Polarization oxygen

C. Hydrated monovalent cation approaching an area of the membrane where an amphiphilic carrier is located with its lipid side in contact with the lipid layer and with polar oxygens directed outward into solution. On close approach to the carrier, water molecules in the first coordination shell become replaced by carrier oxygens. As the ion becomes enclosed, the carrier moves into the lipid layer. 

Figure 17.1 Hydrogen-bonding in alcohols and phenols. A weak attraction between a positively polarized OH hydrogen and a negatively polarized oxygen holds molecules together. The electrostatic potential map of methanol shows the positively polarized O-H hydrogen (blue) and the negatively polarized oxygen (red).

Hydrocarbon oxidation produces polar oxygen-containing compounds. These compounds tend to associate in nonpolar hydrocarbon and form some aggregates. The formation of such a microheterogeneous polar system can influence the rate and mechanism of oxidation [20]. The study of hydrocarbon oxidation in the systems with reversed micelles has its special... 

The hydrothermal carbons obtained in the end from soluble, non-structural carbohydrates are micrometer sized, spherically shaped particle dispersions, containing a sp2 hybridized backbone (also responsible for the brown to black color) decorated with a dense layer of polar oxygenated functionalities still remaining from the original carbohydrate. The presence of these surface groups offers the possibility of further functionalization and makes the materials more hydrophilic and well-dispersible in water. The size of the final particles depends mainly on the carbonization time and precursor concentration inside the autoclave, as well as additives and stabilizers potentially added to the primary reaction recipe. An SEM image of a model reaction illustrating this dispersion state is shown in Fig. 7.1. 

A one ligand-one cation mechanism seems entirely reasonable. Transport of any cation into a lipophilic medium requires lipophilic solvation. The PEGs are compounds of intermediate polarity. They contain many -CH2 CH2- groups, but they also contain an equal number of polar oxygen atoms. A solvent like decane can apparently solvate a cation-complexed PEG when only one charge is present, but not when...

This mechanism has been supported by x-ray studies on crystallized xylose isomerase that suggest that the "active-site histidine" (presumed to be His 53, or 54 in some sequences) is located correctly so as to properly remove a proton from either Cl or C2 of the substrate, and that two threonine residues (Thr90 and Thr91, or 89,90 in some sequences) are positioned to provide polar oxygens to be either the acceptor or the donor proton in the cu-enediol configuration (57). 

Was this your answer The polar oxygen-hydrogen covalent bond in each methanol molecule leads to hydrogen bonding between molecules. These relatively strong interparticle attractions hold methanol molecules together as a liquid at room temperature.
