The correlation results for the bromination of diarylethylenes [31(X,Y)] summarized in Table 14 also involve the same serious problem. The p value increases significantly as the fixed substituent Y becomes more EW. This behaviour is indeed what is expected for the quantitative reactivity-selectivity relationship. However, in Table 14, the range of variable substituents X involved in the correlation of the respective Y sets is evidently different from set to set. The correlation for the Y = p-MeO set giving p = -2.3 should be referred to as the correlation for the T-conformation where X is more EW than Y, correlations for Y = p-Me, H and p-Br sets giving p = -3.6 may be referred to the E-conformation, and those for Y = m-Hal, especially P-NO2, refer without doubts to the P-conformation. The variation of p value cited in Table 14 demonstrates nothing other than the dependence of the selectivity p upon the propeller conformation of the diaryl carbocations. While there is no doubt regarding the importance of RSR in the mechanistic studies, these results lead to the conclusion that the RSR, or most of the non-additivity behaviour of a,a-diarylcarbocation systems which have been cited as best examples of quantitative RSR, may indeed be only an artifact. 

The discrete-time formulation employed is conceptually the original one (Pantelides, 1994), with the necessary adjustments to consider a periodic mode of operation (Shah et al., 1993). Nevertheless, to ensure that the problem is addressed more systematically and that the model is reusable when the number of tasks, resources and chemicals is changed, other model entities are used. Processing tasks (K) are associated to a given chemical (I) and also to a system of equipment units (X), while cleaning tasks will be defined for each unit (M) and for all combinations of chemicals /, / with ii P. Two sets of binary variables identify the starting point (ieT) of these tasks Nn, and... 

The effect of CV correlation on the Ai- B separation in CHj was estimated by using a totally uncontracted C s and p basis set to avoid the contraction problem. Using the C P- S separation as a calibration, it is likely that the largest possible valence active space that could be used in the CHj calculations would lead to a slight overestimation of the CV effect. However, even this calculation resulted in a Cl expansion of about 1.5 million CSFs. The benchmark studies of CV correlation indicate that it increases the separation in CH2 by about 0.35kcal/mole (see Table V). 

The orbital form of the trial density ensures that it is n-representable and so we seek a minimum in W[p x) subject to this orthonormality constraint on the orbitals Xi(x). Since the functionals T, V and J are ejl avaiilable explicitly in terms of the orbitals, the variational problem becomes identical to the Hartree-Fock variational problem set up and solved in Chapter 2 except for the problematic exchange-correlation functional Exc which is not known explicitly as a functional of p x) or the orbitals Xt(x). Thus we must simply carry the variation in Exc induced by a variation in p(x) into the differential equation for the optimum orbitals... 

In the table the second, third, and fourth problems each result from a permutation of the known and unknown quantities that occur in the bubble-T calculation. We refer to these as P-problems, because each problem is well-posed when values are specified for P independent intensive properties, where the value of T is given by the phase rule (9.1.14). However, the flash problem in Table 11.1 differs from the others in that it is an P -problem it is well-posed when values are specified for T independent intensive properties, with the value of T given by (9.1.12). Flash calculations pertain to separations by flash distillation in which a known amount N of one-phase fluid, having known composition z, is fed to a flash chamber. When T and P of the chamber are properly set, the feed partially flashes, producing a vapor phase of composition xP in equilibrium with a liquid of composition x ). The problem is to determine these compositions, as well as the fraction of feed that flashes NP/N. Unlike the other problems in Table 11.1, the flash problem involves the relative amounts in the phases and therefore a solution procedure must invoke not only the equilibrium conditions (11.1.1) but also material balances. 

After teaching this chapter, it is advisable to use a whole session of tutoring, which includes material from Lecture 6, and add to it tutoring on the 3D structure of molecules, electronegativity (EN), polarity, H-bonding, etc. Problems in the problem sets, in Sections 6.P and 7.P, can be used in tbe tutoring.

To show how the matrix approach works, we will go over the (Zp c, 2py) example more formally. We have used an equivalent set of basis vectors for the water problem before. Figure 2.2 shows a set of vectors labelled x,y and z on the O atom of H2O along with the transformation that occurs after each of the symmetry operations in Cav is applied. These vectors have exactly the same symmetry properties as the p-orbital set on the O atom, since they are their functional forms. The paper models from Appendix 1 can also be used to follow the transformations discussed with this basis. If we consider the x and y vectors together, the C2 transformation can be written as.
