Emulsifiers. Emulsifiers are used for emulsion polymerization and for compounding additives into polymer latexes. They may be anionics such as sodium soaps, sulfonates, sulfates, and phosphated organic molecules cationics such as quaternary ammonium organics or nonioncs, generally polyethoxylated organic acids and alcohols. Anionics and nonionics are often used together, anionics for more powerful emulsification and nonionics for resistance to acid and hard water. 

Jones et al. [144,214] used direct dynamics with semiempirical electronic wave functions to study electron transfer in cyclic polyene radical cations. Semiempirical methods have the advantage that they are cheap, and so a number of trajectories can be run for up to 50 atoms. Accuracy is of course sacrificed in comparison to CASSCF techniques, but for many organic molecules semiempirical methods are known to perform adequately. 

Podates AcycHc analogues of crown ethers /coronands and cryptands (podands, eg, (11) (30) are also capable of forming inclusion compounds (podates) with cations and uncharged organic molecules, the latter being endowed with a hydrogen bond fiinctionahty. Podates normally are less stable than coronates and cryptates but have favorable kinetics. 

Molecular Interactions. Various polysaccharides readily associate with other substances, including bile acids and cholesterol, proteins, small organic molecules, inorganic salts, and ions. Anionic polysaccharides form salts and chelate complexes with cations some neutral polysaccharides form complexes with inorganic salts and some interactions are stmcture specific. Starch amylose and the linear branches of amylopectin form inclusion complexes with several classes of polar molecules, including fatty acids, glycerides, alcohols, esters, ketones, and iodine/iodide. The absorbed molecule occupies the cavity of the amylose helix, which has the capacity to expand somewhat to accommodate larger molecules. The starch—Hpid complex is important in food systems. Whether similar inclusion complexes can form with any of the dietary fiber components is not known. 

The controlled synthesis of polymers, as opposed to their undesired formation, is an area that has not received much academic interest. Most interest to date has been commercial, and focused on a narrow area the use ofchloroaluminate(III) ionic liquids for cationic polymerization reactions. The lack of publications in the area, together with the lack of detailed and useful synthetic information in the patent literature, places hurdles in front of those with limited loiowledge of ionic liquid technology who wish to employ it for polymerization studies. The expanding interest in ionic liquids as solvents for synthesis, most notably for the synthesis of discrete organic molecules, should stimulate interest in their use for polymer science. 

An aqueous electrolyte solution consists of a variety of charged and uncharged species, e.g. cations, anions, water dipoles, organic molecules, trace impurities, etc. which under equilibrium conditions are randomly oriented so that within the solution there is no net preferentially directed field. However, under the influence of a potential difference, the charge will be transported through the solution by cations and anions that migrate to... 

It is obvious from the graphical presentation in Fig. 7 that the cation [2S ] and the anion [2 ] exist in equilibrium with the covalent hydrocarbon [28-2] as well as the radical [28-] and [2-] as formulated in (35). In other words, the THF solution is a unique system in which one can observe four elemental species of organic compounds, i.e. covalent molecule, cation, anion and radical, at the same time. 

The one-equivalent oxidation of an organic molecule should yield a free radical or radical-cation. Direct or indirect evidence for the intermediacy of these species has been obtained in certain cases. 

Organic Molecules It can be seen from our earlier discussion that the presence of a transition metal ion is not always required for an electrochromic effect. Indeed, many organic molecules can yield colored products as a result of reversible reduction or oxidation. 4,4 -Bipyridinium salts are the best known example of such compounds. These compounds can be prepared, stored, and purchased in colorless dicationic form (bipm +). One electron reduction of the dication leads to the intensely colored radical cation (bipm+ ). Such radical cations exist in equilibrium with their dimers (bipm ). In the case of methyl viologen, the radical cation is blue and the dimer is red. By varying the substient group in the molecule, different colors can be obtained.
