A New Predictive Equation for the Surface Tensions of Aqueous Mixed Ionic Solutions Conforming to the Linear Isopiestic Relation

The linear isopiestic relation has been used, together with the fundamental Butler equations, to establish a new simple predictive equation for the surface tensions of the mixed ionic solutions. This newly proposed equation can provide the surface tensions of multicomponent solutions using only the data of the corresponding binary subsystems of equal water activity. No binary interaction parameters are required. The predictive capability of the equation has been tested by comparing with the experimental data of the surface tensions for the systems HCl–LiCl–H₂O, HCl–NaClO₄–H₂O, HCl–CaCl₂–H₂O, HCl–SrCl₂–H₂O, HCl–BaCl₂–H₂O, LiCl–NaCl–H₂O, LiCl–KCl–H₂O, NaCl–KCl–H₂O, KNO₃–NH₄NO₃–H₂O, and LiCl–NaCl–KCl–H₂O at 298.15 K; KNO₃–NH₄Cl–H₂O, KBr–Sr(NO₃)₂–H₂O, NaNO₃–Sr(NO₃)₂–H₂O, NaNO₃ –(NH₄)₂SO₄–H₂O, KNO₃–Sr(NO₃)₂– H₂O, NH₄Cl–Sr(NO₃)₂–H₂O, NH₄Cl– (NH₄)₂SO₄–H₂O, KBr–KCl–H₂O, KBr–KCl–NH₄Cl–H₂O, KBr–KNO₃– Sr(NO₃)₂–H₂O, KBr–NH₄Cl–Sr(NO₃)₂–H₂O, KNO₃–NH₄Cl–Sr(NO₃)₂–H₂O, and NH₄Cl–(NH₄)₂SO₄–NaNO₃–H₂O at 291.15 K; and KBr–NaBr–H₂O at temperatures from 283.15 to 308.15 K. The agreement is generally quite good.     

Spectroscopic study of vinylidene chloride—Vinyl chloride copolymers

Summary Deuteration technique was applied to study the micro structures of copolymer series VDC/VC by infrared spectroscopy and high resolution NMR. The CH₂ bending modes of chlorine atom containing polymers assigned as follows; –CCl₂CH₂CCl₂– 1405 cm^–1 (cryst.) and 1410 cm^–1 (amorph.), –CHClCH₂CCl₂– 1422 cm^–1, –CHClCH₂CHCl– 1428 cm^–1 (cryst.) and 1432 cm^–1 (amorph.) –CHClCH₂CH₂CHCl– 1445 cm^–1 and –CCl₂CH₂CH₂CCl₂– 1448 cm^–1. This infrared interpretation shows that only the head to tail addition occurs in the copolymerisation. Nine peaks of the methylene protons were observed clearly in the NMR spectra of the copolymers. The study of the deuterated copolymers revealed that the effects of the chemical groups until the third at both sides from the marked methylene and the stereo configuration of long VC part should be considered to assign the NMR spectra. The CCl₂ group made the chemical shift of the methylene proton to appear at lower magnetic field and the CHCl group gave the opposite behavior.

Zusammenfassung Mit deuterierten Monomeren wurde die Mikrostruktur der Copolymerenserie Vinyliden-Chlorid/Vinyl-Chlorid im Infraroten und mit hochauflösender Kernresonanz untersucht. Für die Biegeschwingung der Chloratome enthaltenden Polymeren der Methylengruppe ergeben sich folgende Werte: –CCl₂CH₂CCl₂– 1405 cm^–1 (krist.) und 1410 cm^–1 (amorph.), –CHClCH₂CCl₂– 1422 cm^–1, –CHClCH₂CHCl– 1428 cm^–1 (krist.) und 1432 cm^–1 (amorph.), –CHClCH₂CH₂CHCl– 1445 cm^–1 und –CCl₂CH₂CH₂CCl₂– 1448 cm^–1.Diese Interpretation des Infraroten zeigt, daß nur die Kopf-Schwanz-Addition bei der Copolymerisation stattfindet. Neun Maxima des Methylenprotons wurden deutlich in den NMR-Spektren der Copolymeren beobachtet. Die Untersuchungen an den deuterierten Copolymeren zeigen, daß die Effekte der chemischen Gruppen bis zur dritten nach beiden Seiten vom markierten Methylen und die Stereokonfiguration von langen Vinyl-Chlorid-Anteilen betrachtet werden müssen, um die NMR-Spektren zu beschreiben. Die CCl₂-Gruppe läßt die chemische Verschiebung des Methylen-protons bei geringeren magnetischen Feldern und die CHCl-Gruppe bei höheren erscheinen.

Enthalpies of some of the phases in the Y–Ba–Cu–O system were determined by solution calorimetry using a Calvet microcalorimeter. The standard enthalpies of formation for the phases were found to be YBa₂Cu₃O_6.60, –2627.9; YBa₂Cu₃O_6.77, –2641.8; YBa₂Cu₃O_6.90, –2652.0; YBa₂Cu₃O_6.99, –2659.3; Y₂Cu₂O₅, –2198.6; Y₂BaCuO₅, –2656.4; BaCuO_2.33, –788.6; and BaCuO_2.42, –796.2 kJ-mol^–1.     

Synthesis and Structure of Organoantimony Peroxides

Organoantimony peroxides (Ar₂SbO)₄(O₂)₂ (Ar = Ph, p-Tol) were synthesized by oxidation of triarylantimony with hydrogen peroxide in the presence of nitrosophenol or 4-chlorophenol in an ether solution. X-ray diffraction analysis of peroxides obtained revealed that four antimony atoms have octahedral coordination and are connected via bridging oxygen atoms and two peroxide groups. The C–Sb, Sb–O_br, Sb–OO, and O–O distances are equal to 2.106–2.127, 1.958–1.974, 2.202–2.246, 1.471, 1.470 Å (Ar = Ph) and 2.086–2.139, 1.932–1.983, 2.215–2.289, 1.445–1.466 Å (Ar = p-Tol).     

Thermodynamics of aqueous gallium chloride. Apparent molar volumes and heat capacities at 25°C

Apparent molar volumes and heat capacities of aqueous GaCl₃ have been measured at 25°C in binary GaCl₃ solutions up to 3 mol-kg^–1, and in ternary GaCl₃-HCl solutions, containing 0.1345 mol-kg^–1 HCl to suppress hydrolysis, up to a concentration of 1 mol-kg^–1 GaCl₃. Using the Pitzer interaction model for the excess properties, and using ridge regression for the derivation of physically meaningful regression parameters, the measurements yield the following results for the standard molar properties and Pitzer parameters at 25°C: V⁰(GaCl₃)=12.85 cm³-mol^–1; ₀ ^v (GaCl₃)=1.10×10^–4 kg-mol^–1–J^–1–cm^–3; _v ¹ (GaCl₃)=2.12×10^–3 kg–mol^–1–J^–1–cm³; Cv(GaCl₃)=1.34×10^–5 kg²–J^–1–cm³; V^o(GaOHCl₂)=13.84 cm³–mol^–1; C _o ^p (GaCl₃)=–480.8 J–K^–1–mol^–1; _J ⁰ (GaCl₃)=–8.02×10^–6 kg–mol^–1–K^–2; _J ¹ (GaCl₃)=0.73×10^–4 kg–mol^–1–K^–2; C_J(GaCl₃)=–2.52×10^–6 kg²-mol^–2-K^–2; C _p ⁰ (GaOHCl₂)=20.4 J-K^–1-mol^–1. The latter parameter has only mathematical significance, its physical meaning is unclear. Comparison of the present experimental results for the standard molar properties of Ga³⁺ with semi-empirical correlations casts doubt upon the general validity of these correlation methods for trivalent cations.     

Determination of oxygen in fluoride glass by proton activation analysis

Oxygen was determined in three kinds of ZrF₄-based fluoride glass [ZrF₄–BaF₂–GdF₃–AlF₃ (ZBGA), ZrF₄–BaF₂–LaF₃–YF₃–AlF₃–LiF–NaF (ZBLYALN) and ZrF₄–BaF₂–LaF₃–YF₃–AlF₃–LiF (ZBLYAL)] used for fabricating optical fiberby¹⁸O(p, n)¹⁸F reaction without significant nuclear interference. The main long life⁹⁶Nb nuclide was produced by the⁹⁶Zr(p,n) reaction in a non-destructive analysis of ZBGA-fluoride glass and reduced by using a coincidence system with Ge(Li) and NaI(T1) detectors. Substoichiometric separation of¹⁸F was also used to determine oxygen in fluoride glass, especially in glass containing yttrium as a component element because the⁸⁹Zr produced by the⁸⁹Y(p,n) reaction is a positron emitter, the same as¹⁸F. It was confirmed that the oxygen concentration in fluoride glass was 13–2460 ppm related to the loss by scattering.     

Quantitative chemical analysis on paper: Determination of phosphate in the presence of large quantities of other ions

Summary A rapid method has been developed for the determination of phosphate by means of filter paper impregnated with lead iodide. A sample is added to the impregnated filter paper by means of a capillary, and after irrigation to cause migration of the ions a white spot is obtained as the lead iodide is converted into the phosphate. The weight of the spot is dependent on the p_H and the quantity of phosphate present.The determination is possible in the presence of SCN^–, Cl^–, Br^–, NO₃ ^–, CO₃ ^–, I^–, IO₃ ^–, CH₃COO^–, B₄O₇ ^2–, F^–, Sb₂O₇ ^4–, K⁺, Na⁺, NH₄ ⁺, OH^–, H⁺, succinic, citric and tartaric acids. The determination is impossible in the presence of C₂O₄ ^2–, SO₄ ^2–, MoO₄ ^2–, NO₂ ^–, SO₃ ^2–, S^2–, CrO₄ ^2–, or CO₃ ^2–.The method permits the determination of 7–100g of phosphate with an accuracy of 2%.

Deposition behaviors and patterning of TiO2 thin films on different SAMs surfaces from titanium sulfate aqueous solution

Patterning of TiO₂ thin films was successfully obtained on different self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) in aqueous solution by micro-contact printing (μCP) method. The substrates were immersed in an aqueous solution containing titanium sulfate (Ti(SO₄)₂) and hydrogen peroxide for deposition at 80 °C. The growth rates on various surfaces were as follows: sulfonic (–SO₃H) > amino (–NH₂) > methyl (–CH₃) > hydroxyl (–OH). According to the XPS results, SAMs with the terminal groups of –SO₃H and –NH₂ were favorable for the deposition. The TiO₂ film deposited on the SAM with the terminal group of –CH₃ could be easily peeled off. Clearly, TiO₂ patterns were obtained on the prepatterned surfaces of –SO₃H/–CH₃ and –NH₂/–CH₃ SAMs. The deposition mechanism might be relevant to electrostatic interaction, Stern layer, lone pair electrons and Van der Vaals forces. The TiO₂ film was anatase after annealing at 500 °C and comprised particles with an average diameter of ca. 10 nm.

Kinetics and mechanism of formation of tetrachloropalladate(II) in the reactions of bis(oxalato)- and bis(malonato) palladate(II) with chloride in acid media

Summary Kinetics of formation of [PdCl₄]^2– from [Pd(ox)₂]^2– and [Pd(mal)₂]^2– has been studies in aqueous acid media in the presence of an excess of chloride ion by stopped-flow spectrophotometry. Both the complexes undergo the transformation in two well separated consecutive steps. In 0.02–0.05 M acid with 0.2 M Cl^–, Pd(AA)^2– dissociates leading to the formation of [Pd(AA)Cl₂]^2– (where AA =ox^2– or mal^2–), which in 0.1–0.6 M acid and 1 M Cl^– forms [PdCl₄]^2– in a relatively slow step. For both steps k_abs=k₀+k₂[H⁺][Cl^–]. Activation parameters corresponding to k₀ and k₂ have been determined. Results indicate that [Pd(mal)₂]^2– is much more labile to substitution than [Pd(ox)₂]^2– and for both the lability is far greater than that of [Pd(bigH)₂]²⁺ and [Pt(ox)₂]^2– reported earlier.     

Quantum Chemical Calculation of Conformations and Rotation Barriers of Functional Groups in Arylsulfonyl Halides

The semiempirical PM3 method is used to calculate the potential functions of internal rotation of the functional groups –SO₂Cl, –NO₂, –CH₃, –OCH₃, and –NH₂ of benzenesulfonyl halide molecules (PhSO₂Hal, Hal = F, Cl, Br, I) and twelve substituted derivatives of benzenesulfonyl chloride. Molecular conformations have been determined and internal rotation barriers of the functional groups have been calculated. For meta- and para-substituted benzenesulfonyl chlorides, the projection of the S–Hal bond is perpendicular to the plane of the benzene ring. The rotation barriers of the –SO₂Hal group of benzenesulfonyl halides increase in the series Hal = F, Cl, Br, I. The rotation barriers of the –SO₂Cl group of benzenesulfonyl chloride with meta- and para-substituents slightly increase with the electron-donor properties of the substituent. The rotation barriers of the functional groups of ortho-substituted benzenesulfonyl chlorides are 3 or 4 times as high as those of the meta- and para-isomers. For para-substituted benzenesulfonyl chlorides, the rotation barriers of the functional groups increase in the order –CH₃, –NO₂, –SO₂Cl, –OCH₃, –NH₂.     

A field-desorption study of thermal stability in potassium pentacyanocobaltates(III)

Field desorption has been applied to research the thermal stability of the compounds K_n[Co(CN)₅X], where X=SO₃ ^2–, CN^–, NO₂ ^–, NO^–, Cl^–, Br^–, I^–, and H₂O. A likely mechanism is proposed for the thermal decomposition. There is a correlation between the tetragonal-distortion parameters and the temperature of onset of destruction for the [Co(CN)₅X]^n– anion.Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Éksperimental'naya Khimiya, Vol. 21, No. 1, pp. 111–115, January–February, 1985.

Dissociative and nondissociative electron attachment in the electron impact energy range 0–14 eV are reported for SOF₂ SOF₄, SO₂F₂, SF₄, SO₂, and SiF₄ compounds which can be formed by electrical discharges in SF₆. The electron energy dependences of the mass-identified negative ions were determined in a time-of-flight mass spectrometer. The ions studied include F^– and SOF ₂ ^–* from SOF₂; SOF ₃ ^– and F^– from SOF₄; SO₂F ₂ ^–* , SO₂F^–, F ₂ ^– , and F^– from SO₂F₂; SF ₄ ^–* and F^– from SF₄; O^–, SO^–, and S^– from SO₂; and SiF ₃ ^– and F^– from SiF₄. Thermochemical data have been determined from the threshold energies of some of the fragment negative ions. Lifetimes of the anions SOF ₂ ^–* , SO₂F ₂ ^–* , and SF ₄ ^–* are also reported.     

Trace determination of TeO42?, TeO32?, AsO2? and VO3? by differential pulse polarography and resolution of binary and ternary mixtures of selected oxyanions

Summary A differential pulse polarographic method has been applied to the determination of trace concentrations of TeO ₄ ^2– , TeO ₃ ^2– , AsO ₂ ^– and VO ₃ ^– . The dependence of the differential pulse peak on various parameters was studied and optimum conditions for the analytical determination of these oxyanions were found. Limits of detection and quantitation have been calculated for the differential pulse polarographic determination of the investigated oxyanions. The selectivity of this technique for the determination of binary (TeO ₄ ^2– -TeO ₃ ^2– , TeO ₄ ^2– -AsO ₂ ^– and TeO ₄ ^2– -VO ₃ ^– ) mixtures and a ternary (TeO ₄ ^2– -TeO ₃ ^2– -AsO ₂ ^– ) mixture has also been reported.

Influence of Anions on Electrochemical Properties of Polypyrrole-Modified Electrodes

The influence of anions ClO₄ ^–, NO₃ ^–, Cl^–, SO₄ ^2–, and DDS^– (dodecyl sulfate) on the cyclic voltammetric response of polypyrrole-modified electrodes is studied. The change in the film composition is examined by electron probe microanalysis. It is established that essential changes in the shape of voltammograms take place during cycling if the anions are not sufficiently freely mobile in the polymer film and insertion of cations from the solution is necessary to guarantee electroneutrality of the system. Some differences between the mobility of Cl^– ions and ClO₄ ^– or NO₃ ^– ions are in good agreement with the results of semi-empirical quantum chemical calculations showing that the interaction of Cl^– and Br^– ions with pyrrole oligomers is stronger than that of NO₃ ^– or ClO₄ ^– ions. Nevertheless, it is established that the peak current determined from voltammograms increases linearly with the increase of the scan rate with very high correlation coefficient. It means that it is possible to describe the behavior of ClO₄ ^–, NO₃ ^– and Cl^– ions in the framework of the model of free ions. The redox behavior of the PPy films doped with anions of low mobility such as SO₄ ^2– and DDS^– depends essentially on the nature of cations in the test solution. It is found that the mobility of cations increases in the row Li⁺ < Na⁺ < K⁺ < Cs⁺. The mobility of DDS^– ions in the PPy in ethanolic solution is significantly higher and their electrochemical properties are quite similar to PPy|Cl or NO₃ ^– film in aqueous solution.     

Interaction of iron carbonyls with Lewis bases

The interaction of iron carbonyls Fe _n (CO) _m (wheren = 1,m = 5;n = 2,m = 9;n = 3,m = 12) with anionic Lewis bases (H^–, F^–, Cl^–, Br^– , I^–, CN^–, SCN^–, N₃ ^–, MeSO₃ ^–, MeCO₂ ^–, CF₃CO₂ ^–, S₂ ^–, CO₃ ^2–, and SO₄ ^2–) passes through two-stage redox-disproportionation. The first stage is the formation of an iron carbonyl-base complex, [Fe _n (CO) _m–1C(O)L]^–, and the second is a single-electron reduction of this complex by another molecule of the initial iron carbonyl, giving rise to Fe(l) and Fe(–l) derivatives.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

New pentafluorothiophenoxo derivatives of tin,lead, antimony,bismuth, gold and platinum

Summary Salts of the anions [SnX₅]^–, [SnX₄Cl, [SnX₃Cl₂]^–, [SnX₃]^–, [PbX₃]^–, [SbX₄]^–, [SbX₃Cl]^–, [SbX₂Cl₂]^–, [BiX₄]^–, [AuCl₂]^–, [AuX₂]^–, [AuXCl]^–, [AuX₄]^–, [Au₂X₆]^2– and [PtX₄]^2–, where X^– = C₆F₅S^–, have been isolated and characterised. The neutral SbX₃ and BiX₃ species, have also been isolated and shown to be pyramidal monomers (¹⁹F.n.m.r., i.r., and Raman spectral evidence). Various physical properties of the complexes prepared, as well as their stereochemistries (where these could be ascertained), are similar to those of the known corresponding halogeno compounds of these elements. These results further demonstrate the pseudo-halide nature of the pentafluorothiophenoxide ion.Author to whom all correspondence should be directed at: Laboratoire de Chimie de Coordination, Uniyersité Louis Pasteur, 67008 Strasbourg, France.
