A New Formulation of the Lindemann Mechanism of Unimolecular Reactions

A new formulation of the Lindemann mechanism of unimolecular reactions in gaseous phase is presented, without the use of steady state hypothesis. It is hereby shown that the nature of applicability of steady state hypothesis in the regime of high reactant gas pressure is different from that in the regime of low gas pressure. In the former case it is an equilibrium approximation, while in the latter case it is a highly reactive intermediate approximation in no connection with a steady state. Furthermore for the latter case it is shown that in the classical formulation of Lindemann mecbRnism the use of steady state hypothesis is an ad hoc assumption. A highly reactive intermediate in the sense that its concentration is very small during the whole course of reaction is a necessary condition for the applicability of very reactive intermediate approximation. When the two distinctive nature of the applicability of steady state hypothesis is mlxed-up, wrong or useless conclusion may be arrived at. The only possible case of realizing a true steady state in a complex reaction is pointed out.

Interaction in Binary Mixtures of Gemini Surfactant G12-6-12 and CTAB by NMR

The interaction between N, N′-bis（dimethyldodecyl）-1,6-hexanediammoniumdibromide （G12-6-12） and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide （CTAB） in D20 aqueous medium has been investigated by NMR at 298 K. The G12-6-12 and CTAB are about 0.773 and measured critical micelle concentration （cmc） of 0.668 mmol/L, respectively. The cmc^＊ （cmc of mixture） values are less than CMC^＊ （cmc of ideally mixed solution） in the mixed system, and the interaction parameter βM〈0 at different molar fractions α of G12-6-12 in the mixed systems, but just when α≤0.3, cmc^＊ values are much smaller than CMC^＊, and βM satisfies the relation of ｜βM｜〉｜ln（cmc1/cmc2）｜ （cmcl： cmc of pure G12-6-12 and cmc2： cmc Of pure CTAB）. The results indicate that there exists synergism between G12-6-12 and CTAB, and they can form mixed micelles, which is further proven by 2D NOESY and self-diffusion coefficient D experiments. There are intermolecular cross peaks between G12-6-12 and CTAB in 2D NOESY, and the radius of micelles in mixed solution is bigger than that in G12-6-12 pure solution in D experiments, indicating there are mixed micelles. However, when α〉0.3, we find that cmc^＊≈CMC^＊, βM≈0, obviously, the two surfactants are almost ideal mixing fitting the pseudo-phase separation model and regular solution theory.     

Tendency and Fractal Pattern of Migration of Trace Elements in Source Rocks During Thermal Event

The reactivation of trace elements in source rocks is fundamental in the formation of many economic deposits. Although transport by fluid flow and infiltration is very effective along visible fractures, the migration of trace elements from the inner part of solid cells to the weaknesses is much less efficient, and so becomes the bottleneck in the migration of these elements from their initial positions in the source rock to the final deposition site in an ore body. Diffusion may play a key role in the reactivation of trace elements. The overall migration pattern of trace elements in source rocks is characterized by an embedded sink mosaic structure, which possesses the self-similarity of a fractal. There are two general migration tendencies of trace elements. One is from within solid cells, such as mineral grains, toward the sink, consisting of weaknesses in the source rock. The other is from high-temperature fields toward low-temperature ones. High temperature favors the realization of these two tenden     

Effect of surfactant structure on catalysis of microemulsion for photoisomerization of trans-stilbene

In this study,the photoisomerization of trans-sfilbene was carried out in water in oil (W/O) microemulsions by using sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS),dodecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (DTAB) and cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) as surfactant,respectively.The catalytic effect of microemulsion on this reaction is closely related to the structure of surfactant.When there is no photosensitizer 9,10-dicyanoanthracene (DCA),the surfactant with shorter hydrophobic chain is preferred,while in the presence of DCA,the surfactant with anionic polar group is preferred.     

Distribution and forms of phosphorus in tidal flat sediments of the Yangtze Estuary and coast

The distribution and forms of phosphorus (P) were investigated in the tidal flat sediments of the Yangtze Estuary and coast. The total P contents in surface sediments range from 18.0 to 31.4 μmol · g-1 along the southern coast. The spatial and temporal distribution of P in tidal flats is closely related to the location and pollution resources, especially in association with the variation of hydrodynamic conditions. Significant variations in the forms of P in different sites were observed. P bonded with Ca(Ca-P) is the dominant mineral form in all surface sediments, organic P(Org-P) is lower. Most P is of unstable form, suggesting that P has larger potential activity. P accumulation is the main behavior process between water and sediment in the coastal environment of the Yangtze Estuary.     

Theoretical study of the separation mechanism of ionizable compounds in capillary electrochromatography

The migration mechanism of ionizable compounds in capillary electrochromatography (CEC) is more complicated than in high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) due to the involvement of electrophoresis and the second chemical equilibrium. The separation mechanism of ionizable compounds in CEC has been studied theoretically. The electrochromatographic capacity factors of ions (k~*) in CEC and in the pressurized CEC are derived by phenomenologicai approach. The influence of pH, voltage, pressure on k~* is discussed. In addition, the k~* of weak acid and weak base are derived based on acid-base equilibrium and the influence of pH on k~* is studied theoretically.

Promoting the Activity of Bifunctional Catalysts for Autoxidation of 1-Octanethiol

Mercaptans in petroleum products wreck the quality of finished products, so it is necessary to remove them in petroleum refining industry. Merox fixed-bed process is widely used in which mercaptans are converted by contacting feedstock with a metal phthalocyanine catalyst in the presence of air and an alkaline agent. However, use of caustic brings a spent caustic disposal problem so that novel caustic-free catalysts are highly desired to meet environment requirements1-3. It is not just simply …

Electric dipole moments of thietane in excited states of the ring puckering vibration: an experimental and ab initio study

The electric dipole moment in the ground state (v_p = 0) and the first five excited states (v_p = 1 … 5) of the ring puckering vibration of thietane have been determined from Stark shifts of rotational transitions. The results are: 0|μ_a|0 = 1.87583(16) D, 1|μ_a|1 = 1.87341(18) D, 2|μ_a|2 = 1.89759(28) D, 3|μ_a|3 = 1.88688(29) D, 4|μ_a|4 = 1.90036(18) D, 5|μ_a|5 = 1.88596(59) D. The dependence of these values on v_p shows the zig-zagging behaviour typical of modes with double minimum potentials. A combined analysis of the ground and first excited states yielded also a precise value for the transition moment, 0|μ_c|1 = 0.24023(49) D.

A potential and electric dipole moment function has been derived from ab initio calculations, using MP2 and the 6–31G** basis set. Expectation values of the dipole and transition moments were determined from these data. Absolute values are about 5% in error, but the variation with vibrational state is reproduced excellently by the theoretical values.

Determination of the hyperfine coupling constant and zero-field splitting in the ESR spectrum of Mn(2+) in calcite

The hyperfine coupling constant (A in units of energy or A' in units of magnetic field) and zero-field splitting (D in units of energy or D' in units of magnetic field) in the ESR spectrum of Mn(2+) in calcite were determined. The spreading of the non-central allowed transitions |3/2, m --> |5/2, m, |1/2, m --> |3/2, m, |-3/2, m --> |-1/2, m and |-5/2, m --> |-3/2, m was analysed and the experimental transitions were attributed. Particular relevance was given to the difference between the two types of resonances, shoulder or divergence, and to their origin (M, m). The analysis explains the presence of a weak shoulder between each of the five central doublets |-1/2, m --> |1/2, m. Six independent methods for calculating the hyperfine coupling constant and five methods for calculating the zero-field splitting, based on the analysis of the allowed and forbidden transitions, were provided. The values of the hyperfine coupling constant range from -93.9 to -94.6 G and those of the zero-field splitting range from -79.5 to -80.5 G. A critical evaluation of the advantages and drawbacks of the 11 methods is included: the best value for A' is -94.30 G and that for D' is -79.95 G.

Electrochemical studies of complex fluorides in non-aqueous solvents

Electrochemical studies on hydrolytically unstable complex fluorides have been shown to be possible in highly purified acetonitrile. The techniques of study will be described briefly. A survey of the results obtained to date wille given.MoF₆ is a stronger oxidising agent than WF₆ by 1.06 volts. Neither |MoF₆|^? nor |WF₆|^? can be reduced below |MF₆|^? in acetonitrile. |UF₆|^? can be reduced to the transient species |UF₆|^2? which is unstable in solution. |OsF₆|^? undergoes successive reduction to |OsF₆|^2? and |OsF₆|^3?.|MF₆L|^? undergoes complex electrochemical behaviour involving reduction to |MF₆L|^2? with subsequent dissociation to |MF₆|^? and L^?. Reoxidation is in the presence of L^? and hence none of the redox steps are fu]ly reversible. The relation between the electrode potentials and the ligand L will be discussed.We thank NATO for a grant in support of this work.     

Deuterium isotope effect on the atomic orbital alignment dependence in the reaction of the oriented Ar (3P2) with CH3CN (CD3CN)

Atomic orbital alignment effect was observed for the CN (B2Sigma+) formation in the reaction of oriented Ar (3P2) with CH3CN (CD3CN). The relative cross-sections for each magnetic MJ' substrate in collision frame sigmaH|MJ'| for CH3CN and sigmaD|MJ'| for CD3CN, were determined to be sigmaH0:sigmaH|1|:sigmaH|2|:sigmaD0:sigmaD|1|:sigmaD|2| = 1.00:0.81:0.84:2.01:1.92:1.87. A significant atomic orbital alignment effect was observed. In addition, a notable deuterium isotope effect was observed on both the cross-section and the atomic orbital alignment effect.
