Some Special Topics

In the sections below a brief overview of static solvent influences is given in A3.6.2, while in A3.6.3 the focus is on the effect of transport phenomena on reaction rates, i.e. diflfiision control and the influence of friction on intramolecular motion. In A3.6.4 some special topics are addressed that involve the superposition of static and transport contributions as well as some aspects of dynamic solvent effects that seem relevant to understanding the solvent influence on reaction rate coefficients observed in homologous solvent series and compressed solution. More comprehensive accounts of dynamics of condensed-phase reactions can be found in chapter A3.8. chapter A3.13. chapter B3.3. chapter C3.1. chapter C3.2 and chapter C3.5. 

Therefore this Volume 5B is in some way an experiment which is reasonable as many would be interested in the 31P data without necessarily wishing to have Volume 5A. This will become especially evident on inspection of the Compound Indices which are exhaustive and basically forming a catalogue of some hundred and ninety pages giving data on various phosphorus compounds. Comments on this new move would be most welcome and it may be more convenient in future years to run the second part of each volume on some special topic such as 19F or 31P resonance studies which, by virtue of the nature of the investigations, tends to become a vast catalogue. 

D. M. P. Mingos, Essential Trends in Inorganic Chemistry, Oxford University Press, Oxford, 1998. A new look at trends in physical and chemical properties of the elements and their compounds. This is a general text that would cover the material of most university courses in inorganic chemistry apart from some specialized topics, but is recommended here for the sections on atomic and molecular structure. 

Some Special Topics Solvation, Singlet Diradicals, A Note on Heavy Atoms and Transition Metals... 

Since chemical thermodynamics and chemical kinetics are vast domains of science, we will select some special topics, viz. calculation of free enthalpies of reactions from group contributions and thermodynamics of free radical formation. 

Wettability, J.C. Berg, Ed., Surfactant Series 49, Marcel Dekker (1993). (Covers most themes of this chapter plus some special topics.)... 

The Pd- or Ni-catalyzed aryl-aryl coupling as of several years ago was comprehensively reviewed [78]. Some special topics highlighted in these reviews include... 

The chemical aspects of coumarin chemistry have recently been comprehensively summarized. In view of the availability of this treatise it appears useful here to focus on some special topics in coumarin chemistry where outstanding problems remain in an attempt to identify those research areas which might benefit by further work. 

Rather than attempting to give a complete discussion of the whole subject, Professor de Gennes has concentrated on some special topics. 

Volume 4 is concerned with the general chemistry of the lanthanides and some special topics in transition metal chemistry. 

This article covers the use of acoustics as a molecular probe of polymer structure and describes various acoustic applications of polymers. Enough theory and experimental details are given to make the presentation understandable, but the emphasis is on the experimental results for polymers. Most of the presentation is for small-amplitude waves in solid polymers. References to some specialized topics are given. 

This chapter presents information about three diverse topics relevant to cyclone technology thus the title, Some special topics . Two of the topics are related to the gas velocity in the separator cyclone erosion and the critical deposition velocity. The last topic is the working of cyclones or swirl tubes under conditions of high vacuum.
