Some remarks on the periodical change of the stability constants of the lanthanide complexes

The correlations between the values of the lgK (K = stability constant of the lanthanide complex) and the reciprocal of the ionic radius 1/r or the sum of the ionization potentials ₁ ³ I for the lanthanide ions were reviewed for different ligands. A straight-line relationship (lgK – lgK)/lgK vs. (1/r – 1/r)/(1/r) or vs. ( ₁ ³ I – ₁ ³ I)/ ₁ ³ I was found within the tetrads La-Nd, Gd-Ho, and Er-Lu.

Crystallization Behavior of Alkoxy-Derived Cordierite Gels

Alkoxy-derived cordierite gels were synthesized from tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS), aluminum isopropoxide (Al(OPr ⁱ )₃), and magnesium ethoxide (Mg(OEt)₂). TEOS was partially hydrolyzed at molar ratios H₂O/TEOS = 1.2, in the presence of hydrochloric acid as a catalyst, HCl/TEOS = 0.1. Aluminum and magnesium alkoxides were added successively or as a double alkoxide. Phase transformations occurring in the gel were studied by differential thermal analysis, x-ray diffractometry, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. In all cases, -cordierite crystallized at similar temperatures (950–1000°C) with small amounts of spinel, which confirms dominant influence of the optimal conditions for partial hydrolysis of TEOS on the gels homogeneity. The transformation of - into -cordierite began at about 1100°C. Broadening of diffraction peaks and appearance of new bands in the FT IR spectra confirmed the transformation of - into modulated -cordierite at temperatures above 1300°C. Differential thermal analysis under nonisothermal conditions also proved homogeneous nucleation with constant rate and three-dimensional crystallite growth during -cordierite crystallization. The overall activation energy of the crystallization of -cordierite is 580 ± 81 kJ/mol.

Apparent molar heat capacity and relative enthalpy of aqueous NaOH between 323 and 523K

The apparent molar heat capacity, C _p,, of aqueous NaOH has been measured at temperatures between 50 and 250°C and molalities from 0.05 to 1.5 mol-kg^–1. Enthalpies of dilution L were also determined at 99°C and apparent molar relative enthalpies L were calculated up to 1.9 m. Measurements were performed by means of a flow calorimetric apparatus constructed in our laboratory and standardized for C _p, and L with aqueous Na₂SO₄ and with the formation of water from its ions, respectively. Characteristics and performance of this calorimeter are described in detail. Pitzer's semiempirical equations are used for the representation of the results and a general fitting of C _p, data is reported using also recent literature values measured between 4 and 55°C. The fitted parameters are finally utilized, through an integration procedure, to derive a general equation to calculate L at any temperature between 4 and 250°C.

Verfolgung der Verbrennungsreaktionen Exothermer Massen auf Basis von Aluminium,Fluoriden und Natriumverbindungen mit Differenzialthermoanalyse

Zusammenfassung Das Verbrennen von Mischungen der exothermen Systeme Al-NaF-NaNO₃ und Al-CaF₂-NaNO₃ wurde durch Röntgenanalyse ergänzte DTA untersucht. Um den Einfluß des durch Dissoziation von NaNO₃ gebildeten Sauerstoffs zu bestimmen wurden auch Mischungen, welche anstatt NaNO₃ NaNO₂ oder Na₂O₂ enthielten, geprüft.Zwei, bei 310° bzw. 850° einsetzende exotherme Reaktionen wurden in den Gemischen vom Typ Al-NaF-NaNO₃ gefunden. Die erste ist der Dissoziation von NaNO₃ zuzuschreiben, die zweite ist der Anwesenheit von Luft zuzuordnen.Beide exothermen Reaktionen wurden im System Al-CaF₂-NaNO₃ in Richtung höherer Temperaturen verschoben. Die Untersuchung der NaNO₂- oder Na₂O₂-haltigen Gemische anstatt NaNO₃ zeigte, daß die Dissoziation von NaNO₃ den zum Verbrennen benötigten Sauerstoff liefert, andererseits würde letztere Reaktion sonst nur in begrenztem Ausmaß stattfinden.

Combustion of exothermic mixtures belonging to the system Al-NaF-NaNO₃ and Al-CaF₂-NaNO₃ was investigated by DTA and X-ray analysis. In order to determine the influence of the oxygen generated by dissociation of NaNO₃, the mixtures containing NaNO₂ or Na₂O₂ instead of NaNO₃ were also examined.Two exothermic reactions starting at 310° and 850° rsp. were found in the mixtures of the Al-NaF-NaNO₃ type. The first is due to the dissociation of NaNO₃ and the second proceeds independence of the availability of air.Both exothermic reactions were shifted to higher temperatures in the system Al-CaF₂-NaNO₃. Investigation of the mixtures containing NaNO₂ or Na₂O₂ instead of NaNO₃ has proved that the dissociation of NaNO₃ supplies the oxygen required for combustion which should otherwise proceed only in a limited extent.

Afin de déterminer l'influence de l'oxygène engendré par la dissociation de NaNO₃, on a étudié de même des mélanges contenant NaNO₂ ou Na₂O₂ au lieu de NaNO₃.On a trouvé, dans les mélanges du type Al-NaF-NaNO₃, des réactions exothermiques à partir des temperatures respectives de 310° et 850°. La première est due à la dissociation de NaNO₃ et la seconde dépend de l'air disponible.Dans le système Al-CaF₂-NaNO₃ les deux réactions sont déplacées vers les températures plus élevées. L'examen de mélanges contenant NaNO₂ ou Na₂O₂ au lieu de NaNO₃ à montré que c'est la dissociation de NaNO₃ qui fournit l'oxygène nécessaire pour la combustion. Celleci n'aurait lieu, autrement, que d'une manière limitée.

Alkaloids ofRhinopetalum stenantherum. II. The structure of stenanthine and stenanthidine

From a methanolic extract of the epigeal part ofRhinopetalum stenantherum have been isolated -chaconine (I) and the new glucoalkaloids stenanthine with mp 262–264°C []_D 46.5°, C₄₅H₇₃NO₁₅ (II), and stenanthidine with mp 269–271°C, []_D –47.5°, C₃₉H₆₃NO₁₁ (III). On the basis of the facts that partial hydrolysis of the trioside (II) formed the biosides (I) and (III), and that on the hydrolysis of the latter the monoside -chaconine was found, it may be assumed that stenanthine has the structure of solanidine 3-0-{[0--D-glucosyl-(1 6)]-[0--L-rhamnosyl-(1 4)]-D-glucoside}, and stenanthidine that of solanidine 3-0-[0--D-glucosyl-(1 6)-D-glucoside].Institute of the Chemistry of Plant Substances, Academy of Sciences of the Uzbek SSR, Tashkent.

Preparation and Characterization of Thin Optically Transparent Alumina and Ce-doped Alumina

Transparent and porous boehmite, -Al₂O₃ (500°C) and -Al₂O₃ (900° and 1000°C) thin sheets (50–100 m) have been prepared from boehmite sols. -Al₂O₃ shows about 48% porosity and 292 m²/g surface area. On transformation from -Al₂O₃ (500°C) to -Al₂O₃ (900°C), the porosity still remains high, i.e. 45%; however, the surface area becomes 138 m²/g. The porosity and surface area of -Al₂O₃ become about 41% and 97 m²/g respectively on further heating to 1000°C. A gradual increase of average pore radius during this thermal treatment suggests that coarsening of the pore occurred during the densification process. Both -Al₂O₃ and -Al₂O₃ show high degree of transmission from UV to NIR wavelength region. Cerium exists in +4 oxidation state in the boehmite as well as in the - and -Al₂O₃. The ultraviolet absorption edge of the alumina was tailored by varying the concentration of cerium.

Characterization of solute-membrane interactions by TMA-measurements

On the basis of relationships derived by Oplatka et al. [1] correlating the derivative of tensile stress with respect to temperature for a polymer strip at constant length, (/T) _t , with the derivative of entropy with respect to strip length, (S/l)_T, relationships are derived relating the derivation of strip length with respect to temperature under constant tensile stress, (l/T), with the derivative of entropy with respect to tensile load, (S/) _T . The developed relationships are applied to evaluate TMA (thermomechanical analysis) measurements performed with asymmetric and homogeneous cellulose acetate membranes where the membrane strips were kept in deionized water. Moreover, TMA measurements were performed with homogeneous CA membranes while maintaining the membrane strips in bathing solutions of different, but in each instance, constant electrolyte concentrationc _s (e.g., LiCl, LiNO₃, Li₂SO₄, CaCl₂; 0 c _s saturation). Under constant tensile stress, , as-cast asymmetric CA membranes, which are kept in deionized water, first elongate with increasing temperature at temperatures up to about 50°C. However, they shrink with a further increase of temperature in the temperature range 50°C up to about 90°C, whereas creeping starts at temperatures beyond 90°C, leading again to an elongation of the strip with a further increase of temperature. The negative apparent coefficient of thermal expansion, existing between 50° to 90°C, is consistent with shrinking phenomena observed with asymmetric CA membranes [2]. In addition, it correlates well with both an entropy decrease with increasing tensile stress at constant strip length and an entropy increase with decreasing strip length at constant tensile stress. Contraction of the strip with increasing temperature at constant tensile load might be due to increasing coil formation of polymer molecules rendered possible by disintegration of joints such as H-bonds between polymer chains. Depending on the electrolyte of the bathing solution and its concentration, homogeneous CA membranes exhibit positive and negative apparent linear coefficients of thermal expansion under constant tensile stress.
