The orientation of Cu3Si relative to the Si(100) face did correlate to rate and selectivity a random orientation gave the best results. One study found that the reaction was inhibited by a Si02 layer65 and a second study found no such inhibition66. SEM analysis of several surfaces after reaction with MeCl showed square reaction pits.

A complete analysis of the square scheme is complex since disproportionation and/or other second-order cross-redox reactions have to be taken into consideration. However, the limiting cases of the square scheme are much more tractable. An interesting aspect of the square reaction scheme is that, in principle, it applies to all one-electron processes with reaction steps A+ B+ and A B coupled to the heterogeneous charge transfer. For example, the redox-induced hapticity change, which accompanies the reduction of Ru( j - CeMee), has been proposed [113] to be responsible for the apparently slow rate of electron transfer. That is, the limiting case of an apparent overall Einev process is observed for what in reality is a square scheme mechanism.

Analogous results were obtained with cis-W. A schematic diagram that illustrates the principal processes believed to be involved in the oxidation of microparticles of cw-Mn or cA-W adhered to an electrode surface in contact with an ionic liquid is provided in Fig. 14.13. The mechanism is now considerably more complicated than for the previously described systems, as dissolved electrogenerated species Oxl (ionic liquid), now undergoes a square reaction scheme. Nevertheless, despite the greater complexity in the ECE reaction mechanism, the voltammetry of adhered microparticles method can be used to determine the relevant thermodynamic and kinetic parameters when step C is a first-order homogeneous reaction, as applies in the case of an isomerization reaction.

INORGANIC COMPLEXES. The cis-trans isomerization of a planar square form of a rt transition metal complex (e.g., of Pt " ) is known to be photochemically allowed and themrally forbidden [94]. It was found experimentally [95] to be an inhamolecular process, namely, to proceed without any bond-breaking step. Calculations show that the ground and the excited state touch along the reaction coordinate (see Fig. 12 in [96]). Although conical intersections were not mentioned in these papers, the present model appears to apply to these systems. 

A somewhat different type of high pressure reaction vessel is illustrated in Figs. VI, 4, 3-5. This is designed for hydrogenation reactions at working pressures from 1 to 300 atmospheres (4,500 lb. per square inch) and at temperatures from atmospheric up to 400°. Fig. VI, 4, 3... 

Hydrogenations with coppcr-chromium oxide catalyst are usually carried out in the liquid phase in stainless steel autoclaves at pressures up to 5000-6000 lb. per square inch. A solvent is not usually necessary for hydrogenation of an ester at 250° since the original ester and the alcohol or glycol produced serve as the reaction medium. However, when dealing with small quantities and also at temperatures below 200° a solvent is desirable this may be methyl alcohol, ethyi alcohol, dioxan or methylcyc/ohexane. 

Evans and co-workers investigated the effect of a number of -symmetric bis(oxazoline) ligands on the copper(II)-catalysed Diels-Alder reaction of an N-acyloxazolidinone with cyclopentadiene. Enantiomeric excesses of up to 99% have been reported (Scheme 3.4). Evans et al." suggested transition state assembly 3.7, with a square planar coordination environment around the central copper ion. In this scheme the dienophile should be coordinated predominantly in an cisoid fashion in... 

The effects of these ligands on the second-order rate constants for the Cu (ligand) catalysed reaction of Ic with 2 are modest In contrast, the effects on IC2 are more pronounced. The aliphatic Oramino acids induce an approximately two-fold reduction of Iv relative to for the Cu" aquo ion. For the square planar coordinated copper ions this effect is expected on the basis of statistics. The bidentate ligands block half the sites on the copper centre. 

The rate of a process is expressed by the derivative of a concentration (square brackets) with respect to time, d[ ]/dt. If the concentration of a reaction product is used, this quantity is positive if a reactant is used, it is negative and a minus sign must be included. Also, each derivative d[ ]/dt should be divided by the coefficient of that component in the chemical equation which describes the reaction so that a single rate is described, whichever component in the reaction is used to monitor it. A rate law describes the rate of a reaction as the product of a constant k, called the rate constant, and various concentrations, each raised to specific powers. The power of an individual concentration term in a rate law is called the order with respect to that component, and the sum of the exponents of all concentration terms gives the overall order of the reaction. Thus in the rate law Rate = k[X] [Y], the reaction is first order in X, second order in Y, and third order overall.
