Kinetics of O2(a1Deltag) and I(2P1/2) in the photochemistry of N2O/I2 mixtures

The recent demonstration of a discharge-driven oxygen-iodine laser has generated renewed interest in the kinetics of iodine interacting with electronically excited O2 and atomic O. Kinetic measurements that are of relevance to the laser have been carried out using 193 nm pulsed laser photolysis of N2O/I2/CO2 mixtures. Singlet oxygen was generated in this system by the reaction O(1D)+N2O-->O2(a1Deltag, X3Sigma-g)+N2. The fraction of electronically excited O2 produced by this channel was shown to be >0.9. The secondary photochemistry of the N2O/I2/CO2 system was characterized by monitoring the time histories of I(2P1/2), I2, IO, and O2(a). Kinetic modeling of these data was used to determine the rate constant for the deactivation of I(2P1/2) by O(3P) (k=(1.2+/-0.1)x10(-11) cm3 s(-1)). Quenching of I(2P1/2) by O(3P) is suppressed in the discharge-driven laser by using NO2 to scavenge the O atoms. The reaction O(3P)+NO2-->O2+NO is sufficiently exothermic for the production of O2(a), and it has been speculated that this channel may be significant in the laser excitation kinetics. Photolysis of NO2 was used to probe this reaction. O2(a) was not detected, and an upper bound of <0.1 for its production in the reaction of O(3P) or O(1D) with NO2 was established.

Decontamination factors of a number of elements in the substoichiometric extraction of Tl/I/ were also obtained.     

Quenching of I (2P1/2) by halogen cyanides

Relaxation rate constants for the collisional deactivation of I (²P_1/2) by halogen cyanides were measured by time resolved atomic absorption. The values obtained were (1.2 ± 0.1) × 10^?15, (5.2 ± 0.7) × 10^?15, and (2.6 ± 0.4) × 10^?14 cm³ molecule^?1 s^?1 for ClCN, BrCN, and ICN, respectively. Quenching efficiencies are discussed in view of the stability of linear molecules to form the transient complex as well as the similarities assumed between halogen cyanides and interhalogen diatomic molecules.

Tensor polarizabilities of the (nd+(n+1)s)3 2 D 3/2,5/2 levels in Sc I,Y I,La I and Lu I

A technique based on the detection of nonlinear level-crossing resonances in parallel electric and magnetic fields has been extended to the study of the Stark splittings in the hyperfine levels of the ground multiplets (nd+(n+1)s)^{3 2} D _3/2,5/2 in Sc I, Y I, La I, and Lu I. Values of the tensor polarizabilities of thend electrons were evaluated from the experimental results. The variation of the tensor polarizabilities of thend electrons in the configurations under study is discussed. Trends of the polarizabilities in different configurations are compared. The ratio between the electric quadrupole constant and the tensor polarizabilities is constant in La and different in Lu, which is caused by a breakdown of the central field model.     

Deactivation of I(52P1/2) by CF3I,CH3I,C2H5I,and CH4

FTIR study of the DMS/NO2/I2/N2 photolysis system: The reaction of IO radicals with DMS

A steady-state system involving the photolysis of NO₂ in an excess of I₂ as a source of IO radicals has been used to study the reaction IO + DMS in 760 Torr N₂ at 296 K. IO radicals were found to react rapidly with DMS, one molecule of DMSO being produced for each molecule of DMS consumed. Numerical analysis of the experimental results yielded a rate constant of (3.0 ± 1.5) × 10^?11 cm³ s^?1 for the reaction IO + DMS → DMSO + I.     

Vibrational spectrum of I(H2O)

The infrared spectrum of the ionic cluster I⁻(H₂O) was recorded from 3170 to 3800 cm⁻¹ by vibrational predissociation spectroscopy. A strong multiplet observed at 3415 cm⁻¹ and a narrow band at 3710 cm⁻¹ were assigned as a hydrogen-bonded OH stretch and free OH stretch respectively, indicating that H₂O forms a single hydrogen bond with the iodide anion. Ab initio vibrational frequencies and intensities were computed at the second-order Møller-Plesset (MP2) level for the minimum energy configuration, a nearly linear hydrogen-bonded isomer, and for a low-lying saddlepoint, a symmetric C_2v bridged isomer. The spectrum predicted for the hydrogen-bonded isomer agreed well with experiment.

Diethylzinc/metal salt initiator systems. I. Stereospecific polymerization of N-vinylcarbazole by ZnEt2/CoCl2-quinoline

In the presence of ZnEt₂ the CoCl₂-quinoline complex polymerizes NVC with a rate increasing with ZnEt₂ and CoCl₂-Q concentrations up to a certain concentration of ZnEt₂ or CoCl₂-Q, thereafter becoming independent of either. At a fixed concentration of ZnEt₂ and CoCl₂-Q the rate is second order with respect to NVC. The poly(NVC) obtained is freely soluble in benzene but leaves some insoluble fraction in methyl ethyl ketone, which has been characterized by ¹³C-NMR to be a stereoblock polymer. X-ray diffraction, IR, and thermal characteristics of the polymer have also been reported. [η] is virtually independent of monomer, in the concentration range 0.1–0.25 mol/L ZnEt₂ and CoCl₂-Q concentrations. Oxygen as an additive inhibits the polymerization. A cationic coordination mechanism has been proposed and appropriate rate and degree of polymerization equations have been suggested.     

Yield of I(2Psol:12) in the photodissociation of CH2I2

The production of I(²P_{$\text{1}\text{2}$}) in the photolysis of CH₂I₂ has been studied optoacoustically at excitation wavelengths between 365.5 and 247.5 nm. Bands found at 32200 and 47000 cm^?1 correlate with I(²P_{$\text{3}\text{2}$}) whilst those at 34700 and 40100 cm^?1, which correlate with I(²P_{$\text{1}\text{2}$}), give final ²P_{$\text{3}\text{2}$}/²P_{$\text{1}\text{2}$} ratios of 1.75 and 1.1, respectively, after curve crossing.     

Photosystem I/molecular wire/metal nanoparticle bioconjugates for the photocatalytic production of H2

Photosystem I (PS I) is a robust photosynthetic complex that adeptly captures photons to create a charge-separated state with a quantum efficiency that approaches 1.0. This charge-separated state is stable for approximately 100 ms, and the low-potential reductant that is produced is poised at a redox potential favorable for H2 evolution. PS I has been covalently linked to Pt and Au nanoparticle surfaces by 1,6-hexanedithiol which serves as a molecular wire to both connect PS I to the particles and transfer electrons from the terminal electron transfer cofactor of PS I, FB, to the nanoparticle. Illumination of these Photosystem I/molecular wire/nanoparticle bioconjugates is able to catalyze the reaction: 2H+ + 2e(-)--> H2. Transfer of the electrons from PS I to the nanoparticle through the molecular wire is not rate-limiting for H2 evolution. Supplying the system with more efficient donor-side electron donating species results in a 5-fold increase in the rate of H2 evolution.

The effect of the components of the PdCl2/Fe/I2/Py catalytic system on nitrobenzene carbonylation to ethyl N-phenylcarbamate

The PdCl₂/Fe/I₂/Py catalytic system (Py-pyridine), reported to be highly active in the reaction of nitrobenzene carbonylation to ethyl phenylcarbamate was studied. The present paper describes the role of catalyst components and its effect on the activity and selectivity of the catalyst. The increase in the amount of PdCl₂ in the system while retaining a constant level of the other catalyst components, results in the increase of both carbamate and aniline yields. The increase in the amount of iron while retaining the other components constant, initially causes an increase in the carbamate yield; however, at Fe: Pd ratios higher than 36, the carbamate yield remains constant. The change in the amount of iron has no effect on the amount of aniline formed in the system. An increase in the amount of iodine in the system while retaining the other components constant, results in a decrease in carbamate yield and a considerable increase in the aniline yield of the reaction products.
