Kinetics And Stoichiometry Of The Aquation Reaction Of Pentaaquodihalomethyl Chromium(Iii) Ions, Mohammad Javaid Akhtar

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

This study was designed to provide information about the mechanisms of pentaaquodihalomethyl chromium(III) ions (halo chloro, bromo and iodo).

...

Mechanisms based on carbonium ion, carbeno and carbenoid type intermediates are proposed. A mechanism based on the nucleophillic attack (S_N2) of water on the carbon center leading to a metal-formyl type intermediate is suggested as best fitting all the criteria observed in these studies.

Isoviscosity Curves In The Analysis Of The Pressure--Temperature Dependence Of Liquid Viscosity., Gayle Nathaniel King

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

The temperature and pressure dependence of liquid viscosity has been extensively discussed in the chemistry, physics, and engineering literature for over half a century. Thus far, theoretical ab initio calculations of temperature and pressure effects on viscosity have been unsuccessful. Therefore there have been numerous attempts to relate fundamental properties of liquid state models with experimental viscosity, temperature, pressure, and density (η,T, P, ρ) data. This work has resulted in many semi-empirical equations expressing η as functions of temperature, pressure, volume, density, chain length, molecular weight, degrees of freedom, etc.
