The earliest hint that physics and information might be more than just casually related actually dates back at least as far as 1871 and the publication of James Clerk Maxwell s Theory of Heat, in which Maxwell introduced what has become known as the paradox of Maxwell s Demon. Maxwell postulated the existence of a hypothetical demon that positions himself by a hole separating two vessels, say A and B. While the vessels start out being at the same temperature, the demon selectively opens the hole only to either pass faster molecules from A to B or to pass slower molecules from B to A. Since this results in a systematic increase in B s temperature and a lowering of A s, it appears as though Maxwell s demon s actions violate the second law of thermodynamics the total entropy of any physical system can only increase, or, for totally reversible processes, remain the same it can never decrease. Maxwell was thus the first to recognize a connection between the thermodynamical properties of a gas (temperature, entropy, etc.) and the statistical properties of its constituent molecules. 

This section deals with investigations specifically aimed at producing homopolymers and copolymers of furan carbonyl compounds by the selective opening of the carbonyl bond. The many reports on polymerization of 2-furaldehyde which in fact deal with complicated acid-catalysed resinification reactions which involve both the formyl group and the furan ring are reviewed in Chapter VI.

The highly branched 1,1-dimethylcyclopentane (1,1-DMCP) not only has the highest ON among the four RC isomers, but also some of its RO products have exceptional ON (e.g. the RON of 1,1-dimethylpentane is 92). This product can be obtained by using metal catalysts which selectively open at secondary-secondary C-C bonds. As discussed earlier, Ir/Si02 is best suited for this reaction. 

Seitz and co-workers102 have used Ar3Al and ArMe2Al for the cis -selective opening of 1,2-anhydroarabinose 90, obtaining compound 92 in moderate to good yield (Scheme 30). 

Electron affinities (EAs) are considerably more difficult to calculate than IPs. For example, EAs are much more sensitive to the basis set than the corresponding IPs. The EKT provides also the means for calculation of these magnitudes, but unfortunately the EKT-EA description is often very poor. On the other hand, vertical EAs can be calculated by the energy difference for neutral molecules (M°) and negative ions (M ) E(M°) — E M ) at near-experimental geometries of M°. Table IV lists the obtained vertical EAs for selected open-shell molecules. 

A recent improved preparation of 1,6-epithio- -o-glucose (32) [33] and its selective opening at C-6 with a thioglucose such as (8 a) [34] could be an interesting alternative method for the production of complex thiooligosaecharides since the resulting thiodisaccharide (14f) can act as a donor in 0-glycoside synthesis (Scheme 10).

What reasons are there for mixing polymerizable lipids with natural ones Polymerized membrane systems, especially those based on diacetylenic lipids, have proven to be excessively rigid and to show no phase transition. Addition of natural lipids could help to retain a certain membrane mobility even in the polymerized state, with almost unaffected stability. Furthermore, natural lipids can provide a suitable environment for the incorporation of membrane proteins into polymerizable membranes (see 4.2.3). Besides this, enzymatic hydrolysis of the natural membrane component can be used for selectively opening up a vesicle in order to release entrapped substances in a defined manner (see 4.2.2). Therefore, it is interesting to learn about the miscibility of polymerizable and natural lipids and also about the polymerization behavior of these mixtures. Investigations on this subject have thus far focused on mixtures of natural lipids with polymerizable lipids carrying diacetylene moieties. 

There are several methods to selectively open up closed polymeric membrane compartments in order to release entrapped substances (Fig. 37). For uncorking a polymerized vesicle, its membrane has to contain destabilizable areas which could possibly be opened up by variation of pH 70), temperature increase71), photochemical destabilization 72), or enzymatic processes. Such an enzymatic process is the hydrolysis of a natural phospholipid by phospholipase A2 (Fig. 38). This enzyme cleaves the ester bond in position two of a natural phosphoglyceride producing a lysophospholipid and a fatty acid which are both water soluble. This leads to complete destruction of the membrane.
