Simultaneous spectrophotometric determination of molybdenum and iron with salicylaldehyde thiosemicarbazone,and application to the analysis of steels

Summary Salicylaldehyde thiosemicarbazone reacts with molybdenum (VI) in mineral acid solution, in the presence of stannous chloride, to produce a 11 red-violet complex (_max=520 nm,=4.8×10³l·mole^–1·cm^–1). Iron(II and III) forms a green 12 complex, in ammonia-ammonium chloride solution (_max=590 nm,=1.7×10³l· mole^–1·cm^–1). Both complexes have been used with success in the photometric estimation of molybdenum and iron in mixtures. Molybdenum may be determined in presence of 40 times its weight of iron. Iron may be determined in presence of twice its weight of molybdenum. The reagent can be applied to the analysis of steels. The interferences of some metallic ions have been examined.

Characterization of sintering of gelled UO3 microspheres

UO₃ microspheres, prepared using an internal gelation process, were reduced and sintered. Hydrogen and argon atmospheres were used at temperatures ranging from 1100 °C to 1400 °C for different durations.It was found that the sintered density is higher for spheres réduced at 700 °C than at any other reduction temperature. Lower densities were achieved in argon atmosphere than in hydrogen for the same sintering and reduction temperature. More than 98% Th.D. could be obtained by calcining the UO₃ spheres at 400 °C for 1 hr, reducing at 700 °C and then sintering at 1400 °C for 2 hrs in hydrogen atmosphere.

Zusammenfassung Über interne Gebildungsprozesse hergestellte UO₃ Mikrokugeln wurden reduziert und gesintert. Dafür wurden Wasserstoff- und Argonatmösphären verschiedene Zeit lang bei Temperaturen zwischen 1100 °C und 1400 °C verwendet. Es wurde festgestellt, daß die Dichte des gesinterten Materials bei einer Reduktionstemperatur von 700 °C am größten ist. Bei gleichen Sinter- und Reduktionstemperaturen erreicht man in Argon eine geringere Dichte als in Wasserstoff. Mehr als 98% Th.D. kann man erreichen, indem man die UO₃ Kugeln bei 400 °C eine Stunde lang kalziniert, bei 700 °C reduziert und dann zwei Stunden lang bei 1400 °C in Wasserstoffatmosphäre sintert.

Bestimmung des Parameters der Methylgruppe und M-Effekt der Methylgruppe

Zusammenfassung Der Parameter für den +I-Effekt der Methylgruppe wird zu =–0,15 bestimmt. Die auf den + M-Effekt der Methylgruppe zurückgehende bathochrome Verschiebung beträgt je Methylgruppe rund 300 cm^–1. Diese Werte werden diskutiert. Die mit =–0,15 berechnete Ladungsverteilung der -Elektronen im Toluol und m-Xylol wird angegeben. Sie ist durch eine Strukturierung der Ladung des Kernesohne Ladungsverschiebung (charge transfer) aus der Methylgruppe charakterisiert. Die -Dipolmomente der beiden genannten Verbindungen sind von richtiger Größenordnung. Schließlich werden noch die Grenzen der Anwendbarkeit der Methode kurz diskutiert.Mit 2 AbbildungenDie wesentlichen Teile dieser Arbeit wurden während meiner Zugehörigkeit zur Quantum Chemistry Group des Mathematical Institute, University of Oxford, im Studienjahr 1957/58 ausgeführt.

Structure,vibrational spectra,and energetic stability of LnX<Stack><Subscript>4</Subscript><Superscript>−</Superscript></Stack> ions (Ln=La,Lu; X=F,Cl, Br,I)

Molecular structure and properties of La and Lu tetrahalide ions LnX ₄ ^– ) are studied by the configuration interaction singles-and-doubles method augmented with quadruple excitation correction (CISD+Q) and by the fourth-order Möller-Plesset perturbation theory with account for single, double, triple, and quadruple excitations (SDTQ-MP4). The atomic inner shells are described by Stevens relativistic effective core potentials. Valence basis sets are augmented with diffuse s-, p-, and polarization d-, f-, and g-functions. The equilibrium configuration of nuclei in LnX ₄ ^– ions was found to be tetrahedral. The equilibrium internuclear distances, quadratic force constants, vibrational frequencies, and IR intensities of LnX ₄ ^– ions are compared with the corresponding parameters of La and Lu trihalide molecules (LnX₃), calculated within the same approximations. Regularities in the behavior of molecular parameters on going along the LnF ₄ ^– LnCl ₄ ^– LnBr ₄ ^– LnI ₄ ^– series and from La compounds to Lu compounds are revealed. Heights of the energy barriers to the LnX ₄ ^– inversion through the square planar structures (T _d D _4h T _d ) are evaluated: 100–110 and 130–150 kJ/mol for LaX ₄ ^– and LuX ₄ ^– , respectively. Enthalpies of dissociation reactions LnX ₄ ^– LnX₃+X^– are calculated and the results obtained are compared with the available experimental data.Translated from Koordinatsionnaya Khimiya, Vol. 31, No. 3, 2005, pp. 218–228.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Solomonik, Smirnov, Mileyev.This revised version was published online in April 2005 with a corrected cover date.This revised version was published online in April 2005 with a corrected cover date.     

Potentiometric studies of the thermodynamics of iodine disproportionation from 4 to 209°C

The equilibrium constant for the disproportionation of iodine in aqueous solution was determined as a function of temperature from 3.8 to 209.0°C using emf measurements in low ionic strength media. The equilibrium constant and associated molal thermodynamic quantities at 25°C are: K₁=1.17±0.62×10^–47, H^o=273±3 kJ-mol^–1, S^o=16±9 J-K^–1-mol^–1, and C _p ^o =–1802±41 J-K^–1-mol^–1. Although the value of K₁ is in excellent agreement with a previous emf measurement at 25°C, these results conflict with the corresponding parameters obtained from the NBS tables. Moreover, at temperatures above ca. 100°C, our measured values for the equilibrium constant diverge strongly from all previous estimates and predictions.

A calorimetric investigation into copper–arginine and copper–alanine solid state interactions

Complexes of formula CuCl₂ · 2arg and CuCl₂ · 4ala (arg = arginine; ala = alanine) were prepared at room temperature by a solid state route. The metal–amino acid solid state interactions were studied by i.r. spectroscopy and solution calorimetry. For both complexes, participation of the carboxylate group as well as nitrogen in coordination are inferred, based on the i.r. data. For the copper–arginine compound, the calculated thermochemical parameters are: _rH_m = –114.9 ± 1.42 and _fH_m = –1608.3 ± 11.6 kJ mol^–1. For copper–alanine compound, a complete set of thermochemical parameters were calculated: _rH_m = –18.0 ± 0.9; _fH_m = –2490.4 ± 4.3; _DH_m = 597.2 ± 17.7; _MH_m = 771.9 ± 18.7; _gH_m = 627.1 ± 22.3 and D (Cu–L) = 156.8 ± 5.7 kJ mol^–1. Based on _rH_m and dissolution enthalpy values, a stronger intermolecular solid state interaction can be inferred for the arginine complex, than for the alanine one complex, probably due to the formation of intermolecular hydrogen bonds in the former.     

Catalytic properties of metallic and electron-deficient platinum in reforming over Pt/Al2O3 catalysts

The activity of Pt/Al₂O₃ catalysts with various contents of metallic (Pt^o) and electron-deficient (Pt) platinum has been examined in dehydrocyclization of n-heptane and dehydrogenation of cyclohexane. In the former case it is proportional to the number of surface Pt atoms and in the latter case it is proportional to the BET surface of metallic platinum Pt^o.
