A TPR study of SiO2-supported Ru?Ag catalysts

A H₂ chemisorption and TPR study of Ru–Ag/SiO₂ catalysts reveals that after oxidation at 373 K this systems behaves like Ru–Cu/SiO₂. High temperature oxidation, however, does not result in the separation of the metal like in the Ru–Cu case but in the redispersion of Ag on top of the Ru particles.

Solute-solvent interactions in acid-base dissociation: Seven protonated nitrogen bases in water-N-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone solvents

Acidic dissociation constants of seven protonated nitrogen bases, namely Bis-tris, 2-aminopyridine, Tris, morpholine, 2-amino-2-methyl-1,3-propanediol,n-butylamine, andt-butylamine, have been determined at 15, 25, and 35° C in mixtures of water andN-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone (NM2Py). The mole fractions of cosolvent were 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, and 0.8. Glass and silver-silver chloride electrodes were used in a cell without liquid junction, and both the ionic strength and molality of chloride ion remained substantially constant in all of the measurements. The pK _a of all the protonated bases decreases initially and passes through a minimum as the aqueous solvent is enriched with NM2Py. The order of acidic strengths is the same as in the H₂O-dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) solvent system, but the pK _a values are all lower by up to 2 units. NM2Py appears to be a more basic solvent than DMSO or H₂O.On leave 1973–1975 from the University of Gdask, Poland.

Electrophilic condensation of 1-hydroperfluoropropylene and 1-hydroperfluoro-1-butene with fluoroethylenes

Conclusions 1-Hydroperfluoropropylene reacts with tetrafluoroethylene in the presence of SbF₅ to form the corresponding 11 and 12 adduct olefins. The condensation is accomplished at both the CFH and CF₂ groups of the starting propylene. Under analogous conditions, 1-hydroperfluoro-1-butene condenses with fluoroethylenes exclusively at the CFH group.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 7, pp. 1591–1594, July, 1982.     

Reduction of dialkoxydihydrofurans,dialkoxytetrahydrofurans, dialkoxydihydropyrans,and dialkoxytetrahydropyrans with LiAlH4 AlCl3 complex

The reduction of 2,5-dimethoxytetrahydrofurans, 2,5-dimethoxydihydrofurans, 2,6-dialkoxytetrahydropyrans, and 2,6-dialkoxydihydropyrans with mixtures of LiAlH₄ and AlCl₃ with various component ratios (31, 11, and 13) proceeds with ring opening and the formation of aliphatic -alkoxy alcohols. Hydrogenolysis of 2,5-dimethoxy-2,5-dihydrofuran and 2,6-dialkoxy-³-dihydropyrans is accompanied by a partial reduction of the double bond and the formation of unsaturated alkoxy alcohols and their saturated analogs. A possible mechanism for the hydrogenolysis is discussed.Translated from Khimiya, Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 6, pp. 743–747, June, 1972.

Kinetics of chlorine isotope exchange reaction between sodium chloride-36 and triphenyltin chloride in mixed solvents

Isotope exchange reaction between NaCl-36 and triphenyltin chloride in dioxane-water (8020% w/w) and ethanol-water (9010% w/w) mixed solvents has been studied at 25, 35 and 50 °C. The exchange reaction was found to proceed via a bimolecular S_N2, limiting mechanism with reaction rates depending on the solvent used. Inhibition of the exchange in ethanol-water is probably due to solvation of chloride ion through hydrogen bond formation. The rate laws for the exchange reactions are: R_e=3.24×10⁹ e^–65550/RT [Rh₃SnCl] [NaCl] in dioxanewater and R_e=6.61×10⁸ e^–69600/RT [Ph₃SnCl] [NaCl] in ethanol-water, where is the degree of dissociation of NaCl and R_e is the rate of exchange in mol l^–1 s^–1. The activation parameters H^*, S^* and G^* are reported.     

Extraction-spectrophotometric determination of iron with 2-(2′-benzothiazolylazo)-4,6-dimethylphenol

An extraction-spectrophotometric method for the determination of trace amounts of iron based on its extraction into chloroform with 2-(2-benzothiazolylazo)-4,6-dimethylphenol (BTADMP) from a pH 6.5 medium has been developed. The extracted 12 FeBTADMP complex species allow the determination of 4–30gmg of iron (=3.92×10⁴1·mol^–1·cm^–1 at 790 nm). The method is highly selective and has been applied to the determination of iron in polymineral-polyvitamin pharmaceutical products.     

Quantitative electron-probe microanalysis of light elements: Determination ofa-Si∶C∶N∶O∶H insulating films

Amorphous SiCNOH films (1–3 m) are studied by EPMA after deposition of gold (1–5 nm) as a conductive coating. Its influence on thek-ratios (X-ray intensity relative to an uncoated standard) of silicon, carbon, nitrogen and oxygen is described as a linear function of the simultaneously determinedk-ratio of gold. Thek-ratios representing the uncoated specimen are obtained by extrapolation and, in combination with the PAP matrix correction model, quantitative EPMA can be performed with an analytical error of 2–5%, as it is demonstrated by samples of SiC, Si₃N₄ and SiO₂. No systematic shift of the concentrations is observed for layers ofa-SiCNOH determined at various electron energies of 5–12.5 keV. Hydrogen is calculated by difference and the concentrations prove to be a useful estimate in agreement with the results of chemical analysis. Si-K/Si-K spectra recorded on organo-silicon films and binary silicon compounds point out significant differences concerning the formation of Si-C, Si-N and Si-O chemical bonds.     

BISPHENYLENECOSAN as highly selective Cs+ extraction agent

The choice of organic solvent and solubilizer, dependence of distribution ratio of Cs⁺ on acidity and other parameters are studied. The extraction mechanism based on selective binding of Cs⁺ cation between two phenylene rings is presented and factors influencing the chemical stability of the reagent are determined.     

Characterization of modified alumina as adsorbents. Modification of alumina with alkali metal phosphates

Summary Alumina may be considerably modified by impregnating at 100°C in the alkali metal phosphate solution. The available solution for modification was the KOH–K₂HPO₄–AlPO₄ (11.51M) solution or the NaOH–Na₂ HPO₄ (0.81.1 M or 11.5M) solution. The appreciable improvement on chromatograms was obtained by preheating of the alumina, especially above 800°C prior to impregnating A further modification may be made by ignition of the alumina impregnated. The x-ray diffraction studies revealed the phase transformation of the alumina inducing the modification, and the essential factor of the present modification method being the thermal treatment of the alumina at temperatures forming -alumina.     

The decomposition of iron(III) sulfate in air

The decomposition of initially hydrated powders of iron(III) sulfate was carried out in air over the temperature range 823–923 K. The decomposition process, which gave Fe₂O₃ as a solid product, was seen to have zero-order kinetics and an activation energy of 219 kJ·mol^–1. The nature of the product and the kinetics of decomposition were the same for samples decomposed in air and in argon. Sulfate samples with additives of FeS and Fe₂O₃ were also decomposed under similar conditions and the results confirmed the zero-order kinetics (for the case of the Fe₂O₃ additives) and the lack of effect of FeS on the decomposition of iron(III) sulfate.

Zusammenfassung Anfänglich hydratiertes Eisen(III)-sulfatpulver wurde in Luft im Temperaturbereich 823–923 K zersetzt. Für die Reaktionsordnung des Zersetzungsprozesses, der als Endprodukt festes Fe₂O₃ lieferte, wurde Null und für die Aktivierungsenergie 219 kJ·mol^–1 ermittelt. Die Art des Produktes und der Kinetik der Zersetzung war in Luft und Argon gleich. Unter den gleichen Bedingungen wurden auch Sulfatproben mit Zusätzen von FeS und Fe₂O₃ zersetzt. Die Ergebnisse bekräftigen sowohl die nullte Reaktionsordnung (im Falle von Fe₂O₃ Zusätzen) als auch einen fehlenden Einfluß von FeS auf die Zersetzung von Eisen(III)-sulfat.
