Deuterium exchange in the systems of H2O+/H2O and H3O+/H2O

The reactions of H₂O⁺, H₃O⁺, D₂O⁺, and D₃O⁺ with neutral H₂O and D₂O were studied by tandem mass spectrometry. The H₂O⁺ and D₂O⁺ ion reactions exhibited multiple channels, including charge transfer, proton transfer (or hydrogen atom abstraction), and isotopic exchange. The H₃O⁺ and D₃O⁺ ion reactions exhibited only isotope exchange. The variation in the abundances of all ions involved in the reactions was measured over a neutral pressure range from 0 to 2 × 10⁻⁵ Torr. A reaction scheme was chosen, which consisted of a sequence of charge transfer, proton transfer, and isotopic exchange reactions. Exact solutions to two groups of simultaneous differential equations were determined; one group started with the reaction of ionized water, and the other group started with the reactions of protonated water. A nonlinear least-squares regression technique was used to determine the rate coefficients of the individual reactions in the schemes from the ion abundance data. Branching ratios and relative rate coefficients were also determined in this manner.A delta chi-squared analysis of the results of the model fitted to the experimental data indicated that the kinetic information about the primary isotopic exchange processes is statistically the most significant. The errors in the derived values of the kinetic information of subsequent channels increased rapidly. Data from previously published selected ion flow tube (SIFT) study were analyzed in the same manner. Rigorous statistical analysis showed that the statistical isotope scrambling model was unable to explain either the SIFT or the tandem mass spectrometry data. This study shows that statistical analysis can be utilized to assess the validity of possible models in explaining experimentally observed kinetic behaviors.     

Proton magnetic shielding in H2O and (H2O)2

The proton magnetic shielding constants in the water molecule and its linear perpendicular dimer are computed from SCF-MO-LCGO wave functions by using the uncoupled Hartree-Fock variation-perturbation procedure due to Karplus and Kolker. The convergence of the calculated shielding constants as well as their gauge dependence is studied. The final results for 17-term polynomial variation function indicate that the best choice for the gauge origin corresponds to the molecular electronic centroid.The calculated proton magnetic shielding constant in the water molecule is in remarkable agreement with experimental data and favourably compares with the best coupled Hartree-Fock results. It follows from the calculations for the water dimer that the H-bond NMR-shift amounts in this case —1.0 ppm and qualitatively agrees with the experimental data for the liquid water.     

Synthetic architectures of TiO2/H2Ti5O11.H2O, ZnO/H2Ti5O11.H2O, ZnO/TiO2/H2Ti5O11.H2O, and ZnO/TiO2 nanocomposites

Although synthetic investigations of inorganic nanomaterials had been carried out extensively over the past decade, few of them have been devoted to fabrication of complex nanostructures that comprise multicomponents/phases (i.e., composite nanobuilding blocks), especially in the area of structural/morphological architecture. In this work, nanobelts of a protonated pentatitanate (H(2)Ti(5)O(11).H(2)O) were synthesized hydrothermally for the first time. Two technologically important transition-metal-oxides TiO(2) and ZnO were then grown respectively or sequentially onto the surface of the as-prepared nanobelts in aqueous mediums. With a main emphasis on organizational manipulation, the present investigation examines general issues of morphological complexity, synthetic interconvertibility, and material combinability related to fabrication of inorganic nanocomposites. Using this model material system, we demonstrate that complex binary and tertiary composite building blocks of TiO(2)/H(2)Ti(5)O(11).H(2)O, ZnO/H(2)Ti(5)O(11).H(2)O, ZnO/TiO(2)/H(2)Ti(5)O(11).H(2)O, and ZnO/TiO(2) can be architected stepwise in solution. Structural features of these nanocomposites have also been addressed.     

Freezing-point of mixtures of H 2 16 O and H 2 18 O

Freezing-point depression of mixtures of H ₂ ¹⁶ O and H ₂ ¹⁸ O were measured. The results showed that the freezing point of the mixture rose linearly with an increase in the molal concentration of H ₂ ¹⁸ O. The results suggested the formation of a solid solution of H ₂ ¹⁶ O and H ₂ ¹⁸ O by freezing, similar to that formed by H ₂ O–D ₂ O, and that H ₂ ¹⁸ O behaves as a different molecule than H ₂ ¹⁶ O.     

Direct Synthesis of H2O2 by a H2/O2 Fuel Cell

Direct synthesis of H₂O₂ solutions by a fuel cell method was reviewed. The fuel cell reactor of [O₂, gas-diffusion cathode electrolyte solutions Nafion membrane electrolyte solutions gas-diffusion anode, H₂] is very effective for formation of H₂O₂. The three-phase boundary (O₂(g)–electrode(s)–electrolyte(l)) in the gas-diffusion cathode is essential for efficient formation of H₂O₂. Fast diffusion processes of O₂ to the active surface and of H₂O₂ to the bulk electrolyte solutions are essential for H₂O₂ accumulation. The maxima H₂O₂ concentrations of 1.2 M (3.5 wt%) and 2.4 M (7.0 wt%) were accomplished by the heat-treated Mn-OEP/AC electrocatalyst with H₂SO₄ electrolyte and by the VGCF electrocatalyst with NaOH electrolyte, respectively, under short circuit conditions.

Syntheses and crystal structures of [Na(H2O)](C17H13O6SO3)* 2H2O and [NKH2O)6]C17H13O6SO3)2*H2O

Two hydrates of sodium 5,7‐dihydroxy‐6,4′‐dimethoxyisoflavone‐3′‐sulfonate ([Na(H₂O)J(C₁₇H₁₃O₆SO₃)*2H₂O,] 1) and nickel 5,7‐dihydroxy‐6,4′‐dimethoxyisoflavone‐3′‐sulfonate ([Ni(H₂O)₆](C₁₇H₁₃O₆SO₃)₂*4H₂O, 2) were synthesized and characterized by IR, 'H NMR and X‐ray diffraction analyses. The hydrate 1 crystallizes in the mono‐clinic system, space group P2(1) with a=0.8201(9) nm, b=0.8030(8) nm, c= 1.5361(16) nm, β=102.052(12)°, V =0.9893(18) nm³, D,= 1.579 g/cm³, Z=2, μ=0.252 nm^?1, F(000)=488, R=0.0353, wR=0.0873. The hydrate 2 belongs to triclinic system, space group P‐1 with a=0.7411(3) nm, b=0.8333(3) nm, c=1.7448(7) nm, α= 86.361(6)°, β=86.389(5)°, γ= 88.999(3)°, V=1.0731(7) nm³, D,=1.587 g/cm³, Z=1, μ=0.649 m^?1, F(000)= 534. In the structure of 1, the sodium cation is coordinated by six oxygen atom and two adjacent ones are bridged by three oxygen atoms to form an octahedron chain. The C? H…?… hydrogen bonds exist between two isoflavone molecules in the structure of 2. Meanwhile, hydrogen bonds in two compounds, link themselves to assemble two three‐dimensional network structures, respectively.

Fe2P2O7(H2O)2

The compound diiron diphosphate dihydrate, Fe₂P₂O₇(H₂O)₂, was synthesized hydro­thermally and crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/n. The compound has a somewhat open framework made up of edge‐sharing iron(II) octahedra that form chains connected by five bridging diphosphates. The remaining octahedral site of each iron is occupied by coordinated water. The H atoms of the water molecules all point into a common channel.     

KCo(H2O)2BP2O8·0.48H2O and K0.17Ca0.42Co(H2O)2BP2O8·H2O: two cobalt borophosphates with helical ribbons and disordered (K,Ca)/H2O schemes

The two title compounds, potassium diaquacobalt(II) borodiphosphate 0.48‐hydrate and potassium–calcium(0.172/0.418) diaquacobalt(II) borodiphosphate monohydrate, were synthesized hydrothermally. They are new members of the borophosphate family characterized by _∞[BP₂O₈]³⁻ helices running along [001] and constructed of boron (Wyckoff position 6b, twofold axis) and phosphorus tetrahedra. The [CoBP₂O₈]⁻ anionic frameworks in the two materials are structurally similar and result from a connection in the ab plane between the CoO₄(H₂O)₂ coordination octahedra (6b position) and the helical ribbons. Nevertheless, the two structures differ in the disorder schemes of the K,Ca and H₂O species. The alkali cations in the structure of the pure potassium compound are disordered over three independent positions, one of them located on a 6b site. Its framework is characterized by double occupation of the tunnels by water molecules located on twofold rotation axes (6b) and a fraction of alkali cations; its cell parameters, compared with those for the mixed K,Ca compound, show abnormal changes, presumably due to the disorder. For the K,Ca compound, the K and Ca cations are on twofold axes (6b) and the channels are occupied only by disordered solvent water molecules. This shows that it is possible, due to the flexibility of the helices, to replace the alkali and alkaline earth cations while retaining the crystal framework.

K2[Mo2O4(C2O4)2(H2O)2]·3H2O

The crystal and molecular structure of dipotassium di‐μ‐oxo‐bis[aqua(oxalato‐O¹,O²)oxomolybdenum(III)] trihydrate, K₂­[Mo₂O₄(C₂O₄)₂(H₂O)₂]·3H₂O, has been determined from X‐ray diffraction data. In the dimeric anion, which has approximate twofold symmetry, each Mo atom is in a distorted octahedral coordination, being bonded to one terminal oxo‐O atom, two bridging O atoms, two O atoms from the oxalato ligand and one from the water mol­ecule. Bond lengths trans to the multiple‐bonded terminal oxo ligand are larger than those in the cis position, confirming the trans influence as a generally valid rule.
