Dissolution nature of the lithium hydroxide by water molecules

The structures, stabilities, thermodynamic quantities, dissociation energies, infrared spectra, and electronic properties of LiOH hydrated by up to seven water molecules are investigated by using the density-functional theory and the M?ller-Plesset second-order perturbation theory (MP2). Further accurate analysis based on the coupled-cluster theory with singles, doubles, and perturbative triples excitations agrees with the MP2 results. The Li-OH stretch mode significantly shifts with the increase of water molecules, and it eventually disappears upon dissociation. It is revealed that seven water molecules are needed for the stable dissociation of LiOH (as a completely dissociated conformation), in contrast to the cases of RbOH and CsOH which require four and three water molecules, respectively.     

Pseudopotential studies of the water and hydrogen fluoride molecules

A model pseudopotential is used to calculate valence electron properties for H₂O and HF. The calculated geometries, force constants, and ionization potentials are in excellent agreement with the results of corresponding all-electron calculations.

Aqua dissociation nature of cesium hydroxide

To understand the mechanism of aqueous base dissociation chemistry, the ionic dissociation of cesium-hydroxide in water clusters is examined using density functional theory and ab initio calculations. In this study, we report hydrated structures, stabilities, thermodynamic quantities, dissociation energies, infrared spectra, and electronic properties of CsOH(H(2)O)(n=0-4). With the addition of water molecules, the Cs-OH bond lengthened significantly from 2.46 A for n=1 to 3.08 A for n=4, which causes redshift in Cs-O stretching frequency. It is found that three water molecules are needed for the dissociation of Cs-OH, in contrast to the case of strong acid dissociation which requires at least four water molecules. However, the dissociation for n=3 could be considered as incomplete because a very weak CS em leader OH stretch mode is still present, while that for n=4 is complete since the Cs em leader OH mode no longer exists. This study can be related with hydration chemistry of cations and anions, and extended into the intra- and intercharge-transfer phenomena.     

Four-proton migrations in associates of two molecules of formic acid with two molecules of water or hydrogen fluoride

The mechanisms of proton transfer in associates of two molecules of formic acid with two molecules of water or hydrogen fluoride were studied usingab initio (SCF/6-31G^**) method. Cooperative (concerted, or one-step) four-proton transfer occurs in the associates studied. The structures of the transition states are in complete agreement with the previously proposed concept of stereochemical correspondence for cooperative reactions. The calculated energy barriers to cooperative proton transfer in the associates investigated are 32.9 and 24.2 kcal mol^–1, respectively.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Removal of fluoride from fluoride contaminated industrial waste water by electrolysis

Wastewater containing fluoride are generally treated with lime or calcium salt supplemented with aluminium salts. Wastewater generated from different industries does not always behave in the same way due to the presence of interfering contaminants. A number of techniques have been developed and studied for the removal of excessive fluoride. Most of these are based on use of aluminium salt. In alum coagulation the sorption properties of product of hydrolysis of aluminium salts and capacity of fluoride for complex formation plays a very important role. These hydrolysis products of aluminium can be produced by passing direct current through aluminium electrode. The text presented in the paper deals with the various aspect of removal of fluoride by electrolysis using aluminium electrode from fluoride chemical based industrial wastewater.     

Room temperature fluorination of aromatic molecules with cesium fluoroxysulphate

Room -temperature fluorination of benzene with cesium fluoroxysulphate in the presence of boron trifluoride as catalyst resulted in the formation of fluorobenzene, while reaction with naphthalene gave 1-fluoro and 2-fluoronaphthalene in the ratio 5:1, the overall yield being between 38 and 42%. The fluorination of phenanthrene and pyrene should be carried out at higher dilution and needs no catalyst. Phenanthrene gave 9-fluorophenanthrene and 9, 9-difluoro-10-keto-9, 10-dihydrophenanthrene in the ratio 1:6 in a yield of about 70%, while pyrene gave 1-fluoro and 4-fluoropyrene in the ratio 7.5:1.     

Dissolution of copper oxide by the ethanolamine and ammonium fluoride in aqueous solution

Dissolution properties of copper oxide in aqueous solutions containing ethanolamine and/or ammonium fluoride have been evaluated at various pH ranges. The dissolution rate was strongly affected by the pH of the solution. The solution of ammonium fluoride showed good properties for the dissolution of copper oxide in the range of acidic conditions, whereas the solution containing ethanolamine showed a dissolution property within the basic condition. A mixture solution of ethanolamine and ammonium fluoride displayed enhanced dissolution property of copper oxide at acidic and basic conditions only. An expected synergy effect on the dissolution rate and selectivity could not be produced through a mixture of ethanolamine and ammonium fluoride in an aqueous solution.

On the nature of low-frequency vibrational modes in globular protein molecules immersed in water

Recent vibrational normal mode analysis of globular protein molecules (in vacuum) has shown that they have characteristic low-frequency (≈ 2–5 cm⁻¹) modes. It is shown that when the molecules are immerséd in water the modes are strongly red-shifted and damped. The implications of this result are briefly discussed.     

Synthesis of unsymmetric diynes by palladium and cesium fluoride catalyzed coupling of terminal bromoalkynes with alkynylstannane

The Stille reaction of unsymmetric diynes from terminal bromoalkynes with alkynylstannane in the presence of palladium catalyst and cesium fluoride was studied. The system (bromoalkyne: PhC≡CSnMe₃:Pd₂(dba)₃:PPh₃:CsF:18‐crown‐6) = (1:1:0.015:0.06:2.2:0.1) in toluene at reflux temperature was found to be the most favored. Products were obtained in 31–100% yields. Correlations between calculated electron density, dipole moments and ¹³C NMR spectral data of synthesized bromoacetylenes and diynes have been carried out.

Dissolution of a base (RbOH) by water clusters

Density functional and ab intio calculations are employed in order to understand the base dissociation of rubidium hydroxide by water molecules. The hydrated structures, stabilities, thermodynamic quantities, dissociation energies, infrared spectra, and electronic properties of RbOH(H2O)(n = 0-5) are investigated. With the successive addition of water molecules to RbOH, the Rb-OH bond lengthens significantly from 2.45 angstroms for n = 0 to 3.06 angstroms for n = 5. It is interesting to note that four water molecules are needed for the stable dissociation of RbOH (as an almost dissociate conformation) and five water molecules are needed for the complete dissociation without any Rb-OH stretch mode, in contrast to the same group base of CsOH which requires only three water molecules for an almost dissociate conformation and four water molecules for the complete dissociation.
