Thermodynamic properties of aqueous organic mixtures near the critical demixing: Cases of 2,6-dimethylpyridine and of 2-isobutoxyethanol

Phase diagrams, volumes and heat capacities of aqueous mixtures of 2,6-dimethylpyridine (2,6-L) and 2-isobutoxyethanol (iBE) and activities of 2,6-L in aqueous mixtures were measured in the monophasic region near the lower critical solution temperature (LCST). With 2,6-L some measurement were also made just above the LCST. From the temperature dependence of these data, partial molar relative enthalpies (2,6-L), expansibilities and the temperature derivative of heat capacities were calculated and show that iBE undergoes a microphase transition at low concentration which is not related to the phase separation. On the other hand, the properties of 2,6-L in the water-rich region at temperatures well below the LCST indicates that this solute has only a slight tendency to associate. The heat capacities of 2,6-L show an important increase near the LCST. Such changes are not observed for iBE and other alkoxyethanols and amines since these systems already exist in the form of microphases; the partial molar properties of iBE near the LCST are nearly equal to the molar values of the pure liquid, and the changes in thermodynamic properties corresponding to the macroscopic phase transition, are therefore too small to be measured by the present techniques.     

Micelle formation of ethoxylated nonyl-phenols in aqueous solutions

The micelle formation of nonyl-phenols with various numbers of ethoxy groups (n _EO=10–40) was investigated in aqueous solutions and the study was focussed on the effect of temperature (293–323 K), the chain length and the inorganic electrolyte (NaCl) on the critical micelle concentration (c.m.c).The c.m.c. was determined by surface tension and interfacial tension measurements in a water/n-octane system. On the basis of the actual c.m.c. and its temperature dependence the thermodynamic functions of micelle formation (H° _m,S°_m,G°_m) were also calculated. The latter study comprised the determination of the thermodynamic function for unity ethoxy groups ((Y° _m)) as a function ofn _EO.According to the experimental results the micellar solutions are the more stable, the smaller the number of ethoxy groups in the tenside molecule and the higher the temperature as well as the electrolyte content of the system.

Excess Molar Volume and Viscosity of Isobutyric Acid + Water Binary Mixtures Near and Far Away from the Critical Temperature

The excess molar volume V^E, shear viscosity deviation Δη and excess Gibbs energy of activation ΔG^∗E of viscous flow have been investigated by using density (ρ) and shear viscosity (η) measurements for isobutyric acid + water (IBA+W) mixtures over the entire range of mole fractions at five different temperatures, both near and close to the critical temperature (2.055K ≤ (T−T_c)≤ 13.055K). The results were also fitted with the Redlich–Kister equation. This system exhibited very large negative values of V^E and very large positive values of Δη due to increased hydrogen bonding interactions and correlation length between unlike molecules in the critical region and to very large differences between the molar volumes of the pure components at low temperatures. The activation parameters ΔH^∗ and ΔS^∗ have been also calculated and show that the critical region has an important effect on the volumetric properties.     

Properties of a Ring Critical Pointas Measures of Intramolecular H-Bond Strength

Summary.  The topological parameters derived from the Bader theory such as the electron density and its Laplacian at the ring critical point (RCP) are analysed here as possible measures of the H-bond stength for intramolecular H-bonds. The parameters of RCP correlate well with the other properties of intramolecular H-bonds which are known as good measures of the H-bond strength. The calculations were performed on two samples of compounds with intramolecular H-bonds: the derivatives of malonaldehyde and the derivatives of o-hydroxybenzaldehyde. MP2 and HF calculations were carried out using a 6-311++G^** basis set. E-mail: slagra@krysia.uni.lodz.pl Received February 18, 2002; accepted (revised) May 27, 2002     

铁过量与人体健康

综述了机体铁储存过多与某些疾病之间的关系,包括:铁过量与肝脏疾病、心血管病、肿瘤、肾损伤、高血压等有关。铁过量主要是由于病理过程和通过各种途径进入人体的铁量增加。过量的铁在失控条件下,引起细胞成分的明显损伤,导致组织炎症和多器官的纤维化。因为铁是自由基反应的催化剂,可引起过氧化作用或细胞膜脂质和细胞内化合物的交联反应,致细胞老化或死亡。     

氰乙基纤维素溶致性液晶的研究

氰乙基纤维素在二甲基甲酰胺、二甲基乙酰胺、二甲基亚砜、乙腈以及丙酮等溶剂中可以形成溶致性液晶。随浓度增加,溶液从各向同性状态经两相共存态转变成为完全的液晶态。升高温度到T_c,液晶相消失;降低温度到T′_c,液晶相再生成。T_c总大于T′_c。而且,浓度越高,过冷温度△T=T_c—T′_c越小。在各向同性,两相共存或完全的液晶状态,溶液平均折射率和消光度均与浓度呈线性关系。但在两相间相互转变时,即在C_1~*和C_2~*处,n-C和 A-C 曲线上出现转折点。高聚物与溶剂的相互作用参数X_(12)愈小,临界浓度C_1~*愈小。把描述大分子链柔顺性的参数f与X_(12)联系起来,可用 1956年 Flory的理论定性地解释溶剂对高聚物溶致性液晶形成的影响。     

Concentrated electrolyte solutions at high temperatures and pressures

A survey is given of recent experimental results obtained from high-temperature, high-pressure investigations with water, aqueous solutions, and ionic fluids. Data on the static dielectric constant of water to 550°C and 5 kbar are given and discussed with respect to their relation to water structure. Infrared and Raman spectra of HDO in pure water have been obtained to 400°C and 4 kbar, which give information on hydrogen bonding. Xe–H₂O and CO₂–H₂O mixtures were investigated in the infrared. Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes were investigated by absorption spectroscopy in aqueous solutions of high chloride content to 350°C and 2–6 kbar. The gas-liquid critical point of ammonium chloride was found at 880°C and 1635 bars. This fluid appears to be predominantly ionic even in the critical region. The possibility of converting pure polar fluids such as ammonia and water into concentrated ionic solutions by self-ionization at very high pressures is mentioned.This paper was presented at the symposium, The Physical Chemistry of Aqueous Systems, held at the University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, June 12–14, 1972, in honor of the 70th birthday of Professor H. S. Frank.
