An important contribution for the endo selectivity in the carho-Diels-Alder reaction is the second-order orbital interaction [1], However, no bonds are formed in the product for this interaction. For the BF3-catalyzed reaction of acrolein with butadiene the overlap population between Cl and C6 is only 0.018 in the NC-transi-tion state [6], which is substantially smaller than the interaction between C3 and O (0.031). It is also notable that the C3-0 bond distance, 2.588 A, is significant shorter than the C1-C6 bond length (2.96 A), of which the latter is the one formed experimentally. The NC-transition-state structure can also lead to formation of vinyldihydropyran, i.e. a hetero-Diels-Alder reaction has proceeded. The potential energy surface at the NC-transition-state structure is extremely flat and structure NCA (Fig. 8.6) lies on the surface-separating reactants from product [6]. 

Borazine is isoelectronic and isostructural with benzene and may act as a six-electron donor in complex chemistry. In contrast to arene ligands of arene-transi-tion-metal complexes, coordinated borazines lose their planarity and are slightly puckered . Nevertheless, the B atoms show interactions with metal atoms. 

Late transition metal or 3d-transition metal irons, such as cobalt, nickel, and copper, are important for catalysis, magnetism, and optics. Reduction of 3d-transition metal ions to zero-valent metals is quite difficult because of their lower redox potentials than those of noble metal ions. A production of bimetallic nanoparticles between 3d-transi-tion metal and noble metal, however, is not so difficult. In 1993, we successfully established a new preparation method of PVP-protected CuPd bimetallic nanoparticles [71-73]. In this method, bimetallic hydroxide colloid forms in the first step by adjusting the pH value with a sodium hydroxide solution before the reduction process, which is designed to overcome the problems caused by the difference in redox potentials. Then, the bimetallic species... 

The second transition shows in most cases clearly resolved vibrational structure. The mode excited seems to be the same as in the first transition, its frequency being usually in the range 1200—1400 cm . The geometry changes due to transi tion II are smaller than those due to transition I, as in transition II the first vibrational component is the most intense (and not the second as in transition I ) and the third component in II is much smaller than the first. This vibrational component intensity pattern is one reason why the half height width of transition II is much smaller than that of transition I (e.g., A 1/2 - 2300 cm in 1). Another reason is that transition II seems not to excite combinations with lower frequency modes.

From Table 1 the scheme for the actinide metals shown in Fig. 4 is arrived at. The valence band structure is evidently more complicated in detail than that of the d-transi-tion metals because there are now four different angular momentum states to deal with. However, the d bands are now broad conduction bands. This is not surprising since the broadening of d-bands is a systematic trend from the 3rd to the 5th transition metal series and has now passed a stage further. The reason for this is that the wave functions of each new d-series must be orthogonal to those of the earlier series. The necessary additional orthogonality mode extends the wave functions spatially and broadens the bands. Precisely the same phenomenon occurs between the 4f and 5f series. Thus d-electrons play the role of the major conduction electrons in the actinides and the relative population of the sp conduction bands is reduced. The narrow f-bands are pinned to the Fermi level...

Whether polymerized model membrane systems are too rigid for showing a phase transition strongly depends on the type of polymerizable lipid used for the preparation of the membrane. Especially in the case of diacetylenic lipids a loss of phase transi tion can be expected due to the formation of the rigid fully conjugated polymer backbone 20) (Scheme 1). This assumption is confirmed by DSC measurements with the diacetylenic sulfolipid (22). Figure 25 illustrates the phase transition behavior of (22) as a function of the polymerization time. The pure monomeric liposomes show a transition temperature of 53 °C, where they turn from the gel state into the liquid-crystalline state 24). During polymerization a decrease in phase transition enthalpy indicates a restricted mobility of the polymerized hydrocarbon core. Moreover, the phase transition eventually disappears after complete polymerization of the monomer 24).

Thermogravimetric studies of carbosiloxane copolymers have indicated 5% mass loss of the corn-pounds in the temperature range of 250 - 260°C. The main degradation process proceeds in the ran-ge of 380 - 630°C, and above 700°C the mass loss is not observed. It is found that thermal oxidative stability of copolymers is decreased with increase of the cyclic fragment volume, i.e. at the transi-tion from cyclic pentasiloxane to hexasiloxane fragments in cyclolinear carbosiloxane copolymer. It is also found that carbosiloxane copolymers with... 

In shaip contrast to peroxy acid oxidation the oxidation of sulfoxides to sulfones with various transi tion metal salts proceeds much faster than that of sulfides to sulfoxides and consequently sulfoxides may be selectively oxidized to sulfones in the presence of sulfides. 

Photolysis of bulky permethylated Fp complexes such as FpSi[Si(CH3)3]3 does not cause deoligomerization, possibly because stable intermediate iron-silyl(silylene) complexes are not formed (27). Other less bulky transi-tion-metal-oligosilane complexes are also unreactive under the photolysis conditions. For example, the ruthenium analogues of the iron complexes, [( ri -C5H5)Ru(CO)2-Si ], are essentially photostable (23). Whether this behavior is due to the strength of the Ru-CO bond or to the enhanced stability of the Si-Si bond is not clear, and this problem is currently under investigation. 

Although exo-endo selectivity in the Diels-Alder reaction of olefinic dienophiles has been extensively studied both experimentally and theoretically [31], exo-endo selectivity of the transition structure in the reaction of acetylenic dienophiles has not previously been investigated, because the adducts produced via exo- or endo-transi-tion-state assembly are identical diastereomerically. We used ab initio molecular orbital calculations at the RHF/6-31G level [32] to identify the transition struetures of simple processes of this type, i.e. acid-free and BFs-promoted reactions of cyclopenta-diene and propynal (Fig. 9). As expected, our calculations showed that the exo transition structures are more stable than the endo structures by 0.8 kcal mol" for the former reaction and by 2.0 and 2.4 kcal moF for anti and syn pairs, respectively, for the latter. These calculations strongly suggest the predominance of an exo transition structure and its enhancement by coordination of the Lewis acid. 

E(T- ) of phei lazides was decided to be 75 Kcal/mol( 26500 cnT ) by the procedure. Although we accept some of questionable points in their discussions, the largest difficulty is that the (n- TC ) transi-tion(Pig.1 i) of phei lazide tails to 75 Kcal/mole. Therefore, E(t- ) should be lower than that of the lowest singlet state. Saunderes also showed that sensitizers as low in E(t- ) as benzophenone(68 Kcal/> ol ( 23800 cm )) gave appreciable reaction in the photolysis of phenylazi-de(4), which suggests that the reaction mechanism is not so simple as in the case of sensitized cis-isomerization of trans-stilbene. Therefore, we cannot expect the obtaining of the exact value of E(T- ) of aromatic azides by such a procedure of simple chemical kinetics as Saunders used.

The dielectric loss behavior of both polyethylene s Y transi-tion and polycarbonate s 0-transltion was enhanced by the presence of unassociated water. The area under the associated loss peak was found to increase in direct proportion to the concentration of unassociated water. In addition a secondary dielectric loss peak associated with frozen clustered water occurred in polycarbonate about 40°C below Its g-transition. Liquid clustered water at... 

On the other hand, the difficulties encountered by both theories are not insuperable. The facts, however, suggest (1) that the transi tion state of the master reaction includes more than one molecule of solvent, (2) that the configuration of the transition state is such that at least one molecule of solvent is not far displaced from the line of the carbon-to-halogen bond, and on the other side of the carbon... 

Figure 15. He and Ar concentrations are shown as a function of He/ Ar in the Palfris Marl (after BaUentine et al. 1994). Near-constant Ar concen-trations (all variation in [ Ar J is within 2a of the mean dashed line, top figure) are found in fluids trapped in vugs within the Palfris marl and in free borehole fluids from the same horizon. Stable isotopes and a constant Ar show that these differ-ently sited fluids are derived from the same source. In contrast, He concen-trations are lOx higher in the free fluid than that trapped in the inclusions (lower figure) are likely due to addi-tion of excess " He to the free fluid. This is explained by He, but not Ar, diffusive loss into the fracture gas phase from the host marl. The transi-tion to high He/ Ar ratios has occur-red subsequent to the fluid formation and entrapment in the inclusions, at below 250°C and 6- to...

It will hardly be necessary to recall that it was with the 129 4-keV y-transi-tion in Ir that R. L. Mbssbauer first demonstrated nuclear resonance absorption [64]. The source used was 16-day Os (see Fig. 16.22 for decay scheme) and the absorber was iridium metal. The transmission of the y-rays decreased unexpectedly as the temperature was lowered from 370 K to 90 K. Subsequently he initiated the use of velocity scanning [65, 66], and derived the excited-state half-life as Ij = 0 099 ns.
