Effect of temperature on the volumetric properties of (cyclohexanone + an aromatic hydrocarbon)

The excess molar volume of (cyclohexanone + benzene, or toluene, or ethylbenzene, or styrene) were obtained from the densities measured by means of a vibrating-tube densimeter over the whole composition range at temperatures (293.15, 303.15, 313.15, 323.15, 333.15, 343.15, 353.15) K and atmospheric pressure. The excess molar volume provide the temperature dependence of in the temperature range of (293 to 353) K. The results were correlated using the fourth-order Redlich-Kister equation, with the maximum likelihood principle being applied for the determination of the adjustable parameters. It was found that the in the systems studied increase with rising temperature.     

Synthesis and characterization of the rare-earth dicyanamides Ln[N(CN)2]3 with Ln=La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, and Eu

The rare-earth dicyanamides Ln[N(CN)₂]₃ (Ln=La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu) were obtained via ion exchange in aqueous medium and subsequent drying: The crystal structures were solved and refined based on X-ray powder diffraction data and they were found to be isotypic: Ln[N(CN)₂]₃; Cmcm (no. 63), Z=4, Ln=La: , , ; Ce: , , ; Pr: , , ; Nd: , , ; Sm: , , ; Eu: , , ). The compounds represent the first dicyanamides with trivalent cations. The Ln³⁺ ions are coordinated by three bridging N atoms and six terminal N atoms of the dicyanamide ions forming a three capped trigonal prism. The structure type is related to that of PuBr₃. The novel compounds Ln[N(CN)₂]₃ have been characterized by IR and Raman spectroscopy (Ln=La) and the thermal behavior has been monitored by differential scanning calorimetry (Ln=Ce, Nd, Eu).     

Partial molar volumes and heat capacities of the N-acetyl amide derivatives of the amino acids asparagine, glutamine, tyrosine, and lysine monohydrochloride in aqueous solution at temperatures from T = 288.15 K to T = 328.15 K

The partial molar volumes, , and partial molar heat capacities, , at infinite dilution have been determined for the compounds N-acetylasparaginamide, N-acetylglutaminamide, N-acetyltyrosinamide, and N-acetyllysinamide monohydrochloride in aqueous solution at T = (288.15, 298.15, 313.15, and 328.15) K. These results, along with the literature data for the compound N-acetylglycinamide, have been used to calculate the amino acid side-chain contributions to the thermodynamic properties. These side-chain contributions are compared with those obtained using small peptides as side-chain model compounds.     

(p, Vm, T) measurements of (cyclohexane + nonane) at temperatures from 298.15 K to 328.15 K and at pressures up to 40 MPa

The densities and speeds of sound of (cyclohexane + nonane) were measured at four temperatures from 298.15 K to 328.15 K, and the respective values of excess volumes and adiabatic compressibility were calculated. Thereafter, the densities for the last system were measured at elevated pressures (0.1 to 40) MPa at four temperatures over the range 298.15 K to 328.15 K with a high-pressure apparatus. The high-pressure density data were fitted to the Tait equation and the isothermal compressibilities were calculated with a novel procedure with the aid of this equation. The low- and high-pressure values of calculated from the density data show that the deviations from ideal behaviour in the system decrease slightly as the temperature and pressure are raised. The data were fitted to the fourth-order Redlich-Kister equation, with the maximum likelihood principle being applied for the determination of the adjustable parameters.
