Spectral properties and temperature-dependence of semiconductivity of various doped bismuth trioxide polycrystals

Several samples of Nb₂O₅-doped Bi₂O₃ and Y₂O₃-doped Bi₂O₃ were carefully prepared and sintered at 700° for 3 hours. Extensive measurements were carried out on these samples, including X-ray diffraction spectra, infrared absorption spectra and the temperature-dependence of the DC-electrical conductivity in the solid state. The results obtained were discussed, correlated and interpreted. Finally, the optimum compositions were established and recommended for doped-Bi₂O₃ in the electronics industry.

Understanding the properties of isospectral points and pairs in graphs: The concept of orthogonal relation

The mathematical property orthogonal relationship is used in proving the fact that isospectrality, isocodality and isocoefficiency of vertices within a graph are all equivalent. The same is true for isospectrality, strict isocodality and strict isocoefficiency of pairs (including edges) within a graph, whereas the weak versions of the latter properties are necessary but not sufficient for isospectrality of pairs. Similarly, necessary and sufficient conditions for isospectrality of vertices and pairs in different graphs are derived. In all these proofs, the concept of orthogonal relation plays a major role in that it allows the use of tools of elementary linear algebra.     

Classification of topologically chiral molecules

Graphs are partitioned into six classes from the perspective of chirality, depending on whether they are topologically achiral, whether there is at least one topologically achiral embedding, whether there is at least one rigidly achiral embedding, and whether there is at least one rigidly achiral presentation. Three of these classes are well represented by a variety of chemical structures: topologically chiral molecular graphs with no topologically achiral embeddings, topologically chiral molecular graphs with at least one rigidly achiral embedding, and topologically achiral molecular graphs with at least one rigidly achiral presentation. Known representatives of these three classes are described. Various meanings associated with the concepts molecular graph and intrinsic chirality are critically discussed. Previous arrangements of molecular graphs and molecules in a hierarchical order, ranging from the most to the least chiral, are interpreted in terms of the graph's and molecule's chiral persistence.     

Kinetics of decomposition of hydrogen peroxide on Fe(III)?Al(III) hydroxide-oxide systems

The kinetics of decomposition of hydrogen peroxide have been studied on mixed Fe(III)–Al(III) hydroxide and oxide catalysts. While iron hydroxide possesses considerable catalytic activity, aluminium hydroxide has very little activity. The rate of decomposition on mixed hydroxides increases with increasing concentration of aluminium hydroxide up to about 1.5 mol% and decreases thereafter. The mixed oxides possess negligible activity compared to the corresponding hydroxides. The energy of activation, as calculated from the Arrhenius equation, is 10.1 kcal/mol for sample S4, containing 1.52 mol% of alumina. The rate of decomposition of S4 increases with increasing pH up to 6.8 and decreases thereafter. The rate is first order in all these cases. A suitable mechanism is suggested.

Oxidative conversion of butane and pentane on superacid catalysts

Catalytic properties of AlBr₃, AlBr₃–CuCl₂ and AlBr₃–NiSO₄ in liquid-phase conversion of butane and pentane have been examined. A possibility for the oxidative condensation has been revealed due to both the stoichiometric reduction of Ni²⁺ and Cu²⁺ ions entering into the composition of superacid catalysts, and the catalytic oxidation in the presence of bromine as an oxidant. Nature of the centers responsible for the oxidative condensation of lower paraffins is discussed.

IR and thermal studies on lithium oxomolybdenum(VI) oxalate

A new molybdenum(VI) complex, Li₂[Mo₂O₆(C₂O₄)] · 2 H₂O (LMO), was prepared and characterized by chemical analysis and IR spectral studies. Its thermal decomposition was studied by using TG and DTA techniques. LMO loses its two moles of water between 75 and 170° to give the anhydrous product, which decomposes in three stages between 240 and 380°. The first two stages occur in the temperature ranges 240–280° and 280–305°, to give intermediates with the tentative compositions Li₆[Mo₆O₁₉(C₂O₄)₂] and Li₆[Mo₆O₂₀(C₂O₄)], respectively. In the third stage, which extends up to 380°, Li₆[Mo₆O₂₀(C₂O₄)] decomposes to give the end-product, Li₂Mo₂O₇.

Quantitative determination by differential thermal analysis of the heat liberated in the thermoluminescence of natural calcite

The paper presents results of the experimental determination of the quantity of heat liberated during the thermoluminesence (TL) of natural calcite.As the method for experimental investigation, quantitative differential thermal analysis was used, in which the reference was natural calcite which had previously been thermally treated at 623 K for 60 min to eliminate the TL effect.It was established that during the TL of natural calcite 7.11 J/g is liberated, which is in accordance with results obtained by estimating possible values of the concentration of charge carriers at trapping centers and the energy liberated by elementary recombination process.

Differential scanning calorimetry of chloroquine sulphate exposed to sun,heat and ultraviolet radiation

Chloroquine sulphate, like the phosphate, is an antimalarial formulation widely used in the tropics. The stability of such formulations is therefore of interest in the combat against malaria. A DSC study has been made of the effects of exposure to the sun, heat and UV radiation on the stability of chloroquine sulphate, similarly as performed earlier for chloroquine phosphate. When freshly recrystallized from a water-acetone mixture, chloroquine sulphate exhibits two endothermic peaks, at 169.4° and 204.7°, for the expulsion of crystal water (one molecule) and for the melting process, respectively. The exposure of chloroquine sulphate to the sun, heat and UV radiation leads to splitting of the peak for melting.

Zusammenfassung Chloroquine-Sulfat ist ebenso wie das entsprechende Phosphatderivat ein in den Tropen weitverbreitet angewandtes Antimalaria-Präparat. Die Stabilität dieses Präparates hat damit Bedeutung für die Malariabekämpfung. Die vorliegende Arbeit ist eine Erweiterung einer Untersuchung über den Effekt der Einwirkung.von Sonne, Hitze und UV-Strahlen auf die Stabilität von Chloroquine-Phosphat auf Chloroquine-Sulfat. Aus Wasser-Aceton-Mischungen frisch kristallisiertes Chloroquine-Sulfat zeigt zwei endotherme Peaks bei 169,4 und 204,7 °C, die durch Abgabe von Kristallwasser (ein Molekül) bzw. durch den Schmelzvorgang bedingt sind. Wird Chloroquine-Sulfat der Sonne, Wärme oder UV-Licht ausgesetzt, so wird der dem Schmelzvorgang zuzuscheibende Peak aufgespalten.

The effect of the network structure of the thermal properties ofcis-1,4-polyisoprene vulcanizates

The thermal properties ofcis-1,4-polyisoprene and its vulcanizates were investigated by means of thermal analysis and complementary methods. It was found that cross-linking generally increases the thermal stability of this elastomer, though distinct differences between peroxide and sulphur vulcanizates were observed. Polysulphide cross-links cleave readily at elevated temperature, and transform to cross-links of lower sulphidity, mainly disulphide. However, some of them are probably oxidized first to sulphoxides, and further to sulphenic or thiosulphoxylic acids. The products formed involve the ionic decomposition of the peroxides and thereby prevent the autocatalytic thermooxidative destruction ofcis-1,4-polyisoprene.

---

Zusammenfassung Es wurden die thermischen Eigenschaften voncis-1,4-Polyisopren und dessen Vulkanisaten untersucht. Dabei wurden die Derivatographie und komplementäre analytische Methoden benutzt. Es wurde festgestellt, dass die Vernetzung im allgemeinen die thermische Stabilität von diesen Elastomeren erhöht, obwohl ein ausgeprägter Unterschied zwischen Peroxid- und Schwefelvulkanisaten beobachtet wurde. Die polysulfidischen Brücken wurden bei erhöhter Temperatur leicht gespalten und verwandeln sich in Brücken, die eine niedrigere Schwefelatomzahl besitzen und zwar hauptsächlich disulfidisch sind. Ein Teil der Schwefelatome wurde jedoch wahrscheínlich unter Bildung von Sulfin- und Thio-Sulfoxysäuren oxydiert. Diese Produkte verursachen ionische Zersetzung von Peroxiden und verhindern auf diese Weise die autokatalytische thermooxidative Zersetzung voncis-1,4-Polyisopren.

Mass spectrometric method to determine the mode of carbon-metal bonding during catalytic hydrogenolysis of hydrocarbons

A new method based on high-resolution mass-spectrometry has been developed to distinguish between the modes of adsorption of ethane (i.e. 1,2- or 1,1-diadsorbed form) on the catalyst surface. It has been established that under the conditions of H-D exchange, the 1,2-diadsorbed mode is operative, whereas at higher temperatures this interaction can be converted into 1,1-attachment.

On the mechanism of propylene oxidation over gallium-molybdenum oxide catalysts

The products of selective oxidation are shown to be formed via a stepwise mechanism with participation of surface allylic complexes. A successive transformation of -allyl to -allyl and further to acrolein is possible. The products of complete oxidation may be formed through surface carbonate-carboxylate complexes via either a stepwise mechanism involving the catalyst's oxygen, or a concerted mechanism with the participation of molecular oxygen.
