Volumetric Parameters of Interaction of Monosaccharides (D-xylose,D-arabinose,D-glucose,D-galactose) with NaI in Water at 298.15 K

Densities for monosaccharide (D-xylose, D-arabinose, D-glucose, D-galactose)–NaI–water solutions were measured at 298.15 K and were used to calculate the apparent molar volumes of these saccharides and NaI. Infinite dilution apparent molar volumes for the saccharides (V_,S) in aqueous NaI and those for NaI (V_,E) in aqueous saccharide solutions and partial molar volumes of the saccharides (V_S) and NaI (V_E) at each composition have been evaluated, together with the standard transfer volumes of the saccharides (_tr V_S) from water to aqueous NaI and those of NaI (_trV_E) from water to aqueous saccharide solutions. It was shown that the _tr V_S and _trV_E values are positive and increase with increasing co-solute molalities. Volumetric parameters indicating the interactions of NaI with saccharides in water were also obtained and applied to explore the interactions between saccharides and NaI in water. A comparison of the _ES value for NaI with those for NaCl and NaBr showed that for a given saccharide, except for glucose, the _ES value for NaBr is the largest of three sodium halides (NaCl, NaBr and NaI). These were interpreted in terms of the apparent molar electrostriction volumes ( V_e) and the structure interaction model.     

Study of the polymerization of some methacrylic acid esters by differential scanning calorimetry

The strengths of the gel effect, and the monomer conversions at which the gel effect sets in for the polymerizations of some methacrylic acid esters, were determined at different temperatures from the courses of polymerization measured by differential scanning calorimetry. It was found that the strength of the gel effect is greatly influenced by the reaction temperature and the ester residue in the molecule of the monomer, whereas the critical conversion for individual monomers is practically independent of the reaction temperature in the measured interval, but is strongly dependent on the length of the ester residue.

Zusammenfassung Die Stärke des Geleffektes und die Monomerkonversion, bei der der Geleffekt bei der Polymerisation einiger Methacrylsäureester einsetzt, werden aus dem Verlauf der Polymerisation in Abhängigkeit von der Temperatur mittels DSC gemessen. Es wurde festgestellt, daß die Stärke des Geleffekts stark von der Temperatur und dem Esterrest im Molekül des Monomeren beeinflußt wird, während die kritische Konversion individueller Monomere praktisch unabhängig von der Temperatur im untersuchten Bereich ist, jedoch im starken Maße von der Länge des Esterrestes abhängt.

Temperature dependence of apparent molar volumes and viscosity B-coefficients of amino acids in aqueous potassium thiocyanate solutions from 15 to 35°C

Precise density and viscosity data at 15, 25 and 35°C for solutions of glycine, DL-alanine, L-threonine, -alanine, -aminobutyric acid and -aminocaproic acid in water and in (1m, 3m, 5m) aqueous potassium thiocyanate were measured and the limiting apparent molar volumes V ^o and the B-coefficients calculated. The V ^o and B values were split into the contributions from the NH ₃ ⁺ ,COO^– and CH₂ groups. These data are rationalized on the basis of hydrophillic and hydrophobic interactions between the various groups present in these solutions.Abstracted from the Ph.D Thesis of R. K.

Oscillatory variation in EMF developed due to additions of TiO2 pretreated thermally and γ-irradiated to various doses in the concentration cell made up of Ag/Ag+

Several powder samples of TiO₂ are pretreated thermally at 300, 480 and 540°C, subjected to -irradiation and after irradiation added in one of the compartment of the concentration cell made up of Ag/Ag⁺. The adsorbed oxygen species O _2ad ^– , HO _2ad ^– and O _ad ^– on TiO₂ provide negatively charged sites and develop EMF in the cell. The radiation damage, measured in terms of equilibrium EMF, received at lower doses is partially recovered at higher doses. It is proposed that in heating at 480°C, ad species react with Ti³⁺ ions in the surface and produce –O–O– peroxy linkages and block the negatively charged sites while in heating at 540°C Ti₄O₇ phase is produced on the surface which adsorbs O₂ and provide large number of negatively charged sites. During -irradiation peroxy linkages are broken and the Ti₄O₇ phase is destroyed. Observed oscillatory variation in equilibrium EMF is explained on the basis of several reactions mentioned above proceeding at different rates during radiolysis.

Phase Transitions in the BaCe1–x Nd x O3–δ System (x = 0–0.15)

Phase transitions in BaCe_{1 – x} Nd _x O_3– (x = 0–0.15) are studied on ceramic samples by dilatometry (at 370–1100 K) and by measuring electroconductivity (at 750–1220 K). Ion transport numbers are measured by an EMF method at 850–1240 K. All measurements are done in dry air (₂ 40 Pa). By treating the obtained temperature dependences of linear expansion with a difference method (difference between first-degree polynomial approximating the dependence and experimental points), the position and the sort of the phase transitions are determined. High-temperature phase transitions are confirmed by measuring the electroconductivity and ion transport numbers. Second-order phase transitions in pure BaCeO₃ are discovered at 480 ± 10, 530 ± 10, 900 ± 10, 1030 ± 20, and 1170 ± 10 K and a first-order transition, at 665 ±10 K. Phase transitions at 900 and 1030 K are discovered for the first time ever.     

Couplage vibronique et anisotropie paramagnétique dans un complexe cubique 2 T 2 soumis à un champ trigonal

The influence of vibronic coupling on the average paramagnetism and the paramagnetic anisotropy of a cubic complex, the electronic ground state ²T₂ of which is perturbed by a trigonal field, is investigated. It is necessary to introduce the following parameters: the spin-orbit coupling coefficient , the vibronic coupling coefficient x, the frequency _g3 of the E modes of vibration, the splitting of the ² T ₂ level in the trigonal field and the covalence parameter k.For given x and , the influence of the vibronic coupling is more important if in the trigonal field the electronic ground state of the complex is ²E than if it is ²A. For given x and v (=/), the smaller ¦¦, the greater the influence of vibronic coupling. The respective effects of vibronic coupling and covalence are compared. Finally, the case of the first row transition-metal complexes is briefly discussed.

An intermediate neglect of differential overlap technique for spectroscopy: Pyrrole and the azines

An LCAO-MO-SCF-CI model along the lines introduced by Del Bene and Jaffé is developed that is capable of reproducing the better identified observed spectra of nitrogen heterocycles with a rms error of 1000 cm^–1. The model is applied to the spectra of pyrrole, benzene, pyridine, the diazines, symmetric triazine and symmetric tetrazine. The benzene and pyridine spectra are reproduced nearly exactly. The band observed in pyrrole at 6.5 eV is calculated as two bands at 6.5 eV, but they are assigned ^* and not . No evidence is found for the low lying ¹ B _2g in pyrazine, reported at 30400 cm^–1 in pure crystals. The lowest excited singlet of sym. triazine is calculated as ¹ E (n ^*), not ¹ A2 (n), in agreement with a recent interpretation of Fischer and Small. Several bands are reassigned, and the electronic nature of the transitions discussed. Naphthalene and quinoxaline are examined to insure that no large drift of results are met with molecules of other sizes. Comparison of eigenvalues with molecular ionization potentials is made. Here the numerical agreement appears satisfactory for the first few ionization potentials only.     

Decreased surfactant activity coefficients in polymer-surfactant mixtures

The SDS unimer concentration in a series of mixed anionic/non-ionic surfactant solutions comprising sodium dodecylsulphate (SDS) and sugar-based dodecyl bis-N-methyl gluconamides (C₁₂BNMG) have been studied using an anionic surfactant selective electrode, both in the presence and absence of the polyampholyte gelatin. The activity of the SDS has been calculated at the critical micelle concentration (CMC) in the gelatin-free studies and at CMC(1) in the gelatin studies. From the known solution composition, the activity coefficients can be calculated; these show deviations from unity around a solution mole fraction (_SDS) of 0.95 SDS in both cases. The deviation is significantly greater in the presence of gelatin, to an extent that the SDS activity versus _SDS curve exhibits a maximum and a minimum in the region _SDS=0.8–1.0, consistent with the possibility of coexisting micelle types, in agreement with our earlier NMR study (Griffiths et al. (1998) J Chem Soc Chem Comm 1:53).     

Komplexe von Cu(II), Zn(II), Ni(II) und Mn(II) mit N-m-Tolyl-p-methylbenzhydroxamsäure

The thermodynamic proton ligand and metal ligand stability constants of N-m-tolyl-p-methylbenzohydroxamic acid with Cu(II), Zn(II), Ni(II), and Mn(II) have been determined at 25° and 35° in several dioxane-water media. The pK _a and logK ₁ (logK ₂ or log ₂) varies linearly with the mole fraction of dioxane at a given temperature but not linearly with the reciprocal of dielectric constants of the medium. Values of G ^o, H ^o, and S ^o are tubulated. The stabilities of the complexes mostly follow the order of electron affinities of the metal ions. An attempt has been made to calculate the ligand field stabilization energy of the complexes.

Linear and hyperbolic temperature programming in non-isothermal kinetics

The method suggested by several authors for determining the mechanism of solid-phase transformations by linearizing the function Ing() vs. 1/T is more correct for a hyperbolic temperature change than for a linear temperature change. In the latter case, the method yields reliable results only under the condition that the relationship Ing()/T ² vs. 1/T is linear. The well-known Horowitz-Metzger method is essentially suited for processing thermokinetic curves obtained under hyperbolic heating or cooling.

Zusammenfassung Die von mehreren Autoren vorgeschlagene Methode den Mechanismus von Umwandlungen in der Festphase durch Linearisierung der Funktion zwischen Ing() und 1/T zu bestimmen ist für hyperbolische TemperaturÄnderungen korrekter als für die lineare TemperaturÄnderung. In letzterem Falle ergibt die Methode nur unter der Bedingung zuverlÄssige Ergebnisse, da\ der Zusammenhang zwischen Ing()/T ² und 1/T linear ist. Die bekannte Methode nach Horowitz-Metzger eignet sich im Wesentlichen zur Bearbeitung thermokinetischer Kurven bei hyperbolischem Aufheizen oder Kühlen.

Résumé La méthode proposée par plusieurs auteurs pour déterminer le mécanisme des transformations en phase solide en linéarisant la fonction reliant In g() et 1/T est plus correcte lorsque les variations de température suivent un régime hyperbolique qu'elle ne l'est pour les régimes linéaires. Dans ce dernier cas, la méthode ne fournit des résultats fiables qu'à la condition que la relation entre Ing()/T ² et 1/T soit linéaire. La méthode bien connue d'Horowitz — Metzger s'applique essentiellement au traitement des courbes obtenues avec des lois d'échauffement ou de refroidissement hyperboliques.

Gold(I) Formamidinate Clusters: The Structure, Luminescence, and Electrochemistry of the Tetranuclear, Base-Free [Au4(ArNC(H)NAr)4]

The structures of the tetragold(I) formamidinate cluster complexes, [Au₄(ArNC(H)NAr)₄], Ar=C₆H₄-4-OMe (1), C₆H₃-3,5-Cl (2), C₆H₄-4-Me (3), have been characterized by x-ray crystallography. The range of AuAu distances is 2.8–3.0 Å. The angles at AuAuAu are acute and obtuse 70 and 109°, 88 and 91°, and 63 and 116° in 1, 2, and 3, respectively. The four gold atoms are located at the corner of a rhomboid with the formamidinate ligands bridged above and below the near plane of the four Au(I) atoms. The tetranuclear gold(I) complexes show a bright blue-green luminescence under UV light, with an emission at 490 nm and a weak emission at 530 nm in the solid state, at room temp and 77 K. The oxidation of the formamidinate cluster, 1, has been studied electrochemically in 0.1 M Bu₄NPF₆/CH₂Cl₂ at a Pt working electrode with different scan rates. Three waves were obtained, 0.75, 0.95, and 1.09V vs. Ag/AgCl at a scan rate of 500 mV/s, the three waves are reversible. The potentials are independent of the scan rate in the range 50 mV/s to 3 V/s. The current at the third wave is larger than those at the first two.     

Adsorption Isotherm Accounting for the Electrode Elasticity: Special Solutions

The single-phase adsorption on a solid electrode out of a dilute solution is investigated. As a continuation of the previous paper, on the basis of the complete electrocapillarity equation, an adsorption isotherm equation is derived and supplemented by equations of compatibility of the physical quantities. The equations contain a new parameter, , which is a derivative of the dimensionless surface adsorbate concentration by the relative variation of the electrode surface area. Their solution is obtained in relation to the dimensionless charge density of the electrode surface q for the case of = (). As a result of employing a linear model for q by , the problem of determination of the unknown model functions is reduced to common differential equations that use the capacitance or estance curves as the boundary conditions. In the first case, we suggest to calculate the unknown integration parameter by the method of mathematical optimization, employing coulometric data.

Einfluß der Sensor-Zeitkonstanten auf die Auswertbarkeit von Ta-Daten

All temperature sensors have a finitely time constant. The influence of the sensor time constant gt_s on the results of kinetic evaluation is demonstrated at four reaction types. The ignorance of the sensor indolence gives incorrect activation parameters. Therefore the determination of _s is necessary.For the estimation of parameters the nonlinear evaluation program TA-kin was used. With its help it is possible to find the real parameters, also when _s=32 s, if the real _s-value was entered.

     

Correlation of the molecular orbitals of organic sulfides (selenides) and five-membered heterocyclic compounds by photoelectron spectroscopy

The structure and the correlation of the molecular orbitals were studied for divinyl chalcogenides and the isoelectronic five-membered heterocyclic compounds by photoelectron spectroscopy (PES). It was shown that the two frontier orbitals are inverted in the transition from divinyl sulfide to thiophene, while the heterocyclization of divinyl selenide is accompanied by quasidegeneration. According to PES, the orbital structure of the alkyl vinyl chalcogenides does not depend on the nature of the heteroatom (S, Se) or on the structure of the alkyl radical: ₂ < ₁ < ₂ < ₂. Linear correlations were obtained between the energies of the ₁ and ₂ MOs of the investigated groups of compounds, i.e., one for the vinyl Sulfides (selenides) and thiophenes (selenophenes) and another for the saturated derivatives of sulfur and selenium. The correlations in the compounds of the various chalcogens do not coincide, although they are similar.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 10, pp. 2317–2324, October, 1991.
