Pauling points

Lithium may serve as an example for illustrating the general picture of resonance structures in metals. Pauling points out that it is unlikely that synchronized resonance, i.e. resonance of two bonds simultaneously, of the type... 

Linus Pauling pointed out many years ago (5) that enzymes are catalysts because they can bind strongly the transition states of chemical reactions. Typical accelerations by cyclodextrin or its derivatives are in the range between 10- and 300-fold this very modest accelera-... 

The effectiveness of pharmacological levels of ascorbic acid remains controversial. The proponents base their argument on levels of ascorbate consumed in the wild by monkeys and the rate of ascorbate synthesized by nonrequiring species. Pauling pointed out that greenstuffs eaten by the gorilla provide about 4.5 g of ascorbic acid/d (130,131). He... 

O We have examined predictions using the series up to MP3 with large basis sets[13]. In many cases, we have found that MP3 predictions are inferior to MP2, and we conclude that the additional effort required for MP3 is not valuable. This may be unsatisfactory all that it means is that MP2 is a good "Pauling" point for many calculations. 

The determination of the aspect ratio of the montmorillonite by TEM is fraught with difficulties. Fornes and Paul point out that the utilization of a two-dimensional representation (TEM) of a three-dimensional particle in a polymer matrix would be expected to provide dimensions that are smaller than the actual dimensions. The sections obtained by microtoming for the TEM were on the order of 50 nm thick. This thickness is significantly less than the expected dimensions of the montmorillonite particles which add to the complexity of the particle size determination by TEM.
