Abstract:The conformational volume V, represents a contribution to the partial molar volume Vof solutes which arises due to the non-identical volume of conformers in chain molecules. The paper presents expressions for calculations of the term V, based on the matrix method of conformational statistics. Starting from literature data on the volume differences in conformational diads, the con formational volume of poly(methy1ene) was calculated as a function of temperature and pressure. The combination of the results calcu… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
