Kinetics and mechanism of redox reactions of U(III) ions with 2-chloro and 2-bromopropanoic acids

The kinetics and mechanism of redox reactions of U³⁺ ions with 2-chloro and 2-bromopropanoic acids were studied. The influence of pH led to the determination of the rate constants corresponding to two parallel steps. The influence of binary mixtures on the reaction rate was followed. The kinetic results for halogen-substituted carboxylic acids forming an isokinetic series have been compared.

Adsorption calorimetric studies of copper(I) halides

Adsorption properties of CuBr and CuI with respect to O₂ and CO₂ at 298 K have been examined. Two forms of CO₂ adsorption with adsorption heats of q=28 and 10 kJ/mol for CuBr and q=14 and 9 kJ/mol for CuI have been found. Low values of the adsorption entropy indicate the high mobility of CO₂ molecules in the adsorption layer.

The applicability of sodium hypobromite as a reagent in enthalpimetric determinations of various organic and inorganic compounds is reviewed. Using this method it is possible to determine various oxidizable nitrogen and sulphur compounds, e.g. ammonium salts, urea, -amino acids, sulphides, sulphites, thiosulphates, organic compounds with sulphidic sulphur, aromatic amines, mono- and polyphenols, and other compounds.

Effect of pretreatment in benzene hydrogenation on Pt/nylon catalyst

Benzene hydrogenation on Pt/nylon catalyst produced cyclohexene and cyclohexane, in contrast to Pt/SiO₂ on which only cyclohexane was detected. Higher selectivity to cyclohexene was found at higher temperature and after air pretreatment. It is suggested that an oxidized platinum species is responsible for cyclohexene formation.

Thermoanalytical and mössbauer spectroscopic studies of phase transformations of amorphous chromium hydroxide

To establish the structures of the phase transformation products of amorphous chromium hydroxide and the region of their stability, the thermally initiated transformations were studied at normal and reduced pressure (0.133 Pa) by differential thermal analysis, Mössbauer spectroscopy (on admixed⁵⁷Fe atoms) and X-ray diffraction phase analysis.At reduced pressure the region of stability of amorphous chromium oxide formed during hydroxide dehydration is wider.The Mössbauer shift of admixed⁵⁷Fe atoms in amorphous chromium hydroxide is characteristic of Fe³⁺, but the magnitude of the quadrupole splitting considerably exceeds those for simple and compound iron oxides and oxide-hydroxides. From this, it can be concluded that the symmetry of the local environment of the chromium atoms in amorphous chromium hydroxide is anomalously low.

Zusammenfassung Um die Struktur der Umwandlungsprodukte des amorphen Chrom(III)-oxids und seinen Existenzbereich zu ermitteln, wurden die thermischen Umwandlungen bei normalem und vermindertem Druck (0,133 Pa) durch DTA, Mössbauer-Spektroskopie (an zugesetzten⁵⁷Fe-Atomen) und Röntgenbeugungs-Phasenanalyse untersucht. Unter vermindertem Druck wird der Stabilitätsbereich des bei der Entwässerung des Hydroxids gebildeten amorphen Chrom(III)-oxids erweitert. Die Mössbauer-Verschiebung von zugesetzten⁵⁷Fe-Atomen in amorphem Chrom(III)-oxid ist charakteristisch für Fe³⁺, die Quadrupol-Aufspaltung übertrifft die für einfache und komplexe Eisenoxide und -oxid-hydroxide beträchtlich. Daraus wird geschlossen, dass die Symmetrie der Umgebung der Chromatome im amorphen Chrom(III)-oxid ungewöhnlich niedrig ist.

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.

TMA as a method of investigation of the phase structure of segmented polyurethanes

A complex of methodical approaches for investigating structural changes under the influence of temperature are presented on the basis of modern concepts of the domain structure of block copolymers. Effects of formation of structure due to phase segregation, crystallization processes and those of thermal homogenization have been considered in connection with the deformational properties of polymers. One and the same polymer appears to have quite different phase structures and properties when obtained by altering its thermal conditions. Thermomechanical analysis is shown to be a most efficient technique for investigating the changes in the phase structure of a wide series of polyether(ester)urethanes and -urethaneureas.

Das gleiche Polymer scheint ganz verschiedene Phasenstrukturen und Eigenschaften zu haben, wenn es unter veränderten thermischen Bedingungen erhalten wird. Es wird gezeigt, dass die thermomechanische Analyse eine sehr wirksame Technik zur Untersuchung der Phasenstrukturänderungen einer ganzen Reihe von Polyäther(ester)urethanen und -urethankarbamiden ist.
