Thermogravimetry as a screening tool for the estimation of the vapor pressures of pure compounds

A simplified approach was developed to estimate the vapor pressure of pure compounds from experimental data obtained by isothermal thermogravimetric (TG) analysis. A numerical procedure was developed to estimate the Antoine parameters of the substance by the analysis of isothermal TG data. The results of the experimental validations carried out evidenced that at least a preliminary estimation of vapour pressures of pure substances by the analysis of TG data is possible. The limited time and the reduced amounts of sample required for the experimental runs make the technique attractive with respect to the conventional and more accurate techniques for vapor pressure assessment.     

Systematic high-pressure synthesis of new filled skutterudites with heavy lanthanide, LnFe4P12 (Ln=heavy lanthanide, including Y)

New filled skutterudites with heavy lanthanide, LnFe₄P₁₂ (Ln=Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, Lu and Y) have systematically been prepared for the first time by the high-pressure technique. The relationship between lattice constants and atomic numbers of lanthanide (including Y) is established for LnFe₄P₁₂. Electrical and magnetic properties of several new filled skutterudites with heavy lanthanide have been studied at low temperatures; YFe₄P₁₂ shows a superconducting transition at around 7 K, and DyFe₄P₁₂ behaves as a ferromagnet below 10 K. Electrical and magnetic anomalies in DyFe₄P₁₂ and YFe₄P₁₂ are mainly discussed.     

Tuning the reactivity and chemoselectivity of electron-poor pyrroles as dienophiles in cycloadditions with electron-rich dienes

Activation by Lewis acid catalysis and high pressure allows pyrrole derivatives to react with electron-rich dienes in normal electron demand [4+2] cycloadditions, provided that the aromatic ring is substituted by at least two electron-withdrawing groups. The dienophilic behavior of the heterocycle is expressed through the involvement of either the aromatic carbon-carbon double bond in an all-carbon process or the carbonyl moiety of the substituent in a heterocycloaddition reaction. In this regard, the nature of the heterocyclic substituents is shown to have a dramatic influence and to direct both the reactivity and the chemoselectivity of the cycloaddition.     

Effect of pressure on the adsorption and micelle formation of aqueous dodecyltrimethylammonium chloride solution-hexane system

The interfacial tension of aqueous dodecyltrimethylammonium chloride (DTAC) solution/hexane interface has been measured as a function of pressure at concentrations around the critical micelle concentration (CMC). The derivative of the interfacial tension with respect to pressure has been observed to change abruptly at the CMC as in the case of aqueous dodecylammonium chloride (DAC) solution-hexane system studied already. The volume changes associated with the adsorption of DTAC from its monomeric and micellar states have been calculated. The results have indicated that the micelle formation of surfactant is treated like the appearance of a new macroscopic phase in the system. It has also been concluded that the micelle solubilizing hexane bears resemblance to the adsorbed film in terms of the volume. The difference in the pressure dependence of the volume of micelle formation ^MW between DTAC and DAC has been attributed to a larger polar group of DTAC. The fact that the value of ^MW is larger than that estimated from the conductivity data has been explained by the solubilization of hexane into the micelle.

Halogenated arenes in the Duff reaction at high pressures

The reaction of fluorobenzene with urotropine in trifluoroacetic acid (TFAA) at high pressures and temperatures affords predominantly fluorobenzaldehydes andN-(fluorophenylmethyl)trifluoroacetamides. The yields of these products depend considerably on the reaction conditions. The rates of their formation have the maximum values at the momemt of the phase transition (PT) of TFAA. A new efficient cyclic (dynamic) regime is proposed for the synthesis at high pressures. The regime involves periodically occurring PT of the solvent. The change in the relative rate of product formation with the degree of fluorobenzene conversion is wave-like.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Hexagonal high pressure phase of copper(I)tetraiodomercurate (Cu2HgI4)

Summary Using a high pressure X-ray camera Cu₂HgI₄ was subjected at room temperature to pressures up to about 8 GPa. A hexagonal high pressure phase (a=8.28 (2) Å,c=3.40 (0) Å, space group P lm,Z=1) could be detected. This phase shows a reversible transformation with pressure hysteresis. The transition occurs at 7 GPa when the pressure is increased but at 6 GPa when the pressure is decreased.

Hexagonale Hochdruckphase von Kupfer(I)tetraiodomercurat (Cu₂HgI₄)

Zusammenfassung Cu₂HgI₄ wurde in einer Hochdruckkamera bei Raumtemperatur mit einem Druck bis zu 8 GPa belastet. Dabei bildete sich eine hexagonale Hochdruckmodifikation (a=8.28 (2) Å,c=3.40 (0) Å, Raumgruppe P lm,Z=1). Für diese Phase wurde eine reversible Umwandlung mit Druckhysterese festgestellt. Mit steigendem Druck findet die Umwandlung bei 7 GPa mit sinkendem Druck jedoch bei 6 GPa statt.

     

Clathrate formation in binary aqueous systems with CH2Cl2, CHCl3 and CCl4 at high pressures

P,T,X phase diagrams of the CH₂Cl₂-H₂O, the CHCl₃-H₂O and the CCl₄-H₂) systems have been studied by DTA in the pressure range 10^–3 to 5.0 kbar. Under pressure the cubic structure II (CS-II) hydrates forming in all the systems are replaced by hydrates with the composition M·7.3 H₂O whose stoichiometry and positive dT/dP values of melting lead us to believe that they are CS-I hydrates.In the CH₂Cl₂ and CHCl₃ systems the nonvariant point coordinates of the hydrate transformationQ ₂ ^h (l₁h17h7l₂, where l₁ and l₂ are liquid phases abundant in water and hydrate former, respectively, h₁₇ and h₇ are hydrates with hydrate numbers 17 and 7, respectively) areP = 0.6 kbar, T = –1.5°C andP =2.65 kbar,T = –10.5°C, respectively. In the CCl₄ system the 4-phaseQ ₃ ^h point (l₁h₁₇h₇s, where s is crystalline CCl₄) has coordinatesP = 0.75 kbar and T = 0.4°C.The main obstacle of the present study, the very slow achievement of equilibrium, has been eliminated by adding small amounts (0.25% by mass) of surfactants followed by ultrasonic mixing. We have shown that this accelerates the achievement of equilibrium without changing its position.
