules will play an important role for the separation, hence critical temperatures and gas molecule configurations should be carefully evaluated for the gases in mixture. On the basis of gas properties and process conditions, the separation may be performed according to selective surface flow or molecular sieving (refer to Section 4.2 on transport). The transport may also be enhanced by having a Ag compound in the membrane. The Ag ion will form a reversible complex with the alkene, and facilitated transport results. Selectivities in the range of 200-300 have been reported for separation of ethene-ethane and propene-propane [138]. Successful separation of alkanes and alkenes will be important for the petrochemical industry. Today the surplus hydrocarbons in the purge gas are usually flared. Membranes which should be suitable for this application are the carbon molecular sieves (see Section 4.3.2) and nanostructured materials (Section 4.3.3). 

Urea-formaldehyde resin solutions are shown to be dominated by physical associations rather than primary chemical bonding. These physical associations, or colloidal dispersions, are directly related to the thermodynamic balance of secondary bond formation between resin and solvent systems. Steric and entripic evaluations of molecule configuration have shown that linear urea-formaldehyde oligomers resemble polypeptides, and have the potential to form both 3-sheets and n-helixs, While the exact configuration of the associations is not known, their presence has been confirmed by x-ray analysis, which shows that urea-formaldehyde resins are crystalline in solid form.
