Some peculiarities in ESR spectra of titanium complexes in catalysts for isoprene polymerization in excess A1R3

It has been established that at low temperatures of TiCl₄+AOC catalyst preparation in solution (with Ti/Al1/15), ESR spectra exhibit rhombic anisotropy of the g-factor. Experiments with the sample having 61 % concentration of⁴⁷Ti isotopes suggest the formation of associates of Ti³⁺ with magnetic ordering, apparently due to the Jahn-Teller cooperative effect.

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.

A model of reaction front propagation in crystals

A spatio-temporal model of anisotropic propagation of the dehydration front in Na₃P₃O₉ · 6H₂O single-crystals is discussed. It is based on the assumption that dehydration proceeds as a periodic displacement of the reaction front from one reacting elementary block to another, and that experimentally fixed dehydration patterns are composed of a multitude of elementary patterns having the same shape. The model can be applied to other crystals.

Zusammenfassung Ein Zeit- und Raummodell der anisotropischen Fortschreitung der Dehydratationsgrenzfläche in Na₃P₃O₉ · 6H₂O Einkristallen wird diskutiert. Das Modell ist auf einer Annahme begründet, dass die Wasserabspaltung als eine periodische Propagation der Reaktionsgrenzfläche von einem reagierendem Elementarblock zu anderem verläuft und dass die experimentell fixierte Entwässerungsfiguren aus einer Menge von Elementarfiguren von identischer Form zusammengestellt sind. Das Modell kann auf andere Kristallen verbreitet werden.

Effect of free phosphine on the reactivity of phosphine-containing rhodium(I) complexes

The photolysis products of SO₂-pentane-NO mixtures are N₂O, H₂O and a compound designated as RNO. Kinetic data obtained by OC method confirm the previously proposed scheme of photolysis. Also studied was the photolysis of SO₂, NO and cyclohexane mixtures. From comparison of spectral characteristics of RNO and its analog 2-methyl-2-nitrosopropane, the probable structure of RNO is suggested.

Comparative study of single-crystal dehydration of LiCOOH.H2O and Li2SO4·H2O

The kinetics of isothermal dehydration of two crystal hydrates with equivalent water molecule sublattices (LiCOOH.H₂O and LiSO₄.H₂O) was investigated in vacuum with a quartz crystal microbalance, and the dynamics of structural reorganization of the substances was studied by the synchrotron radiation method. Differences were found both in the nucleation stage and in the stage of reaction interface advance. The results indicate that the kinetic behaviour of isothermal decomposition of solids is determined by the structural reorganization of a metastable intermediate.

Studies of n-octane transformations on zeolites under hydrocracking conditions in a two-reactor flow-circulation system

Transformations of n-octane under hydrocracking conditions in a two-reactor flow-circulation system have been studied. It has been established that at high hydro-dehydrogenation activity of zeolite catalysts the reaction mechanism involves an initial step of paraffin dehydrogenation on a metal component and subsequent steps of cracking, isomerization and disproportionation of intermediate olefins on an acid component. Sodium content in zeolite determines the paraffin hydrocracking selectivity.

Effect of bromination on the thermal properties of poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide)

The thermal behavior of poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenyiene oxide) (PPO R resin), poly(3-bromo-2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide), and a series of their statistical copolymers with identical average molecular lengths has been characterized by thermogravimetry and computer-interfaced differential scanning calorimetry. The heat capacities are found to be additive with respect to the concentrations of the two components. The change in heat capacity at the glass transition ( C _p) is independent of composition for bromination of up to 75% of the repeat units. At higher bromine levels C _p decreases abruptly. This behavior is attributed to the temperature dependence of C _p for the two components. The glass transition temperature (T _g) of the copolymers varies nearly linearly with composition. A comparison of the experimental values ofT _g is made with various equations derived for statistical copolymers and homogeneous polymer blends. A modification of the Couchman equation is presented taking into account the temperature dependence ofC _p.

Zusammenfassung Das thermische Verhalten von Poly(2.6-dimethyl-1.4-phenylenoxyd) (PPO R-Harz), Poly(3-brom-2.6-dimethyl-1.4-phenylenoxyd) und einer Reihe von statistischen Copolymeren dieser Verbindungen mit gleicher durchschnittlicher Moleküllänge wurde durch Thermogravimetrie und Differential-Scanning-Kalorimetrie mit Computerinterface charakterisiert. Die Wärmekapazitäten sind hinsichtlich der Konzentrationen der beiden Komponenten additiv. Die Veränderung in der Wärmekapazität beim Übergang zum Glas (C_p) ist unabhängig von der Zusammensetzung bei Bromierung bis zu 75% der wiederho-lungseinheiten. Bei höheren Bromierungsgraden nimmtC _p abrupt ab. Dieses Verhalten wird der Temperaturabhängigkeit vonC _p der beiden Komponenten zugeschrieben. Die Glasübergangstemperatur (T_g) der Copolymeren verändert sich nahezu linear mit der Zusammensetzung. Ein Vergleich der experimentellen Werte von T_g wird mit verschiedenen für statistische Copolymere und Mischungen homogener Polymere abgeleiteten Gleichungen ausgeführt. Eine die Temperaturabhängigkeit vonC _p berücksichtigende Modifikation der Gleichung von Couchman wird angegeben.

Thermal decomposition of Y,La and light lanthanide complexes of hippuric acid

The conditions of thermal decomposition of the hippurates of Y, La and the light lanthanides from Ce(III) to Gd have been studied. When heated, the Y, Ce(III), Pr and Gd complexes decomposed in two stages, those of La, Sm and Eu in three stages, and that of Nd in four stages, the oxides finally being formed. The complexes lost crystallization water to form anhydrous (Nd) or hydrated salts, and then decomposed to oxides directly (Y, Ce(III), Pr(III) and Gd) or with intermediate formation of Ln₂O₂CO₃ (La, Nd, Sm and Eu). The temperature of oxide formation varied periodically with the ionic potential in the lanthanide series.

Beim Aufheizen zersetzen sich die Komplexe von Y, Ce(III), Pr und Gd in zwei Schritten, die von Sm und Eu in drei Schritten und der von Nd in vier Schritten zu den Oxiden. Die Komplexe verlieren Kristallwasser unter Bildung wasserfreier (Nd) oder hydratisierter Salze und zersetzen sich dann direkt (Y, Ce(III), Pr(III), Gd) oder über Ln₂O₂CO₃ (Ln, Nd, Sm, Eu) zu den Oxiden. Die Temperatur der Oxidbildung verändert sich periodisch mit abnehmenden Ionenpotential in der Lanthanidenreihe.

Electrocatalytic effect of metal ions on lead and lead dioxide electrode reactions

The electrochemical reactions which take place on lead and lead dioxide electrodes of a lead-acid battery are highly influenced by the presence in the electrolytic solution of ions Cd(II), Ni(II), Zn(II) and Co(II). Current density-potential curves were obtained in this work by using a Pb/Ca alloy. It was observed that Co(II) and Ni(II) ions catalyzed both hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions. On the other hand, Cd(II) and Zn(II) ions decreased the hydrogen evolution rate.

IR spectroscopic studies of adiponitrile and ammonia adsorption over Ti?Sb?O catalyst

Rate constants for the aminolysis of o-(2,4-dinitrophenyl) cyclopentanone oxime with several primary alkylamines, C₂H₅NH₂–C₆H₁₃NH₂ and one secondary arylamine, purrolidine, in 11 water-acetonitrile are reported. With primary amines, base catalysis is absent, while with pyrrolidine saturation catalysis has been observed. Reduction in size of nonconjugated oxime moiety (leaving group), drastically decreases the rates. Thermodynamic parameters for these reactions have also been calculated.
