Structural Changes in the Solid

In the last few years an appreciable number of electrochemical studies, pointing out the influence of the wait time [293] at high cathodic potentials [294,295] of prepolarization on the shape of oxidation chronoamperograms and voltammograms and the existence of first scan effects [296], suggest that, in some special conditions, redox kinetics in polypyrrole can be driven by the rate at which structural changes in the solid matrix occur. 

The reversible interchange of ions between a liquid and solid, with no substantial structural changes in the solid. 

How can ionic radii and/or electronegativities be used to explain the structural changes in the solid aluminium halides from AIF3 to AII3 ... 

Here we are concerned with changes in the solid structure of the waste form, such as devitrification and phase separation in waste-containing glasses. Thus we need to understand the mechanisms and kinetics of the solid-state transformations and the effect of these changes on the solubility of the wastes. Besides the transformations that might occur in the dry state, we also need to know what hydrothermal changes might occur. 

Solid lines standard titration curves, broken lines manifold systematic variations, arrows direction of the induced relative shift. F s. 1 and 2 simulate structural changes in the ligand-free complexes. Figs 3-6 inhibition and activation processes induced by the controlling ligand (kinetic control). Figs 7 and 8 simulate a variation of the catalytic concentration (see Scheme 3.3-4) or of the constants of association of L to M (thermodynamic control). 

Toxicity Quinone vapor is highly irritating to the eyes and may be followed by corneal opacities, structural changes in the cornea, and loss of visual acuity. Solid quinone may produce discoloration, severe irritation, swelling, and formation of papules and vesicles.114... 

This brings the discussion of the changes in the solid full circle. Spiltover hydrogen can exchange with the surface. It may react with and replace methoxyls with hydroxyls. It may be incorporated into the bulk with a change in the bulk crystal structure. Bulk reduction may occur. The species spilling over may react only with the surface, with coke, or with other sorbed species. In addition, spillover may promote or inhibit reaction on the surface. 

Below that temperature this thermally activated motion is frozen out. There is a characteristic change in the solid-state lineshape that clearly demonstrates the effect. Nuclear magnetic resonance can in such cases provide important information about molecular structure and dynamics in solids.
