For succinic anhydride, the enthalpies of combustion and sublimation have been reported (24). 

Ozokerite and Geresin Waxes. 02okerite wax [8001-75-0] was a product of Poland, Austria, and in the former USSR where it was mined. Tme o2okerite no longer seems to be an article of commerce, and has been replaced with blends of petroleum-derived paraffin and microcrystalHne waxes. These blends are designed to meet the specific physical properties required by the appHcation involved. 

This type of design problem is somewhat different from others in that the unit is made from standardized sections that have specific physical properties and are available in only a limited number of thicknesses and configurations. The design problem now consists of trying the available materials in the structure... 

Dendrimer chemistry has taught us that these molecules create a nano-sized closed space that, presumably, is the origin of the specific physical properties of this class of materials. As the next stage of dendrimer chemistry, a macromolecule capable of creating such a space inside its molecule is proposed. To create the nano-sized space, porphyrin is considered to be the best candidate for the component molecules, because it has versatile properties associated with its expanded 7i-electron system and the incorporated metal. The resultant multi-detectable properties of porphyrin, that is, a number of its properties are detectable by many physical methods, may reveal the function of the nanometer-sized space. 

In this section those references that contain comprehensive compilations of physical property data are reviewed. Sources of data on specific physical properties are given in the remaining sections of the chapter. 

Physical Methods of Analysis The physical methods of analysis are based on measuring some specific physical property of a component of a sample that serves to ascertain its nature and/or its the relative amount in the sample. Such methods, most of which have been made possible only by modern developments in physics and electronics, make up the main source of analytical information on all substances at the present time (see Table 9 and Textbox 10) (Settle 1997). 

The presence of chemically reactive structural features in potential drug candidates, especially when caused by metabolism, has been linked to idiosyncratic toxicity [56,57] although in most cases this is hard to prove unambiguously, and there is no evidence that idiosyncratic toxicity is correlated with specific physical properties per se. The best strategy for the medicinal chemist is avoidance of the liabilities associated with inherently chemically reactive or metabolically activated functional groups [58]. For reactive metabolites, protein covalent-binding screens [59] and genetic toxicity tests (Ames) of putative metabolites, for example, embedded anilines, can be employed in risky chemical series. 

Many zwitterionic organometallic compounds (betaines) are known in which positively and negatively charged centers of different nature are separated by various spacer groups. Substances of this type always exhibit the pronounced specific physical properties and high and unusual reactivity. Several types of organometallic betaines have been reviewed recently.1 4... 

Some of the compounds described in this chapter were studied for specific physical properties. Surface tension measurements with solutions of 9-16 in 0.01 M hydrochloric acid demonstrated that these zwitterionic X5Si-silicates are highly efficient surfactants.21 These compounds contain a polar (zwitterionic) hydrophilic moiety and a long lipophilic z-alkyl group. Increase of the n-alkyl chain length (9-15) was found to result in an increase of surface activity. The equilibrium surface tension vs concentration isotherms for 9 and 16 were analyzed quantitatively and the surface thermodynamics of these surfactants interpreted on the molecular level. Furthermore, preliminary studies demonstrated that aqueous solutions of 9-16 lead to a hydrophobizing of glass surfaces.21... 

The foundation of equilibrium-selective adsorption is based on differences in the equilibrium selectivity of the various adsorbates with the adsorbent While all the adsorbates have access to the adsorbent sites, the specific adsorbate is selectively adsorbed based on differences in the adsorbate-adsorbent interaction. This in turn results in higher adsorbent selectivity for one component than the others. One important parameter that affects the equilibrium-selective adsorption mechanism is the interaction between the acidic sites of the zeolite and basic sites of the adsorbate. Specific physical properties of zeolites, such as framework structure, choice of exchanged metal cations, Si02/Al203 ratio and water content can be... 

The chemistry of the closest relative of hydrocarbon 1- methylenecyclopropane (2) - has recently been reviewed extensively [2]. The presence of the second three-membered ring in 1 strongly increases the total strain of this molecule, this enhances its chemical reactivity and leads to specific physical properties. The meanwhile large variety of experimental material obtained for compound 1, some of its derivatives and analogs prompted us to summarize the results in order to help set the stage for future developments. 

It is clearly desirable to see if the total curve can be de-convoluted into parts that can be identified with a specific physical property so that trends can be established for the many cases where data for metastable structures are not experimentally accessible. In principle, the TC lattice stability of an element in a specified crystal structure 0 relative to the standard state a can be comprehensively expressed as follows (Kaufman and Bernstein 1970) ... 

So how accurate are DFT calculations It is extremely important to recognize that despite the apparent simplicity of this question, it is not well posed. The notion of accuracy includes multiple ideas that need to be considered separately. In particular, it is useful to distinguish between physical accuracy and numerical accuracy. When discussing physical accuracy, we aim to understand how precise the predictions of a DFT calculation for a specific physical property are relative to the true value of that property as it would be measured in a (often hypothetical) perfect experimental measurement. In contrast, numerical accuracy assesses whether a calculation provides a well-converged numerical solution to the mathematical problem defined by the Kohn-Sham (KS) equations. If you perform DFT calculations, much of your day-to-day...

The first part of the chapter reviews progress in the synthesis of monodisperse semiconductor NCs and gives a basic introduction to their specific physical properties. In conformity with the literature, the term monodisperse is used here to describe colloidal samples, in which the standard deviation of the particle diameter does not exceed 5%. Throughout the text we will restrict ourselves to the description of binary II-VI (CdSe, CdS, CdTe, ZnSe, etc.), III-V (InP, InAs), and IV-VI (PbS, PbSe, PbTe) semiconductor NCs. These systems exhibit optical properties that can be varied in the visible part of the spectrum, the near UV or near IR by changing the NC size and/or composition. 

Modern paper often contains chemicals that enhance its appearance, reduce its pH (acidify), and give it specific physical properties. Many of these additives can affect the way paper reacts to light, humidity, and other environmental factors. 

The lipase-catalyzed interesterification process can be used for the production of triacylglycerols with specific physical properties, and it also opens up possibilities for making so-called structured lipids. An example is a triacylglycerol that carries an essen-... 

The predicted behaviour of individual liquid metals depends on their specific physical properties, such as those listed in Table 10.1 for Hg and a number of solder and braze metals and alloy solvents. Substitution of these values into... 

It is customary to say that under the same external conditions all specimens of a particular substance have the same specific physical properties (density, hardness, color melting point, crystalline form, etc.). Sometimes, however, the word substance is used in referring to a material without regard to its state of aggregation for example, ice, liquid water, and water vapor may be referred to as the same substance. Moreover, a specimen containing crystals of rock salt and crystals of table salt may be called a mixture, even though the specimen may consist entirely of the one chemical substance sodium chloride. This lack of definiteness in usage seems to cause no confusion in practice.
