The mechanism of proton exchange: guided ion beam studies of the reactions, H(H2O)n+ (n=1-4)+D2O and D(D2O)n+ (n=1-4)+H2O

Reactions of protonated water clusters, H(H(2)O)(n) (+) (n=1-4) with D(2)O and their "mirror" reactions, D(D(2)O)(n) (+) (n=1-4) with H(2)O, are studied using guided-ion beam mass spectrometry. Absolute reaction cross sections are determined as a function of collision energy from thermal energy to over 10 eV. At low collision energies, we observe reactions in which H(2)O and D(2)O molecules are interchanged and reactions where H-D exchange has occurred. As the collision energy is increased, the H-D exchange products decrease and the water exchange products become dominant. At high collision energies, processes in which one or more water molecules are lost from the reactant ions become important, with simple collision-induced dissociation processes, i.e., those without H-D exchange, being dominant. Threshold energies of endothermic channels are measured and used to determine binding energies of the proton bound complexes, which are consistent with those determined by thermal equilibrium measurements and previous collision-induced dissociation studies. A kinetic scheme that relies only on the ratio of isomerization and dissociation rate constants successfully accounts for the kinetic energy dependence observed in the branching ratios for H-D and water exchange products in all systems. Rice-Ramsperger-Kassel-Marcus theory and ab initio calculations confirm the feasibility and establish the details of this kinetic model.

Kinetics of thermal dehydration of Ba(ClO3)2 · H2O

The kinetics of thermal dehydration of microcrystalline powders and single-crystals of barium chlorate monohydrate were studied by differential scanning calorimetry. The computer elaboration of thermal data showed that a single kinetic law could not account for the whole decomposition; moreover, different laws had to be used for powders than for single-crystals, whose reaction appeared diffusion-limited towards the end of the dehydration. Optical microscopy was extensively used as an independent source of information to clarify some of the thermal results and to gain a deeper insigth into the possible reaction mechanism.

Zusammenfassung Die Kinetik der thermischen Dehydratisierung mikrokristalliner, Pulver und einzelner Kristalle von Bariumchlorat Monohydrat wurde mittels Differential-Abtastkalorimetrie untersucht. Die Computerverarbeitung der thermischen Angaben zeigte, dass für die vollständige Zersetzung nicht ein einziges kinetisches Gesetz gültig ist, sondern, dass für Pulver, bzw. für einzelne Kristalle, deren Reaktion gegen Ende der Dehydratisierung als diffusionsbegrenzt erscheint, verschiedene Gesetze eingesetzt werden müssen. Als unabhängige Informationsquelle wurde die optische Miskroskopie weitläufig eingesetzt um einige thermische Ergebnisse zu klären und eine tiefere Einsicht in den möglichen Reaktionsmechanismus zu gewinnen.

Résumé La cinétique de la déshydratation thermique du chlorate de baryum monohydraté en poudres microcristallines et en monocristaux, a été étudiée par analyse calorimétrique différentielle (DSC). L'évaluation des données thermiques par ordinateur a montré qu'une seule loi cinétique n'était pas applicable à l'ensemble de la décomposition; de plus, dans le cas des poudres, on doit appliquer des lois différentes de celles des monocristaux dont la réaction paraît être limitée, vers la fin de la déshydratation, par la diffusion. La microscopie optique a été largement utilisée comme source indépendante d'information afin de clarifier certains résultats thermiques et d'acquérir une connaissance plus profonde du mécanisme probable de la réaction.

Vibrational spectroscopy of (SO4(2-)).(H2O)n clusters, n=1-5: harmonic and anharmonic calculations and experiment

The vibrational spectroscopy of (SO4(2-)).(H2O)n is studied by theoretical calculations for n=1-5, and the results are compared with experiments for n=3-5. The calculations use both ab initio MP2 and DFT/B3LYP potential energy surfaces. Both harmonic and anharmonic calculations are reported, the latter with the CC-VSCF method. The main findings are the following: (1) With one exception (H2O bending mode), the anharmonicity of the observed transitions, all in the experimental window of 540-1850 cm(-1), is negligible. The computed anharmonic coupling suggests that intramolecular vibrational redistribution does not play any role for the observed linewidths. (2) Comparison with experiment at the harmonic level of computed fundamental frequencies indicates that MP2 is significantly more accurate than DFT/B3LYP for these systems. (3) Strong anharmonic effects are, however, calculated for numerous transitions of these systems, which are outside the present observation window. These include fundamentals as well as combination modes. (4) Combination modes for the n=1 and n=2 clusters are computed. Several relatively strong combination transitions are predicted. These show strong anharmonic effects. (5) An interesting effect of the zero point energy (ZPE) on structure is found for (SO4(2-)).(H2O)(5): The global minimum of the potential energy corresponds to a C(s) structure, but with incorporation of ZPE the lowest energy structure is C2v, in accordance with experiment. (6) No stable structures were found for (OH-).(HSO4-).(H2O)n, for n相似文献   

Saccharinato complexes of Ce(V) with 2-hydroxypyridine: synthesis, spectroscopic and thermal characteristics of [Ce(sac)2(SO4)(H2O)4] and [Ce(sac)2(SO4)(PyOH)2

The synthesis of Ce(IV) complexes [Ce(sac)(2)(SO(4))(H(2)O)(4)] (1) and [Ce(sac)(2) (SO(4))(PyOH)(2)] (2) (sac=saccharinate, PyOH=2-hydroxypyridine) starting with sodium saccharinate is described. Their vibrational and nuclear magnetic resonance ((1)H, (13)C) spectra as well as their thermal mode of degradation were investigated. The data indicate that sac in complex 1 behaves as a monodentate ligand through the nitrogen atoms. Saccharinato ligand in complex 2 shows different mode of coordination, where it behaves as tridentate and binds Ce(IV) through its carbonylic oxygen, nitrogen and sulphonylic oxygen atoms. The most probable structure in complex 2 is that, units of [Ce(sac)(2)(SO(4))(PyOH)(2)] are linked by bridges of the O- of sac sulphonyl leading to polymeric chains.

Undissociated versus dissociated structures for water clusters and ammonia-water clusters: (H2O)n and NH3(H2O)n-1 (n = 5, 8, 9, 21). Theoretical study

To understand the autoionization of pure water and the solvation of ammonia in water, we investigated the undissociated and dissociated (ion-pair) structures of (H2O) n and NH3(H2O)n-1 (n = 5, 8, 9, 21) using density functional theory (DFT) and second order Moller-Plesset perturbation theory (MP2). The stability, thermodynamic properties, and infrared spectra were also studied. The dissociated (ion-pair) form of the clusters tends to favor the solvent-separated ion-pair of H3O+/NH4+ and OH-. As for the NH3(H2O)20 cluster, the undissociated structure has the internal conformation, in contrast to the surface conformation for the (H2O)21 cluster, whereas the dissociated structure of NH3(H2O)20 has the surface conformation. As the cluster size of (H2O)n/NH3(H2O)n-1 increases, the difference in standard free energy between undissociated and dissociated (ion-pair) clusters is asymptotically well corroborated with the experimental free energy change at infinite dilution of H3O+/NH4+ and OH-. The predicted NH and OH stretching frequencies of the undissociated and dissociated (ion-pair) clusters are discussed.

Kinetic study of the thermal dehydration of syngenite K2Ca(SO4)2·H2O under isothermal conditions

A study of the kinetics of the thermal dehydration of syngenite was carried out using the isothermal gravimetric method. Weight changes of the samples were followed by means of a Mettler Thermoanalyzer. The applicability of nine equations commonly used to describe the thermal decomposition of solids was investigated. The experimental results can be best represented, over the whole temperature range of the change, by the Avrami equation I $$[ - \ln (1 - \alpha )]^{1/2} = Kt$$ whereα=degree of decomposition,t=time, andK=rate constant. The activation energy deduced for the process is 51.8±3.7 kcal·mole^?1 and the log of the preexponential factor is 20.5±0.1.     

Kinetic study of the thermal dehydration of syngenite K2Ca(SO4)2·H2O under non-isothermal conditions

Different calculation methods applied to TG, DTG and DTA curves obtained with a Mettler Thermoanalyzer at one or several heating rates have been tested. It has been shown that the dehydration of syngenite can best be described by the Avrami equation I [–1n(1–)]^1/2=3.46·10²¹exp (–2.73·10⁴/T)·t where is the degree of decomposition,T the absolute temperature, andt the time.The mean value of the activation energy is 54 kcal·mole^–1. This is in good agreement with the results obtained under isothermal conditions. The method of atava and kvára, supplemented by the numerical tables of Zsakó, is most useful in obtaining the kinetic equations describing the thermal decomposition of solids.

Sequential hydration energies of the sulfate ion, from determinations of the equilibrium constants for the gas-phase reactions: SO4(H2O)(n)2- = SO4(H2O)(n-1)2- + H2O

Sequential hydration energies of SO4(H2O)(n)2- were obtained from determinations of the equilibrium constants of the following reactions: SO4(H2O)(n)2- = SO4(H2O)(n-1)2- + H2O. The SO4(2-) ions were produced by electrospray and the equilibrium constants Kn,n-1 were determined with a reaction chamber attached to a mass spectrometer. Determinations of Kn,n-1 at different temperatures were used to obtain DeltaG0n,n-1, DeltaH0 n,n-1, and DeltaS0n,n-1 for n = 7 to 19. Interference of the charge separation reaction SO4(H2O)(n)2- = HSO4(H2O)(n-k)- + OH(H2O)(k-1)- at higher temperatures prevented determinations for n < 7. The DeltaS0n,n-1 values obtained are unusually low and this indicates very loose, disordered structures for the n > or = 7 hydrates. The DeltaH0n,n-1 values are compared with theoretical values DeltaEn,n-1, obtained by Wang, Nicholas, and Wang. Rate constant determinations of the dissociation reactions n,n - 1, obtained with the BIRD method by Wong and Williams, showed relatively lower rates for n = 6 and 12, which indicate that these hydrates are more stable. No discontinuities of the DeltaG0n,n-1 values indicating an unusually stable n = 12 hydrate were observed in the present work. Rate constants evaluated from the DeltaG0n,n-1 results also fail to indicate a lower rate for n = 12. An analysis of the conditions used in the two types of experiments indicates that the different results reflect the different energy distributions expected at the dissociation threshold. Higher internal energies prevail in the equilibrium measurements and allow the participation of more disordered transition states in the reaction.     

A new aluminum hydroxide octamer, [Al8(OH)14(H2O)18](SO4)5 x 16H2O

Global search for minimum energy (H2O)n clusters, n = 3-5

The Gaussian-3 (G3) model chemistry method has been used to calculate the relative deltaG(o) values for all possible conformers of neutral clusters of water, (H2O)n, where n = 3-5. A complete 12-fold conformational search around each hydrogen bond produced 144, 1728, and 20,736 initial starting structures of the water trimer, tetramer, and pentamer. These structures were optimized with PM3, followed by HF/6-31G* optimization, and then with the G3 model chemistry. Only two trimers are present on the G3 potential energy hypersurface. We identified 5 tetramers and 10 pentamers on the potential energy and free-energy hypersurfaces at 298 K. None of these 17 structures were linear; all linear starting models folded into cyclic or three-dimensional structures. The cyclic pentamer is the most stable isomer at 298 K. On the basis of this and previous studies, we expect the cyclic tetramers and pentamers to be the most significant cyclic water clusters in the atmosphere.
