First and second thermodynamic mixing properties of ethylbenzene +n-alkanes: Experimental and theory

Isobaric expansibilities _P and isothermal compressibilities _T have been determined at 25 and 45°C for binary mixtures of ethylbenzene + n-tetradecane and + n-hexadecane and the corresponding excess functions (V ^E /T)_P and (V ^E /P)_T have also been obtained. With these data and supplementary literature values, the following second order mixing properties are also reported at 25°C: _S ^E , (V ^E /P)_T, C_V and (VT). All mixing quantities have been compared with the results obtained at 25°C by using the Prigogine-Flory-Patterson theory of liquid mixtures. The predicted values suggest that the ability of ethylbenzene as a breaker of the pure n-C_n orientations is similar to what we found for toluene and higher than for p-xylene.     

Variation of excess volumes with temperature for binary mixtures ofp-xylene withn-hexane andn-hexadecane

The variation of the molar volume with temperature from 25 to 50 °C of binary mixtures of p-xylene + n-hexane and p-xylene + n-hexadecane has been measured by a dilatometric method over the complete mole fraction range. From the experimental results we have calculated v^E/T)_p. Literature values of v^E at 25°C together with the integration of v^E/T)_p yield v^E as a function of temperature. The excess volumes of p-xylene + n-hexane at 40 °C and p-xylene + n-hexadecane at 40 and 45 °C have also been measured by a dilatometric method, and the results were compared to those obtained from the integration of . The results from both methods are in excellent agreement within experimental error.The experimental values of are negative for the system p-xylene + n-hexane and positive for p-xylene + n-hexadecane. We have interpreted our experimental results in terms of the order present in p-xylene and n-alkanes.     

Thermodynamic properties for binary liquid mixtures of 1-chlorobutane+n-alkanes

Isothermal compressibilities K and isobaric thermal expansion coefficients _p have been measured at 25 and 45°C for pure components and the following binary mixtures: 1-chlorobutane+normal alkanes (n-C_n) where n=6, 8, 10, 12, 14 and 16. With these results and other thermodynamic data from literature the next mixing quantities have also been reported: (V ^E/T)_P, – (V)^E/P)_T, K _S ^v , H ^E/P)_T, (_pVT and C_v. The obtained results have been compared at 25°C with the calculated values by using the Prigogine-Flory-Patterson theory of liquid mixtures. The theory predicts the excess volume V^E and V ^E/P)_T values rather well, the C _P ^E quite poorly, while for V ^E/T)_P and V ^E/P)_T it is only predicted the trend with the chain length of the n-alkane. The last two quantities show deviations between theoretical and experimental, slightly higher in systems with longer n-alkanes than for shorter ones. Our conclusion is that a nonrigid linear molecule, like 1-chlorobutane, has a low ability as a breaker of the pure n-C_n orientation correlations, in between that which we found for toluene and p-xylene and much smaller than for cyclohexane or benzene.     

Comparison Between a Generalized Electronic Diabatic Approach and the Born–Oppenheimer Separation Scheme in Inertial Frames

We discuss a generalized electronic diabatic (GED) approach to diagonalize the exact Hamiltonian of an n-electron system which embeds an external background of positive charges. This Hamiltonian, denoted by _e(q,), is defined in an inertial frame, and it contains a quantum part (the electrons with coordinates q) and a classical part (the external charges in a three-dimensional configuration ). We derive a GED basis set { _k (q)} using an operator _e(q,⁰) for a single configuration ⁰, and then show that these are also eigenfunctions for any other _e(q,); only the ordering of eigenvalues may depend on (i.e., k=k()). The GED functions can also be used to represent the eigenstates of a fully quantum-mechanical system of electrons and nuclei. We discuss briefly the differences between the present procedure and the standard Born–Oppenheimer (BO) technique in the clamped-nuclei approximation. As illustration, we show how chemical changes emerge as transitions among diabatic states mediated by an electromagnetic field.     

Dielectric constants of acetonitrile, γ-butyrolactone,propylene carbonate,and 1,2-dimethoxyethane as a function of pressure and temperature

The dielectric constants of 1,2-dimethoxyethane, acetonitrile, -butyrolactone, and propylene carbonate were determined from capacitance measurements extrapolated to infinite frequency; ln are reported as a function of pressure up to 80 MPa at 15, 25, 35, 45°C and as a function of temperature in the range 10 to 50°C at 0.10133 MPa. The variation of ln with temperature or pressure can be expressed by a second order polynomial expression. The isothermal compressibilities of the solvents were determined at 25°C from sound velocities, densities, and heat capacities. A simple correlation can be established between ln /P and for most aprotic solvent.     

Relativistic virial theorem for diatomic molecules. Application to H 2 +

Summary The virial theorem for a molecule in the relativistic clamped-nuclei approximation is derived. The individual energy contributionsA (momentum energy),B (mass energy),T=A+B (kinetic energy) andV (potential energy) are expressed in terms ofE, E/R (derivate w.r.t. the nuclear coordinates) and the relativistic correction E/² (derivative w.r.t. Sommerfield's fine-structure constant ). IfE and E/R are known as functions of , then all individual energy terms are also known as functions of . As an example, numerical results for H ₂ ⁺ are presented. The relativistic and nonrelativistic potential energy curves and the paradoxical behavior of their different contributions are analyzed and interpreted in both the largeR and shortR ranges.Dedicated to Professor W. Kutzelnigg on the occasion of his 60th birthday

Electrochemical Determination of Cinnamtannin B1 with a Pyrolytic Graphite Electrode

Cinnamtannin B1 (trimeric proanthocyanidin), which is identified and isolated from the effective fraction of the root of Lindera aggregata (Sims) Kosterm, is one kind of condensed tannin used as an effective antipyrotic and antitumor agent. Its electrochemical response can be obtained at a pyrolytic graphite electrode. Consequently, an easily performed and sensitive method for the determination of cinnamtannin B1 is developed. The detection limit is estimated to be 1.0×10^–7M with the linear determination range of 2.0×10^–7M to 1.8×10^–6M. Five replicate analyses of 1.0×10^–6M cinnamtannin B1 yields an RSD value of 2.1%. Since the working electrode does not need to be modified with any other species, it is very stable, repeatable and easily treated, and this method therefore potentially useful in real sample analysis.

The Dissociation Constants of 1,1′-Bis (pyridinium-4-aldoxime)trimethylene dibromide

Summary. The dissociation constants of the two oxime groups of 1,1-bis(pyridinium-4-aldoxime)trimethylene dibromide (TMB-4) were determined using spectrophotometric data. Two numerical methods were applied to treat the overlapping equilibria. The results obtained by both agreed with each other and their mean values at 25°C corrected for the ionic strength of 0.05moldm^–3 are pK_a1=7.49±0.11 and pK_a2=8.96±0.09. These values were discussed in terms of the pK_as of 1,1-bis(pyridinium-4-aldoxime)oxydimethylene dichloride (Toxogonin), a similar dioxime, which were derived by extrapolation of literature data.

Thermal properties of the clathrate compounds of binary cyanides

The stoichiometry of thermal decomposition of a particular group of clathrate compounds, of the type Cd(en)Pd(CN)₄·2G, with the same coordination component but different clathrate-enclosed components, was investigated. Irrespective of the experimental conditions, the liberation of the enclosed component G always proceeded in one step. Thermal investigation of the decomposition stoichiometry under identical experimental conditions showed that the temperature intervals in which the enclosed components are given off shift to lower temperatures in the order C₆H₅OH=> C₆H₆ > > C₄H₅N > C₄H₄S. Diffraction measurements indicated a considerable change in the structures of the original clathrate compounds after thermal release of the enclosed componentG.

Zusammenfassung Die Stöchiometrie der thermischen Zersetzung einer bestimmten Gruppe von Klathratverbindungen vom Typ Cd(en)Pd(CN)₄·2G mit der gleichen Koordinationskomponente und verschiedenen Klathrat-Einschlußkomponenten wurde in dieser Studie untersucht. Ungeachtet der Versuchsbedingungen vollzieht sich die Freisetzung der eingeschlossenen KomponenteG stets in einer Stufe. Die unter gleichen Versuchsbedingungen durchgeführte thermische Untersuchung der Zersetzungsstöchiometrie zeigte, daß die Temperaturbereiche, in denen die eingeschlossenen Komponenten freigesetzt werden in der Reihenfolge C₆H₅OH > C₆H₆ > C₄H₅N > C₄H₄S in Richtung der niedrigeren Temperaturwerte verschoben werden. Die Diffraktionsmessungen weisen darauf hin, daß eine beträchtliche Änderung der Struktur der ursprünglichen Klathratverbindung nach thermischer Freisetzung der eingeschlossenen KomponenteG sichtbar wird.

Les mesures de diffraction indiquent qu'après la libération thermique du composant occlusG, une variation considérable de la structure initiale des clathrates originaux apparaît.

Thermodynamics of nucleic acid bases and nucleosides in water from 25 to 55°C

Specific heat capacities, apparent molar heat capacities, densities, and apparent molar volumes have been determined for cytosine, uracil, thymine, adenine, cytidine, 2-deoxycytidine, uridine, thymidine and adenosine at temperatures from 25°C to 55°C. The results of these measurements have been used to calculate for the first time, the thermodynamic quantities:C _p,2 ^o , (C _p,2 ^o /T)_p, (² C _p,2 ^o T ²)_p,V ₂ ^o , (V ₂ ^o /T)_p, and (² V ₂ ^o /T ²)_p. The-CH₂-group contribution has been calculated at different temperatures. It has also been observed from the data for the nucleic acid bases and nucleosides that the additivity ruleC _p,2 ^o (nucleoside)-C _p,2 ^o (base) +C _p,2 ^o (water)=C _p,2 ^o (ribose) does not hold in these cases.     

IR study of interaction of propylene at CoO-MgO and CoO-MoO3-MgO surfaces

IR spectra of propylene adsorbed in CoO-MgO and CoO-MgO-MoO₃ solid solutions show that a surface -complex with Co²⁺ ions is formed, strongly bonded in the former case and weakly in the latter. Thus, introduction of Mo strongly modifies the catalytic properties of Co²⁺ active centers. In the presence of oxygen, allylic species, aldehyde and carboxylate complexes appear.

Thermal stability and phase transformations in a commercial vanadia-molybdena alkali-promoted catalyst

Temperature-programmed decomposition, thermal analysis, thermogravimetry and high-temperature X-ray analysis have been used to investigate a commercial catalyst for the selective oxidation of benzene into maleic anhydride. It was shown that phase transformations took place in the vanadia-molybdena alkali-promoted catalyst. The transformations were caused either by high-temperature treatment or by catalytic work in an industrial plant. As a result, the-bronze phase was formed. In the high-temperature region a reversible transformation of the bronze phase was observed. This was interpreted as the phase transformation.

Dimerization of N-methylanabasine in the presence of metallic sodium

In a study of the dimerization of N-methylanabasine in the presence of metallic sodium under conditions for the dimerization of pyridine, it was found that the reaction does not take place at room temperature while at 50–70° C it leads to the formation of,-di(1-methylpiperid-2-yl)-,-bipyridyl. Oxidation of the latter yielded 4,4-bipyridyl-5, 5-dicarboxylic acid, the decarboxylation of which gave,-bipyridyl.
