Preparation of μ-(η5:η5-Fulvalene)-di-μ-hydrido-bis(η5-cyclopentadienyltitanium) by the reduction of Cp2TiCl2 with LiAlH4 in aromatic solvents

Summary -(⁵:⁵-Fulvalene)-di--hydrido-bis(⁵-cyclopentadienyltitanium) (1) can be prepared by the reduction of Cp₂TiCl₂ with LiAlH₄ in methylbenzenes and in tetralin at their boiling temperatures in yields greater than 90%. The reduction proceedsvia the bis(⁵-cyclopentadienyl)titanium(III) chloride dimer which is further transformed into the unstable [Cp₂TiH] species. Thermal decomposition of the latter accompanied by hydrogen evolution gives rise to (1). -(⁵:⁵-Fulvalene)--hydrido--chloro-bis(⁵-cyclopentadienyltitanium), the first fulvalene containing compound observed in the system is formed by hydrido-chloro exchange of (1) with (Cp₂TiCl)₂ and aluminium chlorohydrides.     

Differential scanning calorimetry applied to cross-linking of a filled epoxy resin: Accuracy of the Borchardt and Daniels equation for describing the curing process kinetics

From the point of view of the chemical reactions describing the curing process of a mixture epoxy resin-dicarboxylic acid anhydride-tertiary amine-polyol and silica filler, it is difficult to understand the network formation: several different reactions are involved, so that the interaction between the epoxy resin and the other components of the mixture is unquestionably complex. However, a linear plot is obtained when Kissinger's method is applied to dynamic DSC results (four different scanning rates), which confirms the calculation assumptions. In particular, the Borchardt and Daniels equation, where the specific rate constant is assumed to be of Arrhenius form appears to be a good mathematical model for describing the curing process under dynamic DSC conditions. The apparent activation energy determined by means of this analytical method is in good agreement with those obtained by other methods in the literature.

Zusammenfassung Die bei der Härtung eines Epoxidharz, Dicarboxylsäure-Anhydrid, tertiäres Amin, Polyol und einen SiO₂-Füllstoff enthaltenden Gemisches vor sich gehende Vernetzung ist schwer zu überblicken; es verlaufen mehrere unterschiedliche Reaktionen, so daß die Wechselwirkung zwischen dem Epoxidharz und den anderen Komponenten außerordentlich komplex ist. Eine lineare Abhängigkeit wird jedoch erhalten, wenn dynamische DSC-Ergebnisse erhalten bei 4 verschiedenen Scanning-Geschwindigkeiten nach der Kissinger-Methode aufgearbeitet werden, was die Richtigkeit der für die Berechnung gemachten Annahmen bestätigt. Besonders die Gleichung von Borchardt und Daniel, bei deren Ableitung für die spezifische Geschwindigkeitskonstante eine Arrhenius-Form angenommen wird, scheint ein gutes mathematisches Modell zur Beschreibung des Härteprozesses unter DSC-Bedingungen zu sein. Die nach dieser Methode bestimmte scheinbare Aktivierungsenergie stimmt gut mit den nach anderen in der Literatur beschriebenen Methoden bestimmten Werten überein.

A thermal study on moisture absorption by epoxy composites

The water sorption kinetics of an epoxy matrix-carbon fiber composite with different degrees of polymerization was studied. It was observed that the diffusion coefficients, determined perpendicularly to the fiber direction, are increased by increasing the cure degree. Only a small portion of the bonded water is released when the specimen are heated to 200 °C.The effects of moisture on some properties of the composite were also investigated. TheT _g values determined on fully polymerized samples, show lowerings of 70 degrees; moreover, the plasticization power of the bonded water increases on decrease of the temperature of conditioning of the specimens.Finally, the water present in the matrix considerably reduces the thermal stability of the composite.

Zusammenfassung Es wurde die Wassersorptionskinetik eines Graphitfaserverbundstoffes auf Epoxymatrixbasis mit verschiedenen Polymerisationsgraden untersucht. Es zeigte sich, daß die senkrecht zur Faserrichtung bestimmten Diffusionskonstanten mit anwachsendem Vernetzungsgrad zunehmen. Beim Erhitzen des Materials auf 200 °C wird nur ein geringer Teil des gebundenen Wassers abgegeben. Der Einfluß des Feuchtgehaltes auf einige Eigenschaften des Verbundstoffes wurde ebenfalls untersucht. Die an vollkommen polymerisierten Proben bestimmtenT _g Werte zeigen eine Abnahme von 70 Grad; die Plastifizierungswirkung des gebundenen Wassers ist um so höher, je niedriger die Konditionierungstemperatur der Probe war. Das in der Matrix gegenwärtige Wasser senkt beträchtlich die Wärmebeständigkeit des Verbundstoffes.

The role of intra- and intermolecular hydrogen bonds in the formation of β-cyclodextrin head-to-head and head-to-tail dimers. The results of ab initio and semiempirical quantum-chemical calculations

The conformation of a free -cyclodextrin molecule optimized by the MNDO/PM3 quantum-chemical calculations has C₇ symmetry. The right orientation of the interglucose hydrogen bonds in -cyclodextrin, in which the 2-OH groups act as the proton donors and the O atoms of the nearby 3"-OH groups function as the proton acceptors, is advantageous for thermodynamic reasons. The ring of seven H bonds thus formed stabilizes the symmetrical form of -cyclodextrin. The -cyclodextrin head-to-head dimer has D ₇ symmetry and consists of molecules whose 2-OH groups partcipate as proton donors in the formation of fourteen complementary intermolecular hydrogen bonds. The energy of H bonds in the -cyclodextrin monomer and dimer was estimated to be 1.0--1.4 kcal mol^–1. Of the two possible -cyclodextrin dimers, the head-to-tail dimer is more thermodynamically stable. The thermodynamic preference of the right orientation of the inter-glucose H bonds in -cyclodextrin was confirmed by the MP2/6-31G(d,p)//6-31G(d,p) ab initio calculations for maltose (-glucodioside). The maltose molecule with inter-glucose H bonds of the type 2-OHO(3")-H is more stable than the structure with the H-(2)OH-O(3") orientation of H bonds with a difference of 2.7 kcal mol^–1. According to the MNDO/PM3 method, the maltose structure with the right H bond orientation is more stable by 3.1 kcal mol^–1.     

Interaction of Na+, K+, Li+ and Ca2+ ions in Tris-HCl buffer substrate with monolayers of phosphatidic acid and homologous phosphatidic acid alkyl esters

The interaction of ions (Na⁺, K⁺, Li⁺, Ca²⁺) with monolayers of phosphatidic acid alkyl esters (alkyl = methyl, ethyl,n-propyl,n-pentyl) were investigated at the air/water interface on Tris-HCl buffer, as well as on the electrolytes containing subphases.Qualitatively it can be stated that there are no considerable interactions between Na⁺ ions in the substrate and the head groups of phosphatidic acid esters in the monolayers. On the whole, the modification of the shape in the /a and v/a isotherms ( ^s = film pressure, v ^s = film potential) of the homologous phosphatidic acid esters as a function of the length of the ester group on the subphase containing NaCl, KCl, and LiCl corresponds to that on Tris-HCl buffer without admixture of electrolytes.On the other hand the strength of interaction between Ca²⁺ ions and the homologous phosphatidic acid esters depends on the length of the ester group. The film-condensing effect of Ca²⁺ ions becomes smaller with increasing length of the ester group.

Dehydration of lithium triphosphate pentahydrate,Li5P3O10· 5H2O

The kinetics of isothermal-isobaric dehydration of Li₅P₃O₁₀·5H₂O in vacuum (p=10^–1 hPa) and in water vapour atmosphere ( =23·hPa) was investigated by TG in the temperature range 40–140°. It was shown that the initial non-degradation removal of 1/10 of the crystal water, the rate of which is sensitive to , proceeds according to the laws of reversible topochemical reactions. In the next, irreversible degradation stage, where the bulk of the crystal water is removed, the kinetic characteristics of the process and the DSC effects exhibit a low sensitivity to the water vapour pressure. The peculiarities of Li₅P₃O₁₀·5H₂O dehydration were considered in comparison with the thermal behaviour of Na₅P₃O₁₀·6H₂O and K₅P₃O₁₀·4H₂O.

Zusammenfassung Die Kinetik der isotherm-isobaren Dehydratisierung von Li₅P₃O₁₀·5H₂O in Vakuum (p=10^–4 hPa) und in Wasserdampfatmosphäre ( =23 hPa) wurde durch TG im Temperaturbereich von 40–140° untersucht. Es wurde gezeigt, daß die anfängliche, noch keine Zersetzung zur Folge habende Eliminierung von 1/10 des Kristallwassers, deren Geschwindigkeit von abhängt, nach den Gesetzen der reversiblen topochemischen Reaktionen abläuft. Im nächsten irreversiblen Zersetzungsschritt, in dem die Hauptmenge des Kristallwassers austritt, sind die kinetischen Kennwerte des Prozesses und die DSC-Effekte nur wenig vom Wasserdampfdruck abhängig. Die Besonderheiten der Dehydratisierung von Li₅P₃O₁₀·5H₂O werden im Vergleich mit dem thermischen Verhalten von Na₅P₃O₁₀·6H₂O und K₅P₃O₁₀·4H₂O erörtert.

Intensity of the η(C≡C) Bands in the IR Spectra of Acetylene Derivatives and σR 0 Constants of Organosilicon,Organogermanium, and Organotin Substituents

The integral absorptivities of shape-characteristic (CC) bands in the IR spectra of 66 acetylene derivatives RCCX (R = H, Me₃M; X are inorganic and organic substituents) are related by a common linear equation to the _R ⁰ constants of the R and X substituents. The _R R⁰ constants of 10 Alk₃M substituents were calculated. The _R ⁰, _R , and _R ⁺ constants of Me₃M substituents were analyzed. The positive _R ⁰ values (0.12, 0.06, and 0.04 for R = Si, Ge, and Sn, respectively) suggest that in the ground electronic state of Me₃MCCX molecules the resonance acceptor effect of the Me₃M substituents (d, conjugation) prevails over donor (, conjugation). The first effect attenuates and the second enhances as the atomic number of M increases.

Analysis of thermal desorption spectra of oxygen desorbed from rhodium

Thermal desorption spectra of oxygen desorbed from rhodium have been analyzed in terms of models accounting for the effect of lateral interactions between adsorbed particles and of their diffusion into the bulk of metal on the desorption kinetics of O₂. Complex configuration of these spectra is ascribed to the processes of formation/decomposition of surface Rh oxides and the diffusion of particles into the near-surface layers of metal and back to the surface.
