Some interesting applications

secondly, in the production of man-made fibres, polymer melts are extruded through many-holed spinnerets, and the hardening threads are quickly woimd up imto drums, i.e. they are stretched. If the extensional viscosity of the still-molten stretched portion of the threads is an increasing function of extension rate, the tendency for the thread to neck and break is inhibited, see the right-hand side of 

For mobile liquids with high extensional viscosities, it is possible to perform the inverted siphon experiment, where the spinnable liquid is sucked out of a surface and the tube drawn up to a suitable height, see figme 29. This is the ultimate demonstration of tension along the streamlines and non-breaking of liquid threads  

The rheology of surfactant (otherwise called detergent) systems is important for such products as 

The particular shape of the micellar structure that forms above the c.m.c is a frmction of the shape of the surfactant molecules involved the electrolytic nature of the water phase and the temperature. Because the tails hate water, the molecules aggregate in such a way as to shield the tails from water by clumping together. There are various shapes that result from this clumping, where the head-groups also line up. 

These structures (which are sometimes called vesicles) are shown schematically in figures 1 - 4, see also 16.5.

Supercritical fluid chromatography employs supercritical fluid instead of gas or liquid to achieve separations. Supercritical fluids generally exist at conditions above atmospheric pressure and at an elevated temperature. As a fluid, the supercritical state generally exhibits properties that are intermediate to the properties of either a gas or a liqiud. Chapter 16 discusses various advantages of SFC over GC and HPLC and also provides some interesting applications. 

It is interesting to note that energy transfer in the rapid diffusion limit is sensitive to the distance of closest approach of the donor and acceptor. Based on this observation, some interesting applications in biology have been described, such as the measurement of the distance at which an acceptor is buried in biological macromolecules and membrane systems. 

Protection of phosphoric esters is particularly required for nucleotide synthesis, where some interesting applications of photosensitive groups. 

The reduction of thiocarbonyl derivatives by EtsSiH can be described as a chain process under forced conditions (Reaction 4.50) [89,90]. Indeed, in Reaction (4.51) for example, the reduction of phenyl thiocarbonate in EtsSiD as the solvent needed 1 equiv of dibenzoyl peroxide as initiator at 110 °C, and afforded the desired product in 91 % yield, where the deuterium incorporation was only 48% [90]. Nevertheless, there are some interesting applications for these less reactive silanes in radical chain reactions. For example, this method was used as an efficient deoxygenation step (Reaction 4.52) in the synthesis of 4,4-difluoroglutamine [91]. 1,2-Diols can also be transformed into olefins using the Barton-McCombie methodology. Reaction (4.53) shows the olefination procedure of a bis-xanthate using EtsSiH [89]. 

Although under canonical radical chain conditions these silanes are poor reducing agents, there are some interesting applications, in particular, using Ph2SiH2 [100]. For example, the reaction of a variety of substituted adamantanes... 

The majority of sequential radical reactions using silanes as mediators for the C—C bond formation deal with (TMS)3SiH. Nevertheless, as we shall see there are some interesting applications using other silanes, too. 

The present chapter reports on the controlled route for the preparation and characterization of bi- and organobimetallic catalysts via SOMC/M techniques, as well as some interesting applications in reactions requiring high activity as well as chemo- and enantioselectivity. 

This chapter begins the optional portion of this book. The previous material was essential to describe chemical reactors. With this chapter we begin to cover some topics that illustrate some of the applications of chemical reaction engineering. Some of this material your instructor may want to skip or skim. However, we suggest that you should still look over this material because it contains some interesting applications that you may need to be aware of for the jobs you will be required to do later in your career. 

Possible applications of ester-homologation reactions. The coproduction of acetic acid and ethyl acetate according to Reaction 4 may find some interesting applications ... 

In this chapter, you find consecutive integers, consecutive even integers, consecutive multiples of fives, and so on. The word problems come in as puzzles to find the first, the middle, or the last in a list of consecutive integers. After an introduction on ways to find the sum of a large number of consecutive numbers, you ll see some interesting applications from seating charts to orchards. 

Firestone and Shell started commercial production of cis-polyisoprene by the anionic process in the 1950 s but these plants are no longer in operation now. About the same time, Phillips started the manufacture of polybutadienes by the anionic route and ever since, there has been a steady growth in their use, particularly in the tire-tread as well as tire-carcass formulations. These solution polybutadienes, generally, have low vinyl contents but recently, Phillips has found some interesting applications for medium vinyl polybutadienes as well.14 Polybutadienes with 50-55 percent vinyl contents behave like emulsion polymerized SBR in tire tread formulations and exhibit very similar tread... 

Some interesting applications of theoretical calculations of 33S shielding constants have been reported in the literature. 

In the literature, it is possible to find some interesting applications for the calculation of the 33S nuclear quadrupole constant. In the following, some examples are described. 

The molecular-level interpretation of gas behaviour given by the kinetic molecular theory helps to explain the macroscopic, or larger picture, properties of gases in the real world. One of the most important properties of gases is their compressibility—how they react to the application of an external force. In the next section, you will observe how gases behave under pressure. Later in this chapter, you will learn about some interesting applications of pressurized gases. 

Even if some interesting applications of the GHF-method had been found in solid-state theory [23,24], the applications to molecular systems were comparativlely few [40]. One major application to molecular systems had been worked out by Fukutome [40], and it was a study of the properties of the polyacetylene by means of the Pariser-Parr-Pople (PPP) approximation. It seemed hence desirable to make a molecular study based on ab-inttU) calculations to verify that one would get similar results and to get some experience in handling general Hartree-Fock orbitals of a complex nature, and for this purpose we started with some simple applications to atoms and to the BH molecule. 

Some interesting applications of oxazoline derivatives in supramolecular chemistry were also described in the literature. Compound 178 was revealed as an efficient receptor for fluorescence sensing of ammonium and organoammonium ions <03OL1419>. Bisoxazoline... 

Finally I shall present some interesting applications of solid state modelling. Zeolites were one of the early success stories and there is still considerable interest in modelling these and related compounds such as ALPOs. Calculations in this area can predict new structures, determine the distribution of different cations over the available sites and throw light on the use of zeolites as catalysts by investigating the interaction of molecules with the framework. 

Using standard enthalpies of formation What is the significance of standard enthalpies of formation How are they used Standard enthalpies of formation provide useful data for calculating the enthalpies of reactions under standard conditions (A//°x ) using Hess s law. Suppose you want to calculate A// for this reaction, in which sulfur hexafluoride is produced. Sulfur hexafluoride is a stable, unreactive gas with some interesting applications, one of which is shown in Figure 16-15. 

In recent years this reaction has frequently been utilized for allylic functionalization and there are some interesting applications in synthesis. In connection with the topic of this chapter only the retro-ene reaction has to be taken into consideration here. 

Due to the ease of dealkylation of r-alkylbenzenes, such as t-butylbenzene, some interesting applications of this process in both the syndietic and mechanistic areas have resulted. The intermediacy of the r-butyl cation was hinted to account for the observed products. Thus, Knight et al obtained excellent yields of pivalic acid by dealkylating r-butylbenzene and 1,3-dimethyl-S-t-butylbenzene in the presence of carbon monoxide and BFs-HaO as the catalyst (equation 120). They also found that H3PO4, H2SO4 and MeSOsH were ineffective for the dealkylation-carbonylation of t-butylbenzene. 

MVP shows some interesting applications such as that from C. albicans MVP, which appears to be an attractive candidate for the development of anti-fungal agents [296]. As far as we could search, not literature records exist on the genetic manipulation of this key enzyme in plant species although fast progress in this research field would likely produce these expected results in the near future. 

The use of alkyne metathesis in organic synthesis is not as extensive as alkene metathesis. Nevertheless, there are some interesting applications that have been reported over the past decade. We will briefly consider a couple of these here. 

Other phospholipases have properties ancillary to the ones displayed by PLD in synthetic applications. Their utility for the synthesis of specific compounds is limited by their modest transesterification capacities. However, there are some interesting applications besides the one cited in Sect. 2.2.1.

Some interesting applications of redox-switchable linkage isomerizations were discussed previously (see Fig. 2). Some other interesting features are described here. Lehn [26], Beer [6, 27], De Santis et al. [28], and Kaifer [29] reviewed... 

The Chandler-Pratt approach has been reviewed extensively before (Chandler ll, so we restrict our attention to some interesting applications. Pratt, Hsu, and Chandler have considered n-butane dissolved in liquid carbon tetrachloride using two different approximations. One is the superposition approximation for the intramolecular structure, while the other is a scheme called the two-cavity model. They conclude that the two-cavity model is the more accurate approximation.
