Prospectives for Future Applications

There remains, however, a wide field of possible applications that might exploit the special characteristics of zeolite-supported systems. Phenomenological observations that have been compiled in the present review reveal a number of novel principles. Their application to industrial catalysis forms a strong challenge. 

We mentioned the possibility of producing and maintaining catalytically active complexes by the ship-in-a-bottle technique examples were shown of complexes that are readily formed inside zeolites but that cannot be pre- 

We also mentioned stereospecificity of metal-catalyzed reactions inside zeolite cavities. In acid catalysis by zeolites it is well known that shape selectivity can be imposed by (1) selective admission of reactants fitting into zeolite pores, (2) selective release of products able to diffuse through zeolite channels, while larger molecules are retained, and (3) transition state selectivity, favoring, e.g., a monomolecular transition state over a bimolecular state in a narrow cavity. New tools that have conceptually been added to this arsenal include the collimation of molecules diffusing through well-defined pores, which then hit an active site preferentially via one particular atom or group. 

We further mentioned the interesting possibility of preparing well-defined alloy particles in zeolite cavities, and the control of their composition and size by positioning the precursor ions in appropriate cages. Additional control is provided by selective leaching of one component out of binary particles. 

The interaction of metal particles and protons can lead to electron-deficient adducts. These might catalyze classical bifunctional reactions in an unconventional manner, namely, replacing multistep, catalysis by reorganization of atoms in one step i.e., during one single residence of the reactant molecule on such a hybrid site.

This chapter summarizes many of the contributions that the recoil technique of generating excited radiotracer atoms in the presence of a thermal environment is making to the field of chemical dynamics. Specific topics discussed critically include characterization of the generation and behavior of excited molecules including fragmentation kinetics and energy transfer, measurement of thermal and hot kinetic parameters, and studies of reaction mechanisms and stereochemistry as a function of reaction energy. Distinctive features that provide unique approaches to dynamical problems are evaluated in detail and the complementarity with more conventional techniques is addressed. Prospects for future applications are also presented.

R D efforts eontinue for eellulose acetate and triacetate. More publications are now from Southeast Asian eountries. There is continued interest in aeetylation technology for lower grade pulps and even biomass and wood fibers [97 99]. Through the years, research efforts have been direeted toward improving certain deficiencies sueh as abrasion resistance, shrinkage resistanee, and strength. Prospects for future applications are viewed as related to the ability to add new performanee features to cellulose acetate including thermal processability, water dispersibility, and the ability to interact with other polymers on the molecular level [100]. 

Linear deconvolution methods have served to educate us as to the pitfalls of the deconvolution problem. Their occasional successful applications both tantalized and discouraged us. Now, there are fewer and fewer circumstances in which use of linear methods is justified. The more-generally useful nonlinear methods have teamed with the powerful hardware that they demand to enhance future prospects for wide application of deconvolution methods.

Raman spectroscopy has developed rapidly in the past few years and there are very interesting prospects for future process applications. By building on the fact that Raman spectroscopy is fast, selective, informative and can be remotely coupled to process vessels, it is very likely that we will see Raman spectrometers much more widely used in pharmaceutical manufacturing. Several challenges are still hampering future success in some areas as discussed above. In particular, more efforts on interfacing the Raman spectrometer to different secondary process unit operations are needed before we will see the robust use of the technique. 

The substrate range scope and limitations Promising prospects for synthetic applications of the proline-catalyzed aldol reaction in the future were opened up by experimental studies of the range of substrates by the List [69, 70a, 73] and Barbas [71] groups. The reaction proceeds well when aromatic aldehydes are used as starting materials - enantioselectivity is 60 to 77% ee and yields are up to 94% (Scheme 6.19) [69, 70], The direct L-proline-catalyzed aldol reaction proceeds very efficiently when isobutyraldehyde is used as substrate - the product, (R)-38d, has been obtained in very good yield (97%) and with high enantioselectivity (96% ee). 

While certain intereshng aspects have been recently discovered, the potential of BVMO-mediated biooxygenation of multifunctional substrates and, in particular, of polyketone compounds, is yet to be fully investigated. Further studies in this area certainly contain the prospect of high impact contributions for the further improvement and increase in efficiency for future applications in single-operation multistep synthesis. 

The unique structures and novel properties of EMFs suggest hugely important potential applications in many fields ranging from biology, medicine, and electronics to material science. However, because of the low availability, applications of EMFs and their derivatives have not been investigated widely during recent years. Nevertheless, preliminary results present us with the future prospects for the applications of EMFs. 

Recent Trends presents a picture of radiation chemistry as a vibrant field of international venue, still addressing fundamental challenges as it continues to grow into its second century. This image is reinforced, and both broadened and deepened, by a number of edited volumes Rndintion Chemistry Present Status and Future Trends — Jonah and Rao (2001) Char ed Particle and Photon Interactions with Matter — Mozumder and Hatano (2004) Radiation Chemistry From Basics to Applications in Material and Life Sciences— Belloni et al. (2008) which have appeared within the last few years. A clear articulation of prospects for future development was also presented at the recent visionary meeting Radiation Chemistry in the 21st Century held at Notre Dame in July, 2009. 

Over the past half-century, the utility of soil chemical analysis to archaeology has repeatedly been demonstrated. Numerous investigations accomplished since 1972 have both reaffirmed previous findings and indicated directions for future applications. The prospect for continued expansion of this ancillary methodology is quite favorable. 

This chapter deals with a method of retrospective hiomonitoring of trace metal pollution using chemical analyses of tree rings, known as dendroanalysis. The usefulness of dendroanalytical results is disputed (Hagemeyer, 1993). Experimental tests of the method are presented and its applicability is critically examined. Furthermore, prospects for future studies of trace metals in trees are outlined.

Then we discuss the treatment of atomic cores. Next, we outline selected applications to atoms, molecules, clusters, and a few results for extended systems. We conclude with prospects for future progress.

Many different derivatizations have been tested on native proteins and protein hydrolysates in recent decades, to enhance and refine their functionality, impart new features and properties, or simply improve solubility and cosmetic acceptance. Some of the resulting products have been proved effective and commercially successful, others remain elegant laboratory curiosities, others may represent interesting prospects for future cosmetic applications. In the following survey, protein derivatives are classified according to the kind of reactive groups involved in the derivatization. 

A very recent research line is the initiation and investigation of chemical reactions at surfaces for the fabrication of oligomeric/polymeric nanostructures from molecular monomers and thereby, going from supramolecular to covalent interactions. The prospect of obtaining molecular structures with improved mechanical stability as well as intermolecular charge transport by interlinking the monomeric units is very exciting. Moreover, there are clear indications that this research field will pave the way toward the realization of robust and functional molecular nanostructures for future applications in (molecular) electronics, sensors, catalysis, and so on.
