Thermal Decomposition of CF3C(O)O2NO2, CClF2C(O)O2NO2, CCl2FC(O)O2NO2, and CCl3C(O)O2NO2

Haloacetyl, peroxynitrates are intermediates in the atmospheric degradation of a number of haloethanes. In this work, thermal decomposition rate constants of CF₃C(O)O₂NO₂, CClF₂C(O)O₂NO₂, CCl₂FC(O)O₂NO₂, and CCl₃C(O)O₂NO₂ have been determined in a temperature controlled 420 l reaction chamber. Peroxynitrates (RO₂NO₂) were prepared in situ by photolysis of RH/Cl₂/O₂/NO₂/N₂ mixtures (R = CF₃CO, CClF₂CO, CCl₂FCO, and CCl₃CO). Thermal decomposition was initiated by addition of NO, and relative RO₂NO₂ concentrations were measured as a function of time by long-path IR absorption using an FTIR spectrometer. First-order decomposition rate constants were determined at atmospheric pressure (M = N₂) as a function of temperature and, in the case of CF₃C(O)O₂NO₂ and CCl₃C(O)O₂NO₂, also as a function of total pressure. Extrapolation of the measured rate constants to the temperatures and pressures of the upper troposphere yields thermal lifetimes of several thousands of years for all of these peroxynitrates. Thus, the chloro(fluoro)acetyl peroxynitrates may play a role as temporary reservoirs of Cl, their lifetimes in the upper troposphere being limited by their (unknown) photolysis rates. Results on the thermal decomposition of CClF₂CH₂O₂NO₂ and CCl₂FCH₂O₂NO₂ are also reported, showing that the atmospheric lifetimes of these peroxynitrates are very short in the lower troposphere and increase to a maximum of several days close to the tropopause. The ratio of the rate constants for the reactions of CF₃C(O)O₂ radicals with NO₂ and NO was determined to be 0.64 ± 0.13 (2σ) at 315 K and a total pressure of 1000 mbar (M = N₂). © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

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.     

Thermodynamics of Cr2O3, FeCr2O4, ZnCr2O4, and CoCr2O4

High-temperature heat capacity measurements were obtained for Cr₂O₃, FeCr₂O₄, ZnCr₂O₄, and CoCr₂O₄ using a differential scanning calorimeter. These data were combined with previously available, overlapping heat capacity data at temperatures up to 400 K and fitted to 5-parameter Maier–Kelley C_p(T) equations. Expressions for molar entropy were then derived by suitable integration of the Maier–Kelley equations in combination with recent S^∘(298) evaluations. Finally, a database of high-temperature equilibrium measurements on the formation of these oxides was constructed and critically evaluated. Gibbs free energies of Cr₂O₃, FeCr₂O₄, and CoCr₂O₄ were referenced by averaging the most reliable results at reference temperatures of (1100, 1400, and 1373) K, respectively, while Gibbs free energies for ZnCr₂O₄ were referenced to the results of Jacob [K.T. Jacob, Thermochim. Acta 15 (1976) 79–87] at T = 1100 K. Thermodynamic extrapolations from the high-temperature reference points to T = 298.15 K by application of the heat capacity correlations gave Δ_fG^∘(298) = (−1049.96, −1339.40, −1428.35, and −1326.75) kJ · mol⁻¹ for Cr₂O₃, FeCr₂O₄, ZnCr₂O₄, and CoCr₂O₄, respectively.     

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.

Penkvilksite‐2O: Na2TiSi4O11·2H2O

The crystal structure of synthetic penkvilksite‐2O, disodium titanium tetrasilicate dihydrate, Na₂TiSi₄O₁₁·2H₂O, a microporous titanosilicate, confirms the major features of a previous model that had been obtained by order–disorder (OD) theory from the known structure of penkvilksite‐1M. An important difference from the previous model involves the hydrogen bonding of the water molecule which, on the basis of a Raman spectrum and the finding of only one of the two H atoms, is proposed to be disordered about a fixed O–H direction. The structure of penkvilksite‐2O is based on (100) silicate layers linked by isolated TiO₆ octahedra to form a heteropolyhedral framework. The layer is strongly corrugated, based on interlaced spiral chains, and is crossed by two different channels that have an effective channel width of about 3 Å.

Comparative XPS Study of Al2O3 and CeO2Sulfation in Reactions with SO2, SO2 + O2, SO2 + H2O,and SO2 + O2 + H2O

The interactions of Al₂O₃, CeO₂, Pt/Al₂O₃, and Pt/CeO₂ films with SO₂, SO₂ + H₂O, SO₂ + O₂, and SO₂ + O₂ + H₂O in the temperature range 300–673 K at the partial pressures of SO₂, O₂, and H₂O equal to 1.5 × 10², 1.5 × 10², and 3 × 10² Pa, respectively, were studied using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The formation of surface sulfite at T 473 K (the S 2p _3/2 binding energy (E _b) is 167.5 eV) and surface sulfate at T 573 K (E _b = 169.2 eV) was observed in the reactions of Al₂O₃ and CeO₂ with SO₂. The formation of sulfates on the surface of CeO₂ occurred much more effectively than in the case of Al₂O₃, and it was accompanied by the reduction of Ce(IV) to Ce(III). The formation of aluminum and cerium sulfates and sulfites on model Pt/Al₂O₃ and Pt/CeO₂ catalysts occurred simultaneously with the formation of surface platinum sulfides (E _b of S 2p _3/2 is 162.2 eV). The effects of oxygen and water vapor on the nature and yield of sulfur-containing products were studied.     

H-bond network in amino acid cocrystals with H2O or H2O2. The DFT study of serine-H2O and serine-H2O2

The structure, IR spectrum, and H-bond network in the serine-H(2)O and serine-H(2)O(2) crystals were studied using DFT computations with periodic boundary conditions. Two different basis sets were used: the all-electron Gaussian-type orbital basis set and the plane wave basis set. Computed frequencies of the IR-active vibrations of the titled crystals are quite different in the range of 10-100 cm(-1). Harmonic approximation fails to reproduce IR active bands in the 2500-2800 frequency region of serine-H(2)O and serine-H(2)O(2). The bands around 2500 and 2700 cm(-1) do exist in the anharmonic IR spectra and are caused by the first overtone of the OH bending vibrations of H(2)O and a combination vibration of the symmetric and asymmetric bendings of H(2)O(2). The quantum-topological analysis of the crystalline electron density enables us to describe quantitatively the H-bond network. It is much more complex in the title crystals than in a serine crystal. Appearance of water leads to an increase of the energy of the amino acid-amino acid interactions, up to ~50 kJ/mol. The energy of the amino acid-water H-bonds is ~30 kJ/mol. The H(2)O/H(2)O(2) substitution does not change the H-bond network; however, the energy of the amino acid-H(2)O(2) contacts increases up to 60 kJ/mol. This is caused by the fact that H(2)O(2) is a much better proton donor than H(2)O in the title crystals.

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.     

Crystallization of MgFe2O4 from a glass in the system K2O/B2O3/MgO/P2O5/Fe2O3

Spherical magnetic Mg-Fe-O nanoparticles were successfully prepared by the crystallization of glass in the system K₂O/B₂O₃/MgO/P₂O₅/Fe₂O₃. The magnetic glass ceramics were prepared by melting the raw materials using the conventional melt quenching technique followed by a thermal treatment at temperatures in the range 560–700 °C for a time ranging from 2 to 8 h. The studies of the X-ray diffraction, electron microscopy and FTIR spectra confirmed the precipitation of finely dispersed spherical (Mg, Fe) based spinel nanoparticles with a minor quantity of hematite (α-Fe₂O₃) in the glass matrix. The average size of the magnetic nano crystals increases slightly with temperature and time from 9 to 15 nm as determined by the line broadening from the XRD patterns. XRD studies show that annealing the glass samples for long periods of time at temperature ≥604 °C results in an increase of the precipitated hematite concentration, dissolution of the spinel phase and the formation of magnesium di-borate phase (Mg₂B₂O₅). For electron microscopy, the particles were extracted by two methods; (i) replica extraction technique and (ii) dissolution of the glass matrix by diluted acetic acid. An agglomeration of the nano crystals to larger particles (25–35 nm) was observed.     

Photooxidation of polystyrene by O2 and N2O

Strips of polystyrene held in a flowing O₂ or N₂O atmosphere have been exposed to 240-600 nm radiation. The extent of photooxidation has been followed by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Although N₂O is a more reactive gas than O₂, it produces a less oxidized polymer surface. This surprising observation can be correlated to the photochemistry occurring at the gas/polystyrene interface. © 1992 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
