In organic ECL reactions, the luminescent species are generally derivatives of polyaromatic hydrocarbons where A and B in Eqs. (1) through (4) can be either the same species (leading to self-annihilation) or two different PAHs with either being the analyte (mixed system). Some examples of both self-annihilation and mixed system ECL reactions of organic molecules are listed in Tables 1 and 2. One well-studied example is the self-annihilation reaction between the anion and cation radicals of 9,10-diphenylanthracene (DPA) via an S-route in acetonitrile resulting in blue fluorescence characteristic of DPA [17] ... 

Certain fundamental characteristics of MECC that influence retention have been investigated (5). The technique has been used in the analysis of a variety of samples including phenolic compounds (1), phenylthiohydantoin—amino acids (6), and metabolites of vitamin Bg (7). In related electrokinetic separation techniques, substituted benzene compounds have been separated based on the formation of inclusion complexes with an ionic cyclodextrin derivative in the mobile phase (8) and polyaromatic hydrocarbons have been separated based on solvophobic interactions with a tetraakyl— ammonium ion in the mobile phase (9). The effects of injection procedures on efficiency have also been studied (10). 

It seems that there are two types of coke on the catalyst, soft or hard coke. The coke deposition c defined as soft coke in Eq. (18) has equivalent characteristics to that defined in Eq. (14). The rate of coke deposition is simulated by Eq. (2) where coke is defined as hydrogenable . This coke is speculated to be adsorbed polyaromatics rather than coke. Hard coke c defined in Eq. (19), on the contrary, is steadily produced with a deposition rate of Eq. (2) this affects the diffusivity of reactant. 

Organic sulphur- and nitrogen-compounds in motor fuels are a source for acid rain and harmful to the environment. Moreover, they are poisonous to the auto exhaust catalysts. To meet new developments in EU regulations on the S-concentration, a commonly applied one-step hydrodesulfurization (HDS), using conventional catalysts, e.g. C0-M0/7-AI2O3, is insufficient. A second HDS step, viz. a deep HDS step, can be more economical to reduce the S-content to the currently allowed European level of 350 ppm. This level will be reduced further to 50 ppm in 2005 [1]. In the first HDS step, often the heavy organic sulfur-containing polyaromatics survived, such as dibenzothiophene (DBT) and (4-, and/or 6-) alkylated DBTs [2,3]. They are the most refractory. In crude oils, there are also aromatic N-compounds, which suppress the performance of the HDS catalysts. Hence, a model feed for representative HDS-activity measurements should contain characteristic S- and N- compounds for practical relevance. 

Another important and well-known aspect in structure/response correlation studies is the concept of congenericity. Congenericity is a fuzzy concept related to the structures of molecules in a data set. With respect to some molecular structural characteristics, chemical analogues can be considered congeneric if their structural differences are the interesting part of the study. Monosubstituted benzenes, polychlorobiphenyls, triazines, and polyaromatic hydrocarbons are all examples of the families of congeneric compounds. 

In addition to the above-mentioned conventional polymers, several interesting developments have taken place in the preparation of nanocomposites of MMT with some specialty polymers including the N-heterocyclic polymers like poly (N-vinylcarbazole) (PNVC) [32, 33], polypyrrole (PPY) [34, 35], and polyaromatics such as polyaniline (PANI) [36-38]. PNVC is well known for its high thermal stability [39] and characteristic optoelectronic properties [40-43]. PPY and PANI are known to display electric conductivity [44-46]. Naturally, composites based on these polymers should be expected to lead to novel materials [47,48]. 

However, because that they are poorly soluble in many monomers and are toxic, photosensitizers received little attention. In addition, because of their high vapor pressure, polyaromatic compounds can be lost from thin coatings during polymerization. For these reasons, functionalizing these electron-rich compounds in away to improve solubility and less toxicity without affecting their absorption and photosensitizing characteristics can be a convenient solution (Chart 11.11). 

The intensity of the band at 1600 cm (the so-called coke band) which is considered as characteristic of polyaromatic species [3] increases slightly with ageing as well as those of the bands at 1450 cm and at 1355 cm whereas the intensity of the band at 1505 cm which corresponds to less condensed aromatics [8] decreases. Therefore, in addition to the decrease in coke content there is an increase in the degree of aromaticity of coke. Similar observations have been previously made by various authors on zeolites [9-13] as well as on other acid catalysts [14-16]. However, the sweeping under inert gas flow of the coked samples was always carried out at temperatures much higher than in this work. 

With well-known coke-makers such as olefins or polyaromatics this shell blockage is highly probable if the operating conditions (pressure, temperature) and the characteristics of the active sites are not carefully chosen. Thus figure 8 shows that blockage of the access of nitrogen to the pores of a USHY deactivated at 350° C increases when the pressure of 1-methylnaphtalene used as a reactant increases (and hence when the coking rate increases). 

The flexibility of coal structure and mobility of loosened molecules are responsible for the successive extraction of coal in solvents having different chemical characteristics. In fact, coal has a heterogeneous structure having different structural units, that is, polyaromatic, hydroaromatic, and paraffinic units linked through C-C, C-N-C, C-O-C, and C-S-C linkages.
