Phase equilibria in the Ag2Te-ZnTe and Ag2Te-Zn systems

The state diagrams (T-x) of the systems Ag₂Te-ZnTe(I) and Ag₂Te-Zn(II) are offered on the ground of data obtained by differential thermal analysis, X-ray phase analysis, microstructural analysis and measurements of the density and the microhardness of samples synthesized. The systems studied are quasibinary sections of the ternary system Ag-Zn-Te. System I is characterized by two eutectic and three eutectoidal non-variant equilibria as well as by an intermediate compound Ag₂ZnTe₂, which melts congruently at 880°C. The latter exists in the range from 120 to 880°C in two polymorphic modifications (T_ʅ→β=515°C). System II is characterized by one eutectic, two eutectoidal and one peritectic nonvariant equilibria, boundary solid solutions on the ground of Ag₂Te and Zn and one intermediate phase of the composition Ag₄Zn₃Te₂, which melts congruently at 880°C.

Molecular thermodynamic model for equilibria in solution IV. Macroscopic partition functions

The molecular ensembles statistically distributed according to internal specific characteristics and distinguished for the different exchanges with the surroundings are represented on the macroscopic scale by appropriate partition functions. The partition function for osmotic non-reacting ensemble is a function of concentration or activity of the ligand and is suited to the definition of thermodynamic potential μ. The partition function for thermal non-reacting ensemble shows the dependence upon the temperature and that for thermo-osmotic non-reacting ensemble shows the dependence upon both concentration and temperature.

The reaction partition function is suited to show the distribution of the different species over the different enthalpy levels of the reacting ensemble. The dispersion of the distributions are represented by second derivatives of the partition function.

The information contained in the entropy axis of the thermodynamic space for reacting ensembles concerning the induced dilution of the bound ligand and final dilution of the free ligand can be spanned to a formation function diagram where free energy of reaction can be graphically represented.     

Molecular thermodynamic model for equilibria in solution: I. Reacting and non-reacting ensembles

The partition functions of solution thermodynamics are mathematical representations of the properties of molecular ensembles statistically distributed according to specific characteristics. The ensembles are classified as non-reacting or reacting. The non-reacting ensembles are characterized by one mean enthalpy level with dispersion around the mean. The reacting ensembles are characterized by two or more distinctly separated enthalpy levels over which the different species are variably distributed, depending on concentration and/or temperature.

The non-reacting ensembles can be distinguished into microcanonical, thermal, osmotic, thermo-osmotic ensembles, depending on the type of exchange with the surroundings which is connected to the fluctuations of the ensemble variables. The reacting ensembles can be distinguished into thermal, osmotic, thermo-osmotic, electrochemical, electro-osmotic, electro-thermal, electro-thermo-osmotic ensembles, depending on the type of reaction and of exchange with the surroundings.     

Beiträge zur Chemie der Pyrrolpigmente, 50. Mitt.

Using fixed tautomeric structures of 3,4-dihydropyrromethenones and 2,3-dihydrobilatrienes-abc (N- and O-alkylation) a prevalence of the lactam and bis-lactam form over lactimes by several orders of magnitude could be deduced. Although there are complications arising from side reactions of the pyrrolidinone fragment, protonation equilibria provided valuable clues for this result which is nicely complemented by NMR-, IR and UV-VIS data.

Phase equilibria in the GeSe2–SnSe system

The phase diagram of the system GeSe₂–SnSe is studied by means of X-ray diffraction, differential thermal analysis and measurements of the density and the microhardness of the material. There are no intermediate compounds in it, as well as regions of range of solid solutions at room temperature on the base of GeSe₂ and SnSe. There are two non-variant equilibria in the system: eutectic (where T _e=530±5°C and x _e= 40 mol% SnSe) and metaeutectic (where T _m=550±5°C and x _m=98 mol% SnSe).     

The influence of temperature on the liquid-liquid-solid equilibrium of the ternary system water-potassium chloride-2-propanol

The lowest temperature at which water---KCl---2-propanol mixtures cannot be split has been determined as 25.3°C. Seven diagrams of liquid-liquid-solid equilibria for the ternary system water---potassium chloride-2-propanol around this temperature have been measured and the transition between their two different shapes has been studied.     

Thermophysical properties and thermodynamic phase behavior of ionic liquids

The thermal stability of many tested ionic liquids (ILs) was investigated by the TGA and DTA curves over the wide temperature range from 200 to 780 K. The TGA curves have mainly a sigmoid shape, which can be split into three segments. The thermal decomposition of the samples was higher than 500 K. For the ammonium salts, C₂BF₄, or C₂PF₆, or C₂N(CN)₂, or C₄Br, the temperatures of the decompositions were 583.5, 556.1, 545.1 and 525.3 K, respectively. Generally, it was found that the temperature of decomposition of investigated ionic liquid is strongly depended on the type of cation and the anion. Phase equilibria and thermophysical constants were measured also for the dialkoxy-imidazolium ILs, [(C₄H₉OCH₂)₂IM][BF₄], [(C₈H₁₇OCH₂)₂IM][Tf₂N], [(C₁₀H₂₁OCH₂)₂IM][Tf₂N] and for pyridinium IL, [Pyr][BF₄].The characterization and purity of the compounds were obtained by the elemental analysis, water content (Fisher method) and differential scanning microcalorimetry (DSC) analysis. From (DSC) method, the melting points, the enthalpies of fusion, the temperatures and enthalpies of solid-solid phase transitions and the half C_p temperatures of glass transition of all investigated ionic liquids were measured.The phase equilibria of these salts with common popular solvents: water, or alcohols or n-alkanes, or aromatic hydrocarbons have been measured by a dynamic method from 290 K to the melting point of IL, or to the boiling point of the solvent in the whole mole fraction range, x from 0 to 1.These salts mainly exhibit simple eutectic systems with immiscibility in the liquid phase with upper critical solution temperatures (UCST), not only with aromatic hydrocarbons, cycloalkanes and n-alkanes but also with longer chain alcohols. For example the C₂BF₄ salt show simple eutectic system with water and simple eutectic systems with immiscibility in the liquid phase with upper critical solution temperature with alcohols.The solid-liquid phase equilibria, SLE curves were correlated by means of the different G^Ex models utilizing parameters derived from the SLE. The root-mean-square deviations of the solubility temperatures for all calculated data depend on the particular system and the equation used.
