Ordered second sphere

The chief cases that are the subject of the problems here are zero, first and second order in spheres, slabs and cylinders with sealed flat ends, problems P7.03.03 to P7.03.ll. A summary of calculations of effectiveness is in P7.03.02. The correlations are expressed graphically and either analytically or as empirical curve fits for convenience of use with calculator or computer. A few other cases are touched on L-H type rate equation, conical pores and changes in volume. Nonisothermal reactions are in another section. 

The presence of second-sphere water molecules could be considered also for other metal aqua ions, like iron(III) and oxovanadium(IV) aqua ions, where the reorientational time is found to be longer than expected. However, in the other cases increases much less than for the chromium(III) aqua ion, thus suggesting that second-sphere water molecules are more labile, their lifetime being of the order of the reorientational time. 

The EXAFS results reported for the untreated samples (see Section 8.3.4) led to the conclusion that Zn may form highly ordered inner-sphere sorption complexes with gibbsite surfaces or substitute into an octahedral Al-hydroxide layer of some sort. The use of sequential extraction enabled more concrete conclusions to be made. For the nonextracted soil samples (bulk and coarse), second-shell Al coordination numbers did not exceed four, in fine with the dioctahedral structure of gibbsite sheets (only two out of three metal positions are occupied). Elsewhere, a gradual increase was observed in Al coordination up to six with each extraction step, indicating that Zn is part of a fully occupied, trioctahedral Al-Zn2+ layer and not part of gibbsite or another dioctahedral Al compound.67 While dioctahedral Al-hydroxide layers are... 

In the case of the octahedral robust complexes of cobalt (III) and chro-mium(III), substitution in the first sphere is hindered. This type of complex ion is, therefore, especially suitable for studying association in the second sphere. The hexammine and tris(ethylenediamine) cobalt(III) ions have especially been used for this kind of study. For the association of these ions with anions, such as sulfate and thiosulfate, the ion-pair constant is of the order of magnitude of 10 at 7 = 0, somewhat smaller for Coena" than for Co(NH3)6 21)y but strongly dependent on the ionic strength. Thus Posey and Taube 37) y from spectrophotometric measurements in the ultraviolet, obtain the following expression for the association constant of the ion pair [Co(NH3)6]S04 in solutions with y/Jvarying from 0.04 to 0.3 ... 

S.h.f.s. are observed (208, 662) in F , S, Se , and Te crystals and in all cases are attributable to interaction with first and, in some cases, second sphere coordination of the anion (see Table XXXIII). In ZnS, S splittings are observed, a rare event since the isotope is only in 0.74% natural abundance. The decrease in Ag (g — 2.0023) and in Cr h.f.s. in the series of host lattices ZnS, ZnSe, and ZnTe follows the order of increase in covalency as expected. There are no paramagnetic chemical compounds of Cr+ with 8 =. ... 

Other related kinds of medium-dependent behavior have been observed, such as second-sphere coordination effects (e.g., with crown ethers, cyclodextrins ), and solvatochromic medes have been used as probes of their environment in polymers, micelles, " zeolites, inorganic glasses, and surfaces, etc. They may be used in this way either by virtue of their response to the electric field experienced in a particular environment, or because of specific interactions between the probe and the environment, e.g., hydrogen bonding. Solvatochromism is also a useful predictor of nonlinear optical behavior (see Chapter 9.14), because the same properties which give rise to strong solvatochromism are also necessary for large, second-order, nonlinear optical coefficients (/3). ... 

The concept that a transition metal complex can interact in an orderly manner with neutral molecules or ions to give an outer sphere complex dates back over 100 years to Alfred Werner s original description of coordination chemistry (Figure 1). Werner fonnd the idea, we now call second-sphere coordination, essential to explain snch simple phenomena as (i) the dependence of optical rotation on the nature of the anion and solvent, (ii) the formation of adducts between amines and saturated complexes, and (iii) solvents of crystallization. Indeed, aspects of the second-sphere coordination are known to be important in such diverse areas as the biological activity of siderophores and the function of MRl contrast agents. ... 

For Gd(III) complexes there are several processes that can contribute to this correlation time. Electronic relaxation (l/Fi e) at the Gd(III) ion, rotational diffusion (1/tr) of the complex, and water exchange in and out of die first (l/tn,) or 2nd (1/Xni ) coordination sphere all create a fluctuating field that can serve to relax the hydrogen nucleus. It is die fastest rate (shortest time constant) that determines the extent of relaxation. For water in the second sphere, the relevant correlation time may be the lifetime of diis water, which may be on the order of tens of picoseconds. Water in the inner sphere typically has a much longer residency time (1-10,000 ns), so the relevant correlation time is usually rotational diffusion or electronic relaxation. 

More computational results are provided by Hite [75], including a second order reaction with different stoichiometry, and slab, as well as sphere geometry for the pellet. Overall it can be concluded that the approximate procedure of Hite and Jackson gives results of quite adequate... 

This development has been generalized. Results for zero- and second-order irreversible reactions are shown in Figure 10. Results are given elsewhere (48) for more complex kinetics, nonisothermal reactions, and particle shapes other than spheres. For nonspherical particles, the equivalent spherical radius, three times the particle volume/surface area, can be used for R to a good approximation. 

The present chapter is organized as follows. We focus first on a simple model of a nonuniform associating fluid with spherically symmetric associative forces between species. This model serves us to demonstrate the application of so-called first-order (singlet) and second-order (pair) integral equations for the density profile. Some examples of the solution of these equations for associating fluids in contact with structureless and crystalline solid surfaces are presented. Then we discuss one version of the density functional theory for a model of associating hard spheres. All aforementioned issues are discussed in Sec. II.
