Hattori et al. (1993) measured mobilities of a series of aiylamine derivatives doped into a PC. The results were compared to ionization potentials and the calculated differences of the electron densities of the donor molecules in their neutral and cation radical states. While there was no apparent correlation between the mobilities and the ionization potentials, the mobilities decreased as the difference in electron density distribution increased. 

Nemeth-Buhin and Juhasz (1995) measured hole mobilities of l,l-bis(4-diethylaminophenyl)-4,4-diphenyl-1,3-butadiene doped PC. Measurements were made at concentrations as low as 4%. These correspond to intersite distances as large as 28 A, the largest of any described in the literature. A significant result of this work was that transit times as long as 104 s were measured with no indication of trapping. 

Young and Fitzgerald (1995) analyzed the effects of dipole moments on the hole mobilities of a series of aiylalkane, aiylamine, carbazole, hydrazone, pyrazoline, and oxadiazole molecules doped into a PC, PS, and as vapor-deposited glasses. The results agreed with earlier work of Sugiuchi et al. (1991). With the exception of the aiylalkane derivatives, the mobilities decreased in a near exponential manner with increasing dipole moment. 

Aratani et al. (1996) investigated effects of molecular orbital distributions on hole mobilities of a series of triphenylamine derivatives doped into PC. The results show that the HOMO of the triphenylamine derivatives has essentially no effect on either the width of the DOS or the degree of positional disorder, but has a large effect on the prefactor mobility. Aratini et al. argued that increasing the HOMO distribution on the triphenylamine moiety results in an increase in the wavefunction decay constant. The mobility increases as the fraction of the HOMO electron density distributed on the triphenylamine moiety increases. The ionization potential of the triphenylamine derivatives was found to have little effect on the transport behavior. 

This chapter contains information on additives such as processing aids, retarders, and stearates. While these compounds may not be as widely used as plasticizers or antioxidants, they play an important role in plastic and rubber processing. 

This group includes salts and esters of stearic acid, which is a saturated fatty acid. Often termed as metallic stearates , these compounds are used as release agents in processing polyolefins, polystyrenes, polyesters, and rubbers. 

Analytically, these compounds are typically a challenge to detect because they would fully decompose upon heating. However, complete consumption may be limited by the processing time during foam production, incomplete heat transfer, and the retarding effects of other additives.

From an analytical perspective, it is important to note that these materials are used in very low bulk concentration in most polymer applications. This avoids bulk adsorption into polymers. Analysis for antistats is best performed with sampling of the outermost surface. 

Retarders are chemical reagents used to slow down the reaction process. They are used to control how long the polymer matrix can remain viscous and moldable before setting into a rigid plastic. 

Physical Properties Appearance White to pale-yellow powder

Biodegradable polyurethanes have been proposed and studied before (9-72). The difference in our study is the inclusion of a phosphoester linkage instead of the commonly used polyester component. This seems to provide more flexibility as the side chain of the phosphate or phosphonate can be varied. For controlled drug delivery applications, drugs can be linked to this site to form a pendant delivery system. Moreover, for certain medical applications, fast degradation rate is obtainable by the introduction of these hydrolyzable phosphoester bonds. With the LDI based polyurethanes, drugs or other compounds of interest can also be coupled to the ester side chain of the lysine portion. 

Not unexpectedly, cycloalkene oxides are equally important as alkene oxides in medicinal chemistry and drug metabolism, as illustrated below with a few selected examples. Other compounds of interest that will not be discussed here include epoxytetrahydrocannabinols and endogenous 16,17-ep-oxy steroids.

The simpler aliphatic sulphur derivatives considered in this section are the sulphur analogues of oxygen compounds, e.g. the thiols (RSH), and the symmetrical or unsymmetrical thioethers (R-S-R or R -S-R2). Compounds derived from these two groups, where the sulphur atom can attain a higher oxidation state, are the sulphinic and sulphonic acids (R-SO-OH and R-S02 OH), the sulphox-ides (R-SO-R), and the sulphones (R-S02-R). Other compounds of interest which are considered in the following discussion are ... 

The key features of the thermodynamics of ethane pyrolysis are illustrated in Figure 2.1, which shows the free energy relationship of ethane to the product ethylene and other compounds of interest over a range of ten ratures. This graph illustrates several points which are central to the technology and production economics of ethylene production ... 

Other extraction methods described for PBDEs in the literature are basically batch and Soxhlet extractions. The various clean-up methods for biological, sediment, and sewage sludge samples differ, depending on other compounds of interest which are determined simultaneously [1],... 

The preparation of many complexes of bipyridyl-containing metals in low oxidation states have been achieved by Herzog and his co-workers (e.g., 367). These and other compounds of interest are cited in Table XVI together with magnetic moments measured at ambient temperature (the most widely determined property). Although most work has been carried out with bipyridyl, it is apparent that phenanthroline and terpyridyl will afford similar complexes. There is a general paucity of physical data for the compounds listed in Table XVI. The determination of magnetic susceptibilities as a function of temperature would be worthwhile in many cases and the two iron compounds are obvious candidates for a Mossbauer study.

A commercial CE system and a micropacked capillary was used to separate N—, O—, and S-containing heterocyclic compounds. Migration time reproducibility, linearity, and detector response was found to be comparable to HPLC. A study of the heterocyclic compound s elution order followed that predicted by the octanol-water partition coefficients (354). While chiral CEC provides improved resolution and higher efficiencies, additional work is needed since chiral CEC capillaries are not available commercially. The separation principles and chiral recognition mechanism for the separation of enantiomers have been reviewed (355). Furthermore, a comprehensive collection of drug applications and other compounds of interest has been reported (356). Direct enantiomeric separations by CEC were studied using a capillary packed with alpha-1-acid glycoprotein chiral stationary phase (357). Chiral resolution was achieved for enantiomers of benzoin, hexobarbital, pentobarbital, fosfamide, disopyramide, methoprolol, oxprenolol, and propanolol. The effects of pH, electrolyte concentration, and con-... 

There are some classes of compounds present in seawater which have known biological activity but have received little attention. Compounds involved in chemical communication, especially halogenated compounds, will be discussed in other chapters. Other compounds of interest are those involved in the citric acid cycle, the major pathway of metabolism in almost all cells. Citric acid cycle intermediates and reactions are involved in the biosynthesis of most of the major metabolites, from amino acids and carbohydrates to long-chain fatty acids and porphyrins (Mahler and Cordes, 1971). The intermediates, such as succinic, fumaric, malic, oxaloacetic, citric, gly-oxylic, and oxoglutaric acids are present in almost all organisms and are certainly being produced in the sea. 

Squalene is a precursor for steroid biosynthesis and may have cardioprotective and cancer-preventative properties. Though nuts are known to contain squalene, the limited literature available indicates that the pine nut contains a relatively low amount of squalene compared to other nuts [8]. Reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis showed that pine nut oil had a squalene content of about 40mg/100g oil, which is approximately 23mg/100 nuts. Thus, they would not be a likely choice for a squalene-based nutraceutical however, this study did not report the species of pine nut measured, and variability between species of other compounds of interest may indicate that a different species could provide higher squalene content. 

From the bark of E. subumbrans were isolated three new rythrina alkaloids, (+)-10,ll-dioxoerythratine (11), (+)-10,ll-dioxoerythratidinone (12) and (-l-)-10,ll-dioxoepierythratidine (40). Other compounds of interest isolated were a new pterocarpan, 1-methoxyerythrabyssin II, and seven known pteroearpans [53].
