Structural analysis of the homopolymers by spectroscopic methods confirmed that the diynes had undergone [2 + 2 + 2] polycyclotrimerizations by forming new benzene rings from their acetylenic triple bonds. The ratio of the 1,2,4- to 1,3,5-isomers of the trisubstituted benzene rings was estimated to be 2.2 1. Careful evaluation of the 111 NMR spectra unveiled that the number of terminal triple bonds in the final hb-PAs was much smaller than that in an ideal hyperbranched structure produced by the diyne polycyclotrimer-ization. This result suggests that intra-sphere ring formation might have been involved in the cyclotrimerization polymerization. 

The packing material under consideration consists of 2.5 cm Pall rings. The estimated HETP is 45 cm and the packing factor, F= 170 m per cubic meter of packing (Vital et al., 1984 Eckert, 1975). The equivalent number of equilibrium stages, including the condenser and reboiler, is... 

Estimating FN-curves now requires only two figures per dike ring an estimate of the probability of flood, and an estimate of the average number of fatalities in a flood ... 

Smoke point is an important property, and it may be estimated from such properties as Characterization Factor, gravity, or even viscosity by means of Tables 4-21 and 4-22 or from hydrocarbon structure. Viscosity assumes importance ihiainly because it is used in determining the so-called Ring Number ... 

For polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), rate constants were highly dependent on the number of chlorine atoms, and calculated atmospheric lifetimes varied from 2 d for 3-chlorobiphenyl to 34 d for 236-25 pentachlorobiphenyl (Anderson and Hites 1996). It was estimated that loss by hydroxy-lation in the atmosphere was a primary process for the removal of PCBs from the environment. It was later shown that the products were chlorinated benzoic acids produced by initial reaction with a hydroxyl radical at the 1-position followed by transannular dioxygenation at the 2- and 5-positions followed by ring fission (Brubaker and Hites 1998). Reactions of hydroxyl radicals with polychlorinated dibenzo[l,4]dioxins and dibenzofurans also play an important role for their removal from the atmosphere (Brubaker and Hites 1997). The gas phase and the particulate phase are in equilibrium, and the results show that gas-phase reactions with hydroxyl radicals are important for the... 

These end groups were removed by cleaving the C-N bond with a strong base (25% NaOH) so that the CD rings may slip off the polymer chains, and the number of CDs per polyrotaxane was estimated by H NMR, optical rotation, and UV absorption to be 12. This figure indicates that nearly the entire length of the 28 mer PEG chain was covered with CDs, because, as repeatedly noted above, the stoichiometric ratio for the complexation between PEG and a-CD is 2.
