Acetylene adsorption on a clean iridium surface

The interaction of C₂H₂ with a polycrystalline iridium surface at 140 KT500 K has been studied by AES, XPS and UPS. A model of the bonding between C₂H₂ and Ir by the 1 orbitals of the hydrocarbon is proposed. The more pronounced energy splitting between the orbitals of acetylene during adsorption compared to that in the gas phase is ascribed to deformation of the acetylene molecule.

Effect of traces of water vapor on the rate of ammonia decomposition on polycrystalline platinum

The influence of small (lower than 0.02) molar fractions of water on the rate of ammonia decomposition on platinum wires was studied for ammonia pressures varying between 6.7 and 93.3 kPa and temperatures between 800 and 1700 K. The presence of water strongly inhibited the rate of reaction in all experiments.

Parent and mixed ligand complexes in the copper(II)-ethylene glycol-sulphate system

Eleven copper(II)-ethylene glycol-sulphate complexes of different compositions were prepared, one of them-CuGl₂(H₂O)₂SO₄-in single-crystal form. A thermoanalytical study of these complexes revealed three types of thermal decomposition pattern. The X-ray structure of the single-crystal demonstrated the presence of ethylene glycol bridges resulting in endless chains in the crystal.

Thermal and photochemical stability of polystyrene and its blends with polyvinyl chloride

The influence of some irregularities in polystyrene (PS) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) chains on their thermal stability was investigated. UV irradiation caused an increase in the content of these irregularities in the polymers. It was found that the presence of carbonyl groups and crosslinking of the polymer chains hamper the thermal dehydrochlorination of PVC and the total decomposition of both polymers. On the other hand, weak peroxy linkages (which facilitate degradation processes) and conjugated double bonds decrease the temperature of total decomposition of PS and PVC blends.

Zusammenfassung Es wurde der Einfluß von Unregmlmäßigkeiten in Polystyrol (PS)- und Polyvinylchlorid (PVC)-Ketten auf deren thermische Stabilität untersucht. UV-Bestrahlung verursacht ein Ansteigen des Gehaltes an Unregelmäßigkeiten in den Polymeren. Es wurde festgestellt, daß die Gegenwart von Carbonylgruppen und Querverbindungen der Polymerketten die thermische Dehydrochlorierung von PVC und eine vollständige Zersetzung beider Polymere verhindern. Andererseits senken Peroxidverknüpfungen (die die Degradierungsvorgänge erleichtern) und konjugierte Doppelbindungen die Temperatur für eine vollständige Zersetzung von PS und PVC Gemischen.

Microcalorimetric investigation of the recrystallization behaviour of polycrystalline copper deformed at room-temperature

The recrystallization of 5 N copper samples which had been deformed at roomtemperature by torsion to an average shear of by rolling to 65% r.c.s. was investigated by means of a commercial heatflow calorimeter.During recrystallization, which was also studied by hardness tests and optical microscopy, a stored energy release of the order of 0.145 cal/g was observed. Some problems inherent in the use of microsamples are discussed. By kinetic analysis, based on variation of the linear heating rate, a value of 21.9 kcal mole^–1 was determined for the apparent activation energy of the recrystallization process in torsion samples.

Zusammenfassung Die Rekristallisation von 5 N Kupferproben, die bei Raumtemperatur durch Torsion bzw. durch Walzen (65%) verformt worden waren, wurde mit einem kommerziellen Wärmeströmungskalorimeter untersucht. Bei der Rekristallisation, die ebenfalls mit Härtemessungen und Gefügeuntersuchungen verfolgt wurde, wird eine Energiefreigabe von etwa 0.145 cal/g beobachtet. Einige bei der Verwendung von Microproben auftretende Probleme werden diskutiert. Eine Analyse der Kinetik, die auf der Variation der linearen Aufheizgeschwindigkeit basiert, ergab für die scheinbare Aktivierungsenergie des Rekristallisationprozesses in Torsionsproben einen Wert von 21.9 Kcal Mol^–1.

The application of thermoanalytical methods in the investigation of biological substances

The equilibria and thermodynamics of a number of naturally occuring isolated compounds (e.g. proteins, amino acids, carbohydrates) have recently been studied in several laboraties in different temperature ranges, and thermoanalytical methods have been used to study structural changes of biological materials, among them human tissues.In our investigations we succeeded in appling the derivatograph for the assay of glycosaminoglycans and for the characterization of the stability of crosslinked proteins in intact human and animal tissues. By means of this method age-related and pathological changes and repair reactions were studied in various connective and vascular tissues.Other temperature-dependent techniques (DSC, polarizing microscopy) were used successfully in another series of experiments. Alterations in the characteristic order-disorder transition temperatures of human serum lipoproteins could be demonstrated in pathological conditions; the altered physical structure of lipoproteins might give an additional explanation to the assumed mechanism of different metabolic disorders.

Zusammenfassung Die Gleichgewichte und die Thermodynamik einer Reihe von natürlich vorkommenden isolierten Verbindungen (z. B. Proteine, Aminosäuren, Kohlenhydrate) wurden in verschiedenen Laboratorien in verschiedenen Temperaturbereichen untersucht. Hierbei wurden thermoanalytische Methoden zum Studium der Strukturänderungen von biologischem Material, u. a. von menschlichem Gewebe, eingesetzt.In unseren Untersuchungen gelang es den Derivatographen zur Prüfung von Glycosaminoglycanen und zur Charakterisierung der Stabilität quervernetzter Proteine in intakten menschlichen und tierischen Geweben einzusetzen. Durch diese Methode wurden altersbedingte und pathologische Änderungen sowie Reaktionen zur Wiederherstellung in verschiedenen Binde und Vasculärgeweben studiert.Andere temperaturabhängige Techniken (DSC, Polarisationsmikroskopie) wurden in anderen Versuchsserien mit Erfolg eingesetzt.

Mechanism of catalysis and factors responsible for oxide catalyst activity in deep oxidation reactions

A general scheme for the deep oxidation mechanism on oxide catalysts including stepwise and concerted mechanisms as well as their mutual transformations is suggested. The principal factor responsible for the activity in the concerted mechanism region is the rate of oxygen binding. For the stepwise mechanism the main factor is the rate of catalyst interaction with oxidizable reactant.
