Obtaining data choice

Figure 15.3. Once a solution has been obtained, the choice of postprocessing options may be quite varied, with each option requiring different means of accessing the solution data, ranging from one-time access through interactive manipulation of the solution to real-time critical applications, in latter cases requiring recomputation or updating of the solution data.

The obtained data vividly indicated that sodinm 30-tungstopentaphosphate, [NaP-jWjqOjj J, the so-called Preyssler s anion, with high hydrolytic (pH 0-12) and thermal stability is the catalyst of choice. This catalyst catalyzed the synthesis of other coiunarin derivatives la-f and 2 in high yields and good selectivity [95] (Scheme 3.35). 

As mentioned earlier in this section, it is often possible to derive values for some thermodynamic properties by combining measurements made on other properties. However, care may be necessary in making the choice of the most reliable route to obtain data. As examples, consider the methods available for obtaining the standard entropy of a material. Measurements of heat capacity from the lowest temperature up to the temperature of interest (see Chapter 4) can provide values of the standard entropy provided the material satisfies the conditions necessary for the Third Law to be applicable. However, there may sometimes be doubt whether the Third Law is obeyed, and then a different route must be sought. If a suitable chemical equilibrium can be studied over a range of temperatures, then the equilibrium constant of the reaction may be measured. The standard enthalpy of reaction can then be found by means of the Second Law, from the equation ... 

The Damkoehler number requires characteristic time scales for both mixing and reaction. Calculation of the reaction time scale is relatively straightforward, although the necessary data may be difficult to obtain. Many choices for the mixing time have been proposed, and data are available for many common semibatch geometries. 

Another possibility to obtain data of, e.g., physical properties, is a calculation tool. Different applications are available either using basic data like ASPEN PLUS , PPDS2, CHEMPAK, CHEMPRO, etc. to calculate properties of pure substances or using experimental data of pure substances to calculate properties of mixtures. Due to the different fields, many methods and specific tools are available.The first choice, however, should be reliable experimental data in order to get correct simulation results and give reasonable economic predictions. If experimental data are lacking, good estimation methods based on physical laws or derived from known data should be used. Therefore, further knowledge of selection of proper methods is needed.

If there is sufficient flexibility in the choice of model and if the number of parameters is large, it is possible to fit data to within the experimental uncertainties of the measurements. If such a fit is not obtained, there is either a shortcoming of the model, greater random measurement errors than expected, or some systematic error in the measurements. 

When data for a particular component can not be obtained from data banks, the engineer has two choices ... 

The multipole moment of rank n is sometimes called the 2"-pole moment. The first non-zero multipole moment of a molecule is origin independent but the higher-order ones depend on the choice of origin. Quadnipole moments are difficult to measure and experimental data are scarce [17, 18 and 19]. The octopole and hexadecapole moments have been measured only for a few highly syimnetric molecules whose lower multipole moments vanish. Ab initio calculations are probably the most reliable way to obtain quadnipole and higher multipole moments [20, 21 and 22]. 

The Web-based graphical user interface permits a choice from numerous criteria and the performance of rapid searches. This service, based on the chemistry information toolkit CACTVS, provides complex Boolean searches. Flexible substructure searches have also been implemented. Users can conduct 3D pharmacophore queries in up to 25 conformations pre-calculated for each compound. Numerous output formats as well as 2D and 3D visuaHzation options are supplied. It is possible to export search results in various forms and with choices for data contents in the exported files, for structure sets ranging in size from a single compound to the entire database. Additional information and down-loadable files (in various formats) can be obtained from this service. 

The first step in developing a QSPR equation is to compile a list of compounds for which the experimentally determined property is known. Ideally, this list should be very large. Often, thousands of compounds are used in a QSPR study. If there are fewer compounds on the list than parameters to be fitted in the equation, then the curve fit will fail. If the same number exists for both, then an exact fit will be obtained. This exact fit is misleading because it fits the equation to all the anomalies in the data, it does not necessarily reflect all the correct trends necessary for a predictive method. In order to ensure that the method will be predictive, there should ideally be 10 times as many test compounds as fitted parameters. The choice of compounds is also important. For... 

Multidimensional or hyphenated instmments employ two or more analytical instmmental techniques, either sequentially, or in parallel. Hence, one can have multidimensional separations, eg, hplc/gc, identifications, ms/ms, or separations/identifications, such as gc/ms (see CHROMATOGRAPHY Mass spectrometry). The purpose of interfacing two or more analytical instmments is to increase the analytical information while reducing data acquisition time. For example, in tandem-mass spectrometry (ms/ms) (17,18), the first mass spectrometer appHes soft ionization to separate the mixture of choice into molecular ions the second mass spectrometer obtains the mass spectmm of each ion. 

Process Economics. Relative economics of various ceU culture processes depend heavily on the performance of the ceU line in a system and on the cost of raw materials, particularly the medium. Models are usuaUy developed for the various processes using productivity data obtained from smaU-scale experiments (see Pilot AND MiCROPLANTs). Often, for high value products, the process which ensures the shortest time to market may be the process of choice because of other economic criteria. This is especially tme for pharmaceuticals (qv). RehabUity concerns also often outweigh economic considerations in choosing a process for a high value product. 

The results obtained indicate that the ion-exchanger nature, generally not taken into account when developing ISEs for alkylammonium cations, actually influences strongly the selectivity of such ISEs and should be paid attention to when choosing optimal membrane composition. These data will be useful for finding ways to control the ISEs selectivity by rational choice of the membrane composition. 

As before, the data presented here are approximate, intended for the first phase of design. When the choice has narrowed sufficiently, it is important to consult more exhaustive data compilations (see Further Reading) and then to obtain detailed specifications from the supplier of the material you intend to use. Finally, if the component is a critical one, you should conduct your own tests. The properties of ceramics are more variable than those of metals the same material, from two different suppliers, could differ in toughness and strength by a factor of two. 

The information obtained during the background search and from the source inspection will enable selection of the test procedure to be used. The choice will be based on the answers to several questions (1) What are the legal requirements For specific sources there may be only one acceptable method. (2) What range of accuracy is desirable Should the sample be collected by a procedure that is 5% accurate, or should a statistical technique be used on data from eight tests at 10% accuracy Costs of different test methods will certainly be a consideration here. (3) Which sampling and analytical methods are available that will give the required accuracy for the estimated concentration An Orsat gas analyzer with a sensitivity limit of 0.02% would not be chosen to sample carbon monoxide... 

Another rather extensive series of similar data, obtained using CS2 solutions and nujol mulls, has been published by Shindo (Fig. 4). His series include considerable data for jS-substituted compounds, for which the question of a choice of substituent constants does not arise. His data also show considerable scatter but seem to suggest strongly that <7+-values are indicated for + M substituents and normal <7-values for —M substituents. The conclusion is confirmed by the short series of similar data reported by Costa and Blasina and by Shupack and Orchin. The data of the latter authors for the NO frequencies in mws-ethylene pyridine N-oxide dichloroplatinum(II) complexes are also moderately well correlated with <7+-values. 

Solvents and pH may have a marked effect on stereochemistry as was illustrated in Chapter 1, and the generality given there is useful, A further example of the stereochemical influence that may be exerted by proper choice of catalyst and solvent is shown in the hydrogenation of a complex enamine, By proper choice of conditions high yields of either the cis or trans product could be obtained. Selected results are shown below (52) (data used with permission). 

Diketones can be reduced usually in high selectivity to either an intermediate ketol or thediol (72). Selectivity to the ketol depends in large measure on both catalyst and solvent. In cyclohexane solvent, the maximal yield of ketol obtained on partial hydrogenation of biacetyl fell in the order 5% Pd-on-C (99%), 5% Rh-on-C (92%), 5% Pt-on-C (88%), 5% Ru-on-C (63%) from acetylacelone the descending order was 5% Pd-on-C (86%), 5% Rh-on-C (60%), 5% Ru-on-C(35%), 5% Pt-on-C (27%)(56) from 1,4-cyclohexanedione in isopropanol initial selectivity to the ketol fell in the sequence 5% Pd-on-SiO, (96%), 5% Ir-on-C (95%), 5% Ru-on-C (92%), 5% Pt-on-C (67%) (73). Generalizing from these data, it appears palladium is a good first choice to achieve maximal selectivity.
