These special features are explained by an interaction between the proton and one of the water molecules, which is not merely electrostatic but also covalent. This yields a new chemical species, the hydroxonium ion, HjO. The existence of such ions was demonstrated in the gas phase by mass spectrometry and in the solid phase by X-ray diffraction and nuclear magnetic resonance. The H -H20 bond has an energy of 712kJ/mol, which is almost two-thirds of the total proton hydration energy. 

The H+-H2O bond has the special feature that although the bond energy is high, the proton will readily hop from one water molecule in the hydration complex to a neighboring water molecule. This hop is a quantum motion and will occur only when the water molecules have a favorable mutual orientation. It will occur predominantly... 

Nonaqueous electrolyte solutions are analogous to aqueous solutions they, too, are systems with a liquid solvent and a solute or solutes dissociating and forming solvated ions. The special features of water as a solvent are its high polarity, e = 78.5, which promotes dissocation of dissolved electrolytes and hydration of the ions, and its protolytic reactivity. When considering these features, we can group the nonaqueous solvents as follows ... 

Zeolites are structurally related to colorless sodalite, Na4Cl[Al3Si3012], and to deeply colored ultramarines. These have aluminosilicate frameworks that enclose cations but no water molecules (Fig. 16.25). Their special feature is the additional presence of anions in the hollows, e.g. Cl-, S()4, S2, or S. The two last-mentioned species are colored radical ions (green and blue, respectively) that are responsible for the brilliant colors. The best-known representative is the blue mineral lapis lazuli, Na4S (.[Al3Si3012], which is also produced industrially and serves as color pigment. 

In an expediently designed plant, one can expect to reach in the pressure range above 8 10-2 mbar a vapor velocity in the cross-section Fk of between 50 and 80 m/s (l/d = 2.5 to 5) However 90 m/s will be reached only, if the design uses special features, e. g. a funnellike connection between the chamber wall and the location of the valve, slow changes in the outline, and smooth surfaces without sharp edges or holes. It is also recommendable, to clarify the maximal amount of vapor transportable at several pressures in a plant specification, e. g. at pch = 1 mbar a minimum of 3 kg/h and at pch = 0.04 mbar a minimum of 25 g/ h flow of water vapor must be demonstrated during the acceptance test, while the condenser temperature is below -30 °C, respectively below -57 °C. Such measurements can be earned out practically with sufficient accuracy (see e. g. Fig. 2.19 and the related text). 

The name, maleic anhydride, came about in the same fashion. as any number of compounds early in the petrochemical Business Many organic acids and their derivatives were given common names based on some early observations, their special source in nature, or on some special feature of their structure. MA was first isolated in the 1850—75 era by dehydration of malic acid, a sugar acid found in apple juice. The Latin word for apple is malum. Hence, malum, malic, maleic. The suffix, anhydride, which follows each alias of MA, has a simple definition a compound derived by the loss of a molecule of water from two carboxyl groups (-COOH). 

An especially intriguing pair of products obtained from marine organisms in recent years are Vent and Deep Vent DNA polymerase. These products are used in DNA research studies. Their special feature is that they are at least 10 times as efficient as other similar products in polymerase chain reactions because they can tolerate temperatures just below the boiling point of water, a characteristic that comparable research tools lack. Vent and Deep Vent DNA polymerases are obtained from the bacterium Thermococcus litoralis, which is found around deep-sea hydrothermal vents at the bottom of the ocean. 

A special feature is presented by the structures of the cryolite family, in which two different C.N.s, 6 and 12 resp., are offered to the same A-ions. This C.N. of 6, unfavourable to potassium and the larger alkali ions, is the reason why compounds of this kind often show either distortion from cubic symmetry or a deficit of alkali ions, especially if prepared from aqueous solution (77). According to the general formula Aa- MeFe- XH2O 1) some fluorine can be substituted by water in the crystal lattice. 

Let us consider the data on the dependence of the kinetics of et decay at 77 K on the radiation dose. As seen from Fig. 11, over the dose range 3 x 1019 - 3.6 x 102° eV cm 3, the kinetics of et decay is virtually independent of the dose. At the same time, at lower doses, the decay of et is significantly slowed down. For example, for a dose of 1019 eV cm-3, the change in optical density of y-irradiated samples at the maximum (585 nm) of the et absorption spectrum with time is also described by eqn. (5), but the slope of the kinetic curve the coefficient M in eqn. (5)] is smaller by almost a factor of two [28] than for the curve of Fig. 11. Further investigations by pulse radiolysis technique with spectrophotometric recording of et showed that, at a still lower dose (6 x 1017 eV cm"3) no decay of et in water-alkaline matrices is observed at all [43] while at high doses (5 x 1021 eV cm"3) for the same samples, the decay of efr does occur [43]. A decrease in the rate of etr decay via the reaction with O at small doses was also reported in ref. 44. This behaviour of the kinetic curves seems to reflect special features of the spatial distribution of etr and 0 particles in samples irradiated with different doses. 

The behaviour of copolymers SK is typical for the behaviour of copolymers with a hydrophobic polyvinyl block and a hydrophilic polypeptide block. They exhibit mesophases in water for water concentration ranging from 0 to 50% and the structure of the mesophases is lamellar23. The special feature of this lamellar structure consists in the conformation of the polylysine chains which are roughly to 15% in a 0-chain conformation, to 35% in an a-helix conformation and to 50% in a coiled conformation23, so that the hydrophilic block of such amphipatic copolymers has the same type of conformation as the hydrophilic part of the membrane proteins. 

The special features of UV treatment technologies of water and air that are favored by manufacturers, researchers and developers are collected in Tab. 2-1 (cf FIGAWA, 1997, Prengle Jr et al., 1996, Freeman and Harris, 1995, von Sonntag, 1995, Meyer and Fischer, 1994). From this table it is evident that a remarkable difference in the numerical handhng of UV disinfection and photo-initiated oxidation techniques ex-...

Compounds of these metals involving either a- or tt-bonds to carbon are generally much more reactive to both air and water than those of the d-block metals. Thus there is no lanthanide equivalent of ferrocene, an unreactive air- and heat-stable compound. They are often thermally stable to 100 °C or more, but are usually decomposed immediately by air (and are not infrequently pyrophoric). Within these limitations, lanthanide organometallic compounds have their own special features, often linked with the large size of these metals. 

Thus, it is the contribution of the water-field stabilization energy to the heat of hydration that is the special feature distinguishing transition-metal ions from the alkali-metal, alkaline-earth-metal, and halide ions in their interactions with the solvent. 

Experimental data can be presented per property or per system, both approaches having their merits and demerits. We shall mostly take the second one, to highlight special features of certain systems, but at the end make an exception by comparing lyotropic sequencles on different systems, considering that water structure-mediated interactions can be made most visible if double layers with differing affinities for water are compared. Double layers in the presence of larger ions and/or uncharged adsorbates will be deferred to sec. 3.12. 

In spite of technical differences, HOHAHA and HEHAHA experiments also share a number of potential practical problems, for example, phase anomalies in the spectra, water suppression, and sample heating. The discussion in this section will focus on examples of HOHAHA experiments, but special features that are characteristic for HEHAHA experiments will also be pointed out. For simplicity, only two-dimensional Hartmann-Hahn experiments are considered here, but the extension of the discussed principles to hybrid or multidimensional experiments (see Section XIII) is generally straightforward.
