Thermal decomposition of cyano complexes of the type M(NH3)3Ni(CN)4 (M=Cu,Zn, Cd)

Three complex compounds with the compositions Cu(NH₃)₃Ni(CN)₄ (CuA), Zn(NH₃)₃Ni(CN)₄ (ZnA), and Cd(NH₃)₃Ni(CN)₄ (CdA) were prepared and identified. Their structures were examined by the methods of infrared spectroscopy and X-ray powder diffraction and compared with one another. The thermal stabilities and stoichiometries of thermal decomposition were investigated with a derivatograph. It follows from the results that the thermal stability increases in the sequence CuA < ZnA < CdA.

Thermal decomposition of copper(II)phthalate monohydrate

The thermal dehydration and decomposition of copper(II) phthalate monohydrate was studied by isothermal and non-isothermal methods. The decomposition process consisted of three steps: two steps of dehydration and the third of decomposition. The kinetics of isothermal dehydration reactions follow (i) a unimolecular law up to the formation of copper(II) phthalate hemihydrate, and (ii) a phase boundary model giving anhydrous copper(II) phthalate, while the kinetics of isothermal decomposition reaction comply with the Erofeev-Avrami equation, [–ln(1–)]^1/n =Kt+C. The energies of activation for the formation of the decomposition products were calculated. The decomposition products were characterized by elemental analysis, photomicrographic observations, infrared and reflectance spectra and X-ray powder diffraction data.

Zusammenfassung Die thermische Dehydratisierung und Zersetzung von Kupfer(II)Phthalat Monohydrat wurde durch isotherme und nichtisotherme Methoden untersucht. Der Zersetzungsvorgang bestand aus drei Stufen: zwei Stufen der Dehydratisierung und die dritte der Zersetzung. Die Kinetik der isothermen Dehydratisierungsreaktionen folgt (i) einem unimolekularen Gesetz bis zur Bildung von Kupfer(II)Phthalat Hemihydrat und (ii) einem Grenzflächen modell, das wasserfreies Kupfer(II)Phthalat ergibt, während die Kinetik der isothermen Zersetzungsreaktion der Erofeev-Avrami Gleichung, [–ln(1–)]^1/n =Kt+C genügt. Die Aktivierungsenergien für die Bildung der Zersetzungsprodukte wurden berechnet. Die Zersetzungsprodukte wurden durch Elementaranalyse, mikrophotographische Beobachtungen, Infrarot- und Remissionsspektra sowie Röntgen-Pulverdiffraktionsdaten charakterisiert.

Heterogenized rhodium complexes as hydrogen transfer catalysts

Cationic rhodium(I) norbornadiene complexes with polystyrene-immobilized imidazole, tetramethylbiimidazole or phosphine ligands in the presence of potassium hydroxide catalyze hydrogen transfer from isopropanol to acetophenone and 1-hexene. [Rh(NBD) (poly-PPh₂)₂] ClO₄ complexes are particularly efficient for the reduction of acetophenone, but slow decomposition to rhodium metal is observed.

The thermal properties of polysiloxanes poly(dimethyl siloxane) and poly(diethyl siloxane)

New measurements and literature data on polysiloxanes covering heat capacities, transition parameters, enthalpies, entropies and Gibbs energies are presented and critically reviewed. TheATHAS computation method is used to bring heat capacities into agreement with an approximate frequency spectrum. The various crystal and mesophases are discussed. TheATHAS (1990) recommended data are as follows: For poly(dimethyl siloxane) the glass transition is at 146 K with an increase in heat capacity of 29.24 J/(K mol). The completely crystalline sample melts at about 219 K with a heat of fusion of 2.75 kJ/mol. For poly(diethyl siloxane) the glass transition is at 135 K with an increase in heat capacity of 34.48 J/(K mol). The completely crystalline sample changes to a condis crystal at 206.7 K with a heat of disordering of 2.72 kJ/mol. The transition to a poorly characterized viscous crystal with thermodynamic properties close to the melt occurs at 282.7 K with an enthalpy of transition of 1.84 kJ/mol. Final fusion occurs at 308.5 K and a small endotherm of about 231 J/mol. Tables of heat capacities, enthalpies, entropies and Gibbs energies are given from 0 K to 550 K.

Zusammenfassung Neue Messungen und Literaturangaben von Polysiloxanen über Wärmekapazität, Umwandlungsparameter, Enthalpien, Entropien und Gibbssche Energien werden vorgestellt und kritisch betrachtet. Das Rechenverfahren ATHAS wurde benutzt, um die Wärmekapazitäten mit einem annähernden Frequenzspektrum in Einklang zu bringen. Es wurden die verschiedenen Kristall- und Mesophasen diskutiert. Die von ATHAS (1990) empfohlenen Werte sind wie folgt: Für Poly(dimethylsiloxan) beträgt der Glasumwandlungspunkt 146 K bei Zunahme der Wärmekapazität um 29.24 J/(K.mol). Die vollständing kristalline Probe schmilzt bei etwa 219 K mit einer Schmelzwärme von 2.75 kJ/mol. Für Poly(diethylsiloxan) beträgt der Glasumwandlungspunkt 135 K bei Zunahme der Wärmekapazität um 34.48 J/(K.mol). Die vollständig kristalline Probe wandelt sich bei 206.7 K um, die Fehlordnungswärme beträgt 2.72 kJ/mol. Die Umwandlung in einen wenig verstandenen viskosen Kristall, dessen thermodynamische Eigenschaften denen der Schmelze gleichen, erfolgt bei 282.7 K mit einer Umwandlungsenthalpie von 1.84 kJ/mol. Letztendlich verläuft das Schmelzen bei 308.5 K mit einem kleinen endothermen Effekt von etwa 231 J/mol. Wärmekapazitäten, Enthalpien, Entropien und Gibbssche Energien sind für den Bereich 0 K–550 K tabellarisch angegeben.

Kinetics of decomposition of hydrogen peroxide on Fe(III)?Al(III) hydroxide-oxide systems

The kinetics of decomposition of hydrogen peroxide have been studied on mixed Fe(III)–Al(III) hydroxide and oxide catalysts. While iron hydroxide possesses considerable catalytic activity, aluminium hydroxide has very little activity. The rate of decomposition on mixed hydroxides increases with increasing concentration of aluminium hydroxide up to about 1.5 mol% and decreases thereafter. The mixed oxides possess negligible activity compared to the corresponding hydroxides. The energy of activation, as calculated from the Arrhenius equation, is 10.1 kcal/mol for sample S4, containing 1.52 mol% of alumina. The rate of decomposition of S4 increases with increasing pH up to 6.8 and decreases thereafter. The rate is first order in all these cases. A suitable mechanism is suggested.

Oxidation of carbon monoxide over a copper(II) oxide catalyst

Transient FTIR observations in conjuction with gas phase CO conversion measurements indicate an adsorbed CO species which seems not to participate directly in the oxidation reaction over a silica supported copper(II) oxide catalyst. This observation together with order of reaction determinations suggest that oxidation occurs via an Eley-Rideal mechanism.

Reactivity of finely dispersed iron (III) oxides and oxide hydroxides in solid-state reactions

The kinetics of the reaction of-Fe₂O₃ (hematite) with K₂CO₃ was studied at 600–800 °C for hematite samples prepared in different ways. The results demonstrated that the hematite reactivity is not a simple function of the specific surface area (or particle size), but depends significantly on the sample preparation history, especially at lower reaction temperature. The effect of low-temperature sintering on the hematite reactivity is discussed.

Teilchengrösse) ist, sondern deutlich von der Vorgeschichte der Probe, insbesondere bei tieferer Temperatur, abhängt. Der Einfluss des Tieftemperatursinterns auf die Reaktivität des Hämatits wird diskutiert.

Influence of the pyridine methyl substituent position on the chemical changes of the NCS groups in the thermal decomposition of coordination compounds of the type Cu(NCS)2L2

The influence of the position of the CH₃ group in picoline and lutidine ligands on the degree of chemical change of the NCS groups in coordination compounds of the type Cu(NCS)₂L₂ (whereL=2-, 3- and 4-picoline, and 2,3-, 2,4-, 2,5-, 2,6-, 3,4- and 3,5-lutidine) is dealt with. The most marked effect of the CH₃ group is found to be exerted in position 4. This effect of the methyl group on the degree of chemical change points to the mutual influence of the ligands in coordination compounds of Cu(II).
