Solvents characteristics

Modem electron transfer tlieory has its conceptual origins in activated complex tlieory, and in tlieories of nonradiative decay. The analysis by Marcus in tire 1950s provided quantitative connections between the solvent characteristics and tire key parameters controlling tire rate of ET. The Marcus tlieory predicts an adiabatic bimolecular ET rate as... [Pg.2975]

Tables 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 contain information concerning the physical properties, solvent characteristics (9—11), economic and production data (12,13), and health and safety characteristics of common industrial solvents (14).

Solvent Characteristics. Solvents are conveniendy classified as hydrocarbons or nonhydrocarbons. The latter are generally oxygenated compounds. [Pg.278]

F = Function of the molecular volume of the solute. Correlations for this parameter are given in Figure 7 as a function of the parameter (j), which is an empirical constant that depends on the solvent characteristics. As points of reference for water, (j) = 1.0 for methanol, (j) = 0.82 and for benzene, (j) = 0.70. The two-film theory is convenient for describing gas-liquid mass transfer where the pollutant solute is considered to be continuously diffusing through the gas and liquid films. [Pg.257]

Ionic liquids are similar to dipolar, aprotic solvents and short-chain alcohols in their solvent characteristics. These vary with anion (from very ionic Cl to more covalent [BETI] ). IFs become more lipophilic with increasing alkyl substitution, resulting in increasing solubility of hydrocarbons and non-polar organics. [Pg.79]

ACM-silica system has been synthesized from four different solvents whose characteristics are described in Table 3.2. Three different solvents have been employed in studying ENR-sUica system and the solvent characteristics are also denoted in the same table (Table 3.2). [Pg.69]

The use of thermomorphic systems has recently been studied as a way of achieving catalyst separation in homogeneous catalysis. For example, a biphasic hydroformylation catalyst system was developed to take advantage of the unusual solvent characteristics of perfluorocarbons combined with typical organic solvents (4). Fluorous/organic mixtures such as perfiuoromethylcyclohexane... [Pg.244]

Generally the magnitudes of solvent exchange rate constants increase in the sequence NH3 > H20 > DMF > MeCN > MeOH, which is largely independent of the nature of the metal ion (108,109). This sequence cannot be readily identified with specific characteristics such as dielectric constant, donor number, electric dipole moment, or stereochemistry, and it appears to reflect the overall solvent characteristic. There may be a correlation between the AH for solvent exchange on [M(solvent)6]2+ and the heat of dissociation of solvent from this species (110). [Pg.30]

As mentioned before, there are two common types of GC gas-liquid chromatography (GLC) and gas-solid chromatography (GSC), depending on the physical state of the stationary phase. GSC is seldom used. In GLC the analyte is partitioned between the mobile phase (gas) and a liquid phase, which is retained on an inert solid support. The liquid phase should ideally possess a low volatility (so that it does not volatilise with the analyte), be thermally stable and chemically inert, and have favourable solvent characteristics. [Pg.181]

Rf values can range from 0.0 which indicates that the component did not travel at all, to a maximum of 1.0, which indicates that the component traveled to the solvent front, resulting in no or little retention. It is best to determine the solvent characteristics for a good separation prior to determining the Rf. [Pg.322]

In a traditional microcapsulation process, the ingredient to be encapsulated is dispersed in a polymer-rich aqueous solution. The solvent characteristics of the medium are then changed, causing the... [Pg.206]

The carcinogenicity of polycyclic aromatic compound-rich tyre extender oils has lead to the proposal of a legislative ban on their use in Europe. The suitability of naphthenic oils as non-toxic plasticisers in tyre treads is discussed and results are presented of experimental studies of the use of these plasticisers in SBR, EPDM, sulphur-cured EPDM and peroxide-cured EPDM. Despite their low aromatic content, the naphthenic plasticisers are shown to give good results in SBR, probably as a result of the contribution to solvent characteristics of the naphthenic molecular structure. The use of naphthenic oils is expected to increase worldwide as they are said to be one of the best alternatives to aromatic extracts with regard to solvent properties, compatibility, performance and availability. [Pg.32]

Due to the particle size of Deloxan THP II and MP, these resins can be used in either batch or fixed bed mode to scavenge transition metals from contaminated process solutions. In this work both modes of operation were investigated. In addition to mode of use, many other variables can influence the effectiveness of a metal scavenger. Oxidation state of the metal, solvent characteristics (polar or nonpolar) and nature of the metal complex (ligands) are just a few of these variables and these were chosen for investigation in this body of work. [Pg.494]

Hydrotrophy is defined as an increase in solubility in water caused by presence of large amounts of additives. It is another type of solubilization, except the solubilizing agent is not necessarily a surfactant. The phenomenon is closer to complexation, but the change in solvent characteristics play a significant role as well. In general, the quantity of other components must be in the range of 20 to 50% to induce hydrotrophy. [Pg.51]

SOLUBILITY PRODUCT. A numerical quantity dependent upon the temperature and the solvent, characteristic of electrolytes. It is the product of the concentrations of ions in a saturated solution and defines the degree of solubility of the substance. When the product of the ion concentrations exceeds the solubility product, precipitation commonly results. Stnctly speaking, the product of the activities of the ions should be used to determine the solubility product, but in many cases the resnlts obtained using concentrations, as suggested by Nernst, are correct. [Pg.1520]

Heterolytic cleavage of X-Y => X+ + Y" ion pair, stabilized by resonance or polar solvent. Characteristic of ionic reactions involving nucleophiles and electrophiles. [Pg.3]

The quality of a solvent can be characterized in terms of the molecular descriptors of the solvent characteristic [15], The contribution of each parameter can be evaluated from multiple regression. For 3-MI [14], the quenching rate can be expressed as... [Pg.295]
