From the condition 21a it immediately follows that if the clathrate is formed in the presence of a number of compounds which are potential solutes, i.e., sufficiently small to have 0 for some i, all these compounds contribute to its stability. As has already been pointed out by Barrer and Stuart4 this at once explains the stabilizing influence of "Hilfsgase" such as air, C02, or H2S on the formation of gas hydrates discussed by Villard49 and von Stackelberg and Meinhold.47 If there is only one solute, Eq. 21a with the = sign determines the minimum vapor pressure fiA necessary to make the clathrate stable relative to Qa. Since all cavities contribute to the stabilization, one cannot say that this minimum pressure is controlled by a specific type of cavity. 

The factor19 (1 — A)1/2 ensures a zero result if nA is already unity— we cannot add another particle to that state. The factor (— 1 ) - is the alternating sign determined by the number of particles in the system below the state A ... 

If the hfs of the nucleus under consideration is not resolved in the EPR spectrum, all nuclear spin states are simultaneously saturated and a sign determination using ENDOR line intensities is not possible. In this case the relative signs may sometimes be determined from second order hf contributions. This method has been applied by DuVarney and Spaeth74) to determine the sign of the 41K electric quadrupole moment using F centres in KC1. 

Sign determinations with the aid of more sophisticated ENDOR techniques will be discussed in the following section. 

Determination of relative signs of hyperfine interactions. In contrast to the sign determination by DOUBLE ENDOR, spin decoupling can also be applied if the ENDOR signals have no significant transient components (Sect. 4.3). 

There are an even number of lattice points equispaced on a ring, which are represented by the integers 1,2,..., A. The restriction U — v = 1 limits the summation to nearest neighbor contributions, and since A is periodic the identity A + 1 = 1 holds. Along a bond the pairs interact through an electrostatic force the magnitude and sign determined by the coefficient oce- The...

The spectra are clearer in substituted compounds, especially in para-and poly-substituted aromatic systems. In the former case sign determination is feasible and McFarlane has obtained the values for some typical compounds as shown in Table XXII the data (without signs) for the tris(4-fluorophenyl)phosphine oxide are also included. 

The interest in considering such couplings in relation to the nature of P-P bonds has been discussed by Cowley in an earlier review.<1965,26) Since then a considerable amount of experimental data has been obtained and sign determination on typical compounds has revealed another interesting fact, namely that sign reversal occurs in this one-bond coupling depending upon the hybridisation of phosphorus and possibly upon the substituents. As mentioned earlier (Section III.A) this has prompted some theoreticians to consider this problem in detail. 

The frequency of modulation il is now the main parameter, and we are able to switch the system of SHG between different dynamics by changing the value of il. To find the regions of where a chaotic motion occurs, we calculate a Lyapunov spectrum versus the knob parameter il. The first Lyapunov exponent A,j from the spectrum is of the greatest importance its sign determines the chaos occurrence. The maximal Lyapunov exponent Xj as a function of is presented for GCL in Fig. 6a and for BCL in Fig. 6b. We see that for some frequencies il the system behaves chaotically (A-i > 0) but orderly Ck < 0) for others. The system in the second case is much more damped than in the first case and consequently much more stable. By way of example, for = 0.9 the system of SHG becomes chaotic as illustrated in Fig. 7a, showing the evolution of second-harmonic and fundamental mode intensities. The phase point of the fundamental mode draws a chaotic attractor as seen in the phase portrait (Fig. 7b). However, the phase point loses its chaotic features and settles into a symmetric limit cycle if we change the frequency to = 1.1 as shown in Fig. 8b, while Fig. 8a shows a seven-period oscillation in intensities. To avoid transient effects, the evolution is plotted for 450 < < 500. 

The full usefulness of the classification using V Pb must await the development of the quantum mechanical aspects of the theory. The Laplacian of the charge density appears in the local expression of the virial theorem and it is shown that its sign determines the relative importance of the local contributions of the potential and kinetic energies to the total energy of the system, A full discussion of this topic is given in Section 7.4. 

The electrostatic interaction (Eq. 5) (4) is described by assigning a fractional charge ( q to each atom, the sign determines whether the atom in the molecular arrangement has an excess or deficiency of electrons compared with the neutral atom. These charges are usually determined from molecular-orbital calculations (7), where D is the dielectric constant. 

Rule 1. For each distinct combination m mi, Xj, the combination mechanism is m,. = hj k l kj b d it is reversible (m ). Rule 2. For each mi Zj and each m Xj, the mechanism - m,. must be constructed according to the sign of i,j, because the sign determines whether we need to reverse the mechanism m, and we must ensure that the coefficient that multiples is positive. Thus... 

The signs of 3/c-i,c-6 and 3Jc-3,c-6 coupling constants have been assumed to be positive and were used to determine the relative signs of 2Jq-i,c-3 and 2Jc-i,c s by application of a 13C-13C COSY-45 method to triply 13C-substituted, D-aldopyranoses.113 These sign determinations provided experimental confirmation of the relative signs of 2/Ccc and 2Jcoc predicted by an empirical, projection resultant method.114,115...
