Figure 8.7 Schematic diagram of SECM approach measurement of the heterogeneous electron transfer rate between an organic-soluble MPC and an aqueous redox species, IrCl. Electroneutrality was maintained by transfer of perchlorate ions across the interface.28 (Reprinted with permission from D. G. Georganopoulou et al., Nano Lett. 2004, 4, 1763-1767.

Fig. 2. Tentative schematic representation of the effect of organic matter content and rate of soluble Fe supply on the formation of various Fe forms in soils (Schwertmann et al. 1986). 

Figure 6.9 Schematic coordination of water-soluble phosphines with a metal at the water-organic interface.

Fig. 21. Schematic illustration of phase-transfer catalysis using an amine-terminated den-drimer-encapsulated nanoparticle complexed with a fatty acid (present in the organic phase). The fatty acid surrounds the dendrimer, yielding a monodisperse inverted micelle which is soluble in the organic phase. After catalysis, the catalyst can be reclaimed by changing the pH of the aqueous phase...

Polymerization of the monomer in solution undoubtedly takes place but does not contribute significantly, since the monomer concentration is low and propagating radicals would precipitate out of aqueous solution at very small (oligomeric) size. The micelles act as a meeting place for the organic (oil-soluble) monomer and the water-soluble initiator. The micelles are favored as the reaction site because of their high monomer concentration (similar to bulk monomer concentration) compared to the monomer in solution. As polymerization proceeds, the micelles grow by the addition of monomer from the aqueous solution whose concentration is replenished by dissolution of monomer from the monomer droplets. A simplified schematic representation of an emulsion polymerization system is shown in Fig. 4-1. The system consists of three types of particles monomer droplets, inactive micelles in which... 

The reaction of a racemic form with a chiral reagent, for example, a racemic ( ) acid with a (-) base, yields two diastereomeric salts ( + )(-) and (-)(-) with different solubilities. These salts can be separated by fractional crystallization, and then each salt is treated with a strong acid (HCI) which liberates the enantiomeric organic acid. This is shown schematically ... 

Figure 8.8 Schematic representation of the total aqueous solubility of (a) an organic acid, and (b) an organic base as a function of pH. Note that for simplicity the same pKia values and maximum solubilities of the neutral and charged (salt) species have been assumed.

Besides these positive effects, a major disadvantage is introduced a liquid barrier to direct access of gaseous H2 to the catalyst particle The rheological properties of the fluid are also deeply modified, because the viscosity of liquids is many orders of magnitude higher than for gases. Finally, properties such as solubility, molecular diffusivity, etc., of H2 in organic mixtures, difficult to measure and even to estimate, have a vital influence on the mass transport phenomena, which can be schematized as follows ...
