Comparison of chemisorption and hydrogenolysis of ethane on transition metals

Data on chemisorption of ethane on transition metal blacks have been correlated with hydrogenolysis activity measurements. On Pt and Pd the rupture of the C–C bond seems to be a hindered process. Desorption of methane requires larger activation on Co and Ni than on Ru, Rh or or Ir blacks.

Study of the interaction between ionic salts and water by high-resolution calorimetry

The construction, the isothermal operation (26.2±0.06) and the calibration of a differential calorimeter of high performance are described. Its construction is based on the conduction principle by using copper resistors noninductively coiled on thin aluminium cylinders used as temperature sensors with very low inertia. Thermal flows are measured by using an ac bridge with a lock-in amplifier. The calibration, both of the height (h) and of the area (A) of the recorded peaks, is performed by using calibrated heat pulsesw _p with errors under 0.5%. A reproducible value of ratioh/A is obtained on a large number ofw _p values, which represents a figure of merit of the high-performance calorimeter. This value is an immediate index of the nature of the general transformation process. For a clear-cut definition of the process, the universal procedure recently established on the topoenergetic principles is applied.

Zusammenfassung Konstruktion, isotherme Betriebsweise (26.2±0.06 °C) und Kalibration eines differentiellen Kalorimeters hoher Leistungsfähigkeit werden beschrieben. Die Konstruktion basiert auf dem Leitfähigkeitsprinzip, wobei Kupferwiderstände benutzt werden, die auf als Temperaturfühler mit sehr geringer Trägheit dienenden Aluminiumzylindern aufgewickelt sind. Zur Messung des Wärmeflusses wird eine Wechselstrombrücke mit einem lock-in Verstärker verwendet. Die Kalibration der Berghöhe (h) und der Bergfläche (A) wird mit kalibrierten Wärmeimpulsenw _p ausgeführt, die mit Fehlern unter 0.5% behaftet sind. Der Wert des Verhältnissesh/A wird für eine große Zahl vonw _p -Werten reproduzierbar erhalten, was die Vorzüge des Hochleistungskalorimeters deutlich macht. Dieser Wert ist eine unmittelbare Kenngröße für die Natur des allgemeinen Umwandlungsprozesses. Das kürzlich entwickelte, auf dem topoenergetischen Prinzip beruhende universelle Verfahren wird zur klaren Definition des Prozesses herangezogen.

Seven Nepeta species contained caryophyllene oxide as the main constituent in their essential oils. 1,8-Cineole/linalool were the major components in the essential oils of six species. -Pinene,-terpineol,germacrene-D,and spathulenol were the main constituents in the essential oils fromN. phyllochlamys, N. viscida, N. sorgerae, andN. trachonitica, respectively.     

Mass spectrometric study of monoalkyl-substituted thiacyclanes

Monosubstituted - and -alkylthiophans and -, -, and -alkylthiacyclohexanes were subjected to a comparative mass spectrometric study. The stability of the M⁺ ion increases on passing from - to -alkylthiophans and from - to - and -alkylthiacyclohexanes. In the case of -alkylthiophans and - and -alkylthia-cyclohexanes the principal process is associated with ejection of the substituent as a whole, whereas a portion of the alkyl substituent, with retention of one CH₂ group in the composition of the charged fragment, is eliminated from the molecular ions of -alkylthiophans and -alkylthiacyclohexanes.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 2, pp. 176–181, February, 1978.

Negativer linearer thermischer Ausdehnungskoeffizient von verstrecktem Polyäthylen

Zusammenfassung Der lineare thermische Ausdehnungskoeffizient von linearem Polyäthylen hoher Dichte wurde im Temperaturbereich –20 °C bis + 40°C bestimmt. Bei isotropen Proben besteht eine lineare Beziehung zwischen Dichte bzw. Kristallisationsgrad _v und. Die gemessenen Koeffizienten liegen fürT ₀ = 20 °C im Bereich = 110 ... 130 · 10^–6 K^–1.Kalt verstreckte Proben mit Verstreckungsgraden = 8 ... 15 haben beiT ₀ = 20 °C in Verstreckrichtung den Koeffizienten _l = –24 · 10^–6 K^–1. Der negative Zahlenwert von _tl ist unabhängig von und weiteren Herstellungsparametern. Seine Ursache ist einerseits die Orientierung derc-Achsen der Kristallite in Verstreckrichtung mit _c = –12 · 10^–6 K^–1 und andererseits der negative Koeffizient _am * –50 · 10^–6 K^–1 der verspannten amorphen Phase, der auf dem gummielastischen Verhalten der tie-molecules beruht.Beim Tempern oberhalb von +40 °C schrumpfen die Proben irreversibel, wobei _| ansteigt und nach dem Aufschmelzen der Proben wieder den Wert des isotropen Materials annimmt. Nach dem Tempern wenig unterhalb der Schmelztemperatur der Kristallite wurden überhöhte Koeffizienten _| gemessen, die eine Rotation der Kristallite um dieb-Achsen erkennen lassen.

Summary The linear thermal coefficient of expansion,, of high density linear polyethylene has been determined in the temperature range of –20 ° ... + 40 °C. For isotropic samples a linear relationship between density or crystallinity _v and is valid. Measured values of forT ₀ = 20 °C amount to = 110 ... 130 · 10^–6 K^–1.Cold drawn samples of draw ratios = 8 ... 15 yield _| = –24 · 10^–6 K^–1 atT ₀ = 20 °C parallel to the draw axis. The negative value of _| does not depend on draw ratio or other parameters of sample processing. It is caused byc-axis orientation of the crystallites in draw direction with _c = –12 · 10^–6 K^–1 and by a negative coefficient _am * = –50 · 10^–6 K^–1 of the stressed amorphous phase, which is due to rubber elastic behaviour of the tie molecules.When annealed above 40 °C the samples shrink irreversibly and _| is augmented. After melting the samples the value of isotropic material is restored. Annealing the samples little below the melting temperature of the crystallites leads to superelevated values all which reflect| rotation of the crystallites around theb-axis.

The determination of quartz in clay materials

The quartz contents (maximum, 4 wt.%) of four clay materials and a tourmaline were determined by differential thermal analysis, by X-ray diffraction and by chemical analysis. The results are used to make a critical comparison of these three methods. DTA gives a better precision than X-ray diffraction analysis. The chemical method is judged unreliable in that feldspar and mica, present as minor components, are recorded in part as quartz.

Zusammenfassung Der Quarzgehalt (max. 4%) von vier Tonmineralien und von Turmalin wurde durch Differentialthermoanalyse, Röntgendiffraktion und chemische Analyse bestimmt. Die Ergebnisse ermöglichten einen kritischen Vergleich der drei Methoden. Die DTA ist genauer als die Röntgendiffraktion. Die Chemische Analyse ist unzuverläßlich, da kleinere Mengen an Feldspat und Glimmer ebenfalls teilweise als Quarz erfaßt werden.

Résumé On a déterminé la teneur en quartz (4% en poids au maximum) de quatre argiles et d'une tourmaline en se servant de l'analyse thermique différentielle, de la diffraction de rayons X et de l'analyse chimique. On a utilisé les résultats pour faire une étude critique des trois méthodes. L'ATD donne une meilleure précision que l'analyse par diffraction X. L'analyse chimique présente peu de sûreté car le feldspath et le mica, présents à l'état de constituants mineurs, interviennent en partie comme le quartz.

LLX separation of carrier-free,94,95,97,103Ru,93,94,95,96,99mTc and95,96Nb produced in alpha-particle activated molybdenum by TOA

A radiochemical charged particle activation procedure for the simultaneous production of carrier-free radioisotopes of more than one element in a single target and their subsequent separation through LLX has been demonstrated. The carrier free isotopes,^95,96Nb,^{93,94,95,96,99m}Tc and^94,95,97,103Ru formed through Mo(,pxn), Mo(,pxn) and Mo(,xn) nuclear reactions with 40 MeV -particle as detected by nondestructive -ray spectroscopy, have been effectively separated through LLX using TOA as an anionic extractant. Separation of the bulk matrix of molybdenum from the carrier free products has been monitored radiometrically using isotopic^93,99mMo formed through the Mo(,xn) reaction, as radioindicators for the target element. Purity of the separated carrier free radionuclide has been verified by -ray spectrometry.

The identification of small amounts of sugars by means of X-ray diffraction patterns

Summary The identification of small amounts of sugars by their X-ray powder diagrams is suggested as a most simple and practical method in routine analysis.It is especially valuable in working with minute amounts of material, and has proved very useful for the final identification of chromatographically-separated sugars.The characteristics of the powder diagrams of a number of monosaccharides of special interest to the physiological chemist are reported in detail. The substances thus investigated are- and-D-glucose and-glucose monohydrate,- and-D-galactose,- and-D-mannose,D-fructose,D-glucuronolactone,- and-D-glucosamine hydrochloride,- and-D-galactosamine (chondrosamine) hydrochloride,-L-fucose, andD-ribose. For various reasons arabinose, lyxose, and xylose have also been included.It is clear from the powder diagrams of the galactoses that the crystalstructure earlier ascribed to-galactose is that of-galactose.A single-crystal study of-glucosamine hydrochloride was carried out by theWeissenberg technique. The crystal-dimensions obtained agree with those earlier found byCox et al^{5, 7}.The optical rotation of chondrosamine hydrochloride was found to be [] _D ^20° = - 135° - 93° - 39°, the first value being considerably higher than that given for the-form byLevene. A method for the preparation of-mannose is described.

Zusammenfassung Die Identifizierung kleiner Mengen verschiedener Zuckerarten mit Hilfe ihrer Röntgen-Pulverdiagramme wird als einfache und praktische Routinemethode vorgeschlagen.Diese Methode ist besonders wertvoll, wenn nur kleine Substanzmengen zur Verfügung stehen, und hat sich für die endgültige Identifizierung von chromatographisch getrennten Zuckern als sehr geeignet erwiesen.Die Einzelheiten der Pulverdiagramme folgender physiologisch-chemisch bedeutungsvoller Monosaccharide werden mitgeteilt:- und-D-Glukose und Glukosehydrat,- und-D-Galaktose,- und-D-Mannose,D-Fruktose,D-Glukuronolakton,- und-D-Glukosaminhydrochlorid,- und-D-Galaktosamin-(Chondrosamin)-hydrochlorid,-L-Fukose, dieD-Pentosen Arabinose, Lyxose, Ribose und Xylose.Aus den Pulverdiagrammen der Galaktosen geht deutlich hervor, daß die Krystallstruktur, die früher der-Galaktose zugeschrieben wurde, tatsächlich diejenige der-Form ist.Die Untersuchung eines Einzelkristalles von-Glukosaminhydrochlorid wurde nach derWeissenberg-Technik ausgeführt. Die erhaltenen Werte stimmen mit den früher vonCox und Mitarbeitern gefundenen überein.Die optische Drehung des Chondrosaminhydrochlorids wurde zu [] _D ^20° = + 135° + 93° + 39° gefunden. Der erstgenannte Wert ist größer als der entsprechende, vonLevene angegebene Drehungswert.Eine Methode zur Darstellung von-Mannose wird beschrieben.

Résumé On propose une méthode de routine simple et pratique pour l'identification de petites quantités de divers sucres au moyen de leur diagramme de poudres aux rayons X. Cette méthode est particulièrement précieuse quand on n'a que de petites quantités de matière à sa disposition et elle s'est montrée très convenable pour l'identification finale de sucres séparés par chromatographie. Des particularités des diagrammes de poudres des monosaccharides suivants intéressent le chimiste physiologiste: et-D-glucose et hydrate de glucose, et-D-galactose, et-D-mannose, D-fructose,D-glucuronolactone, chlorhydrate d' et-D-glucosamine, chlorhydrate d' et-D-galactosamine (chondrosamine), l'-L-fucose, lesD-pentoses, l'arabinose, le lyxose, le ribose, le xylose. Des diagrammes de poudres des galactoses découle clairement le fait que la structure cristalline qui fut attribuée précédemment à l'-galactose est celle de la forme. L'expérience sur un cristal unique de chlorhydrate d'-glucosamine a été effectuée d'après la technique deWeissenberg. Les valeurs obtenues concordent avec celles trouvées précédemment parCox et ses collaborateurs. Le pouvoir rotatoire du chlorhydrate de chondrosamine a été trouvé égal à _D ²⁰ = + 135° + 93° + 39°. La première valeur est plus grande que celle donnée parLevene. On décrit une préparation de l'-mannose.

Thermogravimetric and kinetic study of a clodronic acid complex formed with sodium

Thermal stability of the clodronic acid complex formed with sodium (Na₂CCl₂(HPO₃)₂ ·4H₂O) was studied using both dynamic and isothermal thermogravimetric analyses as well as mass spectra. The thermal decomposition has two stages: dehydration and loss of two molecules of hydrogen chloride. Using the isothermal TG data the first step was found to be a phase-boundary reaction while the second step obviously cannot be described with just one reaction mechanism. The final residue of the dynamic TG analyses above 810 K was found to be sodium metaphosphate.

Zusammenfassung Sowohl mittels dynamischer und thermogravimetrischer Untersuchungen als auch and Hand von Massenspektren wurde die thermische Stabilität des mit Natrium gebildeten Säurekomplexes Na₂CCl₂(HPO₃)₂·4H₂O untersucht. Die thermische Zersetzung vollzieht sich in zwei Schritten: Dehydratation und Verlust von zwei Molekülen HCl. Auf Grund der isothermen TG Angaben ist der erste Schritt eine Phasengrenzreaktion, während der zweite Schritt mit einem einzigen Reaktionsmechanismus nicht eindeutig beschrieben werden kann. Das Endprodukt der DTG Analyse oberhalb 810 K erwies sich als Natriummethaphosphat.
