Factor polarization

Four Parameter Models. Two- and three-parameter theories are only accurate for simple, normal, and some slightly polar fluids. In order to accurately predict polar fluid behavior a fourth parameter is needed (80). The Stiel polarity factor, is one such fourth parameter and follows from the... 

In 1971 the Stiel polar factor was incorporated in an equation that accounts for polar fluids (88)... 

An interesting method for the substitution of a hydrogen atom in rr-electron deficient heterocycles was reported some years ago, in the possibility of homolytic aromatic displacement (74AHC(16)123). The nucleophilic character of radicals and the important role of polar factors in this type of substitution are the essentials for a successful reaction with six-membered nitrogen heterocycles in general. No paper has yet been published describing homolytic substitution reactions of pteridines with nucleophilic radicals such as alkyl, carbamoyl, a-oxyalkyl and a-A-alkyl radicals or with amino radical cations. 

A number of groups have criticized the ideas of Dauben and Noyce, especially the concept of PDC. Kamernitzsky and Akhrem, " in a thorough survey of the stereochemistry of addition reactions to carbonyl groups, accepted the existence of SAC but not of PDC. They point out that the reactions involve low energies of activation (10-13 kcal/mole) and suggest that differences in stereochemistry involve differences in entropies of activation. The effect favoring the equatorial alcohols is attributed to an electrostatic or polar factor (see also ref. 189) which may be determined by a difference in the electrostatic fields on the upper and lower sides of the carbonyl double bond, connected, for example, with the uncompensated dipole moments of the C—H bonds. The way this polar effect is supposed to influence the attack of the hydride is not made clear. 

Hudson has noted that any explanation of the a effect must account both for the enhanced nucleophilicity and the lack of effect on the Ka of the nucleophile he attributes the a effect to a balance (which is different for nucleophile-carbon and nucleophile-proton interactions) between an orbital splitting eontribution and an electrostatie bond polarity factor. 

The rates of addition to the unsubstituted terminus of monosubstituted and 1,1-disubstiluted olefins (this includes most polymerizable monomers) are thought to be determined largely by polar Factors.2 16 Polymer chemists were amongst the first to realize that polar factors were an important influence in determining the rate of addition. Such factors can account for the well-known tendency for monomer alternation in many radical copolymerizations and provide the basis for the Q-e, the Patterns of Reactivity, and many other schemes for estimating monomer reactivity ratios (Section 7.3.4). 

The traditional means of assessment of the sensitivity of radical reactions to polar factors and establishing the electrophilicity or nucleophilieity of radicals is by way of a Hammett op correlation. Thus, the reactions of radicals with substituted styrene derivatives have been examined to demonstrate that simple alkyl radicals have nucleophilic character38,39 while haloalkyl radicals40 and oxygcn-ccntcrcd radicals " have electrophilic character (Tabic 1.4). It is anticipated that electron-withdrawing substituents (e.g. Cl, F, C02R, CN) will enhance overall reactivity towards nucleophilic radicals and reduce reactivity towards electrophilic radicals. Electron-donating substituents (alkyl) will have the opposite effect. 

In the reactions of the fluoro-olefins, steric factors are of lesser importance because of the relatively small size of the fluoro-substitucnt.3 Fluorine and hydrogen are of similar bulk. In these circumstances, it should be expected that polar factors could play a role in determining regiospecificity. Application of the usual rules to vinylidene fluoride leads to a prediction that, for nucleophilic... 

Figure 1.2 Effect of polar factors on regiospecificity of radical addition.

The behavior of methyl and halomethyl radicals in their reactions with the fluoro-olefms (Table 1.2), can thus be rationalized in terms of a more dominant role of polar factors and the nucleophilic or electrophilic character of the radicals involved." Methyl radicals are usually considered to be slightly nucleophilic, trifluoromcthyl and triehloroincthyl radicals arc electrophilic (Tabic 1,4). 

However, consideration of polar factors in the traditional sense does not provide a ready explanation for the regiospecificity shown by the r butoxy radicals (which arc electrophilic, Tabic 1.3) in their reactions with the tluoro-olcfins (Tabic 1.2).22,23 Apparent ambiphilicity has been reported21 for other not very electrophilic radicals in their reactions with olefins and has been attributed to the polarizability of die radical. 

The overriding importance of polar factors in determining rates of addition has recently been questioned by Fischer and Radom4 who argue that reaction enthalpy... 

Polar factors can play an extremely important role in determining the overall reactivity and specificity of hotnolytic substitution.97 Theoretical studies on atom abstraction reactions support this view by showing that the transition state has a degree of charge separation.101 10 ... 

A striking illustration of the influence of polar factors in hydrogen abstraction reactions can be seen in the following examples (Figure 1.8) where different sites on the molecule are attacked preferentially according to the nature of the attacking radical.67... 

The above argument is also at odds with the conventional wisdom that the well-known tendency for monomer alternation in copolymerization can primarily be attributed to polar factors. It was suggested9 that, in most cases, radical stabilization could provide an alternate explanation. A discussion on the relative importance of steric polar and radical stabilization effects on radical addition appears in Section 2.3. 

Given the important role that stcric and polar factors play in determining the rate and regiospecifieity of radical additions (see 2.3), it might be anticipated that reagents which coordinate with the propagating radical and/or the monomer and thereby modify the effective size, polarity, or inherent stability of that species, could alter the outcome of propagation. 

The atomic amplitude functions take account of the atomic F- factor, the temperature factor, the Lorentz factor, and the polarization factor. 

Observed and calculated intensities of reflections on two oscillation photographs, one of which is reproduced in Fig. 5, are given in Table III. The first number below each set of indices (hkl) is the visually estimated observed intensity, and the second the intensity calculated by the usual Bade-methode formula with the use of the Pauling-Sherman /0-values1), the Lorentz and polarization factors being included and the temperature factor omitted. No correction for position on the film has been made. It is seen that the agreement is satisfactory for most of the... 

The use of Lorentz and polarization factors not corresponding exactly to the Laue technique probably introduces no appreciable error.) The parameter accordingly has the value... 

Derivation of the Structure.—The observed intensities reported by Ludi et al. for the silver salt have been converted to / -values by dividing by the multiplicity of the form or pair of forms and the Lorentz and polarization factors (Table 1). With these / -values we have calculated the section z = 0 of the Patterson function. Maxima are found at the positions y2 0, 0 1/2, and 1/21/2. These maxima represent the silver-silver vectors, and require that silver atoms lie at or near the positions l/2 0 2,0 y2 z, V2 V2 z. The section z = l/2 of the Patterson function also shows pronounced maxima at l/2 0,0 y2, and y2 x/2, with no maximum in the neighborhood of y6 ys. These maxima are to be attributed to the silver-cobalt vectors, and they require that the cobalt atom lie at the position 0 0 0, if z for the silver atoms is assigned the value /. Thus the Patterson section for z = /2 eliminates the structure proposed by Ludi et al. 

The easy homolysis of C-Br bond in CBr4 allowed us to conduct the radical chain reaction of CBr4 with 3,3,3-trifluoropropene under common conditions (benzoyl peroxide), although in this case the strong electrophiles are used as reagents (an addend and a monomer), i.e. a very unfavorable combination of polar factors for proceeding the process takes place (ref. 6). 

Nevertheless, such a combination of polar factors actually makes this step less efficient than that is usually in the reactions with CBr4, and as a result the radical-adduct CB3CH2CHCF3 takes part in concurrent reaction of growth chain with another monomer molecule to form telomer T2 this is basically non-typical for reactions of CBr4. 

We can see from these data that benzyl radical significantly easier adds to electrophilic methyl acrylate and acrylonitrile than to relatively nucleophilic hex-1-ene. This is one of the arguments for a nucleophilic character of benzyl radical. The polar factors affect essentially kinetic parameters of the processes, as judged from the ratios / KadC4H9 = g3 and K dCOOCHa / k C4H9 = 41. The... 

PAMPs and various tissue factors can prime DCs to produce T-cell-polarizing factors [21], IL-12 is a pro-inflammatory cytokine that induces IFN-y and promotes the development of Thl-cell differentiation [31], Other Thl-polarizing factors are IFN-a and IFN-(3 [32] and cell-surface expressed intracellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-l [33]. On the other hand, it has been shown that NF-kB inducing kinase (NIK), which is known to regulate B-cell maturation and lymphoid organogenesis, is important for the induction of Thl7 cells [34],...
