Enthalpies de formation des hydroxynitrates de zinc

The standard enthalpies of reaction of four zinc hydroxide nitrates Zn(OH)(NO₃)-H₂O, Zn₃(OH)₄(NO₃)₂, Zn₅(OH)₈(NO₃)₂·2H₂O et Zn₅(OH)₈(NO₃)₂ and zinc oxide with a solution of nitric acid (2N) were measured in a solution calorimeter. These results, combined with auxiliary thermochemical values from the literature, yielded values of ?429.34, ?442.41, ?897.41 and ?750.70 kcal mol^?1 respectively, for the molar enthalpies of formation of these zinc hydroxide nitrates.     

Etude thermodynamique de la décomposition thermique des hydroxynitrates de zinc

The reaction scheme of thermal decomposition for four zinc hydroxynitrates was investigated by means of differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetry, mass spectrometry, and radiocrystallography. The thermal transformation of Zn(OH)(NO₃) · H₂O and of Zn₃(OH)₄(NO₃)₂ involves the formation of gaseous water and nitric acid from an actual chemical reaction. This reaction is not observed for Zn₅(OH)₈(NO₃)₂ · 2H₂O and Zn₅(OH)₈(NO₃)₂. These results show that the formation of gaseous nitric acid molecules inside the solids is specific to hydroxynitrates of divalent metals M, whose lamellar crystalline structure is characterized by a stacking of hexagonal close-packed layers of formula MX_2+m, where m = 0 or 1 and X = OH^?, H₂O, or NO^?₃.     

Spectres de masse des anomeres pyranniques et furanniques de la thymidine,de leurs acetates et des bromohydrines correspondantes

The mass spectra of furanic and pyranic anomers of thymidine as well as those of acetates and bromohydrines of these four molecules are studied and compared. The stability of molecular ions is correlated with the chemical stability of these copmpounds. Molecular ions of β forms are more stable than those of α forms. The instability of the bromohydrines molecular ions is such that they are only observed for β furanic anomers. The eliminmation of the ·CH₂OH or ·CH₂OAc radical is noterd only for the furanic compound. The cleavage of CH₂O in the β furanic substances is correleated with the steric vicinity of the base and the sugar 5′ hydroxide. The ions[BH ? Ch?CH₂]⁺ and those resulting from this rearrangement and cleavage of sugar moiety, are enhanced in the case of furanic forms. After rupture of the N-glycosidic bon, the [B + H]⁺˙ and [B + 2H]⁺ ions resulting from the base and [S]⁺ are related to the molecular stereochemistry. The eliminationof one water molecular(or acetic acid) is easier in a sixs membered ring(pyranic). The concerted elimination of two water molecules (or acetic acid), more important in the furanic form, enables us to establish a ring cleavage mechanism which gives an ion with a conjugated aliphaticf structure; the pyranic form gives an aromatic cyclic ion in two steps.     

Cinetique complexe de l'halogenation de cetones en milieu acide—I : Iodation des enols

The kinetics of the iodination of acetone, diethylketone and di-isopropylketone in aqueous media ([H₂SO₄] = 0·1 to 1·0 N; [I₂]_a^o = 10^?7 to 10^?5M) have been studied by couloamperometry under irreversible conditions. At these concentrations the rates of formation of the enol and of its iodination are similar. The general equation, which assumes the steady state approximation for the enol, is applicable, and is used to separate the rate constants of enolisation (k₁) and the apparent enol iodination rate constant (k_II^I₂ = K_Ek₂^I₂). For acetone, the value given by Schwarzenbach for the enol equilibrium constant (K_E = 2·5 x 10^?6) leads to an elementary rate constant for the addition of iodine to the enol (k₂^I₂ = 6·5 x 10⁶ M^?1s^?1). This value is not, however, consistent with k_I2 = 1·5 x 10⁸ M^?1s^?1, the rate constant for the iodination of the corresponding ether 2-ethoxypropene.     

Étude en ondes millimétriques des variétés isotopiques en 13c et 18o de la molécule de trioxane: Structure de la molécule

The rotational spectra of the molecules (¹³CH₂O)(¹²CH₂O)₂ and (CH₂¹⁸O) (CH₂¹⁶O)₂ have been investigated in the region 30–290 GHz. The rotational constants determined are (MHz):A = 5271.106±0.007, B = 5176.405 ±0.007, C = 2904.376±0.34 for the former, andA = 5267.34±0.3, B = 508I.106±0.3, C = 2872.378± 10 for the latter molecule.The parameter C of the parent molecule (CH₂O)₃ has been determined: 2933.95 ±0.34 MHz. With the value A = B = 5273.258 ±0.002 for the parent molecule the following structural parameters were determined: r(C-O) = 1.4205± 0.005 Å, ∠COC = 109.5±0.5°, ∠OCO = 112±0.5°.     

Cinetique complexe de l'halogenation de cetones en milieu acide—II : Controle par la diffusion des vitesses d'halogenation des enols-consequences

The kinetics of the bromination and chlorination of acetone, diethylketone and di-isopropylketone (bromination only) have been studied at [X₂]_a^o ≈ 10^?7 to 10^?5 M; the apparent rate constants k_II^X₂ = K_Ek₂^X₂ (where K_E is the keto-enol equilibrium constant) for iodination, bromination and chlorination are approximately equal. This result is attributed to diffusion-controlled kinetics. The order of magnitude of such a limiting rate constant, 10⁹ M^?1s^?1 calculated from Smoluchowski's equation, leads to new values for K_E in solution (1·5 x 10^?8 for acetone) much smaller than those in the literature. The rate constants derived for enol ketonisation are then in good agreement with those from proton addition to the corresponding enol ethers.     

Determination calorimetrique de l'enthalpie de formation des alliages (Al,Ba) riches en aluminum

The heats of formation of some aluminium-barium alloys have been determined by drop calorimetry at high temperature. The heats of mixing of pure liquid Al and Ba to give the liquid alloy are Δ_mH(x_Ba=O.056, 1215 K)=?6.6 kJ mole^?1 and Δ_mH(x_Ba=O.333, 1215 K)=?31.0 kJ mole^-1. To measure its heat of formation, the solid compound Al₄Ba was precipitated by addition of pure barium from a liquid (Al, Ba) bath. It was found that Δ_fH(Al_0.8Ba_O.2, solid, 1215 K)=-(37.1 ? 1.5) kJ mole^?1 with reference to the pure metals in the solid state.     

Recherches sur la formation et la transformation des esters LXXVII [1]. Etude à l'aide de H2[18O] de la scission de quelques monoesters phosphoreux et de l'acide propargyl-benzènephosphonique

(1) Monopotassium phosphite KH₂PO₃ heated at 300°C with CO[¹⁸O] exchanges one atom of oxygen after 3 hours, one to two atoms after 6 hours, and its three O atoms after 12 hours; the probable mecanism of this exchange is discussed. When the same treatment is carried out in the presence of o-phenylene diamine hydrochloride, the exchange is total (three O) after 3 hours at 300°C. Treated by this last procedure, benzenephosphonic acid C₆H₅PO(OH)₂ undergoes equally a total exchange of its O atoms in 3 hours.     

Analyse en coordonnees normales des vibrations de la 4-nitropyridine N-oxyde

A 51-parameter force field is established for the vibrations of the 4-nitropyridine N-oxide (NPO) and the 4-nitropyridine-d₄ N-oxide (NPO-d₄) molecules. The mean error between the 72 observed and calculated frequencies is 4.8 cm⁻¹ for the in-plane vibrations and 2.1 cm⁻¹ for the out-of-plane vibrations. The NCA calculations confirm our previous assignments for the NPO spectra, but four frequencies were permuted for NPO-d₄. The force field calculations were extended to fit the vibrational frequencies of NPO in solution in CCl₄, MeOH and H₂O. The fact that a donor solvent favours one resonant form of NPO is clearly demonstrated by the variations of five force constants.     

Comparaison des champs de force des niobates,tantalates et antimoniates de structure columbite et trirutile

A comparison is made between the force fields calculated for the M^IINb^V₂O₆ and M^IITa^V₂O₆ columbite series and the M^IITa^V₂O₆ and M^IISb^V₂O₆ trirutile series. The trirutile structure is shown to be particularly more rigid than the columbite structure. For this reason, the trirutile structure exists only for divalent cations of small size. The stability of the two structures and their relative modifications are then compared. From a comparison of the vibrational spectra of the rutile FeSbO₄ with those of the trirutile MSb₂O₆ compounds, a short-range order in the rutile structure is proposed.     

Substitution électrophile aromatique dans l'anhydride sulfureux liquide. Influence de la concentration en bromure et rôle du solvant sur la réactivité des anisoles au cours de la réaction de bromation

Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution in Liquid Sulfur Dioxide. Kinetic Dependance of Rate on the Bromide Concentration and Influence of the Solvent during the Course of the Reaction On the reported data for bromination of anisole and eleven of its derivatives in liquid SO₂, it was shown that, with a large excess of bromide, the rate of reaction, obeys a first-order law. Rate constants thus obtained do not discriminate between the two different forms of bromide, e.g. Br₂ and Br^?₃ present as the A⁺Br^?₃ form, and corrections were made by use of the apparent equilibrium constant K′ for tribromide formation. The variations of rate constants with initial concentration of bromide has been studied and the effect results in a retardation of the bromination rate. Moreover, the ratio [Br₂] [A⁺Br^?]_T, which is constant during an experiment, varies with initial bromide concentrations, this variation affecting the total rate. To account for the bromide effect on the reactivity, variations of k^o,p_g {1 + K′[A⁺Br^?]_T}VS[A⁺Br^?]_T were studied over a 0.01 to 1M range of bromide concentration. The mechanism proposed shows that liquid SO₂ helps the reactive intermediate to be deprotonated and because of solvation of reactive species this step would probably be rate determining. Bromination by molecular bromine is more sensitive to substituent effects in liquid SO₂ than in water. This result is ascribed to the +M effect of the methoxy group which increase the conjugation of ortho-substituted derivatives (p⁺_p = ?7.83; p⁺_o= ?10.47).     

Etude thermodynamique de la decomposition thermique des hydrates du chlorure de magnesium

The thermodynamic study of the different compounds of the system MgCl₂, H₂O, HCl allows to draw the stability diagram of the 8 solid phases into a three-dimensional space (temperature, total pressure and ratio of HCl and H₂O partial pressures). The evolution of the composition of solid and gaseous phases during an isobaric heating is described. The conclusions of this study are in good agreement with the experimental results obtained in laboratory and with the industrial requirements set for the different steps of the dehydration of MgCl₂.     

Sur de nouveaux borates mixtes des métaux de transition isotypes de la warwickite

The isomorphism of borates CaLn³⁺BO₄ where Ln³⁺ stands for a small rare earth cation of Y³⁺, with the mineral warwickite (Fe,Mg)₃Ti(BO₄)₂ is demonstrated. The octahedral sites of the warwickite structure seem thus to accommodate rather large cations, like trivalent Y³⁺ or Dy³⁺ and bivalent Ca²⁺. The synthesis of several new transition-metal borates with this structure is reported. From a survey of all the warwickite-type compounds one comes to the conclusion that the structure is only stable when the size of the divalent cation M²⁺ is larger than that one of the trivalent M³⁺.     

Structure Cristalline de l'Arseniate Double de Potassium et de Zirconium: KZr2(AsO4)3

Crystal Structure of KZr₂(AsO₄)₃ KZr₂(AsO₄)₃ crystals have been prepared by the flux method. The compound crystallizes in the rhombohedral system with the parameters: a = 9.028(1), c = 24.399(3) Å. The density is d = 3.694 g/cm³ and Z = 6. The space group is R3 c. The structure has been solved by isotypism with that of NaZr₂(PO₄)₃ to R = 0.041, for 353 independent reflections. It consists in 3-dimensional chains of AsO₄ tetrahedra and ZrO₆ octahedra. K⁺ ions are the center of the antiprism with K—O distances equal to 2.813 Å. The Zr–O and As–O distances have the same values of those usually observed (Zr–O = 2,05 Å and As–O = 1.66 Å).     

Echange d'oxygène lors de la substitution électrophile des phénols

In the bromodesulfonation of sodium 2, 6-dibromophenol-4-sulfonate (I) and similar compounds, the relatively stable quinoloid intermediate II exchanges its carbonyl oxygen with that of H₂¹⁸O by an addition-elimination process. The exchange is slower than the formation of the product III; it is roughly comparable to the exchange velocity of quinones of similar structure. By reversibility of the electrophilic additon step, ¹⁸O is incorporated into the starting phenol I. In electrophilic substitutions with shorter life-time of the quinoloid intermediate, the oxygen exchange is difficult or impossible to observe.     

Effets cinetiques de sels lors de la methanolyse de l'acetate de phenyle par catalyse basique en milieu methanolique: Etude perturbationnelle des effets de sels lors de l'hydrolyse ou de la méthanolyse d'esters aliphatiques ou aromatiques

Methanolysis of phenyl acetate shows a slight rate increase in the presence of NaClO₄ or NaBr or a rather large rate decrease in the presence of LiClO₄ or LiBr. These results are different from those obtained for alkaline hydrolysis of an aliphatic ester. They are interpreted in terms of a frontier orbital controlled reaction. For aliphatic esters, complexation phenomena

is predominant; for aromatic esters, due to a stabilisation of the π^* CO orbital energy level, two opposite effects are possible:

complexation inducing a rate increase, and association of the nucleophile HO^- or CH₃O^- with M⁺ leading to a rate decrease. The relative importance of these two opposite effects depends on the nature of the ester.     

L'extraction des lanthanides et des actinides par les oxydes d'alkylphosphine: Tome 1. l'extraction de l'acide nitrique par l'oxyde de tri-n-butylphosphine

The distribution of TBPO, water and nitric acid has been measured between an aqueous phase and various inert diluents at 25°. This study allowed the determination of the apparent stability constants for two molecular complexes, TBPO . HNO₃ (K₁=17.5±1.3 (M/l)^-2 (benzene); 20.1±0.8 (M/l)^-2 (toluene); II±2(M/l)^-2 (n-hexane) and TBPO . 2HNO₃.H₂O (K₂=(2.9±0.3) 10^-3(M/l)^-2 (benzene)).     

Influence des conditions experimentales du depot de SiC par RCVD sur l'infiltration de substrats de carbone poreux

The infiltration by SiC of porous substrates of carbon or graphite powders by reaction between the substrate and an SiCl₄-H₂ gaseous mixture has been studied by the reactive chemical vapor deposition (RCVD) method as a function of temperature gaseous mixture composition and total flow rate. β-SiC has been characterised using ESCA spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and chemical analysis with MASE spectroscopy. The silicon carbide is present throughout the sample. The growth rate of the SiC layer is very slow and the activation energy of the process is evaluated at 168 kJ mol⁻¹. High temperatures (1430 °C) and flow rates (950 cm³ min⁻¹) promote the deposition on the surface of the sample and the correct orientation of the crystals. The presence of whiskers has also been detected in the pores of the substrates.     

Thermal and state-selected rate constant calculations for O(3p) + H2 → OH + H and isotopic analogs

We present a new parametrization (based on ab initio calculations) of the bending potentials for the two lowest potential energy surfaces of the reaction O(³P) + H₂, and we use it for rate constant calculations by variational transition-state theory with multidimensional semiclassical tunneling corrections. We present results for the temperature range 250–2400 K for both the rate constants and the intermolecular kinetic isotope effects for the reactions of O(³P) with D₂ and HD. In general, the calculated rate constants for the thermal reactions are in excellent agreement with available experiments. We also calculate the enhancement effect for exciting H₂ to the first excited vibrational state. The calculations also provide information on which aspects of the potential energy surfaces are important for determining the predicted rate constants.     

Étude des spectres infrarouges de divers dialcoyl-diméthoxy-stannanes

The infrared absorption spectra of some dialkyldimethoxystannanes have been investigated in the 400–1500 cm^?1 region.
