In DSC studies of liquid-quenched ternary chalcogenide glasses Te₈₀Ge_20–xA _x ^V (A^V=Sb, Bi), the characteristic temperatures (glass transition and crystallization temperatures) were determined. Changes in the thermal stabilities of these glasses, depending on the element A (Sb, Bi) from group V of the periodic table and on its content in the alloy were evaluated. Moreover, the effect of changes in the glass composition on the glass formation ability expressed by the parameter K_g1 was determined.

Microwave Spectrum and Dipole Moment of 1,3‐dioxolane in the Hindered‐Pseudorotation States v = 0, 1, 2, and 3

The microwave spectrum of 1,3dioxolane (C₃H₆O₂) in the ground and first three excited states of hindered pseudorotation was studied. The transitions corresponding to the _b, _c, and _a components of the dipole moment were identified. The spectrum was analyzed using numerical diagonalization of the effective rotational Hamiltonian for four interacting states of hindered pseudorotation. The rotational constants, centrifugal distortion constants, the constants of interaction between general rotation and hindered pseudorotation, and the distances between the quasidegenerate vibrational levels ₀₁ = 64840.5, ₁₂ = 122231.7 and ₂₃ = 119732.7 MHz are determined. From the Stark effect of microwave transitions, the dipole moment components (in Debye units) in the hinderedpseudorotation states v = 0, 1, 2, and 3 are determined: 0|_b|0 = 1|_b|1 = 1.22, 2|_b|2 = 1.20, 3|_b|3 = 1.21, 0|_c|1 = 0.77, 2|_c3 = 0.66, and 1|_a|2 = 0.19.     

The direction of elimination in the pyrolysis kinetics of 3-bromobutyronitrile

The gas phase elimination of 3-bromobutyronitrile, examined in a static system and seasoned vessel, follows a first-order rate law. The reaction in the temperature range of 370.0–420.1°C and pressure range of 54–198 torr, is homogeneous and unimolecular. The temperature dependence of the rate coefficient is given by the equation: log k₁ (s^–1)=(13.74±0.25)–(213.7±3.2) kJ mol^–1 (2.303RT)^–1. The cyano substituent has been found to retard the elimination process through its electronwithdrawing resonance effect. Most of the dehydrobromination product is cis-trans-crotonitrile, while very little of allyl cyanide is obtained. This result is rationalized in terms of electronic factors.

Effect of Surfactants on the Immobilization of 4-(2-Pyridylazo)resorcinol on Silochroms

The effect of cationic surfactants (cetyltrimethylammonium bromide, cetylpyridinium bromide, and tetrabutylammonium perchlorate) and a nonionic surfactant (OP-7) on the conditions of the immobilization of 4-(2-pyridylazo)resorcinol (PAR) on three types of silica gel (Silochrom S-120 (200–350 m), Silochrom S-120 (315–500 m), and Silochrom S-80 (200–350 m)) was studied. It was found that OP-7 does not affect the adsorption of surfactants. The effect of cationic surfactants increases in the order tetrabutylammonium perchlorate < cetyltrimethylammonium bromide < cetylpyridinium bromide. The adsorption activity of silica gels increases in the order Silochrom S-120 (315–500 m) < Silochrom S-80 (200–350 m) < Silochrom S-120 (200–350 m). Cetylpyridinium bromide provides full immobilization of PAR on silica gel Silochrom S-120 (200–350 m) in the pH range 2–9.     

Synthesis of dimethyl sulfide in the presence of zeolites

In the presence of zeolites, dimethyl sulfide is produced either through CH₃OH interaction with H₂S or via CH₃SH decomposition. In accordance with their activities, in both reactions, zeolites arrange in the same sequence: HZSMHNaY>NaXNaY. Realization of the reaction CH₃OH+H₂S is more difficult compared to methanethiol decomposition.

Influence of the gas phase on metallic reference electrodes used in work function measurements

Contact potential differences between electrodes of Pt, Au and Ta of different surface finishing were measured by the dynamic condenser method in propylene and oxygen. Propylene is irreversibly adsorbed, thus changing the work function. This renders the electrodes unsuitable as standard electrodes for work function measurements on catalysts in the atmosphere of hydrocarbons, but they may be used in adsorption studies on oxygen.

An Alternative Method of Introducing Fugacity

In current textbooks fugacity is introduced according to its differential or integral mathematical formulation. In this article an alternative method of explanation is offered. It is suggested that the real state of a pure gas can be described by comparing it to a hypothetical idealized state. The differences between these two states can then be expressed in terms of a function, , defined as (T,P) = _real(T,P) - _ideal(T,P) where _real and _ideal are the chemical potentials of the gas in its real and ideal states, respectively. The function is a molar excess quantity and is expressed as (T,P) = RT1n where is the fugacity coefficient. This approach introduces fugacity deductively through the function, which leads to , the fugacity coefficient. This method is also appropriate for introducing the activity of solution components and the fugacity of a real gas in gaseous mixtures.

Parametric sensitivity of complex temperature-programmed desorption,reaction and reduction

Through simulation of the temperature-programmed desorption, reaction and reduction in a system of parallel reactions. it is shown that the experimental conditions influence the simultaneous or consecutive occurrence of the individual reactions of the system. Adjustment of the concentration of a gaseous reaction component or optimization of the temperature program results in a shift to the desired consecutive occurrence of the reactions. Therefore, a better resolution of the individual reactions can be achieved through a judicious choice of the experimental conditions of the temperature-programmed methods.

Konsekutivität der Einzelreaktionen des Systems beeinflussen. Durch eine Einstellung der Konzentration der gasförmigen Reaktionsprodukte oder durch Optimalisierung des Temperaturprogrammes kann eine gewünschte Folge der Einzelreaktionen erreicht werden. Somit kann durch eine geschickte Wahl der experimentellen Bedingungen bei temperaturprogrammierten Verfahren eine bessere Separierung der Einzelreaktionen erreicht werden.

Determination of fission product ruthenium by isotope dilution mass spectrometry

Isotope dilution mass spectrometry using enriched isotope⁹⁶Ru as a spike was applied to the determination of ruthenium as a fission product. Ruthenium in the solution was oxidized to RuO₄ by Ce/IV/ and separated from coexisting metal elements by distillation. Silica-gel technique was employed to enhance ion current of ruthenium in the mass spectrometric measurement. The lower detection limit was 0.005 g ml^–1 and the relative standard deviations /n=3/ for 1.2 and 0.05 g ml^–1 of ruthenium were 0.2 and 0.5%, respectively.
