Investigation of eutectic transformation of Zn−Al alloy by DTA

The paper discusses the investigation of crystallization of metals and alloys by differential thermal analysis (DTA). It was assumed that this method allows determination of the mechanism and kinetics of volumetric crystallization underiso conditions (e.g. anisothermal) on the basis of the parameters of the equation expressing an integral form of the DTA curve. From DTA, a course of eutectic transformation was determined for a technical Zn?Al alloy containing 4wt% Al. Investigations were carried out under continuous cooling at various rates and the kinetics parameters were determined with the KEKAM equation:-ln(1-x)=kl _n     

Solvent release upon ion association from entropy data

The translational entropy loss on the association of two ions to form an ion pair or 11 complex is overcompensated by a rotational entropy gain, an electrostatic entropy gain, and an entropy gain due to solvent release from translational immobilization. The first three effects can be calculated, leaving the fourth as a difference from the experimental entropy change on association. The ratio of the solvent release entropy gain to the entropy change on melting of the solvent indicates the number of solvent molecules released on the association. A similar value is obtained from data for the volume change on association.Presented as a poster at the 10th International Conference on Non-Aqueous Solvents (ICNAS) at Leuven, Belgium, August 1986, and at the 24th International Congress on Coordination Chemistry (ICCC) at Athens, Greece, August 1986.     

Solubility of benzil in binary alkane + dibutyl ether solvent mixtures. Comparison of predictive expressions derived from the nearly ideal binary solvent model

Experimental solubilities are reported for benzil dissolved in six binary mixtures containing dibutyl ether with hexane, heptane, octane, cyclohexane, methylcyclohexane, and 2,2,4-trimethylpentane at 25°C. Results of these measurements are compared to the predictions of equations developed previously for solubility in systems of nonspecific interactions. The most successful equation in terms of goodness of fit involved a volume fraction average of the excess Gibbs energies relative to the Flory-Huggins model, and predicted the experimental solubilities in the six systems studied to within an overall average absolute deviation of 3.4% and with a maximum deviation of 6.0%.     

The configurational dependence of binding free energies: A Poisson–Boltzmann study of Neuraminidase inhibitors

The linear finite difference Poisson-Boltzmann (FDPB) equation is applied to the calculation of the electrostatic binding free energies of a group of inhibitors to the Neuraminidase enzyme. An ensemble of enzyme-inhibitor complex conformations was generated using Monte Carlo simulations and the electrostatic binding free energies of subtly different configurations of the enzyme-inhibitor complexes were calculated. It was seen that the binding free energies calculated using FDPB depend strongly on the configuration of the complex taken from the ensemble. This configurational dependence was investigated in detail in the electrostatic hydration free energies of the inhibitors. Differences in hydration energies of up to 7 kcal mol^–1 were obtained for root mean square (RMS) structural deviations of only 0.5 Å. To verify the result, the grid size and parameter dependence of the calculated hydration free energies were systematically investigated. This showed that the absolute hydration free energies calculated using the FDPB equation were very sensitive to the values of key parameters, but that the configurational dependence of the free energies was independent of the parameters chosen. Thus just as molecular mechanics energies are very sensitive to configuration, and single-structure values are not typically used to score binding free energies, single FDPB energies should be treated with the same caution.     

Copolymerization of ethylene and 1-butene with highly active Ticl4/THF/Mgcl2, Ticl4/THF/Mgcl2/SiO2, and TiCl3.1/3AlCl3 catalysts

Highly active catalysts for copolymerization have been prepared by the precipitation of MgCl₂/ToCl₄ complex with or without high surface area silica. Copolymerization of ethylene and 1-butene has been tested by using the prepared catalysts at various concentrations of 1-butene. The catalytic activities are 20–80 kg/g Ti h. The rate of copolymerization is strongly affected by the addition of 1-butene. The decay rate of copolymerization is first order with respect to time. Analyses of copolymers with solvent extraction, DSC, IR, XRD, and NMR were performed. Ethylene reactivity ratio (k₁₁) for TiCl₄/MgCl₂/THF catalyst is calculated to be about 26 by NMR spectrum. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Computerized optimization of gradient elution conditions with ternary solvent mobile phases in RPLC

Summary In this work, an optimization procedure for gradient RPLC separation, using ternary mobile phases, is described. This procedure requires eight preliminary experiments in gradient elution mode to predict the retention surface for each solute over the whole triangular space. This is followed by computerized calculations to determine the best ternary gradient elution profile with respect to both selectivity and analysis time. The efficiency of this procedure from the point of view of rapidity and of accuracy, is illustrated for the specific separation of twelve phenyl urea herbicides.
