The electronic theory provides by these means a description of the influence of substituents upon the distribution of electrons in the ground state of an aromatic molecule as it changes the situation in benzene. It then assumes that an electrophile will react preferentially at positions which are relatively enriched with electrons, providing in this way an isolated molecule theory of reactivity. 

Reverse osmosis models can be divided into three types irreversible thermodynamics models, such as Kedem-Katchalsky and Spiegler-Kedem models nonporous or homogeneous membrane models, such as the solution—diffusion (SD), solution—diffusion—imperfection, and extended solution—diffusion models and pore models, such as the finely porous, preferential sorption—capillary flow, and surface force—pore flow models. Charged RO membrane theories can be used to describe nanofiltration membranes, which are often negatively charged. Models such as Dorman exclusion and the... 

Several theories have appeared in the Hterature regarding the mechanism of protection by -PDA antiozonants. The scavenger theory states that the antiozonant diffuses to the surface and preferentially reacts with ozone, with the result that the mbber is not attacked until the antiozonant is exhausted (25,28,29). The protective film theory is similar, except that the ozone—antiozonant reaction products form a film on the surface that prevents attack (28). The relinking theory states that the antiozonant prevents scission of the ozonized mbber or recombines severed double bonds (14). A fourth theory states that the antiozonant reacts with the ozonized mbber or carbonyl oxide (3) in Pig. 1) to give a low molecular weight, inert self-healing film on the surface (3). 

Dezincification is explained by two theories. The first is that the alloy dissolves, with a preferential redeposition of copper. The other proposes a selective leaching of the zinc, leaving the copper behind. There is evidence that both mechanisms may operate, depending on the specific environment. 

The basic kinetic properties of this allosteric enzyme are clearly explained by combining Monod s theory and these structural results. The tetrameric enzyme exists in equilibrium between a catalytically active R state and an inactive T state. There is a difference in the tertiary structure of the subunits in these two states, which is closely linked to a difference in the quaternary structure of the molecule. The substrate F6P binds preferentially to the R state, thereby shifting the equilibrium to that state. Since the mechanism is concerted, binding of one F6P to the first subunit provides an additional three subunits in the R state, hence the cooperativity of F6P binding and catalysis. ATP binds to both states, so there is no shift in the equilibrium and hence there is no cooperativity of ATP binding. The inhibitor PEP preferentially binds to the effector binding site of molecules in the T state and as a result the equilibrium is shifted to the inactive state. By contrast the activator ADP preferentially binds to the effector site of molecules in the R state and as a result shifts the equilibrium to the R state with its four available, catalytically competent, active sites per molecule. 

The LUMO, which is the frontier orbital in reactions with nucleophiles, has a larger coefficient on the /3-carbon atom, whereas the two occupied orbitals are distorted in such a way as to have larger coefficients on oxygen. The overall effect is that the LUMO is relatively low-lying and has a high coefficient on the /3-carbon atom. The frontier orbital theory therefore predicts that nucleophiles will react preferentially at the /3-carbon atom. 

Weak boundary layer. WBL theory proposes that a cohesively weak region is present at the adhesive-substrate interface, which leads to poor adhesion. This layer can prevent the formation of adhesive bonds, or the adhesive can preferentially form bonds with the boundary layer rather that the surface it was intended for. Typically, the locus of failure is interfacial or in close proximity to the silicone-substrate interface. One of the most common causes of a WBL being formed is the presence of contaminants on the surface of the substrate. The formation of a WBL can also result from migration of additives from the bulk of the substrate, to the silicone-substrate interface. Alternatively, molecular... 

Phase transitions in two-dimensional layers often have very interesting and surprising features. The phase diagram of the multicomponent Widom-Rowhnson model with purely repulsive interactions contains a nontrivial phase where only one of the sublattices is preferentially occupied. Fluids and molecules adsorbed on substrate surfaces often have phase transitions at low temperatures where quantum effects have to be considered. Examples are molecular layers of H2, D2, N2 and CO molecules on graphite substrates. We review the path integral Monte Carlo (PIMC) approach to such phenomena, clarify certain experimentally observed anomalies in H2 and D2 layers, and give predictions for the order of the N2 herringbone transition. Dynamical quantum phenomena in fluids are analyzed via PIMC as well. Comparisons with the results of approximate analytical theories demonstrate the importance of the PIMC approach to phase transitions where quantum effects play a role. 

Aceording to Frontier Molecular Orbital (FMO) theory, thiophene s most reactive site can be identified by examining the shape of its highest-occupied molecular orbital (HOMO).

Another way to assess thiophene s reactivity is to compare the intermediate ions formed by addition of N02. Examine the structures, charge distributions and electrostatic potential maps of thiophene+nitronium at C2 and thiophene+nitronium at C3. Draw all of the resonance contributors needed to describe these structures. Which, if either, better delocalizes the positive charge Compare the energies of the two intermediates. Which product should form preferentially if the reaction is under kinetic control Are these results consistent with FMO theory ... 

Baum has reviewed the theory and the laboratory, rig, and plant experience which has led to the current views on concentration mechanisms. Essentially, interpretation is based on the difference between heat transfer at certain localised sites of the tube and that at the free surface. In normal boiling, the removal of steam from the surface leads to its direct replacement by liquid, so that accumulation of solutes does not occur to any appreciable extent. However, in certain cases, principally those three listed above, where there is an inadequate supply of water to the surface for boiling to be maintained, steam preferentially forms. Consequently, solute is deposited and accumulates with the formation of highly concentrated solution (lO -lO that in the bulk). 

Very little work has been done in this area. Even electrolyte transport has not been well characterized for multicomponent electrolyte systems. Multicomponent electrochemical transport theory [36] has not been applied to transport in lithium-ion electrolytes, even though these electrolytes consist of a blend of solvents. It is easy to imagine that ions are preferentially solvated and ion transport causes changes in solvent composition near the electrodes. Still, even the most sophisticated mathematical models [37] model transport as a binary salt. 

The results obtained demonstrate competition between the entropy favouring binding at bumps and the potential most likely to favour binding at dips of the surface. For a range of pairwise-additive, power-law interactions, it was found that the effect of the potential dominates, but in the (non-additive) limit of a surface of much higher dielectric constant than in solution the entropy effects win. Thus, the preferential binding of the polymer to the protuberances of a metallic surface was predicted [22]. Besides, this theory indirectly assumes the occupation of bumps by the weakly attracted neutral macromolecules capable of covalent interaction with surface functions. 

In some cases, an electrophile preferentially attacks the position between two groups in the meta relationship. For a list of some of these eases and a theory to explain them, see Kruse, L.I. Cha, J.K. J. Chem. Soc., Chem. Commun., 1982, 1333. 

According to the frontier orbital theory, a bond preferentially forms between the atoms with the largest frontier orbital amplitudes (Sect. 3.4 in the Chapter Elements of a Chemical Orbital Theory by Inagaki in this volume). This is applicable for the regioselectivities of Diels-Alder reactions [15]. The orbital mixing rules are shown here to be useful to understand and design the regioselectivities.

Separations in hydrophobic interaction chromatography have been modeled as a function of the ionic strength of the buffer and of the hydrophobicity of the column, and tested using the elution of lysozyme and ovalbumin from octyl-, butyl- and phenyl-Sepharose phases.2 The theoretical framework used preferential interaction analysis, a theory competitive to solvophobic theory. Solvophobic theory views protein-surface interaction as a two-step process. In this model, the protein appears in a cavity in the water formed above the adsorption site and then adsorbs to the phase, with the free energy change... 

Generated from diacetyl peroxide, methyl radicals attack 2-methylfuran at position 5 preferentially if both 2- and 5-positions are occupied as in 2,5-dimethylfuran there is still little or no attack at the 3(4)-position. If there is a choice of 2(5)-positions, as in 3-methylfuran, then that adjacent to the methyl substituent is selected.249 These orientation rules are very like those for electrophilic substitution, but are predicted for radical attack by calculations of superdelocalizability (Sr) by the simple HMO method. Radical bromination by IV-bromsuccinimide follows theory less closely, presumably because it does not occur through a pure radical-chain mechanism.249...
