Studies with a derivatograph of the properties of a water film on a marble surface modified by tetradecylammonium chloride (TDACl)

The properties of water layers on bare marble and on marble samples covered with various amounts of tetradecylammonium chloride (TDACl) after flotation were investigated by thermal analysis methods. The dependences of the layer thickness, activation energy, enthalpy and entropy of the bonded watervs. the amount of TDACl previously deposited on the marble surface were determined. The results obtained and the literature data were used to propose an interpretation of the changes caused in these parameters by the coverage of the marble surface with TDACl molecules. A correlation between these parameters and the changes in water structure and marble flotatibility is also presented.

The Emergence of the Philosophy of Chemistry

After a long period of neglect, the philosophy of chemistry is slowly being recognized as a newly emerging branch of the philosophy of science. This paper endorses and defends this emergence given the difficulty of reducing all of the philosophical problems raised by chemistry to those already being considered within the philosophy of physics, and recognition that many of the phenomena in chemistry are epistemologically emergent.     

Synthesis of 2,3,7,8-tetramethyldibenzofuran

3,4,3,4-Tetramethyldiphenyl ether readily forms 2,2-dihalo derivatives on bromination and iodination. Heating 2,2-diiodo-4,5,4,5-tetramethyldiphenyl ether with copper powder or oxidation, of 2,2-dilithio-4,5,4,5-tetramethyldiphenyl ether gives 2,3,7,8-tetramethyldibenzofuran, the structure of which was proved by alternative synthesis from 2,2-dinitroand 2,2-diamino-4,5,4,5-tetramethyldiphenyls.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 12, pp. 1597–1599, December, 1972.

On the interpretation of differences in mechanisms, kinetics and dynamics of oxidation reactions on metal and oxide catalysts

Langmuir-Hinshelwood type mechanisms with competitive adsorption are suggested to be more typical for metal catalysts, since, unlike on oxide systems, oxidizable substance and molecular oxygen can be adsorbed on the same (reduced) active sites. Therefore, multiple steady states and critical phenomena are more characteristic for catalysis on metals.

Ab initio investigation of the electron structure in bis-Cu+ acetylene and vinylidene complexes

[Cu(-C₂H₂)₂]⁺, [Cu(-CCH₂)₂]⁺ and [Cu(-C₂H₂) (-CCH₂]⁺ complexes have been studied by the ab initio double-zeta basis set method. It has been established that all calculated compounds are stable to decomposition into two C₂H₂ molecules and Cu⁺ cation and into one C₂H₂ molecules and the respective monocomplex. Calculation results suggest the possibility of intramolecular acetylene-vinylidene rearrangement in the coordination sphere of Cu⁺.

Theory of differential thermal analysis taking into account heat exchange between the specimen and reference cells

A basic formula of differential thermal analysis is evolved for the case when the heat transfer coefficient between the specimen cell and the reference cell is not zero. The more general formula obtained differs from the classical formula by including the parameters of the reference cell and the heat transfer coefficient between the cells. It indicates that utilization of the classical formula is not correct if heat exchange occurs between the cells. To utilize the generalized formula, additional measurements of the temperature changes of the reference material are required. However, if the time constants of the two cells are identical, the formula can be changed to assume the form of the classical formula for DTA if a correction factor is introduced which takes into account the effect of heat exchange between the cells.

Zusammenfassung Für den Fall, dass der Übertragungskoeffizient zwischen der Proben- und der Referenzzelle nicht Zero ist, wurde eine Grundformel der Differentialthermoanalyse entwickelt. Die entstandene Formel, die vielmehr allgemein ist, weicht von der klassischen dadurch ab, dass sie auch die Parameter der Referenzzelle, und den Wärmeübertragungskoeffizient zwischen den Zellen enthält. Sie deutet darauf hin, dass die Anwendung der klassischen Formel in dem Fall nicht einwandfrei ist, wenn ein Wärmeaustausch zwischen den Zellen zustande kommt. Zur Anwendung der verallgemeinerten Formel sind weitere Messungen des Temperaturaustausches vom Referenzmaterial erforderlich. Sind aber die Zeitkonstanten der zwei Zellen identisch, kann die Formel so geändert werden, dass sie die Gestalt der klassischen DTA-Formel annimt, wenn ein, mit der Wirkung des Wärmeaustausches zwischen den Zellen rechnender Korrektionsfaktor eingeführt wird.

Catalytic activity of honeycomb catalysts, I. The benzene-cyclohexane (de)hydrogenation reaction

Monolithic supported platinum catalysts were investigated with respect to their hydrogenation and dehydrogenation activity towards benzene and cyclohexane, respectively, between 250° and 350°C. Conversion of benzene to cyclohexane is optimal for the volume ratio H₂/Bz=5 at lower temperatures. In the cyclohexane dehydrogenation reaction, high temperatures, associated with lower N₂/Cy ratios, are beneficial. No byproducts were observed in the two reactions.

The thermal behaviour of solvates in the LiCI(MgCl2, AlCl3) water-1,4-dioxane systems

The thermal behaviour of the solvates and mixed solvates in the LiCl(MgCl₂, AlCl₃)-water-1,4-dioxane systems was investigated by means of DTA measurements of the melting behaviour and by quasi-isothermal and quasi-isobaric investigations of the thermal decomposition processes.The compounds melt incongruently. The positions of the melting points and the processes of thermal decomposition confirm the assumption that 1,4-dioxane is bonded in the first coordination sphere in the mixed solvate of lithium, but in the cases of magnesium and aluminium chloride it is bonded via hydrogen-bonds and not directly to the cations. Only for the lithium and magnesium compounds does the decomposition of the anhydrous solvates result in anhydrous chlorides.

Zusammenfassung Das thermische Verhalten der Solvate und Mischsolvate der Systeme LiCl, (MgCl₂, AlCl₃)-Wasser-1,4 Dioxan wurde mit Hilfe von DTA-Messungen zum Schmelzverhalten, und quasi-isothermen und quasi-isobaren Untersuchungen zum Ablauf der thermischen Zersetzung Untersucht. Die Verbindungen schmelzen inkongruent. Die Lage der Schmelzpunkte und der Verlauf der thermischen Zersetzung bekräftigen die Vorstellungen, daß 1,4 Dioxan im Mischsolvat des Lithiums in der ersten Koordinationsphäre direkt am Kation, hingegen bei Magnesium und Aluminium über Wasserstoffbrücken gebunden ist. Die Zersetzung der wasserfreien Solvate führt nur im Fall der Lithium- und Magnesiumverbindungen zu den wasserfreien Chloriden.

Effect of α-methylstyrene of the curing behaviour of vinyl ester resins

The curing behaviour of bismethacryloxy derivative of diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (vinyl ester resin) containing styrene as the reactive diluent (40% w/w) was studied using gel point determination method and DSC. Seven samples of styrene/-methylstyrene in the ratio 400, 355, 3010, 2515, 2020, 1525 and 040 were studied. Delayed curing was observed in samples containing increasing proportions of -methylstyrene. The energy of activation decreased from 869 kJ mol^–1 to 333 kJ mol^–1 as the concentration of -methylstyrene increased in the formulations. However, no difference in thermal stability was observed by replacement of styrene by -methylstyrene. It was concluded that in vinyl ester resin samples 10–15% -methylstyrene and 30-25% styrene can be used as reactive diluent.

Steric substituent effect on the resin catalyzed hydrolysis of alkyl acetate esters

The rates of hydrolysis of seven acetate esters substituted in the alkyl group have been studied in the presence of a sulfonated cation exchange resin in 70% aqueous acetone solution. the slower hydrolysis rates with increasing size of substituent are related to increasing steric influence, as determined by decreasing values of the steric substituent parameter, E_s. The efficiency of the resin catalyst is related to the entropy of substituents. Influence caused by steric hindrance on reaction rates accounts satisfactorily for observed variations of the enthalpies and entropies of activation with alkyl group substituents. The entropy, S^x, values increase in the order: n-octyl-
