Non-polarisable

This situation, despite the fact that reliability is increasing, is very undesirable. A considerable effort will be needed to revise the shape of the potential functions such that transferability is greatly enhanced and the number of atom types can be reduced. After all, there is only one type of carbon it has mass 12 and charge 6 and that is all that matters. What is obviously most needed is to incorporate essential many-body interactions in a proper way. In all present non-polarisable force fields many-body interactions are incorporated in an average way into pair-additive terms. In general, errors in one term are compensated by parameter adjustments in other terms, and the resulting force field is only valid for a limited range of environments. 

An ideal reversible cell is characterised by an e.m.f. that remains constant irrespective of the rate of reaction in either direction, i.e. each interface constituting the cell must be so completely non-polarisable that it resists any attempt to change its potential. Although this is impossible to achieve in practice, a number of interfaces approximate to ideality providing the rate of reaction is maintained at a very low value. These reversible electrodes (or half-cells) are used as reference electrodes for determining the potential of a single electrified interface. 

The calomel electrode Hg/HgjClj, KCl approximates to an ideal non-polarisable electrode, whilst the Hg/aqueous electrolyte solution electrode approximates to an ideal polarisable electrode. The electrical behaviour of a metal/solution interface may be regarded as a capacitor and resistor in parallel (Fig. 20.23), and on the basis of this analogy it is possible to distinguish between a completely polarisable and completely non-polarisable...

A typical electrocapillarity system is shown in Figure 2.1(a). The mercury reservoir provides a source of clean mercury to feed a capillary tube the height of mercury in this tube can be varied such that the mass of the Hg column exactly balances the surface tension between the mercury and the capillary walls, see Figure 2.1(b). A voltage V is applied across the mercury in the capillary and a second electrode which is non-polarisable (i.e. the interface will not sustain a change in the potential dropped across it), such as the normal hydrogen electrode, NHE. The potential distribution across the two interfaces is shown in Figure 2.1(c). As can be seen ...

With this idea in mind, the retrosynthetic analysis (Scheme 13.2.8) leads now to unsaturated cw-decalin 28 which could be reduced to 5-methyl-2-cyclohexenone 31. In the synthetic direction there was initially the uncertainty of whether nitrone 27 would cyclise to 26b rather than to the desired adduct 26a (see below Scheme 13.2.9). However, the authors felt that in fact the risk was "less critical in view of the regioselectivity observed in intramolecular N-alkenylazomethinimine additions involving non-polarised olefinic bonds" [11][12]. 

Before the introduction of potentiostats in the early 1960s, the study of electrode processes was done mainly with two-electrode systems in which the functions of the reference and the counter electrode were unified in one simple electrode. Such an electrode is a non-polarisable electrode with a relatively large surface to be sure that it can conduct a certain amount of current due to occurring electrochemical processes. 

A potentiostatic, three-electrode circuit allows the separation of both functions physically for the reference potential, a non-polarisable electrode is used (a calomel or AglAgCl reference electrode), while the electrical-current conducting electrode is an inert metal electrode. With electrochemical, direct-current methods, the effect of this modification is limited to a reduction of the so-called IR-drop (or ohmic-drop), which is caused by... 

Hard acids the acceptor atom is of high positive charge, small size, and does not have easily excited outer electrons, i.e. non polarisable. Examples H+, Na+, Ca2+, high oxidation states of the transition metals. 

If in non-absorbing media the incident light is non-polarised, the reflectance is equal to R = Vl(Rs + Rp)- Both reflectance coefficients rs and rp are equal to the square roots of their corresponding reflectances Rs and Rp. 

Film thickness is determined by the intensity of the reflected light [56,87,88]. This determination can be combined with the measurement of Bruster s angle dB, i.e. the angle at which the white light (non-polarised light) and the reflected light is completely plane-polarised (Fig. 2.14). 

The difference in reactivity arises from the higher maximum covalence of Te. The hexafluoride molecules are octahedral, with six spM hybrid orbitals. The low b.p. are ascribable to the non-polarisable F atoms sheathing the molecules. 

The methods of geoelectrochemical exploration are based on investigation of the polarisation curve (voltammogram), which records the dependence of a current through an electronic conductor on its electrode potential. The electrode potential of an electronic conductor is its potential measured with respect to an auxiliary standard non-polarisable electrode which is immersed in the host ionic conductor in direct contact with the surface of the electronic conductor.
