A set of kinetic equations has been developed which allows to calculate the rate parameters of intramolecular excimer formation, dissociation and of radiative and non-radiative desactivation processes. Experimental data necessary for evaluating the equations are monomer lifetime and relative fluorescence intensities of monomer and excimer fluorescence in solution with and without added quenching substance.Spectroscopical data of biscarbazolyl propane, diphenyl propane and derivatives are used in order to calculate the rate constants. It is shown that the stronger excimer fluorescence of diphenyl propane, as compared with biscarbazolyl propane, is due to the high rate constant of excimer formation in the former substance

Rate constants for the recombination of CH3 radicals have been measured by means of the rotating sector technique in the temperature range 373- 463 K, and at a pressure of 30 Torr . CH3 radicals were produced by the photolysis of acetone, and the experimental data were fitted to sector curves generated from Shepp's theory. The results give kb = (2.81�0.22)×1013 cm3 mol-1 s-1, which, under the chosen experimental conditions, is close to its high-pressure limiting value. A comparison is made with the other values of the rate constant reported in the literature, and a best value is suggested.

Neuromuscular transmission, from spontaneous release to facilitation and depression was accurately reproduced by a mechanistic kinetic model of sequential maturation transitions in the molecular fusion complex. The model incorporates three predictions. First, sequential calcium-dependent forward transitions take vesicles from docked to pre-primed to primed states, followed by fusion. Second, pre-priming and priming are reversible. Third, fusion and recycling are unidirectional. The model was fed with experimental data from previous studies while the backward (β) and recycling (ρ) rate constant values were fitted. Classical experiments were successfully reproduced when every forward (α) rate constant had the same value, and both backward rate constants were 50-100 times larger. Such disproportion originated an abruptly decreasing gradient of resting vesicles from docked to primed states. Simulations also predict that: i. Spontaneous release reflects primed to fusion spontaneous transitions. ii. Calcium elevations synchronize the series of forward transitions that lead to fusion. iii Facilitation reflects a transient increase of priming following calcium-dependent transitions. iv. Backward transitions and recycling restore the resting state. v. Depression reflects backward transitions and slow recycling after intense release. Such finely-tuned kinetics offers a mechanism for collective non-linear transitional adaptations of a homogeneous vesicle pool to an ever-changing pattern of electrical activity.

Indirect micromethods were designed for the assay of human renin (lower limit 0.25 times 10-4 U and of antirenin to human renin (lower limit 3 times 10-4 U), with the rat used for the bioassay of the angiotensin produced by the action of renin on renin substrate. This made possible the assay of unusually small amounts (0.01 mu1) of serum for antirenin. The Michaelis-Menten concept of a dissociating complex can be applied to the antireninrenin reaction: the rate constants for the formation and for the breakdown of the complex were k1 equal to 1.65 (ml/U antirenin per min) and k3 equal to 1.97 times 10-3 (U inactivated renin/U antirenin per min), respectively; the apparent Michaelis constant was 12 times 10-4 (U renin/ml). A second method of analysis was also applied by assuming the formation of a rather tight complex, with antirenin functioning as an irreversible inactivator of renin. Both methods of analysis yielded practically the same rate constant (k1 equal to 1.65 and k1 equal to 1.71), but the treatment according to the Michaelis-Menten equation affords a slightly better fit of the experimental data (accuracy equal to plus or minus 15.5 percent) than the second method of calculation (accuracy equal to plus or minus 21.6 percent).

Recombination of the Electrons in the ionized column has often been considered (see, for example, Öpik, 1955), but the uncertainties in the atomic and molecular species present and in the rate constants have made it difficult to predict. Furthermore, recombination has not been recognized in the observations, so that it has been judged to be negligible (McKinley, 1961). More recently, however, a relatively high rate constant has been found for dissociative recombination of certain molecular ions. We have now observed recombination at comparable rates in our radar meteor recordings.

A method for constructing curves is proposed that are linear in a wide region and from whose slopes it is possible to determine the rate constant, if a parameter, θ, is calculated numerically from a rapidly converging recurrent formula or from its explicit form. The values of rate constants and parameter θ thus simply found are compared with those found by an optimization algorithm on a computer; the deviations do not exceed ±10%.

The acceleration effect of p-toluidine on the electroreduction of Zn(II) on the mercury electrode surface in binary mixtures water-methanol and water-dimethylformamide is discussed. The obtained apparent and true forward rate constants of Zn(II) reduction indicate that the rate constant of the first electron transfer increases in the presence of p-toluidine. The acceleration effect may probably be accounted for by the concept of the formation on the mercury electrode an activated complex, presumably composed of p-toluidine and solvent molecules.

Ion/molecule reactions in mixtures of ethyl chloride with C1–C4 alkylamines were studied by ICR mass spectrometry. Ethyl cation transfer to C1–C4 alkylamines proceeds mainly through diethylchloronium ions with rate constants ~3 × 10−10cm3 s−1. In the case of s-butylamine the corresponding rate constant is 0.5 × 10−10 cm3 s−1. Key words: ICR mass spectrometry, ion/molecule reactions, ethylchloride, methylamine, ethylamine, propylamines, butylamines
