Simultaneous measurement of thermal properties in ferroelectric crystals

Simultaneous measurement of the influence of the electric field on specific heat, thermal conductivity and pyroelectric coefficient is described as a summary of previous papers. From these coefficients, which are determined by means of a flux calorimeter, the behaviour of other properties, such as thermal diffusivity and electrocaloric coefficient, is deduced.The data are compared with the findings obtained by other authors with traditional methods.

Marked differences between acetonitrile/water and methanol/water mobile phase systems on the thermodynamic behavior of benzodiazepines in reversed phase liquid chromatography

Summary Two different methods were used to determine the separation factor at different temperatures and the Gibbs-Helmholtz parameters ((H), (S)) of two adjacent benzodiazepines on a chromatogram were obtained from plots of ln versus 1/T. We first studied each factor (fraction of water in the ACN/water mixture and column temperatureT), which controls the retention mechanism, and then we examined the simultaneous variation of all these factors. The changes in (H) and (S) in relation to a volume fraction of water in an ACN/water mixture were examined. In the ACN/water system, (H) was fairly constant in the acetonitrile region of 0.52 and appears to be a roughly linear function of for 0.52. In this system (S) is approximately a parabolic function of with an optimum at 0.52. The retention mechanism of ten benzodiazepines was found to be significantly different in the methanol/water and ACN/water mixtures. The separation optimization of these ten benzodiazepines was then considered. A fraction of water of 0.43 in the ACN/water mixture and a column temperature of 44°C gave the most efficient separation conditions in the ACN/water mixture.     

Contribution of air oxygen to photooxidation of alkanes by vanadium(V) and chromium(VI) oxocomplexes

In photochemical oxygenation of cyclohexane by KVO₃–CF₃COOH or K₂Cr₂O₇–Bu₄NBr–H₂O–CH₂Cl₂ in air the source of oxygen atoms in the product cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone is air dioxygen rather than a metal oxo-complex. In the absence of dioxygen the products of alkane oxygenation are not formed in either of the above systems. At pH=3, Cr(VI) does oxidize cyclohexane to cyclohexanol even in argon atmosphere.

Reactivity of vibrationally excited methane molecules in reactions with chlorine atoms

At 148–298 K, the rate constant for the reaction of methane molecules excited into bending vibration with atomic chlorine does not exceed by more than 30 times the corresponding constant for methane in thermal equilibrium. Consequently, at low temperatures and thermal equilibrium the reaction of methane with atomic chlorine proceeds through the vibrational ground state of methane.

Mixed ligand complexes involving aminoacid dithiocarbamates,substituted phosphines and nickel(II)

Mixed ligand complexes involving four aminoacid dithiocarbamates (RRdtc=glydtc^– (R=H; R=H), methdtc^– (R=H; R=C₃H₇S), sardtc^– (R=Me; R=H), trydtc^– (R=H; R=C₉H₈N), substituted phosphines [PPh₃, Ph₂PCH₂CH₂PPh₂(dppe)] and nickel(II) are reported. All are diamagnetic. Thermal analyses of the complexes are in keeping with the proposed formulae. Thermal decomposition of the dithiocarbamate moiety proceeds through the formation of Ni(SCN)₂. PPh₃ and dppe are lost in the initial decomposition stages.     

The GC separation of C2-naphthalene isomers using cyclodextrins and crown ethers

Summary The twelve structural C₂ isomers of naphthalene are resolved on a single capillary column using , , or cyclodextrin as the stationary phase. A change in elution order is seen upon going from to and then cyclodextrin which can be related to the size of the cyclodextrin cavity and the stereochemical fit of the isomer. A crown-ether column and a liquid-crystal column were found to be unable to separate all of the isomers.

Phase separation of symmetric polymer mixtures in a common good solvent in the semidilute concentration regime

Monte Carlo simulations of lattice models of binary (AB) symmetric polymer mixtures (chain lengthsN _A=N _B=N) in a common good solvent are carried out and the phase diagrams and critical properties of the unmixing transitions are estimated and interpreted in terms of recent theories. Polymers are modeled by self-avoiding walks of lengthN=16, 32 and 64 on the simple cubic lattice. Data for vacancy concentrations of _V=0.6, 0.8 and 0.85 are analyzed. It is shown that forN=16, _V=0.85 no phase separation occurs, down to the lowest temperature, while forN=32, _V=0.85 still phase separation occurs but no longer is complete. Our results are compatible with a scaling theory based on a renormalization of the Flory-Huggins -parameter due to blob effects.Dedicated to Prof. Fischer on the occasion of his 65th birthday.Both of the authors are deeply indebted to Prof. E. W. Fischer, not only for help, support, and enlightening discussions, but even for bringing them together and suggesting to them to collaborate! By this catalytic action he actually played a decisive role in creating a longstanding and successful collaboration, the latest results of which are presented below.     

Factors effecting film thickness in glass capillary chromatographic columns coated by the “Mercury Plug” method

Summary The Mercury Plug Dynamic (MPD) method, recently introduced for the coating of glass capillary columns, has several advantages over other methods. However, while general rules governing the film thickness in both the static and the conventional dynamic coating methods have been intensively studied, this in not the case for the MPD method. In this paper, the effect of several parameters determining the film thickness were studied. The volumetric method applied to measure the film thickness was found to be faster and more accurate than the chromatographic methods used by other authors. The effect of viscosity of the coating solution and the velocity of the plug were studied in detail and as a result it was found that the same type of equation as the one describing the film thickness in the dynamic method, was applicable also to the MPD technique. A model is suggested to explain this result.     

Thermal analyses of aerosols

Thermal analysis as an analytical tool has been applied to the study of suspended liquid and solid matter in air. The aerosol is heated in a glass pipe, and the light scattering coefficient is used for thein situ detection of aerosol. Results of thermal analysis of the Los Angeles smog, and of St. Louis aerosol on dry and humid days, are presented, all indicating distinctly different thermo-nephelograms. On polluted days in St. Louis, over 50% of the light scattering coefficient is lost at about 100, which indicates the presence of H₂SO₄.

Das Aerosol wird in einem Glasrohr beheizt und Lichtstreuungskoeffizient zumin situ Nachweis des Aerosols verwendet. Die Ergebnisse der Thermoanalyse von Smog aus Los Angeles und von Aerosol aus St. Louis an trockenen und feuchten Tagen werden bekanntgegeben; diese zeigen deutlich verschiedene Thermonephelogramme. An Tagen bei besonders starker Verschmutzung in St. Louis, gehen mehr als 50% des Lichtstreuungskoeffizienten bei etwa 100 verloren, was auf Gegenwart von H₂SO₄ zurückzuführen ist.

Synthesis of Some Allyl-β-Cyclodextrin Derivatives and their Properties as Capillary GC Stationary Phases

Summary Three -Cyclodextrin derivatives (-CDs) were synthesized by substituting the 2,6-OH groups of -CD with allyl groups and the 3-OH groups with three different acyl groups (valeryl, heptanonyl, octanoyl). The chromatographic properties of these -CDs as stationary phases for capillary gas chromatography (CGC) were studied. The test results showed that the three -CDs possessed good coating properties and that the capillary columns coated with them exhibited high column efficiency. These -CDs can separate not only the disubstituted benzene isomers but also some racemic compounds.

Determination of basic sites on the surface of metal oxide catalysts by desorption of benzoic acid

A method has been developed for the determination of the concentration of basic sites on white and deeply colored solid porous materials, which is based on the displacement of adsorbed benzoic acid by acetic acid. The determination is rapid and gives results comparable with those obrained by the titration with benzoic acid using thymolphthalein as indicator.

Thermal degradation of single 7-cholesteryl acetate hydroperoxide

Summary The thermal degradation products of the 7- and 7-cholesteryl 3-acetate hydroperoxides obtained by thermal oxidation of cholesteryl 3-acetate are reported and discussed. The hydroperoxides were degraded in both the vapour and condensed phases. The main components identified were 7-ketocholesteryl 3-acetate, 7- and 7-hydroxycholesteryl 3-acetates and the products generated from the loss of the hydroperoxide group and/or of acetic acid. Remarkable is the finding of the epoxy-hydroxy derivatives of cholesteryl acetate among the degradation products.

Thermogravimetric changes influenced by the compaction of graphite-CrO3 intercalation compounds

The changes resulting from the compression of graphite-CrO₃ intercalation compounds are demonstrated in the TG curves. In comparison with the samples examined in the form of a flake bed, the compacted compounds begin to decompose at lower temperatures and their weight loss is higher, particularly above 220 °C. To explain the obtained results, the pressure-induced changes in the structures and the activities of the compounds are considered in relation to the method of intercalation, the concentration of the intercalant and the extent of exfoliation.

Zusammenfassung Anhand von TG-Kurven wurden Veränderungen demonstriert, die durch das Verdichten von Graphit-CrO₃-Einlagerungsverbindungen hervorgerufen werden. Im Vergleich zu Proben, untersucht in Form von Flocken, beginnen die kompakten Verbindungen sich bei niedrigeren Temperaturen zu zersetzen und zeigen einen grösseren Masseverlust, insbesondere beim Überschreiten von 220 °C. Zur Deutung der erhaltenen Ergebnisse wurden die druckverursachten Veränderungen in Hinsicht auf das Verfahren der Einlagerung, die Einlagerungskonzentration und auf das Ausmass der Abbröckelung in Betracht gezogen.
