Ab initio calculations of nitrogen oxide reactions: formation of N2O2, N2O3, N2O4, N2O5, and N4O2 from NO, NO2, NO3, and N2O

Ab initio computational methods were used to obtain Delta(r)H(o), Delta(r)G(o), and Delta(r)S(o) for the reactions 2 NO <=> N(2)O(2) (I), NO+NO(2) <=> N(2)O(3) (II), 2 NO(2) <=> N(2)O(4) (III), NO(2)+NO(3) <=> N(2)O(5) (IV), and 2 N(2)O <=> N(4)O(2) (V) at 298.15 K. Optimized geometries and frequencies were obtained at the CCSD(T) level for all molecules except for NO, NO(2), and NO(3), for which UCCSD(T) was used. In all cases the aug-cc-pVDZ (avdz) basis set was employed. The electronic energies of all species were obtained from complete basis set extrapolations (to aug-cc-pV5Z) using five different extrapolation methods. The [U]CCSD(T)/avdz geometries and frequencies of the N(x)O(y) compounds are compared with literature values, and problems associated with the values and assignments of low-frequency modes are discussed. The standard entropies are compared with values cited in the NIST/JANAF tables [NIST-JANAF Thermochemical Tables, J. Phys. Chem. Ref. Data Monograph No. 9, 4th ed. edited by M. W. Chase, Jr. (American Chemical Society and American Institute of Physics, Woodbury, NY, 1988)]. With the exception of I, in which the dimer is weakly bound, and V, for which thermodynamic data appears to be lacking, the calculated standard thermodynamic functions of reaction are in good agreement with literature values obtained both from statistical mechanical and various equilibrium methods. A multireference-configuration interaction calculation (MRCI+Q) for I provides a D(e) value that is consistent with previous calculations. The combined uncertainties of the NIST/JANAF values for Delta(r)H(o), Delta(r)G(o), and Delta(r)S(o) of II, III, and IV are discussed. The potential surface for the dissociation of N(2)O(4) was explored using multireference methods. No evidence of a barrier to dissociation was found.     

Stability of nitrogen-oxygen cages N12O2, N14O2, N14O3, and N16O4

Molecules consisting entirely of nitrogen have been studied extensively for their potential as high energy density materials (HEDM). However, many such molecules are too unstable to serve as practical energy sources. This has prompted many studies of molecules that are mostly nitrogen but which incorporate heteroatoms into the structure to provide additional stability. In the current study, cages of three-coordinate nitrogen are viewed as candidates for stabilization by insertion of oxygen atoms into the nitrogen framework. Cages of N12, N14, and N16 with four-membered rings are studied because four-membered rings have been previously shown to be a destabilizing influence. Insertion of oxygen atoms, which converts N-N bonds to N-O-N bonding groups, relieves ring strain and can potentially result in stable molecules. These molecules are studied by theoretical calculations, using Hartree-Fock and Moller-Plesset (MP3 and MP4) theories, to determine the dissociation energies of the molecules. The primary result of the study is that stable molecules can result from oxygen insertion but that oxygen-oxygen proximity destabilizes the insertion products.

Neue anorganische Ringsysteme X. Die sechsgliedrigen Ringsysteme PIIISi2N3, PIIISi2N2O und PvSi2N2O

Survey on the first-time syntheses of new inorganic ring systems in our team (scheme 1). – The title ring systems were prepared according to equ. (1–5) and varied in the compounds I–IX (table 1). Introduction of a P atom into the SiN ring system gives rise to a splitting of the proton signals of the substituents in the ¹H nmr spectra (table 2), mostly in cause of coupling, partly in cause of steric effects.     

Molecular and supramolecular features of oxo-peroxovanadium complexes containing O3N, O2N2 and ON3 donor sets

The complexes [VO(O2)Hbpa]+ (1a), [VO(O2)bpa] (1b, Hbpa = bis(picolyl)-beta-alanine), [VO(O2)heida]- (2, H2heida =N-(2-hydroxyethyl)iminodiacetic acid), [VO(O2)(3OH-pic)2]- (3a), [VO(O2)(3OH-pic)2]-/[V(O2)2(3OH-pic)2]- (3b, 3OH-pic = 3-hydroxypicolinic acid), [VO(O2)(3OH-pa)2] (6, 3OH-pa = 3-hydroxypicolylamide), [VO2(3OH-pic)2]- (4), [VO(tBuO2)(3OH-pic)2] (5) and [VO(tBuO2)(3OH-pa)2]2+ (7) have been characterised. The structures of 21a[ClO4].1b.2.25H2O, K.2H2O, [NH4].H2O and [nBu4]3b are reported. Supramolecular patterns arise from intermolecular hydrogen bonds, the relevance of which for the peroxo/hydroperoxo intermediates in oxo transfer reactions catalysed by vanadate-dependent haloperoxidases is addressed. Specific solution patterns have been analysed by 51V and 17O NMR.     

Quenching of N2(A3Σu+) by O2, O,N, and H

Metastable N₂(A³Σ_u⁺), υ = 0, υ = 1, molecules are produced by a pulsed Tesla-type discharge of a dilute N₂/Ar gas mixture. Rate coefficients for quenching these metastable levels by O₂, O, N, and H were obtained by time-resolved emission measurements of the (0, 6) and (1, 5) Vegard–Kaplan bands. In units of cm³/mole · sec at 300°K and with an experimental uncertainty of ±20%, these rate coefficients for N₂(A³Σu⁺) are Within the limits of error these coefficients apply to quenching N₂(A³Σ_u⁺) υ′ = 1 as well.

钴铈复合金属氧化物催化剂上氧化亚氮催化分解性能研究

采用共沉淀法制备了一系列钴铈复合金属氧化物催化剂CoCex(x=0～0.2,x为Ce/Co摩尔比),进行了比表面积和XRD表征,并考察了它们对氧化亚氮催化分解反应的活性.结果表明,随着铈添加量的增加,催化剂上钴尖晶石相的衍射峰逐渐宽化,同时催化剂的比表面积逐渐增大;催化剂的活性随着铈添加量的增加先升高,然后下降,CoCe0.05催化剂表现出了最佳催化活性.在对CoCe0.05催化剂制备条件的考察实验中发现,共沉淀过程中控制pH值在9左右,于400 ℃焙烧得到的催化剂的活性最好.当反应气氛中存在O2或H2O时,CoCe0.05催化剂上N2O的分解反应受到抑制,但这种影响是可逆的,可能是由于它们与N2O在相同的活性位上存在竞争吸附.

Synthesis of (15N2)[17O]Urea, (15N2)[O2, O4-17O2]Uridine,and (15N3)[O2-17O]Cytidine

A general synthetic approach for the synthesis of ¹⁵N- and ¹⁷O-doubly labelled pyrimidine nucleosides is described. The ¹⁵N isotopes in uridine and the ¹⁷O isotope in the urea-derived carbonyl group of uridine and cytidine originate from (¹⁵N₂)[¹⁷O]urea ( 5 ) which was synthesized from ¹⁵NH₄Cl, thiophosgene ( 1 ), and H₂[¹⁷O]. The third ¹⁵N isotope of cytidine in 4-position stems from the substitution of the 1,2,4-triazole moiety of (¹⁵N₂)[O²-¹⁷O]uridine derivative 8a/b with ¹⁵NH₄OH. Hydrolysis of the same key intermediate 8a/b with Na[¹⁷O]H/H₂[¹⁷O] introduced the second ¹⁷O isotope into the 4-position of uridine. The ¹⁵N- and ¹⁷O-NMR spectra of the target compounds 12 and 14 in phosphate-buffered H₂O serve as references for heteronuclear NMR spectra of labelled RNA fragments.     

Über das System N2O5-HNO3

Zusammenfassung Es wurde gezeigt, daß sich durch Auflösen von kristallisiertem N₂O₃ in 100% iger Salpetersäure höchstkonzentrierte Säuren herstellen lassen, die kaum durch N₂O₄ verunreinigt sind. Die Löslichkeit hat bei 90% Gesamt-N₂O₅ — nahezu entsprechend einem Verhältnis von N₂O₅.4HNO₃ (89·96% Gesamt-N₂O₅) — ihre Grenze erreicht. Von diesen Säuren wurden neben der chemischen Zusammensetzung bestimmt: spezifisches Gewicht, elektrische Leitfähigkeit, Dampfdruck, Siedepunkt, Gefrierpunkt, Lösungswärme, spezifische Wärme und Verhalten gegen Schmiedeeisen, Gußeisen und V2A-Stahl.Das spezifische Gewicht von N₂O₅ wurde bei 0° mit 2·05 festgestellt.
