Orientation molecular, partition

The properties of these systems depend strongly on the interfacial potentials created at the interface. They arise from oriented molecular dipoles, from ionization of the surfactant hydrophylic groups, and from the partition and adsorption of ions presented in the environment. 

Lipophilicity is a molecular property experimentally determined as the logarithm of the partition coefficient (log P) of a solute between two non-miscible solvent phases, typically n-octanol and water. An experimental log P is valid for only a single chemical species, while a mixture of chemical species is defined by a distribution, log D. Because log P is a ratio of two concentrations at saturation, it is essentially the net result of all intermolecular forces between a solute and the two phases into which it partitions (1) and is generally pH-dependent. According to Testa et al. (1) lipophilicity can be represented (Fig. 1) as the difference between the hydrophobicity, which accounts for hydrophobic interactions, and dispersion forces and polarity, which account for hydrogen bonds, orientation, and induction forces ... 

For molecular desorption, laser spectroscopic studies of the desorbing molecule can give full internal state distributions, Df Ef, 6f, v, J, f M ), Ts), where f M ) is some distribution function describing the rotational orientation/alignment relative to the surface normal. For thermal desorption in non-activated systems, most atoms/molecules have only modest (but important) deviations from a thermal distribution at Ts. However, in associative desorption of systems with a barrier, the internal state distributions reveal intimate details of the dynamics. Associative desorption results from the slow thermal creation of a transition state, with a final thermal fluctuation causing desorption. Partitioning of the energy stored in V into... 

The partition of molecular distance correlations into intra- and intermolecular contributions allows us to interpret these correlations in terms of a simple geometrical model. By this means, we are able to elicit structural units as for example segment-clusters that include intermolecular interference phenomena. These clusters are the primary structure units which we call monodomains . These natural units characterize the basic symmetry of the whole structure. If we keep in mind this basic symmetry, we can construct our structure model from a molecular level up to the level of the monodomain treating intra- and intermolecular correlations independently. If we do so, every X-ray pattern can be represented by accounting for the orientation distribution of these monodomains. 

The partition function of a solute-solvent system for a given electronic state, where for the N solutes we use as (classical) molecular coordinates the center of mass position rG, the eulerian angles 0, , molecular frame and the internal coordinates Xjn providing the atom positions in the molecular frame, is [27,28]... 

Here we have partitioned the sums over all atoms a and /3 in the molecules P and P in the following manner. First, we sum over equivalent atoms within the same class a E a and (3 E b, which have the same chemical nature X = Xa and Xp = X and the same distance da = da and dp = db to the respective molecular center of mass. Next, we sum over classes a E P and b E P. The orientations da and dp of the position vectors of the atoms d and dp, relative to the molecular centers of mass, are still given with respect to the global coordinate frame. If we denote the polar angles of da and dp in the molecule fixed frames by d°a and dp and remember that the molecular frames are related to the global frame by rotations through the Euler angles o)P and to/., respectively, we find that...
