Thermische Zersetzung und Lösungskalorimetrie von Ammoniumsamariumbromiden

Thermal Decomposition and Solution Calorimetry of Ammonium Samarium Bromides The ternary pure phases on the line SmBr₃—NH₄Br in the thermodynamically equilibrium have been synthesized by solid state reactions and characterized by X‐ray powderdiffraction. The existence of a new phase (NH₄)₃SmBr₆ was demonstrated beside the known phases (NH₄)₂SmBr₅ and NH₄Sm₂Br₇. The decomposition equilibria of the ammonium samarium bromides have been investigated by total pressure measurements and the thermodynamical data of the solid phase complexes derived from the decompostion functions. The standard enthalpies of solution in 4n HBr (aq.) of the ternary phases, SmBr₃ and Sm₂O₃, were measured and on the basis of these values and known data the standard enthalpies of ammonium samarium bromides were derived. The phase diagram is constructed on the basis of DTA measurements. Data from total pressure measurements: ΔH((NH₄)₃SmBr_{6, f, 298}) = —400, 0 ± 6, 5 kcal/mol S°((NH₄)₃SmBr_{6, f, 298}) = 146, 9 ± 8 cal/K · mol ΔH((NH₄)₂SmBr_{5, f, 298}) = —340, 6 ± 5, 0 kcal/mol S°((NH₄)₂SmBr_{5, f, 298}) = 106, 0 ± 6 cal/K · mol Δ(NH₄Sm₂Br_{7, f, 298}) = —479, 4 ± 6, 0 kcal/mol S°(NH₄Sm₂Br_{7, f, 298}) = 119, 5 ± 7 cal/K · mol Data from solution calorimetry: ΔH(SmBr_{3, f, 298}) = —204, 4 ± 1, 8 kcal/mol ΔH((NH₄)₃SmBr_{6, f, 298}) = —400, 7 ± 3, 2 kcal/mol ΔH((NH₄)₂SmBr_{5, f, 298}) = —339, 6 ± 2, 6 kcal/mol ΔH(NH₄Sm₂Br_{7, f, 298}) = —475, 6 ± 4, 4 kcal/mol     

Beiträge zum thermischen Verhalten von Sulfaten. VIII. Zum chemischen Transport von FeSO4 mit NH4Cl und von von Fe2(SO4)3 mit Cl2 oder NH4Cl. Experimente und Modellrechnungen

Contributions on the Thermal Behaviour of Sulfates. VIII. The Chemical Vapour Transport of FeSO₄ with NH₄Cl and Fe₂(SO₄)₃ with Cl₂ or NH₄Cl. Experiments and Calculations Well shaped crystals of FeSO₄ and Fe₂(SO₄)₃ can be grown by CVT (T₁? 650°C). We investigated the dependence of the transport rate on the concentration of the transport agent (Fe₂(SO₄)₃/Cl₂ and Fe₂(SO₄)₃/NH₄Cl) as well as on the temperature (FeSO₄/NH₄Cl and Fe₂(SO₄)₃/Cl₂). Using Δ_fH(FeSO₄) = ?220 kcal/ mol, C^p(T) = 30.1 + 9.9 · 10^?3 ×T and Δ_fH(Fe₂(SO₄)₃) = ?615.4 kcal/mol a satisfying agreement between thermodynamical calculations and experimental results can be reached     

CsCu4S3 und CsCu3S2: Sulfide mit tetraedrisch und linear koordiniertem Kupfer

Thermodynamics of the System Si? Cl? H By static and dynamic methods the equilibria 4SiHCl₃,g = 3SiHCl₄,g + Si,s + 2H₂,g (1) between 800 and 1140 K and SiCl₄,g + H₂,g = SiHCl₃,g + HCl,g (2) between 1170 and 1450 K were investigated. The expression for the temperature dependence of the equilibria were found to be lg Kp [Torr] = (5.688–1520/T) ± 0.32 (1) and lg Kp = (1.38/3250/T) ± 0.16 (2). The values measured for reaction pressures and equilibrium constants lead to the conclusion, that the difference of enthalpies of formation of SiCl₄ and SiHCl₃ found in literature is nessecarily to be corrected by 5–6 kcal/mole. With ΔH(SiCl₄,g) = ?157.1 kcal/mole the equilibrium measurements lead to the enthalpy of formation for SiHCl₃,g of ΔH(SiHCl₃,g) = ?118.2 kcal/mole.     

Decomposition of methylamino and aminomethyl radicals. The heats of formation of methyleneimine (CH2NH) and hydrazyl (N2H3) radical

A kinetic analysis of the thermal decomposition of methylamino and aminomethyl radicals into methyleneimine, reactions (1) and (2): leads to ΔH(CH₂?NH) = 25.0 ± 3 kcal/mol in excellent agreement with ion cyclotron resonance spectroscopy measurements and to a pi bond energy of E_π = 55.0 kcal/mol in CH₂?NH which is comparable but smaller than to the corresponding value in CH₂?CH₂ (63.7 kcal/mol). Assuming that E_π(CH₂?NH) = 0.5 [E_π(CH₂?CH₂) + E_π(NH?NH)] then requires that E_π(NH?NH) = 46.8 kcal/mol in diimine and BDE(N₂H₃-H) = 87.5 kcal/mol i.e. about 11.5 kcal/mol larger than current data for hydrazine but otherwise consistent with additional evidence. The entropy and heat capacity of methyleneimine, calculated from recent infrared and microwave spectroscopic data using the rigid rotor harmonic oscillator approximation, are also reported.

In NH₄PO₂(NH₂)₂ the anions [PO₂(NH₂)₂]^? are linked to chains by N? H …? N and N? H …? O bridge bonds. The ammonium ions are located between these chains and are donors for N? H …? O bridge bonds which connect the chains three-dimensionally.     

Kinetic studies of the reactions CH2I2 + HI⇄CH3I + I2 and 2 CH3I⇄CH4 + CH2I2 the heat of formation of the iodomethyl radical

The rate of the reaction CH₂I₂ + HI ? CH₃I + I₂ has been followed spectrophotometrically from 201.0 to 311.2°. The rate constant for the reaction fits the equation, log (k₁/M^?1 sec^?1) = 11.45 ± 0.18 - (15.11 ± 0.44)/θ. This value, combined with the assumption that E₂ = 0 ± 1 kcal/mole, leads to ΔH (CH₂I, g) = 55.0 ± 1.6 kcal/mole and DH (H? CH₂I) = 103.8 ± 1.6 kcal/mole. The kinetics of the disproportionation, 2 CH₃I ? CH₄ + CH₂I₂ were studied at 331° and are compatible with the above values.

Na2Mn(NH2)4: Ein neuer Schichtenstrukturtyp

Na₂Mn(NH₂)₄: A New Type of Layered Structure The structure of Na₂Mn(NH₂)₄ was solved by X-ray single crystal data including H-positions: P2₁/c, Z = 4, a = 6.331(1) Å, b = 14.542(3) Å, c = 7.212(1) Å, β = 116.29(1)°, Z(F ≥ 3σ = (F)) = 1343, Z(parameters) = 96, R/R_W = 0.023/0.029.

Thermal decomposition of benzotrifluoride. The C?C bond strength and the heat of formation of the phenyl radical

The kinetics of the decomposition of benzotrifluoride was studied from 720°c to 859°c in a flow system with and without carrier gas. Consideration of the product distribution made possible the study of the decomposition into CF₃ and C₆H₅ radicals, which appeared to be truly homogeneous in character. The first-order rate constant of the C? C bond fission, log k (sec^?1) = (17.9 ± 0.5) (99.7 ± 2.5)/θ, did not change with change of initial concentration, pressure of the carrier gas, or contact time. The Arrhenius parameters have been related to the appropriate thermodynamic data. Assumption of 0 kcal/mole for the activation energy of the reverse combination reaction yielded DH(C₆H₅? CF₃) = 103.6 ± 2.5 kcal/mole and ΔH(C₆H₅) = 77.1 ± 3.0 kcal/mole. Applicability of the simple first-order formula to calculation of the rate constant has been also dealt with.     

Kinetics of the gas-phase reaction of cyclopropylcarbinyl iodide and hydrogen iodide. Heat of formation and stabilization energy of the cyclopropylcarbinyl radical

The rate of the gas phase reaction has been measured spectrophotometrically over the range 480°–550°K. The rate constant fits the equation where θ = 2.303RT in kcal/mole. This result, together with the assumption that the activation energy for the back reaction is 0 ± 1 kcal/mole, allows calculation of DH (Δ? CH₂? H) = 97.4 ± 1.6 kcal/mole and ΔH (Δ? CH₂·) = 51.1 ± 1.6 kcal/mole. These values correspond to a stabilization energy of 0.4 ± 1.6 kcal/mole in the cyclopropylcarbinyl radical.     

The rate of the gas phase iodination of cyclobutane. The heat of formation of the cyclobutyl radical

The gas phase iodination of cyclobutane was studied spectrophotometrically in a static system over the temperature range 589° to 662°K. The early stage of the reaction was found to correspond to the general mechanism where the Arrenius parameters describing k₁ are given by log k₁/M^?1 sec^?1 = 11.66 ± 0.11 – 26.83 ± .31/θ, θ = 2.303RT in kcal/mole. The measured value of E₁, together with the fact that E_?1 = 1 ± 1 kcal/mole, provides ΔH(c-C₄H_7.) = 51.14 ± 1.0 kcal/mole, and the corresponding bond dissociation energy, D(c-C₄H₇? H) = 96.8 ± 1.0 kcal/mole. A bond dissociation energy of 1.8 kcal/mole higher than that for a normal secondary C? H bond corresponds to one half of the extra strain energy in cyclobutene compared to cyclobutane and is in excellent agreement with the recent value of Whittle, determined in a completely different system. Estimates of ΔH and entropy of cyclobutyl iodide are in very good agreement with the equilibrium constant K₁₂ deduced from the kinetic data. Also in good agreement with estimates of Arrhenius parameters is the rate of HI elimination from cyclobutyl iodide.

Iodine catalyzed pyrolysis of dimethyl sulfide. Heats of formation of CH3SCH2I,the CH3SCH2 radical,and the pibond energy in CH2S

A kinetic study has been made of the gas phase, I₂-catalyzed decomposition of (CH₃)₂S at 630–650 K. Some I₂ is consumed initially, reaching a steady-state concentration. The initial major products are CH₄ and CH₂S together with small amounts of CH₃SCH₂I, CH₃I, HI, and CS₂. The initial reaction corresponds to a pseudo-equilibrium: accompanied by: and which brings (I₂) into steady state and a final complex reaction: From the initial rate of I₂ loss it is possible to obtain Arrhenius parameters for the iodination: We measure k₁, (644 K) = 150 L/mol s and from both the Arrhenius plot and independent estimates A₁ (644 K) = 10^{11.2 ± 0.3} L/mol s. Thus, E₁ = 26.7 ± 1 kcal/mol. From the steady-state I₂ concentration, an assumed mechanism and the known rate parameters for the CH₃I/HI system. It is possible to deduce K_A (644) = 3.8 × 10^?2 with an uncertainty of a factor of 2. Using an estimated ΔS (644) = 4.2 ± 1.0 e.u. we find ΔH_A (644) = 7.0 ± 1.1 kcal. With 〈ΔC_PA〉644 = 1.2 this becomes: ΔH_A(298) = 6.6 ± 1.1 kcal/mol. Then ΔH (CH₃SCH₂I) = 6.3 ± 1 kcal/mol. Making the assumption that E_?1 = 1.0 ± 0.5 kcal/mol we find ΔH (644) = 25.7 ± 0.7 kcal/mol and with 〈ΔC_PI〉 = 1.2; ΔH = 25.3 ± 0.8 kcal/mol. This gives ΔH (CH₃S?H₂) = 35.6 ± 1.0 kcal/mol and DH (CH₃SCH₂? H) = 96.6 ± 1.0 kcal/mol. This then yields E_π(CH₂S) = 52 ± 3 kcal. From the observed rate of pressure increase in the system and the preceding data k₃, is calculated for the step CH₃SCH₂ → CH₃ + CH₂S. From an estimated A-factor E₃ is deduced and from the overall thermochemistry values for k_?3 and E_?3. A detailed mechanism is proposed for the I-atom catalyzed conversion of CH₂S to CS₂ + CH₄.

The structure was determined from X-ray singlecrystal diffractometer data: Space group, P1 , Z = 1, a = 9.462(2) Å, b = 9.727(2) Å, c = 11.232(2) Å, α = 66.22(3)°, β = 85.78(3)°, γ = 61.83(3)°, R₁ (F ? 4σF) = 5.13%, wR₂ (F₀² ? 4σF) = 10.5%, N(F ? 4σF) = 779, N(Var.) = 163. The compound contains to Sb₂Ph₄ isosteric centres [Sn₂Ph₄]^2? as anions which are connected to rods by lithium cations in distorted tetrahedral coordination by ammonia. These rods are arranged parallel to one another in the b,c-plane, but stacked along [100].     

Very low-pressure pyrolysis (VLPP) of alkyl cyanides. II. n-propyl cyanide and isobutyl cyanide. The heat of formation and stabilization energy of the cyanomethyl radical

The very low-pressure pyrolysis (VLPP) technique has been used to study the pyrolysis of n-propyl cyanide over the temperature range of 1090–1250°K. Decomposition proceeds via two pathways, C₂? C₃ bond fission and C₃? C₄ bond fission, with the former accounting for >90% of the overall decomposition. Application of unimolecular reaction rate theory shows that the experimental unimolecular rate constants for C₂? C₃ fission are consistent with the high-pressure Arrhenius parameters given by where θ=2.303RT kcal/mole. The activation energy leads to DH₂₉₈⁰[C₂H₅? CH₂CN]=76.9±1.7 kcal/mole and ΔH(?H₂CN, g)=58.5±2.2 kcal/mole. The stabilization energy of the cyanomethyl radical has been found to be 5.1±2.6 kcal/mole, which is the same as the value for the α-cyanoethyl radical. This result suggests that DH[CH₂(CN)? H] ～ 93 kcal/mole, which is considerably higher than previously reported. The value obtained for ΔH_?⁰(?H₂CN) should be usable for prediction of the activation energy for C₂? C₃ fission in primary alkyl cyanides, and this has been confirmed by a study of the VLPP of isobutyl cyanide over the temperature range of 1011–1123°K. The decomposition reactions parallel those for n-propyl cyanide, and the experimental data for C₂? C₃ fission are compatible with the Arrhenius expression A significant finding of this work is that HCN elimination from either compound is practically nonexistent under the experimental conditions. Decomposition of the radical, CH₃CHCH₂CN, generated by C₃? C₄ fission in isobutyl cyanide, yields vinyl cyanide and not the expected product, crotonitrile. This may be explained by a radical isomerization involving either a 1,2-CN shift or a 1,2-H shift.     

The heats of formation of NO3− and NO3− association complexes with HNO3 and HBr

The equilibrium constant for the reaction has been determined between 331 and 480°K using a variable-temperature flowing afterglow. These data give ΔH°(1) = -1.03 ± 0.21 kcal/mol and ΔS°(1) = —4.6 ± 1.0 cal/mol°K. When combined with the known thermochemical values for HBr, Br^?, and HNO₃, this yields ΔH(NO₃^?) = -74.81 ± 0.54 kcal/mol and S(NO₃^?) = 59.4 cal/mol·°K. In addition ΔH_n-1,n and ΔS_n-1,nfor the gas-phase reactions were determined for n = 2 and 3. The implications of these measurements to gas-phase negative ion chemistry are discussed.     

Stereoregularity of poly(methyl α-chloroacrylate)

Triad and tetrad tacticities of poly(methyl α-chloroacrylate) and poly(methyl α-chloroacrylate-β-d₁) were determined by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Methyl α-chloroacrylate-β-d₁ and its polymer were first synthesized. Isotactic poly(methyl α-chloroacrylate) was prepared with ethylmagnesium chloride-benzal-acetophenone in combination as catalyst. The syndiotacticity of radically polymerized polymers increased with decreasing polymerization temperature. For radical polymerization, enthalpy and entropy differences between isotactic and syndiotactic additions were calculated to give ΔH ? ΔH = 850 cal/mole and ΔS ? ΔS = 0.93 eu. The stereoregularity of the polymer prepared with phenylmagnesium bromide catalyst was analyzed in fairly good agreement with first-order Markov statistics, while polymerization with fluorenyllithium seems predominantly to proceed by a mechanism similar to free-radical mechanism. Stereoregularity-controlling power for individual substituents is briefly discussed.
