Stability scale

According to these consideration the diamino-substituted phosphenium (an alternative suggestion for its nomenclature is phosphanylium) cation, 5, and the phosphanetriylammonium (iminophosphenium) cation, 6, possess the largest intrinsic (gas phase) stabihties. Since in the X-ray structures the molecules are to a first-order isolated, this theoretical stability scale determined for the gas phase should also mimic the various trends of the stabilities of the cations and their chelation behaviour. The methylenephosphenium, 7, and the PjH cations, 8, suffer from poor stabihties. On the other hand the phosphirenium cation, 11, is considered to be fairly well stabilized. It is due to n-electron delocalisation of the positive charge in the phosphirenium cation. Intermediate cases in stabihty are the PO+ (9) and PS+ cations (10). Of further interest are the frontier orbital considerations, as shown in Fig. 2. 

When physical organic chemists discuss the stability of a hydrocarbon ion, they use a stability scale, but they can define the scale only in relative terms. Thus, it is necessary to choose a reference species from which the ion can be derived or to which it can revert (Bethell and Gold, 1967). 

The experimental studies described in this chapter certainly led to a better understanding of the coalescence phenomena in concentrated emulsions. Despite the complexity and variety of the destruction scenarios, different methods for measuring the coalescence frequency, ty, have been proposed. It should be within the reach of future work to measure ty for a large variety of systems in order to establish a comparative stability scale. This is a necessary step to determine the microscopic parameters that control the activation energy Ea and the attempt frequency coo. 

Stability scales compare isomeric and nonisomeric carbocations with respect to a certain property. As there is more than one reasonable property, there is none unique, the correct stability scale, but there are several of them, each of which can conceptionally be justified. 

To avoid ambiguity by intermixing different stability scales, it would be preferable to completely abandon the term carbocation stability and to clearly designate the properties that are going to be compared. Nevertheless, the term is in current use in discussions of chemical reactivity, and because the scales employed in this contribution are roughly corre-... 

As discussed elsewhere [19], there are two main categories of stability scales, which relate either the Lewis- [Eqs. (la, b)] or the Bronsted-acidities [Eq. (lc)] of carbocations. In this contribution we will only refer to the Lewis acidity scales, i.e., scales that compare kinetic or thermodynamic features of the forward or backward reactions (la, b). 

Thermochemical properties referring to the gas phase are not obscured by solvent effects and are, from a fundamentalist s point of view, the ideal basis for stability scales. 

Additional obstacles may include lack of a patent or other proprietary position, availability of a generic equivalent, large amount of competition, technical difficulties in any area of formulation, analytical, stability, scale-up or other related issues. Manufacturing issues or costs of any aspect of the manufacturing, from obtaining the raw products to final manufacturing and packaging to distribution, are other possible disincentives.

On a stability scale at which diamond is at the 0 of energy, the glitter allotrope of C, described in [22], has an energy of formation of 0.5116 eV/C atom above that of diamond, by the CASTEP optimization, under the local density approximation (EDA). In contrast, the hexagonite allotrope of C, described herein, has an energy of formation of 0.5343 eV/C atom above that of diamond by the same computational method. 

Stability of Carbenium Ions. In terms of thermodynamic stability, carbenium ions can be ranked on the basis of gas-phase hydride affinity, heats of ionization, ionization equilibrium in solution, and Sn 1-solvolysis rate (21). The stability scales obtained by these different methods correlate reasonably well...

Similarly, in the case of dioctyl peroxydicarbonate-Na2S30e [173], the polymerization was carried out according to the recipe in Table 13 to give PVC with good heat stability. Scale formation in the above polymerization was 5 g m compared with 550 g m for a similar run without NaiSsOg.
