Crystallite size effect of Pd/charcoal catalysts for benzene hydrogenation

The dispersity, calculated from the particle size distribution functions obtained by Small Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS) measurements, when related to the chemical behavior of Pd/charcoal catalysts in benzene hydrogenation, points out that this reaction is mildly structure-sensitive below the range of 40 Å, whereas no dependence on particle size is observed above this limit.

[Fe(phen)3]2+ aquation in aqueous polyacrylamide solution

The aquation of tris(1, 10-phenanthroline) iron(II) has been studied in aqueous polyacrylamide solutions. The rate increases up to 2.8 times at low polymer concentrations, and subsequently decreases. These effects are attributed to changes in the local water activity in the region of the complex.

Condensation of 2-(1-ethoxyvinyl)oxiranes with sodiomalonic ester and decarboxylation of the reaction products obtained

-(1-Ethoxyvinyl)- and -(1-ethoxyvinyl)--ethoxycarbonyl--butyrolactones were obtained by the reaction of 2-(1-ethoxyvinyl)oxiranes with sodiomalonic ester. Decarboxylation of the -(1-ethoxyvinyl)--ethoxycarbonyl-butyrolactones in DMSO leads to -(1-ethoxyvinyl)--butyrolactones, the hydrolysis of which gives -acetyl-butyrolactones. Ethyl trans-3-acetyl-3-pentenoate was obtained by decarboxylation of -methyl--(1-ethoxyvinyl)--ethoxycarbonyl--butyrolactone in DMSO.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 1, pp. 22–25, January, 1992.     

On the relationship between the structures of Cu(II) complexes and their chemical transformations IX

The Stoichiometry and the kinetics of thermal decomposition of the title compounds were studied. The results were correlated with the structures of the Cu(II) coordination polyhedra, which have in general a 4+2 type of coordination. It was shown that the equatorial Cu-H₂O bond distances are important for the found decomposition stoichiometries. As an intermediate of thermal decomposition, Cu(H₂O)₅(CH₃C₆H₄SO₃)₂ was prepared and characterized via its IR and electronic spectra and powder X-ray diffractogram. The experimental activation energies increase with increasing degree of tetragonality of the Cu(II) coordination polyhedron forX ^–=C₆H₅SO₃ and D-C₁₀ H ₁₅OSO₃, but decrease forX ^–=4-CH₃C₆H₄SO₃. TheE ^* value found for the decomposition of the latter compound can not be attributed to the chemical reaction.

Zusammenfassung Die Stöchiometrie und Kinetik der thermischen Zersetzung der Titelverbidungen wurde untersucht. Die Ergebnissen wurden auf die Strukturen der Cu(II) Koordinationspolyeder bezogen, die im allgemeinen eine 4+2 Koordination aufweisen. Die Länge der äquatorialen Cu-H₂O Bindung erwies sich als bedeutungsvoll für die ermittelte Stöchiometrie der Zersetzung. Das Zwischenprodukt Cu(H₂O)₅(CH₃C₆H₄SO₃)₂ der thermischen Zersetzung wurde dargestellt und mittels IR- und Elektronenspektren sowie Röntgenpulveraufnahmen beschrieben. Mit ansteigendem Tetragonalitätscharakter der Cu(II) Koordinationspolyeder wachsen die experimentell ermittelten Aktivierungsenergien fürX ^–=C₆H₅SO₃ und D-C₁₀H₁₅OSO₃ an, nehmen aber fürX ^–= 4-CH₃C₆H₄SO₃ ab. Der für letztere Verbindung ermittelteE ^* Wert kann der chemischen Reaktion nicht zugeschrieben werden.

Deamination of butylamines on the surface of acidic oxide catalysts

Studies of the deamination of tert-, sec- and n-butylamines on several silicate and phosphate catalysts at 543–704 K have revealed that the reaction proceeds only with the participation of protonic cneters, its rate is independent of the strength of acidic centers and affected only by the amine structure. Butylammonium ion conversion is suggested to be the rate-determining step.

Non-catalyzed oscillation reaction in the aniline-KBrO3?H2SO4 system. II. Reaction products and their oscillating behavior

By means of thin-layer and gas chromatography the reaction products have been determined in the oscillation system of aniline, KBrO₃ and H₂SO₄. These products include: 2-bromoaniline, 4-bromoaniline, 2,4-dibromoaniline, 2,4,6-tribromoaniline, 1,4-benzoquinone, 2-bromo-1,4-benzoquinone, 2,6-dibromo-1,4-benzoquinone and a brominated oxidation product. The brominated aniline derivatives do not exhibit an oscillating behavior, and the addition of these substances to an oscillating mixture damps the course of other oscillations.

Vitreous phases of the Ag2O∶B22O3∶P2O5 system

Most optimized vitreous electrolytes are obtained by doping an oxide glass with a salt (MX); the resulting substance has an increased ionic conductivity, but a reduced thermal stability. On the other hand, this paper shows that it is possible to obtain vitreous electrolytes with enhanced electrical and thermal performances by mixing two glass formers. This phenomenon may be called the mixed anion effect. The Ag₂OB₂O₃P₂O₅ system is shown to offer a very interesting example of such a phenomenon.

Für dieses Phänomen wird die Bezeichnung mixed anion effect in Vorschlag gebracht. Es wird gezeigt, daß das System Ag₂OB₂O₃P₂O₅ ein sehr interessantes Beispiel dieses Phänomens bietet.

The quest for a stable silyne, RSi ≡ CR′. The effect of bulky substituents [1]

The two major fundamental obstacles which so far have prevented theisolation of stable silynes, RSiCR (1), are: (a)the existence of more stable isomers, e.g., RRC=Si: (2) and(b) their extremely facile (exothermic) dimerication. The steric andelectronic effects of various substituents R and R (R = alkoxy,alkyl, aryl and silyl; R = alkyl and aryl groups) on the stability ofRSiCR relative to the isomeric RRC=Si:(E(1-2)), and on the energy of dimerization tothe corresponding 1,3-disilacyclobutadienes (E(D)), werestudied computationally using density functional theory (DFT) and theONIOM method. The goal was to find a combination of substituents thatwill make RSiCR more stable than RRC=Si: and whichwill also prevent its dimerization. For R = R = H,E(1-2)) = 40.7 kcal/mol (i.e., 2 islower in energy than 1), and E(D) = –104.0kcal/mol. 1, R = OH, R = m-Tbt 2,6-bis[bis(silyl)methyl]phenyl, is by 11.1 kcal/mol morestable than the isomeric silylidene 2. However, thedimerization of 1, R = OH, R = m-Tbt remains highlyexothermic (by 101 kcal/mol). 1, R = R = m-Tbt and1, R = (t-Bu)₃Si, R = m-Tbt, are by 5.8 and 2.0kcal/mol, respectively, less stable than the corresponding 2.However, the dimerization of 1, R = (t-Bu)₃Si, = m-Tbt is exothermic by only 12 kcal/mol. For1, R = (t-Bu)₃Si, and R = Tbt 2,6-bis[bis(trimethylsilyl)methyl]phenyl, the corresponding1,3-disilacyclobutadiene dimer 3, dissociates spontaneously.Thus, (t-Bu₃Si)SiCTbt is predicted to be kineticallystable towards both, isomerization to (t-Bu₃Si)TbtC=Si: anddimerization to 3, making it a viable synthetic target. Thereported energies were calculated atB3LYP/6-31G^**//B3LYP/3-21G^*; good agreement is found betweenthe DFT and the ONIOM results.

Crystallization of iron phosphate glasses

Differential thermal analysis (DTA), thermogravimetric analysis (TG), X-ray diffraction and Mössbauer spectroscopy were employed in the investigation of crystalline products of FeO_x-P₂O₅ glasses generated by various heat treatments. In glasses with a high value of =Fe²⁺/(Fe²⁺ + Fe³⁺), absorption of oxygen occurs in a broad temperature range identified by TG. Depending on the value of , two exotherms appear in the DTA curves, the low-temperature one corresponding to crystallization of the Fe₃(PO₄)₂ type regions, and the high-temperature one being related to various phases with dominating FePO₄. Each exotherm has its own transformation region, identical in absolute value. The Mössbauer spectra of glasses which underwent thermal treatment at higher temperatures exhibit some indication of phases of the types Fe₃(PO₄)₂ · xH₂O and FePO₄ · xH₂O.

Quantum-Chemical Calculations of the Structure of the Triplet Reaction Complexes in Anionic Polymerization of Butadiene

A new mechanism of anionic polymerization of butadiene, radically changing the existing concepts on the structure and properties of the reaction complex, is suggested. It is stated that an elementary chemical process involves excitation into the low-lying triplet state of the living polymer–monomer complex, characterized as a transfer of a charge (electron) and cation (Li⁺ or Na⁺) from the terminal unit to the monomer molecule. In the framework of this concept, the probability of chemical bonding is determined by the spin density on the radical centers of reagent molecules. The semiempirical and ab initio 6-31G** calculations have revealed a strong interaction in the ground electronic state of the complex (5-10 kcal/mole) and low energies of the excited triplet levels (< 10 kcal/mole). A mechanism of cis-trans-isomerization in the terminal unit of the living polymer is suggested. The mechanism involves concerted rotation around the C - C bond and migration of Li between the _C and C atoms. The new approach is shown to be fruitful for microstructure analysis of polybutadiene in relation to the type of cation and the state of the terminal unit of the living polymer.

Isomerisierung und Ringinversion von Tribenzaspiro[5.5]undecaphanen

For the two possible ring inversions in tribenzaspiro[5.5]undecaphanes—corresponding to the isomerizations79 and97 resp.—no mutual influence is found. Thus the degenerate isomerizations (topomerizations)77 and99 can proceedvia two consecutive (non-concerted) reversals. A ring inversion path similar to that for [2.2]metacyclophane (1) is postulated. The considerable ease of the isomerization of9 as compared to1 can be understood on the basis of thermodynamic arguments.Moreover it is confirmed that the free enthalpy difference G ₃₆₀=3.84 kcal/mol of7 and9 at equilibrium originates almost entirely from the different stabilities of boat and chair shaped benzene rings.These conclusions are drawn from a kinetic study of the thermal isomerization of9 and equilibration experiments in comparison with the corresponding data of1. The activation parameters for the process97 are: G _360isom ^A =26.52 kcal/mole, H _isom ^A =25.35 kcal/mole, S _isom ^A =–3.28 cal/deg·mole (isomerization) and G _360inv ^A =27.03 kcal/mole, H _inv ^A =25.35 kcal/mole, S _inv ^A =–4.67 cal/deg·mol (ring reversal); the corresponding data for the degenerate isomerizations of7 and9—identical with those for the ring reversal in7—were deduced to be G _360inv ^B =30.87 kcal/mole, H _inv ^B =27.50 kcal/mole and S _inv ^B =–9.5 cal/deg·mole.
