Volumetric properties of glucose in aqueous HCl solutions at temperatures from 278.15 to 318.15 K

Densities have been measured for Glucose + HCl +Water at 10-degree intervals from 278.15 to 318.15 K. The apparent molar volumes (V _Φ,G) and standard partial molar volumes (V _Φ,G ⁰ ) for Glucose in aqueous solution of 0.2, 0.4, 0.7, 1.1, 1.6, 2.1 mol·kg⁻¹ HCl have been calculated as well as volumetric interaction parameters (V _EG) for Glucose — HCl in water and standard partial molar expansion coefficients (∂V _Φ,G ⁰ / ∂T)_p. Results show that (1) the apparent molar volume for Glucose in aqueous HCl solutions increases lineally with increasing molality of Glucose and HCl; (2) V _Φ,G/0 for Glucose in aqueous HCl solutions increases lineally with increasing molality of HCl; (3) the volumetric interaction parameters for Glucose — HCl pair in water are small positive and vary slightly with temperature; (4) the relation between V _Φ,G ⁰ and temperature exists as V _Φ,G ⁰ = a ₀ + a ₁(T − 273.15 K)^2/3; (5) values of (∂V _Φ,G ⁰ / ∂T)_p are positive and increase as temperatures rise, and at given temperatures decrease slightly with increasing molalities of HCl, indicating that the hydration of glucose decreases with increasing temperature and molality of HCl. These phenomena are interpreted successfully by the structure interaction model. Translated from Acta Chimica Sinica, 2006, 64(16): 1635–1641 (in Chinese)     

AB initio estimation of solvation shifts in the vibrational spectra of gold thiocomplexes

Equilibrium geometrical configurations and harmonic vibration frequencies are determined by ab initio quantum chemical methods using the relativistic effective potential for gold in AuSH, Au(SH) ₂ ⁻ , Au(SH)(H₂S), AuSH·(H₂O)_m, and Au(SH) ₂ ⁻ ·(H₂O)₄ molecular systems. Solvation shifts in the vibrational spectra of the gold thiocomplexes are estimated by comparing the data between anhydrous and aqueous complexes. M. V. Lomonosov Moscow State University.

Primärprodukte der Wasserphotolyse bei 1849 Å

Zusammenfassung Die Photolyse des Wassers bei 1849 Å wurde unter Verwendung von 0,01m-Formiat als Fänger für die H-Atome und OH-Radikale untersucht. Dabei diente 5m-Äthanol als Aktinometer mit einem korrigierten Wert für (H₂)=0,50. In diesem Fall wurde eine Quantenausbeute der Wasserphotolyse (H, OH)=0,36±0,01 bestimmt. Bezieht man die exper. Daten auf das N₂O-Aktinometer bei (–N₂O)=1,0, dann ist (H, OH)=0,29±0,01. In diesem Wert ist auch die Quantenausbeute der reaktionsfähigen angeregten Wassermoleküle, die mit Formiat reagieren, inbegriffen. Auf Grund von experimentellen Daten wurde ferner die Bildung von solvatisierten Elektronen (e ^–aq) vorgeschlagen. Durch Sättigung der Formiatlösung mit Kohlensäure, die sowohl vone ^–aq als auch von H₂O^* reduziert werden kann, wurde (e ^–aq, H₂O^*)>0,02<0,04 bestimmt.

Liquid water photolysis at 1849 Å was investigated by using 0,01m-formate as scavenger for the H and OH radicals. 5M-ethyl alcohol serviced as actinometer with a corrected value of (H₂)=0,50. The quantum yield of water photolysis was determined in this case to be (H, OH)=0,36±0,01. When the experimental results are related to N₂O actinometer with (–N₂O)=1,0, a quantum yield of (H, OH)=0,29±0,01 is obtained. This value includes also the quantum yield of the excited water molecules which react with the formate. Based on experimental data the formation of solvated electrons (e ^–aq) is proposed. By saturation of the formate solution with carbon dioxide, which can be reduced bye ^–aq as well as by H₂O^*, (e ^–aq, H₂O^*>0,02<0,04 was determined.

Conductance of the hydroxide ion intert-butyl alcohol-water and 1,4-dioxane-water mixtures

Limiting molar conductances λ_o of potassium hydroxide in 2 to 25 mol%tert-butyl alcohol (TBA)-water mixtures were determined at 25°C as a function of pressure up to 196 MPa. λ_o’s of KOH in (2.5 to 15 mol%) 1,4-dioxane-water mixtures at 25°C and 1 atm were also determined. The excess conductance λ _o ^e of the OH^- ion estimated as [λ _o ^e (OH^-) = λ_o(KOH) - λ_o(KCl)] decreased with an increase in the TBA or dioxane content, as did the excess proton conductance λ _o ^e (H⁺) [λ _o ^e (H⁺) = λ_O(HC1) - λ_o(KCl)]. Although λ _o ^e (OH^-) is smaller than λ _o ^e (H⁺) at all solvent compositions studied, the rate of decrease in λ _o ^e with organic content is larger for the OH^- ion than for the H₃O⁺ ion in both solvent mixtures except in the water-rich region of TBA-water mixtures. λ _o ^e (OH^-) increases with pressure more strongly in TBA-water mixtures than in pure water, and the rate of increase in λ _o ^e (OH^-) with pressure has a maximum at 5 mol% of TBA. These results are discussed in terms of the difference in stability of hydrogen bonds between the OH^- or the H₃O⁺ ion and water molecules and the increase in repulsive forces due to the orientation [H-O O-H] of water molecules in the mixtures.     

Theoretical analysis of the dependence of the vibration spectra of a monosaccharide on the conformation of the hexapyranose ring

Using the molecular mechanics method, we calculated the vibration spectra of methyl-2,6-di-O-acetyl-3,4-anhydro-α-DL-(6,6-²H₂) derivatives of galactopyranoside (G) and talopyranoside (T) molecules, the former in three conformations of the hexapyranose ring (half-chair¹H₀ and⁰H_1dis and also distorted boat^2.5B_dis), and the latter in the E₀+¹H₀ conformation. The sensitivity of vibration frequencies to variations of the hexapyranose ring conformation and to the configuration of the C(2) substituent is analyzed within spectral domains containing specific vibrations.

A conjecture for some partial differential operators on L 2( R n)

OnX =L ²(R ⁿ), letQ = (Q ₁,Q ₂,…,Q _n) andP = (P ₁,P ₂, …,P _n) be the operators given by (Q _jf) (x) =x _jf(x),P _j = - i∂/∂x _j. For anyC ^∞ functionh:R ⁿ →R putH ₀ =h(P) andH =H ₀ + (1 +Q ²)^-δ, where δ > 1/2. By the method of scattering theory we prove thatH _ac, the absolutely continuous part ofH is unitarily equivalent toH ₀ when (a)n = 1 and (b) forn ≥ 2, whenh is in a large class of polynomials. It is conjectured that the results are true for any polynomialh. We use the techniques of Enss’ method and the idea of bound states for momentum.

Electron transfer. 138. Potentials involving chelated chromium(V)

The bis(chelated) complex of Cr^V(0) derived from the dianion (L^{2 −}) of 2-ethyl-2-hydroxybutanoic acid is readily reduced to a bis(chelate of Cr^III, featuring the monoanion (LH⁻) [Cr ^V(0)(L²⁻)₂]⁻+4H⁺+H₂O+2e⁻→[Cr^III(OH₂)₂(LH⁻ ₂]⁺ of this acid. Potentials estimated by Ghosh in 1993 for this 2e⁻ change, E⁰ (pH 0) 1.32 V, E^eff (pH 3.3) 0.93 V, are in accord with the nearly irreversible reductions of the Cr(V) species (in 1∶1 ligand buffer) by Fe²⁺, V0²⁺, IrCl₆ ^{3 −} and I⁻, whereas lower values reported by Bose in 1996, E⁰ (pH 0) 0.84 V, E^eff (pH 3.3) 0.45 V, are potentiometrically inconsistent with these conversions. A similar discrepancy is noted for potentials for Cr(V,IV) estimated in 1996, E⁰ (pH 0) 0.84 V, E^eff (pH 3.3) 0.46 V, which, wholly contrary to observation, predict that the reductions of excess Cr(V) to CR(IV) by Fe²⁺, V0²⁺, and I⁻ are thermodynamically disfavored.     

Electron diffraction study of molecular structure and inversion potential for 1,1-dimethylsilacyclobutane and 1,1,3,3-tetramethyl-1,3-disilacyclobutane

The geometrical parameters for 1,1-dimethylsilacyclobiitane and 1,1,3,3-tetramethyl-13-disilacyclobutune are detemiined by gas phase electron diffraction analysis using a dynamic model, which considers ring inversion as a large-amplitude motion. The structural and potential function parameters were refined with allowance for molecular geometry relaxation estimated by quantum chemical calculations with an HF/6-311G** basis. The potential function of 1,1-dim ethylsilacyclobutane is represented as V(ϕ) = V₀[(ϕ/ϕ_e)² − 1]² with V₀ = 1.3 ± 1.2 kcallmole and ϕ_e = 29.7±4.5°, where ϕ is the ring puckering angle. A more reliable estimate for the height of the barrier (V₀ = 0.56 kcallmole) was obtained by solving the one-dimensional quantum vibrational problem and by fitting the frequency of the 0 →2 transition to the experimental value. For 1,1,3,3-tetram ethyl-1,3-disilacyclobutane, the potential function is adequately represented bx V(ϕ) = Aϕ², where A = (4.9 ± 1.8) · 10⁻⁴ kcall(mole · deg²) with a minimum coiresponding to a planar ring conformation with ϕ = 0°. The calculated structural parameters are compared with the data for related compounds. Translated fromZhumal Struktumoi Khimii. Vol. 41, No. 2, pp. 269–284, March–April, 2000     

Spectrophotometric Studies of the Thermodynamics of Molecular Complexation between Free Base Meso-Tetraarylporphyrins and Iodine(III) Chloride

A spectrophotometric method was used for the molecular complexation of ICl₃ with para-substituted meso-tetraarylporphyrins (H₂t(4-X)pp; X: OCH₃, CH(CH₃)₂, CH₃, H and Cl) in methanol/chloroform (2.5% v/v) solution. The equilibrium constants and the thermodynamic parameters were measured spectrophotometrically at various temperatures for 1:1 molecular complex formation of meso-tetraarylporphyrins as electron donors with ICl₃ as the electron acceptor. The formation constants for the molecular complexes change according to the following trend: [ICl₃(H₂t(4-OCH₃)pp)]>[ICl₃(H₂t(4-CH(CH₃)₂)pp)]>[ICl₃(H₂t(4-CH₃)pp)]>[ICl₃(H₂tpp)]>([ICl₃(H₂t(4-Cl)pp)]. Further, the thermodynamic parameters, ΔG ^o,ΔH ^o and ΔS ^o, for formation of the complexes were obtained.

First and second thermodynamic mixing properties of ethylbenzene +n-alkanes: Experimental and theory

Isobaric expansibilities _P and isothermal compressibilities _T have been determined at 25 and 45°C for binary mixtures of ethylbenzene + n-tetradecane and + n-hexadecane and the corresponding excess functions (V ^E /T)_P and (V ^E /P)_T have also been obtained. With these data and supplementary literature values, the following second order mixing properties are also reported at 25°C: _S ^E , (V ^E /P)_T, C_V and (VT). All mixing quantities have been compared with the results obtained at 25°C by using the Prigogine-Flory-Patterson theory of liquid mixtures. The predicted values suggest that the ability of ethylbenzene as a breaker of the pure n-C_n orientations is similar to what we found for toluene and higher than for p-xylene.     

Thermodynamics of phenylated polyphenylene between 0 and 340 K

In an adiabatic vacuum calorimeter, the temperature dependence of the heat capacity C _p of phenylated polyphenylene and initial comonomer 1,4-bis(2,4,5-triphenylcyclopentadienone-3-yl)benzene was studied between 6 and 340 K with an uncertainty of about 0.2%. In a calorimeter with a static bomb and an isothermal shield their energies of combustion DUcomb were measured. From the experimental data, the thermodynamic functions C _p ⁰ (T), H ⁰(T)-H ⁰(0), S ⁰(T)-S⁰(0), G ⁰(T)-H ⁰(0) were calculated from 0 to 340 K, and standard enthalpies of combustion ΔH _comb ⁰ and thermodynamic parameters of formation-enthalpies ΔH _f ⁰, entropies ΔH _f ⁰, Gibbs functions ΔG _f ⁰ - of the substances studied were estimated at T=298.15 K at standard pressure. The results were used to calculate the thermodynamic characteristics (ΔH _f ⁰ ,ΔS _f ⁰, ΔG _f ⁰) of phenylated polyphenylene synthesis in the range from 0 to 340 K.

Dissociative Excitation of C2H2 in the Electron Cyclotron Resonance Plasma of Ar: Production of CH(A2Δ) Radicals and Formation of Hydrogenated Amorphous Carbon Films

The dissociative excitation reaction of C₂H₂ with the electron-cyclotron resonance plasma of Ar was investigated based on the electrostatic-probe measurements and on the optical emission spectroscopy of the CH(A²Δ–X²Π) transition. The density, n _e, and the temperature, T _e, of free electrons were controlled by adding H₂O molecules externally into the reaction region, and the dependence of the CH(A²Δ–X²Π) emission intensity on the addition of H₂O was observed to compare with the evaluated dependencies based on n _e and T _e. The mechanism of production of CH(A²Δ) was found, predominantly, to be the electron impact with the contribution of 10–20% of the electron-impact dissociation of C₂H radicals; the contribution of the ion–electron recombination was negligible. Hydrogenated amorphous carbon films were fabricated using the same reaction system. The atomic compositions, Raman spectra, and the hardness of films were discussed in terms of the variations of n _e and T _e upon the addition of H₂O molecules.     

Studies on the series of azoles and azines. 65. Mass spectra of 5-arylidene-, 5-ethoxycarbonylmethylene-hydantoins and their derivatives

The mass spectra of 5-m- and p-substituted benzylidenehydantoins, their thio analogs and 5-carbethoxymethylenehydantoins with a substituent at the -carbon atom of the side chain were studied. The fragmentation of the molecular ions of 5-arylidenehydantoins proceeds in one direction, splitting of the X=C-NR-C=O fragment, irrespective of the substituent in the benzene ring. The peak intensity of the fragmentary ions formed from the molecular ions is linearly dependent on the -constants of the substituent. The direction of the fragmentation of 5-ethoxycarbonylmethylenehydantoins markedly depends on the substituent at the -carbon atom in the side chain that determines the stability of the hydantoin ring and the carboethoxyl group. The fragmentation of these compounds under electron impact proceeds by five paths, related to splitting of fragments O=C₍₂₎NCH₍₄₎=O, C₂H₄, C₂H₅O, C₂H₅OH, and COOC₂H₅.See [1] for Communication 64.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 5, pp. 625–631, May, 1988.     

Reversible sorption of hydrogen by colloidal palladium in aqueous solutions

Colloidal palladium was prepared by -irradiation or by H₂ reduction of Pd(NH₃)₄l₂ in aqueous solutions containing sodium polyacrylate as a stabilizer. The sots contain spherical particles 2–4 nm in diameter. Their optical spectra contain a band at 230 nm ( = 6.1 · 10³ L mol^–1 cm^–1) smoothly descending toward the visible range. The sots reversibly absorb chemically from 0.35 to 0.15 g-mol of H₂ per g-atom of Pd. The spectra of ultrafine metal particles saturated with molecular hydrogen exhibit an absorption band at 265 nm ( = 4.5 · 10³ L mol^–1 cm^–1). One-electron reduction of methylviologen by hydrogen is catalyzed by the colloidal palladium prepared.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.
