Kinetics and mechanism of the ligand substitution reaction of aquodiethylenetriaminepentaacetatoruthenate (III) in aqueous solution

The kinetics of ligand substitution reactions of [Ru(H₂dtpa) (H₂O)] (2) (H₂dtpa=diprotonated diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid) were studied as a function of ligand (L) concentration, pH (2.5–8.0) and temperature (30–45 °C) at 0.2 M ionic strength. The equilibrium constants for the formation of mixed ligand complex [Ru^III(dtpa) (L)] (L=2-mercaptopyrimidine, cysteine) and the distribution of various species in solution in the pH range of 2.5–8.0 were computed from potentiometric results.

Salt effects in the reaction between IrCl62? and MnEDTA2?

The oxidation of MnEDTA^2–. (EDTA=ethylenediaminetetra-acetate) by hexachloroiridate(IV) has been studied in concentrated electrolyte solutions at 298 K. The estimation of the activity coefficients of the species from the Stokes-Robinson hydration theory indicates that the observed salt effects have their origin in a greater destabilization of the initial state with respect to the transition state when increasing salt concentration.

Photoionization of oriented molecules in a gas phase

Use of a coincidence technique for registration of fragment ions and photoelectroms from dissociative ionization of molecules opens the possibility of studying the photoionization of oriented molecules in a gas phase. The first results obtained by this technique for O₂ molecules are presented. The angular distribution of photoelectrons as a function of an angle between molecular axis and a photoelectron momentum is measured for theB ² _g ^– final ionic state using the HeI resonance radiation. From measured data it follows that the ratio of channel cross sections is /=0.67±0.08.     

Phase equilibrium diagram for the tin(II) iodide-copper(I) iodide system

The phase diagram of the SnI₂-CuI system was determined by the method of thermal analysis. No intermediates were found. It is suggested that limiting solid solutions of SnI₂ in-CuI,-CuI and-CuI, respectively, are formed. The eutectic point parameters (32.7 mol% CuI, 270.4 ±0.1 °C) and those of two invariant points (64.0 mol% CuI, 385.3 ±0.5 °C and 61.5 mol% CuI, 366.6±0.2 °C), corresponding to the equilibria+liquid and+liquid , respectively, were determined.Mittels Thermoanalyse wurde das Phasendiagramm SnI₂-CuI bestimmt.

Oscillatory reactions of sakhalin oil oxidation

After light irradiation of oil films on water surface the autoxidation process has been found to be of nonsteady auto-oscillatory character, which can be observed in rate oscillations of O₂ absorption. Also recorded have been intensity oscillations of the EPR signal from the radical counter added into an oil sample. Complex dynamics of autoxidation can be due to an autocatalytic process involving the participation of peroxides accumulated in oil during photooxidation., , , , O₂. , , . , , .     

Synthesis of 3-(3′-Acetyl-5′-aroyl-1′,3′,4′-oxadiazolyl-2′)-chromones

A general method has been proposed for synthesizing 3-(3-acetyl-5-aroyl-1,3,4-oxadiazolyl-2)-chromones that has been based on conversion of 3-formylchromones to acylhydrazones and of theacylhydrazones into the heterocyclic chromones.     

Kinetics of C2H4 polymerization on reduced V2O5/Al2O3 catalyst

Kinetic study of C₂H₄ polymerization on reduced V₂O₅/Al₂O₃ catalysts revealed that the rate equation can be expressed as V=k exp (-Y) K_aP_E/(1+K_aP_E) in the temperature range of –20 to 70°C. The deactivation constant, , was found to have a close relation with the yield and molecular weight of the polymer. C₂H₄ V₂O₅/Al₂O₃ –20 +70°C : V_p=k·exp(-Y_p)·K_aP_e/(1+K_aP_e). .

Chemisorptive characterization of Mn2+ cation effects on fused iron-catalysts

Volumetric and pulse chemisorptions of carbon monoxide (CO) have been developed to characterize effects of Mn²⁺ cations on an industrial doubly promoted fused iron catalyst. Addition of Mn²⁺ cations induces an increase in Fe dispersity, Fe electronic density and stability of the Mn²⁺-containing iron catalyst, where the same increase is observed by XPS and SEM. These effects explain why the activity of Mn²⁺-containing iron catalysts is improved. Mn²⁺ , . Mn²⁺ Fe, Fe , XPS SEM. . Mn²⁺ .

Thermodynamic studies of clathrate hydrates

Thermodynamic studies of clathrate hydrates, mainly of structures I and II, are considered in this review which is based on 147 references. There are two main subjects. The first is the host lattice energy and the guest-host interaction energy, both of these quantities being related to the enthalpy of dissociation and composition of the hydrates. The second subject concerns orientational ordering phenomena occurring in both host and guest, as reflected in the low temperature heat capacity. The classical theoretical treatment of clathrate formation has been reconsidered on the basis of recent experimental results. Particular emphasis has been given to orientational ordering since this topic is undoubtedly central to clarifying the nature of clathrate hydrates.Ausgehend von 147 Literaturangaben wurden in diesem Review thermodynamische Untersuchungen von Klathrathydraten hauptsächlich der Struktur I und II betrachtet. Es gibt zwei Hauptaugenmerke. Als erstes die Wirtsgitterenergie und die Gast-Wirt-Wechselwirkungsenergie, beide bezogen auf die Dissoziationsenthalpie und die Bildungsenthalpie der Hydrate. Das zweite Hauptaugenmerk betrifft Orientierungs-Konditionierungserscheinungen sowohl in Wirt als auch Gast, wie in den Wärmekapazitäten bei niedrigen Temperaturen widergespiegelt wird. Auf der Basis jüngster experimenteller Ergebnisse wurde die klassische theoretische Betrachtung über die Bildung von Klathraten überprüft. Der Orientierung-Konditionierung wurde besonderer Nachdruck verliehen, da dies zweifellos eine entscheidende Rolle bei der Klärung der Natur der Klathrathydrate spielt. 147 I II. . «» « — », . «» « », . . , .

On the mechanism of water dissociation on the surface of Al2O3. Quantum-chemical calculations

Quantum-chemical calculations of clusters modelling adsorption complexes on the -Al₂O₃ surface have been used to evaluate two points of view on the mechanism of surface dissociation of water molecules on this oxide. The calculations show that this process involves interaction of water molecules with basic surface oxygen atoms rather than with Lewis acid sites.- , -Al₂O₃, H₂O . , .

Kinetic studies of methylmercaptan production from dimethyl sulfide and H2S

Kinetic regularities of methylmercaptan production from dimethyl sulfide and H₂S in the presence of -Al₂O₃ have been studied under gradientless conditions. A stepwise reaction mechanism is suggested implying that the catalyst surface is methoxylated by methyl sulfide and then CH₃O groups interact with H₂S. The kinetic equation obtained describes fairly well this process on the nonhomogeneous catalyst surface. H₂S -Al₂O₃. , , CH₃O- H₂S. , .
