Kinetic and EPR studies on radical polymerization. Radical polymerization of di-2[2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethoxy]ethyl itaconate

The polymerization of di-2[2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethoxy]ethyl itaconate (1) with dimethyl 2,2-azobisisobutyrate (2) was studied, in benzene, kinetically and spectroscopically with the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) method. The polymerization rate (R _p) at 50°C is given by the equation:R _p=k[2]^0.48 [1]^2.4. The overall activation energy of polymerization was calculated to be 34 kJ·mol^–1. From an EPR study, the polymerization system was found to involve EPR-observable propagating polymer radicals of 1 under the actual polymerization conditions. Using the polymer radical concentration, the rate constants of propagation (k _p) and termination (k _t) were determined. With increasing monomer concentration,k _p(1.54.3 L·mol^–1·s^–1 at 50°C) increases andk _t (1.0·10⁴4.2·10⁴ L·mol^–1·s^–1 at 50°C) decreases, which seems responsible for the high dependence ofR _p on the monomer concentration. The activation energies of propagation and termination were calculated to be 11 kJ·mol^–1 and 84 kJ·mol^–1, respectively. For the copolymerization of 1(M ₁) and styrene (M ₂) at 50°C in benzene the following copolymerization parameters were found:r ₁=0.2,r ₂=0.53, Q₁=0.57, ande ₁=+0.7.     

Spectroscopic and thermal studies on the decomposition of l,3,5-triamino-2,4,6-trinitrobenzene (TATB)

The kinetics of the thermal decomposition of 1,3,5-triamino-2,4,6-trinitrobenzene (TATB) in condensed state has been investigated by high temperature infrared spectroscopy (IR) and thermogravimetry (TG) in conjunction with pyrolysis gas analysis, differential thermal analysis (DTA) and hot stage microscopy. The decomposition proceeds in two main stages under isothermal conditions and the initial stage involving about 24% loss in weight obeys Avrami-Erofe'ev equation (n= 1), and is governed by an activation energy (E) of 150.58 kJ·mol^–1 and log(A in s^–1) 12.06. The second stage corresponding to 24 to 90% loss in weight gave best fit for Avrami-Erofe'ev equation,n=2, withE=239.56 kJ·mol^–1 and log(A in s^–1) 19.88 by isothermal TG. The effect of additives, on the initial thermolysis of TATB has also been studied. Evolved gas analysis by IR showed that NH₃, CO₂, NO₂, HCN and H₂O are produced in the initial stage of decomposition. The decomposition in KBr matrix in the temperature range 272 to 311.5°C shows relative preferential loss in the -NH₂ to -NO₂ band intensity which indicates that the rupture of C-NH₂ bond, weakened also by the interaction of the NH₂ with the neighbouring NO₂ group, appears to be the primary step in the thermolysis of TATB.     

Comparative studies on the curing kinetics and thermal stability of tetrafunctional epoxy resins using various amines as curing agents

The curing reactions of the epoxy resins tetraglycidyl diaminodiphenyl methane (TGDDM) and tetraglycidyl methylenebis (o-toluidine) (TGMBT) using diaminodiphenyl sulfone (DDS), diaminodiphenyl methane (DDM) and diethylenetriamine (DETA) as curing agents were studied kinetically by differential scanning calorimetry. The dynamic scans in the temperature range 20°–300°C were analyzed to estimate the activation energy and the order of reaction for the curing process using some empirical relations. The activation energy for the various epoxy systems is observed in the range 71.9–110.2 kJ·mol^–1. The cured epoxy resins were studied for kinetics of thermal degradation by thermogravimetry in a static air atmosphere at a heating rate of 10 deg·min^–1. The thermal degradation reactions were found to proceed in a single step having an activation energy in the range 27.6–51.4 kJ·mol^–1.

Summary Complexes [NiL₂]X₂·nH₂O (L=diethylenetriamine; n=O when X=CF₃CO₂ or CCl₃CO₂; n=1 when X=Cl or Br, and n=3 when X=0.5SO₄ or 0.5SeO₄) and NiLX₂·nH₂O (n=1 when X=Cl or Br; n=3 when X=0.5SO₄ or 0.5SeO₄) have been synthesised and investigated thermally in the solid state. NiLSO₄ was synthesised pyrolytically in the solid state from [NiL₂]SO₄·[NiL₂]X₂ (X=Cl or Br) undergo exothermic irreversible phase transitions (242–282° C and 207–228° C; H=–11.3 kJ mol^–1 and –1.9 kJ mol^–1 for [NiL₂]Cl₂ and [NiL₂]Br₂, respectively). [NiL₂]-phenomenon (158–185° C; H=2.0 kJ mol^–1). NiLX₂· nH₂O (n=1 or 3) undergo simultaneous deaquation-isomerisation upon heating. All the complexes possess octahedral geometry.     

Effect of Na+ and NH 4 + Cations on Microstructure Changes of Natural Vermiculite During Heat Treatment

Emanation thermal analysis (ETA), DTA, SEM, and XRD were applied for the characterization of the effect of Na⁺ and NH ₄ ⁺ ions used for saturation of natural Mg-vermiculite on the microstructure during heating. The microstructure changes were characterized by ETA under in situ conditions of samples heating in air in the temperature range 20–1300°C. It was found that Na⁺ and NH ₄ ⁺ ions have a significant effect on the microstructure changes during heat treatment of the natural Mg-vermiculite sample saturated with these ions. For Mg-vermiculite and Na⁺ saturated vermiculite thet emperatures of the onset of the collapse of interlaminar space were determined by ETA. Differences in thermal stability of the microstructure of dehydrated vermiculite samples were observed by ETA: the microstructure of dehydrated Mg-vermiculite, and Na-vermiculite was found stable until 650 and 350°C, respectively. For dehydrated NH₄-vermiculite the annealing of the microstructure started at 730°C. The onset temperatures of the formation of new crystalline phases were indicated by ETA as the increase of the radon release rate. The onset temperatures of the ordering of the vermiculite structure or sintering under presence of the glassy stage (for Na-vermiculite), respectively, were determined from the decrease of the radon release rate. The ETA results were confirmed by DTA, XRD and SEM.This revised version was published online in November 2005 with corrections to the Cover Date.

Summary [Ni(dien)₂]X₂·nH₂O (dien=diethylenetriamine; n=0, X=NO₃ or CF₃SO₃; n=0.5, X=ClO₄ or BF₄ and n=2, X=CF₃SO₃) complexes have been prepared and investigated thermally in the solid state. [Ni(dien)₂](NO₃)₂ (1) and [Ni(dien)₂](CF₃SO₃)₂ (2) undergo endothermic irreversible phase transitions (209–247°C and 184–205°C; H=5.6 kJ mol^–1 and 7.7 kJ mol^–1 for (1) and (2), respectively). [Ni(dien)₂](ClO₄)₂·0.5H₂O (3) shows an endothermic irreversible phase transition after deaquation (201–216°C; H=7.7 kJ mol^–1). [Ni(dien)₂](BF₄)₂·0.5H₂O also shows an endothermic irreversible phase transition after deaquation, accompanied by partial decomposition. All the complexes possess octahedral geometry with the ligands arranged meridionally.

Ligand exchange reaction of Zn(II)-acetylacetonate complex with 5,10,15,20-tetraphenyl-21H,23H-porphinetetrasulfonic acid

Ligand exchange reaction of Zn(II)-acetylacetonate complex (Zn-acac₂) with 5,10,15,20-tetraphenyl-21H,23H-porphinetetrasulfonic acid (H₂TPPS) has been investigated spectrophotometrically and radiometrically. The exchange reaction was observed by spectral change from H₂TPPS to Zn-TPPS or activity of⁶⁵Zn(acac)₂ extracted into the chloroform phase. The 2nd order rate constants (k ₂) for the exchange reaction at 70 °C and at pH 7.8 were found to be 32.8±2.3 and 31.2±3.2 M^–1·s^–1 from the spectrometric and radiotracer experiments, respectively. For the direct complexation of Zn(II) with H₂TPPS, a similar 2nd order rate constant (k=32.4±4.7 M^–1·s^–1) was obtained as that in the ligand exchange reaction. The activation energies (E) for the exchange and the formation of Zn-TPPS were found to be 69.3±0.2 and 69.4±0.2 kJ·mol^–1, respectively, in the temperature range from 40 to 70 °C.     

Kinetische Untersuchungen der Essigsäureanhydrid—Methanol-Reaktion mit Hilfe der Kernresonanzspektroskopie

Zusammenfassung Die Veresterung des Essigsäureanhydrids (I) mit Methanol (II) ohne zusätzliches Lösungsmittel wurde bei 20 und 30°C mit Hilfe der Kernresonanzspektroskopie kinetisch untersucht. Aus der durch elektronische Integration bestimmten Intensitätszunahme des Ester-Methoxy-Protonensignals wurden die Konzentrationen im Verlauf der Reaktion bestimmt. Das Geschwindigkeitsgesetz:RG=k·[(CH₃CO)₂O]·[CH₃OH] wird bei den Konzentrationsverhältnissen [I]:[II]=11 bis 16,7 erfüllt;k=7,17·10^–5 (20°C) bzw. 15,30·10^–5 (30°C) mol^–1·l·min^–1; S ^*=–42Cl. Diese Befunde führten uns zu dem Schlusse, daß I und II zunächst unter Bildung von protoniertem Essigsäuremethylester und Acetat-Anion reagieren, und daß dieser protonierte Ester rasch das Proton abspaltet.

Kinetics of the esterification of aceticanhydride (I) with methanol (II) without any solvent were investigated by means of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Increasing of the methoxyproton-signal intensity of the ester was evaluated by electronic integration and thus the kinetic run was determined. The law: rate=k·[I]·[II] is satisfied by the experimental data from the concentration range [I][II]=11 up to 16,7;k=7,17·10^–5 (20°C), and 15,30·10^–5 (30°C) mol^–1·l·min^–1; S ^*=–42Cl. From these results we concluded that first I and II react, forming protonized methyl acetate and acetate-anion, and that this protonized ester rapidly delivers the proton.

Multinuclear macromolecule metal complexes 2. Preparation and characterization of Prussian blue and its analogs bonded to pofy(vinylamine hydrochloride)

Prussian blue and its analogs bonded to poly(vinylamine hydrochloride) (PVAm · HCl) containing Fe^II or Fe^III and M²⁺ (M=Fe, Co, Cu) in a 11 molar ratio were obtained by the reaction of [Fe(CN)₆] ^n– (n=3,4) with M²⁺ ion-PVAm · HCl mixture in aqueous solution. Under a limited polymer concentration (T_VAm/T_Fe over 10), these polymer complexes thus obtained were stable and soluble in water. By casting these solutions, colored films can be produced. The formation of Prussian blue and its analogs bonded to PVAm · HCl was also investigated by the Benesi-Hildebrand method. The molar extinction coefficients of intervalence charge transfer (Fe^IIFe^III, Co^IIFe^III, Fe^IICu^II) band for MFe(CN)₆]^(n–2)– bound to PVAm · HCl (M=Fe, Co, Cu) were found to be 10,100–9601 · mol^–1 · cm^–1 at 25 C. The formation constants were found to be in the range of 10⁷ to 10¹⁰ M^–1. The changes of enthalpy (H) and entropy (S) were found to be in the range of –10.4 to –22.5 kJ · mol^–1 and 5.7 to 52.9 J · K^–1 mol^–1 respectively, at 25C.     

Kinetics and kinetic isotope effect in pentavalent plutonium disproportionation activated by power ultrasound

A kinetic isotope effect in Pu(V) disproportionation has been observed in nitric acid solution under the effect of power ultrasound with intensity 0.9W·cm^–2 and frequency 22 kHz. The isotope separation coefficient for²⁴²Pu/²³⁹Pu isotopes was found to be 1.0081 at 20°C. Without sonication the k.i.e. was not observed. The rate constant of Pu(V) disproportionation was found to be accelerated under sonication. The rate constant determined was (5.7±0.6)·10^–3 1²·mol^–2·s^–1 atl=0.9 W·cm^–2,v=22 kHz, [HNO₃]=0.5 mol·l^–1 andT=20°C. It is supposed that the acceleration of Pu(V) disproportionation and the kinetic isotope effect are due to the activation of plutonoyl groups in the interface between the cavitation bubble and the bulk solvent.     

Chemisorption and physisorption of CO2 on cation exchanged zeolitesA,X and mor

Calorimetric measurements of the heat of adsorption of CO₂ on zeolites with variable content of mono- and divalent cations lead to common conclusions. High initial heats (up to 120 kJ·mol^–1 for NaA), generally associated with a slow and activated rate of adsorption, are found for high contents of Na⁺, Li⁺ or Ca²⁺. They are attributed to a limited number of chemisorption sites (0.3 per cage in NaA).Physisorption results in lower heats (25–50 kJ·mol^–1). The lowest values are obtained with partially or totally decationized zeolites. Transition metal cations induce frequently weaker interactions than IA or IIA. Finally the stronger the energy of adsorption is, the larger the adsorbed amount is.

Zusammenfassung Kalorimetrische Messungen der Adsorptionswärme von CO₂ an Zeolithen mit einem unterschiedlichen Gehalt an ein- und zweiwertigen Kationen führen zu allgemeinen Schlußfolgerungen. Für einen hohen Gehalt an Na⁺, Li⁺ oder Ca²⁺ werden hohe Initiierungswärmen (bis zu 120 kJ·mol^–1 für NaA) gefunden, die immer in Verbindung mit langsamen und aktivierten Adsorptionsgeschwindigkeiten auftreten. Dies wird einer begrenzten Anzahl an Stellen für die Chemisorption zugeschrieben (0.3 pro -Cage in NaA). Physisorption verursacht niedrigere Wärmen (25–50 kJ·mol^–1). Die niedrigsten Werte erhält man mit teilweise oder total entkationisierten Zeolithen. Kationen von Übergangs-metallen verursachen häufig schwächere Wechselwirkungen als IA-oder IIA-Kationen. Je höher die Adsorptionsenergie, um so größer ist die adsorbierte Menge.

     

Thermally induced solid-state isomerisation and decomposition of 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-propanediamine nikel(II) complexes

Summary Complexes [NiL₃]Br₂·H₂O (L=2,2-dimethyl-1,3-propanediamine), [NiL₂X₂] (X=Cl, Br, NCS, CF₃CO₂, HCCl₂CO₂ or CCl₃CO₂ and X₂=SO₄ or SeO₄) and [NiL(HCCl₂CO₂)₂]·H₂O have been synthesised and their thermal studies have been investigated in the solid state. The complexes, [NiL₂X₂] (X=Cl or Br) and NiLX₂ (X=Cl or HCCl₂CO₂) have been isolated thermally in the solid state. All the complexes possess octahedral geometry. [NiL₂Br₂] and [NiL₂(CF₃CO₂)₂] exist in two interconvertible isomeric forms. H for the conversions were determined. [NiL₂(HCCl₂CO₂)₂] (5) undergoes an irreversible phase transition (178–188°C; H=4.4kJ mol^–1]. NiL(HCCl₂CO₂)₂·H₂O shows an exothermic irreversible phase transition (104–128°C; H=–5.8 kJ mol^–1) after losing water. The phase transitions are assumed to be due to the conformational changes in the chelate ring of diamine.     

A thermal analysis study of Ibuprofen

Ibuprofen has been subjected to a TG/DTA study over the temperature range of 30 to 350°C in a flowing atmosphere of nitrogen. The heating rate and the flow rate were varied. The DTA shows a melting at around 80°C and boiling point range from 212 to 251°C depending upon the heating rate. The mass loss in the TG data confirms the evaporation of Ibuprofen between them.p. and the normalb.p. Evaporation is limited to the surface area, which is a constant in the crucible holding the sample. The DTG plot shows clearly a zero order process which is consistent with the process of evaporation. The enthalpy of vaporization (_vap H) calculated by Trouton's rule is found to be in the range of 42.7–46.1 kJ mol^–1. TheE _act for the zero order reaction is in the range of 81.8–87.0 kJ mol^–1 and is calculated by use of the derivative method. The value ofE _act is about twice that for H _vap in Ibuprofen and differs from other compounds, whereE _act H _vap . It is suggested that the Ibuprofen molecule is existing as a dimer in the liquid state and dissociates to a monomer in the vapor state.     

The kinetics of the oxidation-reduction reaction between uranium(VI) and titanium(III) in HCl solution

The oxidation-reduction reaction between U(VI) and Ti(III) in HCl solution was studied spectrophotometrically. The reaction is second-order at all concentrations of reactants, HCl, ferrous chloride and mannitol used in this work. In 5M HCl the rate constantk increases with increasing Ti(III) concentration, whereas it decreases with increasing U(VI) concentration, with increasing HCl concentration from 1.00M to 7.17M and increases thereafter from 7.17M to 11.79M. The addition of mannitol causes a consistent decrease in the rate of reaction, whereas ferrous chloride has no effect. The activation energy for this oxidation-reduction reaction was 47.90±0.11 kJ·mol^–1. The values of H , G and S were 45.40±0.11 kJ·mol^–1, 72.50±0.17 kJ·mol^–1 and –91.10±0.22J·k^–1·mol^–1, respectively. The mode of reaction is discussed in the light of kinetic results.     

On the reliability of equilibrium data of the charge-transfer complex between 2,3-dichloro-1,4-naphthoquinone and hexamethylbenzene

In view ofHammond's warning⁶ about the Conspiracy of errors, found in the case of low values of equilibrium constants of charge-transfer complexes a case is made out for redetermining the values for the system hexamethylbenzene—2,3-dichloro-1,4-naphthoquinone. Uncertainties in the parameters were estimated using theLiptay ⁸ matrix procedure. The solvent used was dichloromethane. The following data were obtained at 25°C: vC T = 22,220 cm^–1;E _A=0.99 eV;K =2599±57 l²·cm^–1·mol^–2. _max= 1020 ± 148 cm^–1··1;K=2.55±0.37 l·mol^–1; –H=2.7±0.3 kcal·mol^–1.With 1 Figure     

Kinetics and thermodynamic aspect of the adsorption of Fe(III) on HTTA-imbedded polyurethane foam

The batch kinetics of Fe(III) adsorption on HTTA-loaded polyurethane (PU) foam have been investigated. The rate of controlling the adsorption is found to be intraparticle diffusion. The reaction rate of adsorption and desorption was also evaluated and found to increase and decrease with temperature, respectively. This indicates an endothermic adsorption behavior of Fe(III) on HTTA loaded PU foam. The activation energy of adsorption (80±10 kJ·mol^–1) and of desorption (–45±±2 kJ· mol^–1) indicates the chemical adsorption rather than physical adsorption. The isosteric heat of adsorption (H _ads) was found to be –82.7±5.05 kJ·mol^–1. This shows the formation of new chemical bonds among Fe(III)-HTTA-PU foam. The thermodynamic parameters of G, H and S, and equilibrium constantK _c have been calculated. These functions further support that the process of adsorption of Fe(III) on HTTA-loaded PU foam is endothermic and chemisorption, stabilized through thermodynamic functions.     

Reactivity of the carbocation generated in the photolysis of 1,2,2,4,6-pentamethyl-1,2-dihydroquinoline toward azide ion

The reaction of the azide ion with the carbocation generated in the photolysis of 1,2,2,4,6-pentamethyl-1,2-dihydroquinoline in methanol was studied by pulse (conventional and laser) and steady-state photolysis techniques. The adduct of the azide ion was characterized by ¹H NMR spectrum. Experimental results were interpreted taking into account a competition between the addition of methanol and azide ion to the carbocation. The rate constants for the reaction of the azide ion with the carbocation (k _Az) were measured at 2—48 °C in a wide range of [N₃ ^–]₀ concentrations from 2·10^–7 to 0.1 mol L^–1 at different ionic strengths () of the solution. The resulting k _Az values are more than an order of magnitude lower than those for diffusional-controlled reactions and vary from 3.2·10⁸ ( = 0) to 4.5·10⁶ L mol^–1 s^–1 ( = 0.8 mol L^–1) in the presence of NaClO₄ (18 °C). The activation energy of addition of the azide ion to the carbocation is 21 kJ mol^–1, which is by 12 kJ mol^–1 lower than the activation energy of the reaction of the carbocation with methanol. The features of the reaction under study are discussed from the viewpoint of the structures of carbocations generated in the photolysis of dihydroquinolines.     

Synthesis,crystal structure and magnetic properties of a two-dimensional mixed-valence assembly [Fe(salen)]2[Fe(CN)5NO]

A cyanide-bridged Fe^III–Fe^II mixed-valence assembly, [Fe^III(salen)]₂[Fe^II(CN)₅NO] [salen = N,N-ethylenebis(salicylideneiminato)dianion], prepared by slow diffusion of an aqueous solution of Na₂[Fe(CN)₅NO] · 2H₂O and a MeOH solution of [Fe(salen)NO₃] in an H tube, has been characterized by X-ray structure analysis, i.r. spectra and magnetic measurements. The product assumes a two-dimensional network structure consisting of pillow-like octanuclear [—Fe^II—CN—Fe^III—NC—]₄ units with dimensions: Fe^II—C = 1.942(7) Å, C—N = 1.139(9) Å, Fe^III—N = 2.173(6) Å, Fe^II—C—N = 178.0(6)°, Fe^III—N—C = 163.4(6)°. The Fe^II—N—O bond angle is linear (180.0°). The variable temperature magnetic susceptibility, measured in the 4.8–300 K range, indicates the presence of a weak intralayer antiferromagnetic interaction and gives an Fe^III–Fe^III exchange integral of –0.033 cm^–1.     

Some applications of thermal analysis to fullerenes

Thermal analysis is a convenient means of characterizing the soot used as a source of the carbon clusters, the extracted mixture of fullerenes, and the individual clusters themselves. TG in an inert atmosphere will rapidly assay the volatile fractions, presumably the lower molecular weight clusters. TG in oxygen indicates — a slight weight gain for the soots and clusters prior to their combustion.DSC in oxygen is used to determine the heat of combustion for the separated C₆₀ and C₇₀ materials. The combustion occurs around 300°C for the clusters. There is a small exothermic peak before this which is attributed to the oxidation associated with the slight weight gain. The heats of combustion measured are –18.7 and –21.0 kJ·mol^–1 for the C₆₀ and C₇₀ respectively.MS-EGA indicates the loss of small amounts of water and argon at temperatures around 250°C in vacuum and of solvent at about 350°C prior to sublimation.

Zusammenfassung Thermoanalyse ist ein praktisches Hilfsmittel zur Charakterisierung von Ruß als Quelle für Kohlenstoffcluster, extrahierte Gemische von Fullerenen und die individuellen Cluster an sich. TG in einer inerten Atmosphäre ergibt schnell die flüchtigen Fraktionen, wahrscheinlich die niedermolekularen Cluster. TG in Sauerstoff zeigt einen leichten Gewichtszuwachs für Ruß und Cluster vor ihrer Zersetzung.DSC in Sauerstoff wurde angewendet, um die Verbrennungswärme der getrennten C₆₀ und C₇₀ Materialien zu ermitteln. Die Verbrennung erfolgt für die Cluster bei etwa 300°C. Davor kann ein kleiner exothermer Peak beobachtet werden, welcher der Oxidation in Verbindung mit dem geringen Gewichtszuwachs zugeschrieben wird. Die gemessenen Verbrennungswärmen betragen –18.7 und –21.0 kJ·mol^–1 für C₆₀ bzw. C₇₀.MS-EGA zeigt den Verlust von geringen Mengen an Wasser und Argon bei Temperaturen von etwa 250°C in Vakuum und von Lösungsmittel bei etwa 350°C, bevor die Sublimation eintritt.
