Permanent charge

Electret A type of filter that does not require a power supply, and depends on the use of a filter medium with a permanent charge. Best performance is achieved with dry air. 

For illite (Figure 3B) the total amount of Cs adsorbed is two orders of magnitude larger (ca. 0.26 atoms/A2) due primarily to the permanent charge developed by substitution of Al for Si in the tetrahedral sites and to less efficient filtering of the solution caused by lower sample permeability. The maximum amount of hydrated Cs that can be accommodated on the illite surface is ca. 0.023 atoms/A, close to the amount... 

The calculations so far have been concerned with the permanent charge distribution which the molecule would have when isolated, and which would be observed in its dipole moment. The factor that actually determines the orientation of the entering group, however, is the charge distribution at the instant of attack, which differs from the permanent charge distribution in consequence of polarization by the entering group. In most cases it is not necessary to take this latter effect into account explicitly, since it represents only a small correction. However, in certain cases it is apparently of decisive importance.7... 

By introducing reasonable values (about 2 for nitrogen, 4 for oxygen) for the electron affinity parameter relative to carbon, 8, and for the induced electron affinity for adjacent atoms (32/8i = Vio), we have shown that the calculated permanent charge distributions for pyridine, toluene, phenyltrimethylammonium ion, nitrobenzene, benzoic acid, benzaldehyde, acetophenone, benzo-nitrile, furan, thiophene, pyrrole, aniline, and phenol can be satisfactorily correlated qualitatively with the observed positions and rates of substitution. For naphthalene and the halogen benzenes this calculation does not lead to results...

Molecular designers can exploit these rules and design chemicals that demonstrate characteristics that are likely to lead to decreased absorption and therefore minimize toxicity. Molecules that are permanently charged at physiological pH like the neurotoxin curare or... 

The total electric field, E, is composed of the external electric field from the permanent charges E° and the contribution from other induced dipoles. This is the basis of most polarizable force fields currently being developed for biomolecular simulations. In the present chapter an overview of the formalisms most commonly used for MM force fields will be presented. It should be emphasized that this chapter is not meant to provide a broad overview of the field but rather focuses on the formalisms of the induced dipole, classical Drude oscillator and fluctuating charge models and their development in the context of providing a practical polarization model for molecular simulations of biological macromolecules [12-21], While references to works in which the different methods have been developed and applied are included throughout the text, the major discussion of the implementation of these models focuses... 

The dipole moment, p , induced on a site i is proportional to the electric field at that site, E . The proportionality constant is the polarizability tensor, a,. The dipole feels an electric field both from the permanent charges of the system and from the other induced dipoles. The expression for is... 

More recently, Ponder and co-workers [40-48] developed the AMOEBA force field based on a modification of the formulation of Applequist [49] and Thole [50], It is based on a modification of Eq. (9-3) with the static electric field due to permanent charges replaced by permanent multipoles ... 

The presence of hydroxyaluminum- and hydroxyaluminosilicate polymer in interlayered montmorillonite greatly promotes the adsorption of Cd, Zn, and Pb (Saha et al., 2001). The adsorption selectivity sequences of montmorillonite (Pb > Zn > Cd) and interlayered montmorillonite (Pb Zn Cd) resemble the metal selectivity on amorphous Fe and Al hydroxides (Saha et al., 2001). On montmorillonite, the metals are predominantly adsorbed on the permanent charge sites in an easily replaceable state. However, a substantial involvement of the edge OH" groups of montmorillonite in specific adsorption of the metals is also observed, especially at higher pH (Saha et al., 2001). 

The main effect of the permanent charges of the solute is to polarize the solvent. The induced charge density pind in the solvent is related to the solvent polarization density P(r) [83, 84]... 

In practical cases, it is the solute charges that are modeled explicitly, and treated as permanent source charges. In contrast, the whole solvent medium is usually treated as a continuum, without any explicit, permanent, source charges. (This is reasonable for a solvent made of small, neutral molecules ionic liquids would obviously need a different treatment.) Since there are no permanent charges in the solvent,... 

P-gp substrates are in general either neutral or cationic at physiological pH (weak bases). Weak bases can cross the lipid membrane in the uncharged form and reprotonate in the negatively charged cytosolic leaflet of the membrane. With a few exceptions (e.g., the tetraphenyl phosphonium ion, which can reach the cytosolic membrane leaflet due to charge delocalization [70]), permanently charged cations do not cross the cell membrane and therefore cannot interact with P-gp in intact cells. They can, however, insert into the cytosolic leaflet in inside-out cellular vesicles and are then transported by P-gp [42, 71]. 

In addition to the intermolecular forces that exist as a result of permanent charge separations in molecules, there must be some other type of force. Sometimes referred to as electronic van der Waals...

An ideal polarity probe based on photoinduced charge transfer and solvent relaxation should (i) undergo a large change in dipole moment upon excitation but without change in direction, (ii) bear no permanent charge in order to avoid contributions from ionic interactions, (iii) be soluble in solvents of various polarity, from the apolar solvents to the most polar ones.
