✦ Synopsis
Al~tract--The influence of solvent on cationic copolymerization, modelled by ethene/isobutene copolymerization, is investigated by theoretical methods. Solvent influence was simulated by a continuum model after gas phase calculations at the MINDO/3 level. Characteristic changes, caused by the transition from the gas phase to solution (solvent: CH2C12) were obtained, e.g. an increase of activation barriers and decrease of energy gains of the competing propagation reactions. The quotient of reactivity ratios r2/q (1---ethene; 2--isobutene) decreases on changing the copolymerization system to a more polar solvent.

## Abstract A further study has been made of the influence of organic solvents on the bactericidal power of the phenols, alcohols, and other germicides. The solvents used have been acetone, ethylene glycol and terr.‐butyl alcohol. Although of practical interest, experiments showed that ethylene gly
We used semi-empirical and ab initio calculations to investigate the nucleophilic attack of the OHion on the 8-lactam carbonyl group. Both allowed us to detect reaction intermediates pertaining to proton-transfer reactions rather than the studied reaction. We also used the PM3 semi-empirical method
