    Also acid ionization constant or acidity constant. A quantitative measure of the strength of an acid in solution expressed as an equilibrium constant for a chemical dissociation reaction in the context of acid-base reactions. It is often given as its base-10 cologarithm, p K a. acid–base extraction A chemical reaction in which chemical species are separated from other acids and bases. acid ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schiff_base

    In organic chemistry, a Schiff base (named after Hugo Schiff) is a compound with the general structure R 1 R 2 C=NR 3 (R 3 = alkyl or aryl, but not hydrogen). [ 1 ] [ 2 ] They can be considered a sub-class of imines , being either secondary ketimines or secondary aldimines depending on their structure.

  4. Base (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base_(chemistry)

    A strong base is a basic chemical compound that can remove a proton (H +) from (or deprotonate) a molecule of even a very weak acid (such as water) in an acid–base reaction. Common examples of strong bases include hydroxides of alkali metals and alkaline earth metals, like NaOH and Ca(OH) 2, respectively. Due to their low solubility, some ...

    the wermlandite group, with a layer spacing of ~11 Å, in which cationic complexes occur with anions between the brucite-like layers; and; the hydrocalumite group, with M 2+ = Ca 2+ and M 3+ = Al 3+, which contains brucite-like layers in which the Ca:Al ratio is 2:1 and the large cation, Ca 2+, is coordinated to a seventh ligand of 'interlayer ...

    An extreme case of intercalation is the complete separation of the layers of the material. This process is called exfoliation. Typically aggressive conditions are required involving highly polar solvents and aggressive reagents. [6]

    ditto with screw axes as well as axes, parallel, in between; in this case an additional translation vector is one half of a translation vector in the base plane plus one half of a perpendicular vector between the base planes. The four monoclinic hemihedral space groups include those with pure reflection at the base of the prism and halfway

  8. Monolayer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monolayer

    A Langmuir monolayer or insoluble monolayer is a one-molecule thick layer of an insoluble organic material spread onto an aqueous subphase in a Langmuir-Blodgett trough. Traditional compounds used to prepare Langmuir monolayers are amphiphilic materials that possess a hydrophilic headgroup and a hydrophobic tail.

    Metal substrates for use in SAMs can be produced through physical vapor deposition techniques, electrodeposition or electroless deposition. [1] Thiol or selenium SAMs produced by adsorption from solution are typically made by immersing a substrate into a dilute solution of alkane thiol in ethanol, though many different solvents can be used [1] besides use of pure liquids.
