Studies on catalytically active surface compounds, IX. Formation of O2? radicals on VCl4/SiO2 catalysts

The conditions for the formation of O ₂ ^– on VCl₄/SiO₂ catalysts have been investigated. It is shown that thermal vacuum treatment (TVT) of unhydrolyzed catalysts leads to partial hydrolysis of the surface vanadium complex caused by the silanol groups of the support. The ability of the catalysts to generate O ₂ ^– radicals was found to depend on the degree of hydrolysis caused by thermal vacuum treatment.

A π-acceptor series for phosphines from51V N.M.R. data on [η5-CpV(CO)3L] complexes

Summary Qualitative molecular orbital considerations of the complexes [⁵-CPV(CO)₃ L] (L = substituted phosphane, SbPh₃, AsPh₃, CN^–) suggest that s' V chemical shift parameters () obtained for these compounds should correlate with the -acceptor abilities of L. Based on observed r-values, the ligands are arranged in sequence of their -acceptor ability, which lies in the order P(OR)₃ > CN^– > PR'₃3 SbPh₃ PPhF₂ > P(i-Bu)₃ P(NR ₂ )₃ > PPh₃ > AsPh₃ Nuclear spin-spin coupling constants J (⁵¹V-³¹ P), line widths H and i.r. data in the (CO) region are also presented.P(OR)₃ = P(OEt)₃, 4-Ethyl-l-phospha-2,6,7-trioxabicyclo[2.2.2]-octane; R = Me, n-Pr; R = Me, Et.     

Solid-Solute Phase Equilibria in Aqueous Solution. XII. Solubility and Thermal Decomposition of Smithsonite

The solubility constant of ZnCO₃, smithsonite, in aqueous NaClO₄ solutions hasbeen investigated as a function of temperature (288.15 T/K 338.15) atconstant ionic strength I = 1.00 mol-kg^–1. In addition, the solubility of zinccarbonate has been determined at 2.00 and 3.00 mol-kg^–1 NaClO₄ (298.15 K).The solubility measurements have been evaluated by applying the Daviesapproximation, the specific ion-interaction theory, and the Pitzer model, respectively.The thermodynamic interpretation leads to an internally consistent set ofthermodynamic data for ZnCO₃ (298.15 K): solubility constant log*K _p50 ⁰ = 7.25 ± 0.10,standard Gibbs energy of formation _i G (ZnCO₃) = (–777.3±0.6)kJ-mol^–1, standard enthalphy of formation _f H (ZnCO₃)= (–820.2±3.0) kJ-mol^–1,and standard entropy S (ZnCO₃) = (77±10)J-mol^–1 K.^–1. Furthermore, the DSCcurve for the thermal decarbonation of zinc carbonate has been recorded in orderto obtain the enthalpy of formation _fH (ZnCO₃) =(–820.2±2.0) from theheat of decomposition. Finally, our results are also consistent within theexperimental error limits with a recent determination of the standard entropy ofsmithsonite, leading to a recommended set of thermodynamic properties of ZnCO₃:      

Vibrational isotope effect of linear and planar molecules: Deuterated bromoethenes

Linear (planar) molecules A and B which are identical except for isotopic substitutions at the atomic sites are considered. Stretching (bending, out-of-plane) frequencies _k and normal modes _k of the isotopically perturbed molecule B are expressed in terms of stretching (bending, out-of-plane) frequencies _i and the corresponding normal modes _i of the unperturbed molecule A. Complete specification of the unperturbed normal modes is not required. All that is needed are stretching (bending, out-of-plane) amplitudes | _i of the normal modes _i at those sites that are affected by isotopic substitution. The rule which interlaces frequencies _k of molecule A with frequencies _i of molecule B is derived. Given two isotopic molecules A and B that differ by a single isotopic substitution at site , the inversion relation is derived. This relation expresses unperturbed stretching (bending, out-of-plane) amplitudes at the site in terms of stretching (bending, out-of-plane) frequencies of molecules A and B . As an example, out-of-plane vibrations of deuterated bromoethene were considered. In the simplest method 12 out-of-plane frequencies of four polydeuterated bromoethenes were calculated from 12 out-of-plane frequencies of bromoethene and three monodeuterated bromoethenes. Standard deviation of thus calculated frequencies from experimental frequencies is =2.74 cm^–1. In another method, 15 out-of-plane frequencies of four polydeuterated bromoethenes and selected monodeuterated bromoethene are calculated from 9 out-of-plane frequencies of bromoethene and the remaining two monodeuterated bromoethenes. Depending on which monodeuterated bromoethene is selected (1-, cis- or trans-), standard deviation of thus obtained frequencies from experimental frequencies is 1=2.84 cm^–1, c=2.96 cm^–1 and t=2.72 cm^–1.     

Nitrogen Trichloride Decomposition in the Presence of Molecular Hydrogen: I. Promotion of Nitrogen Trichloride Decomposition by Molecular Hydrogen Additives Near the Lower Self-Ignition Limit

The promotion of the branched-chain decomposition of nitrogen trichloride by molecular hydrogen additives at room temperature and 20 torr manifests itself in a decrease in the induction period and the acceleration of reactant consumption with an increase in the hydrogen concentration in the NCl₃+ H₂+ He mixtures. The emission spectrum of the H₂+ NCl₃flame contains the intense bands of NCl (b ¹⁺– X ^3–, = 1 – 0, = 0 – 1, and = 0 – 0, where is the vibrational quantum number) and the bands of a hydrogen-free compound. The latter bands can be assigned to electronically excited NCl ₂radicals formed in the H + NCl₃reaction. The calculations restrict the number of elementary reactions favoring promotion. The promotion effect in the system studied should be due to the side reaction of linear branching. The occurrence of the H + NCl₃reaction via two pathways (NHCl + 2Cl and NCl ₂+ HCl) ensures the qualitative agreement between the experimental data and calculation.     

Syntheses and properties of mixed dinuclear copper(II) complexes with heterocyclic dithiocarbamates and a cyclic octadentate tertiary amine

Five new Cu^II complexes of general formula [Cu₂(Rdtc)tpmc](ClO₄)₃, (1)–(5), where tpmc and Rdtc ^– refer to N,N,N,N-tetrakis(2-pyridylmethyl)-1,4,8,11-teraazacyclotetradecane and piperidine- (Pipdtc), 4-morpholine- (Morphdtc), 4-thiomorpholine- (Timdtc), piperazine- (Pzdtc) or N-methylpiperazine- (N-Mepzdtc) dithiocarbamates, respectively, have been prepared. Elemental analyses, conductometric and magnetic measurements, u.v./vis, i.r., e.p.r. and mass spectroscopy have been employed to characterize them. The complexes adopt an exo coordination of Cu^II ions and tpmc. The dithiocarbamate ion joins both the sulphur and the copper atoms acting as a bridging ligand The presence of different heteroatoms in the piperidine ring influences the (C=N) and (C=S) vibrations which decrease in the order of the complexes: Pipdtc>N-Mepipdtc>Pzdtc>Morphdtc>Timdtc ligands. Attention has been paid to the detailed mechanism of the mass spectral fragmentation of the complexes. The g _eff factors of the complexes have been also estimated by e.p.r. spectra. Finally, the complexes obtained demonstrate microbiologycal activity against some bacteria.     

Infrared spectra of nitric oxide adsorbed on photoreduced V/SiO2 catalyst

Thermal behaviour of transition metal complexes of dithiocarbazic esters. II

A thermal study (simultaneous TG and DTA measurements) was carried out on the dithiocarbazic ester complexes M[N³CH₂R₁N²C¹(S)SCH₃]₂, where M=Ni, Pt; R₁=C₆H₅. The following disproportionation reaction occurs in the solid state: II is formed through deprotonation of the CH₂ group bound to N³, whereas III is formed through protonation of N³.The influence of inductive and/or steric effects on the mechanism of this reaction is discussed, taking into account the electrochemical and X-ray data on the complexes Pt[NRNC(S)SR']₂ with differentR substituents: R=H, Ph, CH₂Ph, CH₂C₅H₁₁, CH(CH₃)₂, C(CH₃)₃; R=CH₃, CH₂Ph.These results accord with the behaviour of the same complexes in solution.

Role of tellurium in the oxidation of 1-butene on Te-doped CdMoO4

New active and selective catalysts were prepared by adding different quantities of Te to CdMoO₄. These were already selective at low Te levels, but the one with a Cd/Te/Mo ratio of 1/1/1 was specific for butadiene. The catalytic behavior of the Cd–Te–Mo–O system has been correlated mainly with the CdTeMoO₆ phase in the region rich in Te and with the CdMoO₄ phase with Te as dopant in the region poor in Te.

Determination of lead and cadmium using a polycyclodextrin-modified carbon paste electrode with anodic stripping voltammetry

This work reports the use of and -cyclodextrin-modified carbon paste electrodes (CPE_-CD and CPE_-CD) to determine simultaneously Pb(II) and Cd(II) by means of the electrochemical technique known as anodic stripping voltammetry (ASV). Both modified electrodes displayed good resolution of the oxidation peaks of the said metals. Statistic analysis of the results strongly suggests that the CPE_-CD exhibited a better analytical response that the CPE_-CD, while the detection limits obtained for Pb(II) were 6.3×10^–7 M for the CPE_-CD and 7.14×10^–7 M for the CPE_-CD, whereas for Cd(II) they were 2.51×10^–6 M for the CPE_-CD and 2.03×10^–6 M for the CPE_-CD.     

Structure, activity and selectivity of V2O5-TiO2 catalysts for o-xylene conversion

The formation of needle shaped crystallites of V₆O₁₃ at low V concentrations on V₂O₅-anatase coated catalysts explains the low selectivity for phthalic anhydride during o-xylene oxidation. The (010) plane of V-oxide, most active for selective oxidation of o-xylene, is not accessible and the contact of this plane with the anatase faces promotes the anatase-rutile transformation and the incorporation and blocking of V⁴⁺ ions.

Effect of the support on the coking of nickel catalysts in hydrocarbon steam reforming

Experiments on the coking rates of variously prepared nickel catalysts on TiO₂, Al₂O₃ and MgO in n-butane steam reforming show that changes in the relative coking rate at a rising steam excess in the gas phase depend mainly on the kind of support. The results obtained are accounted for by changes in the electron density at the site of nickel crystallite contact with the surface of various supports.

Seven complex compounds exhibiting the compositions Ni(en)₃Ni(CN)₄·H₂O (I), Ni(en)₃Ni(CN)₄ (II),-Ni(en)₂Ni(CN)₄ (III), Ni(en)Ni(CN)₄·2H₂O (IV), Ni(en)Ni(CN)₄ (V), Ni(en)₂Ni(CN)₄ · 2.5H₂O (VI) and-Ni(en)₂Ni(CN)₄ (VII) were prepared from the system Ni-en-[Ni(CN)₄]^2–-H₂O. These compounds were examined by the methods of infrared spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffractometry, UV-VIS reflectance spectroscopy, and also by the measurement of magnetic moments. The thermal stability, the stoichiometry of thermal decomposition and the mutual transformations were investigated with a derivatograph. The reactions proceeding according to the following schemes were observed if the system was heated to appropriate temperature: (I)(II)(III)(V)(IV) and (VI)(VII)(III)(V)(IV) Process (VII)(III) represents isomerization. The reversibility of the process (V)(IV) is due to the high hygroscopicity of the anhydrous complex. The changes in structure in the course of the individual processes are discussed.
