Validity limits of the superposition principle when applied to reactions the kinetics of which is diffusion controlled

The superposition principle which is commonly used to solve the Smoluchowsky equation can be proved to be unreliable by elementary calculations applied to a particular example. But the practical kinetic consequences are small and usually hidden whithin experimental errors.

Calorimetric study of oxygen bond strength in the surface layer of manganese dioxide

The heat of oxygen removal from the MnO₂ surface (q_s) during its reduction by carbon monoxide and the heat of reoxidation of the reduced surface by gaseous oxygen (q_s) have been determined by a calorimetric method at 100 and 200°C. At 200°C both q_s and q_s are close to the enthalpy of MnO₂ transformation to Mn₂O₃. At 100°C the reduction of MnO₂ takes place without any distinct formation of a phase of the lower oxide, however, it leads to significant changes in both the surface and the subsurface layer of the oxide.

Electrochemical Behavior of Epinephrine at a Penicillamine Self-Assembled Gold Electrode,and its Analytical Application

The fabrication and electrochemical characteristics of a penicillamine (PCA) self-assembled monolayer modified gold electrode were investigated. The self-assembled electrode shows obvious electrocatalytic activity for the oxidation of epinephrine (EP). In phosphate buffer (pH 7.73), a sensitive oxidation peak was observed at 0.190V with the PCA modified Au electrode. The peak current is proportional to the concentration of EP in the range of 2.0×10^–56.0×10^–4molL^–1 and 5.0×10^–6 2.0×10^–4molL^–1 for cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) with the detection limits of 1.8×10^–7 and 1.3×10^–7molL^–1, respectively. The possible reaction mechanism is also discussed. The PCA self-assembled monolayer modified gold electrode is highly stable and can be applied to the determination of EP in practical injection samples. Application is simple, rapid and produces accurate results.

Thermoanalytical characterization of precipitated acids obtained by alkaline permanganate degradation of the kerogen from Aleksinac (Yugoslavia) oil shale

The precipitated acids, obtained by partial stepwise oxidation of Aleksinac (Yugoslavia) shale kerogen, were studied by thermal analysis. Significant differences were observed in the weight loss and the shape of TG curves of precipitated acids from various degradation steps, indicating their structural differences and heterogeneity of the kerogen. The thermal curves of precipitated acids were found to consist of two distinct parts. From IR data it was found that the low-temperature part corresponded to thermal changes of aromatic, and the high-temperature part of aliphatic type structures. These results were in good agreement with chemical analysis (elemental analysis, atomic H/C ratio, total acidity) of the same acids.

Zusammenfassung Durch partielle schrittweise Oxydierung von Schieferkerogen (Aleksinac. Jugoslavien) erhaltene präzipitierte Säuren werden thermoanalytisch untersucht. Signifikante Unterschiede wurden im Gewichtsverlust und der TG-Kurvengestalt von nach den einzelnen Abbauschritten erhaltenen präzipitierten Säuren beobachtet, was auf deren strukturelle Verschiedenheit und auf die Heterogenität des Kerogens hinweist. Die thermische Kurven der präzipitierten Säuren weisen zwei sich unterscheidende Abschnitte auf. Aus IR-Daten ergab sich, daß im Tieftemperaturabschnitt thermische Veränderungen von aromatischen, im Hochtemperaturabschnitt dagegen von aliphatischen Strukturen verlaufen. Diese Ergebnisse stimmen mit chemischen Analysendaten (Elementaranalyse, H/C-Atomverhältnis, Gesamtsäure) gut überein.

On the interpretation of differences in mechanisms, kinetics and dynamics of oxidation reactions on metal and oxide catalysts

Langmuir-Hinshelwood type mechanisms with competitive adsorption are suggested to be more typical for metal catalysts, since, unlike on oxide systems, oxidizable substance and molecular oxygen can be adsorbed on the same (reduced) active sites. Therefore, multiple steady states and critical phenomena are more characteristic for catalysis on metals.

Effect of α-methylstyrene of the curing behaviour of vinyl ester resins

The curing behaviour of bismethacryloxy derivative of diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (vinyl ester resin) containing styrene as the reactive diluent (40% w/w) was studied using gel point determination method and DSC. Seven samples of styrene/-methylstyrene in the ratio 400, 355, 3010, 2515, 2020, 1525 and 040 were studied. Delayed curing was observed in samples containing increasing proportions of -methylstyrene. The energy of activation decreased from 869 kJ mol^–1 to 333 kJ mol^–1 as the concentration of -methylstyrene increased in the formulations. However, no difference in thermal stability was observed by replacement of styrene by -methylstyrene. It was concluded that in vinyl ester resin samples 10–15% -methylstyrene and 30-25% styrene can be used as reactive diluent.

Zersetzungsmechanismus von Mg(OH)2 und Mg(OD)2

Zusammenfassung Man untersucht, unter welchen Bedingungen das Proton einer ionischen OH^–-Gruppe die Elektronenwolke des O^2–Ions verlassen kann, um mit einer benachbarten OH^–-Gruppe ein H₂O-Molekül zu bilden. Voraussetzung zum Tunneln ist in der benachbarten OH^–-Gruppe ein freies Akzeptorniveau auf gleicher Höhe. Wenn die beiden betrachteten OH^–-Gruppen kristallographisch äquivalent sind, ist die letztgenannte Bedingung nicht erfüllt, da das Akzeptorniveau höher liegt als das Donatorniveau. Durch Koplung mit den gegenphasigen OH-Knickschwingungen wird eine Verbreiterung der Niveaus und schließlich — ab einer kritischen Amplitude — eine Überlappung herbeigeführt, die das Tunneln ermöglicht. Die Protonenumlagerung beginnt an der Oberfläche, weil an einer freien Oberfläche die Amplituden der wirksamen OH-Knickschwingungen bei gleicher Temperatur größer sind als im Innern des Kristalls.

The conditions have been studied under which the proton of an ionic OH^– group can leave the electron cloud of the O^2– ion to form a H₂O molecule with a neighbouring OH^– group. The condition of tunnelling is the presence of a free acceptor level of similar height in the neighbouring OH^– group. If the two OH^– groups are equivalent crystallographically, this condition is not fulfilled since the acceptor level lies higher than the donor level. Coupling with the opposite-phase OH bending vibrations leads to a broadening of the levels and finally to an overlap, which renders the tunnelling possible. The proton transfer starts at the surface as at any given temperature the amplitude of the effective OH bending vibrations is larger at the surface than inside the crystal.

---

Résumé On recherche les conditions dans lesquelles le proton d'un groupe ionique OH^–peut quitter le nuage électronique de l'ion O^2– pour former une molécule d'eau avec un groupe OH^– voisin. La condition de l'effet tunnel est que le groupe OH^– voisin possède un même niveau libre accepteur. Cette condition n'est pas réalisée dans le cas de deux groupes OH^–voisins cristallographiquement équivalents puisque le niveau accepteur est plus haut que le niveau donneur. Le couplage des vibrations de déformation en opposition de phase des OH provoque un élargissement des niveaux et finalement — à partir d'une amplitude critique — un recouvrement qui permet l'effet tunnel. La transposition protonique commence en surface puisque pour une surface libre les amplitudes des vibrations de déformation actives des OH sont plus grandes qu'à l'intérieur du cristal.

[Cu(-C₂H₂)₂]⁺, [Cu(-CCH₂)₂]⁺ and [Cu(-C₂H₂) (-CCH₂]⁺ complexes have been studied by the ab initio double-zeta basis set method. It has been established that all calculated compounds are stable to decomposition into two C₂H₂ molecules and Cu⁺ cation and into one C₂H₂ molecules and the respective monocomplex. Calculation results suggest the possibility of intramolecular acetylene-vinylidene rearrangement in the coordination sphere of Cu⁺.

Theory of differential thermal analysis taking into account heat exchange between the specimen and reference cells

A basic formula of differential thermal analysis is evolved for the case when the heat transfer coefficient between the specimen cell and the reference cell is not zero. The more general formula obtained differs from the classical formula by including the parameters of the reference cell and the heat transfer coefficient between the cells. It indicates that utilization of the classical formula is not correct if heat exchange occurs between the cells. To utilize the generalized formula, additional measurements of the temperature changes of the reference material are required. However, if the time constants of the two cells are identical, the formula can be changed to assume the form of the classical formula for DTA if a correction factor is introduced which takes into account the effect of heat exchange between the cells.

---

Zusammenfassung Für den Fall, dass der Übertragungskoeffizient zwischen der Proben- und der Referenzzelle nicht Zero ist, wurde eine Grundformel der Differentialthermoanalyse entwickelt. Die entstandene Formel, die vielmehr allgemein ist, weicht von der klassischen dadurch ab, dass sie auch die Parameter der Referenzzelle, und den Wärmeübertragungskoeffizient zwischen den Zellen enthält. Sie deutet darauf hin, dass die Anwendung der klassischen Formel in dem Fall nicht einwandfrei ist, wenn ein Wärmeaustausch zwischen den Zellen zustande kommt. Zur Anwendung der verallgemeinerten Formel sind weitere Messungen des Temperaturaustausches vom Referenzmaterial erforderlich. Sind aber die Zeitkonstanten der zwei Zellen identisch, kann die Formel so geändert werden, dass sie die Gestalt der klassischen DTA-Formel annimt, wenn ein, mit der Wirkung des Wärmeaustausches zwischen den Zellen rechnender Korrektionsfaktor eingeführt wird.
