Electrical conductivity of liquid and film polymer composites filled with anion-radical salts in the presence of crown ethers

In the example of alkali metal tetracyanoquinodimethanides (M⁺TCQDM), a study has been made of the influence of resonance charge exchange on the conductivity () of polymer composites filled with anion-radical salts. When neutral molecules TCQDM⁰ are introduced into such systems, this leads to an increase in as a result of the lower activation energy of jumps between states TCQDM and TCQDM⁰. The addition of molecules of crown ethers has an analogous effect: They favor the appearance in the polymer matrix (the same as in solution) of TCQDM molecules in different charge states (TCQDM⁰, TCQDM) with migration of the cation within the limits of ternary associates (CE...M⁺...A) that are formed in systems for which the ratio of the crown ether cavity diameter to the cation diameter 1.4. Symbaticity has been found in the dependences of the electrical conductivity of films and the limiting mobility of solutions with the same composition on the parameter .Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Éksperimental'naya Khimiya, Vol. 25, No. 4, pp. 446–452, July–August, 1989.     

Kinetics and mechanism of OsO4 catalyzed oxidation of chalcones by Ce4 in aqueous acetic sulfuric acid media

Kinetics of OsO₄ catalyzed oxidation of chalcones by Ce⁴⁺ has been studied in aqueous acetic-sulfuric acid medium in the temperature range 313 to 338 K. The order in [oxidant] is zero while the order with respect to [substrate] and [catalyst] are each fractional. The rate of the reaction decreased with increase in percentage of acetic acid while [H⁺] had practically no effect on the rate The rates of various substituted chalcones (with substituents in the phenyl. ring attached to the moiety) are in the orderp-CH₃>m-CH₃>H>p-Cl>m-Cl>m-NO₂>p-NO₂. A mechanism in which formation of a cyclic ester between chalcone and OsO₄ in a fast step followed by its decomposition in a rate-determining step is envisaged.

Infrared spectra of nitric oxide adsorbed on photoreduced V/SiO2 catalyst

Studies of the IR spectra of surface species produced via NO adsorption on selectively photoreduced V/SiO₂ catalysts indicate that at low coverages NO is adsorbed on V³⁺ ions to form strongly bonded mononitrosyl species V³⁺...... NO. With increasing NO coverage, V³⁺ is oxidized to V⁴⁺, which is accompanied by the appearance of gaseous N₂O and weak adsorption of NO on V⁴⁺.

Effects of drying conditions on thermal decomposition behaviour of UO3 gel microspheres

The effects of the drying conditions on the thermal behaviour of UO₃ gel microspheres were studied by TG, DTA and X-ray examination. The effects of drying with air, steam or alcohol on the crystal structure and crystallite size were also studied. The results indicate that the thermal decomposition of UO₃ gel microspheres involves five steps: the first two for dehydration, the third for ammonia release, the fourth for ammonia oxidation, and the last one for UO₃ recrystallization. It was also found that the crystal growth varied from 110 Å after air drying to 512 Å and 496 Å after steam and alcohol treatment, respectively.

Zusammenfassung Die Effekte der Trocknungsbedingungen auf das thermische Verhalten von UO₃-Gelmikrokugeln wurden mittels TG, DTA und Röntgenanalyse untersucht. Ebenfalls wurden die Auswirkungen der Trocknung mit Luft, Dampf und Alkohol auf die Kristallstruktur und die Kristallitgröße untersucht. Die Ergebnisse deuten darauf hin, daß die thermische Zersetzung der UO₃-Gelmikrokugeln in 5 Schritten verläuft: die ersten zwei sind Dehydratisierungsprozessen, der dritte der Freisetzung und der vierte der Oxydation von Ammoniak und der letzte der Rekristallisation des UO₃ zuzuschreiben. Die Kristallitgröße variiert zwischen 110 Å nach Lufttrocknung und 512 bzw. 496 Å nach Trocknung mit Dampf bzw. Alkohol.

Thermal characterization of bismaleimide blends

4,4-bismaleimidophenyl methane (BM) and 3,3-bismaleimidophenyl sulfone (BS) were blended in solution using weight ratios 31 (MS31), 21 (MS21), 11 (MS11), 12 (MS12) and 13 (MS13). Chain extended bismaleimide resins were also prepared by treating BS/BM with 4,4-diaminodiphenyl ether in molar ratios of 10.3 (BM-E and BS-E resins). These resins were also blended with bismaleimides and the curing characteristics were evaluated by differential scanning calorimetry. Increase in BM content in BMBS blends or increase in chain extended bismaleimide content in BM-EBS or BS-E BM blends resulted in a reduction of melting and curing temperatures. Indication about the extent of cross-linking was obtained from solubility measurements (in DMF) of isothermally cured resins (180 °C, lh and 220 °C, lh in an air oven). Thermogravimetric analysis of samples isothermally cured at 180 °C and 220 °C (lh each) was carried out in nitrogen atmosphere. Improvement in thermal stability of chain extended bismaleimides was observed on blending.

Zusammenfassung 4,4-Bismalimidophenyl-methan (BM) und 3,3-Bismalimidophenyl-sulfon (BS) wurden in Lösung in den Gewichtsverhältnissen 31 (MS31), 21 (MS21), 11 (MS11), 12 (MS12) und 13 (MS13) gemischt. Auch kettenpolymerisierten Bismalimid-Harze wurden durch Behandlung von BS/BM mit Diaminodiphenylether im Molverhältnis 10,3 dargestellt (BM-E- und BS-E-Harze). Die Kennwerte der Aushärtung von Mischungen dieser Harze mit den Bismalimiden wurden mittels DSC ermittelt. Eine Erhöhung des BM-Gehaltes in den BM BS-Mischungen oder des Gehaltes der BM-E BS oder BS-E-Mischungen an kettenpolymerisierten Bismalimiden führt zu einer Erniedrigung der Schmelz- und Aushärtetemperaturen. Hinweise über den Vernetzungsgrad wurden aus Löslichkeitsmessungen (in DMF) von Isotherm (je 1 Stunde bei 180 und 220 °C in Luft) gehärteten Harzen erhalten. Die thermogravimetrische Analyse der Isotherm bei 180 bzw. 220 °C 1 Stunde ausgehärteten Proben wurde in Stickstoffatmosphäre ausgeführt. Die thermische Stabilität der Bismalimide wird durch Verschneiden verbessert.

Invariant sets for kinetic equations

Some sets in the space of compositions possessing an invariance property are considered for a closed system, where a complex chemical reaction of a known mechanism proceeds. If the vector of concentrations belongs to such a set at a certain moment of time, it will remain within it at any succeeding moment. Some possible applications are discussed.

Thermal dissociation processes of-diketonate adducts with the composition ML₂ · 2B (L = acetylacetone and its substituted derivatives;M = Ni, Co;B = H₂O, BuNH₂CH₃OH, Py, NH₃) were investigated. Kinetics of dissociation were studied in a flow reactor. For dehydration processes a compensation relationship is observed (lgA=E+b), demonstrating analogous mechanisms.A semi-quantitative series of the thermodynamic stabilities of the dihydrates is obtained from experimental data at quasi-equilibrium conditions (Q-derivatograph).

Thermal decompositions of Y,La and light lanthanide thiodiglycolates

The conditions of thermal decomposition of the thiodiglycolates of Y, La and light lanthanides from Ce to Gd have been studied. On heating, these complexes decompose in various ways. Hydrated thiodiglycolates of La,Ce(III), Pr(III) and Gd lose crystallization water in one step, while those of Y, Nd, Sm and Eu(III) do so in two steps. The anhydrous complexes subsequently decompose in several steps to the oxysulfates Ln₂O_3–x((SO₄)_x.

Cyclohexene skeletal isomerization on AlPO4 catalysts precipitated with ammonia and promoted with sulfate ions

This study concerns the effect of SO ₄ ^2– (1–10 wt.%) on the surface acid properties of AlPO₄ catalysts obtained in aqueous ammonia and based on their catalytic activity in cyclohexene skeletal isomerization (CSI) by using the Bassett-Habgood equation for first order processes. It has been found that AlPO₄–SO ₄ ^2– catalysts are much more active in the isomerization process than AlPO₄ catalysts, indicating a strongly increased acidity. Maximum catalytic activity was reached at about 2–3 wt.% and varied with further temperature treatment. Furthermore, the sulfate loading brought about a very pronounced increase in crystallinity even at the smallest content.

Preparation and properties of high dispersity palladium catalysts

Preparation methods for monodisperse sols of palladium with 9, 15, 30 and 75 Å particles are suggested. It has been revealed that with decreasing size of palladium particles (d25 Å), the dissolved hydrogen species disappear. As a result, their behavior in dimethyl ethynyl carbinol hydrogenation is close to the platinum properties.
