Etude calorimetrique et analytique de l'adsorption du cyanogene sur la silice

The adsoprtion of C₂N₂ on well outgassed specimens of SiO₂ at temperatures from 35 to 913°C has been studied by heat flow calorimetry, volumetry, and mass spectrometry.Small amounts of cyanogen are adsorbed at low temperature: reversibly by hydrogen bonding with the silanol groups, and irreversibly on strained siloxane bridges or Lewis acid sites. Above 200°C cyanogen reacts, with silanol groups, leading to the formation of HCN (partly reversibly adsorbed on non-reacted silanol groups) and silyl isocyanate:

. The process is complete at 418°C and the measured enthalpy for the reaction

is ΔH = ?12.2 ± 0.3 kcal mole^?.Above 500°C, HCN and C₂N₂ react with ordinary siloxane bridges. At higher temperature, the pyrolysis of

produces CO₂ with CO and N₂ (in smaller quantities), showing that a large proportion of N-atoms are bonded on the surface.     

Etude de l'hydrogenation de l'α-terpinene et du dihyro-2,3 anisole catalysee par le phenanthrene chrome tricarbonyle

The hydrogenation of α-terpinene and 2,3-dihydroanisole catalysed by phenanthrenechromium tricarbonyl in cyclohexane is described. The catalytic reaction is accelerated when small amounts of ketone are added to the solution. Attempts to induce asymmetric synthesis by adding (+)-3-menthylcyclohexanone or l-carvone to the reaction mixture are discussed. Isomerization of cis-Δ²-methene and α-phellandrene is also presented.     

Etude comparative de la viscosite intrinseque des copolymeres bi et trisequences du styrene et de l'isoprene

The intrinsic viscosities of styrene-isoprene two- and three-block copolymers have been studied in a number of solvents as a function of molecular weight, composition and temperature. The behaviour of the three-block copolymers is similar in all points to that of the two-block. No conformational transition was observed between 10 and 60°. The intrinsic viscosities measured at 35° are close to the weighted average of the corresponding homopolymers of equal molecular weight. The Stockmayer-Fixman interaction parameters B are also close to the weighted average of the corresponding homopolymers. These results seem to indicate a structure with a limited number of heterocontacts.     

Etude cinetique de l'hydrolyse du paranitrophenylphosphate dans l'acetonitrile faiblement aqueux. Processus dissociatif.

Basic hydrolysis of paranitrophenylphosphate in acetonitrile of low water content (0.02 to 0.5 M) is an unimolecular process, with likely a phosphenium cation as intermediate. Comparison with reaction in water - also occuring through an unimolecular process - indicates that the large rate enhancement in CH₃ CN (3.10⁶ for [H₂O] 0.02 M) is entropy controlled.     

Etude cinetique de la copolymerisation alternee de l'indene et du methacrylate de methyle en presence de sesquichlorure d'ethylaluminium

The copolymerization of indene with methyl methacrylate (MAM) initiated by u.v. irradiation, in the presence of ethylaluminium sesquichloride (SCEA) as a complexing agent, yields alternating copolymers when [Indene] ≥ [MAM] ≥ [SCEA]. Values of $\text{M}$_n of the copolymers range from 32,000 to 900,000, depending on the concentrations of the reagents, reaction temperature and intensity of u.v. light. The kinetics can be explained simply by assuming a statistical copolymerization of indene with a MAM-SCEA binary complex, but intervention of a ternary complex SCEA-MAM-indene cannot be discarded. At high MAM concentrations, the free MAM becomes involved in the copolymerization.     

Etude du mecanisme de la cyclotrimerisation catalytique de l'hexyne-3 par l'intermediaire d'un complexe cyclobutadienique du nickel

The reduction of nickel halide by metals in low oxidation states, in a boiling solution of 3-hexyne in tetrahydrofuran leads to catalytic and quantitative cyclotrimerisation of the unsaturated compound. During the reaction, tetraethylcyclobutadienenickel(II) dibromide can be isolated in appreciable yield. A mechanism is proposed for the cyclotrimerisation.     

Dosage de l'oxygene dans l'uranium et ses composes par la methode au monochlorure de soufre

A sulfur monochloride method is proposed for the determination of oxygen in uranium compounds. Sulfur monochloride reacts with oxygenated compounds at temperatures depending upon their nature; the sulfur dioxide produced is titrated by iodometry, after the excess reagent has been eliminated by a selective adsorption-desorption process using activated charcoal. This method has been successfully applied to uranium oxides (UO₂, U₃O₈), to mixtures of uranium dioxide with uranium, uranium nitride, and uranium carbide, and to substituted carbides (UC_1-xO_x). The results are generally satisfactory for oxygen contents higher than 500 p.p.m. However, in the presence of free or combined carbon, this limit is considerably higher. A loss of oxygen as carbon monoxide is also possible, and a simultaneous determination of carbon monoxide must be carried out. The relative error is of the order of a few per cent.     

Etude de l'application de l'isonitrosomalonylguanidine au dosage du fer dans les alliages d'aluminium et dans les zincs et au dosage du cobalt dans les aciers

Isonitrosomalonylguanidine reacts with iron salts in acid medium (pH ca. 6) ; or in basic medium (pH ca. 9), giving a blue color. This reaction is the basis of a new method for the determination of iron. in aluminium alloys (in acid medium) or in zincs (in acid medium or in basic medium) for the weakest contents. Concerning the determination of cobalt in steels, bromine can be used instead of nitric acid, in order to remove the excess of reagent.     

Copolymeres du chlorure de vinyle et de l'acrylate de glycidyle

A study of the radical copolymerization of vinyl chloride (C) and glycidyl acrylate (A) at 60° in dichloroethane solution leads to the following reactivity ratios r_c = 0·14 ± 0·02 and r_A = 7·4 ± 0·3According to the nature of the solvent, the reaction of protonic acids may cause either cationic polymerization of epoxy groups or addition of HCl or water onto the same groups. The HCl addition is observed during the thermal degradation of the copolymers so that HCl evolution is greatly delayed.     

Etude theorique de la cycloaddition de l'ozone sur l'ethylene

A theoretical study of the cycloaddition of ozone on ethylene has been carried out by the LCAO-SCF-MO method. The potential energy hypersurface for the reaction has been investigated and the electronic and energetic properties of the transition state have been determined.     

Thermodynamique de substances azotees. IX. Etude thermochimique de la benzamide. Comparaison des grandeurs energetiques liees a la structure de quelques amides et thioamides

The enthalpy of sublimation of benzamide was obtained by calorimetry in the range 323<T (K)<350. From values of ΔH_sub(T)=f(T), it was possible to determine ΔH⁰_sub (298.15 K)=101.7±1.0 kJ mole^?1. Using previous data on ΔH⁰_f (c, 298.15 K) obtained by combustion calorimetry, the value of ΔH⁰_f (g, 298.15 K)=?100.9±1.2 kJ mole^?1 was calculated. With the use of energetical values concerning thioacetamide, thiobenzamide and thiourea, on the one hand, and acetamide, benzamide and urea, on the other, a comparative study was made.     

Etude comparative de l'alkylation des tetraphenylporphyrines de l'etain et de leurs formes reduites par les reactifs de grignard

A comparative study of alkylation by Grignard reagents of PSn(OH)₂ (P = tetraphenylporphyrin (TPP), tetraphenylchlorine (TPC), tetraphenylisobacteriochlorine (TPiBC)) shows that dialkylstannylisobacteriochlorines are the most easily obtained. The presence of transition metals in the magnesium crystals directs the reaction towards reduction of the macrocycle instead of alkylation on tin. This is supplementary proof for the intervention of a single electron transfer mechanism (SET) in alkylation of a macrocycle by Grignard reagents.These results fit very well with earlier electrochemical experiments and the measurements of the reduction potentials of the Group IVB metalloporphyrins and their reduced forms.     

Etude de l'equilibre entre l'oxyde de nickel et l'oxygene. Essai d'interpretation des lois de variation de la conductivite electrique en fonction de la temperature

In a previous paper we have shown that at 740°C and under an oxygen pressure less than 1,3 torr the electrical conductance G of a NiO powder reaches rapidly an apparently stabilized signal G_i which sharply decreases after a sufficiently long time to a G₀ value independent of P_O2.From this observation we have studied the influence of the temperature successively on the electrical conductance G_i and G₀. The Arrhenius law is only verified for the G₀ = f(T) curve. G₀ appears as the representative value of the gas-solid equilibrium.     

Etude de l'action de l'ion fluor sur la laquethorium-spadns

The reaction of fluoride with thorium—SPADNS lake was studied in detail with particular reference to the effects of pH and media. Two methods for the determination of microgram amounts of fluoride based on the reaction are described. The spectrophotometric method developed is more suitable for routine use, but the colorimetric titration method is less sensitive to the effect of large amounts of electrolyte.     

Halogenures de zinc,cadmium et mercure (II) solvates par des amines aliphatiques. Conclusions sur la stabilite thermique et l'etude thermochimique des ces composes

The addition compounds of anhydrous zinc, cadmium and mercury (II) halides with propylamine, isopropylamine, butylamine and isobutylamine have been studied.The enthalpy variation based on the evolution of the amine molecules and the standard enthalpies of formation have been determined. An estimation method is proposed for the latter.     

Sur la reaction de reformatsky. Preparation et reactivite de l'organozincique issu du sel bromozincique de l'acide γ-bromocrotonique

The condensation of aldehydes and ketones with the bronozinc salt derived from γ-bromocrotonic acid, in the presence of zinc, yield to the “linear” and “branched” unsaturated hydroxyacids. These latters, which represent the cinetic products of the reaction, equilibrate at the alcoolate state to give, after hydrolysis, the “linear” compounds.
