Solution Thermodynamics of <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>,<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis><Superscript>/</Superscript>-Ethylenebis-(salicylideneiminato)-diaquochromium(III) Chloride in Aqueous Dimethylsulphoxide

The densities, viscosities and refractive indices of N,N ^/-ethylene-bis(salicylideneiminato)-diaquochromium(III) chloride, [Cr(salen)(H₂O)₂]Cl, in aqueous dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) with different mass fractions (w ₂ = 0.20, 0.40, 0.60, 0.80 and 1.00) of DMSO were determined at 298.15, 308.15 and 318.15 K under atmospheric pressure. From measured densities, viscosities and refractive indices the apparent molar volumes (V _φ ), standard partial molar volume (V _φ ⁰ ), the slope (S _V ^* ), standard isobaric partial molar expansibility (φ _E ⁰ ) and its temperature dependence (?φ _E ⁰ /?T) _p , the viscosity B-coefficient, its temperature dependence (?B/?T), solvation number (S _n ) and apparent molar refractivity (R _D ^φ ), etc., were calculated and discussed on the basis of ion–ion and ion–solvent interactions. These results revealed that the solutions are characterized by ion–solvent interactions rather than by ion–ion interactions and the complex behaves as a long range structure maker. Thermodynamics of viscous flow was discussed in terms of transition state theory.

The structure is built from the building blocks of the formula, {Fe^II[Mo₆P₄O₃₁]₂}, consisting of a network of MO₆ (M = Fe, Mo) octahedral and PO₄ tetrahedral linked through their vertices. The connectivity of the building blocks with two pairs of face-sharing dinuclear Fe(II) clusters of the formula of [Fe^II ₂(H₂O)₄O₅] on which a phosphate group is hanging gives rise to one-dimensional chains with eight-membered apertures. The remarkable hydrogen bonded interactions between the chains form a unique and interesting framework with three-dimensional intersecting tunnels where the protonated nicotine molecules as structuring templates and crystallization water molecules are situated.

A series of twist linear tetranuclear 3d–4f Co ₂ ^III Ln ₂ ^III [Ln = Gd (1), Tb (2), Dy (3), Ho (4), Er (5)] complexes have been prepared under solvothermal conditions and structurally characterized with Schiff-base ligand 2-(((2-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)methylene)amino)-2-(hydroxymethyl)-1,3-propanediol (H₄L). The two central Co ions are linked by two alkoxyl oxygen atoms, and one Ln ion lying above and the other below the Co–Co dimer, form a twist linear array.

Synthesis,scope, <Superscript>1</Superscript>H and <Superscript>13</Superscript>C spectral assignments of isomeric dibenzofuran carboxaldehydes

Two isomeric dibenzofuran carboxaldehydes, namely 2-methoxydibenzo[b,d]furan-1-carbaldehyde (4) and 2-methoxydibenzo[b,d]furan-3-carbaldehyde (5), were synthesized. Formylation of 2-methoxydibenzo[b,d]furan (3) with α,α-dichloromethyl methyl ether and tin(IV) chloride gave a mixture of aldehydes 4 and 5 in 95 % yield and in a 35:65 ratio. Their ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectral signals were not sufficiently resolved in CDCl₃ solution to achieve their complete assignment, but this was possible in DMSO-d ₆ with the help of 2D-NMR techniques: NOESY for ¹H–¹H interactions and HSQC and HMQC experiments for ¹H–¹³C correlations. These aldehydes were used in the synthesis of novel β-phenylethylamines and NBOMe derivatives, which are undergoing biological evaluation.

Determination of sorption and diffusion parameters of <Superscript>99</Superscript>Tc in crushed granite using through-diffusion experiments

Diffusion and sorption are important processes associated with radionuclides migration in crystalline rock. These processes are studied in the laboratory using borehole core samples. In this study, we obtained distribution coefficients (K _d), apparent diffusion coefficients (D _a) and retardation factor (R _f) using batch and through-diffusion experiments. The \( R_{\text{f}}^{\text{H/Tc}} \) and \( K_{\text{d}}^{\text{H/Tc}} \) values obtained using the accumulative concentration method were lower than those derived in the batch experiments. These findings demonstrate that reliable R _f and K _d values of ⁹⁹Tc can be obtained using through-diffusion experiments with a non-reactive radiotracer, thereby bolstering confidence in the assessment of the long-term performance of disposal repositories.     

Structural features of monomeric octahedral <Emphasis Type="Italic">d</Emphasis><Superscript>2</Superscript>-rhenium(V) monooxo complexes with oxygen atoms of bidentate-chelating neutral and acidic ligands (O,P)

The structural features of 38 mononuclear d ²-Re(V) octahedral monooxo complexes (I–XXXVIII) with oxygen atoms of bidentate-chelating (O, P) ligands (L ⁿ ) are considered. The atoms O(L ⁿ ) are mostly in trans positions to O(oxo) ligands. In three compounds of general formula [ReO(L_mono)(L ⁿ )₂] (XXXVI–XXXVIII), the O atoms of two L ⁿ ligands occupy both trans and cis positions to oxo ligands. In one complex, namely, in [ReO(L ⁿ )(L _tri ¹¹ )], n = 3 (XXXV), the atom O(L³) is in the cis position to the oxo ligand; the trans position to O(oxo) is occupied by the atom O(L _tri ¹¹ ).

Supramolecular layers are formed in the structure due to the weak π-π-stacking interaction between the aromatic groups of chains. The CF₃CO ₂ ^? anion is weakly bound to Ag⁺ (Ag-O_avg 2.790 Å).     

Thermodynamic properties of lanthanum and lanthanide halides: IV. Enthalpies of atomization of LnCl,LnCl<Superscript>+</Superscript>, LnF,LnF<Superscript>+</Superscript>, and LnF<Subscript>2</Subscript>

The results of measurement of equilibrium constants of 30 reactions involving lanthanum and lanthanide fluorides (LnF, LnF₂, and LnF₃) and 14 reactions involving lanthanum and lanthanide monochlorides (Ln = La-Lu) have been summarized. These constants have been used for calculating the enthalpies of reactions by the second and third laws, from which the enthalpies of atomization Δ_at H ₀ ⁰ of LnCl, LnF, and LnF₂ have been determined. Comparison of the calculation results shows that the thermodynamic functions of LnCl and LnF (Ln = Ce-Yb) in which the electronic excitation contribution has been calculated from the excitation energies of Ln⁺ ions allow one to adequately determined the Δ_at H ₀ ⁰ values from experimental data. Using the trends in the change in Δ_at H ₀ ⁰ as a function of the atomic number of a lanthanide, the enthalpies of atomization of compounds for which experimental data are lacking have been estimated. The Δ_at H ₀ ⁰ values for LnCl⁺ ions have been calculated. The reliability of the Δ_at H ₀ ⁰ values for LnF⁺ ions have been assessed.

The thermodynamic properties of the [(Me<Subscript>3</Subscript>Si)<Subscript>7</Subscript>C<Subscript>60</Subscript>]<Subscript>2</Subscript> fullerene complex

The temperature dependence of the heat capacity C _p ^o of the [(Me₃Si)₇C₆₀]₂ fullerene complex was measured for the first time using precision adiabatic vacuum calorimetry over the temperature range 6.7–340 K and high-accuracy differential scanning calorimetry at 320–635 K. For the most part, the error in the C _p ^o values was about ±0.5%. An irreversible endothermic effect caused by the splitting of the dimeric bond between fullerene fragments and the thermal decomposition of the complex was observed at 448–570 K. The thermodynamic characteristics of this transformation were calculated and analyzed. Multifractal analysis of the low-temperature (T < 50 K) heat capacity was performed, and conclusions were drawn concerning the character of the heterodynamicity of the structure. The experimental data obtained were used to calculate the standard thermodynamic functions C _p ^o (T), H ^o (T) ? H ^o (0), S ^o (T) ? S ^o (0), and G ^o (T) ? H ^o (0) over the temperature range from T → 0 to 445 K and estimate the standard entropy of formation of the compound from simple substances at 298.15 K. The standard thermodynamic properties of [(Me₃Si)₇C₆₀]₂ are compared with those of the (C₆₀)₂ dimer, the [(η⁶-Ph₂)₂Cr]⁺[C₆₀]^?? fulleride, and the initial C₆₀ fullerene.
