ZnS and ZnSe Nanoparticles via Solid-State and Solution Thermolysis of Zinc Silylchalcogenolate Complexes

The thermolysis of the zinc trimethylsilylchalcogenolate complexes (N,N′-tmeda)Zn(ESiMe₃)₂ (E = S, 1; E = Se, 2) and (3,5-Me₂-C₅H₃N)₂Zn(ESiMe₃)₂ (E = S, 3; E = Se, 4) has been investigated. Solid-state thermal decomposition of complexes 1–4 above 250°C results in the formation of hexagonal ZnS and cubic ZnSe, respectively, via the liberation of TMEDA (1–2) or 3,5-lutidine (3–4) and E(SiMe₃)₂. Solid-state or solution thermolysis of these complexes up to 200°C produces nanocrystalline ZnS and ZnSe materials whose surface is protected by either coordinated TMEDA or 3,5-lutidine ligands. The progress of the step-wise solid-state decomposition of these complexes was monitored by thermogravimetric and single differential thermal analysis and volatile decomposition products in both solution and solid-state experiments were identified by GC/MS.Dedicated to Professor Brian F.

［Mo_3（μ_3－O）（μ－Cl）_3（μ－O_2CR）_3Cl_3］~－系列三核钼的电化学及热化学性质的研究

用循环伏安法研究了［Ｍｏ_３ＯＣｌ_６（Ｏ_２ＣＲ）_３］－（其中Ｒ＝ＣＨ_３，Ｈ，ＣＨ_２Ｃｌ）系列三核钼簇合物在ＣＨ_３ＣＮ和ＤＭＦ溶剂中的电化学行为，并用差热－热重手段研究了它们的热稳定性和热分解过程的可能机理。结果表明在不同溶剂中它们有相似的二对氧化还原峰，而且在同一溶剂中随着Ｒ基团吸电子能力的增强，相应的第一氧化还原电位值向正向移动。当Ｒ＝ＣＨ_３，Ｈ时，它们的起始分解温度分别为２６５℃和２１０℃，即同样随着Ｒ基团吸电子能力的增强，起始分解温度降低。

Phase Diagram and Growth Behaviour of Durene–resorcinol System

Phase diagram of durene–resorcinol system, determined by the thaw-melt method, shows the formation of a monotectic (0.109 mole fraction of durene) and an eutectic (0.964 mole fraction of durene) with a large liquid miscibility gap in the region from 0.109 to 0.964 mole fraction of durene. The eutectic, monotectic and consolute temperatures are 78.4, 107.8 and 165.0°C, respectively. The growth behaviour studied by measuring the linear velocity of crystallization (v) in a capillary at different undercoolings (ΔT) suggests that the data obey the Hillig–Turnbull equation,v=u(ΔT)ⁿ, where u and n are constants depending on the nature of materials involved. From the values of enthalpy of fusion of the pure components, the eutectic and the monotectic determined by the DSC method using Mettler DSC-4000 system, entropy of fusion, enthalpy of mixing, Jackson’sroughness parameter, size of the critical nucleus interfacial energy and excess thermodynamic functions were calculated. The microstructures of the eutectic, and the monotectic, determined by the Leitz Laborlux D optical microscope show their characteristic features.

Conformational analysis of hydrogen polyoxides

The semiempirical AM I method was used for the calculation of conformational potential energy surfaces of hydrogen trioxide and tetraoxide. The most stable conformation of trioxide is itsanti-form, which is characterized by the torsion angle = 82.3°, and that of tetraoxide is theanti, anti-form with = 80.7° (H-O-O-O) and 74.1° (O-O-O-O). The structures of the stable conformers are determined by the interaction between lone clectron pairs of oxygen atoms. The dipole-dipole interaction of OH groups is weaker than that in hydrogen peroxide. The results were used for the estimation of the polyoxide increment of the Benson's additivity scheme, _f H°[O-(O)₂] = 48±6 k1 mol^–1.Translated from lzveshyn Akademii Nauk.

Thermodynamic characteristics of thermal dissociation of platinum tetrachloride

The pressure of thermal dissociation of platinum tetrachloride by the first step PtCl₄(s) = PtCl₃(s) + 0.5 Cl₂(g) was measured by the static method with a quartz membrane-gauge zero-pressure manometer. An approximating equation for the dissociation pressure vs. temperature was found. The enthalpy (52160±880 J mol⁻¹) and entropy (72.1±1.6 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹) of dissociation were calculated. The heat of formation found for platinum tetrachloride (−246.3±1.3 kJ mol⁻¹) at 298.15 K agrees well with the value obtained by the calorimetric method (−245.6±1.9 kJ mol⁻¹).__________Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

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.
