Transfer Reactions of Rydberg (Quasi-Rydberg Molecular) Electrons in Condensed Media: V. Large Proton Displacement in the N–H Bond upon Photoionization of Diphenylamine via Highly Excited Triplet State T* in Methanol at 77 K

The mechanism of large proton displacements in polarized R–H⁺ bonds, which involves the formation of a triplet complex R···H* (H* is the excited hydrogen atom) in the T* state upon the capture of an excited * electron onto the p, d, and f quasi-Rydberg proton orbitals in H⁺ (part IV) is further substantiated. It is assumed that the proton displaced upon photoionization of added diphenylamine molecules (Ph₂NH) via the complex Ph₂N···H* in methanol at 77 K can be fixed by the polarization of the medium in the vicinity of the diphenylaminyl radical (Ph₂N···H⁺ _sol) formed. When the solution is thawed up to 106 K, the protons returns to Ph₂N to afford the radical cation Ph₂NH⁺.     

Cobalt(III) α-Dimethylglyoximates [Co(DH)2(Py)2]2SiF6 · 10H2O and [Co(DH)2(Thio)2]2SiF6 · 2H2O · C2H5OH: Synthesis and Structure

[Co(DH)₂(Py)₂]₂SiF₆ · 10H₂O and [Co(DH)₂(Thio)₂]₂SiF₆ · 2H₂O · C₂H₅OH complexes are synthesized and characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis. Two radicals of -glyoxime linked by hydrogen O–H···O bonds lie in the equatorial plane of the octahedral Co(III) complexes. Intramolecular (– and N–H···O) and intermolecular (O–H···F, O–H···O, N–H···F, N–H···O, N–H···S) interactions are discovered in the crystal. The influence of nonvalence interactions on the structures is discussed.     

Complexation,solubilities and thermodynamic functions for cerium(III) fluoride-water system

The solubility, solubility product and the thermodynamic functions for the CeF₃–H₂O system have been measured using the radiometric, conductometric and potentiometric techniques. The radiometric values for the solubility and solubility product, the lowest and more acceptable for reasons cited in previous papers, are 3.14·10^–5 M and 2.17·10^–17 respectively. The enthalpy change measured by the conductometric method is almost twice as that obtained by potentiometric method due to abnormal conductances registered at higher temperatures. The average values for H^o and G^o and S^o at 298 K are 53.0±17.4, 91.7±4.0 and –129.7±58.2 KJ·mol^–1 respectively. The positive values for H^o and G^o and the negative value for S^o are indicative of the low solubility of this salt in water. The stability constants for the mono- and difluoride complexes of Ce(III) have been determined potentiometrically using unsaturated solution mixtures of Ce(III) and F^–. These values for CeF⁺ and CeF ₂ ⁺ are 997±98 and (1.03±0.44)·10⁵, respectively. Studies on pH dependence of the solubility shows that the solubility reaches a minimum value at a pH of about 3.2.     

Kinetics and mechanism of distribution of Am(III) and Eu(III) between thenoyltrifluoroacetone-triphenylarsine oxide mixture in chloroform and aqueous nitrate medium

The kinetics of distribution of Am(III) and Eu(III) between thenoyltrifluoroacetone (HTTA) and triphenylarsine oxide (Ph₃AsO) mixture in chloroform and aqueous nitrate medium has been investigated using a stirred Lewis cell at ionic strength of 0.1M. The effect of the concentration of HTTA, Ph₃AsO, H⁺ and NO ₃ ^– on the rate of distribution of Am(III) and Eu(III) was studied. The results were interpreted by reaction mechanisms where the rate-determining steps are the parallel reactions of Am(OH)²⁺ or Eu(OH)²⁺ with one HTTA molecule and one Ph₃AsO molecule in the aqueous medium. The values at 25 °C of the rate constantk _HLL (HL=HTTA andL=Ph₃AsO) are 1.6±0.3·10⁶M^–2·s^–1 and 2.3±±0.3·10⁸M^–2·s^–1 for Am(III) and Eu(III), respectively.     

The Influence of 4f Orbital Excitation in Eu(Fod)3 on Complexation with Sulfones in Benzene Solutions

Complexation of sulfones (S) with the -diketonate Eu(Fod)₃ (Fod–heptafluorodimethyloctanedione) in the ground and excited electronic states in benzene solutions was studied. The stability constants and thermodynamic parameters for the formation of complexes Eu(Fod)₃ · S in the ground state (K, H ₀, S ₀) and Eu(Fod)₃ ^* · S in the excited state (K*, H ₀ ^*, S ₀ ^*) were determined. The excitation of f–f transitions of Eu(III) was found to enhance the stability of Eu(Fod)₃ · S complexes, apparently due to an increase in the acceptor ability of the Eu(III) chelate. This fact confirms the involvement of the 4f orbital in the chemical bond formation. The compensation effect was observed for the thermodynamic parameters: S ₀ = (2.9 ± 0.3) × 10^–3H ₀ + (35.0 ± 4.0) in the ground and S ₀ ^* = (3.3 ± 0.3) × 10^–3H ₀ ^* + (49.0 ± 5.0) in the excited states of Eu(Fod)₃. It was shown that electronic excitation of the 4f orbital of Eu(Fod)₃ influences isotopic effects in complexation with sulfolanes.

RhCl3·3H2O catalyzed tritiation of acid amides with HTO

It was established by chemical degradation that RhCl₃·3H₂O catalyzed tritiation with HTO occurred with virtually 100% regioselectivity at the ortho-positions of benzamide as well as various anilides and benzoic acid. While tritiation has not been found in the alkyl C–H bond in anilide molecules, in the present experiments tritium was incorporated into the active methylene group of -phenylacetamide. This finding suggests that the present tritiation occurs more readily at polar C^-–H⁺ bonds than at nonpolar ones in accordance with previous results.     

Kinetics and mechanism of the oxidation of [N-(2-hydroxy-ethyl)ethylenediamine-N,N′,N′-triacetatocobalt(II)] by vanadate ion

The kinetics of oxidation of Co^IIHEDTA {HEDTA = N-(2-hydroxyethyl)ethylenediamine-N,N,N-triacetic acid} by vanadate ion have been studied in aqueous acid in the pH range 0.75–5.4 at 43–57 °C. The reaction exhibits second-order kinetics; first-order in each of the reactants. The reaction rate is a maximum at pH = 2.1. A mechanism is proposed in which the species [Co^IIHEDTA(H₂O)]^– and VO₂ ⁺ react to form an intermediate which decompose slowly to give pentadentate Co^IIIHEDTA(H₂O) and V^IV as final products. The rate law was derived and the activation parameters calculated: H* = 26.96 kJ mol^–1 and S* = –311.08 JK^–1 mol^–1.     

Pressure effects on aminonaphthalene dye fluorescence in H2O and D2O

The pressure dependence of excited-state proton transfer equilibria has been examined for aqueous solutions of several substituted napthalene dyes, in particular 1-dimethylaminonaphthalene-5-sulfonic acid (DANS). The pressure-induced shift in equilibrium is characterized by volume changes spanning the range V ^*=–18 cm³ mole^–1 to V ^*=+4 cm³-mole^–1. A deuterium oxide solvent isotope effect is evident in the pressure response of DANS, leading to a 35% smaller V_* in D₂O relative to H₂O.     

Solvation of ions. Part XXIX. Ionic conductances in acetonitrile-water and pyridine-water mixtures

The limiting conductance of various salts of Na⁺, Ag⁺, Cu⁺, Cu²⁺ and Ph₄As⁺ in acetonitrile-water (AN-H₂O) and pyridine-water (Py–H₂O) mixtures are reported. Single ion values are calculated for AN-H₂O mixtures using the TATB assumption [_o(Ph ₄ As ⁺) = _o(Ph ₄ B ^–)]. The trends observed for the limiting Walden products (_o) of the electrolytes and individual ions are discussed in terms of specific ion-solvent interactions and the structural effects of the solvent mixtures.Deceased, August 30, 1982.     

Copper(I) π-Complexes with Alkyne Ligands: Synthesis and Crystal Structure of M[CuCl2(HOCH2C≡CCH2OH)] (M = K+, NH+ 4)

Crystals of anionic complexes of the composition M[CuCl₂(HOCH₂CCCH₂OH)], where M = NH₄ ⁺ (I), K⁺ (II), were isolated from concentrated aqueous solutions of CuCl and MCl (M = NH₄ ⁺, K⁺) in the presence of 2-butyne-1,4-diol. Their structures were studied by X-ray diffraction analysis. Isostructural crystals I and II are orthorhombic; Z = 8, space group Ibam; a = 6.735(1) and 6.666(2) Å, b = 17.206(3) and 16.874(6) Å, c = 15.172(3) and 15.032(4) Å, V = 1758(1) and 1691(1) ų, respectively. The compounds are built of individual [CuCl₂(HOCH₂CCCH₂OH)] anions; the NH₄ ⁺ (I) or K⁺ (II) cations are arranged in the voids between the anions. The -coordinated Cu(I) atoms have trigonal-planar environment of two chlorine atoms and CC bond of the 2-butyne-1,4-diol molecule. The Cu–(CC) distances in the -core are 1.892(4) and 1.887(6) Å, CC are 1.233(5) and 1.228(5) Å in I and II, respectively. In complex I, additional hydrogen bonds Cl···H–NH₃ (Cl···H 2.43(4) Å) and O···H–NH₃ (O···H 1.97(3) Å) stabilize the structure.     

Kinetics of Intramolecular Hydrogen Atom Transfer in the Radicals >Si(O·)(R) (R = H,D, CH3, CD3, and C2H5)

Methods are developed for obtaining oxy radicals by the photodecomposition and thermal decomposition of precursors (Si–O)₂Si(N=N–O^·)(R) and (Si–O)₂Si(O–C^·=O)(R). The mechanism of these processes is established. Kinetic data are obtained for the reaction of hydrogen atom transfer in oxy radicals (Si–O)₂Si(O^·)(R) (R = H, D, CH₃, CD₃, and C₂H₅). The activation energies of hydrogen atom transfer are found for three-, four-, and five-membered transition states: 13.5 ± 1, 18 ± 1, and <10 kcal/mol, respectively. For the reaction of H(D) atom transfer in the (Si–O)₂Si(O^·)(H(D)) radical, the kinetic isotope effect is found. Quantum-chemical calculations were used to determine the structures of transition states in the studied processes. Experimental studies were carried out using ESR spectroscopy.     

Multinuclear macromolecule metal complexes 2. Preparation and characterization of Prussian blue and its analogs bonded to pofy(vinylamine hydrochloride)

Prussian blue and its analogs bonded to poly(vinylamine hydrochloride) (PVAm · HCl) containing Fe^II or Fe^III and M²⁺ (M=Fe, Co, Cu) in a 11 molar ratio were obtained by the reaction of [Fe(CN)₆] ^n– (n=3,4) with M²⁺ ion-PVAm · HCl mixture in aqueous solution. Under a limited polymer concentration (T_VAm/T_Fe over 10), these polymer complexes thus obtained were stable and soluble in water. By casting these solutions, colored films can be produced. The formation of Prussian blue and its analogs bonded to PVAm · HCl was also investigated by the Benesi-Hildebrand method. The molar extinction coefficients of intervalence charge transfer (Fe^IIFe^III, Co^IIFe^III, Fe^IICu^II) band for MFe(CN)₆]^(n–2)– bound to PVAm · HCl (M=Fe, Co, Cu) were found to be 10,100–9601 · mol^–1 · cm^–1 at 25 C. The formation constants were found to be in the range of 10⁷ to 10¹⁰ M^–1. The changes of enthalpy (H) and entropy (S) were found to be in the range of –10.4 to –22.5 kJ · mol^–1 and 5.7 to 52.9 J · K^–1 mol^–1 respectively, at 25C.     

Kinetic exchange studies of metal ion substitution in EDTA chelates Fe(III)- UO2 EDTA exchange

A kinetic study of the exchange reaction between UO₂EDTA complex and Fe(III), at a constant ionic strength of 0.1, over the concentration range of 5×10^–3–1×10^–2 M of each reactant and pH 4.5–5.5 has been carried out radiometrically. The rate of the exchange process can be expressed by the equation: R=k₁[UO₂EDTA][Fe]+k₂[EDTA][H⁺]^–1. The activation parameters calculated were H^*=25.95 kJ mol^–1 and S^*=0.67 kJ mol^–1 K^–1.     

The kinetics of the oxidation-reduction reaction between uranium(VI) and titanium(III) in HCl solution

The oxidation-reduction reaction between U(VI) and Ti(III) in HCl solution was studied spectrophotometrically. The reaction is second-order at all concentrations of reactants, HCl, ferrous chloride and mannitol used in this work. In 5M HCl the rate constantk increases with increasing Ti(III) concentration, whereas it decreases with increasing U(VI) concentration, with increasing HCl concentration from 1.00M to 7.17M and increases thereafter from 7.17M to 11.79M. The addition of mannitol causes a consistent decrease in the rate of reaction, whereas ferrous chloride has no effect. The activation energy for this oxidation-reduction reaction was 47.90±0.11 kJ·mol^–1. The values of H , G and S were 45.40±0.11 kJ·mol^–1, 72.50±0.17 kJ·mol^–1 and –91.10±0.22J·k^–1·mol^–1, respectively. The mode of reaction is discussed in the light of kinetic results.     

Thermal decomposition and kinetic data of Cd(BF4)2·6H2O

The thermal dehydration and decomposition of Cd(BF₄)₂·6H₂O were studied by means of DTA, TG, DSC and X-ray diffraction methods and the end products of the thermal decomposition were identified. The results of thermal analysis show that the compound is fused first, then it is dehydrated until Cd(BF₄)₂·3H₂O is obtained, which has not been described in the literature so far. The enthalpy of phase transition is H _ph.tr.=115.6 kJ mol^–1 Separation of the compound is difficult since it is highly hygroscopic. Then, dehydration and decomposition take place simultaneously until CdF₂ is obtained which is proved by X-ray diffraction. On further increasing the temperature, CdF₂ is oxidized to CdO and the characteristic curve assumes a linear character.Based on TG data, kinetic analyses were carried out separately for both parts of the curve: first until formation of the trihydrate and then — until formation of CdF₂. The formal kinetic parameters are as follows:for the first phase:E ^*=45.3 kJ mol^–1; rate equationF=^2/3; correlation coefficient 0.9858 for the second phase:E ^*=230.1 kJ mol^–1; rate equationF=(1–)^2/3[1-(1–)^1/3]^–1; correlation coefficient 0.9982.

Crystal I consists of disordered 2.2.2-cryptand dications, chloride anions, and tetrahedral [LiCl(H₂O)₃] complexes. All of them lie on threefold axes. There are tridentate ⁺N–H (···O)₃ hydrogen bonds in the [H₂(Crypt-222)]²⁺ dication. The crystal structure of adduct I contains a complex interionic hydrogen bonding system.

Crystal data, MoK radiation: 1, space group P2₁2₁2₁, Z = 4, a = 8.544(3), b = 14.588(4), c = 24.448(4) Å, and R1 = 0.062 for 1536 observed data; 2, space group Pbcn, Z = 4, a = 24.938(3), b = 8.911(1), c = 23.733(9) Å, and R1 = 0.055 for 2132 observed data; 3, space group P2₁2₁2₁, Z = 4, a = 9.996(2), b = 10.122(4), c = 18.350(2) Å, and R1 = 0.049 for 1180 observed data. In the crystal structure of 1, the (n-C₃H₇)₄N⁺ cations are stacked in a single column and accommodated within each channel built up by wide thiourea ribbons and benzoate ions via N—H···O hydrogen bonds. In the crystal structure of 2, the tetrabutylammonium cations are arranged in a zigzag column within each channel built of parallel corrugated thiourea layers that are inter-linked by dimeric [(C₆H₅CO₂)₂H]^– groups through N—H·O hydrogen bonds. In compound 3 the (C₂H₅)₄N⁺ cations are accommodated in pseudo-channels generated from infinitely extended thiourea-benzoate composite ribbons.     

Enthalpy of formation of triphenylphosphine sulfide

The first measurements of the enthalpies of combustion, sublimation, and fusion of an organo-phosphorus sulfide, triphenylphosphine sulfide, are reported: _c H _m ^o (C₁₈H₁₅PS, cr)=–(10752.58 ±2.90), _sub H _m ^o (C₁₈H₁₅PS, 403 K)=(136.80±6.09), and _fus H _m ^o (C₁₈H₁₅PS, T_m=435.92 K) =(30.53±0.21) kJ·mol^–1. Correction of the phase change enthalpies toT=298.15K and p^o =0.1 MPa results in the standard phase change enthalpy values of _sub H _m ^o (298.15 K)=(142.8 ±6.8) and _fus H _m ^o (298.15 K)=(19.28±0.21) kj·mol^–1. Accordingly, the enthalpies of formation of solid, liquid, and gaseous triphenylphosphine sulfide are derived: _f H _m ^o (C₁₈H₁₅PS, cr) =(63.20±2.56), _fH _m ^o (C₁₈H₁₅PS, l)=(82.48±2.57), and _fH _m ^o (C₁₈H₁₅PS, g)=(206.0±7.3) kJ·mol^–1. From these ancillary data, the P=S double-bond enthalpy is 394 kJ-mol^–1 and in good agreement with earlier reaction calorimetry results. These phosphorus sulfide values are compared with those for the arsenic sulfides. Plausibility arguments are given for our results.     

Thermodynamic Study of the Aqueous Rubidium and Manganese Bromide System

Crystallization of 2RbBr · MnBr₂ · 2H₂O, the only double salt obtained under standard conditions from saturated aqueous rubidium–manganese bromide solutions, was theoretically predicted using the hard and soft Lewis acids and bases concept and Pauling's rules. The RbBr—MnBr₂—H₂O system was thermodynamically simulated by the Pitzer model assuming a solubility diagram of three branches only: RbBr, 2RbBr · MnBr₂ · 2H₂O and MnBr₂ · 4H₂O. The theoretical result was experimentally proved at 25°C by the physicochemical analysis method and formation of the new double salt 2RbBr · MnBr₂ · 2H₂O was established. It was found to crystallize in a triclinic crystal system, space group –P1, a = 5.890(1) Å, b = 6.885(1) Å, c = 7.367(2) Å, = 66.01(1)°, = 87.78(2)°, = 84.93(2)°, V = 271.8(1) ų, Z = 1, D _x = 3.552 g-cm^–3. The binary and ternary ion interaction parameters were calculated and the solubility isotherm was plotted. The standard molar Gibbs energy of the synthesis reaction, _rG _m ^o , of the double salt 2RbBr · MnBr₂ · 2H₂O from the corresponding simple salts RbBr and MnBr₂ · 4H₂O, as well as the standard molar Gibbs energy of formation, _fG _m ^o , and standard molar enthalpy of formation _fH _m ^o of the simple and double salts were calculated.
