Infrared study of the rotational diffusion of allene in carbon sulfide

The profiles of the parallel and perpendicular bands ν₆ and ν₁₀ of allene in CS₂ and their temperature dependence have been studied. These profiles are sensibly lorentzian and consequently allow us to derive the components D and D of the rotational diffusion tensor and the corresponding activation energies; the accuracy of the results is discussed. In particular, it is not possible to determine unambiguously whether the activation energies U_| and U are equal or different but, whichever the case, the ratio D/D is of the order of 10. An application test of the extended J rotational diffusion model shows that the results concurrently obtained for the ν₆ and ν₁₀ bands are incompatible with this model and we come to the conclusion that the rotation of allene about its various axes is anisotropic.     

NQR in tert-butyl chloride

Tert-butyl chloride has been broadly studied experimentally through various techniques such as X-ray crystallography, DTA, and NMR. It was also studied experimentally through nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR), but this study was limited and incomplete. In this paper, we present a more detailed study of TBC through the NQR of ³⁵Cl. Our results show that near 120 K, the onset of the CH₃ groups semirotations around symmetry axis C₃ takes place with an activation energy U=16.1 kJ mol⁻¹. This intramolecular movement produces a T₁ minimum near 148 K and is the dominant mechanism of the nuclear spin-lattice relaxation in phase III of this compound. In phase II of TBC, we show that there are not only methyl groups semirotations, but also semirotations of the whole molecule around a different axis from the symmetry axis C′₃ (C–Cl bond) with an activation energy of E=10.4 kJ mol⁻¹.     

聚-4-乙基苯酚抗氧剂对聚丙烯结晶行为的影响

通过差示扫描量热仪(DSC)和X射线粉末衍射仪(XRD)研究了聚-4-乙基苯酚抗氧剂对聚丙烯结晶行为的影响。 分别用Jeziorny法和Mo法处理非等温结晶动力学。 同时用Friedman法和Kissinger法计算其结晶活化能。 最后由结晶活化能与结晶温度的变化曲线求得Hoffman-Lauritzen参数成核速率常数(K_g)和迁移活化能(U^*)值,进而求得折叠链端表面自由能(σ_e)和分子链段折叠功(q)。 结果表明,抗氧剂的加入,使聚丙烯的结晶峰温度向低温区移动,结晶半峰宽变大,半结晶时间(t_1/2)增大,Jeziorny法所得的结晶速率常数(Z)降低,Mo法所得反映结晶速率快慢的参数F(T)提高,在相同结晶转化率下,结晶活化能负值变小。 Hoffman-Lauritzen参数K_g、U^*、σ_e和q值均增大。 所有变化均表明聚-4-乙基苯酚抗氧剂对PP的结晶有抑制作用。     

Thermodynamics of (1,4-difluorobenzene + an n-alkane) and of (hexafluorobenzene + an n-alkane)

Excess molar enthalpies H^E and excess molar volumes V^E have been measured, as a function of mole fraction x₁, at 298.15 K and atmospheric pressure for the five liquid mixtures (x₁1,4-C₆H₄F₂ + x₂n-C_lH_2l+2), l = 7, 8, 10, 12 and 16. In addition, H^E and excess molar heat capacities C_P^E at constant pressure have been determined for the two liquid mixtures (x₁C₆F₆ + x₂n-C_lH_2l+2), l = 7 and 14, at the same temperature and pressure. The instruments used were flow microcalorimeters of the Picker design (the H^E version was equipped with separators) and a vibrating-tube densimeter, respectively.

The excess enthalpies of the five difluorobenzene mixtures are all positive and quite large; they increase with increasing chain length l of the n-alkane from H^E(x₁ = 0.5)/(J mol⁻¹) = 1050 for l = 7 to 1359 for l = 16. The corresponding excess volumes V^E are all positive and also increase with increasing l: V^E(x₁ = 0.5)/(cm³ mol⁻¹) = 0.650 for l = 7 and 1.080 for l = 16. Interestingly, the excess enthalphies of the corresponding mixtures with hexafluorobenzene are only about 5% larger, whereas the excess volumes of (x₁C₆F₆ + x₂n-C_lH_2l+2) are roughly twice as large as those of their counterparts in the series containing 1,4-C₆H₄F₂. Specifically, at 298.15 K H^E(x₁ = 0.5)/(J mol⁻¹) = 1119 for (x₁C₆F₆ + x₂n-C₇H₁₆) and 1324 for (x₁C₆F₆ + x₂n-C₁₄H₃₀), and for the same mixtures V^E(x₁ = 0.5)/(cm³ mol⁻¹) = 1.882 and 2.093, respectively. The excess heat capacities for both systems are negative and of about the same magnitude as the excess heat capacities of mixtures of fluorobenzene with the same n-alkanes (Roux et al., 1984): C_P^E(x₁ = 0.5)/(J K⁻¹ mol⁻¹) = −1.18 for (x₁C₆F₆ + x₂n-C₇H₁₆), and −2.25 for (x₁C₆F₆ + x₂n-C₁₄H₃₀). The curve C_P^E vs. (x₁ for x₁C₆F₆ + x₂n-C₁₄H₃₀) shows a sort of “hump” for x₁ 0.5, which is presumed to indicate emerging W-shape composition dependence at lower temperatures.     

C94 IPR isomeric set: large-scale computations of relative stabilities based on the Gibbs function

At present C₉₄ is one of the highest sets of isomeric fullerenes that has been characterized by ¹³C NMR spectra. This contribution reports quantum-chemical computations on the C₉₄ system. The complete set of 134 isolated-pentagon-rule isomers of C₉₄ is described by four semiempirical quantum-chemical methods (MNDO, AM1, PM3, and SAM1). The C₉₄ energetics is also checked with Hartree–Fock SCF calculations in the standard 4-31G basis set (HF/4-31G). The calculations point out a C₂ structure as the system ground state. As energetics itself cannot produce reliable relative stabilities at high temperatures, entropy terms are also computed and the relative-stability problem is entirely treated in terms of the Gibbs function. The lowest-energy structure remains the most populated isomer at higher temperatures. However, several other structures show significant populations at higher temperatures. The six most populated species at the AM1 computational level read: C₂, C₂, C₁, C₁, C_s, and C₂. This selected six-membered isomeric set indeed contains the four symmetries observed in the available experiment (C₂, C_s, C₂, and C₂). This incidence represents a good agreement with the experiment and can be viewed as another evidence that the supposed inter-isomeric thermodynamic equilibrium does exist in experiments.

飞秒时间分辨的光电子谱对苯S2态的超快动力学研究

结合飞秒时间分辨的质谱技术与时间分辨的光电子影像技术对苯S₂激发态的超快动力学进行了研究.苯分子吸收两个400 nm的光子被激发到S₂态,之后再用一个267 nm的光子对其进行探测.获得的母体离子产率随泵浦探测时间延迟的变化曲线包含了两个不同的时间寿命组分.第一个时间寿命组分(90 ± 1) fs被归纳为S₂态到S₁/S₀态的内转换过程;第二个时间寿命组分(5.0 ± 0.2) ps被归纳为S₁态的衰减过程.实验中观察到的第二个寿命组分小于早前的研究结果,这表明了在S₁态的衰减过程中还可能存在其他的过程.从时间分辨的光电子影像提取得到的光电子能谱中发现了一个新的失活过程,该过程被归结为激发态S₁的振动态与“热”三重态T₃之间的系间交叉过程.     

Contradictory effect of gold nanoparticle-decorated molybdenum sulfide nanocomposites on amyloid-β-40 aggregation

The effect of gold nanoparticle-decorated molybdenum sulfide (AuNP-MoS₂) nanocomposites on amyloid-β-40 (Aβ₄₀) aggregation was investigated. The interesting discovery was that the effect of AuNP-MoS₂ nanocomposites on Aβ₄₀ aggregation was contradictory. Low concentration of AuNP-MoS₂ nanocomposites could enhance the nucleus formation of Aβ₄₀ peptides and accelerate Aβ₄₀ fibrils aggregation. However, although high concentration of AuNP-MoS₂ nanocomposites could enhance the nucleus formation of Aβ₄₀ peptides, it eventually inhibited Aβ₄₀ aggregation process. It might be attributed to the interaction between AuNP-MoS₂ nanocomposites and Aβ₄₀ peptides. For low concentration of AuNP-MoS₂ nanocomposites, it was acted as nuclei, resulting in the acceleration of the nucleation process. However, the structural flexibility of Aβ₄₀ peptides was limited as the concentration of AuNP-MoS₂ nanocomposites was increased, resulting in the inhibition of Aβ₄₀ aggregation. These findings suggested that AuNP-MoS₂ nanocomposites might have a great potential to design new multifunctional material for future treatment of amyloid-related diseases.     

Molecular structure of 3-methylthiophene studied by gas electron diffraction combined with microwave spectroscopic data

The molecular structure of 3-methylthiophene has been determined by gas electron diffraction (GED) combined with microwave (MW) spectroscopic data. Ab initio calculations at the HF/3–21G* level were carried out and used as structural constraints in the data analysis. The torsional vibration of the methyl group was treated as a large-amplitude motion. The structural parameters were determined to be: r_{g(S---C2) = 1.719(2) Å}, r_{g(C2=C3) = 1.370(3) Å}, r_{g(C3---C6) = 1.497(6) Å}, r_{g(C2---H) = 1.101(5) Å}, CSC = 91.6(2)°, SC₂C₃ = 113.3(5)°, SC₅C₄ = 111.3(3)°, C₂C₃C₆ = 123.2(11)° and C₃C₆H = 112(2)°. The values of r(S---C₂) - r(S=C₅) and r(C₂=C₃)-r(C₄ =C₅) were fixed at the 3–21G* value of 0.002 Å. Parenthesized values are the estimated limits of error (3σ) referring to the last significant digit.     

Kinetic and mechanistic study of the chlorpromazine-hydrogen peroxide reaction for the catalytic spectrophotometric determination of iodide

Extensive kinetic studies were performed to investigate the mechanism of the chlorpromazine (CP)-hydrogen peroxide reaction utilized in the catalytic determination of iodide. This reaction proceeds by two independent, parallel reactions, one through the formation of a red free radical, another directly to form the colorless product. The red color formation is catalyzed by traces of iodide. The color formation reaction was followed by measuring the increase in absorbance at 525 nm and its kinetic investigations were carried out by the initial rate method. The reaction rate curves for colorless sulfoxide formation were obtained by following the increase in absorbance at 335 nm, and the analysis was carried out by the integration method. The disappearance rate of CP is given by -d[CP]dt = k₃[I⁻[H₂O₂][H⁺] + k₆[CP][H₂O₂][H⁺] + k₉[CP][H₂O₂][H⁺] + k₁₀[CP][H₂O₂], where the first and second terms correspond to the chromogenic reaction and the third and fourth to colorless sulfoxide formation. Mechanisms consistent with each term were proposed and analytical implications of the kinetic studies are discussed.

S₁态高振动态的旋轨耦合程度比低振动态的更强,导致系间窜越过程更快.

The effect of electrolyte on ionic surfactant adsorption

For submicellar solutions of ionic surfactants rigorous thermodynamic expressions are presented which show that the surfactant adsorption will not depend on electrolyte concentration c₃ at constant surfactant concentration c₁, if there is no corresponding dependence on c₁ at constant c₃. Results which indicate otherwise are inconsistent with thermodynamics.     

Microwave spectrum and conformation of isopropyl fluoroformate

The microwave spectrum of isopropyl fluoroformate is characterized by intense a-type R-branch transitions from one conformational species. The rotational constants of the ground state, A₀ = 4967.0(8) MHz, B₀ = 1704.69(2) MHz, C₀ = 1468.86(1) MHz and κ = −0.8651(2) are consistent with a τ₁ (O=COC) = 0°, τ₂(COCH) ˜35° structure. This structure can be viewed as a combination of the two conformational species found in ethyl fluoroformate. Two vibrational satellites having rotational constants A₀ = 4963(5) MHz, B₀ = 1694.11(7) MHz. C₀ = 1471.43(4) MHz and A₀=4998(6) MHz, B₀ = 1705.21(7) MHz, C₀ = 1471.10(4) MHz have been assigned.     

Effect of the encapsulating material on the peak3/peak5 response ratio of TLD-300 irradiated with neutrons of various energy

The analysis of experimental data available in the literature shows that the neutron sensitivity ratio m=k₃/k₅ for the two main glow peaks P₃ and P₅ of TLD-300 (for ribbons of 3.2×3.2×0.9 mm³) is dependent upon the response ratio R₃/R₅ of these two peaks. This finding is in agreement with predictions from an equation derived from the two-peak method equations. The result implies that the peak response ratio R₃/R₅ for TLD-300 surrounded by Tissue Equivalent material is independent of the encapsulating material. This is also demonstrated experimentally.     

Latent heat measurements of the smectic A-cholesteric transition on binary mixtures

New differential scanning calorimetry measurements of the smectic A-cholesteric latent heat of transition for binary mixtures of cholesteryl nonanoate (C₉) and cholesteryl heptanoate (C₇), cholesteryl nonanoate and cholesteryl caproate (C₆) are reported for cooling cycles. These measurements give evidence of a tricritical point at approximately the reduced temperature T_SACh/T_Chl ≅ 0·92 for 63·1 mol per cent C₉ in the mixture of C₆ and C₉. This tricritical point occurs at reduced temperatures and concentrations different from those already obtained for heating cycles for the same mixture.     

Solute alignment in liquid crystal solvents The Saupe ordering matrix for anthracene dissolved in uniaxial liquid crystals

We have described a theory for U, the potential of mean torque of rigid solutes at infinite dilution in a uniaxial liquid crystal phase; this may be used to calculate (S_xx - S_yy) and S_zz, the principal elements of the Saupe ordering matrix. In its simplest form U(ω) contains only second-rank terms and the dependence of the biaxiality (S_xx - S_yy) is determined by ω, a parameter which describes the departure of the potential of mean torque from cylindrical symmetry, and is predicted to be temperature independent. If dispersion forces are responsible for the magnitude of the orientational order parameter then ω should be independent of the solvent and depend only on the anisotropy in the electric polarizability of the solute. Indeed, this independence should result for any pair potential which can be factorized into a product of solute and solvent properties. These predictions are tested here by determining values of S_zz and (S_xx - S_yy) for anthracene-d₁₀ as a solute in several liquid crystal solvents, from the quadrupolar splittings obtained from the deuteron N.M.R. spectra. It is found that ω has a strong dependence on the nature of the solvent, which demonstrates that the solute ordering cannot be determined primarily by dispersion forces, or by a factorizable potential. There is also a weaker temperature dependence of λ observed for each binary mixture, and we show how this might be caused by a dependence of ω on solvent ordering, or by the inclusion of a fourth-rank term in U(ω).
