Examples of labile in the following topics:
-
- Complexes where the ligands are released and rebound rapidly are classified as labile.
- Such labile complexes can be quite stable thermodynamically.
- The lability of a metal complex also depends on the high-spin vs. low-spin configurations when such is possible.
- Thus, high-spin Fe(II) and Co(III) form labile complexes, whereas low-spin analogues are inert.
-
- Because electrons are labile (i.e., they can be transferred from atom to atom) it is possible for the phenomenon of "charge separation" (often referred to as static electricity) to occur.
-
- This method is commonly used for heat labile pharmaceuticals and for protein solutions in processing medicines.
-
- RBCs therefore cannot divide or replicate like other labile cells of the body.
-
- Component I known as MoFe protein or nitrogenase contains 2 Mo atoms, 28 to 34 Fe atoms, and 26 to 28 acid-labile sulfides, also known as a iron-molybdenum cofactor (FeMoco).
- This protein has four non-heme Fe atoms and four acid-labile sulfides (4Fe-4S).
-
- Typically, strength of a leaving group's conjugate acid correlates with its lability.
- The only criterion is that they are labile enough to be "pushed" away by the nucleophile.
-
- Metalloenzymes contain a metal ion bound to the protein with one labile coordination site.
-
- In contrast, rhinoviruses are acid-labile (inactivated or destroyed by low pH conditions) and that is the reason why rhinovirus infections are restricted to the nose and throat.
-
- More important is the fact that electrons are labile; that is, they can be transferred from one atom to the next.
-
- A similar reaction can be performed using PBr3 or SOCl2 (for bromination and chlorination, respectively) as agents to make the hydroxyl more labile.
