Influence of the properties of an oxide film on the oxidation of aluminium powders

The structure of oxide films of aluminium powders has been established to depend on the size of its particles. The temperature dependence of the oxidation of the powder in air is ascribed to changes in both the structure of the oxide laver and the pressure of saturated aluminium vapor. The porous, permeable product consists of hollow microspheres of -Al₂O₃.

Artifacts caused by plastics in chemical experiments: Absorption, degradation, catalysis and irreproducible behavior

In the experimental praxis of our chemical laboratory we have been surprised and impressed by a few uncontrollable results caused by plastics. These materials are generally considered to be chemically more or less unreactive and inert. Absorption and chemical degradation—especially during long use—can activate the surface of silicon rubber, polyethylene or teflon, which are constituents of tubes, reaction vessels, stirring bars and other parts of instruments. In a few cases catalytic activation can be interpreted in terms of the interaction between the microporous surfaces of plastics and reactants. These observations require careful consideration and control of the properties and quality of plastics before using them even in the simplest chemical experiments.

Thermoanalytical investigations on the decomposition of double salts

The melting and decomposition behaviour of carnallite was investigated in the closed system under dynamic heating conditions and in the open system under dynamic and quasi-isothermal and quasi-isobaric conditions in the temperature range between 20 and 300°. DTA heating and cooling cycles in the closed system illustrate the incongruent melting of carnallite and the occurrence of different magnesium chloride hydrate phases. The thermal decomposition under quasi-isothermal and quasi-isobaric conditions begins at a pressure of at least 100 kPa from the melt and under reduced pressure from the solid. In any case KCl · MgCl₂ · 2 H₂O is formed which is decomposed to a basic product KMgCl_2.84–2.90(OH_0.10–0.16.

Die IR-Spektren von B-Methoxy- und B-Trideuteromethoxyborazinen und-boroxinen und Tri[methoxy(d3)boran

Zusammenfassung In Methoxyverbindungen des Bors tritt eine Verminderung der Frequenz der B—O-Valenzschwingung gengenüber den entsprechenden Trideuteromethoxyverbindungen auf. Dies wird durch zufällige Entartung von B—O und CH₃ erklärt, die zu einer Abstoßung und zur Vermischung des Schwingungscharakters dieser beiden Schwingungen führt. Hiedurch werden die B—O-Valenzschwingungen zu tieferen und die CH₃-Deformationsschwingungen zu höheren Wellenzahlen verschoben. Ähnliche Erscheinungen sind auch in Methoxyborazinen durch Wechselwirkung von BN und CH₃ zu beobachten. Diese Deutung gibt auch Hinweise für Zuordnungen in den Spektren von N-Methylborazinderivaten.

---

In methoxy substituted boron compounds bands arising from B—O stretching and (O)–CH₃ deformation modes show accidental degeneracy. The frequency of the CH₃ absorption is increased whereas BO is decreased compared to the corresponding CD₃-compounds. The spectra of B-methoxyborazines show similar effects between BN and (O)–CH₃ bands, which is analogous to interference between BN and (N)–CH₃ in N-methylborazines.

Study of the evolution of a MoO3+Bi2MoO6 mixture in air and in the conditions of mild propene oxidation

MoO₃ can react with the gamma phase of bismuth molybdate (Bi₂MoO₆) in the conditions of propene oxidation to form the alpha phase (Bi₂Mo₃O₁₂) resulting in a more selective catalyst for propene oxidation to acrolein. Intimate contact between MoO₃ and the gamma phase is an important factor favoring the formation of the alpha phase.

Molecular Interactions and Thermodynamic Aspects of the Complexation Reaction between Gentian Violet and Several Cyclodextrins

The complexation process between gentian violet (CV+) and four different cyclodextrins (-, -, -, and HP--CDs) has been investigated under different reaction conditions (pH, solvent, and temperature) by electronic absorption and 1H NMR (NOE and NOESY) spectroscopies. All the binding constants were determined by the direct spectroscopic method. The H and S complexation values have been evaluated and discussed according to the diverse factors that affect the chemical interactions in these systems. A simple association takes place between the secondary hydroxyl or the hydroxypropyl groups of and HP--cycloamyloses, respectively, with the amine group of the gentian violet, while the binding between CV+ and - or -CDs corresponds to a real inclusion. Also, a CV22+ dimmeric species within the -CD cavity was detected in aqueous solution, while two molecules of -CD react with one molecule of gentian violet in DMSO at 294 K. In all the reaction media the -CD forms 1 : 1 complexes, but in the buffered aqueous solution at pH 7.5 the inclusion is deeper than in the other solvents. It is important to point out that the solvophobic effect is the most important binding factor in the complexation of the CV+ with the - and HP--CDs, while the complexes with -, and -cyclodextrins are mainly stabilized by van der Waals interactions between the guest and the host cavity. In all cases, the inclusion orientation is probably determined by the ion-dipole interactions between gentian violet and the solvent.

Thermogravimetric and EPR study of the solid-state reactions between zinc chromate and zinc oxalate

The formation of some catalytically active Cr(V) and Cr(III) species is studied when the progressive thermal reduction of zinc chromate is enhanced by the addition of solid zinc oxalate, the reducing agent CO being formed in situ, during thermal analysis.When compared with the decomposition of pure ZnCrO₄, Cr(VI) reduction, as followed by EPR, is similar concerning the nature of the intermediate Cr species formed: Cr(V), Cr(III) in a Cr₂O₃-like bulk phase and Cr(III) dispersed in ZnO. However, the temperature range of Cr₂O₃ formation, as well as the magnitude of the Cr(III)-Cr(III) interaction in such a phase is found to be strongly dependent on the amount of ZnO formed. On the other hand, after the Cr(V) species resulting from progressive oxygen release have disappeared, some other stable Cr(V) species are formed again at higher temperatures. Their formation may be related to a further reduction of the remaining Cr(VI) species by CO stemming from the oxalate.

Zusammenfassung Die Bildung einiger katalytisch aktiver Cr(V) und Cr(III) Species wird für den Fall untersucht, bei dem die progressive thermische Reduktion von Zinkchromat durch Zugabe von festem Zinkoxalat gefördert wird, wobei das Reduktionsmittel CO in situ, während der Thermoanalyse gebildet wird.Ein Vergleich mit der Zersetzung der reinen ZnCrO₄ ergibt die ÄhnIichkeit der durch EPR verfolgten Cr(VI)-Reduktion hinsichtlich der Beschaffenheit der gebildeten Cr Intermediärspecies: Cr(V), Cr(III) in einer Cr₂O₃-artigen Hauptphase und Cr(III) in ZnO dispergiert. Jedoch sind Temperaturbereich der »Cr₂O₃«-Bildung sowie der Umfang der Cr(III)-Cr(III) Wechselwirkung in einer solchen Phase stark von der Menge des gebildeten ZnO abhängig. Andererseits werden nach dem Verschwinden der durch die progressive Sauerstoff-Freisetzung entstandenen Cr(V)-Species wider einige andere stabile Cr(V)-Species bei höheren Temperaturen gebildet. Ihre Bildung mag mit einer weiteren Reduktion der noch vorhandenen Cr(VI)-Species durch aus dem Oxalat stammendes CO verbunden sein.

Character of hydrocarbon activation and catalytic activity of solid catalysts in deep oxidation reactions

In terms of a single conception, the relative reactivity of hydrocarbons and the activity of solid catalysts in reactions of deep oxidation are interpreted for the IT_i type mechanism. It is shown that for the oxidation of saturated hydrocarbons the most important is the acceptor interaction of hydrocarbons with catalysts, whereas for the oxidation of unsaturated compounds, of significance are both the donor and acceptor interactions.

Magnetic properties of new copper(II) and [copper(II)]3-manganese(II) complexes of [14]N4 macrocyclic oxamides

Four new complexes of [14]N4 macrocyclic oxamides, namely [CuL1], [CuL2], [(CuL1)3Mn](ClO4)3 and [(CuL2)3 Mn](ClO4)3 [L1 and L2 are the dianions of 2,3-dioxo-5,6: 3,14-dibenzo-7,12-bis(ethoxycarbonyl)-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradeca-7,11-diene (H2L1) and 2,3-dioxo-5,6:13,14-dibenzo-9-methyl-7,12-bis(ethoxycarbonyl)-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclo-tetradeca-7,11-diene (H2L2), respectively], have been prepared and characterized. The observed magnetic susceptibilities of the [(CuL1)3Mn] (ClO4)3 complex over the ca. 2–300 K range have been fitted to theoretical equations based on the Heisenberg spin Hamiltonian =–2JMn(Cu1+ Cu2+Cu3) and molecular field approximation. The results indicated that both the intramolecular and intermolecular magnetic interactions are antiferromagnetic with JCuMn= –19.8cm–1 and zJ=–1.41cm–1.
