Crystal Structure Study of the Metastable β-modification of Glycine and its Transformation into the α-modification

Crystal structure refinement was performed of the metastable modification of glycine (space gr. P2₁, a = 5.092(2) , b = 6.273(3) , c = 5.384(3), = 113.17(4)°, Z = 2, R = 0.0274). The crystals were obtained by a new method (not described in the literature): they were precipitated from a water solution with the addition of glacial acetic acid. The crystal structure of the glycine modification [space gr. P2₁/n, a =5.106(1) , b = 11.979(5) , c = 5.463(2) , = 111.75(2)°:, Z =4] was refined for comparison. Transition from the to the modification in a damp atmosphere was revealed, resulting in the formation of a strongly strained crystal of a mosaic structure. The orientation of the crystallographic axes in the newly formed crystal of the modification relative to the axes in the initial crystal of the modification was determined. It is shown that as in glycine, the lengths of the intramolecular C—O bonds in the modification are fairly similar [1.248(2) and 1.253(2) ] and the previously found significant difference between them is most likely due to the errors of the photomethod. A comparative analysis of the crystal structures of the and glycine modifications (glycine zwitterion packings and structure of intermolecular hydrogen bond networks) was performed. Data of the analysis are used to discuss the properties of the glycine modifications, the possible reasons for the stability of the modification in dry air, the difficulties of crystal growth from solutions, and the ease of crystallization of the modification under various conditions.     

Normal and reversed-phase HPLC for more complete evaluation of tocopherols,retinols, carotenes and sterols in dairy products

Summary We have previously described a normal-phase HPLC method for the simultaneous determination of , , and tocopherol, thecis andtrans isomers of retinol, and total carotenes in different Italian cheeses and milk. In this paper we describe a reversed-phase HPLC method using solely methanol as the mobile phase for the determination of -tocopherol, -+-tocopherols, total retinols, cholesterol, -sitosterol, campesterol and stigmasterol, and - and -carotene. The method developed has been applied to some new dairy products such as natural Quark, with olive, basil or banana and to processed cheese with tomato and the results have been compared with the corresponding results obtained by the normal-phase method. The conclusion is that more complete evaluation of the tocopherol, retinol, carotene and sterol content of dairy products, especially when vegetables and fruits are present, is necessary and can be obtained using both the normal- and reversed-phase HPLC methodologies.

Mössbauer study of the thermal decompositions of alkaline earth tris(oxalato)ferrates(III)

The thermal decompositions of alkaline earth tris(oxalato)ferrates(III) (Mg, Ca, Sr and Ba) have been studied by Mössbauer spectroscopy and other techniques. During the thermal decomposition, dehydration occurs first, followed by reduction to iron(II) species, and oxides and ferrites (MFe^IIIO₄) are then formed at higher temperature. In the case of strontium tris(oxalato)ferrate(III), strontium ferrite (SrFe^IVO₄) is formed at 700°.

An investigation of some homo- and heterobinuclear complexes of copper(II) and nickel(II) with pyridine-2-aldoxime

The reactions between copper(II) or nickel(II) with thecis-pyridine-2-aldoxime complexes of the same metal ions have been investigated by spectrophotometric measurements. The homo and heterobinuclear chelates involved have been isolated as the chlorides and characterized by spectroscopic and thermoanalytical techniques. The first decomposition step is not dependent on the furnace atmosphere (N₂ or O₂) and is accompanied by a large exothermic effect (DSC curves in N₂). TG curves show that binuclear complexes are generally slightly less stable than the respective mononuclear complexes but, in the case of [Cu(NiL₂)Cl₂(H₂O)₂], the complexation of copper(II) gives rise a drastic decrease of its thermal stability.

Zusammenfassung Die Reaktionen zwischen Kupfer(II) und Nickel(II) mit den cis-Pyridin-2-aldoxim-Komplexen der gleichen Metallionen wurden spektrophotometrisch untersucht. Die homo- und heterobinuklearen Chelate wurden als Chloride isoliert und durch spektroskopische und thermoanalytische Methoden charakterisiert. Der erste Zersetzungsschritt ist unabhängig von der Ofenatmosphäre (N₂ oder O₂) und ist stark exotherm (s. DSC-Kurven in Abb. 1). Die TG-Kurven lassen erkennen, dass zweikernige Komplexe im allgemeinen etwas weniger stabil als die entsprechenden einkernigen Komplexe sind, im Falle von [Cu(NiL₂)Cl₂(H₂O)₂], aber die Anlagerung von Liganden an das Kupfer zu einer drastischen Verminderung der Stabilität führt.

Thermal studies of some divalent metal chelates of croconic acid

The thermal properties of chelates of croconic acid and squaric acid with divalent copper, cobalt, nickel and zinc have been investigated by TG and DTA. The decreasing order of thermal stability for the decomposition of the croconate chelates was Ni > > Zn > Co=Cu and for the squarate complexes, Zn > Co=Cu > Ni. The copper croconate TG showed water loss in two distinct steps. This was rationalized on the basis of the already known Jahn-Teller effect for this molecule. The nickel squarate was thought to have a different structure than the other squarate chelates. Activation energies were calculated for the croconate chelates from their DTA curves.

Zusammenfassung Die thermischen Eigenschaften der Chelate der Crocon- und Squarsäure mit zweiwertigem Kupfer, Cobalt, Nickel und Zink wurden durch TG und DTA untersucht. Die Abnahme der thermischen Stabilität bei der Zersetzung der Croconat-Chelate verlief von Ni>Zn>Co=Cu und der Squarat-Komplexe von Zn>Co=Cu>Ni. Die TG der Kupfercroconate wies eine Wasserabgabe in zwei deutlichen Stufen auf. Diese erklärt sich aufgrund des bereits bekannten Jahn-Teller Effekts für dieses Molekül. Für Nickelsquarat wurde eine andere Struktur angenommen als für die anderen Squaratkomplexe. Die Aktivierungsenergien für die Croconatchelate wurden aus ihren DTA-Kurven berechnet.

Résumé Les propriétés thermiques des chélates formés par les acides croconique et squarique avec le cuivre, le cobalt, le nickel et le zinc ont été étudiées par TG et ATD. La stabilité thermique des chélates de l'acide croconique décroît dans l'ordre Ni>Zn>Co=Cu et pour l'acide squarique Zn>Co=Cu>Ni. L'étude TG du croconate de cuivre révèle une perte d'eau en deux étapes distinctes. Ceci s'explique par l'effet Jahn-Teller, déjà connu pour cette molécule. Le squarate de nickel possède sans dute une structure différente de celle des autres chélates de l'acide squarique. Les énergies d'activation des chélates de l'acide croconiqus ont été calculées à partir des courbes ATD.

Heat evolution during hydration of Ca4(Al6O12)(SO4)

The hydration of the sulphatealuminate phase Ca₄(Al₆O₁₂)(SO₄) at room temperature was observed by means of differential calorimetry and quantitative X-ray diffraction phase analysis in situ. The results were used to evaluate the kinetics of the hydration process and to explain the causes of the exothermic effects: an initial surface reaction, the formation of a highly dispersed system, and the crystallization of monosulphate, Ca₄(Al₂O₆)(SO₄) · 12H₂O, and gibbsite, Al(OH)₃. The experiments showed an increase in efficiency of hydration with a higher mass ratio of water to solid phase (from 143.8 kJ/mol) atw/s=1 to 170.0 kJ/mol atw/s=10).

Diffusion of hydrocarbons in mordenite and molecular-sieve selectivity of mordenite catalysts

The diffusion of n-octane and n-propylbenzene in mordenite and the molecularsieve selectivity in hydrocracking of octane-propylbenzene binary mixtures over a mordenite catalyst have been studied. The hydrocarbon diffusivities and molecular-sieve selectivity change are accounted for by diffusion through mordenite channel mouths poisoned with an easily adsorbable hydrocarbon.

Poissonian stationary distribution in a class of detailed balanced reactions

We investigate those detailed balanced (vectorial) complex chemical reactions that belong to the class of simple Markovian population processes and show that there is no chemical reaction with independent reaction rates having a Poissonian stationary distribution. There exists, however, a manifold of reactions with dependent (as given) reaction rates and with Poissonian stationary distribution.

Acetylene adsorption on a clean iridium surface

The interaction of C₂H₂ with a polycrystalline iridium surface at 140 KT500 K has been studied by AES, XPS and UPS. A model of the bonding between C₂H₂ and Ir by the 1 orbitals of the hydrocarbon is proposed. The more pronounced energy splitting between the orbitals of acetylene during adsorption compared to that in the gas phase is ascribed to deformation of the acetylene molecule.

Displacement of hydrogen from rhodium surface by carbon monoxide under conditions of pulsed-gas chromatography

Interaction of carbon monoxide with hydrogen on the surface of rhodium catalysts has been investigated under conditions of pulsed-gas chromatography within the temperature range of –80 to 500 °C. At temperatures up to about 180 °C adsorbed hydrogen was found to be displaced to the gaseous phase as a result of carbon oxide adsorption. At higher temperatures conversion of carbon monoxide and hydrogen to methane takes place.

Atomic spectroscopy for detection in thermal analysis

An atomic absorption spectrophotometer is coupled to a conventional thermoanalytical quartz furnace as used for TG and DTG to detect the thermally evolved products. In this combined system, the dry aerosol (smoke) obtained by cooling the vapour evolved is transported from the furnace to the flame for metal-specific atomic absorption detection. The particular design of the furnace outlet promotes the formation of stable aerosols. Optimum experimental conditions were determined, using zinc chloride solution, by varying the specimen mass, the heating rate and the flow rate of the furnace gas at a linear temperature program. The absorbancevs. temperature curves obtained with this method for various zinc compounds are compared with the corresponding DTG curves. The applicability of the technique for studying heterogeneous reactions with carbon tetrachloride and hexane vapours is presented. The utilization of an atomic absorption spectrophotometer equipped with a quartz cuvette for detecting the thermal evolution of mercury vapours is described, as well as detection potentials by molecular absorption (for NO and NH₃) and light scattering (for smoke evolved from organic matter). The results obtained with the suggested methods may, in some respects, valuably complement the results achieved with DTG and with flame ionization detection.

Zusammenfassung Ein Atomabsorptionsspektrometer wurde mit einem konventionellen thermoanalytischen Quarzofen gekoppelt um thermische Abspaltprodukte nachzuweisen. In diesem kombinierten System wird das durch Kühlung des entwickelten Dampfes erhaltene Aerosol (Rauch) vom Ofen in die Flamme für den metallspezifischen Atomabsorptionsnachweis übergeleitet. Die spezielle Ausbildung der Austrittsöffnung gewährleistet die Bildung eines stabilen Aerosols. Die optimalen Versuchsbedingungen wurden durch Zinkchloridlösungen bei Anderung der Probenmasse, der Aufheizgeschwindigkeit und der Strömungsgeschwindigkeit des Ofengases im linearen Temperaturprogramm ermittelt. Die mit dieser Methode für verschiedene Zinkverbindungen erhaltenen Absorptions—Temperatur-Kurven wurden mit den entsprechenden DTG-Kurven verglichen. Die Anwendbarkeit dieser Technik bei dem Studium heterogener Reaktionen mit Kohlenstofftetrachlorid und Hexandämpfen wird gezeigt. Der Einsatz eines mit einer Quarzküvette zum Nachweis der thermischen Entwicklung von Quecksilberdampf versehenen Atomabsorptionsspektrometers wird beschrieben, sowie die Nachweisgrenze durch molekulare Absorption (für NO und NH₃) und Lichtstreuung (für aus organischem Material entwickelten Rauch). Die bei den beschriebenen Methoden erhaltenen Ergebnisse können, in mancher Hinsicht, die durch DTG und Flammenionisationsnachweis erhaltenen Ergebnisse wertvoll ergänzen.

Nitrate and sulfite catalyzed reaction of monooxalatotetraaquachromium(III) and ethylenediaminetetraacetate

The kinetics of the reaction between monooxalatotetraaquachromium(III) and ethylenediamenetetraacetate have been studied in acidic media. The reaction is accelarated by nitrite and sulfite ions. The mechanism for the catalyzed reaction is discussed in terms of the formation of Cr(ONO)(ox)(H₂O)₃ and Cr(OSO₂H)(ox)(H₂O)₃. The catalytic effect of sulfite is greater than that of nitrite. Spectral evidence is presented for the formation of nitrito and sulfito species.

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.
