(Ternary liquid + liquid) equilibria for (water + acetone + α-pinene,or β-pinene,or limonene) mixtures

(Ternary liquid + liquid) equilibria (tie-lines) of (water + acetone + α-pinene) at T = (288.15, 298.15, and 308.15) K and (water + acetone + β-pinene, or limonene) at T = 298.15 K have been measured. The experimental (ternary liquid + liquid) equilibrium data have been correlated successfully by the original UNIQUAC and modified UNIQUAC models. The modified UNIQUAC model reproduced accurately the experimental results for the (water + acetone + α-pinene) system at all the temperatures but fairly agreed with the experimental data for the (water + acetone + β-pinene, or limonene) systems.     

Thermodynamics of formation of double salts M2SO4 · M′SO4 · 6H2O and M2SeO4 · M′SeO4 · 6H2O where M denotes Rb,or Cs and M′ denote Co,Ni, or Zn

This paper describes a chemical model that calculates (solid + liquid) equilibria in the (m₁Rb₂SO₄ + m₂CoSO₄)(aq), (m₁Rb₂SeO₄ + m₂CoSeO₄)(aq), (m₁Rb₂SO₄ + m₂NiSO₄)(aq), (m₁Rb₂SO₄ + m₂ZnSO₄)(aq), (m₁Rb₂SeO₄ + m₂ZnSeO₄)(aq), (m₁Cs₂SO₄ + m₂CoSO₄)(aq), (m₁Cs₂SeO₄ + m₂CoSeO₄)(aq), (m₁Cs₂SO₄ + m₂NiSO₄)(aq), (m₁Cs₂SeO₄ + m₂NiSeO₄)(aq), (m₁Cs₂SO₄ + m₂ZnSO₄)(aq), and (m₁Cs₂SeO₄ + m₂ZnSeO₄)(aq) systems, where m denotes molality at the temperature T=298.15 K. The Pitzer ion-interaction model has been used for thermodynamic analysis of the experimental osmotic and solubility data presented in the literature. The thermodynamic functions needed (binary and ternary parameters of ionic interaction, thermodynamic solubility products) have been calculated and the theoretical solubility isotherm has been plotted. The mixing parameters {θ(MN) and ψ(MNX)} have been chosen on the basis of the compositions of saturated ternary solutions and data on the binary solubility of the sulfate M₂SO₄. M^′SO₄ · 6H₂O double salts in water. To validate the mixing solutions model two different approaches have been used in evaluation of the ternary parameters: (I) preserving the same value of the binary mixing θ(MN) for the corresponding chloride, bromide, sulfate, and selenate systems with the same cations, and (II) with constant θ(MN) value (set equal to −0.05) for the all 11 sulfate and selenate systems. Very good agreement between experimentally determined and model predicted solubilities has been found. Important thermodynamic characteristics (thermodynamic solubility products, standard molar Gibbs free energy of formation) of the solid phases (simple salts, six sulfate – M₂SO₄ · M^′SO₄ · 6H₂O, and five selenate – M₂SeO₄ · M^′SeO₄ · 6H₂O – double salts) crystallizing in the systems under consideration are determined.     

Synthesis,characterization and thermochemistry of Cs(ASP) · nH2O (n = 0, 1)

New compounds of aspartic acid Cs(ASP) · nH₂O (n = 0, 1) have been synthesized and characterized by XRD, IR and Raman spectroscopy as well as TG. The structural formula of this new compound was Cs(ASP) · nH₂O (n = 0, 1). The enthalpy of solution of Cs(ASP) · nH₂O (n = 0, 1) in water were determined. With the incorporation of the standard molar enthalpies of formation of CsOH(aq) and ASP(s), the standard molar enthalpy of formation of −(1202.9 ± 0.2) kJ · mol⁻¹ of Cs(ASP) and −(1490.7 ± 0.2) kJ · mol⁻¹ of Cs(ASP) · H₂O were obtained.     

Ternary (liquid + liquid) equilibria for (water + 2-propanol + α-pinene,or β-pinene) mixtures at four temperatures

Ternary (liquid + liquid) equilibria date for the (water + 2-propanol + α-pinene, or β-pinene) systems were measured at T = (293.15, 298.15, 303.15, and 308.15) K under atmospheric pressure. The experimental results were correlated using the extended and modified UNIQUAC models. The calculated results obtained from the modified UNIQUAC model successfully represent the experimental tie-line data. The temperature influence on liquid-phase equilibria was studied.     

Thermodynamic study of (alkyl esters + α,ω-alkyl dihalides) III. HmEandVmE for 20 binary mixtures {xCu − 1H2u − 1CO2C4H9 + (1 − x)α,ω-ClCH2(CH2)v − 2CH2Cl}, where u = 1 to 4, α = 1 and v = ω = 2 to 6

In this article, the experimental data of excess molar enthalpies $H_{\mathrm{m}}^{\mathrm{E}}$ and excess molar volumes $V_{\mathrm{m}}^{\mathrm{E}}$ are presented for a set of 20 binary mixtures comprised of the first four butyl alkanoates (methanoate to butanoate) and five α,ω-dichloroalkanes (1,2-dichloroethane to 1,6-dichlorohexane), obtained at atmospheric pressure and at a temperature of 298.15 K. The results indicate the existence of specific interactions between both kinds of compounds resulting in exothermic processes for most mixtures, except for those containing butyl methanoate which give rise to net endo/exothermic effects. The $V_{\mathrm{m}}^{\mathrm{E}}$ are positive for mixtures of (butyl esters + 1,2-dichloroethane or 1,3-dichloropropane) and negative for the remaining ones. The change in $H_{\mathrm{m}}^{\mathrm{E}}$ with the dichloroethane chain length for a same ester is regular although the $V_{\mathrm{m}}^{\mathrm{E}}$ presents an irregular variation. It can, therefore, be deuced from this that the mixing process involves both effects, exothermic/endothermic and expansion/contraction, simultaneously. The behaviour of the mixtures is interpreted on the basis of the results observed and attributed to different effects taking place among the molecules studied.To improve application of the UNIFAC model using the version of Dang and Tassios, average values were recalculated again for parameters of the ester/chloride interaction, distinguishing, during its application, the functional group of the acid part of the ester. In spite of this, the model does not adequately reproduce the systems’ behaviour.     

Measurements of the critical parameters for {xNH3 + (1 − x)H2O} with x = (0.9098, 0.7757, 0.6808)

Measurements of the critical parameters for {xNH₃ + (1 ? x)H₂O} with x = (0.9098, 0.7757, 0.6808) were carried out by using a metal-bellows variable volumometer with an optical cell. The expanded uncertainties (k = 2) in temperature, pressure, density, and composition measurements have been estimated to be less than 3.2 mK, 3.2 kPa, 0.3 kg · m^?3, and 8.8 · 10^?4, respectively. In each mole fraction, the critical temperature T_c was first determined on the basis of the intensity of the critical opalescence. The critical pressure p_c and critical density ρ_c were then determined as the point at which the meniscus disappears on the isotherm at T = T_c. The expanded uncertainties (k = 2) in the present critical parameters have also been estimated. Comparisons of the present values with the literature data as well as the calculated values afforded using the equation of state are also presented.     

Enthalpies of solution of dl-α-alanyl-dl-α-asparagine in aqueous alcohols at 298.15 K

The enthalpies of solution of dl-α-alanyl-dl-α-asparagine (AlaAsn) were measured in aqueous methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol and 2-propanol with an alcohol mole-fraction content x₂ (from 0 to 0.4) at 298.15 K. The experimental results were used to calculate the enthalpies of transfer of AlaAsn from water to these mixtures as well as the enthalpy coefficients of pair-wise interactions (h_xy) between AlaAsn and alcohol molecules in water, according to the McMillan–Mayer's model. The h_xy values were found to be positive and increasing in a series methanol < ethanol < 1-propanol < 2-propanol.     

Experimentally determined thermodynamic properties of schapbachite (α-AgBiS2) below T = 700 K

Thermodynamic properties of schapbachite (α-AgBiS₂) in the phase assemblage α-AgBiS₂–AgBi₃S₅–Bi have been studied by an EMF-technique. The EMF-measurements were made on the galvanic cell Pt(−)|Ag|AgI|AgBiS₂ + AgBi₃S₅ + Bi|C|Pt(+), over the temperature range from (429 to 699) K. According to the EMF vs. temperature relations obtained, the enthalpy of the phase transformation from β-AgBi_1+xS₂ to α-AgBi_1+xS₂, at T = (465.55 ± 5) K, was calculated to be (7.3 ± 2.1) kJ · mol⁻¹. New experimentally determined thermodynamic properties of the bismuth-saturated schapbachite (α-AgBi_1+xS₂), for each temperature region of the stable phases Bi(s) and Bi(l), were generated and analysed in detail. Based on the experimental results, Gibbs free energies of sulfidation reactions including Ag, Bi(l), S₂(g), Ag₂S and Bi₂S₃ to produce the bismuth-saturated schapbachite (α-AgBi_1+xS₂) have been evaluated. It has been observed that within the temperature range from (474 to 680) K, schapbachite saturated with bismuth (α-AgBi_1+xS₂) is thermodynamically more stable than the stoichiometric schapbachite (α-AgBiS₂).     

Measurement and correlation of the (p, ρ, T) relation of liquid cyclohexane,toluene, and ethanol in the temperature range from 233.15 K to 473.15 K at pressures up to 30 MPa for use as density reference liquids

Comprehensive (p, ρ, T) measurements on cyclohexane, toluene, and ethanol were carried out in the homogeneous liquid phase for temperatures from 233.15 K to 473.15 K at pressures up to 30 MPa. The measurements were performed by using an accurate single-sinker densimeter based on the Archimedes’ buoyancy principle. The total uncertainty of the measurements in density was estimated to be 0.015% (level of confidence 95%). Based on the experimental results, accurate correlation equations for the density of the three liquids have been established; their uncertainty is 0.020%. Comparisons with previous results of other experimentalists and with values calculated from current equations of state are presented. In this context it is also shown that the density of a liquid can vary slightly depending on the batch of the liquid used for the measurements. The purpose of this work was to provide accurate correlation equations for the densities of the three selected liquids so that these liquids can be used as density reference liquids for the calibration of densimeters and, in particular, for the calibration of vibrating-tube densimeters.     

Excess molar volumes of binary mixtures of 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol with water,or acetone,or 1,4-difluorobenzene,or 4-fluorotoluene,or α,α,α, trifluorotoluene or 1-alcohols at a temperature of 298.15 K and pressure of 101 kPa

The V_m^E extrema are: 1.540 cm³ · mol⁻¹ for (2,2,2-trifluoroethanol + 1-heptanol); 1.452 cm³ · mol⁻¹ for (2,2,2-trifluoroethanol + 1-hexanol); 1.238 cm³ · mol⁻¹ for (2,2,2-trifluoroethanol + 1-butanol); 0.821 cm³ · mol⁻¹ for (2,2,2-trifluoroethanol + 4-fluorotoluene); 0.817 cm³ · mol⁻¹ for (2,2,2-trifluoroethanol + ethanol); 0.647 cm³ · mol⁻¹ for (2,2,2-trifluoroethanol + methanol); 0.618 cm³ · mol⁻¹ for (2,2,2-trifluoroethanol + acetone); 0.605 cm³ · mol⁻¹ for (2,2,2-trifluoroethanol + α,α,α-trifluorotoluene); 0.485 cm³ · mol⁻¹ for (2,2,2-trifluoroethanol + 1,4-difluorobenzene); and −0.656 cm³ · mol⁻¹ for (2,2,2-trifluoroethanol + water). The limiting excess partial molar volumes are estimated.     

The (p, ρ, T) properties and apparent molar volumes Vϕ of (ZnBr2 + C2H5OH)

The (p, ρ, T) properties and apparent molar volumes V_? of ZnBr₂ in ethanol at temperatures (293.15 to 393.15) K and pressures up to p = 40 MPa are reported. The measurements were made with a recently developed vibration-tube densimeter. The system was calibrated using double-distilled water, methanol, ethanol, and aqueous NaCl solutions. The experiments were carried out at molalities of m = (0.05681, 0.16958, 0.30426, 0.43835, 0.93055, 1.49016, and 1.88723) mol · kg^?1 using zinc bromide. An empirical correlation for the density of (ZnBr₂ + C₂H₅OH) with pressure, temperature, and molality has been derived. This equation of state was used to calculate other volumetric properties such as isothermal compressibility, isobaric thermal expansibility, the differences in specific heat capacities at constant pressures and volumes, apparent molar volumes of ZnBr₂ in ethanol, and partial molar volumes of both components.

Summary.  Homochiral N^α-methyl-2,3-diaminopropionic and N^α-methyl-2,4-diaminobutyric acid derivatives 8a,b were obtained via a stereoconservative four-step synthesis starting from hexafluoroacetone protected L-aspartic and L-glutamic acid 2a,b, respectively. Hexafluoroacetone protected ω-isocyanato-α-methylamino acids 4a,b– the key intermediates of the synthesis – are versatile building blocks for amino acid and peptide modification and promising candidates for combinatorial chemistry. Upon reaction with alcohols, compounds 4 give activated N ^ω-urethane protected ω-amino-α-methylamino acid derivatives 5–7; upon reaction with amines, ω-ureido-α-methylamino acid derivatives 10–12 and 3-methylamino-pyrrolidin-2-ones 13 are available.
