Nonselective lead structures

A reflection coefficient characterizes some particular solute interacting with a specific membrane. In addition, oy depends on the solvent on either side of the membrane — water is the only solvent that we will consider. Two extreme conditions can describe the passage of solutes impermeability, which leads to the maximum value of 1 for the reflection coefficient, and nonselectivity, where ay is 0. A reflection coefficient of zero may describe the movement of a solute across a very coarse barrier (one with large pores) that cannot distinguish or select between solute and solvent molecules also, it may refer to the passage through a membrane of a molecule very similar in size and structure to water. Impermeability describes the limiting case in which water can cross some membrane but the solute cannot. 

Structure promoters can act in various ways. In the aromatization of alkanes on Pt catalysts, nonselective dissociative reaction paths that lead to gas and coke formation can be suppressed by alloying with tin. This is attributed to the ensemble effect, which is also responsible for the action of alkali and alkaline earth metal hydroxides on Rh catalysts in the synthesis of methanol from CO/H2 and the hydroformylation of ethylene. It was found that by means of the ensemble effect the promoters block active sites and thus suppress the dissociation of CO. Both reactions require small surface ensembles. As a result, methanol production and insertion of CO into the al-kene are both positively influenced. 

Detailed light scattering investigations were performed in the case of poly(isoprene-g-styrene) block copolymers in thermodynamically good solvents, isorefractive for different parts of the molecule (32). This technique enabled the determination of the size of the backbone and the branches independently, leading to the conclusion that segregation exists between the backbone and the grafts even in nonselective solvents and the molecule adopts a more or less core-shell structure.
