Vapour-liquid equilibrium data for the systems C2H6 + N2, C2H4 + N2, C3H8 + N2, and C3H6 + N2

High pressure vapour-liquid equilibrium data for the C₂H₆ + N₂, C₂H₄ + N₂, C₃H₈ + N₂, and C₃H₆ + N₂ systems are presented. The data are obtained isothermally in the range from 200 K to 290 K. For each point of data, temperature, pressure and liquid and vapour phase mole fractions are measured.Values for the vapour phase mole fractions are calculated from the obtained pressure, temperature and liquid phase mole fractions. The calculated values are compared with the experimental results, and it is found that the average mean deviation between calculated and experimental mole fractions is less than 0.009 for the systems considered in this work.

Fourier transform infrared spectroscopic analyses of the v12 fundamentals of C2H4 and C2D4

High-resolution infrared studies of isotopic ethylenes below 2000 cm^?1 have been commenced with a Nicolet FTIR spectrometer. Accurate vibration and rotation parameters for the v₁₂ fundamentals of C₂H₄ and C₂D₄ are determined from spectra recorded with 0.05 cm^?1 resolution. Excellent band contour simulations confirm that these bands are unperturbed throughout their range.     

Kinetic isotope effects in the reaction H + C2H4 → C2H5

The high-pressure limiting rate constants of the reactions between H or D atoms and three isotopic ethylenes have been measured in the temperature range 206–461 K. Practically no isotope effects due to the differences between the ethylenes could be observed. This result does not agree with the prediction recently made by the activated complex theory.     

Electron scattering differential cross sections for C2H2, C2H4, and C2H6 by gas phase electron diffraction - binding effects

Experimental differential cross sections for 40 keV electrons scattered by C₂H₂, C₂H₄ and C₂H₆ molecules were measured using the gas electron diffraction method in the range of the scattering variable s from s = 1 A^?1 to s = 30 A^?1. The differential cross sections for neon were also measured and compared with calculated differential cross sections to calibrate the diffractograph. Experimental differential cross sections show significant deviations with respect to theoretical differential cross sections calculated from the Debye-Ehrenfest model, mainly in the range of small scattering angles. The observed differences are connected to chemical binding effects. From the experimental data, an estimation of the binding energy was carried out. The deduced values: ?0.58 ± 0.20 au for C₂H₂, ?0.94 ± 0.30 au for C₂H₄ and ?1.23 ± 0.40 au for C₂H₆ are in agreement with those obtained by thermochemical methods.

Reactions of C2(a 3πu) with CH4, C2H2, C2H4, C2H6, and O2 using multiphoton UV excimer laser photolysis

C₂(a ³π_u) disappearance rate constants of 1.44, 0.96, 0.0296, 0.0130 and < 10^?6(x10^?10cm³s^?1) are reported for reactions with C₂H₄, C₂H₂, O₂, C₂H₆, and CH₄, respectively at 298 K. C₂(a ³π_u) fragments are generated by multiphoton ArF excimer laser photodissociation at C₂H₂, and monitored by dye laser induced fluorescence. Arguments are presented which favor chemical reactions over the C₂(a ³π_u) → (X ¹σ⁺_g) quenching channel. C₂ + C₂H₂ represents the one possible exception to the reactive channel.

Photocatalytic Synthesis of Hydrocarbon Oxygenates from C2H6 and CO2 over Pd-MoO3/SiO2 Catalyst

Pd-MoO3/SiO2 catalyst has been prepared using the method of incipient wetness impregnation. The photo absorbing behaviors and chemisorbing properties of the catalyst have been characterized by UV-vis spectra and TPD-MS experiments. The results indicated that metal Pd loaded on MoOe/SiO2 has a significant effect on the photo absorbing performance of MoO3/SiO2, and an obvious blue shift of the absorption edge is produced. Under UV irradiation, the chemisorption state of CO2 undergoes decomposing process to form CO at 481 K, and a two-site adsorption state of ethane can be formed at around 496 K. Photo-oxidation of ethane using carbon dioxide can mainly produce propanal, ethanol and acetaldehyde in the temperature range of 353-423 K. The presence of metal Pd improves the catalytic activity remarkably.     

Evidence for the distortion of C2H4 and C2H2 chemisorbed on W(100)

The adsorption of C₂H₄ on W(100) has been studied by ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy with hν = 21.22 eV. The spectrum measured after in initial saturation exposure at 80 K exhibits structure which correlates well with energy levels recently calculated by Demuth and Eastman (DE) for sp³ rehybridized C₂H₄. Dehydrogenation of the adsorbate, either by subsequent heating to 295 K or direct adsorption at 295 K, yields a spectrum which correlates with DE's calculation for sp² rehybridized C₂H₂. These results suggest that C₂H₄ and C₂H₂ may be distorted from their planar and linear structures respectively and that the CC bonds on these molecules are stretched by adsorption on W(100). Qualitative arguments suggest that the bonding site for both melecules is directly over a W atom and that the Dewar—Chatt model for πd bonding in organometallic compounds is applicable.     

AB initio calculation of vertical transition energies of the C2H2 molecule

Various ab initio SCF and Cl treatments are reported for the acetylene molecule in ground and excited states at its fixed linear equilibrium geometry. The results speak in favor of the former analysis of the vacuum UV absorption spectra of C₂H₂ given by Wilkinson according to which above the X?C state an allowed transition to a linear upper state (X?D) and two allowed transitions with broad bands (X?E and X?F) to non-linear upper states are present. The calculated order and spacing of the excited states does not support the new analysis given by Jungen according to which only one allowed transition (X?F) and a forbidden one to a linear upper state (X?D) should appear between 1250 and 1360 A.     

Synthesis and crystal structures of (C8h8)Nd(C5H9C5H4) (THF)2 and [(C8H8)Gd(C5H9C4H4(THF)][(C8H8)GD(C5H9C5H4(THF)2]

LnCl₃ (Ln=Nd, Gd) reacts with C₅H₉C₅H₄Na (or K₂C₈H₈) in THF (C₅H₉C₅H₄ = cyclopentylcyclopentadienyl) in the ratio of 1 : to give (C₅H₉C₅H₄)LnCl₂(THF)_n (orC₈H₈)LnCl₂(THF)_n], which further reacts with K₂C₈H₈ (or C₅H₉C₅H₄Na) in THF to form the litle complexes. If Ln=Nd the complex (C₈H₈)Nd(C₅H₉C₅H₄)(THF)₂ (a) was obtained: when Ln=Gd the 1 : 1 complex [(C₈H₈)Gd(C_%H₉)(THF)][(C₈H₈)Gd(C₅H₉H₄)(THF)₂] (b) was obtained in crystalline form.

The crystal structure analysis shows that in (C₈H₈)Ln(C₅H₉C₅H₄)(THF)₂ (Ln=Nd or Gd), the Cyclopentylcyclopentadieny (η⁵), cyclooctatetraenyl (η⁸) and two oxygen atoms from THF are coordinated to Nd³⁺ (or Gd³⁺) with coordination number 10.

The centroid of the cyclopentadienyl ring (Cp′) in C₅H₉C₅H₄ group, cyclooctatetraenyl centroid (COTL) and two oxygens (THF) form a twisted tetrahedron around Nd³⁺ (or Gd³⁺). In (C₈H₈)Gd(C₅H₉C₅H₄)(THF), the cyclopentyl-cyclopentadienyl (η⁵), cyclooctatetraenyl (η⁸) and one oxygen atom are coordinated to Gd³⁺ with the coordination number of 9 and Cp′, COT and oxygen atom form a triangular plane around Gd³⁺, which is almost in the plane (dev. -0.0144 Å).     

Synthesis and crystal structure of Ir(C2H4)2(C5H7O2)

We report a new synthesis and characterization of Ir(C₂H₄)₂(C₅H₇O₂) [(acetylacetonato)-bis(η²-ethene)iridium(I)], prepared from (NH₄)₃IrCl₆ · H₂O in a yield of about 45%. The compound has been characterized by X-ray diffraction crystallography, infrared, Raman, and NMR spectroscopies and calculations at the level of density functional theory. Ir(C₂H₄)₂(C₅H₇O₂) is isostructural with Rh(C₂H₄)₂(C₅H₇O₂), but there is a substantial difference in the ethylene binding energies, with Ir-ethylene having a stronger interaction than Rh-ethylene; two ethylenes are bound to Ir with a binding energy of 94 kcal/mol and to Rh with a binding energy of 70 kcal/mol.     

The structure of C2H5InBr2 · tmen,C2H5InI2 · tmen (tmen = N,N,N,′,N′-tetramethylethanediamine) and [(C6H5)4P][C2H5InI3] in solution and in the solid state

The ¹H NMR spectra of C₂H₅InBr₂ · tmen (1) C₂H₅InI₂ · tmen (2) (tmen = N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethanediamme) and [(C₆H₅)₄P][C₂H₅InI₃] (3) show only a broad singlet for the ethyl protons at 60 MHz. Spectra run at 400 MHz resolve these into a triplet + quartet for 1 and 3. The structure of each compound has been determined by X-ray crystallography; 1 and 2 are five-coordinate species, with InC₂N₂X (X = Br, I) nuclei, while 3 consists of [(C₆H₅)₄P]⁺ cations and anions whose InCI₃ nucleus has C_3v, symmetry.

A theoretical study of the reaction of SiH2 with C2H2 and C2D2

Potential energy surfaces of the reaction of SiH₂ and C₂H₂ (and C₂D₂) have been calculated by means of ab initio molecular orbital theory at the QCISD/6-311G++(2df, 2p)//MP2/6-31G(d, p) level with corrections for the triple excitations to the QCISD energies. The barrier heights for the two reaction channels of the adduct, thus calculated, were further utilized for the dynamical calculation of the rate constants in the framework of quantum statistical Rice-Ramsperger-Kassel theory. Contributions of the rate constants of the various pathways to the total rate constant (K_T) for the disappearance of the reactants are critically examined and compared with experiment. The pressure dependence of K_T(C₂H₂) is primarily due to the formation of silirene. K_T(C₂D₂) is consistently higher than K_T(C₂H₂). The standard heat of formation of silirene is predicted to be 72.1 ± 3 kcal/mol. Rearrangement of silirene to vinylsilylene requires an activation energy smaller than that to silylacetylene.
