The Influence of 4f Orbital Excitation in Eu(Fod)3 on Complexation with Sulfones in Benzene Solutions

Complexation of sulfones (S) with the -diketonate Eu(Fod)₃ (Fod–heptafluorodimethyloctanedione) in the ground and excited electronic states in benzene solutions was studied. The stability constants and thermodynamic parameters for the formation of complexes Eu(Fod)₃ · S in the ground state (K, H ₀, S ₀) and Eu(Fod)₃ ^* · S in the excited state (K*, H ₀ ^*, S ₀ ^*) were determined. The excitation of f–f transitions of Eu(III) was found to enhance the stability of Eu(Fod)₃ · S complexes, apparently due to an increase in the acceptor ability of the Eu(III) chelate. This fact confirms the involvement of the 4f orbital in the chemical bond formation. The compensation effect was observed for the thermodynamic parameters: S ₀ = (2.9 ± 0.3) × 10^–3H ₀ + (35.0 ± 4.0) in the ground and S ₀ ^* = (3.3 ± 0.3) × 10^–3H ₀ ^* + (49.0 ± 5.0) in the excited states of Eu(Fod)₃. It was shown that electronic excitation of the 4f orbital of Eu(Fod)₃ influences isotopic effects in complexation with sulfolanes.     

The kinetics of the solvolysis of chloropentacyanocobaltate(III) ions in water containing 2-methoxyethanol or diethylene glycol: A contrast with the effect of more hydrophobic cosolvents

The kinetics of the solvolysis of [Co(CN)₅Cl]^3– have been investigated in water +2-methoxyethanol and water + diethylene glycol mixtures. Although the addition of these linear hydrophilic cosolvent molecules to water produces curvature in the variation of log(rate constant) with the reciprocal of the dielectric constant, their effect on the enthalpy and entropy of activation is minimal, unlike the effect of hydrophobic cosolvents. The application of a Gibbs energy cycle to the solvolysis in water and in the mixtures using either solvent-sorting or TATB values for the Gibbs energy of transfer of the chloride ion between water and the mixture shows that the relative stability of the emergent solvated Co(III) ion in the transition state compared to that of Co(CN)₅Cl^3– in the initial state increases with increasing content of cosolvent in the mixture. By comparing the effects of other cosolvents on the solvolysis, this differential increase in the relative stabilities of the two species increases with the degree of hydrophobicity of the cosolvent.List of Symbols v₂ partial molar volume of the cosolvent in water + cosolvent mixtures - V ₂ ^o molar volume of the pure cosolvent - H _mix ^E excess enthalpy of mixing water and cosolvent - S _mix ^E excess entropy of mixing water and cosolvent - G _t ^o (i)_n the Gibbs energy of transfer of speciesi from water into the water + cosolvent mixture excluding electrostatic contributions - k _s first order rate constant for the solvolysis in water + cosolvent mixtures - D _s dielectric constant of the water + cosolvent mixture - H ^* the enthalpy of activation for the solvolysis - S ^* the entropy of activation for the solvolysis - G ^* the Gibbs energy of activation for the solvolysis - V ^* the volume of activation for the solvolysis - i ^* speciesi in the transition state for the solvolysis - H _o Hammett Acidity Function - TATB method for estimating the Gibbs energy of transfer for single ions assuming those for Ph₄As⁺ and BPh ₄ ^– are equal     

Formation Enthalpy and Entropy of Exciplexes with Variable Extent of Charge Transfer in Solvents of Different Polarity

Temperature dependence was studied for relative quantum yields of emission from some exciplexes of pyrene, 1,12-benzoperylene, and 9-cyanoanthracene with methoxybenzenes or methylnaphthalenes in solvents of different polarity (ranging from toluene to acetonitrile). The enthalpy H _Ex ^*, the entropy S _Ex ^*, and the Gibbs free energy G _Ex ^*of formation of the exciplexes were determined. Depending of the Gibbs free energy of excited-state electron transfer (G _et ^*) and solvent polarity, the values of H _Ex ^*, S _Ex ^*, and G _Ex ^*vary over the ranges from –5 to –40 kJ mol^–1, from +3 to –90 J mol^–1K^–1, and from +3 to –21 kJ mol^–1, respectively. The possibility is discussed that the effect of solvent polarity G _et ^*on the exciplex formation enthalpies can be rationalized in terms of the model of correlated polarization of an exciplex and the medium.     

Thermodynamic quantities for the interaction of Cl− with Mg2+, Ca2+ and H+ in aqueous solution from 250 to 325°C

The aqueous reactions, Mg²⁺+Cl^–=MgCl⁺, Ca²⁺+Cl^–=CaCl⁺, and H⁺ +Cl^–=HCl(aq), were studied as a function of ionic strength at 250, 275, 300, and 325°C using a flow calorimetric technique. The logK, H, S and C_p values were determined from the fits of the calculated and experimental heast. The data were reduced assuming a known functionality of the activity coefficient. Hence, the logK, H, S and C_p values determined in this study are dependent on the activity coefficient model used. These thermodynamic values were compared with literature results. The logK values for the formation of MgCl⁺ agree reasonably well with those reported in the literature. The logK values for CaCl⁺ formation agree reasonably well with those reported in the literature at 300 and 325°C. At lower temperatures, the agreement is poorer. The logK values for the formation of HCl(aq) are generally lower than those reported in the literature. The logK, H, S and C_p values for all three ion association reactions are positive and increase with temperature over the temperature range studied. These values are the first determined calorimetrically for the formation of MgCl⁺ and CaCl⁺ in the temperature range 275–325°C.Presented at the Second International Symposium on Chemistry in High Temperature Water, Provo, UT, August 1991.     

Heat of fusion and specific volume of poly(ethylene terephthalate) and poly(butylene terephthalate

Summary Concerning the relation between the experimental heat of fusion H* and the specific volumev of PETP a considerable uncertainty exists in literature. For PBTP obviously no data have been reported. The present paper reports H* andv measurements for undrawn PETP and PBTP samples which have been crystallized from the glassy state or from the melt at different temperatures for different periods of time.For PETP a linear relation is obtained: H* = 1411–1886v (Jg^–1). Published values for the specific volumev _c of the PETP crystal range from 0.660 to 0.687 cm³g^–1. Ifv _c = 0.660 cm³g^–1 is accepted, a heat of fusion M _m = 166 Jg^–1 is obtained for the PETP crystal.For PBTP also a linear relation is found: H* = 1296–1628v (Jg^–1). Withv _c = 0.71 cm³g^–1 one obtains H _M = 140 Jg^–1 as the heat of fusion of the PBTP crystal. The specific volumev _a of amorphous PBTP (H* = 0) is 0.796 cm³g^–1 which is much higher than the hitherto used values of 0.781–0.782 cm³g^–1. The reason for this difference is thatv _a cannot directly be measured, because the low quasi-static glass temperature of 15 °C enables quenched PBTP to undergo cold crystallization at 20 °C.

Zusammenfassung Hinsichtlich des Zusammenhangs zwischen experimenteller Schmelzwärme H* und spezifischem Volumenv von PETP bestehen in der Literatur beträchtliche Diskrepanzen. Für PBTP wurden bislang offensichtlich keine Ergebnisse veröffentlicht. In der vorliegenden Arbeit werden Messungen von H* undv für unverstreckte PETP- und PBTP-Proben mitgeteilt, die unterschiedlich lange bei ver-schiedenen Temperaturen aus dem Glaszustand oder aus der Schmelze kristallisiert wurden.Für PETP ergibt sich die lineare Beziehung: H* = 1411–1886v (Jg^–1). Literaturwerte für das spezifische Volumenv _c des PETP-Kristalls schwanken zwischen 0.660 und 0.687 cm³g^–1. Nimmt manv _c = 0.660 cm³g^–1 als richtig an, so erhält man als Schmelzwärme des PETP-Kristalls H _M = 166 Jg^–1 = 32 kJ mole^–1.Auch für PBTP erhält man eine lineare Abhängigkeit: H* = 1296–1628v. Mitv _c = 0.71 cm³g^–1 ergibt sich als Schmelzwärme des PBTP-Kristalls H _M = 140 Jg^–1 = 31 kJ mole^–1. Das spezifische Volumen des amorphen PBTP beträgt _a = 0.796 cm³g^–1 und ist erheblich größer als der bisher angenommene Wert von 0.781 cm³g^–1. Die Ursache fÜr diese Diskrepanz liegt darin begündet, daßv _a nicht direkt gemessen werden kann, weil wegen der niedrigen quasi-statischen Glastemperatur von 15°C bei abgeschrecktem PBTP die Kaltkristallisation bei 20°C bereits einsetzt.

Zum Reaktionsverhalten von Imidazolin-Δ3-thionen-(5)

Zusammenfassung Imidazolin-³-thione-(5) sind zyklische Thioamide, die auch als Thiolimide (5-Mercapto-2H-imidazole) reagieren können. Die Reaktionsmöglichkeiten des exozyklisch gebundenen S-Atoms werden am Beispiel des 2-Methyl1-2,4-diphenyl-imidazolin-³-thion-(5) demonstriert. Vom Thiolimid-Tautomeren leiten sich Cd- und Cu-Salze, S-Alkyl- und S-Acylderivate sowie das Bis-[2H-imidazol-5-yl]-disulfid ab. Aus dem Thioamid entsteht mit H₂O₂ in Methanol das S-Oxid, das sich durch Acetylierung und nachfolgende Hydrolyse in das Disulfid überführen läßt. In höherer Ausbeute entsteht das Disulfid direkt aus dem Imidazolin-³-thion-(5) durch Behandeln mitAc ₂O und H₂O₂ in Gegenwart von Pyridin. Disulfid oder Imidazolin-³-thion-(5) ergeben mit SO₂Cl₂ 5-Chlor-2H-imidazol, welches mit Aminen zu 5-Amino-2H-imidazolen ungesetzt werden kann. Aus der reduktiven Entschwefelung von Imidazolin-³-thion mit LiAlH₄ resultieren unter Ringöffnung Gemische zweier isomerer Diamine.

³-Imidazoline-5-thiones are cyclic thioamides which can react also as thiol imides (5-mercapto-2H-imidazoles). The reactions of the exocyclic S atom are demonstrated with 2-methyl-2.4-diphenyl-³-imidazoline-5-thione.Derivatives of the tautomer thiolimide are cadmium and copper salts, S-alkyl and S-acyl derivatives and the bis-[2H-imidazol-5-yl]-disulphide. Oxidation of the thioamide in methanolic solution with H₂O₂ gives the corresponding disulphide. Better yields of the disulphide are obtained when ³-imidazoline-5-thione is treated simultaneously withAc ₂O, H₂O₂ and pyridine. Reaction of the disulphide or of the ³-imidazoline-5-thione with SO₂Cl₂ gives 5-chloro-2H-imidazole, which can be converted to 5-amino-2H-imidazoles with amines. Desulphurization of the ³-imidazoline-5-thione under reducing conditions (LiAlH₄) causes ring opening to yield a mixture of two isomeric diamines.

NMR Study of Non-freezing Water in Protein-Modified Carbon Adsorbents

Temperature dependences of ¹H NMR spin–spin relaxation were studied for the non-freezing water at the surface of carbon matrices modified with proteins (human serum albumin (HSA) and mouse immunoglobulin (MIG)) in the presence of water-soluble carbodiimide. The entropy, S , and enthalpy, H , values characterizing molecular mobility in non-freezing water were estimated. The compensation effect was observed for all modified samples, which is well approximated by the linear dependence of the type H = T ₀S + H ₀. The compensation temperature T ₀ = 231 ± 33 corresponds to such a state of non-freezing water, when the effect of modifying additives on the isobaric potential of molecular mobility activation in the non-freezing water, G , is minimal. The G has approximately constant value equal to H ₀ = 24.2 ± 0.5 kJ/mol. Modification of the base carbon matrix with MIG protein results in higher structurization of the non-freezing water, whereas HSA reduces this structurization. The observed effects are explained in terms of the hydration of modifying agents and also by the peculiarities of their location on the surface of carbon adsorbent.     

Effect of the Reaction Products on the Rate of Oxidation of Crotonaldehyde

Study of the oxidation of crotonaldehyde revealed an appreciable inhibitory effect of the products on the process. Analysis of the kinetic data obtained over a wide range of reaction conditions (c ₀ 1.5-3.3 M, pO₂ 1-16 atm, T 293-309 K) showed that the overall oxidation process (with account taken of the inhibitory effect of the products) is described by the equation: W _CA = k*_ap c _CA (pO₂)^0.6 (1 + 0.17c _CA)^{- 1}, where k*_ap is the apparent rate constant, and c _CA is the decrease of the aldehyde concentration by a moment .     

Free energy of transfer of cobalt(III) complexes from water into water—t-butyl alcohol mixtures

The solubility of trans-(Coen₂Cl₂)₂ReCl₆ has been determined in water and in water +t-butyl alcohol mixtures. By comparzng these values with the solubility of Cs₂ReCl₆ in similar mixtures, values for the difference in free energy of transfer, G _t ^o (i) between water and water + t-butyl alcohol can be calculated for i =[Coen₂Cl₂]⁺ and Cs⁺. The introduction of G _t ^o (Cs⁺) then produces values for G _t ^o (Coen₂Cl₂ ⁺). The difference in G _t ^o (i) for i=[Coon₂Cl]²⁺ in the transition state and i=[Coen₂Cl₂]⁺ in the initiad' tate for the solvolysis of the trans-[Coen₂Cl₂]⁺ ion in water + t-butyl alcohol can be derived from the application of a free energy cycle: using G _t ^o (Coen₂Cl₂ ⁺) determined from the solubility measurements allows the calculation of values for G _t ^o (Coen₂Cl²⁺). G _t ^o (i) in water + t-butyl alcohol for bis (1,2-diamino) cobalt (III) ions are compared with G _t ^o (i) for tetrapyridinecobalt (III) ions.     

Formation Enthalpy of Exciplexes with Partial Charge Transfer as a Function of the Electron-Transfer Driving Force

The dependence of the formation enthalpy ()H _Ex* and the Gibbs energy (G _Ex*) of exciplexes with partial charge transfer on the Gibbs energy of electron transfer G _et*, the parameters of the electronic structure of an exciplex (the difference in the energies of the charge transfer (CT) state and a locally excited state (LE) in a vacuum ( H ₂₂ ⁰– H ₁₁ ⁰), the matrix element of the electronic coupling of the CT and LE states H ₁₂, the dipole moment of the CT state, and the repulsion energy in an exciplex a"), and the polarity of the medium was analyzed. The consideration of the repulsion energy in the exciplex is necessary for correlation of the experimental values of H _Ex* and the spectral shift of the exciplex emission with respect to the LE state. All of these parameters depend on the particular nature of the exciplex, which is the reason for the lack of the general dependence of H _Ex* and G _Ex* on G _et* for exciplexes with partial charge transfer.     

Simulation of adsorption dynamics in adsorbent layers of short length. Estimation of the concentration region of validity of Zeldovich"s equality

The frontal adsorption dynamics with the convex adsorption isotherm at a stage of parallel transfer, was numerically simulated. The change with time in the mean adsorption values a _c in the adsorbent layers of short length L and corresponding concentrations c _L at the outlet from L was calculated. Zeldovich"s equality, which suggests that the ratio of c _L to a _c is equal to the ratio of the inlet fluid phase concentration to the amount adsorbed at equilibrium, is fulfilled at L 0 over the interval of relative concentrations from 10^–4 to 1. This indicates that Zeldovich"s equality is fulfilled as local at any limiting stage of mass transfer. The nonequilibrium dynamics of adsorption always has the finite L value at which the calculated c _L and a _c values approximately coincide with the a and c values of the equilibrium adsorption isotherm.     

Rates of Dissociative Ionic Reactions in Aqueous Mixtures Correlated with Opposing Gibbs Energies of Transfer of Single Ions: Solvolysis of Chloropentacyanocobaltate(III) Anions in Water + Ethanol and Water + Urea

The kinetics of the solvolysis of Co(CN)₅Cl^3– have been investigated in water with an added structure former, ethanol, and with added urea, which has only a weak effect on the solvent structure. As this solvolysis involves a rate-determining dissociative step corresponding closely to a 100%; separation, Co³⁺ Cl^-, in the transition state, a Gibbs energy cycle relating Gibbs energies of activation in water and in the mixtures to Gibbs energies of transfer of individual ionic species between water and the mixtures, G _t ^o (i), can be applied. The acceleration of the reaction found with both these cosolvents results from the compensation of the retarding positive G _t ^o (Cl^- by the negative term [G _t ^o [Co(CN) ₅ ^2- ]-G _t ^o [Co(CN)₅Cl^3- arising from G _t ^o [Co(CN)₅Cl^3-]> G _t ^o [Co(CN) ₅ ^2- ]. Moreover, only a small tendency to extrema in the enthalpies and entropies of activation is found with both these cosolvents, as was also found with added methanol or ethane-1,2-diol, but unlike the extrema found when hydrophobic alcohols are added to water. With the latter, much greater negative values for G _t ^o [Co(CN) ₅ ^2- ]- _t ^o [Co(CN)₅Cl^3-] are found. When G G _t ^o [Co(CN) ₅ ^2- ]-G G _t ^o [CO(CN)₅Cl^3-] becomes low enough not to compensate for the positive G _t ^o (Cl^-), as with added hydrophilic glucose, the reaction is retarded. Compensating contributions of the various G _t ^o (i) involved in the Gibbs energy cycle with added methanol or ethane-1, 2-diol allow log (rate constant) to vary linearly with the reciprocal of the relative permittivity of the medium.     

Numerische Auswertung von Enzymanalysen

Zusammenfassung Für eine numerische Auswertung von Enzymanalysen erscheint es zunächst naheliegend, in die Meßpunkte eine Ausgleichsgerade einzupassen und deren Steigung als Schätzwert für die gesuchte Anfangsgeschwindigkeit E/t ₀ zu nehmen. Die Steigung der Ausgleichsgeraden liefert aber die mittlere Reaktionsgeschwindigkeit über die gesamte Meßzeit und unterschätzt E/t ₀ immer dann, wenn die Reaktion gegen Ende der Meßzeit etwas langsamer läuft. Bei automatischen Geräten muß das Auswerteverfahren auch in solchen Fällen E/t ₀ richtig schätzen. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird eine einfache Möglichkeit, die zu diesem Ziel führt, diskutiert, nämlich die Schätzung von E/t ₀ mit einer Ausgleichsparabel, die dem Reaktionsverlauf folgen kann.

Numerical evaluation of enzyme analyses

To calculate enzyme concentrations numerically, it seems obvious to fit a straight line into the data points and take the slope as an estimate for the starting velocity E/t ₀. This slope, however, is proportional to the average reaction rate over the total measurement interval and always underestimates E/t ₀ when the reaction is slowing down towards the end. Automatic analyzers must correctly estimate E/t ₀ even in such cases. As discussed in this article, this can be achieved by fitting a second order parabola, that can follow the reaction, into the data points.

     

Study on the Melting Process of Nitrocellulose by Thermal Analysis Method

The melting process of NC is studied by using modulated differential scanning calorimetry (MDSC) technique, the microscope carrier method for measuring the melting point and the simultaneous device of the solid reaction cell in situ/RSFT-IR. The results show that the endothermic process in the MDSC curve is reversible. It is caused by the phase change from solid to liquid of the mixture of initial NC, decomposition partly into condensed phase products. The values of the melting point, melting enthalpy (H_m), melting entropy (S_m), the enthalpy of decomposition (H_dec) and the heat-temperature quotient (S_dec) obtained by the MDSC curve of NC at a heating rate of 10 K min^–1 are 476.84 K, 205.6 J g^–1, 0.4312 J g^–1 K^–1, –2475.0 J g^–1 and –5.242 Jg^–1K^–1, respectively. The MDSC results of NC with different nitrogen contents show that with increasing the nitrogen content in NC, the absolute values of H_m, S_m, H_dec and S_dec increase.This revised version was published online in November 2005 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Kinetics of the solvolysis oftrans-dichlorotetra-(4-t-butylpyridine)-cobalt(III) ions in water +t-butyl alcohol mixtures

Rates of solvolysis of the complex cation [Co(4tBupy)₄Cl₂]⁺ have been determined in mixtures of water with the hydrophobic solvent, t-butyl alcohol. The solvent composition at which the extremum is found in the variation of the enthalpy H^* and the entropy S^* of activation correlates well with the extremum in the variation of the relative partial molar volume of t-butyl alcohol in the mixture and the straight line found for the variation of H^* with S^* is coincident with the same plot for water + 2-propanol mixtures. A free energy cycle is applied to the process initial state (C ⁿ⁺) going to the transition state [M⁽ⁿ⁺¹⁾⁺...Cl^–] in water and in the mixture using free energies of transfer of the individual ionic species, G _t ^o (i), from water into the mixture. Values for G _t ^o (i) are derived from the solvent sorting method and from the TATB/TPTB method: using data from either method, changes in solvent structure on going from water into the mixture are found to stabilize the cation in the transition state, M⁽ⁿ⁺¹⁾⁺, more than in the initial state, C ⁿ⁺. This is compared with the application of the free energy cycle to the solvolysis of complexes [Co(Rpy)₄Cl₂]⁺ and [Coen₂LCl]⁺ in mixtures of water with methanol, 2-propanol or t-butyl alcohol: the above conclusion regarding the relative stabilization of the cations holds for all these complexes in their solvolyses in water+alcohol mixtures using values of G _t ^o (Cl^–) from either source.     

Thermodynamics of tri- and pentabromide anions in aqueous solution

Formation constants for the tribromide and pentabromide anions were measured by a vapor partitioning method from 5 to 80°C. The molal thermodynamic parameters for these respective species at 25°C are: K ₃ –16.73, H ^o =–5.90 kJ-mol ^–1 , Cp ^o =–29 J-K ^–1 -mol ^–1 , and S ^o =3.6 J-K ^–1 -mol ^–1 ; K ₅ =37.7, H ^o =–13.0 kJ-mol ^–1 , S ^o =–13.6 J-K ^–1 -mol ^–1 , with Cp ^o assumed zero. These results are used to reevaluate published emf results for the bromine/bromide couple.     

Determination of enthalpy of ionization of water from 250 to 350° C

The enthalpy changes at zero ionic strength (H°) for the ionization of water (H₂O=H⁺+OH^–) were determined by flow calorimetry from the heats of mixing of aqueous NaOH and HCl solutions in the temperature range 250 to 350°C. Pitzer ion-interaction models developed by other workers were used to calculate enthalpies of dilution of aqueous NaOH, HCl, and NaCl solutions for the extrapolation of H values from the conditions of the experiment to infinite dilution. Equations are derived for thermodynamic quantities (log K, H°, S°, C _p ^° and V°) for the ionization of water using the H° values determined in this study from 250 to 350°C and literature log K and H° values from 0 to 225°C. Smoothed values of log K, H°, S°, C _p ^° , and V° are presented at rounded temperatures from 0 to 350°C and at the saturation pressure of water for each temperature. The equations in the present study provide a better representation of experimental thermodynamic data from 0 to 350°C than the Marshall-Franck equation.     

Ionic enthalpies of transfer from water to water-sulfolane mixtures

NaCl, NaBr, NaI, NaClO₄, KCl, KClO₄, NaBPh₄, and Ph₄PBr solution enthalpies were measured in water-sulfolane mixtures at 30°C. Ionic enthalpies of transfer from water to mixed solvents were calculated on the basis of the assumption H _s ^o (BPh ₄ ^– )=H _s ^o (Ph₄P⁺). The variation of the ionic enthalpies of transfer with solvent composition is discussed in terms of ion-solvent interactions and of the effects caused by sulfolane on the structure of water.     

Thermochemistry of Complexation of 15-Crown-5 and 18-Crown-6 with Na+and NH+4Ions in Aqueous Solutions

The complexation constants and the heats of complexation of 15-crown-5 (15C5) and 18-crown-6 (18C6) with sodium and ammonium ions in aqueous solutions at several temperatures were determined using calorimetry methods. Thermodynamic characteristics (H°, G°, S°, and C _p°) of the formation of Na(15C5)⁺, Na(18C6)⁺, and NH₄(18C6)⁺were calculated.
