Conductivities of 1∶1 salts in 2-cyanopyridine

Electrolytic conductivities of eight simple 11 electrolytes have been measured in dilute solutions of 2-cyanopyridine (2CNP) at 30°. Infinite dilution mobilities and association constants were calculated using the Fuoss-Hsia equation. With the exception of LiCF₃SO₃ all salts show very little association, consistent with the very high dielectric constant of 2CNP. The weak association which does occur is attributed to weak ion-solvent interactions. No evidence was found for triple ion formation. Conductivities of concentrated solutions of LiAsF₆ in 2CNP increase slowly with concentration reaching a maximum at a concentration of around 0.65 mol-dm^–3. These conductances are slightly lower than those in propylene carbonate which has a lower dielectric constant and a higher viscosity. Conductivities of concentrated LiAsF₆ solutions in 2CNP mixtures with acetonitrile vary monotonically, consistent with solution viscosities, and show no sign of the maximum commonly observed in mixed organic solvents.     

Effect of Solvents on Oxidation of 1, 1′-Bi-2-naphthol

A novel biomimetic catalyst of complex Cu (p-OTs)2/ethanolamine (1 : 1 ) was used to oxidize 1, 1′-bi-2naphthol into xanthene derivatives with a relative high yield in a mixed solvents of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and CH3OH. The studies on the effect of some solvents on the yield of xanthene derivatives indicates that the yield reduces dramatically with the increase of the content of H2O in the mixed solvents of H2O and DMSO. No product can be obtained when the content of H2O is up to 70%. The cyclic voltammetric study demonstrated that the copper ion in complex Cu(p-OTs)2/ethanolamine(1:1) is reduced via a twostep one-electron reduction process from Cu (Ⅱ) to Cu in the mixture of DMSO and H2O. Water as a poor solvent in respect to the reactants probably hampered the coordination of 1, 1′-bi-2-naphthol to copper/amine complex and led to the insufficient catalytic efficiency of complex Cu(p-OTs),/ethanolamine(1:1).

Solubility of Oxygen in Some 1-1, 2-1, 1-2, and 2-2 Electrolytes as a Function of Concentration at 25°C

The solubility of oxygen has been measured in a number of electrolytes [(LiCl, KCl, RbCl, CsCl, NaF, NaBr, NaI, NaNO₃, KBr, KI, KNO₃, CaCl₂, SrCl₂, BaCl₂, Li₂SO₄, K₂SO₄, Mn(NO₃)₃)] as a function of concentration at 25°C. The solubilities, mol (kg-H₂O)^–1, have been fitted to a function of the molality m (standard deviation < 3mol-kg^–1)

Effect of LiNi1/2Mn1/2O2 coating on the electrochemical performance of Li–Mn spinel

Lithium nickel manganese oxide (LiNi_1/2Mn_1/2O₂) was coated on spinel lithium manganese oxide (LiMn₂O₄) by a sol–gel process in an attempt to improve the high temperature cycling performance. The ratio of the coating sol to LiMn₂O₄ was adjusted to determine the relationship between the coating thickness and electrochemical performance. The crystal structure and morphology of the samples were examined by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The charge and discharge characteristics, including cyclability and electrochemical properties of the bare and the coated LiMn₂O₄, were measured and compared. The results showed that a LiNi_1/2Mn_1/2O₂ coating on LiMn₂O₄ improves the rate capability at room temperature, and the cyclability at high temperatures.     

Study of Dehydrocoupling Reactions of Diorganotin Dihydrides R^1R^2SnH2 with Biuret

The reaction of unsymmetrical phenylmethyltin dihydride （PhMeSnH2）, phenylethyltin dihydride （PhEtSnH2）, phenylbutyltin dihydride （PhBuSnH2） and butylmethyltin dihydride （BuMeSnH2） with biuret （HAL） proceeds via SnH/NH dehydrocoupling to afford the corresponding tetra-coordinate cyclic products. The reactions in the molar ratios of 1 ： 1, 2 ： 1 and 1 ： 2 have been studied. The yellow derivatives so isolated were soluble in polar solvents and insoluble in nonpolar solvents. It was found that 1 ： 1 reaction went to completion while 2 ： 1 and 1 ： 2 did not go to completion. The derivatives had been characterized by elemental analysis and spectroscopic techniques viz. IR, ^1H NMR, ^13C NMR, ^119Sn NMR. DSC and TGA of the reaction products have also been studied. All the derivatives were thermally stable upto （1904- 10）℃ and degradation occurred after that.

Ab initio Study of H2O–HCl (1:1, 1:2, 2:1) Complexes

This paper reports on an ab initio (6-31G**) study of 1:1, 1:2, and 2:1 (H₂O) _n (HCl) _m complexes. Stable configurations of the 1:2 and 2:1 (H₂O) _n (HCl) _m complexes and their geometrical and energy characteristics were determined. The vibrational analysis of the complexes was carried out. The effect of hydrogen bonding due to S₁S₀ and T₀T₁ electronic excitations is considered.     

Quantum chemical study of σ-dimerization reaction of 1-silacycloprop-2-enes

The PBE/TZ2P method was used to study a concerted σ-dimerization reaction of 1-silacycloprop-2-enes having substituents with different electron effects. The corresponding reaction channels were founds in all the cases, that indicated a general character of this reaction. The reaction barriers varied from moderately high to extremely low. The suggestions made earlier on a possibility for this process to take place in the course of the reaction of silylenes with alkynes at elevated temperature were quantitatively confirmed for the first time. The influence of substituents on the barrier heights and exothermicity of σ-dimerization of 1-silacycloprop-2-enes was studied. The σ-dimerization reaction of 1-silacycloprop-2-enes is one of a few examples of metathesis of s-bonds in the absence of transition metal complexes.     

Thermal behaviour of chemically deintercalated Li1−1Ni1+xO2

The thermal behaviour of chemically deintercalated samples obtained by HCl treatment of non-stoichiometric Li/Ni mixed oxides is studied. A multi-step reduction of Ni with O₂ evolution is observed between room temperature and 800C. Two cation redistribution processes are shown by the exothermal occurrence of a spinel phase at 300C and the endothermal reduction to a rock-salt phase with random distribution of Li and Ni cations in octahedral sites at 800C.The authors wish to express their acknowledgement to CICYT and PFPI for financial support.

Thermal magnetic investigation of the decomposition of NixMn1−xC2O4·2H2O

The systems Ni_xMn_1?xC₂O₄·2H₂O (x = 0.11, 0.34) are characterized by XRD, SEM, TG/DTA, EGA-MS and magnetic measurements. The last confirmed that the studied samples are real solid solutions. The SEM reveals that the morphology depends on both the excess of C₂O₄^2? and the initial ratio Ni/Mn. The thermal magnetic investigations (in situ) show that: (i) the presence of Ni in Ni_xMn_1?xC₂O₄·2H₂O leads to decreasing in the decomposition temperature in regard to that of the manganese oxalate; (ii) upon increasing the Ni content the temperature of decomposition (in air) is growing up; (iii) the presence of Ni stabilizes the manganese with respect to oxidation, in spite of the occurring process of decomposition.     

Photodissociation of CS2+( 2 Πg) via (1+1) Excitation

Photodissociation dynamics of CS2+molecular ions has been investigated by (1+two-photon resonance technique. CS2+were prepared by (3+1) resonance-enhanced multi-photon ionization (REMPI) of CS2molecules at 483. 2nm. The photofragment S+excitati (PHOFEX) spectra were recorded by scanning another laser in the 424~482nm region, and we assigned essentially to CS2+(~A2Πu,3/2(v′=0~4)←~X2Πg,3/2(0,0,0)) and (~A2Πu,1/2(v′=0,4)←~X2Πg,1/2(0,0,0)) (herev′=v1′+(1/2)v2′) transitions. The S+production channel wpreliminarily attributed to, (i) one-photon excitation CS2+from the ground state~X2Πgto texcited state~A2Πu; (ii) vibronic coupling between the~A2Πustate and the high vibrational lev in the~X2Πgstate; (iii) second photon excitation from the coupling vibrational levels to the excied state~B2Σu+and dissociation to produce S++ CS via the repulsive4Σ-state through spin-orb interaction between the~B2Σu+and4Σ-states.

1H-NMR Investigation of the Binding of 2-Methylnaphthalene to α-Cyclodextrin in D2O Solutions

As -cyclodextrin (-CD) was added to D₂Osolutions of 2-methylnaphthalene, its proton signals shifted to lower fieldsat low concentrations of -CD. At 2.0 × 10^-2 moldm^-3 of -CD, however, a reverse, higher-field shift wasobserved for the H-8 signal, indicating the formation of 1 : 1 and 2 : 1-CD–2-methylnaphthalene inclusion complexes. Intrinsic chemicalshift differences of all the protons in 2-methylnaphthalene have beenevaluated for both the 1 : 1 and the 2 : 1-CD–2-methylnaphthalene inclusion complexes. These intrinsicchemical shift differences suggest that the first -CD molecule has noselectivity in accommodating one end of uncomplexed 2-methylnaphthalene;-CD binds to a methyl group, as well as a naphthalene ring-end havingno methyl group, to form the 1 : 1 inclusion complex, resulting in theformation of two kinds of 1 : 1 complexes.     

Synthesis of nanopowders of pentoxides Ta2y Nb2(1−y)O5

The processes of production of high purity nanopowders of niobium and tantalum pentoxide Ta_2y Nb_2(1–y)O₅ with a low content of fluorine and Nb₂O₅ in low-temperature polymorph were studied. Ceramic samples were prepared from a charge of solid solutions LiTa _y Nb_1–y O₃ and Li _x Na_1–x Ta _y Nb_1–y O₃ synthesized using coprecipitated pentoxide Ta_2y Nb_2(1–y)O₅. Therewith for solid solutions LixNa_1–x Ta _y Nb_1–y O₃ significantly larger values of high dielectric constant and ionic conductivity were achieved compared to the solid solutions obtained by using a mechanical mixture of Ta₂O₅ and Nb₂O₅. This converts solid solutions LixNa_1–x Ta _y Nb_1–y O₃ from acoustoelectronic and piezoelectric type of materials into the capacitor and ion-conductive type of solid materials.
