Theoretical studies on the N-containing radicals formed in thermal decompositions of dimethyl- and diethyldiazenes

The geometries and energies of ₁ and ₂ radicals, formed in the thermal reaction of dimethyl- and diethyldiazenes, were investigated by means of UHF-MINDO/3. The stability of radicals was found greater than that of allyl radical. The calculated SOMO energies show a lower reactivity in H-abstraction reactions than that of alkyl and allyl radicals.

Thermal study of some sulphosuccinates

The thermal properties of some sulphosuccinates and their intermediates were studied by using combined dynamic thermal analysis and mass spectrometry. The temperature ranges were similar in the two methods, and a scheme of thermal decomposition of the compounds investigated was suggested. In the first temperature range of thermal decomposition of the sulphosuccinate a-rupture of the molecular ion occurs. In the second temperature range, the fragmentation proceeds in two directions: either-rupture of the ethoxylated nonylphenol, or-rupture of the acid residue of the sulphosuccinates.

Zusammenfassung Mittels einer Kombination von dynamischer Thermoanalyse und Massenspektroskopie wurden die thermischen Eigenschaften einiger Sulfosukzinate und deren Zwischenprodukte untersucht. Im ersten Temperaturbereich der thermischen Zersetzung des Sulfosukzinates findet eine-Spaltung des Molekülions statt. Im zweiten Temperaturbereich tritt auch ein alternativer Fragmentierungsweg auf: eine-Spaltung des Säurerestes des Sulfosukzinates.

Characterization of perovskite-type oxide catalysts RECoO3 by TPR

Reducibility of a series of RECoO₃ (RE=La, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy) perovskite-type oxides were measured by temperature programmed reduction (TPR) technique. Catalytic activity for CO oxidation of them were investigated. The relation among T_max in TPR, catalytic activity and surface oxygen binding energy is discussed.

Several new electrocatalytic systems are described for the oxidation of cyclohexane by molecular oxygen at room temperature. The solvent is acetonitrile. Perchloric acid and perchlorates are used as supporting electrolytes. The maximum electrochemical yield amounts to 9.6% and is observed in the presence of perchloric acid.

Some peculiarities in ESR spectra of titanium complexes in catalysts for isoprene polymerization in excess A1R3

It has been established that at low temperatures of TiCl₄+AOC catalyst preparation in solution (with Ti/Al1/15), ESR spectra exhibit rhombic anisotropy of the g-factor. Experiments with the sample having 61 % concentration of⁴⁷Ti isotopes suggest the formation of associates of Ti³⁺ with magnetic ordering, apparently due to the Jahn-Teller cooperative effect.

X-ray photoelectron (ESCA) spectra of some fluorine containing aluminas

The binding energies of the F(1s) and Al(2p) electrons in fluorine containing alumina catalysts are reported. The X-ray photoelectron peaks confirm the formation of a bulk phase of AlF₃ at higher fluorine contents, whereas the fluorine signals at lower percentages originate from surface groups which are substituted by fluorine. By comparing X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy with X-ray diffraction we conclude that the combination of these techniques is a potential tool in detecting crystals on a catalyst surface which have a size under the detection limit of X-ray diffraction.

Nature of propene chemisorption centers on molybdenum trioxide

As shown by temperature-programmed desorption (TPD), the quantity of reversibly chemisorbed propane on MoO₃ passes through a maximum depending on the degree of surface reduction. Using the ESR method, it is shown that the centers of propene chemisorption do not contain Mo⁵⁺ ions but presumably isolated Mo⁴⁺ ions.

The height of DSC phase transition peaks application to liquid crystals

A new method for differentiating first- and second-order transition in liquid crystalline systems is proposed. It is based on the use of the ratioN=h/h ₀, whereh ₀ is the height of the transition peak recorded by DSC at a heating rateT _p with a massm, andh is the height of the corresponding peak when the heating rate or the mass is doubled. The application of this new concept to phase transitions in octylcyanobiphenyl (8CB) is mentioned.

Use of Pd/Sepiolite systems as hydrogenation catalysts I. Hydrogenolysis of N-blocked amino acids and dipeptides with molecular hydrogen

In this work we have assessed the use of sepiolites from Vallecas (Madrid, Spain) as supports of Pd catalysts applicable to the liquid-phase unblocking of amino acids and dipeptides protected by a benzyloxycarbonyl group (Z) with gaseous hydrogen. The sepiolites used have been compared with other supports employed by our team. We have also discussed the influence of the type of amino acid or dipeptide, the catalytic support and the precursor Pd salt on the unblocking rate.

Catalytic activity of high-silicon TsVK and Y type zeolites

Conversion of paraffins on TsVK and Y zeolites follow a similar mechanism yielding the same intermediates. Low selectivity of Y zeolites with respect to aromatic hydrocarbons is attributed to the strong adsorption of these hydrocarbons on zeolites. It is assumed that the centers of strong adsorption are Al³⁺ ions in cationic positions in zeolite.

The paper gives a quantitative comparison of two methodological approaches to the solution of the inverse kinetic problem: the traditional approach and the nontraditional approach suggested by the authors. It is shown that the amount of information (in the sense of Shannon) obtained within the scope of the nontraditional approach is always greater than that obtained with the use of the traditional approach.
