Direct measurement of gas solubility and diffusivity in poly(vinylidene fluoride) with a high-pressure microbalance

We present solubility and diffusion data for the gases methane and carbon dioxide in the polymer poly(vinylidene fluoride). The polymer was cut from extruded piping intended for use in offshore oil and gas applications. Measurements were carried out using a purpose-built high-pressure microbalance. These properties were determined in the temperature range 80-120 °C and in the pressure range 50-150 bar for methane and 20-40 bar for carbon dioxide. In general, good agreement was obtained for similar measurements reported in the literature. Solubility follows a Henry’s law (linear) dependence with pressure. Diffusion coefficients for each of the gases in the polymer were also measured using the balance. Activation energies for diffusion and heats of solution for the two gases in the polymer were also determined.     

Modeling high-pressure densities at wide temperature range with volume scaling: Cyclohexane + n-hexadecane mixtures

High-pressure density data for cyclohexane + n-hexadecane mixtures at a wide temperature range was modeled with several classical equations of state (EOS) and correlative models. A modification for softening the co-volume and another for a volume scaling of the Peng–Robinson EOS (VS-PR) were proposed. The VS-PR model is able to correlate the pure component experimental data employing only five adjustable parameters, with root-mean-square deviation (RMSD) between calculated and experimental densities essentially within the experimental error. This result is superior to widely used approaches, i.e., a six parameter Tait model and six parameter volume translations (temperature and pressure dependent) for Peng–Robinson and Patel–Teja EOS. The VS-PR model also represents well the isobaric thermal expansion and the isothermal compressibility coefficients of the pure cyclohexane, a small naphthenic substance as well as a long chain n-alkane hydrocarbon, n-hexadecane. When modeling the mixture data, the use of VS-PR model of pure components along with the Redlich–Kister expansion, truncated at the first term, the density was correlated within a RMSD only 60% greater than the experimental error. The proposed model is able to accurately represent all the tested mixture data with a relatively small number of parameters.     

Crystal structure of a new high-pressure phase, K0.82Mg1.68(Cr2.84Fe0.84Ti2.11Zr0.08)O12, with one-dimensional tunnels

The crystal structure of a new complex Ti-Cr oxide phase, K_0.82Mg_1.68(Cr_2.84Fe_0.84Ti_2.11Zr_0.08)O₁₂, synthesized at 13 GPa and 1400 °C, has been determined with single-crystal X-ray diffraction. It has a hexagonal symmetry with the space group P6₃/m and unit-cell parameters a=9.1763(13) and , , Z=1. The structure is characterized by the hollandite-type double chains of edge-shared M2 octahedra occupied by trivalent and tetravalent cations (Ti+Cr+Fe+Zr); these double chains are linked to one another through shared octahedral apexes to form a framework structure containing two types of tunnels running parallel to the c-axis. One type of tunnels has a hexagonal cross-section and is occupied by large K⁺, whereas the other has a triangular cross-section and is occupied by Mg²⁺. The K⁺ cation is disordered between two crystallographically equivalent (2a) sites in the tunnels and displays a U₃₃ displacement parameter that is significantly greater than U₁₁. The new high-pressure phase reported in this study possesses many structural features similar to those for the hollandite compounds, making it a candidate for the 1-D fast ionic conductors.     

Location of type B carbonate ion in type A-B carbonate apatite synthesized at high pressure

The structure of a complex, disordered type A-B carbonate apatite (CAp) of approximate composition Ca₁₀(PO₄)_6−y(CO₃)_x+(3/2)y(OH)_2−2x, x-0.7, y-0.6, synthesized at 3 GPa, 1400°C has been determined using single-crystal X-ray diffraction and FTIR spectroscopy at room temperature and pressure. Crystal data are: hexagonal, space group P6₃/m, Z=1; a=9.5143(3), c=6.8821(2) Å, V=539.5 Å³, and R=0.025. There are three structural locations for the carbonate ion. The channel carbonate is mainly in the closed vertical configuration of the structure, with two of its oxygen atoms close to the c-axis (A1 carbonate; IR bands at 1541 and 1449 cm⁻¹), but subordinate amounts are also located in an open vertical configuration (A2 carbonate; IR bands at 1563 and 1506 cm⁻¹). The type B carbonate ion is located close to the sloping faces of the PO₄ tetrahedron (IR bands at 1474 and 1406 cm⁻¹), confirming earlier inferences from polarized IR spectra.     

The preparation of immobilized polysiloxane coated on packings materials for high-pressure gas chromatography

Summary In high pressure gas chromatography efficient columns can be packed by the slurry packing technique. However, polysiloxane stationary phases like OV 101 and OV 3 dissolve in the packing liquids. In order to make them suitable for slurry packing these stationary phases have to be made insoluble. This immobilization is achieved by bonding the stationary phases to the surface by means of a high temperature treatment. Successive layers are applied by recoating and are immobilized by a cross-link reaction. A range of loading percentages from 4 upto 20 by weight could be prepared in this way. On the evaluated columns compounds like butanol and dioxane elute as rather symmetrical peaks with the correct values for the retention index, indicating the absence of adsorption effects. Efficiency is good and bleeding rate is low. The columns could be successfully used in the analysis of turpentines.     

Molecular dynamics investigation of the pressure induced B1 to B2 phase transitions of RbBr

The pressure induced transformation of rubidium bromide from the NaCl (B1) to the CsCl (B2) type structure is elucidated by means of molecular dynamics simulations. Two different approaches were followed. The “conventional” procedure of applying pressures, which are increased successively, leads to a phase transformation at a critical pressure of 80-85 kbar. This is 16-17 times the experimental value. On the other hand, the phase transition is studied by path sampling molecular dynamics simulations. This approach allows investigating the process at 5 kbar, i.e. it does not require over-driving. At this pressure the system takes pathways related to the route proposed by Bürger, exclusively. In the runs in which an over-pressurization of 80 kbar is applied, we instead observe both the Bürger mechanism and the route proposed by Watanabe et al.     

Understanding Reaction Dynamics in Coordination Chemistry—Application of High Pressure Techniques

In order to understand the dynamics of chemical reactions in general, detailed information on electronic, structural and kinetic properties is required. The key questions on how chemical reactions actually occur can in many cases only be answered in terms of information obtained from kinetic studies. In conventional kinetic studies of chemical reactions in solution, the variables usually selected include concentration, acidity, solvent, and temperature. In recent years, pressure has become an additional selected variable in such studies. It enables the measurement of the volume of activation and the construction of reaction volume profiles and thus assists in the elucidation of the underlying mechanism; it also completes the comprehension of reaction kinetics by adding another kinetic parameter that the suggested reaction mechanism must account for. Furthermore, the volume of activation is the only transition state property that can be correlated with the corresponding ground state property in an experimentally simple manner. In this paper, the insights so gained in our understanding of the dynamics of reactions involving coordination complexes will be presented. Such reactions are of fundamental interest to chemists since they often form the basis of catalytic, biological, environmental and energy related processes. Any additional information that will add to the understanding of the reaction dynamics is therefore of exceptional importance.     

The effect of alcoholic mobile phase modifiers on retention and stereoselectivity on a commercially available cellulose-based HPLC chiral stationary phase: An unexpected reversal in enantiometric elution order

Summary High pressure liquid chromatographic methods for the determination of diphenylmethane-4,4-diisocyanate (MDI) and toluene diisocyanate (TDI) in chemical products are described. The MDI- and TDI monomers were determined as their urea derivative formed by the reaction with 9-(methyl aminomethyl)-anthracene. Using these methods MDI- and TDI monomer concentrations have been determined in 55 chemical products: sealing waxes, insulating- and adhesive foam, hardener, primer, adhesives and surface coatings. The recovery of both MDI and TDI monomers from various types of chemical product was found to be 92–97%, and the relative standard deviations of the methods was <5% for all types of products.     

Multianvil high-pressure/high-temperature preparation, crystal structure, and properties of the new oxoborates Dy4B6O14(OH)2 and Ho4B6O14(OH)2

This paper reports about two new hydrogen-containing rare-earth oxoborates RE₄B₆O₁₄(OH)₂ (RE=Dy, Ho) synthesized under high-pressure/high-temperature conditions from the corresponding rare-earth oxides, boron oxide, and water using a Walker-type multianvil equipment at 8 GPa and 880 °C. The single crystal structure determination of Dy₄B₆O₁₄(OH)₂ showed: Pbcn, a=1292.7(2), b=437.1(2), , Z=2, R1=0.0190, and wR2=0.0349 (all data). The isotypic holmium species revealed: Pbcn, a=1292.8(2), b=436.2(2), , Z=2, R1=0.0206, and wR2=0.0406 (all data). The compounds exhibit a new type of structure, which is built up from layers of condensed BO₄-tetrahedra. Between the layers, the rare-earth cations are coordinated by 7+2 oxygen atoms. Furthermore, we report about temperature-resolved in situ powder diffraction measurements, DTA/TG, and IR-spectroscopic investigations into RE₄B₆O₁₄(OH)₂ (RE=Dy, Ho).
