Reaction of undecyl radicals with aromatic hydrocarbons

A competition method (R^.+O₂RO ₂ ^. , R^.+XHRH+X^.) is proposed to measure the relative rate constants for the interaction of alkyl radicals with different organic compounds. Partial (per C–H bond) rate constants have been determined for the reaction of undecyl radicals with cumene, ethylbenzene and toluene.

Retrieval of thermodynamic properties of M(OH)2 (M=Mn,Ni and Cd) phases from hydrothermal phase equilibria of MO-H2O systems

The standard thermodynamic properties of M(OH)₂ (M=Mn, Ni and Cd) solid phases have been retrieved using a graphical approach based on the already reportedP vs. T curves obtained from hydrothermal studies of MO-H₂O systems. This approach avoids the use of heat capacity effects. The values retrieved by this modified approach are in good agreement with the calorimetric values.

Dieses Verfahren umgeht den Gebrauch von Wärmekapazitätseffekten. Die durch dieses modifizierte Verfahren erhaltenen Werte stehen in guter Übereinstimmung mit den kalorimetrischen Werten.

Dioxygen evolution from aqueous acid solutions of ruthenium complexes with nitrogen-containing ligands

Some peculiarities of reduction of one-electron oxidants, Ru(bpy) ₃ ³⁺ and Ru(bpy)₂(py) ₂ ³⁺ , in the absence of catalysts (when oxidation of the oxidant's ligands occurs) and in their presence (when also oxidation of water to dioxygen occurs) are discussed. Both oxidation reactions are thought to have a common intermediate.

TheC _v toC _p conversion for solid linear macromolecules via the Nernst-Lindemann equationC _p -C _v =A ₀,C _p ² T/T_m is discussed on hand of data for 10 crystals and seven glasses. An average value ofA ₀=(5.11±2.41) · 10^–3 mol K J^–1 was calculated if the mole is assumed to refer to heavy atoms only. ThisA ₀ is numerically equal to the original Nernst—Lindemann constant.

Kinetics of oxidation of carbonyl compounds by peroxomonosulfate. Formaldehyde, formic acid and formate anion

Kinetics of oxidation of formaldehyde, formic acid and formate anion by peroxomonosulfate (PMS) were studied. Formaldehyde is oxidized both by HSO ₅ ^– and SO ₅ ^2– , whereas formic acid and formate ion are oxidized by SO ₅ ^2– alone. The kinetic results show that the formaldehyde is 10³ times more reactive than formic acid, which in turn reacts 10² times faster than formate anion. Mechanisms are discussed in terms of the kinetic results.

Dynamic purity determinations. I. Location of the solidus by nuclear magnetic resonance

The error in purity determinations by differential scanning calorimetry has been studied on two different kinds of systems, metallic and organic, the latter with different types of impurities added. The organic systems have been corrected for solid-solubility error by a nuclear magnetic resonance technique.The impurities chosen for the organic systems were either quite dissimilar to the matrix or similar enough to render solid solution probable. This solid solution leads to deviations from the equation used for dynamic purity determinations. The nuclear magnetic resonance determination of the solidus establishes the proper starting temperature for area summation on a DSC curve.

Zusammenfassung Der Fehler in Reinheitsbestimmungen mittels Differential-Scanning-kalorimetrie wurde an zwei verschiedenartigen Systemen untersucht, metallisch und organisch, wobei zu letzteren verschiedentliche Verunreinigungen zugefügt wurden. Der durch Feststoff-Feststofflöslichkeit verursachte Fehler in den organischen Systemen wurde mittels einer kernmagnetischen Resonanzmethode korrigiert.Die für die organischen Systeme gewählten Verunreinigungen waren entweder sehr verschieden von der Matrix, oder aber genügend ähnlich, um feste Lösungen wahrscheinlich zu machen. Diese festen Lösungen führen zu Abweichungen von der für dynamische Reinheitsbestimmungen angewendeten Gleichung. Die Bestimmung der kernmagnetischen Resonanz des Feststoffs ermöglicht die Bestimmung der richtigen Anfangstemperatur für die Flächen-summierung auf der DSC-Kurve.

Thermal decomposition of CaCO3 in the presence of calcium fluoride

The thermal decompositoon of calcium carbonate mixed with calcium fluoride was examined by means of simultaneous TG, DTG and DTA. The temperature range of CaCO₃ decomposition shifted to higher temperatures as a result of CaCO₃-CaF₂ eutectic formation. The temperature of melting of this eutectic was in the temperature range of CaCO₃ decomposition, and therefore all factors which increase the partial pressure of CO₂ (such as the thickness of the sample layer, the shape of the crucible, the heating rate, etc.) influence the amount of the liquid phase. The DTA curves can be regarded as the sum of three endothermic effects occurring almost simultaneously: decomposition of CaCO₃ in the solid phase, melting of the eutectic, and decomposition of CaCO₃ present in the liquid phase.

Zusammenfassung Die thermische Zersetzung von Calciumcarbonat-Calciumfluorid-Mischungen wurde durch simultane TG-DTG-DTA untersucht. Der Bereich der CaCO₃-Zersetzung wird infolge der Bildung des CaCO₃-CaF₂-Eutektikums zu höheren Temperaturen verschoben. Die Schmelztemperatur dieses Eutektikums liegt im Temperaturbereich der CaCO₃-Zersetzung, deshalb haben alle Faktoren, die den Partialdruck des CO₂ beeinflussen (Schichtdicke der Probe, Tiegelgeometrie, Aufheizgeschwindigkeit usw.) auch Einfluss auf die Menge der entstehenden flüssigen Phase. Die DTA-Kurven entstehen durch Überlagerung von 3 endothermen Effekten, die fast gleichzeitig ablaufen: Zersetzung von CaCO₃ in fester Phase, Schmelzen des Eutektikums, Zersetzung von CaCO₃ in flüssiger Phase.

μSr studies of free radicals in the gas phase

Muonium (Mu=₊+e^-) is the bound state of a positive muon and an electron. Since the positive muon has a mass about 1/9 of the proton, Mu can be regarded as an ultra light isotope of hydrogen with unusually large mass ratios (MuHDT=1/9123). The muon spin rotation technique (SR) relies on the facts that (1) the muon produced in pion decay, ^{+ +} + , is 100% spin polarized and (2) the positron from muon decay is emitted preferentially along the instantaneous muon spin direction at the time of the muon decay.In transverse field SR (TF-SR), the precession of the muon spin in muonium substituted radicals is directly observed by detecting decay positrons time differentially. From observed radical frequencies, the hyperfine coupling constants (A ) of C₂H₄Mu, C₂D₄Mu,¹³C₂H₄Mu, C₂F₄Mu, and C₂H₃FMu are determined. In the longitudinal field avoided level crossing (LF-ALC) technique, one observes the resonant loss of the muon spin polarization caused by the crossing of hyperfine levels at particular magnetic fields. The LF-ALC method together with the information onA obtained from TF-SR allows one to determine the magnitude and sign of the nuclear hyperfine constants at - and -positions. Results are compared with hydrogen substituted ethyl-radicals and isotope effects are discussed.     

The phenomenon of conglomerate crystallization. XX. Spontaneous resolution in coordination compounds. XVIII.

The title compound, [cis-Co(en)₂(NO₂)₂](NO₂) (1), crystallizes in the polar, nonenantiomorphic, monoclinic space group, Cc, with lattice constants:a=9.198(2) Å,b=12.444(2),c=9.963(3), and=96.76(2)°;V=1132.39 ų andd(calc;Z=4) =1.860 g cm^–3. Thus, with NO_2– as the counteranion, [cis-Co(en)₂(NO₂)₂] crystallizes in a heterochiral lattice containing racemic pairs of cations. A total of 2699 data were collected over the range of 4°270°; of these, 1859 (independent and withI3(I)) were used in the structural analysis. Data were corrected for absorption (=15.465 cm^–1) and the relative transmission coefficients ranged from 0.9934 to 0.7112. Refinement was carried out for both lattice polarities and the finalR(F) andR _w (F) residuals were, respectively, 0.0242 and 0.0202 for (–––) and 0.0264 and 0.0243 for (+++). Thus, the former was selected as correct for our specimen.Unlike all previous X-ray diffraction studies of the structural properties of the cation [cis-Co(en)₂(NO₂)₂]⁺, which are found to have a pair of oppositely configured en rings [i.e., () or ()], we find that in1 the cations are in the lowest energy conformation and configuration; i.e., () or (). We attribute this change in configuration to the formation of strong interionic hydrogen bonds between nitrite anion oxygens and the axial—NH₂ hydrogens, which markedly weaken the intermolecular and intramolecular hydrogen bonds between ligand—NO₂ oxygens and the hydrogens of those same amine moieties. Thus, the nitrite anions behave exactly as nitrate anions, except that the hydrogen bonds found here are stronger than those formed by the latter. This is as expected since the negative charge is delocalized over two, instead of three, oxygens.

Thermal and some other properties of the complexes crystallizing from the system Ni(II)-en-[Ni(CN)4]2−-H2O

Seven complex compounds exhibiting the compositions Ni(en)₃Ni(CN)₄·H₂O (I), Ni(en)₃Ni(CN)₄ (II),-Ni(en)₂Ni(CN)₄ (III), Ni(en)Ni(CN)₄·2H₂O (IV), Ni(en)Ni(CN)₄ (V), Ni(en)₂Ni(CN)₄ · 2.5H₂O (VI) and-Ni(en)₂Ni(CN)₄ (VII) were prepared from the system Ni-en-[Ni(CN)₄]^2–-H₂O. These compounds were examined by the methods of infrared spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffractometry, UV-VIS reflectance spectroscopy, and also by the measurement of magnetic moments. The thermal stability, the stoichiometry of thermal decomposition and the mutual transformations were investigated with a derivatograph. The reactions proceeding according to the following schemes were observed if the system was heated to appropriate temperature: (I)(II)(III)(V)(IV) and (VI)(VII)(III)(V)(IV) Process (VII)(III) represents isomerization. The reversibility of the process (V)(IV) is due to the high hygroscopicity of the anhydrous complex. The changes in structure in the course of the individual processes are discussed.

Influence of the gas phase on metallic reference electrodes used in work function measurements

Contact potential differences between electrodes of Pt, Au and Ta of different surface finishing were measured by the dynamic condenser method in propylene and oxygen. Propylene is irreversibly adsorbed, thus changing the work function. This renders the electrodes unsuitable as standard electrodes for work function measurements on catalysts in the atmosphere of hydrocarbons, but they may be used in adsorption studies on oxygen.

Oxidative coupling of furan derivatives to bifurans catalyzed by palladium(II)

Furan and its 2-substituted derivatives (substituents: –CH₃, –CHO, –COOCH₃, –COOC₂H₅, –CH(OOCCH₃)₂) have been shown to react with palladium acetate in solution at 90–130°C giving the corresponding bifuran derivatives in high yields. The following order of activities has been obtained: –H, –CH₃, –CHO>–COOCH₃, –COOC₂H₅, –CH(OOCCH₃)₂>–COOH, which corresponds to the substituent effect in electrophilic substitution in heteroaromatic compounds.

Spin crossover studies in tris(N,N′-dialkyldithiocarbamato)iron(III) complexes

A series of fifteen complexes of the type [Fe(RRNCS₂)₃] with symmetric (R=R=n- C₆H₁₃, n-C₈H₁₇, CH₂–CH=;CH₂, C₆H₅, C₆H₁₁ and C₆H₅CH₂), unsymmetric (R = CH₃; R = n-C₄H₉, C₆H₁₁, C₆H₅ and R = C₂H₅; R = n-C₄H₉, C₆H₁₁, C₆H₅ and i-C₃H₇) and ring substituents (RNR=pyrrolidyl and piperidyl) have been synthesized and their magnetic moments and Mössbauer spectra recorded from room temperature (RT) to liquid nitrogen temperature (LNT). Room temperature Mössbauer spectra of all the complexes exhibit an asymmetric doublet, which could be resolved into two doublets, each corresponding to low and high spin states in equilibrium. The crystal structure of tris(N, N-diallyldithiocarbamato)iron(III) shows it to be monoclinic with trigonally distorted octahedral geometry and space group C2/c. Fe–S stretching vibrations in the far i.r. region also show equilibria, HS LS. Depending on the nature of the alkyl group substituent, variable temperature magnetic moment and Mössbauer spectral studies, all the complexes may be divided into three groups; high spin complexes exhibiting spin-crossover (⁶A_1g ²T_2g), high spin complexes exhibiting spin transition (⁶A_1g ⁴T_1g) and intermediate spin complexes showing spin transition (⁴A_1g ²T_2g). On the basis of areas of the two doublets corresponding to high and low spin states, their percent contributions were calculated. Furthermore, magnetic moments of the equilibrium mixture calculated on the basis of respective areas compare well with the experimentally determined _eff values. E_Q values for both high and low spin states show linear decrease with increasing temperature.     

Toluene disproportionation and coke formation over fluorided alumina and hydrogen-mordenite

Toluene transformation was investigated on a fluorided alumina and a protonic mordenite under hydrogen (0.8, 12 bar) and under nitrogen (12 bar). Hydrogen pressure considerably improves the catalytic stability of H-mordenite by inhibiting the formation of coke. Moreover, hydrogen eliminates part of the coke deposited by reaction under nitrogen, and regenerates the activity of the mordenite. On the contrary, hydrogen has no effect in the case of fluorided alumina. The particular behavior of the mordenite is attributed to its very strong acidity.

Combined thermoanalytical-mass-spectrometric investigation of crupodexR dextranomer

A cross-linked dextranomer, which is used as a wound drying and cleansing powder (Crupodex^R), has been investigated by several thermoanalytical methods. First the TG, DTG and DTA characteristics were studied and compared with those of another product (Debrisan^R), marketed earlier. The TG curves were also used for the examination of water uptake and the drying process. The traces of organic solvents (mainly ethanol) remaining from the manufacturing process were studied with a quadrupole mass-spectrometer coupled to a derivatograph. From the results of these experiments, several conclusions were drawn about the mechanism of water and solvent uptake.

Zuerst wurden die TG, DTG und DTA Charakteristiken betrachtet und mit denen eines schon früher auf den markt gekommenen Produktes (Debrisan^R) verglichen. Die TG-Kurven wurden auch zur Untersuchung der Wasseraufnahme- und Trocknungsprozesse verwendet. Aus dem Produktionsprozeß verbliebene Lösungsmittelreste — hauptsächlich Ethanol — wurden mit einer Instrumentenanordnung Quadrupolmassenspektrometer-Derivatograph bestimmt. Mittels dieser Ergebnisse konnten einige Schlußfolgerungen betreffs des Mechanismus der Wasser- und Lösungsmittelaufnahme getroffen werden.
