Multicomponent compounds

In Chapters 2 through 5, we considered binary systems including solutions, particle suspensions, and polymers blends. Chapters 6 and 7 discussed the various associated ternary systems and the various interactions in three component systems. Many, indeed most, commercial systems are much more complex. In these commercial compounds, there are more than three components as we have discussed in Chapter 1. 

In this chapter, we discuss multicomponent compounds where the number of ingredients is much greater than three and consider the various interactions that occur. We begin with the simplest of multicomponent systems and gradually build up in complexity.

EXA (exact) search retrieves the input stmcture and its stereoisomers, homopolymers, ions, radicals, and isotopicaHy labeled compounds. EAM (family) search retrieves the same stmctures as EXA, plus multicomponent compounds, copolymers, addition compounds, mixtures, and salts. SSS (substmcture) search uses a range of possible substituents and bonds in the input stmcture. CSS (closed substmcture) search is a more restrictive... 

Several excellent reviews of liquid-phase epitaxy have appeared in the literature over the past 15 years (1-12). The discussion in this chapter will be limited in scope but will supplement the material discussed in previous reviews. In particular, issues that can be analyzed by traditional methods of chemical engineering are addressed for this chemical process. Because the growing solid-liquid interface is near equilibrium, the calculation of multicomponent compound-semiconductor phase diagrams will be emphasized. 

The origin of the active site is based on the arrangement of metals, metal oxides, or multicomponent compounds. The previous section discussed the importance of the presence of elements and compounds, whereas this section indicates the importance of the structures made by these elements. 

Abstract The photochemical properties of transition metal complexes, such as those of iridium(III) or ruthenium(II), can be exploited in various ways to generate charge-separated (CS) states, in relation to the mimicry of the natural photosynthetic reaction centres, or to set multicomponent compounds or assemblies in motion. The first part of the present chapter summarizes the work carried out in our groups (Bologna and Strasbourg) in recent years with iridium(III)-terpy complexes (terpy 2,2,6,6"-terpyridine). The synthesis of multicomponent iridium(III) complexes in reasonable yields has been... 

Coprecipitation is used when close control of composition or high chemical homogeneity is desirable in the formation of multicomponent compounds or solid solutions. 

R. M. Matveevsky [56] discussed the influence of temperature on lubricant additive action in terms of whether the additive functions by an adsorption/desorption mechanism or by a chemical reaction mechanism. If the additive is a blend of two components, one of which acts via adsorption and the other by reaction, and if the critical temperature of desorption is lower than the temperature at which the rate of chemical reaction of the other additive will contribute substantially to the lubrication process, then the critical desorption temperature will control lubricant failure. Thus, if the load induces frictional heating at the rubbing interface so that the conjunction temperature exceeds the critical desorption temperature, this will be the critical failure load. But if the surface exposed by desorption of the first additive reacts with the second additive at the temperature prevailing there, the failure load will be raised. Cameron and his co-workers [48, 57] used these concepts, although not as explicitly proposed by Matveevsky, to explain the behavior of multicomponent compounded lubricants containing dibenzyl disulfide and a commercial calcium petroleum sulfonate as the additives. The failure temperature characteristic of the calcium sulfonate as the sole additive was 468 K (195 C), whereas failure with dibenzyl disulfide was observed at 543 K (270 C). With the two-component additive, incipient failure began at ca. 473-493 K, which seems to mark a balance between desorption of the sulfonate and chemical reaction of the disulfide. As the temperature increased above 493 K, the reactivity of the disulfide became more apparent and the coefficient of friction decreased, until at 543 K, the temperature observed for the failure of the disulfide alone, the rubbing pieces scuffed. 

The constancy of the bond lengths in ternary and multicomponent compounds should distort the tetrahedral coordination. Thus, crystal lattices of ternary compounds formed by crosssubstitutions (e.g, ) exhibit deviations from the sphalerite structure [11]. These de-...

The decomposition and precipitation of new phases may violate the functional or mechanical properties of the material. These types of phenomena are not only of importance in oxide membranes, but also in oxidation of alloys where solid solutions of two or more oxides or multicomponent compounds may be formed in the oxide scales. 

We first consider that the simplest of multicomponent compounds consists of polymer components, which are mutually miscible. The particles of the filler are large, spherical, and interact only hydrodynamically. The oils should dissolve in the miscible polymer blend. The additives do not interact with each other and dissolve in the polymer blend-oil system.
