Alkylation of p-substituted phenols by heteropoly acids

Liquid-phase alkylation of p-tert-butylphenol (TBP) and p-cresol by olefins and benzyl chloride in the presence of solid heteropoly acids (HPA) H₃PW₁₂O₄₀ and 25% H₃PW₁₂O₄₀/SiO₂ at 100–150°C provides high yields of mono- and disubstituted products. HPAs are more active than H₂SO₄, easily separated from the reaction mixture and can be used repeatedly. -- () - () H₃PW₁₂O₄₀ 25% H₃PW₁₂O₄₀/SiO₂ 100–150°C - - . , H₂SO₄, - - .

Thermodynamic studies of clathrate hydrates

Thermodynamic studies of clathrate hydrates, mainly of structures I and II, are considered in this review which is based on 147 references. There are two main subjects. The first is the host lattice energy and the guest-host interaction energy, both of these quantities being related to the enthalpy of dissociation and composition of the hydrates. The second subject concerns orientational ordering phenomena occurring in both host and guest, as reflected in the low temperature heat capacity. The classical theoretical treatment of clathrate formation has been reconsidered on the basis of recent experimental results. Particular emphasis has been given to orientational ordering since this topic is undoubtedly central to clarifying the nature of clathrate hydrates.Ausgehend von 147 Literaturangaben wurden in diesem Review thermodynamische Untersuchungen von Klathrathydraten hauptsächlich der Struktur I und II betrachtet. Es gibt zwei Hauptaugenmerke. Als erstes die Wirtsgitterenergie und die Gast-Wirt-Wechselwirkungsenergie, beide bezogen auf die Dissoziationsenthalpie und die Bildungsenthalpie der Hydrate. Das zweite Hauptaugenmerk betrifft Orientierungs-Konditionierungserscheinungen sowohl in Wirt als auch Gast, wie in den Wärmekapazitäten bei niedrigen Temperaturen widergespiegelt wird. Auf der Basis jüngster experimenteller Ergebnisse wurde die klassische theoretische Betrachtung über die Bildung von Klathraten überprüft. Der Orientierung-Konditionierung wurde besonderer Nachdruck verliehen, da dies zweifellos eine entscheidende Rolle bei der Klärung der Natur der Klathrathydrate spielt. 147 I II. . «» « — », . «» « », . . , .

On the mechanism of water dissociation on the surface of Al2O3. Quantum-chemical calculations

Quantum-chemical calculations of clusters modelling adsorption complexes on the -Al₂O₃ surface have been used to evaluate two points of view on the mechanism of surface dissociation of water molecules on this oxide. The calculations show that this process involves interaction of water molecules with basic surface oxygen atoms rather than with Lewis acid sites.- , -Al₂O₃, H₂O . , .

Studies of the effect of strong metal-support interaction (SMSI) over model catalyst Rh/TiO2

The effect of strong metal-support interaction (SMSI) has been studied over Rh/TiO₂ as a model catalyst. Adsorbability variations during SMSI state generation have been found to be due to the production of Rh–Ti alloy. - Rh/TiO₂. , SMSI Rh–Ti.     

Chemisorptive characterization of Mn2+ cation effects on fused iron-catalysts

Volumetric and pulse chemisorptions of carbon monoxide (CO) have been developed to characterize effects of Mn²⁺ cations on an industrial doubly promoted fused iron catalyst. Addition of Mn²⁺ cations induces an increase in Fe dispersity, Fe electronic density and stability of the Mn²⁺-containing iron catalyst, where the same increase is observed by XPS and SEM. These effects explain why the activity of Mn²⁺-containing iron catalysts is improved. Mn²⁺ , . Mn²⁺ Fe, Fe , XPS SEM. . Mn²⁺ .     

Schottky contributions in chemical thermodynamics

Cryogenic heat-capacity determinations provide a useful tool for the determination of the energetic spectrum of condensed phases and also reveal information on their discrete electronic level structures as well. We have been interested in applying these techniques to actinide elements and have in recent months been working up the techniques to unravel the corresponding data for the lanthanide compounds—where opposite trends in cationic masses and molar volumes provide an opportunity to test theories useful for the resolution of excess heat capacity from lattice contributions.As an important aspect of heat capacities—especially of compounds withd andf electrons—the Schottky contribution deserves to be much better known—by chemists, by physicists, and by students of thermodynamics. These remarks are designed to further that goal.

Zusammenfassung Bestimmungen der kryogenen Wärmekapazität sind nützlich zur Bestimmung des energetischen Spektrums kondensierter Phasen und liefern zugleich Informationen über deren diskrete Elektronenniveaustrukturen. Wir waren an der Anwendung dieser Techniken auf Actinidenelemente interessiert und haben in den letzten Monaten Methoden zur Ordnung der entsprechenden Daten für die Lanthaniden-Verbindungen ausgearbeitet — wo entgegengesetzte Trends von Kationenmasse und molarem Volumen die Möglichkeit bieten, Theorien zu prüfen, die nützlich für die Absonderung der Überschußwärmekapazität von Gitterbeiträgen sind. Als ein wichtiger Aspekt von Wärmekapazitäten, besonders von Verbindungen mit d- und f-Elektronen, sollte der Schottky-Beitrag von Chemikern, Physikern und Studenten der Thermodynamik besser verstanden werden. Diese Bemerkungen sollen diesem Zwecke dienen.

Kinetics of perborate oxidation of quinol

The perborate oxidation of quinol in aqueous acetic acid is first order with respect to perborate, zero order with respect to quinol, and first order with respect to H⁺. The oxidation is faster than H₂O₂ oxidation. Breakdown of protonated perboric acid is suggested as the rate-limiting step.

TPD of ammonia from H-ZSM-5 zeolites deactivated during coupled methanol hydrocarbon cracking (CMHC)

The deactivation of H-ZSM-5 zeolite samples during coupled methanol/hydrocarbon cracking (CMHC) with n-butane as feed has been investigated in two different reaction modes (with intermediate regeneration and without regeneration). TPDA was used to characterize strong Brönsted acidity of fresh, regenerated and steamed H-ZSM-5 zeolite. The prevention of dealumination by blocking the acid centers with carbonaceous products could be proved, but the conversion rate of n-butane and the olefin selectivity declined drastically with increasing coking rate.

Relative reactivities of phosphites in reactions with hydrotrioxides

Studies of the interaction of hydrotrioxides ROOOH of ethanol, 1-propanol, 2-propanol, 1-butanol, 2-butanol, 1,1-dimetoxyethane, 1,1-diethoxyethane, benzaldehyde and tetrahydrofuran with trimethyl triisopropyl, tributyl, triallyl, triphenyl and tri-o-chresyl phosphites (RO)₃P have revealed that in mild conditions ROOOH rapidly and selectively oxidizes (RO)₃P to the corresponding phosphates. The reaction stoichiometry has been established. Aromatic phosphites are shown to be of inferior reactivity to ROOOH as compared with aliphatic phosphites.

Thermal decomposition of Y,La and light lanthanide complexes of hippuric acid

The conditions of thermal decomposition of the hippurates of Y, La and the light lanthanides from Ce(III) to Gd have been studied. When heated, the Y, Ce(III), Pr and Gd complexes decomposed in two stages, those of La, Sm and Eu in three stages, and that of Nd in four stages, the oxides finally being formed. The complexes lost crystallization water to form anhydrous (Nd) or hydrated salts, and then decomposed to oxides directly (Y, Ce(III), Pr(III) and Gd) or with intermediate formation of Ln₂O₂CO₃ (La, Nd, Sm and Eu). The temperature of oxide formation varied periodically with the ionic potential in the lanthanide series.

Zusammenfassung Die Bedingungen der thermischen Zersetzung der Hippurate von Y, La und der leichten Lanthanide von Ce(III) bis Gd wurden untersucht. Beim Aufheizen zersetzen sich die Komplexe von Y, Ce(III), Pr und Gd in zwei Schritten, die von Sm und Eu in drei Schritten und der von Nd in vier Schritten zu den Oxiden. Die Komplexe verlieren Kristallwasser unter Bildung wasserfreier (Nd) oder hydratisierter Salze und zersetzen sich dann direkt (Y, Ce(III), Pr(III), Gd) oder über Ln₂O₂CO₃ (Ln, Nd, Sm, Eu) zu den Oxiden. Die Temperatur der Oxidbildung verändert sich periodisch mit abnehmenden Ionenpotential in der Lanthanidenreihe.
