Giauque, whose name has already been mentioned in connection with the discovery of the oxygen isotopes, calculated Third Law entropies with the use of the low temperature heat capacities that he measured he also applied statistical mechanics to calculate entropies for comparison with Third Law entropies. Very soon after the discovery of deuterium Urey made statistical mechanical calculations of isotope effects on equilibrium constants, in principle quite similar to the calculations described in Chapter IV. J. Kirkwood s development showing that quantum mechanical statistical mechanics goes over into classical statistical mechanics in the limit of high temperature dates to the 1930s. Kirkwood also developed the quantum corrections to the classical mechanical approximation. 

Two techniques capable of positive identification of both the vanadyl and the vanadium(III) oxidation states are extended X-ray absorption spectroscopy (EXAS) and magnetic susceptibility. EXAS experiments on A. ceratodes yield approximately 95% V(III) and 5% V(IV) (148). A similar distribution, 90% V(III) and 10% V(IV), was found for A. nigra using a superconducting quantum interference device to measure magnetic susceptibility (149). 

In many applications it is often reasonable to suppose that the bath subsystem dynamics causes slow mixing of the quantum subsystem states. If the relevant experimental measurements involve time scales shorter than the quantum subsystem mixing time, one can proceed as if the bath dynamics occurs in a single quantum subsystem state. This is the adiabatic approximation and in this limit (43) can be simplified by making the following substitutions a = j3 (the forward path begins and ends in the same quantum subsystem state), and similarly for the backward path we have a = / . Thus the adiabatic approximation to the correlation function is obtained as... 

A similarly high Voc for ITO/PPV/Al photovoltaic devices also was observed by other groups. Jenekhe et al. [63, 64] report the observation of a quantum efficiency IPCE of 5% in ITO/PPV/Al photodiodes and of a power conversion efficiency of approximately 0.1% under low light intensities of 1 mW/cm. The typical film thickness of their devices was varied between 100 to 600 nm. The open circuit voltage of these devices, as defined with respect to the ITO electrode, was measured as 1.2 V. The high open circuit voltage was explained by the formation of a Schottky barrier at the Al/PPV interface. The predicted band bending due the PPV/Al interface formation was verified by XPS measurements [65, 66]. 

Quantum yield values measured in solution may not necessarily apply to polymer films, the usual environment for practical application of this photochemistry. McKean et al. have adapted the indicator dye method to the measurement of quantum yields for Bronsted acid photogeneration in poly-(4-tert-butoxycarbonyloxystyrene) [20], As with the solution photochemistry of diphenyliodonium salts [71], an inverse dependence of quantum yield on exposure intensity was observed absolute quantum yields from 0.26 to 0.40 were measured at 254 nm, which extrapolate to approximately 0.45 at zero intensity, comparable to the value estimated by Dektar and Hacker [82b] in solution. McKean et al. [20b] note that similar quantum yields in solution and polymer films below Tg have also been reported for photo-Fries rearrangements [84] and photodissociation of diacyl peroxides [85]. 

Bromine nitrate possesses a similar spectrum (Figure 4.51) to that of chlorine nitrate. It is, however, shifted toward slightly longer wavelengths such that the photolysis rate of BrON02 is faster than that of CIONO2. Like chlorine nitrate, the absorption cross sections are temperature dependent. They have been measured in the laboratory by Spencer and Rowland (1978) and more recently by Burkholder et al. (1995). Nickolaisen and Sander (1996) have shown that the quantum yields should be approximately 0.71 for the... 

Numerous values for the fluorescence lifetime and quantum yield have been reported for the 9-phenylxanthyl cation (Table 2). Lifetime values of approximately 27-28 ns have been reported [8,9,11.15,28], whereas measurements in TFA-TFE and for the cation generated on silica gel gave a lifetime of 36-37 ns [10,32]. Similarly, the fluorescence quantum yield is reported as 0.42-0.48 [8,9,15,28], with outlying values of 0.80 and 0.33 in TFA-TFE [10,13]. Trace amounts of water may be responsible for the variation in lifetimes and quantum yields.
