thermal rearrangement of 7,7-dichloro-[a,c]-dibenzo-[4,1,0]-bicycloheptane (1) to 5,6-dichloro-5hdibenzo-[a,c]-cycloheptene (2) was studied in the solid phase and in solvents with different polarities. thefirst-order constants at various temperatures for the rearrangement process were evaluated from theabsorption time data. the activation parameters for this rearrangement were obtained from the...

On short time scales an underlying Arrhenius temperature dependence of the diffusion constant can be extracted from the fragile, super-Arrhenius diffusion of a binary Lennard-Jones mixture. This Arrhenius diffusion is related to the true super-Arrhenius behavior by a factor that depends on the average angle between steps in successive time windows. The correction factor accounts for the fact th...

A non-Arrhenius model based on the Mittag-Leffler function has been conceived as a basic concept. This approach allows modelling both sub-Arrhenius and super-Arrhenius behaviours giving rise to modified temperature integrals.
