A correlation between the extension of the miscibility gaps and the nature of the components in some binary systems

The liquid-liquid equilibrium regions in binary systems, one component of which is a dicarboxylic aliphatic acid, are examined by the linear equation in (x ₁/x₁)=a+bT. Theb term is plottedvs. the difference of polar character and one graph is obtained for the different systems.We thank the CNR (Rome) for financial aid.     

Supercooling phenomena in the binary systems: Acetamide-electrolytes

This paper presents a final discussion on studies of solutions of electrolytes in molten acetamide. These studies deal with cryoscopic and ultrasonic (by shear waves) techniques and reveal the complexity of the behaviour of these systems due to strong ion-solvent interactions.

Zusammenfassung Die über Lösungen von Elektrolyten in geschmolzenem Acetamid ausgeführten Untersuchungen werden diskutiert. Diese Untersuchungen erstrecken sich auf kryoskopische und Ultraschall-Methoden und vermitteln ein Bild von der durch starke Ionen-Lösungsmittel-Wechselwirkungen bedingten Komplexität des Verhaltens dieser Systeme.

Synthesis,spectroscopic characterization (IR, 1H, 13C and 119Sn NMR,electrospray mass spectrometry) and toxicity of new organotin(IV) complexes with N,N′,O‐ and N,N′,S‐scorpionate ligands

New organotin(IV) derivatives containing the anionic ligands bis(3,5‐dimethylpyrazol‐1‐yl)dithioacetate [LCS₂]⁻ and bis(3,5‐dimethylpyrazol‐1‐yl)acetate [LCO₂]⁻ have been synthesized from reaction between (CH₃)₂SnCl₂ and lithium salts of the ligands. Mononuclear complexes of the type {[LCX₂](CH₃)₂SnCl} (X = S or O) have been obtained and fully characterized by elemental analyses and FT‐IR in the solid state and by NMR (¹H, ¹³C and ¹¹⁹Sn) spectroscopy, conductivity measurements and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry in solution. The acute toxicity of new organotin(IV) derivatives on rat was studied, comparing their effect with those of dimethyltin chloride (CH₃)₂SnCl₂. The comparison of LD₅₀ of organotin(IV) complexes and (CH₃)₂SnCl₂ administered intraperitoneally, as a single dose, evaluated in vivo on rats, showed that toxicity decreases as follows: (CH₃)₂SnCl₂ > LCO₂ > LCS₂. The effect of these organotin(IV) complexes on DNA was evaluated in vitro and in vivo on rats treated with different doses of these compounds (1/20 LD₅₀ and 1/100 LD₅₀). The lymphocyte DNA status was assessed by the comet assay, a rapid and sensitive single‐cell electrophoresis technique, used to detect primary DNA damage in individual cells. After 36 h from the start of treatment the two new organotin(IV) derivatives induced a significant rise in comet assay parameters, indicating an increasing presence of damaged DNA.

Silver(I) and copper(I) complexes supported by fully fluorinated 1,3,5-triazapentadienyl ligands

Synthesis of the perfluorinated 1,3,5-triazapentadiene [N{(CF(3))C(C(6)F(5))N}(2)]H and the use of its conjugate base as a supporting ligand for the isolation of silver(i) and copper(i) complexes are reported. Some of the related chemistry involving [N{(C(3)F(7))C(C(6)F(5))N}(2)](-) (that has bulkier -C(3)F(7) groups on the 1,3,5-triazapentadienyl ligand backbone) is also presented. X-ray crystallographic data show a wide variety of structures ranging from intermolecular, hydrogen-bonded chain structure for [N{(CF(3))C(C(6)F(5))N}(2)]H with a twisted W-shaped N(3)C(2) core, monomeric [N{(CF(3))C(C(6)F(5))N}(2)]Ag(CN(t)Bu)(2) and [N{(C(3)F(7))C(C(6)F(5))N}(2)]Ag(CN(t)Bu)(2) where the κ(1)-bonded triazapentadienyl ligand bonding to the metal fragment via the central nitrogen atom, monomeric [N{(CF(3))C(C(6)F(5))N}(2)]Ag(PPh(3))(2) and [N{(C(3)F(7))C(C(6)F(5))N}(2)]Ag(PPh(3))(2) that feature κ(1)-bonded triazapentadienyl ligand bonding to the metal fragment via one of the terminal nitrogen atoms, to that of the monomeric [N{(CF(3))C(C(6)F(5))N}(2)]Cu(CN(t)Bu)(2) containing a κ(2)-bonded triazapentadienyl ligand and a U-shaped NCNCN ligand backbone. The isocyanide adducts show relatively high ν(CN) values in the IR spectra.     

Interchange free energy between COO and CH3 or CH2 groups from liquid-solid equilibrium temperatures in binary systems: Alkane + ester

The liquid-solid equilibrium temperatures in the n-tetracosane + methyl octadecanoate, methyl nonadecanoate or ethyl octadecanoate binary systems are determined in order to obtain the interchange parameters between CH₃ or CH₂ and COO groups, by means of the statistics of group interaction.     

CONTROLLING THE 3D NANOSCALE ORGANIZATION OF BULK HETEROJUNCTION POLYMER SOLAR CELLS

In this study,the three dimensional nanoscale organization in the photoactive layers of poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) and a methanofullerene derivative (PCBM) is revealed by transmission electron tomography.After annealing treatment,either at elevated temperature or during slow solvent evaporation,nanoscale interpenetrating networks are formed with high crystalline order and favorable concentration gradients of both components through the thickness of the photoactive layer.Such a tailored morphology acco...     

The phase equilibria in some binary systems containing stearic alcohol

The liquid — liquid and liquid — solid equilibrium temperatures are taken for the binary systems octadecanol + A (A=dicarboxylic acids, biphenyl or (K, Na) stearate). The results are discussed and a relation connecting the composition of the eutectics with the thermodynamic properties of fusion of the components is derived from the ideal equation and compared with the experimental one.
