Solution Deposition of Thin Films. Chemical methods of preparation may also be used for the fabrication of ceramic thin films (qv). MetaHo-organic precursors, notably metal alkoxides (see Alkoxides, metal) and metal carboxylates, are most frequently used for film preparation by sol-gel or metallo-organic decomposition (MOD) solution deposition processes (see Sol-GEL technology). These methods involve dissolution of the precursors in a mutual solvent control of solution characteristics such as viscosity and concentration, film deposition by spin-casting or dip-coating, and heat treatment to remove volatile organic species and induce crystaHhation of the as-deposited amorphous film into the desired stmcture. 

The solvent plays an important role in the performance of rubber base adhesives. The solvent is the carrier for all components of the adhesive. Furthermore, the solvent controls the viscosity, open time, tack and adhesion of rubber base adhesives. 

If HMPA is included in the solvent, the Z-enolate predominates.236,238 DMPU also favors the Z-enolate. The switch to the Z-enolate with HMPA or DMPU is attributed to a looser, perhaps acyclic TS being favored as the result of strong solvation of the lithium ion. The steric factors favoring the -TS are therefore diminished.239 These general principles of solvent control of enolate stereochemistry are applicable to other systems.240 For example, by changing the conditions for silyl ketene acetal formation, the diastereomeric compounds 17a and 17b can be converted to the same product with high diastereoselectivity.241... 

Methoxypurine was found to crystallize as a hemihydrate from /V,/V -dimethyl formamide, and as a trihydrate from water [63]. Thermal treatment of the trihydrate could be used to obtain the hemihydrate. Zafirlukast was obtained in the form of monohydrate, methanol, and ethanol solvatomorphs, with the drug substance adopting a similar conformation in all three structures [64], In the isostructural methanol and ethanol solvates, the solvent molecules are hydrogen-bonded to two zafirlukast molecules, while in the monohydrate, the water molecules are hydrogen-bonded to three zafirlukast molecules. The structures of the acetone and isopropanol solvatomorphs of brucine have been reported, where the solvent controlled the self-assembly of brucine on the basis of common donor-acceptor properties [65],... 

To what extent is the partitioning of simple aliphatic and benzylic a-CH-substituted carbocations in nucleophilic solvents controlled by the relative thermodynamic driving force for proton transfer and nucleophile addition reactions It is known that the partitioning of simple aliphatic carbocations favors the formation of nucleophile adducts (ksjkp > 1, Scheme 2) and there is good evidence that this reflects, at least in part, the larger thermodynamic driving force for the nucleophilic addition compared with the proton transfer reaction of solvent (A dd U Scheme 6).12 21,22,24... 

A review is given of the relationships between coatings, regulations and the environment. Mention is made of classification and labelling, the dangerous substances directive, the dangerous preparations directive, market restrictions, occupational exposure limits, and solvent controls. 11 refs. 

The following additions are made to each tube of top agar the test article (or solvent control) in solution (10-200 pi), the test strain (100 pi) and, where necessary, S9 mix (500 pi). The test is carried out in the presence and absence of S9 mix. The exact volume of test article or solvent may depend on toxicity or solubility, as described in the preceding section. 

Mix and pour onto dried Vogel and Bonner minimal medium plates as in an Ames test, including an untreated control and a solvent control, if necessary. The final concentrations of test compound will be 5000, 1500, 500, 150 and 50 pg... 

The highest concentration which does not increase the osmolality of the medium to greater than 400mmolkg 1 or 100mmol above the value for the solvent control. 

A complete assay requires the test material to be investigated at a minimum of three doses together with a positive (untreated) and solvent-only control can be omitted if tissue culture medium is used as a solvent. When two fixation times are used in repeat tests, the positive control is necessary at only one time but the negative or solvent control is necessary at both times. 

In the excited state, the redistribution of electrons can lead to localized states with distinct fluorescence spectra that are known as intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) states. This process is dynamic and coupled with dielectric relaxations in the environment [16]. This and other solvent-controlled adiabatic excited-state reactions are discussed in [17], As shown in Fig. 1, the locally excited (LE) state is populated initially upon excitation, and the ICT state appears with time in a process coupled with the reorientation of surrounding dipoles. 

The solvent-controlled differential reactivity was also applied to the intramolecular photoaddition of 36 and 37 (equations 11 and 12)45,46. 

All aqueous solutions or suspensions were prepared by adding insecticide in 0.5 ml of acetone to 500 ml of conditioned tap water and vigorously shaking the capped container. New acetone solutions of insecticide were prepared for each experiment. Each assay contained untreated controls and solvent controls. 

Nelsen et al. (2007) have revealed one more aspect of solvent control over charge localization. Solvents with marked electron-donor properties contribute to charge localization in cation-radicals, whereas anion-radicals experience the same changes in better electron-accepting solvents. Thus, naked (non-ion-paired) anion-radicals of 4,4 -dinitrostilbene and 4,4 -dinitrotolane show the spectra of delocalized species in HMPA and THF, but essentially spectra of localized species in DMF, DMSO, and MeCN. 

Thus, the 1-naphthyl acetate activity from the cigarette beetle yeast does have properties, especially the solvent stability, that are likely to promote use for decontamination of lipophilic toxins. In addition, this activity (and in some cases additional molecular forms detected by gel electrophoresis) can be stimulated (based on higher activity relative to solvent controls) by malathion,...

For each experiment a positive and negative control are included. The solvent control is used as a negative control. There should be no inhibition of differentiation caused by the solvent control. 5-FU, which is known to inhibit cardiomyo-cyte differentiation, is used as a positive control. In a preliminary experiment the concentration of 5-FU at which 50% of the differentiation is inhibited (ID50) needs to be determined and must always be included in a test, to establish the response of the assay. 

One should not place too much faith in what appears to be excellent agreement between calculations and experiment in a particular case (or be discouraged too much by what might appear to be complete disagreement in another). The important point to make is that computational tools have a role to play in engineering solvent control over reactions, and that these tools will become more and more adept in fulfilling this role.

The heterocycles react directly with alkali metals or undergo exchange reactions with, for example, sodium amide and hydride, n-butyllithium and thallium ethoxide, to form the TV-heteroaryl salts. The salts of the alkali metals exist as solvent separated ion-pairs or as contact ion-pairs (71JOC3091), as do the quaternary ammonium salts, whereas the salts of the heavier metals are generally considered to have a high N—metal covalent character. These characteristics, which can be modified by a change in the polarity of the solvent, control the reactions of the heteroaryl anions.
