Application of organolithium and related reagents in synthesis,Part XII. Synthesis of phenyl- and pyridylpyridopyridazinones and their derivatives

Summary The preparation of the pyridazinones10a,10b,11a,11b, and12a,12b from the ketoamides7,8, and9 and hydrazine hydrate is described. It was found that from ketoamides8b and9b in addition to the expected pyridopyridazinones11b and12b also aminopyridopyridazines14 and15 were formed and that ketoamide7b gave exclusively aminopyridopyridazine13. The pyridopyridazinones10b,11b, and12b were alkylated with alkyl iodides.

Impedance studies of porous lanthanum-phosphate-bonded nickel electrodes in concentrated sodium hydroxide solution

The hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) was investigated on a lanthanum-phosphate-bonded nickel (LPBN) powder electrode in 30 wt.% NaOH at 70°C using ac impedance and steady-state polarization techniques. Circuits containing one or two constant-phase elements (CPEs) in parallel with a resistance and corresponding to fractal and porous electrode models were tested in order to interpret the ac impedance data. The experimental impedance spectra were well described by the porous electrode model and the circuit containing two CPEs. The results obtained from the ac impedance and steady-state measurements allowed the mechanism and kinetics of the HER to be evaluated. Comparison of these parameters with those obtained on the polycrystalline nickel electrode in 1 M alkaline solution at 25°C indicates that an increase in activity is principally due to an increase in the real surface area.     

Kinetics of thermal decomposition of Co3O4 powder and single crystals

Kinetics of thermal decomposition in vacuum of Co₃O₄ powder as well as single crystals has been investigated. Discrepancies with the results of previous authors have been discussed. Decomposition of Co₃O₄ proceeds through formation of a compact layer of CoO and hence diffusion is the rate-limiting factor. The experimental curves α(t) be described for 0.05 < α < 0.85 using a modified Ginstling-Brounshtein equation: 1 ? 2α/3 ? (1 ? α)^2/3 = ktⁿ where the activation energy varies with the degree of decomposition.     

Gas-phase solvation of protonated aliphatic amines: methyl,ethyl, n-propyl,and iso-propylamine

The thermodynamic quantities K_{n?1 n}, ΔG⁰_{n?1, n} and ΔS⁰_n?1, n for the gas phase equilibrium reactions RNH⁺₃(RNH₂)_n?1 + RNH₂ = RNH⁺₃(RNH₂)_n, where n ? 3 and R indicates an alkyl group (CH₃, C₂H₅, n-C₃H₇ and iso-C₃H₇), have been determined.     

All-solid-state planar miniature ion-selective chloride electrode

All-solid-state ion-selective electrodes with plastic membrane (poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC), bis(2-ethylhexyl) sebacate (DOS), methyltri-n-tetradecylammonium chloride (MTTACl)), a conducting poly(pyrrole) (PPy) film doped either with chloride ions (PPyCl) or hexacyanoferrate(II) ions (PPyFeCN), and glassy carbon (GC) or screen-printed graphite layer (S-PG) as an inner electric contact were investigated. All the electrodes show close to Nernstian response, but their lifetimes vary. The at least 2-months lifetime of screen-printed electrodes is only achieved for the electrodes containing PPyFeCN (cation-exchanging film). Shorter lifetime of other screen-printed electrodes, i.e. without PPy, or with PPyCl (anion-exchanging film), was attributed to the diffusion of anionic products of the hydrolysis of organic components of the graphite paste used to prepare the electric contact. The properties of miniature, screen-printed electrodes comprising PPyFeCN solid contact, were comparable to those ion-selective electrodes with PPy solid contact (regardless the ion-exchanging characteristic of the polymer) deposited on GC electric contact.     

Crystal structures and magnetic properties of two low-dimensional materials constructed from [Mn(III)(salen)H2O]+ and [M(CN)8](3-/4-) (M = Mo or W) precursors

The syntheses, X-ray structures, and magnetic behaviors of two new cyano-bridged assemblies, the molecular [Mn(III)(salen)H2O]3[W(V)(CN)8].H2O (1) and one-dimensional [Mn(salen)(H2O)2]2[[Mn(salen)(H2O)][Mn(salen)]2[Mo(CN)(8)]].0.5ClO4.0.5OH.4.5H2O (2), are presented. Compound 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic system, has space group P2(1)/c, and has unit cell constants a = 13.7210(2) A, b = 20.6840(4) A, c = 20.6370(2) A, and Z = 4. Compound 2 crystallizes in the triclinic system, has space group P, and has unit cell dimensions a = 18.428(4) A, b = 18.521(3) A, c = 18.567(4) A, and Z = 2. The structure of 1 consists of the asymmetric V-shaped Mn-NC-W-NC-Mn-O(phenolate)-Mn molecules, where W(V) coordinates with [Mn(salen)H2O] and singly phenolate-bridged [Mn(salen)H2O]2 moieties through the neighboring cyano bridges. The [W(V)(CN)8]3- ion displays distorted square-antiprism geometry. The structure of 2 consists of the cyano-bridged [Mn3(III)Mo(IV)]n- repeating units linked by double phenolate bridges into one-dimensional zigzag chains. The Mn(III) centers are bound to Mo(IV) of square-antiprism geometry through the neighboring cyano bridges. The magnetic studies of 1 reveal the antiferromagnetic intramolecular interactions through the CN and phenolate bridges and the relatively weak intermolecular interactions. Compound 1 becomes antiferromagnetically ordered below TN = 4.6 K. The presence of the magnetic anisotropy is documented with the MH measurements carried out for both polycrystalline and single-crystal samples. At T = 1.9 K, the spin-flop transition is observed in the field of 18 kOe applied parallel to the bc plane, which is the easy plane of magnetization. Field dependence of magnetization of 1 shows field-induced metamagnetic behavior from the antiferromagnetic ground state of ST = 3/2 to the state of ST = 5/2. The magnetic properties of 2 indicate a weak antiferromagnetic interaction between Mn(III) centers in double-phenolate-bridged [Mn(III)(salen)]2 dinuclear subunits and a very weak ferromagnetic interaction between them through the diamagnetic [Mo(IV)(CN)8]4- spacer.     

Influence of preparation conditions on thermal properties of lanthanide benzenepolycarboxylates

Properties of lanthanide 1,2,4-benzenetricarboxylates and lanthanide 1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylates obtained by a classical synthesis method and under hydrothermal conditions were compared. Solid 1,2,4-benzenetricarboxylates and 1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylates of cerium, neodymium and erbium were prepared by a classical precipitation method. The same lanthanide compounds were obtained also from hydrothermal reaction. All obtained products were examined by elemental analysis. General formulae of complexes were: Ln(1,2,4-btc)·xH₂O and Ln₄(1,2,4,5-btec)₃·yH₂O. The thermal analysis shows that hydrothermal conditions cause the coordination of less number of water molecules to complex molecule. Because lanthanide ions exhibit the most often the coordination number equal 8 or 9 one can conclude that the coordination ability of carboxylic groups under hydrothermal conditions is different from that under mild ones. Probably, in hydrothermal conditions the carboxylic groups of 1,2,4-benzenetricarboxylate ions are able to form more coordination bonds with lanthanide ions than under normal pressure.     

On the apparent molar volumes of nonelectrolytes in water

Apparent molar volumes of aqueous solutions of argon and xenon have been calculated using a previously developed comprehensive equation of state for nonelectrolyte systems. The equation consists of a virial expansion truncated after the fourth virial coefficient and a closed-form term approximating higher coefficients. Mixing rules are based on the composition dependence of virial coefficients, which is known from statistical mechanics. The equation accurately represents vapor-liquid and gas-gas equilibria for the Ar+H₂O and Xe+H₂O systems over wide ranges of pressure and temperature using two binary parameters. With the binary parameters determined from phase equilibrium data, the equation accurately predicts apparent molar volumes V in the near-critical and far-from-critical regions. Apart from reproducing experimental V data, the equation reveals remarkable maxima of V as a function of pressure and temperature in the near-critical region. The implications of this equation with respect to the Ar–H₂O potential are discussed via the second virial coefficient.     

Excess volumes for n-alkanols + n-alkanes I. Binary mixtures of methanol,ethanol, n-propanol,and n-butanol + n-heptane

Excess volumes V^E measured at 298.15 K in a successive-dilution dilatometer are reported for binary mixtures of the n-alkanols C₁ to C₄ + n-heptane. For ethanol +, and n-butanol + n-heptane, the measurements were extended to high dilutions of alkanol. V^E is positive for all of the mixtures but decreases rapidly in magnitude for increasing chain length of the n-alkanol. The results were used to estimate the excess partial molar volumes of the components.     

Multipeak distributions of first passage times in bistable dynamics in a model of a thermochemical system.

A master equation is used to study transitions between the stable limit cycle and stable focus in the two-variable bistable system. The distribution function of the mean first passage time between these attractors and the relative dispersion of the mean first return time from the stable focus to itself as a function of the intensity of fluctuations are calculated and discussed. A coherence resonance is observed for the return time from the focus to itself.
