SIGNIFICANT STRUCTURE THEORY OF ISOTOPE EFFECT

The significant structure theory applied to liquid oxygen.

The significant structure theory applied to a mesophase system.

The significant structure theory of liquids is extended to the mesophase system with p-azoxyanisole as an example. This compound has two different structures, a nematic phase and an isotropic phase, in its liquid state. In this study the nematic phase is treated as subject to a second volume and temperature-dependent degeneracy formally like that due to melting. The isotropic phase is treated a...

A significant improvement of the efficacy of radical oxidant probes by the kinetic isotope effect.

The accurate and sensitive detection of radical oxidants is a central problem in the field of chemical biology. Radical oxidants can be detected in vitro with fluorescent leucodyes such as dihydroethidium (DHE), dihydrorhodamine (DHR), the hydrocyanines, redoxfluor-1, and their organelle-specific analogues. Although these probes are widely used in cell culture, their accuracy is compromised by ...

Electrochemical isotope effect and lithium isotope separation.

A large electrochemical isotopic effect is observed upon the electrodeposition of lithium from solutions of propylene carbonate producing isotopically light metal deposits. The magnitude of fractionation is controlled by the applied overpotential and is largest close to equilibrium. Calculated partition function ratios for tetrahedrally coordinated lithium complexes and metallic lithium predict...
