Kinetics of hydroperoxyde-dependent naphthalene hydroxylation involving cytochrome P-450 of the intact and induced enzyme systems of rat liver microsomes

Hydroperoxide-dependent naphthalene hydroxylation involving rat liver microsomes has been studied. The direct interaction between cytochrome p-450 and cumyl hydroperoxide (CHP) has been demonstrated. K_m values with respect to both the substrate and CHP have been determined using intact and induced enzyme systems. The nature of the hydroxylating agent and the possible role of high-valence iron in the processes of hydroxylation by microsomal systems is discussed.

Novel evidence for the selective behaviour of tungsten carbide in liquid phase heterogeneous catalytic hydrogenation

Liquid (aqueous) phase catalytic hydrogenation of compounds containing two oxo-groups in -position (biacetyl, glyoxal, alloxan) was studied in the presence of tungsten carbide catalyst. It has been shown that only one of the oxo-groups is affected in the course of the process and is transformed into a >CH–OH group. Comparative studies carried out in the presence of platinum catalyst attest the selective behaviour of tungsten carbide.

Kinetic studies of SO₂ oxidation by Cu(II) complexes in aqueous solutions containing halide ions X(X=Cl^–, Br^– and I^–) indicate that the highest activity is observed for mixed chloro-iodo complexes of Cu(II). A reaction mechanism is suggested where the principal role is assigned to CuX ₄ ^2– aq complexes and HSO₃ radicals.

Basic condensation of triphenylsilane. II. Kinetics in anhydrous isopropanol and influence of silanol

Condensation of triphenylsilane with isopropanol in presence of isopropoxide has been studied in anhydrous medium and the activation parameters have been measured. Dehydration of the medium has been obtained by means of a pre-reaction of triphenylsilane with the residual water in the solvent. In this medium the reaction is extremely slow, moreover, it is inhibited by silanol whose effect would lower the actual catalyst concentration.

Analysis of thermal desorption spectra of oxygen desorbed from rhodium

Thermal desorption spectra of oxygen desorbed from rhodium have been analyzed in terms of models accounting for the effect of lateral interactions between adsorbed particles and of their diffusion into the bulk of metal on the desorption kinetics of O₂. Complex configuration of these spectra is ascribed to the processes of formation/decomposition of surface Rh oxides and the diffusion of particles into the near-surface layers of metal and back to the surface.

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.

Effect of quantization of molecular rotations on the rate of capture in the ion-linear dipole system

The version of transition state theory that accounts for quantization of the rotational energy of a dipole gives ion-dipole capture rate constants in good agreement with the statistical adiabatic channel model and, in the region , gives results more accurate than those obtained by numerical trajectory calculations.

Temperature measurements with a differential calorimeter

A differential microcalorimeter was used for the reading of transition temperatures. The inherent factors in both the instrument and the sample which may introduce variables in temperature measurements carried out with the calorimeter were studied together with modifications of the reading methods. An accurate technique is described for the preparation of the sample and measurement of temperature. The proposed method, when applied to organic standards of very high and of decreasing purity, gives an accuracy of temperature reading in the order of ±0.1°, and confirms a relationship between experimental and theoretical values.

Variations in the cooling transitions of potassium nitrate

Because of questions concerning the suitability of potassium nitrate as a dynamic temperature standard for DTA, the relation between the experimental procedure and the resulting curves was ascertained for the Standard Reference Material KNO₃. The material behaves differentlyon cooling in open pans than in cylindrical holders because confinement in the latter case initiates reversion to the room temperature form. Under the conditions of use as a dynamic temperature reference material, the curves are accurately reproducible.

Zusammenfassung Zur Überprüfung der Eignung von Kaliumnitrat als dynamische Temperatur-Eichsubstanz für die DTA, wurde der Zusammenhang des Versuchsvorganges und der erhaltenen Kurven für das Standard-Referenz-Material KNO₃ untersucht. Die Substanz verhält sich bei der Kühlung in offenen Tiegeln und in zylindrischen Behältern unterschiedlich, da in letzteren die Begrenztheit die Reversion zur Zimmertemperatur-Form in Gang setzt. Unter den für das dynamische Temperatur-Referenz-Material gegebenen Bedingungen sind die Kurven gut reproduzierbar.

Résumé En raison de l'emploi du nitrate de potassium comme étalon de température en ATD, on a étudié l'influence des conditions d'expérience sur les courbes obtenues. Le comportement de ce corps est différent si on effectue le refroidissement dans des capsules ouvertes ou dans des creusets cylindriques. Dans ce dernier cas, le manque d'espace initie le retour à la forme stable delà température ambiante. Dans les conditions d'emploi comme matériau de température étalon, les courbes sont exactement reproductibles.

Decomposition of isopropanol on V2O5 of different grain morphology and its relation to o-xylene oxidation catalysts

Decompositon of isopropanol has been studied on V₂O₅ samples of different morphology. It has been shown that the selectivity to acetone increases with the increase in the fraction of (010) plane of V₂O₅ on the sample surface, whereas the selectivity to propene decreases. The results are compared with previous data of o-xylene oxidation on the same samples and discussed in terms of the model of V₂O₅ surface [7].

Kinetic parameters of thermal decomposition of complex of β-cyclodextrin with water

The apparent kinetic parameters of the thermal decomposition of the-cyclodextrin-water complex were estimated from thermogravimetric data. Various calculation methods were used and the results compared. All methods except the Kissinger method gave a reaction order near to zero and an activation energy in the range 60 to 65 kJ/mol. Some trials were made to extrapolate the activation energy values to semi-isothermal conditions (65.7 kJ/mol). The loss in weight indicated the presence of 11 water molecules in the complex. This was liberated in single stage, despite its occurrence as two distinct types, as shown by crystallographic studies.

Zusammenfassung Auf Grundlage von thermogravimetrischen Daten wurden die scheinbaren kinetischen Parameter des Thermozerfalles von-Cyclodextrin-Wasser- Komplexen geschätzt. Die durch verschiedene Rechenmethoden erhaltenen Ergebnisse wurden in Tabelle 3 verglichen. Mit Ausnahme der Kissinger-Methode ergaben alle Verfahren eine Reaktionsordnung von annähernd Null und eine Aktivierungsenergie im Bereich 60–65 kJ/mol. Ausserdem wurde versucht, die Aktivierungsenergiewerte auf halbisotherme Bedingungen zu extrapolieren (65.7 kJ/mol). Der Masseverlust weist elf Wassermoleküle im Komplex nach, die in einem einzigen Schritt abgegeben werden, ungeachtet dessen, dass kristallographische Untersuchungen die Wassermoleküle zwei verschiedenen Typen zuordnen.
