A simplified View of δ → δ* Transition Energies in Compounds with multiple metal-metal bonds: The isolated δ — δ* manifold model

The energetics of the * transition in quadruply bonded complexes are investigated using a very simple valence-bond formalism, called the isolated * manifold (IDDM) model. In this model all electrons except for those that occupy the or * molecular orbitals are ignored, as are explicit metal-ligand interactions. The resulting equations allow the calculation of transition energies very inexpensively, albeit with poor quantitative agreement: the * transition in prototypical quadruple-bond systems is predicted to occur at energies greater than 70,000 cm¹. The model incorporates configuration interaction between the two¹ A _1g configurations (|| and |**|) to roughly the same extent as do correlated all-electron calculations. The application of the method to systems that involve relative changes in * transition energies, such as the torsional twisting of quadruple bonds, is more successful quantitatively.     

Complex polarizability as used to analyze dielectric relaxation measurements

The effect of representing dielectric properties in terms of the complex polarizability ^c = – i is examined. Loss curves ( and tan ) are shifted towards higher frequencies, revealing the existence of new relaxations and allowing the clarifications of ones already known. We have calculated the shift ratios (at maximum or tan )/ (at maximum or tan ) from the more conventional empirical equations representing the dielectric behavior. Some examples are given.     

Theoretical and Empirical Relationships Between the Redox Potentials and <Superscript>1</Superscript>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">δ</Emphasis>→<Emphasis Type="Italic">δ</Emphasis>*) Transition Energies of Quadruply Bonded Complexes

An analysis of the available electrochemical and electronic-sectroscopic data for quadruply metal–metal bonded complexes reveals that the ¹(*) transition energy is an approximately linear function of the difference between the electrode potentials at which they are reduced and oxidized to the bond-order 3. 5 complexes. A theoretical framework for interpreting this correlation is provided by extending to the redox potentials a simple zero-differential-overlap model previously applied to ¹(*) transition energies. It is suggested on the basis of this model that the simplicity of the empirical relationship between ¹(*) energies and redox potentials is a consequence of the particular one- and two-electron energy terms that characterize these complexes; a linear relationship is not required by theory.     

Untersuchung binärer metallischer Systeme mit Hilfe des Amalgamverfahrens. Das System Nickel-Zinn

Zusammenfassung Eine unter Anwendung des Amalgamverfahrens durchgeführte Untersuchung des Systems Nickel-Zinn ergab bis 50 At.-% Zinn sehr gute Übereinstimmung mit dem Schmelzdiagramm. In Legierungen mit höherem Zinngehalt wurden jedoch, abweichend von den Ergebnissen bisheriger Untersuchungen, zwei einander strukturell sehr ähnliche Phasen und ₁ mit schmalem Homogenbereich aufgefunden. Die -Phase ist identisch mit der bereits in Schmelzlegierungen festgestellten monoklinen Kristallart; ihre Zusammensetzung ist aber gegenüber dem Schmelzdiagramm gegen die Nickelseite hin verschoben.Die zinnreichere ₁-Phase ist von der -Phase durch einen heterogenen Bereich von nur 2,5% getrennt. Bei höheren Temperaturen tritt eine Aufweitung des - und eine Verengung des ₁-Gebietes ein, wobei der zwischen diesen Phasen liegende heterogene Bereich noch schmaler wird; er umfaßt bei 600° nur mehr 0,5%.Mit 3 Abbildungen.Herrn Prof. Dr.A.

Transformed steroids. 121. Synthesis of the δ-lactone of 3β-acetoxy-16α-hydroxy-6-oxo-24-nor-5α-chol-17(20)-en-23-oic acid

The synthesis of the ¹⁷⁽²⁰⁾-16 analog of natural chiogralactone is described. Attempts to introduce a 6-oxo group directly into the -lactone proved unsuccessful, since the first stage — saponification — took place with the formation of three products: the 3-hydroxy--lactone, the 3-hydroxy-²⁰⁽²²⁾-lactone, and the 15,17(20)-dienoic acid. The synthesis of the desired compound was effected from the ethyl ester of the 5,16-dienoic acid by the scheme 3-acetate3-tosylate6-hydroxy-3,5-cyclosteroid6-oxo-3,5-cyclosteroid6-oxo-5H--lactone. It has been shown that the cyclopropane ring in the 3,5-cyclosteroid -lactone is extremely stable under the conditions of acid treatments.N. D.

Hydrocarbon hydrogenolysis on nickel-tin catalysts

Hydrogenolysis of ethane, n-hexane and cyclohexane has been studied on nickel-kieselguhr catalysts modified by organic and inorganic compounds of tin. Tin additives decrease nickel reactivity with respect to C–C dissociation, which is ascribed to the formation of surface intermetallides on the catalyst.

Analysis of thermal desorption spectra of oxygen desorbed from rhodium

Thermal desorption spectra of oxygen desorbed from rhodium have been analyzed in terms of models accounting for the effect of lateral interactions between adsorbed particles and of their diffusion into the bulk of metal on the desorption kinetics of O₂. Complex configuration of these spectra is ascribed to the processes of formation/decomposition of surface Rh oxides and the diffusion of particles into the near-surface layers of metal and back to the surface.

Dehydration of lithium triphosphate pentahydrate,Li5P3O10· 5H2O

The kinetics of isothermal-isobaric dehydration of Li₅P₃O₁₀·5H₂O in vacuum (p=10^–1 hPa) and in water vapour atmosphere ( =23·hPa) was investigated by TG in the temperature range 40–140°. It was shown that the initial non-degradation removal of 1/10 of the crystal water, the rate of which is sensitive to , proceeds according to the laws of reversible topochemical reactions. In the next, irreversible degradation stage, where the bulk of the crystal water is removed, the kinetic characteristics of the process and the DSC effects exhibit a low sensitivity to the water vapour pressure. The peculiarities of Li₅P₃O₁₀·5H₂O dehydration were considered in comparison with the thermal behaviour of Na₅P₃O₁₀·6H₂O and K₅P₃O₁₀·4H₂O.

Zusammenfassung Die Kinetik der isotherm-isobaren Dehydratisierung von Li₅P₃O₁₀·5H₂O in Vakuum (p=10^–4 hPa) und in Wasserdampfatmosphäre ( =23 hPa) wurde durch TG im Temperaturbereich von 40–140° untersucht. Es wurde gezeigt, daß die anfängliche, noch keine Zersetzung zur Folge habende Eliminierung von 1/10 des Kristallwassers, deren Geschwindigkeit von abhängt, nach den Gesetzen der reversiblen topochemischen Reaktionen abläuft. Im nächsten irreversiblen Zersetzungsschritt, in dem die Hauptmenge des Kristallwassers austritt, sind die kinetischen Kennwerte des Prozesses und die DSC-Effekte nur wenig vom Wasserdampfdruck abhängig. Die Besonderheiten der Dehydratisierung von Li₅P₃O₁₀·5H₂O werden im Vergleich mit dem thermischen Verhalten von Na₅P₃O₁₀·6H₂O und K₅P₃O₁₀·4H₂O erörtert.

Effect of medium composition on the monooxygenase activity of immobilized hemin in aniline oxidation

The effect of the composition of the reaction medium on the rate of aniline oxidation to p-aminophenol by hydrogen peroxide on hemin immobilized on -propylimidazole-modified silica has been studied. Organic solvent additives (alcohols, esters and nitriles) are shown to increase the reaction rate. The observed effect is attributed to the decrease of the medium dielectric constant.

Influence of the sample mass and the presence of the reaction products on the thermoanalytical results

It has been known from the very beginning of the thermal analysis that the transport processes can significantly influence the thermoanalytical results. In this paper, three characteristic examples are given to show that this problem is more complex and arises more frequently than it is generally believed. The studied reactions are the carbon monoxide evolution from calcium oxalate, the thermal degradation of polytetrafluoroethylene, and the thermal decomposition of azodicarbonamide. TG and DSC experiments were carried out with sample masses varying between 0.05 and 8 mg. The necessity of the development of new kinetic models is concluded.
