Transition matrix estimators have received less attention than the multicanonical and Wang-Landau methods, but have been applied to a small collection of informative examples. Smith and Bruce [111, 112] applied the transition probability approach to the determination of solid-solid phase coexistence in a square-well model of colloids. Erring ton and coworkers [113, 114] have also used the method to determine liquid-vapor and solid-liquid [115] equilibria in the Lennard-Jones system. Transition matrices have also been used to generate high-quality data for the evaluation of surface tension [114, 116] and for the estimation of order parameter weights in phase-switch simulations [117].

The process O2 + C0(a) is also interesting and this can be studied by a gas phase switch from CO to O2. As mentioned above a short exposure to helium between the CO and O2 is used. This procedure eliminates the interaction of CO and O2 during the mixing time (ca 2 s) for the cell. Oxygen does not desorb in helium (T<450K) but Dwyer (22) found that CO does, as shown in Fig. 15. 

Finally, in our 1997 Science paper,1451 we introduced a number of fluorous phase switching techniques, and one of these is illustrated in Figure 12. Cycloaddition of nitriles with fluorous tin azide 20 provides...

Tris[(2-perfluorohexyl)ethyl]tin hydride has three perfluorinated segments with ethylene spacers and it partitions primarily (> 98%) into the fluorous phase in a liquid-liquid extraction. This feature not only facilitates the purification of the product from the tin residue but also recovers toxic tin residue for further reuse. Stoichiometric reductive radical reactions with the fluorous tin hydride 3 have been previously reported and a catalytic procedure is also well established. The reduction of adamantyl bromide in BTF (benzotrifluoride) " using 1.2 equiv of the fluorous tin hydride and a catalytic amount of azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) was complete in 3 hr (Scheme 1). After the simple liquid-liquid extraction, adamantane was obtained in 90% yield in the organic layer and the fluorous tin bromide was separated from the fluorous phase. The recovered fluorous tin bromide was reduced and reused to give the same results. Phenylselenides, tertiary nitro compounds, and xanthates were also successfully reduced by the fluorous fin hydride. Standard radical additions and cyclizations can also be conducted as shown by the examples in Scheme 1. Hydrostannation reactions are also possible, and these are useful in the techniques of fluorous phase switching. Carbonylations are also possible. Rate constants for the reaction of the fluorous tin hydride with primary radicals and acyl radicals have been measured it is marginally more reactive than tributlytin hydrides. ... 

ROMP polymers bearing acid chloride, phosphonate, carbodiimide, phosphonyl chloride, and phosphine groups have been used as platforms in phase-switching, sequestration, capture-release, and soluble support applications. 

The complex notation in Eq. (9) indicates that the grating is characterized by both an amplitude and a phase factor, and I (t) may also be a complex quantity containing both amplitude and phase modulation. For heterodyne detection schemes, both contributions are of importance. In most experiments, but not in all, 180°-phase switching, corresponding to f0-amplitude switching of the interference grating, has been employed. 

A catalyst cartridge based on compound I/[Rh(acac)(CO)2] (P/Rh = 5 1) has been successfully implemented for the hydroformylation of a set of structurally diverse olefins (Scheme 3.15) using scC02 to induce a phase switch and mass separation [74, 75]. However, the standard solvent extraction could be impossible to achieve such comparable efficient separation owing to the similarities in polarity between catalyst and some of the substrates. 

A way to get round collecting and processing image sets for each new ligand tested was to use the phases from the original PTX experiment to process the diffraction amplitudes recorded for new drugs in the Zn sheets. As discussed above, this is not a new concept. The techniques molecular replacement (MR) and phase switching are often employed in X-ray crystal structure determination when actual phases aren t known [32], The application and results of these experiments are described herein. 

There are two prachcal difficulties with the correlahon radiometer. The brst is that one will get too much 1// noise from the mulhplier and the DC ampli-ber following it. This can be solved by introducing phase switches into both...

In one such TTF/DNP-based bistable [2]rotaxane 54+ (Fig. 8.6a), a long, rigid p-ter-phenyl spacer was employed between the TTF and DNP recognition sites and two tetraarylmethane stoppers were employed [22a] on both ends of the dumbbell component for the solution-phase switching studies. UV-Vis spectroscopy (Fig. 8.6b), which reveals the precise location of the CBPQT4+ ring on the dumbbell...
