Thermal decompositions of Y,La and lanthanide 3-hydroxybenzoates in air and nitrogen atmospheres

When heated, the 3-hydroxybenzoates of Y, Sm and Eu(III) decompose in two steps. The hydrates first lose crystallization water and the anhydrous complexes are then transformed to oxides in air, and to mixtures of oxide and C in nitrogen atmosphere. When heated in air, the pentahydrates of La, Pr and Nd are dehydrated in two stages and the anhydrous complexes are then transformed to oxides; when heated in nitrogen, they are dehydrated in one step and then decomposed to mixtures of oxides and C.

Zusammenfassung Die 3-Hydroxybenzoate von Y, Sm und Eu(III) zersetzen sich beim Erhitzen in zwei Schritten. Die Hydrate verlieren zunächst Kristallwasser und die wasserfreien Komplexe werden in Luft in die Oxide und in Stickstoffatmosphäre in ein Gemisch des betreffenden Oxids und Kohlenstoff überführt. Beim Erhitzen in Luft werden die Pentahydrate von La, Pr und Nd in zwei Schritten dehydratisiert und die wasserfreien Komplexe in die Oxide überführt; beim Erhitzen in Stickstoff erfolgt dagegen die Dehydratisierung in nur einem Schritt und Endprodukt der Zersetzung ist ein Gemisch von Kohlenstoff und dem entsprechenden Oxid.

Quantum chemical study of the physical characteristics of the hydroxy groups of zeolites, III

The CNDO/2 method was applied to calculate the electronic structure of HY zeolite using cluster models Si₃AlO₁₂H ₈ ^– and Si₃AlO₁₂H₉. It has been shown that the probability of occurrence of H on a particular type of oxygen as well as the other physical characteristics of zeolite depend on both the type of oxygen and the position of the Al atom.

Thermal decompositions of complexes of metal ions with riboflavin

Two kinds of complexes of riboflavin with Zn(II), Co(II), Cu(II), Fe(III), Mg(II) and Ca(II) were synthesized, having metal: ligand molar ratios of 11 and 21. When heated, these complexes first lose water. Their thermal degradation in static air atmosphere starts at temperatures higher than, equal to, or lower than that observed for free riboflavin degradation. The rates and stages of pyrolysis were related to the structures of the complexes.

Ihre thermische Zersetzung beginnt in unbewegter Luftathmosphäre bei einer Temperatur, die entweder mit der für die Zersetzung freien Riboflavins übereinstimmt, größer oder kleiner als diese ist. Die Abschnitte und Geschwindigkeit der Pyrolyse werden mittels der Struktur der Komplexe erläutert.

Thermal analyses by Derivatograph were made for salts of the general formula M ₂ ^I M^II[Cu(NO₂)₆] where M^I=K⁺, Rb⁺ or Cs⁺; and M^II=Ca²⁺, Sr²⁺, Ba²⁺ or Pb²⁺. From the results and the chemical and diffractometric analysis of sinters of chosen salts, the mechanism of thermal decomposition was established. Some conclusions concerning the effects of outer sphere cations on the thermal stabilities of these salts are also drawn.

Control of purity and crystallinity of MVO4 compounds (M=Al,Cr, Fe,In, Y,Nd) by DTA

Two aqueous methods were followed for the synthesis of MVO₄ (M=trivalent element). The first, with vanadium pentoxide and M nitrate yielded crystalline InVO₄ III and amorphous FeVO₄. The second method, using ammonium metavanadate and M nitrate, led to amorphous compounds with M=In, Fe, Cr or Al, and semi-amorphous compounds with M=Nd or Y. The crystallinity and purity of these products were examined by DTA.Starting with amorphous compounds, two irreversible effects appeared; the first, at about 100°, was endothermic and corresponded to a considerable loss of water; the second was exothermic and corresponded to the crystallization of the compounds in the temperature range from 250 to 550°. Only InVO₄ presented two more irreversible exothermic peaks, corresponding to allotropic transformations, as proved by the X-ray diagrams.A reversible effect then appeared, showing an invariant equilibrium corresponding to a peritectic process for InVO₄ III, FeVO₄, CrVO₄ and AlVO₄ at 1134, 870 and 765°, respectively; these temperatures agreed with the known M₂O₃-V₂O₅ phase diagrams.The DTA curves of the semi-amorphous Nd and Y compounds showed only a loss of water at about 100°; crystallization then occurred gradually during heating; X-ray analysis confirmed these results.

Zusammenfassung MVO₄ (M=dreiwertiges Element) wurde nach zwei Methoden in wässrigem Medium dargestellt. Die erste, bei der von Vanadinpentoxid und dem Nitrat von M ausgegangen wird, ergibt kristallines InVO₄ III und amorphes FeVO₄. Die zweite, von Ammoniummetavanadat und dem Nitrat von M ausgehende Methode ergibt amorphe Produkte für M=In, Fe, Cr oder Al und halbamorphe für M=Nd oder Y. Kristallinität und Reinheit dieser Produkte wurden mittels DTA untersucht. Bei den amorphen Verbindungen treten zwei irreversible Effekte in Erscheinung, nämlich bei etwa 100° ein durch Abgabe einer beträchtlichen Wassermenge bedingter endothermer Effekt und ein exothermer im Temperaturbereich von 250–550°, der der Kristallisation der Verbindungen zuzuschreiben ist. Nur InVO₄ zeigt zwei weitere irreversible exotherme Effekte, die auf allotropische Umwandlungen zurückzuführen sind, wie durch röntgendiffraktometrie gezeigt werden konnte. Danach tritt ein reversibler Effekt ein, der ein invariantes Gleichgewicht eines peritektischen Prozesses für InVO₄ III, FeVO₄, CrVO₄ und AlVO₄ bei 1134, 870, 880 bzw. 765° anzeigt. Diese Temperaturen stimmen mit den bekannten Phasendiagrammen von M₂O₃-V₂O₅ überein. Die DTA-Kurven der halbamorphen Nd- und Y-Verbindung lassen nur den Wasserverlust bei 100° erkennen, die Kristallisation erfolgt dann nach und nach während des Aufheizvorganges, wie dusch Röntgenanalyse gezeigt werden konnte.

Determination of metal dispersity of Pd/SiO2 catalysts by transmission electron microscopy and H2?O2 chemisorption

Dispersity of palladium for a series of Pd/SiO₂ catalysts has been determined by TEM and H₂–O₂ chemisorption. The mean crystallite dimensions obtained by these methods have been compared. Assuming O/Pd_s to be 0.6 for Pd crystallites larger than 9 nm, good agreement has been observed between the results of the two experimental methods.

XPS study of the interaction of simple gases with zeolites containing transition elements

It has been found by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy that, upon interaction of Ni-containing zeolites with CO or with CO+O₂, Ni²⁺ is reduced to Ni⁺ and Ni^o. The ability of Ni to reduction decreases in the following series of polycationic forms: Cr>Co>Ni>Cu. The treatment of CuNiNaY and CoNiNaY zeolites with CO leads to the formation of Cu⁺, Cu^o and Co^o, respectively.
