The Tm valence, as a function of x in TnixSe shown in Fig. 150, is calculated from lattice constants assuming Vegard behavior by a linear interpolation using a = 5.63 A for Tm Se and 5.97 A for (hypothetical) Tm Se, Kaldis, Fritzler [12, p. 115], Fritzler, Kaldis [13]. Some selected numerical values of the approximate average Tm valence v as a function of the lattice constant a and x in Tm Se  

An average valence of v = 2.83 is derived for nearly stoichiometric TmSe from the lattice constant and v = 2.62 from the effective magnetic moment, Kobler et al. [16]. The value v = 2.62 is also deduced from the X-ray Lm absorption spectrum by Bianconi etal. [5, 17, 18], and v = 2.6 0.08 from bremsstrahlung isochromat spectroscopy (BIS) by Oh, Allen [19]. A value of v = 2.62 0.15 is obtained for the same crystal (Tm osSe, a = 5.715 A) by resonant-photoemission spectroscopy with use of synchrotron radiation in the soft X-ray region (70 to 200 eV) and constant-final-state technique (CFS), Oh et al. [41]. The valence v = 2.77 is obtained from the lattice constant and 2.46 or 2.58 from magnetic data between 77 and 300 K or 400 and 800 K, respectively, Holtzberg et al. [20]. These values are nearly confirmed for TmSe with a = 5.713 A 

A comparison of the results of X-ray photoemission spectra (XPS) with other data on the average valence suggests that the XPS data are significantly affected by a divalent surface layer. Valences from lattice constants, Viat, and from XPS studies, Vxps, as a function of the lattice constant a are

The iron slurries show exceptional reactivity toward oxidative addition reactions with carbon halogen bonds. In fact, the reaction with C.FcI is so exothermic that the slurry has to be cooled to 0 °C before the addition of C F L The reaction of iron with C F Br is also quite exothermic, hence, even for this addition, the iron slurry is cooled to about 0 ° C. The organoiron compound formed in the above reactions, solvated Fe(C.F )2, reacts with CO at room temperature and ambient pressure to yiela Fe(C,F3)2(CO)2(DMEL. 

Click chemistry refers to the reaction between an azido functional group and an alkyne to form a [3 + 2] cycloaddition product, a 5-membered triazole ring. This reaction has been used for many years in organic synthesis to form heterocyclic rings. Normally, the click reaction requires high temperatures, and this was the main reason that it was not used as a bioconjugation tool. However, it was discovered that in aqueous solutions and in the presence of Cu(I), the reaction kinetics are dramatically accelerated to provide high yields even at room temperature and ambient pressures (Rostovtsev et al., 2002 Tornoe et al., 2002 Sharpless et al., 2005). 

Intriguing forms of competition between superconductivity and ferromagnetism have recently been reported for the elements carbon and iron, where the two cooperative phenomena are related to different crystallographic structures. As discussed in section 1.1 pristine C60 consisting of dominantly van der Waals bounded molecules becomes superconducting if doped by electrons or holes. On the other hand, under sufficiently high pressure and temperature, a layered rhombohedral structure of Cft) forms where, within the layers, the C60 molecules are covalently bound. This phase is metastable at room temperature and ambient pressure. It shows a spontaneous magnetization, which is assumed to be based on unpaired electrons created by structure defects (Makarova et al. 2001 Xu and Scuseria 1995). 

Apart from the atomic noble gases, elemental substances may be classified as metallic or covalent, according to their structures and properties at room temperature and ambient pressure. Covalent elemental substances may be subdivided as molecular or non-molecular, the latter category including one-, two- or three-dimensional structures. There is a grey area between the extremes of the three-dimensional covalent structure and the typical metal semi-metallic or metalloid behaviour is found in a number of cases. Even iodine, prima facie a molecular solid, has incipient metallic properties. In this section, we explore this grey area and consider the factors that determine which type... 

The conversion of dinitrogen to ammonia is one of the important processes of chemistry. Whereas the technical ammonia synthesis requires high temperature and pressure (1), this reaction proceeds at room temperature and ambient pressure in nature, mediated by the enzyme nitrogenase (2). There is evidence that N2 is bound and reduced at the iron-molybdenum cofactor (FeMoco), a unique Fe/Mo/S cluster present in the MoFe protein of nitrogenase. Although detailed structural information on nitrogenase has been available for some time (3), the mechanism of N2 reduction by this enzyme is still unclear at the molecular level. Nevertheless, it is possible to bind and reduce dinitrogen at simple mono- and binuclear transition-metal systems which allow to obtain mechanistic information on elemental steps involved... 

In the example with aniline, the aniline vapor was provided by the equilibrium vapor liquid aniline. Vapor-phase intercalation can be done with compounds that are gases at room temperature and ambient pressure. The most common gas used for intercalation reactions is ammonia. Ammonia intercalation can be accomplished by exposing a host to the vapor generated by a concentrated aqueous ammonia solution. This multi-component vapor containing NH3(g), IfeOQj),...

Since the chosen pressure of 1 bar represents the selected standard state, we designate the standard molar enthalpy of pure i at temperature T by the symbol = 0. However, the asterisk is ordinarily omitted, it being understood that element i is in its pure state. One must be careful in the application of this rule for example, the stable configuration of carbon at room temperature and ambient pressure is graphite, not diamond. In the same vein, sulfur under these conditions is stable in the rhombic habit, and Sn, in the white rather than the grey crystalline state. As another example, Br2 at P = 1 bar and 300 K is a liquid, while as a participant in reactions at 500 K Br2 is in the gaseous state. 

The Raman spectra of different [C4mim][C1] ion pair conformers differed considerably when recorded at room temperature and ambient pressure, which prompted Chang et al. to carry out DFT calculations and measurements applying pressure [38], B3LYP/6-31+G calculations with a scaling factor for the calculated frequencies of 0.955 indicated that the methyl and butyl C-H groups are suitable proton donor sites. 

CFC 11 previously played an important role in the manufacturing process by facilitating the preparation of a concentrate at room temperatures and ambient pressures [2], There were several technical advantages of manufacturing with nonpressurized systems [3]. 

Cohesive Energies. The bulk phases of the nA, nP, and nT series are characterized by the so-called herringbone packing where two inequivalent molecules in the ab plane form layers perpendicular to the crystallographic c direction. At room temperature and ambient pressure the space group of the considered molecular crystals is monoclinic, except for tetracene (4A) and pentacene (5A) which crystallize in a triclinic space group. 

SC-CO2 is attractive as extraction medium because of its high diflusivity combined with its high (and easily tunable) solvent strength. Another advantage of SC-CO2 is that it is gaseous at room temperature and ambient pressure, which makes product (or analyte) recovery fairly simple. Furthermore, the CO2 can be easily recycled as the solutes dissolved in the SC-CO2 will precipitate upon depressurization. 

Sulfonyl-2-pyrones. Based on the NMR chemical shift data in Table 1, 3-arylsulfonyl-2-pyrones were expected to cycloadd to electron-rich dienophiles, such as vinyl ethers. Pyrone sulfone 47 underwent cycloaddition to ethyl vinyl ether at room temperature and ambient pressure in the absence of Lewis acid to give cycloadduct 48 in excellent yield. For steric and electronic reasons, it was expected... 

Recently, synthesis of semiconductor nanorods (nanowires or nanoflbers) and investigation of their properties have aroused much interest. Ge et al. (2002) showed that irradiation technique can be very useful in this regard as well. Cadmium sulfide (CdS) nanorods were successfully prepared by y-irradiation at room temperature and ambient pressure using urea as the template. X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern showed that the phase of the product was hexagonal. The mean diameter of the nanorods was about 40 nm and the length was up to about 100 nm. The ratio between the length and the width is as high as 5 2. More importantly, they demonstrated that the successful obtainment of nanorods was determined by not only the presence of urea in the system but also the crystallization rate of urea from the solution. 

Hydrazine hydrate is the key material for the preparation of this type of explosive. Hydrazine dinitrate has to be first prepared following the production of hydrazine nitrate through the recrystallization of hydrazine hydrate. As shown in Fig. 7.6, the preparation involves nitric acid 65 % and hydrazine hydrate 50 %, of which an equimolar mixture in methanol stirred at room temperature and ambient pressure. Upon the reaction, the mixture is aged and filtered before white hydrazine dinitrate precipitation is received. Adding hydrazine hydrate 85 % then leads to the dissolution of precipitation. Tuning the solution to a PH level of 8 can induce recrystallization at temperatures lower than 10 °C where white needle Uke or rod like hydrazine nitrate. 

Typically the gel is poured in the bottom of a U-shaped tube. Then solutions of the reactants are poured into the vertical parts of the U-shaped tube and allowed to slowly diffuse at room temperature and ambient pressure. The gel can be either a physical gel such as agarose or a chemical gel such as silica gel.
