The terbium complex forms a dimer with a coordination number of nine in which each pair of adjacent terbium ions is bridged by four BAA groups via two types of coordination modes. The dimer exhibits strong green luminescence of Tb³⁺.__________From Koordinatsionnaya Khimiya, Vol. 31, No. 6, 2005, pp. 472–478.Original English Text Copyright © 2005 by Bai, Yan, Chen.     

Surface Energy Changes of Heat Treated TEOS Derived Silica Xerogels

The surface energy of monolithic silica xerogels was examined by measuring the interaction of organic probes with xerogels heated at temperatures close to the gel-to-glass transition temperature. Values of the dispersive component of the surface energy, , between 60 and 80 mJ m^-2 have been observed using n-alkanes for silica xerogels heated at 700, 800 and 900°C. At 1000°C, decreases to 8.37 mJ · m^-2. Also the differential heat of adsorption, variation of standard free energy and entropy of adsorption decrease when the silica xerogel is heated at 1000°C, showing a lower interaction potential of the organic probes with the silica surface. For the silica xerogels heated between 700 and 900°C, the acid character varies in accordance with the variation of the chemical nature of the silica. Upon heating at 1000°C, both acid and base characters are very close in accordance with a neutral surface. Within the experimental conditions used in this work, the surface of the obtained monolithic silica xerogels behaves as a glass surface when the treating temperature is 1000°C.     

Molecular Structure and Conformation of p-Bis(trimethylsilyl)benzene: A Study by Gas-Phase Electron Diffraction and Theoretical Calculations

The molecular structure and conformation of p-bis(trimethylsilyl)benzene have been investigated by gas-phase electron diffraction, ab initio MO calculations at the HF/6-31G*, MP2(f.c.)/6-31G*, and B3LYP/6-31G* levels, and MM3 molecular mechanics calculations. The calculations indicate the syn- and anti-coplanar conformations, with two bonds in the plane of the benzene ring, to be energy minima. The perpendicular conformations, with two bonds in a plane orthogonal to the ring plane, are transition states. The two coplanar conformers have nearly the same energy with a low interconversion barrier, 0.3–0.5 kJ mol^–1. The calculated lengths of the and bonds differ by only a few thousandths of an angstrom, in agreement with electron diffraction results from molecules containing either or bonds. The geometrical distortion of the benzene ring in p-bis(trimethylsilyl)-benzene may be described by superimposing independent distortions from each of the two SiMe₃ groups. The electron diffraction intensities from a previous study (Rozsondai, B.; Zelei, B.; Hargittai, I. J. Mol. Struct. 1982, 95, 187) have been reanalyzed, imposing constraints from the theoretical calculations, and using a model based on a 1:1 mixture of the two coplanar conformers. The effective torsion angles of the SiMe₃ groups may indicate nearly free rotation. Important geometrical parameters from the present electron diffraction analysis are , and . While the mean bond lengths are virtually the same from the previous and present analyses, the new ipso angle is in better agreement with the MO calculations [HF, 116.9° MP2(f.c.), 117.1° B3LYP, 116.9°].     

Formation of anionic carbonylrhodium complexes from Wilkinson's complex under conditions of hydroformylation of formaldehyde

The compositions and the dynamics of transformations of carbonylrhodium complexes formed from Wilkinson's complex, RhCl(PPh₃)₃, dissolved in mesitylene—N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMAA) mixtures in which the DMAA concentration varied from 0 to 100 %, in an atmosphere of synthesis gas = 6 MPa,T=373 K) were investigatedin situ by IR spectroscopy. The anion complexes, [Rh(CO)₂(PPh₃) _x (DMAA) _y ]^– (x=1, 2;y=1, 0) and [Rh(CO)₄]^–, which are the centers of formaldehyde hydroformylation, are produced in noticeable quantities when 100 % DMAA is used as a solvent. Separate steps of the formation of anionic complexes from RhCl(PPh₃)₃ have been identified. Under the conditions of hydroformylation of formaldehyde, CH₂O participates in the formation of the anionic complexes, along with DMAA.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Concentration Dependence of Thermoelectric Power in Aqueous Tetra-n-Butylammonium Hydroxide Using Hydrogen Electrodes

Using a hydrogen-electrode thermocell with a temperature difference of 8 K, initialthermoelectric power _in has been determined in aqueous tetra-n-butylammoniumhydroxide solutions for concentrations ranging from 0.001 to 0.2 molal at meantemperatures of 25 and 35°C.

Using the value = 68.8±0.3 J-K^–1for the standard transported entropy of the hydroxideion, values for the enthalpy of transport of tetra-n-butylammonium hydroxide atinfinite dilution were determined to be 36.5±1.5 kJ-mol^–1 at25° and 37.7±2.0kJ-mol^–1 at 35°C.     

Preparation of alumina by sol-gel process,its structures and properties

Alumina monolithic gel has been prepared by ammonia method from anhydrous aluminium chloride and n-butanol using formamide as the solvent. The gel has been made by hydrochloric acid catalysis and using large quantity of water for hydrolysis (molar ratio of water to aluminium-n-butoxide, R>99). Transparent alumina xerogel of size 37.5×20×5 mm approximately has been prepared. The alumina gel has been dried and sintered at 400°C, 1000°C and 1200°C respectively and the powders formed thereby have been examined by XRD, FTIR spectroscopy, SEM and particle size analysis. These studies have confirmed the formation of -alumina at 1200°C having particle size as low as 0.2 m or less along with agglomerates. The density of the powder has increased gradually, where as its particle size has decreased, with the increase of the sintering temperature.     

Effects of SiO2 Barrier and N2 Annealing on Sb-Doped SnO2 Transparent Conducting Film Prepared by Sol-Gel Dip Coating

Oxyfluoride glass-ceramic thin films of nominal 90SiO₂10(Ba_1–xEu_x)MgF₄ compositions were prepared by sol–gel method starting from mixtures of metal trifluoroacetates and silicon alkoxide precursor solutions. Films were deposited on silica glass substrates by spin-coating and heating at 750°C. Eu²⁺ ions were preferentially incorporated into BaMgF₄ nanoparticles, which were dispersed in the silica glass matrix. The films exhibited broad-band blue photoluminescence (PL) in response to the ultraviolet light excitation. Addition of N,N-dimethylformamide to starting coating solutions resulted in a porous microstructure of the heat-treated films. Efficient UV excitation was promoted due to the Rayleigh scattering in the porous films; thereby the PL emissions could be strongly enhanced.     

The effect of pressure on the ionization of water at various temperatures from molal-volume data1

The apparent molal volumes of dilute (0.002 to 1.0m) aqueous HCl and NaOH solutions have been determined at 0, 25, and 50°C and NaCl solutions at 50°C. The partial molal volumes ( ) of HCl, NaOH, and NaCl solutions have been determined from these apparent molal volumes and other reliable data from the literature. The partial-molal-volume changes ( ) for the ionization of water, H₂OH⁺+OH^–, have been determined from 0 to 50°C and 0 to 1m ionic strength from the partial molal volumes of HCl, NaOH, NaCl, and H₂O. The partial molal compressibilities ( for HCl, NaOH, NaCl, and H₂O have been estimated from data in the literature and used to determine the partial molal compressibility changes ( ) for the ionization of water from 0 to 50°C and 0 to 1m ionic strength. The effect of pressure on the ionization constant of water has been estimated from partial-molal-volume and compressibility changes using the relation from 0 to 50°C and 0 to 2000 bars. The results agree very well with the directly measured values.Contribution Number 1548 from the University of Miami.     

Structure and thermodynamic aspects of macrobicyclic polyether-metal ion interactions

The crystals structure of a K⁺-diptychand-15C5-18C6 iodide complex has been determined from X-ray data. The complexed bicyclic molecule crystallizes in the triclinic space group witha = 9.995(4) Å,b = 10.097(4) Å,c = 13.725(6) Å, = 90.12(3)°, = 93.62(4)°, = 97.56(3)°. The structure was solved using heavy atom methods and refined toR = 0.032 for 3262 independent reflections. In the crystal structure, the K⁺ lies between the two crown ether rings, and is coordinated by the nine donor atoms of the ligand molecule. The complexation properties of the ligand with K⁺ and Na⁺ were studied by titration calorimetry in 90% (v/v) MeOH/H₂O solution. The studies indicate the formation of 1 : 1 ligand : metal ion complexes in both solid state and solution.This paper is dedicated to the memory of the late Dr C. J. Pedersen.     

Molecular Structure of tert-Butylazide: A Gas-Phase Electron Diffraction and Quantum Chemical Study

The molecular structure of tert-butylazide has been determined by gas-phase electron diffraction and quantum chemical calculations. The HF/6-31G* and B3LYP/6-31G** calculations yielded near C _s symmetry for the tert-butyl group, anti conformation of the (C)N—N bond with respect to one of the bonds, and an essentially free rotation around the bond with a 0.34 kcal/mol energy difference between syn and anti conformations of the CNNN moiety, the anti being the more stable form. The electron diffraction analysis was carried out by modeling a mixture of conformational isomers, generated by rotating the terminal nitrogen of the azide group, using a computed rotational potential. The data are consistent with C _s symmetry for the tert-butyl group. The bond, however, was found to be rotated out of the anti position, with respect to one of the bonds, by 12.5(12)°. The electron diffraction analysis yielded the following bond lengths (r _g), bond angles, and torsional angles: , .

Ternary complexes of nickel(II) withAMP,ADP andATP as primary ligands and some biologically important polybasic oxygen acids as secondary ligands

Summary Potentiometric equilibrium measurements have been made at 25±0.1 °C (=0.1 mol dm^–3 KNO₃) for the interaction of adenosine-5-mono-, -di-, and-triphosphate (AMP,ADP, andATP) and Ni(II) with biologically important secondary ligand acids (malic, maleic, succinic, tartaric, citric and oxalic acids) in a 1:1:1 ratio and the formation of various 1:1:1 mixed ligand complex species inferred from the potentiometricpH titration curves. Initial estimates of the formation constants of the resulting species and the acid dissociation constants ofAMP,ADP,ATP and secondary ligand acid, have been refined with SUPERQUAD computer program. In some systems logK values are positive, i.e. the ternary complexes are found to be more stable than the corresponding binary complexes. H-bond formation seems to be most effective in deciding the stability of the ternary complexes formed in solution. Stabilities of mixed ligand complexes increases in the orderAMP<ADP<ATP. With respect to the secondary ligands, the formation constants of the mixed lignads complexes decrease in the order succinic>maleic>tartaric>malic>citric>oxalic acid.

Ternäre Komplexe von Nickel(II) mitAMP,ADP undATP als Primärliganden und einigen biologisch wichtigen polyfunktionellen Carbonsäuren als Sekundärliganden

Zusammenfassung Es wurde die Wechselwirkung von Adenosin-5-mono-, -di- und -triphosphat (AMP,ADP undATP) und Ni(II) mit biologisch relevanten Säuren als Sekundärliganden (Äpfel-, Malein-, Bernstein-, Wein-, Zitronen- und Oxalsäure) im Verhältnis 1:1:1 mittels potentiometrischer Gleichgewichtsmessungen bei 25±0.1 °C und =0.1 mol dm^–3 KNO₃ untersucht. Aus den potentiometrischepH-Titrationen ergaben sich verschiedene 1:1:1-Komplexe mit gemischten Liganden. Zunächst abgeschätzte Komplexbildungskonstanten und Säuredissoziations-konstanten vonAMP,ADP,ATP mit den als Sekundärliganden eingesetzten Säuren wurden über das SUPERQUAD-Rechenprogramm verfeinert. In einigen Systemen sind die Werte von logK positiv, was bedeutet, daß die ternären Komplexe stabiler sind als die entsprechenden binären Komplexe. In einige ternären Komplexen scheinen die Wasserstoffbrücken zwischen den Liganden entscheidend zu sein. Die Stabilitäten der gemischten Liganden steigen in der ReiheAMP<ADP<ATP an. Bezüglich der Sekundärliganden ergibt sich die absteigende Stabilitätsreihung Bernsteinsäure>Maleinsäure>Weinsäure>Äpfelsäure>Zitronensäure>Oxalsäure.

     

The first ionization constant from 25 to 200°C and 2000 bar for orthophosphoric acid

The ionization constant of orthophosphoric acid, determined by conductivity measurements, decreased from 7.11×10^–3 at 25°C to 6.2×10^–4 mol-kg^–1 at 200°C. The pressure effect to 2000 bar was also measured and the ratio K₂₀₀₀/K₁ is 2.7 at 25°C and 3.7 at 200°C. The standard partial molar volume change for the ionization at 1 bar, , changes from –16.1 at 25°C to –33.3 cm³-mol^–1 at 200°C. The partial molar compressibility change for the ionization, , varies from –3.8×10^–3 to –8.3×10^–3 cm³-mol^–1 bar^–1 over the same temperature range.     

Effect of solvent on reactions of coordination complexes. Part 12: Kinetics and mechanism of chloride substitution reactions ofcis-(chloro)(2-aminoethanol)bis(ethylenediamine) cobalt(III) andcis-(chloro)(1-aminopropan-2-ol)-bis(ethylenediamine) cobalt(III) ions in acidic and basic ethylene glycol-water media

Summary The loss of chloride ion from the title complexes resulted in the predominant formation of the chelated amino-alcohol productscis-[Co(en)₂(NH₂CH₂CH(X)O/H)]^2+/3+ (X=H or Me). The kinetics of chloride release were investigated in aqueous ethylene glycol (EG) media (0 to 80% by wt of EG) at 40°–65°C in acidic media and at 20°–35°C in basic media. The rate constants decreased linearly with increasing mol fraction of the cosolvent. The plots of log kversus D _s ^–1 (S_s=bulk dielectric constant, k=first order or second order rate constants) were essentially linear with negative slopes for the reactions in an acidic medium, and tended to be curved for the base catalysed reactions. The activation enthalpies and entropiesversus X_EG (X_EG=mol fraction of EG) plots indicated extrema which might be associated with the effects of the solvent structural changes on these thermodynamic parameters. The observed solvent isotope effect at 50°C, [HClO₄]=0.010 mol dm^–3 for Cl^– release was lower than the value for the aquation ofcis-[Co(en)₂(alkylamine)Cl]²⁺ complexes reported in the literature. This is consistent with the lack of direct solvent molecule participation in the actual act of substitution at the cobalt(III) centre, as expected for a true intramolecular reaction.Part-11: A. C.

Synthesis and properties of iron(II) and iron(III) complexes with 3-(α,γ-dicarboxy-n-propylidene-hydrazino)-5,6-diphenyl-1,2,4-triazine (DCPT)

Summary Proton-ligand formation constants ofDCPT and metal-ligand formation constants of its complexes with Fe(II) and Fe(III) have been determined potentiometrically at 10, 20, 30, and 40°C in 75% (v/v) dioxane-water at 0.10M ionic strength (KNO₃). The thermodynamic parameters G, H, and S have also been evaluated. The possibility of formingM(HL),M(HL)₂, andM(HL)₃ species was substantiated from potentiometric and electronic absorption measurements. The values of the stability constants logK _M(HL), log , and log derived from the spectrophotometric method are in good agreement with those obtained from potentiometric data. The use ofDCPT as an analytical reagent for the spectrophotometric determination of iron is discussed. The solid complexes have been characterized by chemical analysis and magnetic susceptibility, IR, NMR, and electronic spectral data.

Zusammenfassung Die Bildungskonstanten sowohl vonDCPT als auch seiner Komplexe mit Fe(II) und Fe(III) wurden bei 10, 20, 30 und 40°C in Dioxan-Wasser (75% (v/v)) bei einer lonenstärke von 0.1M KNO₃ potentiometrisch bestimmt. Zusätzlich wurden die thermodynamischen Parameter G, H und S ermittelt. Die Wahrscheinlichkeit des Auftretens von Komplexen der ArtM(HL),M(HL)₂ undM(HL)₃ wurde mittels potentiometrischer und absorptionsspektroskopischer Messungen erhärtet. Nach beiden Methoden ermittelte Stabilitätkonstanten stimmen gut überein. Die Verwendung vonDCPT als analytisches Reagens zur spektrophotometrischen Eisenbestimmung wird diskutiert. Die Komplexe konnten in Substanz hergestellt werden und wurden durch chemische Analyse und über ihre magnetischen und spektroskopischen Eigenschaften charakterisiert.

Complexation of uranium(VI) by salicylate and substituted salicylates: A kinetic study

Summary Kinetic studies on the complexation of uranium(VI) by salicylate and various substituted salicylates have been carried out using the stopped-flow spectrophotometric technique at pH 7.0–8.5 (NH₄OH+NH₄NO₃ buffer). Results are in conformity with a mechanism involving binding of UO₂OH⁺ species through the carboxylate group of the salicylate to form an inner-sphere species in a fast equilibrium (equilibrium constant=K) followed by a slow rate-determining ring closure (rate constant=k) involving loss of a molecule of water between the OH group bound to uranium(VI) and the phenolic group of the salicylate. The value of the equilibrium constant (K) obtained from the kinetic data in the case of 5-sulphosalicylate (log K=3.21 at 25 °C, I=1 M) is compatible with the literature thermodynamic value (log K = 3.89 at 25 °C, I=0.015 M). Increase in pH retards the reaction due to the equilibrium, UO₂OH⁺ + OH^– UO₂(OH)₂, the UO₂(OH)₂ being unreactive. The average value of K (log K=8.58 at 25°C, I=1M) obtained kinetically from the results of investigation with different ligands is also in good agreement with the literature thermodynamic value (log K= 8.8 at 25°C, I=0.1M). Both K and k are sensitive to the nature of the substituent in the benzene ring, decreasing with increasing acidity of the -CO₂H group of the salicyclic acid; the substituent effect is well demonstrated by the plot of log kversus _L (where ), which is linear. H^# and S^# values corresponding to k have been evaluated in each case. S^# values are all negative in conformity with ring closure in the rate-determining step.
