Thermal analysis of 1-Hydroxiethylidenediphosphonic acid and its salts

1-Hydroxyethylidenediphosphonic acid and its tetrasubstitutcd Li, Na, K, Rb, NH₄, Ca and Ba salts were synthcsized and their thermal behaviour was studied under non-isothermal conditions by simultaneous TG-DTG-DTA at 20–1000 C. The following thermal transformations were observed: loss of crystallization water, melting in the case of the acid, and intramolecular dehydration in the case of the salts, leading to the corresponding unsaturated derivatives. From the free acid, its acidic salts and the neutral ammonium salt, long-chain polycondensates are formed through intermolecular dehydration.

Ihr thermisches Verhalten wurde durch simultane TG-DTG-DTA unter nichtisothermen Bedingungen bei 20–1000 C untersucht. Folgende thermische Umwandlungen wurden beobachtet: Verlust von Kristallwasser, Schmelzen (nur bei der freien Säure), intramolekulare Wasserabspaltung (nur bei den Salzen) zu ungesättigten Verbindungen. Die freie Säure, die sauren Salze und das neutrale Ammoniumsalz bilden unter intermolekularer Wasserabspaltung langkettige Polykondensate.

Mischligandenderivate des 1:1-Th(IV)—DTPA-Chelates mit Milchs?ure, Mandels?ure und o-Hydroxynaphthoes?uren

Potentiometric studies of the mixed ligand derivatives of 11-Th(IV)—DTPA chelate (whereDTPA=diethylene-triamine pentaacetic acid) with certain secondary ligands, such as lactic, mandelic and o-hydroxynaphthoic acids have been carried out. The pH-titrations of the reaction mixtures containing 111 molar ratio of metal ion toDTPA to secondary ligand have shown the formation of 111 ternary complexes at higher pH (8). The equilibrium constants of the resulting mixed complexes have been determined at 30±1°C and =0.1 (KNO₃) and the order of stability in terms of secondary ligands has been found to be o-hydroxy naphthoic acids>mandelic acid>lactic acid.     

Pressure-jump method in the dehydrogenation of propane over chromia-alumina-potassium oxide

The pressure-jump method was applied to the dehydrogenation of C₃H₈ over a Cr₂O₃–Al₂O₃–K₂O catalyst in a closed static reactor at 443°C. The rate equation proposed for initial kinetics was shown to apply to the dehydrogenation of C₃H₈.

Kinetics and mechanism of the ligand substitution reaction of aquodiethylenetriaminepentaacetatoruthenate (III) in aqueous solution

The kinetics of ligand substitution reactions of [Ru(H₂dtpa) (H₂O)] (2) (H₂dtpa=diprotonated diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid) were studied as a function of ligand (L) concentration, pH (2.5–8.0) and temperature (30–45 °C) at 0.2 M ionic strength. The equilibrium constants for the formation of mixed ligand complex [Ru^III(dtpa) (L)] (L=2-mercaptopyrimidine, cysteine) and the distribution of various species in solution in the pH range of 2.5–8.0 were computed from potentiometric results.

Hydrogenation of toluene over Pt and Pt?Cu alloys in NaY

The hydrogenation of toluene is performed over small Pt and Pt–Cu particles in a NaY zeolite. For toluene hydrogenation the T.O.N. of Pt and Pt alloyed with Cu are very different at room temperature but at high temperature (530 K) they are of the same order of magnitude.

2-Spiroanellated 1,3-Benzodioxoles from the Reaction of 2,3-Dihydro-1 H-pyrrol-3-ones with Tetrachloro-1,2-benzoquinone

Novel spiro[1,3-benzodioxole-2,2-(2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrrol-3-ones)] were obtained from 2-aminomethylene-2,3-dihydropyrrol-3(1H)-ones and tetrachloro-1,2-benzoquinone in ethanol at room temperature. However, in addition, 3,4-dichloro-7-methoxy-5-(4-methoxyphenyl)-5,10-dihydrophenazine-1,2-dione was formed in the reaction of 1-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-(4-methoxyphenylaminomethylene)-4,5-diphenyl-1,2-dihydropyrrol-3-one with tetrachloro-1,2-benzoquinone.     

Fluorescence Quenching Studies of Curcumin by Hydrogen Peroxide in Acetonitrile Solution

Steady state quenching studies of curcumin, 1,7-bis(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-1,6-heptadiene-3,5-dione, fluorescence by hydrogen peroxide were conducted in acetonitrile solution. A quenching rate constant, k_q, of 1.05×10¹⁰M^–1·s^–1 was obtained with a short fluorescence lifetime of 347ps. The reaction rate constant, which is within the diffusion-limited regime, is activation-controlled. The rate constant of deactivation of the thermally excited curcumin was 1.2 orders of magnitude more nonradiative (2.67×10⁹s^–1) than radiative (2.16×10⁸s^–1). The reaction was exothermic with a G° of –1.97eV and solvent reorganization energy of 1.37eV. These values indicate that the electron transfer reaction is solvent-mediated with electron transfer rate constant, k_ET, of 2.16×10¹⁰s^–1.

Improved activity and selectivity in carbon-oxygen double bond hydrogenation with Ru/TiO2

Ru/TiO₂ hydrogenates the carbonyl function with priority to other unsaturated parts in the molecule as opposed to Ru/SiO₂. This is connected with an increase in activity towards carbonyl hydrogenation.

Comparison of properties of supported organozirconium catalysts containing zirconium ions in different valence states

A comparison of the properties of supported zirconium catalysts containing zirconium ions in different valence states in ethylene polymerization shows that an increase in the proportion of active centers involving Zr(III) ions results in a decreasing molecular weight of the polymer. The catalyst activity is practically unchanged.

Exciton Chirality. (A) Origins of and (B) Applications from Strongly Fluorescent Dipyrrinone Chromophores

(A) The origin of exciton interaction and examples of its application to organic stereochemistry are presented. (B) N,N-Carbonyl-bridged dipyrrinones constitute a new class of highly fluorescent chromophores suitable for investigations of stereochemistry and absolute configuration. N,N-Carbonylxanthobilirubic acid esters are strongly fluorescent, with a fluorescence quantum yield (_F) 0.8, but produce only weak exciton CD from the trans-1,2-cyclohexanediol template. The ester of an analog with benzoic acid replacing propionic, N,N-carbonyl-8-(4-carboxyphenyl)-3-ethyl-2,7,9-trimethyl-(10H)-dipyrrin-1-one, exhibits strong fluorescence (_F=0.68, _em=493nm, _ex=422nm in CHCl₃) and UV-Vis absorption (21000 at 424nm) in organic solvents. Its diester with (1S,2S)-cyclohexanediol is fluorescent and exhibits exciton circular dichroism (=+15dm³·mol^–1·cm^–1, =432nm; =–4dm³·mol^–1cm^–1, =380nm) that correlates with the Exciton Chirality Rule.     

Kinetic studies of methylmercaptan production from dimethyl sulfide and H2S

Kinetic regularities of methylmercaptan production from dimethyl sulfide and H₂S in the presence of -Al₂O₃ have been studied under gradientless conditions. A stepwise reaction mechanism is suggested implying that the catalyst surface is methoxylated by methyl sulfide and then CH₃O groups interact with H₂S. The kinetic equation obtained describes fairly well this process on the nonhomogeneous catalyst surface. H₂S -Al₂O₃. , , CH₃O- H₂S. , .

The phase diagram of the SnI₂-CuI system was determined by the method of thermal analysis. No intermediates were found. It is suggested that limiting solid solutions of SnI₂ in-CuI,-CuI and-CuI, respectively, are formed. The eutectic point parameters (32.7 mol% CuI, 270.4 ±0.1 °C) and those of two invariant points (64.0 mol% CuI, 385.3 ±0.5 °C and 61.5 mol% CuI, 366.6±0.2 °C), corresponding to the equilibria+liquid and+liquid , respectively, were determined.Mittels Thermoanalyse wurde das Phasendiagramm SnI₂-CuI bestimmt.

Ab Initio Study of Prednisolone, 6α-Fluoroprednisolone, 9α-Fluoroprednisolone,and 6α,9α-Difluoroprednisolone

A theoretical study of prednisolone, 6-fluoroprednisolone, 9-fluoroprednisolone, and 6,9-difluoroprednisolone has been performed at the ab initio HF/6-31G, MP2/6-31G, and B3LYP/6-31G levels. Structural information and the electronic features of prednisolone and its derivatives and the synergistic effect of 6,9-difluoroprednisolone was examined. Contrary to the AM1 and MNDO results, we found 9-fluoroprednisolone is more stable than the 6-fluoroprednisolone. The increased corticosteroid activity of the 6,9-difluoroprednisolone is most likely due to electronic effects, mainly related to the receptor binding.
