The surrounding atoms, schematised as positive charges, are displaced from their initial symmetrical position (open circles) to their final strained positions (black circles) due to the electrostatic interactions with the aspherical electron distribution.

Various modes of ordering are feasible. In systems with amphoteric cations (< .., Al34-), the fraction of Al3+ in tetrahedral or octahedral sites is a possible order parameter. Strain may lead to a bending of Si-O bonds. Periodic distributions of the components in space, along with elastic and/or electrostatic interactions, indicate spinodal ordering (demixing). Some examples will illustrate these general features. 

It is common practice to represent the total strain energy, Utotab of a molecule by a set of potential energy functions, including bonding (Eb), valence (Eg) and torsional angle (E interactions as well as nonbonded (Enb) and electrostatic interactions (Ec) (see Eq. 2.2). 

Electrostatic interactions are usually modelled by assigning point charges to the atoms and the contributions to the strain energy are then calculated using the standard formula, Eq. 15.6,... 

With the same idea in mind, i.e., limiting the number of reaction steps to reduce the costs of production, direct condensation of the ferrocenylmethyl (Fem) moiety on the endocyclic nitrogen of the CQ afforded the quaternary ammonium salt (Fig. 19). Nevertheless, such modification of CQ abolished the activity of the parent molecule on both Dd2 CQ-resistant and HB3 susceptible P. falciparum strains [115]. We can hypothesize that the charged species should not be able (1) to cross the membrane (2) to stack over the ferriprotoporphyrin ring due to unfavorable electrostatic interaction and/or steric hindrance. 

For the particular case of longitudinal optical modes, we found in Eq. (9-27) the electrostatic electron-phonon interaction, which turns out to be the dominant interaction with these modes in polar crystals. Interaction with transverse optical modes is much weaker. There is also an electrostatic interaction with acoustic modes -both longitudinal and transverse which may be calculated in terms of the polarization generated through the piezoelectric effect. (The piezoelectric electron phonon interaction was first treated by Meijer and Polder, 1953, and subsequently, it was treated more completely by Harrison, 1956). Clearly this interaction potential is proportional to the strain that is due to the vibration, and it also contains a factor of l/k obtained by using the Poisson equation to go from polarizations to potentials. The piezoelectric contribution to the coupling tends to be dominated by other contributions to the electron -phonon interaction in semiconductors at ordinary temperatures but, as we shall see, these other contribu-... 

Electronic Interactions.—As mentioned above, elastic strain is not the only contender for long-range interactions in these materials, and electronic interactions are also likely candidates. The problem here is that it is difficult to know precisely the valence states of the atoms in these structures. In addition, the electrical properties of the materials are not always well known and conductivity data for many of these phases has not yet been obtained. In the literature only electrostatic interactions and polaron interactions have been considered.
