采用动电位扫描法、电化学交流阻抗法和表面分析方法研究了假单胞菌的加入对A3钢在枝孢霉菌溶液中腐蚀行为的影响. 结果表明, 假单胞菌的存在影响了A3钢在枝孢霉菌体系中阳极的反应过程, 假单胞菌与枝孢霉菌混合体系(简称假-枝混合菌体系)中A3钢的自腐蚀电流小于枝孢霉菌单种菌体系, A3钢的腐蚀速率减小；随着浸泡时间的延长, 从第7天开始, A3钢电极在假-枝混合菌体系中的阻抗值较之同样浸泡天数的枝孢霉菌单种菌体系的阻抗值大, 假单胞菌的存在抑制了枝孢霉菌对A3钢的腐蚀. SEM结果表明, A3钢在枝孢霉菌和假-枝混合菌体系中均发生了点蚀,枝孢霉菌单菌体系中A3 钢的点蚀坑大而深, 假-枝混合菌体系中的点蚀坑与枝孢霉菌体系相比小而浅.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of Bis(methyltriphenylphosphonium) Hexabromotellurate(IV)‐bis{dibromoselenate(II)}, [PMePh3]2[TeBr6(SeBr2)2], the Salt of a Mixed‐valence Bromotellurate(IV)‐Selenate(II) Anion

Brown crystals of [PMePh₃]₂[TeBr₆(SeBr₂)₂] ( 1 ) were obtained when selenium and bromine (1:1) react in acetonitrile solution in the presence of tellurium(IV) bromide and methyltriphenylphosphonium bromide. The salt 1 crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1¯ with the cell dimensions a = 10.3630(14)Å, b = 11.5140(12)Å, c = 11.7605(17)Å, α = 108.643(9)°, β = 106.171(10)° and γ = 99.077(9)° (296 K). In the solid state the [TeBr₆(SeBr₂)₂]^2— anion contains a nearly regular [TeBr₆] octahedron where the four equatorial bromo ligands each have developed a bond to the Se^II atom of a SeBr₂ molecule. The contacts between the bridging bromo and the Se^II atoms of the SeBr₂ molecules are observed in the range 3.11—3.21Å, and can be interpreted as bonds of the donor‐acceptor type with the bridging bromo ligands as donors and the SeBr₂ molecules as acceptors. The Te^IV—Br distances are in the range 2.67—2.72Å, and the Se^II—Br bond lengths in coordinated SeBr₂ molecules in the range 2.33—2.34Å.     

Effect of the ZnNi y Mn2– y O4 (0 ≤ y ≤ 1) spinel composition on electrochemical lithium insertion

The electrochemical insertion of lithium in the spinel-type manganite with the formula ZnNi _y Mn_{2– y} O₄ has been studied. The galvanostatic discharge curves show that the best performance is obtained for y = 0.25, where a tetragonal to cubic structural transformation occurs. The thermodynamics and kinetics of the process of insertion of the lithium into the tetragonal spinel Li _x ZnNi_0.25Mn_1.75O₄ (x = 0.05–1.3) have been studied. The molar thermodynamic quantities, such as enthalpy, entropy and free energy determined by EMF-T measurements, varied with the lithium concentration in the oxide structure, and a major variation was observed around x = 0.8. The chemical diffusion coefficient of lithium in these spinels was also determined. Structural analysis, degree of oxidation and magnetic susceptibility measurements were carried out for the lithiated oxides in order to obtain the cationic distribution as a function of x. It has been possible to demonstrate that, upon lithium insertion, Mn⁴⁺ ions on B sites are reduced to Mn³⁺ and then to Mn²⁺. A cooperative Jahn-Teller effect is present in these spinel manganese-nickel oxides. Received: 4 February 1997 / Accepted: 11 April 1997

季铵盐二聚表面活性剂C12 s C12•2Br（s=2、3、4、6）和非离子表面活性剂C12E10或C12E23在水溶液中生成混合胶团.其临界胶团总浓度cmcT值介于二元复配体系中各组分的临界胶团浓度和之间.当添加少量非离子型表面活性剂（在水溶液中的摩尔分数α2=0.1）时,混合胶团中C12E10或C12E23的摩尔分数均已超过0.35;随着溶液中非离子型表面活性剂含量的增大,混合胶团中逐渐以C12E10或C12E23成分为主.     

Neue Alkalioxoarsenate(V): NaLi2[AsO4] — ein neuer Formeltyp [1]

New Alkali Oxoarsenates(V): NaLi₂[AsO₄] — A New Type of Formula [1] . By heating of well ground mixtures of the binary oxides As₂O₃, Na₂O, and Li₂O₂, molar ratio As:Na:Li = 1.0:1.0:2.0, in a well closed Ni tube (650°C, 21 d) colourless single crystals of NaLi₂[AsO₄] were obtained for the first time. The new orthoarsenate(V) crystallizes orthorhombic (space group P mn2₁-C, No. 31) with Z = 2. The structure determination showed that it is isostructural to β_II-Li₃[VO₄] and that means the Li₃[PO₄]-type. The lattice constants a = 702.9(2) pm, b = 520.5(1) pm, c = 505.4(2) pm were taken from Guinier-Simon powder data. The structure was determined by four-circle diffractometer data [Philips PW 1 100, AgKα , 679 independent out of 2 373 I_o(hkl), R = 3.03%, R_w = 2.29%; parameter see text]. The Madelung Part of Lattice Energy, MAPLE, and Effective Coordination Numbers, ECoN, these calculated via Mean Fictive Ionic Radii, MEFIR, are calculated and discussed.     

Mixed chelates of some trivalent lanthanide ions containing (trans-1,2-cyclhexylenedinitrilo)tetraacetate and norleucinate

Summary Formation constants of mixed chelates with (trans-1,2-cyclohexylenedinitrilo)tetra-acetate (DCTA) as primary ligand and norleucinate (nle) as secondary ligand with metal ions La(III), Ce(III), Pr(III), Sm(III), Gd(III), Tb(III), Dy(III), Er(III), and Yb(III) have been determined by the modified potentiometricpH titration method of Irving-Rossotti in aqueous medium at (295±1) K and fixed ionic strength of =0.1M (NaClO₄). Formation constants of binary complexes of the metal ions with the secondary ligand have also been determined under identical conditions. The mixed chelates were found to be more stable than the binary ones. The order of stabilities in terms of metal ions is La(III)Gd(III)

Oxygen transport in La<Subscript>0.6</Subscript>Sr<Subscript>0.4</Subscript>Co<Subscript>1−<Emphasis Type="Italic">y</Emphasis></Subscript>Fe<Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">y</Emphasis></Subscript>O<Subscript>3−δ</Subscript>

The surface exchange coefficient and chemical diffusion coefficient of oxygen for the perovskites La_0.6Sr_0.4Co_1–yFe_yO_3– (y=0.2, 0.5 and 0.8) were measured using the conductivity relaxation technique. Measurements were performed between 600 and 800 °C in an oxygen partial pressure range between 10^–4 and 1 bar. Both transport coefficients decrease markedly with decreasing oxygen partial pressure below about 10^–2 bar at all temperatures. This is attributed to ordering of oxygen vacancies. Implications for using La_0.6Sr_0.4Co_1–yFe_yO_3– as an oxygen separation membrane are discussed.Presented at the OSSEP Workshop Ionic and Mixed Conductors: Methods and Processes, Aveiro, Portugal, 10-12 April 2003     

Synthesis,structure and properties of aquabis(2,4′-bipyridine)di(propionato-O)copper(II)

The title complex has been synthesized and characterized by elemental and thermal analysis, IR and electronic spectroscopy, conductivity studies and X-ray crystallography. In the crystal, the complex has two-fold symmetry and the copper atom adopts square pyramidal coordination. Bond valences for Cu were computed. Cu–O_(propionate) bonds are slightly stronger than the Cu–N bonds, and the Cu–O_(water) bond is distinctly weaker. Molecules are linked by O–H···O hydrogen bonds to form infinite hydrogen-bonded chains along the y axis.     

Recognition of polymer-particle interfacial morphology in mixed matrix membranes through ideal permeation predictive models

Interfacial properties play an important role in determining characteristics and performance of composite materials, especially in membrane gas separation applications. Formation of any undesirable defect at polymer-particle interface can directly influence on membrane permeability and selectivity in addition to unwanted effects on the other mechanical/physical properties. For achieving a quick insight about the role and nature of interfacial morphologies in mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) and their effects on gas transport properties, a new technique mainly in terms of mathematical modeling was developed. Based on the proposed approach, although ideal models often failed in predicting MMMs performance, these models can provide guidelines for discernment of the types of formed interfacial morphology, like current methods in characterization.
