Combination and disproportionation of methyl and 2-propyl radicals with 1,1,2-trimethylallyl radicals

The combinations and disproportionations of the CH₃ and 2-propyl (iP) radicals with the 1,1,2-trimethylallyl (TMA) radical have been studied in the gas phase in the temperature interval of 389–451 K and 490–540 K, respectively. For the ratios of the terminal (t) and non-terminal (n) combinations of the CH₃ and iP radicals with the TMA radical, values of 1.9±0.1 and 2.84±±0.10 were obtained, respectively. The ratios of the tt and tn and nn to tn combinations of the TMA radical were 1.59 and 0.46, respectively. The disproportionation-combination rations were (CH₃ , TMA)=0.022±±0.012 and (iP, TMA)=0.026±0.011.

Temperature programmed desorption of NH3 and H2O from NH4NaX and CoNH4NaX zeolites

A study has been made of temperature programmed desorption (TPD) of NH₃ and H₂O from samples of NH₄X and CoNH₄X zeolites of various degree of exchange. NH₃ TPD peaks could be explained by interaction of NH₃ with different Brönsted and Lewis acidic centers. Moreover a water peak at high temperatures allowed interpretations of the dehydroxylation, and by reason of the characteristic desorption temperatures a particular state of the Co²⁺ ions in the CoNH₄X zeolites is postulated.

Determination of the surface acidity of solid catalysts

A novel method has been developed for determining the surface acidity of white, as well as deeply colored porous solids. The method, which was tested on Al₂O₃, SiO₂–MgO–Al₂O₃ and Fe₂O₃ catalysts, is based on the adsorption of pyridine or benzylamine on acidic sites and subsequent displacement of the adsorbed bases by n-butylamine. A linear correlation was found between the concentration of acidic sites on Al₂O₃ and Fe₂O₃ catalysts and their activity in the dehydration oftert-butyl alcohol.

Trends in the high-temperature heat capacities of ternary chalcopyrite semiconductors

The anharmonic contribution to the heat capacity of any chalcopyrite semiconductor A^IB^IIIC ₂ ^VI or A^IIB^IVC ₂ ^V is evaluated. It is shown that the degree of lattice anharmonicity decreases with increasing atomic weight of the constituent atoms of the compounds, and there is no essential difference in the degree of lattice anharmonicity of the two groups of compounds. Except for CdGeAs₂, the trend in the Grüneisen constants is the same.

Order and disorder in mixed metal linear chains: The homo and heterobimetallic EDTA (M(H2O)4OIOII)[M′(EDTA)] · 6H2O complexes (M = Mg,Mn, Co,Zn and Ni; M′ = Co,Ni, Cu and Zn)

Summary Polymetallic solid solutions of the ethylenediaminetetracetic acid (EDTA) and six divalent metal ions exist in the range: MgMnCoZnNiCu(EDTA) · 6H₂O where + + + + + =2, 01, 0,,2, 0, 1.This type of structure is characterized by the presence of two different octahedral carboxylate-bridged coordination sites forming infinite zig-zag chains. Visible and i.r. spectra and t.g.a. analysis show that there is occupational preference for the two coordination sites in the crystalline structure.Due to this preference, and also to the structural features, the heterobimetallic MM(EDTA) · 6H₂O compounds constitute a structurally new class of materials which can be described as ordered alternating-heterobimetallic polymeric coordination complexes.     

X-ray and thermal studies on uranyl acetates of zinc,magnesium and nickel

Thermal decomposition of metal uranyl acetates is one of the best ways of preparation of uranates in crystalline form at low temperatures. Acetates of the type M(UO₂)₂(OAc)₆·7H₂O (M=Zn(II), Mg(II) and Ni(II) were prepared and characterised. Their X-ray powder diffraction analysis showed that they all belong to the orthorhombic crystal class.The thermal decomposition of acetates in air goes through the reduction of uranium(VI) to uranium(IV) during acetate decomposition followed by reoxidation by oxygen. Zinc uranylacetate gave on thermal decomposition ZnU₃O₁₀, the nickel salt gave NiU₃O₁₀ and the magnesium salt gave a mixture of MgUO₄ and MgU₃O₁₀. The thermal decomposition of acetates in helium led to reduction of uranium(VI) to uranium(IV) with the formation of UO₂. No lower valent uranates could be identified.

Zusammenfassung Thermische Zersetzung von Metalluranylazetaten ist eine der geeignetsten Methoden zur Darstellung kristalliner Uranate bei niedrigen Temperaturen. Azetate des Types M(UO₂)₂(OAc)₆·7H₂O mitM=Zn(II), Mg(II) und Ni(II) wurden hergestellt und beschrieben. Eine Pulverdiffraktionsanalyse zeigte, daß alle der orthorhombischen Kristallklasse angehören. Der thermische Zerfall der Azetate in Luft vollzieht sich während des Azetatzerfalls über die Reduktion von Uran(VI) zu Uran(IV) bis zu einer anschließenden Reoxydation durch Sauerstoff. Bei der thermischen Zersetzung liefert Zinkuranylazetat ZnU₃O₁₀, das Nickelsalz liefert NiU₃O₁₀ und das Magnesiumsalz ein Gemisch aus MgUO₄ und MgU₃O₁₀. Der thermische Zerfall der Azetate in Helium führt zur Reduktion von Uran(VI) zu Uran(IV) unter Bildung von UO₃. Uranate mit niedrigerer Wertigkeit konnten nicht identifiziert werden.

Calculation of the mass transfer coefficient with a chemical reaction in a gas-liquid system

A solution of the problem of mass transfer in a turbulent boundary layer has been obtained with a first-order chemical reaction occurring in the liquid phase. The dependence of the enhancement factor for absorption and of the mass transfer coefficient on the model parameters can be used for building up a hierarchic model of the gas-liquid reactor.

Kinetic isotope effect in trans-alkylation with ethylbenezene

Kinetic isotope effect (KIE) measurements in the trans-alkylation of toluene and benzene with ethylbenzene in hexane in the presence of AlBr₃ at 313 K indicate that deuterium in the toluene methyl group causes a small inverse KIE characteristic for a -complex transiton state. The small direct KIE found for the reaction with C₂D₅C₆H₅ does not agree with a mechanism involving alkyl-and -phenylalkyl cations.

Kinetics of thermal dehydration of some bis-salicylato-diaquo complexes of transition metal ions

The kinetics of thermal dehydration of bis-salicylato-diaquo complexes of VO(II), Cu(II), Ni(II), Co(II), Fe(II), Mn(II) and Zn(II) were studied. The activation energies and other kinetic parameters were evaluated. The observed kinetic parameters indicate first-order reactions. The activation energy of the thermal dehydration decreases in the sequence VO(II) > Cu(II) > Zn(II) > Co(II) > Ni(II) > Fe(II) > Mn(II), which is also the sequence for the difference in carboxyl group IR frequency.

Study of hydroisomerization of n-hexane on natural mordenite catalyst

A mordenite-containing rock sample from the Tokaj Mountains (Hungary) and its various forms modified by chemical treatment have been tested for catalytic properties during isomerization of n-hexane. Addition of Pt to the catalyst leads to a sharp decrease in the rate of cracking and in the rate of deactivation and this results in a catalyst of high selectivity for hexane isomers.

Displacement of hydrogen from rhodium surface by carbon monoxide under conditions of pulsed-gas chromatography

Interaction of carbon monoxide with hydrogen on the surface of rhodium catalysts has been investigated under conditions of pulsed-gas chromatography within the temperature range of –80 to 500 °C. At temperatures up to about 180 °C adsorbed hydrogen was found to be displaced to the gaseous phase as a result of carbon oxide adsorption. At higher temperatures conversion of carbon monoxide and hydrogen to methane takes place.

Reduction of benzylideneaniline over supported Pd catalysts

In this work we have carried out a study on the liquid phase hydrogenation of benzylideneaniline, using dihydrogen over various supported Pd catalysts. Benzyl-ideneaniline reduction can be classified as insensitive to the catalyst structure. On the other hand, no compensating effect has been observed in performing the reaction over different supported Pd catalysts.

Synthesis and thermostability of the binary condensed phosphates

Some condensed phosphates, especially cyclo-tetraphosphates have been synthetized as new binary compounds and their existence has been proved. The synthesis of cyclo-CdMgP₄O₁₂ is shown as an example. The products crystallize in the monoclinic system (C2c group) and are stable to 900°C. The synthesis is based on a thermal procedure making use of the reversible transformation of cyclo-tetraphosphates to higher linear phosphates (the 1.method) and on a calcination of the starting binary dihydrogenphosphate at quasi-isothermal-isobaric conditions (the 2.method).

Prostanoids: LXXVII. Synthetic Approaches to Sterically Overcrowded Cyclopentenones

Condensation of (±)-5-allyl-2,3,5-trichloro-4,4-dimethoxy-2-cyclopentenone with phenylethynylmagnesium bromide in THF gave (±)-5-allyl-2,3,5-trichloro-4,4-dimethoxy-1-phenylethynyl-2-cyclopenten-1-ol which chemoselectively reacted with ozone at the terminal double bond, affording (±)-2,3,5-trichloro-5-formylmethyl-4,4-dimethoxy-1-phenylethynyl-2-cyclopenten-1-ol. Oxidation of the latter with H₂CrO₄ yielded a mixture of the expected product, (±)-5-carboxymethyl-2,3,5-trichloro-4,4-dimethoxy-1-phenylethynyl-2-cyclopenten-1-ol, and anomalous profound oxidation product, (±)-2,3,5-trichloro-5-carboxymethyl-4,4-dimethoxy-1-(2-oxo-2-phenylacetyl)-2-cyclopenten-1-ol. Attempts to remove protective methoxy groups in these compounds under standard conditions were unsuccessful.
