Freezing points,osmotic coefficients,and activity coefficients of some salts in ethylene carbonate: A high dielectric constant solvent without hydrogen bonding

The freezing points, conductivities, and densities of NaI, KI, CsI, Bu₄NCl, Bu₄NBr, Bu₄NI, Et₄NBr, and Pr₄NBr (where Et = ethyl, Pr = propyl, and Bu =n-butyl) in ethylene carbonate have been measured. Osmotic and activity coefficients were calculated from the results. All of the salts studied are strong electrolytes. The trends in the osmotic coefficients of the alkali metal iodides are NaI>KI>CsI, showing that Na⁺ is more solvated by ethylene carbonate than Cs⁺. For the tetraalkylammonium halides, the order of osmotic coefficients are Et₄NBrPr₄NBrBu₄NCl>Bu₄NBr>Bu₄NI. This is the same order as observed in two other high-dielectric-constant solvents, water andN-methylacetamide. The results indicate that the smaller anions are more solvated than the larger anions in ethylene carbonate in contrast to the usual behavior of dipolar aprotic (basic) solvents, such as dimethyl sulfoxide.     

Viscosities of Some Tetraalkylammonium and Alkali-Metal Salts in N,N-Dimethylacetamide at 25°C

The viscosities of solutions of tetrapropylammonium bromide (Pr₄NBr), tetrabutylammonium bromide (Bu₄NBr), tetrapentylammonium bromide (Pen₄NBr), tetrahexylammonium bromide (Hex₄NBr), tetraheptylammonium bromide (Hep₄NBr), tetraoctylammonium bromide (Oct₄NBr), tetrabutylammonium tetraphenylborate (Bu₄NBPh₄), sodium tetraphenylborate (NaBPh₄), and potassium tetraphenylborate (KBPh₄) in N,N-dimethylacetamide are reported at 25^°C. The viscosity data havebeen analyzed by the Jones-Dole equation for associated electrolytes to evaluate the viscosity B coefficients of the electrolytes. These data have also been analyzed by the transition-state theory to obtain the contribution of the solutes to the free energy of activation for viscous flow of the solution. The ionic contribution to the viscosity B coefficient and the free energy of activation for viscous flow have been estimated using of the reference electrolyte Bu₄NBPh₄. The bromide, tetraphenylborate, and tetraalkylammonium ions are found to be weakly solvated in N,N-dimethylacetamide, whereas significant solvation has been detected for sodium and potassium ions. The viscosity of the solvent is greatly modified by the presence of all the ions investigated here with the exception of the bromide ion.     

Evaluation of single-ion conductances in nonaqueous solvents at 25°C by the use of tetrabutylammonium tetrabutylboride as a reference electrolyte

Precise conductances for tetrabutylammonium tetrabutylboride (Bu₄NBBu₄) at 25°C have been measured in a number of nonaqueous solvents, and the data have been analyzed by the 1957 Fuoss-Onsager conductance equation. Limiting ion conductances for the Bu₄N⁺ ion at infinite dilution ₀(Bu ₄ N ⁺) in various solvents have been evaluated by dividing ₀ values of the salt into two equal parts. The ₀(Bu ₄ N ⁺) values so obtained are in fairly good agreement (within±0.1–3.5%) with the corresponding values determined from direct transference number measurements in these solvents.     

Tetrabutylammonium Salts of Ruthenium(II) Nitroso Complexes

The paper describes synthesis of (nBu₄N)₂[RuNOCl₅](I), (nBu₄N)₂[RuNOCl₄OH](II), (nBu₄N)₂×[RuNOCl₄OH]·6H₂O (III), and (nBu₄N)₂[RuNOCl₅]· 2(nBu₄N)₂[RuNOCl₄(H₂O)]·2H₂O (IV). The complexes were studied by IR spectroscopy and powder Xray and crystal Xray analyses. The structures are built up of [RuNOCl₅]^2- (I, IV), [RuNOCl₄OH]^2- (II, III), and [RuNOCl₄(H₂O)]^- (IV) complex anions, (nBu₄N)⁺ cations, and crystal water molecules (III, IV). The substances are moderately soluble in water; highly soluble in polar organic solvents, such as acetone, ethanol, chloroform, methylene chloride; and almost insoluble in carbon tetrachloride and toluene. Under storage in light, the compounds decompose from the surface; in darkness I and II are stable, whereas III and IV can lose part of the crystal water.     

Studies on the γ-effects. Part 3. Variations in the γ-effects ofN-substituted benzylamines,o-aminomethylphenols and 3,4-dihydro-2H-1,3-benzoxazines against theE s ′ substituent constants

The magnitude of the -effects on¹³C chemical shifts was studied as function of theN-substitution [Me, Et, Bu, CH₂C₆H₅, CH₂CH₂C₆H₅, Prⁱ, Bu^t, Bu^s, c-C₆H₁₁, CH(CH₃)C₆H₅, Bu^t, or Ph] for several benzylamines,o-aminomethylphenols and 3,4-dihydro-2H-1,3-benzoxazines. A correlation between the _c-values and the steric substituent constants (E _s ) of theN-substituents proved useful in characterizing the variation of the -effects along with the conformational factors. The diastereospecificity of the -effects is discussed for purposes of configurational assignments.For part 2, see Ref. 1. This paper is also Part 5 in the series Studies on the Benzoxazine Series.     

Apparent molal volumes and heat capacities of some 1:1 electrolytes in anhydrous methanol at 25°C

A flow calorimeter and flow densimeter have been used to measure volume specific heats and densities of solutions of LiCl, LiBr, NaCl, NaBr, KF, KBr, Kl, CsF, and Bu₄NBr in anhydrous methanol at 25°C. The concentrations ranged from approximately 0.01m to close to saturation in some cases. Apparent molal heat capacities _cp and volumes _v have been evaluated and extrapolated to infinite dilution to obtain _cp ^o and _v ^o . Nearly all the heat capacities in methanol are negative. However, with the exception of the lithium halides and Bu₄NBr they are more positive than heat capacities of the corresponding salts in water. The dependence of the heat capacities on ionic radii is generally opposite in methanol solutions from that observed for aqueous solutions. In agreement with others, the _v ^o data indicate that electrostriction in methanol solutions is greater than in aqueous solutions.     

Estimated ionicB-coefficients from NMR measurements in aqueous electrolyte solutions

¹⁷O-NMR spin-lattice relaxation timesT ₁ of D₂O molecules were measured at 5–85°C in D₂O solutions of alkali metal halides (LiClCsCl, KBr, and KI), DCl, KOD, Ph₄PCl, NaPh₄B, and tetraalkylammonium bromides (Me₄NBrAm₄NBr) in the concentration range 0.1–1.4 mol-kg^–1 TheB-coefficients of the electrolytes obtained from the concentration dependence of relaxation ratesR ₁=1/T₁ were divided into the ionicB-coefficients by three methods: (i) the assumption ofB (K⁺)=B(Cl^–), (ii) the assumption ofB(Ph₄P⁺)=B(Ph₄B^–), and (iii) the use ofB(Br^–) obtained from a series ofB(R₄NBr). It was found that Methods (ii) and (iii) resulted in an abnormal temperature dependence of theB-coefficients of alkali metal ions and a negative values of rotational correlation times _c at lower temperatures for hydroxide and halide ions. These results suggest that the methods based on the van der Waals volume are not adequate for the ionic separation of NMRB-coefficients. From the analysis using the assumption ofB(K⁺)=B(Cl^–), it was found that D₃O⁺, OD^–, and Me₄N⁺ ions are the intermediates between structure makers and breakers, and that the hydrophobicity of phenyl groups is weaker than that of alkyl groups due to the interactions between water molecules and -electrons in phenyl groups.     

Thermodynamic characteristics of solvation of individual ions in ethanol at −50 to 55°C

Experimentally determined are the enthalpies of solution of 12 electrolytes (LiBr, LiI, NaBr, NaI, NaBPh₄, Et₄NCl, Et₄NBr, Pr₄Br, Bu₄NBr, Am₄NBr, Ph₄PCl, Ph₄PBr) in ethanol at –50 to 55°C. _sH^o values obtained on the basis of four different extrapolation equations are analyzed. The effect of temperature changes on the thermodynamic parameters of solvation indindividual ions are calculated using thermodynamic data for the salt crystals (lattice) with the assumption that _solvC _p ^o (Ph₄P⁺)=_solvC _p ^o (Ph₄P^-).     

Conductance of Some 1:1 Electrolytes in N,N-Dimethylacetamide at 25°C

Precise conductance measurements of solutions of lithium chloride, lithium bromide, lithium iodide, lithium perchlorate, lithium tetrafluoroborate, lithium hexafluoroarsenate, tetrabutylammonium bromide, and tetrabutylammonium tetraphenylborate in N,N-dimethylacetamide are reported at 25°C in the concentration range 0.005–0.015 mol-dm^–3. The conductance data have been analyzed by the 1978 Fuoss conductance equation in terms of the limiting molar conductance (⁰), the association constant (K _a), and the association diameter (R). The limiting ionic conductances have been estimated from an appropriate division of the limiting molar conductivity of the reference electrolyte Bu₄NBPh₄. Slight ionic association was found for all these salts in this solvent medium. The results further indicate significant solvation of Li⁺ion, while the other ions are found to be unsolvated in N,N-dimethylacetamide.     

Studies on the Complexes of N,N′-Bis[o-(diphenylphosphino)benzylidene]ethylenediamine with Transition Metal Ions

The thermodynamic parameters for the interaction of Cu²⁺, Ni²⁺, Co²⁺, Cd²⁺, andAg⁺ with the new title ligand have been determined by titration calorimetry in 50% THF–methanol (V/V) at 25 °C.Ag⁺ exhibited remarkably higher complexation selectivity.Ag⁺ and several transition metal ions have been transportedusing this ligand as carrier in a bulk liquid membrane. CompetitiveAg⁺–M²⁺ transport studies have also beencarried out for the same system. In this membrane transport study, high transport of Ag⁺ was observed in both single and competitiveAg⁺–M²⁺ transport studies. The complexformation of N,N-bis[o-(diphenylphosphino)benzylidene]ethylenediamine (P₂N₂) with silver,[Ag(P₂N₂)] (NO₃), (1) is reported.

IR-Spectroscopic investigation of the hydration of tetrabutylammonium bromide in methylene chloride

The concentration dependence of the H₂O spectra in solutions of tetrabutylammonium bromide Bu₄NBr in methylene chloride was investigated by IR-spectroscopy. At low salt and H₂O concentrations the equilibrium: Br _f ^– +HOH_fBr^–HOH dominates where f indicates free or not hydrogen-bonded Br^– and H₂O. With increasing salt content, Br^–H–O–HBr^– complexes are present in addition. At high salt and H₂O content, including the saturated aqueous Bu₄NBr solution, H-bonded cyclic dimers seem to be important.Presented at the sixth Italian meeting on Calorimetry and Thermal Analysis (AICAT) held in Naples.

The hexamolybdenum cluster complex [Mo₆(₃-Cl)₈(O₂CMe)₆]^2–, 1 was isolated as the Bu₄N⁺ salt in 71% yield from the reaction of (Bu₄N)₂[Mo₆(₃-Cl)₈Cl₆] with AgO₂CMe in CH₂Cl₂ solvent. The compound was characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The cluster contains an octahedral arrangement of six molybdenum atoms with eight chloride ligands bridging the eight trianglar faces and six carboxylate ligands terminally coordinated through one oxygen atom to each of the six molybdenum atoms. Crystal data: space group =P2₁/n,a=10.713(3)Å,b=14.43(1)Å,c=21.919(4)Å, =94.37(2)°,Z=2, 1965 reflections,R=0.036.     

Formation of cobalt(iii) cations with semiquinonediimine ligands

The reactions of polynuclear cobalt(ii) trimethylacetates [Co(OH) _n (OOCCMe₃)_2–n ] _x , Co₆(₃-OH)₂(OOCCMe₃)₁₀(HOOCCMe₃)₄, or Co₄(₃-OH)₂(OOCCMe₃)₆(HOEt)₆ with an excess of N-phenyl-o-phenylenediamine (1) in toluene followed by treatment with atmospheric oxygen afforded the diamagnetic complex [Co{²-(NPh)(NH)C₆H₄}₂{¹-(NH₂)C₆H₄(NPhH)}]⁺(Me₃CCOO...H...OOCCMe₃)^– (3), whose cation contains the Co^III atom. The reaction of Co₄(₃-OH)₂(OOCCMe₃)₆(HOEt)₆ with a deficient amount of diamine 1 in acetonitrile under an argon atmosphere gave rise to the antiferromagnetic ionic complex [Co{²-(NPh)(NH)C₆H₄}₂MeCN]⁺[Co₂(₂,²-OOCCMe₃)(₂-OOCCMe₃)₂(²-OOCCMe₃)₂]^–·2MeCN (4), whose cation is an isoelectronic analog of the cation in complex 3. The structures of the new compounds were established by X-ray diffraction analysis.     

Properties of aqueous salt solutions of poly(ethylene oxide). Cloud points, θ temperatures

The determination of the properties of aqueous salt solutions of poly(ethylene oxide) has been extended to the cloud point, and temperature measurements have been made at several concentrations for various salts (flourides, iodides, acetates, formates, phosphates, bromides, thiosulfates and perchlorates). The resulting dependency of the critical temperatures (mostly between 290–350 K) on the molar concentration can be expressed as sequences showing the decreasing effect of anion species or cation species in salting out the polymer. The decreasing order of effectiveness of the anions in reducing the temperature is PO ₄ > HPO ₄ > S₂O ₃ > H₂PO ₄ ^– >F^– > HCOO^– > CH₃COO^– > Br^– > I^–. The order for cations is K⁺ Rb⁺ Na⁺ Cs⁺ > Sr⁺⁺ > Ba⁺⁺ Ca⁺⁺ > NH ₄ ⁺ > Li⁺. The changes brought about in temperatures by the salts were found to be the results of the changes taking place in the hydrophilic and hydrophobic interactions among polymer, solvent and additive salts and of the change of water structure by structure making or structure breaking ions, and of the influence of salts on the hydration sheath of the polymer.     

[Cu12S6(PnPr3)8] and [Cu20S10(PnBu1Bu2)8]: Two sulfur bridged copper clusters with Cu-s cluster cores of known compositions but new structures

The synthesis and X-ray determination of two sulfur bridged copper clusters with the known compositions of [Cu₁₂S₆(PⁿPr₃)₈] and [Cu₂₀S₁₀(PⁿBu¹Bu₂)₈] but new molecular structures allow a comparison of these isomeric copper sulfide clusters. The Cu-S frameworks of the clusters with twelve copper atoms are highly topologically related and can both be derived flom a hypothetical naked [Cu₁₂,S₆] cluster that results from theoretical investigations. More dificult is the comparison of the two clusters containing 20 metal atoms. The two cluster types can be called either a prolate or an oblate isomer of [Cu₂₀S₁₀(pR₃)₈].     

Ammonia Formation on (Ru + Cs)/C Catalysts by the Interaction of Adsorbed Nitrogen with Hydrogen That Diffused from the Bulk of Cesium–Ruthenium Particles

The high-temperature (T _max = 625 ) and (T _max = 750 ) states of ammonia and (T _max = 550–750 ), (T _max = 750–900 ), and (T _max > 900 K) states of hydrogen were detected on (Ru + Cs)/C catalysts for ammonia synthesis activated under the reaction conditions (P = 30 atm; T = 650 K; the initial pressure ratio P_{N 2}/P_{H 2} = 1/3). A mechanism was proposed for the formation of ammonia as a result of the interaction of chemisorbed nitrogen with hydrogen that diffused from the bulk of cesium–ruthenium particles.     

Conductance in homomorphous solvents: Tetrabutylammonium salts and alkali picrates in butyrolactone-sulfolane mixtures

Conductance measurements are reported for LiPi, NaPi, KPi, RbPi, CsPi, Bu₄NPi, Bu₄NBr, Bu₄NClO₄, Bu₄NNO₃, and Bu₄NBBu₄ at 25°C in -butyrolactone-sulfolane mixtures. In these mixtures of solvents that are practically homomorphous, isodielectic and with comparable dipole moments, the ion pair association and ionic mobilities of large ions conform to the expectations of the primitive model. Electrolytes containing lithium or sodium ions show anomalies indicating that other factors besides shape, dipole moment, and polarizability of the solvent molecules are involved in the association and transport processes of these ions.

Both the cluster-containing monomers and corresponding copolymers phosphoresce intensely ( 0.2—0.4 ms at 77—300 K).     

Crystal Structures of [Ni(Phen)(i‐Bu2PS2)2] and [Ni(Phen)3](i‐Bu2PS2)2 Complexes and Interaction between Coordinated 1,10‐Phenanthroline Molecules

The structure of complex I is built from mononuclear molecules, and the structure of III, from [Ni(Phen)₃]²⁺ complex cations and i Bu₂PS₂ ^- outersphere anions. The NiN₂S₄ coordination polyhedra in the structure of I and NiN₆ in the structure of III are distorted octahedra. Based on structural data, the interaction between the coordinated Phen molecules of complexes I, [Ni(Phen)₂(iBu₂PS₂)](iBu₂PS₂) (II), and III is considered, as well as the packing modes of these complexes.
