Equilibria rotational

The relative reactivity of cyclopentadiene and ds-dichloroethylene toward triplet cyclopentadiene was found to be greater than 20 1 while that for cyclopentadiene and trans-dichloroethylene is less than 5 1. Thus the trans isomer is about four times more reactive toward the triplet cyclopentadiene than the cis isomer. An interesting temperature dependence of the product distribution of this reaction has been reported (Table 10.8). The data in Table 10.8 indicate that the relative amount of 1,4 addition [products (39) and (40)] is much more sensitive to temperature than 1,2 addition [products (35)—(38)], especially for the trans-olefin. The data also indicate that some rotation about the CHC1-CHC1 bond occurs in intermediate radicals derived from both cis- and trans-dichloroethylene. However, rotational equilibrium is not established at ring closure since the ratios of ds-dichlorocyclobutanes... 

To provide further information about this process, the kinetics of the rotational equilibrium (29), involving 2-phenylazoresorcinol, were investigated by nmr spectroscopy (Hibbert and Sellens, 1988a). The equilibrium... 

The NOESY experiment has also been very useful for revealing the presence of rotational conformers of dimeric flavonoids and flavone C-glycosides (Figure 2.3). Strong exchange crosspeaks between equivalent protons of each conformer revealed the rotational equilibriums. This NOE phenomenon was first noted by Hatano et al. in two conformers of procyanidin dimers. The volume of the NOESY crosspeaks is related to the distance... 

Since rate constants for bimolecular hydrogen abstraction are in the 104— 106M 1 sec-1 range, the measured rate of any intramolecular reaction of a flexible molecule includes rotational equilibrium constants. This basic aspect of the kinetics was always assumed in early discussions and was not treated explicitly until recently. 

The integrals I0 and /2 arise from a Fourier expansion for hyperbolic cosines of trigonometric argument [45]. With this potential, Parker calculated both the average number of collisions to establish rotational equilibrium, Zf, and that required to establish vibrational equilibrium, Z , as functions of temperature. One finds... 

For example, the standard molar Gibbs energy for the rotational equilibrium (30a) (30b) of chloroacetaldehyde is strongly solvent-dependent, as shown in Table 4-7 [87]. 

Another remarkable example is the medium effect on the rotational equilibrium of ethoxycarbonylmethylene triphenylphosphorane (31a) (31b). As the polarity of the solvent increases, the equilibrium shifts in the direction of the s-trans-isovaev (31b), as shown by the equilibrium constants presented in Table 4-8. 

In equilibrium, the sum of all forces and torques are zero. For bent levers, rotational equilibrium should be considered, which is related to the so-called area moment of inertia. The area moment of inertia (7) measures the beam s ability to resist bending. The larger its value, the less the beam will bend. 

In writing rate equations only for it is tacitly assumed that translational relaxation is instantaneous on the time scale of all the other rate processes. Hence, a well-defined temperature, T, characterizes the translational degrees of freedom of the lasing molecules and all degrees of freedom of the nonlasing species. This heat bath temperature appears as a parameter in the collisional rate constants. It also enters the gain coefficients via the linewidth and in the case of rotational equilibrium mainly via the population inversion. Thus (1) and (2) should be supplemented by a rate equation for T. Additional kinetic equations describe the time dependence of the nonlasing species concentrations. 

The rotational equilibrium assumption implies substantial conceptual and technical simplifications of the kinetic description of chemical lasers. In this section we shall consider the validity and consequences of this assumption and compare the very different lasing mechanisms and efficiencies implied by fast and slow rotational relaxation. 

The physical content of the rotational equilibrium assumption is that rotational (like translational) relaxation is practically instantaneous on the time scale of the other rate processes in the laser cavity including, in... 

In addition to simplifying the population rate equations the rotational equilibrium assumption also leads to fewer photon equations (2). Explicitly, instantaneous rotational relaxation implies that in each vibrational band, 1, there is only one active transition o,1-mj—1, 7 at...

The body will be in a static equilibrium state when at rest or dynamic equilibrium when in motion with constant velocity. The translational equilibrium (first condition) of the body (segment) is present when the vector sum of all the forces acting on a body simultaneously is zero ( F = 0). The rotational equilibrium (second condition) of the body is present when the sum of moments about joint is zero ( M = 0). In other words, for the body to be at rest (zero velocity), the sum of all clockwise moments must be equal to the sum of all counterclockwise moments. 

Saksena et al. [02Sak] have reinvestigated the emission spectra of the electronic transition B IIi - X of the In Cl isotopomer. They observed and analyzed the 1-0, 2-1, 0-0, 0-1, 1-2, 0-2, and 1-3 bands, and obtained the upper-state A-doubling coefficients as well as several rotational equilibrium constants for the first time. Saksena and Deo [OlSak] measured and assigned the rotational stmcture of the 1-0, 2-1, 0-0, 0-1, 1-2, 0-2, and 1-3 bands of In Cl, and 1-0, 0-0, and 0-1 of In Cl of the A IIo - X electronic transition. They report accurate rotational equilibrium parameters.
