These compounds were examined by the methods of infrared spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffractometry, UV-VIS reflectance spectroscopy, and also by the measurement of magnetic moments. The thermal stability, the stoichiometry of thermal decomposition and the mutual transformations were investigated with a derivatograph. The reactions proceeding according to the following schemes were observed if the system was heated to appropriate temperature: (I)(II)(III)(V)(IV) and (VI)(VII)(III)(V)(IV) Process (VII)(III) represents isomerization. The reversibility of the process (V)(IV) is due to the high hygroscopicity of the anhydrous complex. The changes in structure in the course of the individual processes are discussed.

Thermal decomposition of hydrazinium monoperchlorate in the molten state

The thermal decomposition of hydrazinium monoperchlorate (HP-1) in the molten state has been investigated using differential thermal analysis, thermogravimetric analysis, a constant volume manometric technique and mass-spectrometry. The stoichiometry of the reaction can be represented by the equation: 20 N₂H₅C1O₄ 13 NH₄C1O₄ + 3.5 Cl₂ + 2 O₂ + 13 N₂ + 0.5 N₂O + 0.5 H₂ + + 23.5 H₂OThe data seem to indicate that the mechanism, which involves an associated complex, remains unchanged from 140 to 190°. Consequently, impurities capable of forming associated complexes with the hydrazinium or the perchlorate ion desensitize the thermal decomposition of HP-1, the extent of desensitization being determined by the size, the charge and the concentration of the impurity.

Zusammenfassung Die thermische Zersetzung von Hydrazin-monoperchlorat (HP-1) im geschmolzenen Zustand wurde unter Einsatz der Differentialthermoanalyse, der thermogravimetrischen Analyse, der manometrischen Methode mit konstrantem Volumen und der Maßenspektrometrie untersucht. Die Stöchiometrie der Reaktion kann durch folgender Gleichung dargestellt werden: 20 N₂H₅C1O₄ 13 NH₄C1O₄ + 3.5 Cl₂ + 20₂ + 13 N₂ + 0.5 N₂O + 0.5 H₂ + 23.5 H₂ODie Angaben zeigen, dass der Mechanismus, in welchen ein assoziierter Komplex mit inbegriffen ist, im Temperaturenbereich von 140° bis 190° C unverändert bleibt. Folglich setzen Verunreinigungen, die mit dem Hydrazinoder dem Perchlorat-Ion assozüerte Komplexe zu bilden imstande sind, die Empfindlichkeit der thermischen Zersetzung von HP-1 herab, wobei das Ausmaß der Herabsetzung von der Grösse, der Ladung und der Konzentration der Verunreinigung abhängt.

Par conséquent, les impuretés qui pourraient former des complexes associés avec les ions hydrazinium ou perchlorate désensibilisent la décomposition thermique de HP-1, le taux de désensibilisation étant déterminé par la taille, la charge et la concentration de l'impureté.

Rhodium(I) carbonyl complexes with α-diimine ligands containing amino or hydroxy substituents

-Diimines, RN:C(R)C(R):NR(LL) derived from glyoxal, GLL (R=H) abbreviated as GAA (R= R=4-dimethylaminophenyl) or GHA (R= R=4-hydroxyphenyl), and derived from biacetyl, BLL (R=Me) abbreviated as BDH (R=R= NH₂), BOH (R=NH₂, R=OH) react with carbonylrhodium(I) compounds to give different products depending on the imino substituents in the ligand and/or the solvent employed. The reaction of -diimines bearing amino groups, such as GAA or BDH with [RhCl(CO)₂]₂ in acetone yields binuclear [RhCl(CO)₂]₂(-LL) while in CH₂Cl₂ ionic [Rh- (CO)₂(LL)]⁺[RhCl₂(CO)₂]^– species are obtained. In acetone [RhCl(CO)₂]₂(-GAA) exists as an equilibrium mixture between two different neutral binuclear species; [Rh(CO)₂(BDH)]⁺ exists as a mixture of two species containing chelate or monodentate bonded diimine respectively. GAA or BDH react in situ with [RhCl(CO)(C₂H₄)]₂ in benzene to yield tetracoordinated monocarbonylated [RhCl(CO)(LL)] compounds. -Diimines (LL) bearing hydroxy groups, such as GHA or BOH react with [RhCl(CO)₂]₂ or [RhCl(CO)(C₂H₄)]₂ to give pentacoordinated dicarbonylated [RhCl(CO)₂(LL)] compounds.

Comparative selectivities of two copper-based catalysts: Mixed Cu?Cr and Cu?Al oxides for allylic alcohol reactions in the presence of molecular hydrogen

In the presence of mixed copper-chromium (aluminium) oxide, allylic alcohols react with molecular hydrogen and lead to several primary products. This is due to the simultaneous presence of two active sites in the mixed oxides. Copper species (Cu⁺) are responsible for hydrogenation (HYD) and the chromium (Cr³⁺) (aluminium [Al³⁺]) species for the isomerization (I) and the hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) reactions. However, the stronger acidic character of Al³⁺, compared with Cr³⁺, entails some differences evidenced by the HYD/(I+HDO) and HDO/I ratios.

Complex polarizability as used to analyze dielectric relaxation measurements

The effect of representing dielectric properties in terms of the complex polarizability ^c = – i is examined. Loss curves ( and tan ) are shifted towards higher frequencies, revealing the existence of new relaxations and allowing the clarifications of ones already known. We have calculated the shift ratios (at maximum or tan )/ (at maximum or tan ) from the more conventional empirical equations representing the dielectric behavior. Some examples are given.     

Thermogravimetric and kinetic study of a clodronic acid complex formed with sodium

Thermal stability of the clodronic acid complex formed with sodium (Na₂CCl₂(HPO₃)₂ ·4H₂O) was studied using both dynamic and isothermal thermogravimetric analyses as well as mass spectra. The thermal decomposition has two stages: dehydration and loss of two molecules of hydrogen chloride. Using the isothermal TG data the first step was found to be a phase-boundary reaction while the second step obviously cannot be described with just one reaction mechanism. The final residue of the dynamic TG analyses above 810 K was found to be sodium metaphosphate.

Zusammenfassung Sowohl mittels dynamischer und thermogravimetrischer Untersuchungen als auch and Hand von Massenspektren wurde die thermische Stabilität des mit Natrium gebildeten Säurekomplexes Na₂CCl₂(HPO₃)₂·4H₂O untersucht. Die thermische Zersetzung vollzieht sich in zwei Schritten: Dehydratation und Verlust von zwei Molekülen HCl. Auf Grund der isothermen TG Angaben ist der erste Schritt eine Phasengrenzreaktion, während der zweite Schritt mit einem einzigen Reaktionsmechanismus nicht eindeutig beschrieben werden kann. Das Endprodukt der DTG Analyse oberhalb 810 K erwies sich als Natriummethaphosphat.

The direction of elimination in the pyrolysis kinetics of 3-bromobutyronitrile

The gas phase elimination of 3-bromobutyronitrile, examined in a static system and seasoned vessel, follows a first-order rate law. The reaction in the temperature range of 370.0–420.1°C and pressure range of 54–198 torr, is homogeneous and unimolecular. The temperature dependence of the rate coefficient is given by the equation: log k₁ (s^–1)=(13.74±0.25)–(213.7±3.2) kJ mol^–1 (2.303RT)^–1. The cyano substituent has been found to retard the elimination process through its electronwithdrawing resonance effect. Most of the dehydrobromination product is cis-trans-crotonitrile, while very little of allyl cyanide is obtained. This result is rationalized in terms of electronic factors.

In the presence of zeolites, dimethyl sulfide is produced either through CH₃OH interaction with H₂S or via CH₃SH decomposition. In accordance with their activities, in both reactions, zeolites arrange in the same sequence: HZSMHNaY>NaXNaY. Realization of the reaction CH₃OH+H₂S is more difficult compared to methanethiol decomposition.
