Mechanism of carbon monoxide oxidation on nickel oxide and its solid solutions

On the basis of studying the isotope exchange of oxygen and the position of the Fermi level in the system MiO–Li_xNi_1–xO, an explanation is proposed for the compensation effect in the reaction of CO oxidation on nickel oxide and its solid solutions.

Gas phase thermolysis of phenylazoethane

The pyrolysis of phenylazoethane has been studied in a stirred-flow system using cyclohexene as carrier gas at sub-ambient pressures, in the temperature range of 380–416°C. The activation energy is examined in relation to the C–N bond dissociation energy and the heat of formation of the phenyldiazenyl radical.

Reactivity of radical complexes Zr(IV) (O2?) in electron transfer reactions

Rate constants of the reactions of the radical complex Zr(IV) (O ₂ ^– ) with Fe(II), Ti(III), resorcinol, guaiacol and ascorbic acid in aqueous solutions have been measured by the ESR flow method. They are similar to the values obtained for the radical complex Ti(IV) (O ₂ ^– ).

The influence of the structure and composition of complexes of the type CuA2X2 on the courses of their thermal decomposition

The influence of different degrees of distortion of the coordination polyhedra in some Cu(II) complexes on the courses of their thermal destruction was studied. It was found that differences in the thermal stability and stoichiometry of thermal decomposition may be satisfactorily explained by the different degrees of distortion of the coordination polyhedra in the Cu(II) complexes under discussion. This fact appears to be significant with respect to the chemical reactivities of these complexes, though the influence of other factors cannot be excluded.

Zusammenfassung Der Einfluß der verschiedenen Grade der Koordinations-Polyeder-Verzerrung in einigen Cu(II) Komplexen auf den Verlauf ihrer thermischen Zersetzung wurde untersucht. Es wurde festgestellt, daß Unterschiede in der thermischen Stabilität und der Stöchiometrie der thermischen Zersetzung durch die verschiedenen Verzerrungsgrade der Koordinations-Polyeder in den erörterten Cu(II) Komplexen befriedigend erklärt werden können. Diese Tatsache scheint hinsichtlich der chemischen Reaktivität dieser Komplexe von grosser Bedeutung zu sein, obwohl der Einfluß anderer Faktoren nicht ausgeschlossen werden kann.

Résumé On a étudié l'influence des différents degrés de distortion des polyhèdres de coordination sur l'allure de leur décomposition thermique, dans le cas de quelques complexes du Cu(II). On a trouvé que les différences de stabilité thermique et de stoechiométrie pouvaient expliquer de manière satisfaisante les différents degrés de distortion des polyhèdres de coordination dans les complexes du Cu(II) étudiés. Ce fait semble être plutôt significatif de la réactivité chimique de ces complexes, bien que l'influence d'autres facteurs ne doive pas être exclue.

Photolysis of alkylperoxy radicals frozen out from the gas phase

Photolysis of alkylperoxy radicals with 250 nm light has been studied and proposed for investigation of heterogeneous-homogeneous reactions by freezing out radicals from the gas phase and their ESR identification. Using amine decomposition reaction in the presence of O₂ as an example, we have shown that photodissociation of frozen peroxy radicals can be used to reduce the structure of initial alkyl radicals.

Electrochemical Determination of Cinnamtannin B1 with a Pyrolytic Graphite Electrode

Cinnamtannin B1 (trimeric proanthocyanidin), which is identified and isolated from the effective fraction of the root of Lindera aggregata (Sims) Kosterm, is one kind of condensed tannin used as an effective antipyrotic and antitumor agent. Its electrochemical response can be obtained at a pyrolytic graphite electrode. Consequently, an easily performed and sensitive method for the determination of cinnamtannin B1 is developed. The detection limit is estimated to be 1.0×10^–7M with the linear determination range of 2.0×10^–7M to 1.8×10^–6M. Five replicate analyses of 1.0×10^–6M cinnamtannin B1 yields an RSD value of 2.1%. Since the working electrode does not need to be modified with any other species, it is very stable, repeatable and easily treated, and this method therefore potentially useful in real sample analysis.     

Structure of amorphous Fe(III) hydroxides and their ageing products

X-ray analysis has revealed that at pH=7.5–12.0 similar amorphous Fe(III) hydroxides are formed. Their structural peruliarity is the presence of local regions with ordered arrangement of atoms typical for -FeOOH in the volume of primary particles. Ageing at pH=7.5 and 353 K leads to structure rearrangement to -Fe₂O₃.

Study of selective dissociation in C6F5H?C6F5D mixtures induced by intense CO2 laser pulses

Irradiation of a C₆F₅H–C₆F₅D mixture at 1 Torr by a tunable CO₂ pulse laser brings about chiefly dissociation of one component depending on the frequency of emission absorbed by the proper molecules. The addition of radical acceptors increases the selectivity by suppressing secondary reactions.

Conversion of dehydrolinalyl acetate in catalytic hydrogenation on metals

Low selectivity of dehydrolinalyl acetate (DeHLA) hydrogenation into linalyl acetate and ester group detachment are predicted in accordance with quantum-chemical data obtained for its homologue dimethyl ethynyl carbinol acetate. Experimental data are confirmed by theoretical calculations. DeHLA hydrogenation produces a variety of products.

Thermal decomposition of some homobinuclear dihalide-bridged iron(III) complexes

Thermal studies by TG and DTG on some homobinuclear dihalide-bridged iron(III) complexes of the general type [Fe(S₂CNR₂)₂X]₂(}-X ₂) were carried out in air and nitrogen atmospheres. The apparent activation energies were determined by graphical methods and the TIN temperatures were calculated from the TG profiles. Finally, a possible mechanism of the decomposition is suggested on the basis of the pyrolysis and mass spectral data.
