Kristallstruktur und elektrische Leitfähigkeit von Li2–2xMn1+xCl4-Spinelltyp-Mischkristallen

Crystal Structure and Electric Conductivity of Spinel-Type Li_2–2xMn_1+xCl₄ Solid Solutions The electric conductivity of the fast lithium ion conductors Li_2–2xMn_1+xCl₄ was measured by impedance spectroscopic methods. The conductivities obtained, e.g. ～ 4 × 10^?1 Ω^?2 cm^?1 at 570 K, depend only little on the lithium content. The crystal structure of Li_1.6Mn_1.2Cl₄ was determined by neutron powder and X-ray single crystal diffraction (space group Fd3 m, Z = 8, a = 1 049.39(6) pm, R_w = 1.4% on the basis of 170 reflections). The lithium deficient chloride crystallizes in an inverse spinel structure like the stoichiometric compound Li₂MnCl₄ according to the formula (Li_0,8)[Li_0,4Mn_0,6]₂Cl₄ with vacancies ( ) at the tetrahedral sites. The decrease of the M_oct? Cl distances with the increase of x reveals that the ionic radius of Mn²⁺ in chlorides is equal or even smaller than that of Li⁺ opposite to fluorides and oxides. The ? Cl distances of spinel type chlorides are 237 ( _tet) and 274 pm ( _oct), respectively. The mechanism of the ionic conductivity is discussed.     

The kinetics and the mechanism of the thermal decomposition of bis(trifluoromethyl) trioxide. The influence of carbonmonoxide on its decomposition

The kinetics of the thermal decomposition of CF₃O₃CF₃ has been investigated in the pressure range of 15–599 torr at temperatures between 59.8 and 90.3°C and also in the presence of CO between 42 and 7°C. The reaction is homogeneous. In the absence of CO the only reaction products are CF₃O₂CF₃ and O₂. The rate of reaction is strictly proportional to the trioxide pressure, and is not affected by the total pressure, the presence of inert gases, and oxygen. The following mechanism explains the experimental results: In the presence of CO there appear CO₂, (CF₃OCO)₂, and CF₃O₂C(O)OCF₃ as products. With increasing temperature the amount of peroxicarbonate decreases, while the amounts of oxalate and CO₂ increase. The rate of decomposition of the trioxide above a limiting pressure of about 10 torr CO is strictly first order and independent of CO pressure, total pressure, and the pressure of the products. The addition of larger amounts of O₂ to the CO containing system chaqnges the course of the reaction.

Rate constant ratios k₂/k₁ = 0.02 ± 0.01 and k₄/k₃ = 0.01 ± 0.005 are suggested for the following reactions: The rate constant ratio of reactions (7) and (c) obeys the Arrhenius equation The Arrhenius equation was derived for (k₈ + k₉).     

The atmospheric chemistry of Oxygenated fuel additives: t-Butyl alcohol,dimethyl ether,and methylt-butyl ether

The mechanisms for the Cl-initiated and OH-initiated atmospheric oxidation of t-butyl alcohol (TBA), methyl t-butyl ether (MTBE), and dimethyl ether (DME) have been determined. For TBA the only products observed are equimolar amounts of H₂CO and acetone, and its atmospheric oxidation can be represented by (7), The mechanism for the atmospheric oxidation of DME is also straight forward, with the only observable product being methyl formate, The mechanism for the atmospheric oxidation of MTBE is more complex, with observable products being t-butyl formate (TBF) and H₂CO. Evidence is presented also for the formation of 2-methoxy-2-methyl propanal (MMP), which is highly reactive and presumably oxidized to products. The atmospheric oxidation of MTBE can be represented by (9) and (10), In terms of atmospheric reactivity, DME, TBA, and MTBE all compare favorably with methanol. In terms of rate of reaction in the atmosphere, DME, MTBE, and TBA are 1.4, 0.40, and 0.28 times as reactive as CH₃OH towards OH on a per carbon basis. With regard tochemistry, atmospheric oxidation of CH₃OH yields highly reactive H₂CO as the sole carbon-containing product. In contrast, only 25% of the carbon in TBA is converted to H₂CO, with the balance yielding unreactive acetone. For DME, all the carbon is converted to methyl formate which is unreactive. Finally, for MTBE, 60% is converted to unreactive TBF while the remaining 40% produces highly reactive MMP. Final assessment of the impact of these materials on the atmospheric reactivity of vehicle emissions requires the determination of their emissions rates under realistic operating conditions.     

A shock tube study of H + HNCO → NH2 + CO

An upper limit on the rate coefficient of was determined to be:

The rate constant for t-C4H9 → H + i-C4H8 and the thermodynamic parameters of t-C4H9

The rate of the reverse reaction of the system has been measured in the range of 584–604 K from a study of the azomethane sensitized pyrolysis of isobutane. Assuming the published value for the rate constant of recombination of t-butyl we obtain Combination with our published data for k₁ permits the evaluation We have modified a previously published structural model of t-butyl by the inclusion of a barrier to free rotation of the methyl groups in order to calculate values of the entropy and enthalpy of t-butyl as a function of temperature. Using standard data for H and for i-C₄H₈ we obtain We have obtained other, independent values of this quantity by a reworking of published data using our new calculations of the entropy and enthalpy of t-butyl. There is substantial agreement between the different values with one exception, namely, that derived from published data on the equilibrium which is significantly lower than the other values. We conclude that the value obtained from the present work and a reworking of published data which involves the use of experimental data on t-butyl recombination is incompatible with the result based on iodination data.

The quantum yields of C₂H₅CHO, C₂H₅ONO, and CH₃CHO were measured as a function of reaction conditions. The primary photochemical act is and it proceeds with a quantum yield ?₁ = 0.38 ± 0.04 independent of temperature. The n-C₃H₇O radicals can react with NO by two routes The n-C₃H₇O radical can decompose via or react with O₂ via Values of k₄/k₂ ? k_4b/k₂ were determined to be (2.0 ± 0.2) × 10¹⁴, (3.1 ± 0.6) × 10¹⁴, and (1.4 ± 0.1) × 10¹⁵ molec/cm³ at 55, 88, and 120°C, respectively, at 150-torr total pressure of N₂.

Chemical lasers produced from O(3P) atom reactions. III. 5-μm CO laser emission from the O + CH reaction

Very strong laser emission at 5 μm was detected when SO₂ and CHBr₃ were flash photolyzed in the vacuum ultraviolet (λ ≥ 165 nm) in the presence of a large amount of diluent (SF₆, He, or Ar). About 110 vibration–rotation transitions ranging from Δv = 18 → 17 to 3 → 2, except 16 → 15, were identified. The primary reactions leading to the CO stimulated emission are as follows: The product analysis results and the variation of laser intensity with flash energy and SO concentration indicate that the following side reactions are also occurring. Addition of a small amount of O₂ enhances the laser output by both eliminating these side reactions and simultaneously producing vibrationally excited CO via reaction (8), which has been previously shown to generate CO stimulated emission. The effects of various reactive (NO and H₂) and inert (He, Ar, SF₆, CO, N₂, N₂O, and CO₂) gases have been examined. All additives (P ≤ 20 torr), except NO and H₂, increase the total laser output. N₂O enhances the power most efficiently, whereas CO, N₂, and CO₂ are less effective and have similar efficiencies. The enhancement of the laser intensity by these near-resonant gases is ascribed to the depletion of CO population at lower levels which thus increases the rates cascading from higher levels. NO and H₂ quench the laser output by chemically reducing the concentration of the CH radical.     

The addition of methyl radicals to hexafluoroacetone

The reaction of methyl radicals (Me) with hexafluoroacetone (HFA), generated from ditertiary butyl peroxide (dtBP), was studied over the temperature range of 402–433 K and the pressure range of 38–111 torr. The reaction resulted in the following displacement process taking place: where TFA refers to trifluoroacetone. The trifluoromethyl radicals that were generated abstract a hydrogen atom from the peroxide: such that k_6a is given by: where θ = 2.303RT kcal/mol. The interaction of methyl and trifluoromethyl radicals results in the following steps: Product analysis shows that k₁₇/kk = 2.0 ± 0.2 such that k₁₇ = 10^10.4±0.5M^?1 · s^?1. The rate constant k₅ is given by: It is concluded that the preexponential factor for the addition of methyl radicals to ketones is lower than that for the addition of methyl radicals to olefins.     

The kinetics of the gas phase decomposition reactions of the hexafluoro-t-butoxy radical

Hexafluoro-t-butoxy radicals have been generated by reacting fluorine with hexafluoro-2-methyl isopropanol: Over the temperature range of 406–600 K the hexafluoro-t-butoxy radical decomposes exclusively by loss of a CF₃ radical [reaction (-2)] rather than by loss of a CH₃ radical [reaction (-1)]: (1) The limits of detectability of the product CF₃COCF₃, by gas-chromatographic analysis, place a lower limit on the ratio k_?2/k_-1 of ～80. The implications of this finding in relation to the reverse radical addition reactions to the carbonyl group are briefly discussed. A thermochemical kinetic calculation reveals a discrepancy in the kinetics and thermodynamics of the decomposition and formation reactions of the related t-butoxy radical:
