Reaction of ammonium sulphate with aluminium oxide

The reaction between ammonium sulphate with aluminium oxide was studied. It was confirmed by X-ray diffraction and chemical analysis that three intermediate reaction products, (NH₄)₃Al(SO₄)₃, NH₄Al(SO₄)₂ and Al₂(SO₄)₃, are formed. The thermal decompositions of these three compounds were carried out. It has been shown that the same rate law is valid for them. The activation energies for (NH₄)₃Al(SO₄)₃, NH₄Al(SO₄)₂ and Al₂(SO₄)₃ are 95.9, 177.9 and 291.0 kj/mol, respectively.

The relation between the nonlinear dielectric effect and solvent polarity

The relation between solvent polarity expressed through the Dimroth-Reichardt spectroscopic parameter E _T (30) and the nonlinear dielectric effect (NDE) expressed through the parameter /E² is demonstrated where is a change in the electric permittivity of a solvent in an external strong electric field E. Both E _T (20) and /E², determined in quite different ways, are extremely sensitive to the dielectric properties of a solvent which depend on molecular interactions. Linear correlations between /E² and E _T (30) have been found for n-alkanols representing hydrogenbond donor solvents, and for halogenobenzenes which are dipolar, aprotic, weakly-associated solvents.Part of this work was presented at The 22^nd International Conference on Solution Chemistry in Linz, Austria, July 1991.     

The complete multi-ζ electric dipole moment matrix of π-(C6H6) Cr(CO)3 and tests of semi-empirical MO models

First, we evaluated the complete electric dipole moment matrixeZ using a multi- AO basis on Cr, C, and O centers fortheimportant, parent organometallic molecule -C₆H₆Cr(CO)₃. Second, we generated ground state LCAO-MO eigenvectors employing five commonly used semi-empirical procedures for molecules of this size which contain transition metals. Transformation of operator matrixeZ into the MO space of each of the five methods then leads us to conclude that the empirical input of Basch, Viste and Gray is most suitable. Finally, we compare the merits of several single- basis orbitals with the multi- metal orbitals.[/p]

Effect of CO2 on O2 photo-adsorption on anatase

The presence of CO₂ on TiO₂ affects the process of oxygen photo-adsorption depending on the hydroxylation state of the surface. In dehydroxylated samples CO₂ blocks the formation of O ₃ ^– and O ₂ ^– . On H₂O₂/TiO₂ samples pretreated in the range of 150–200°C it leads to CO₂–O ₂ ^– species.

Heterogeneous reactions of solid nickel(II) complexes

The influence of different modes of preparation on the stoichiometry of thermal decomposition of isothiocyanatonickel(II) complexes with ammonia was studied. It was found that the complex Ni(NCS)₂(NH₃)₄ (I) prepared by heterogeneous reaction undergoes decomposition in two steps (–2 NH₃, –2 NH₃), while for complex II, of the same composition but prepared by homogeneous reaction from solution, the decomposition proceeds in three steps (–1 NH₃, –1 NH₃, –2NH₃). Electronic and infrared absorption spectra were used for the study of the spectral properties of the starting complex. It was found that the different stoichiometries of thermal decompositions of complexes I and II do not cause differences in the bonding strength of the ammonia molecules (chemical factor); this effect is rather brought about by physical factors such as different imperfections of the crystal lattice.

Zusammenfassung Der Einfluß der Herstellung auf die Stöchiometrie der thermischen Zersetzung von Amin-Komplexen des Isothiocyanatonickels wurde studiert. Der Zerfall des Komplexes Ni(NCS)₂(NH₃)₄ (I), hergestellt durch heterogene Reaktion, verlief in zwei Etappen (–2 NH₃, –2 NH₃). Beim selben Komplex (II), hergestellt durch homogene Reaktion in Lösung, wurden jedoch drei Etappen beobachtet (–1 NH₃, –1 NH₃, –2 NH₃). Die Eigenschaften des Ausgangsproduktes wurden durch Elektronen- und IR-Spektroskopie untersucht. Das unterschiedliche thermische Verhalten ist nicht auf eine verschiedene Bindungsstärke der NH₃ Moleküle, sondern auf physikalische Ursachen, wie z. B. Unregelmässigkeiten im Kristallgitter zurückzuführen.

Résumé On a étudié l'influence des diverses méthodes de préparation sur la stoechiométrie de la réaction de décomposition thermique des complexes de l'isothiocyanate de nickel(II) avec l'ammoniac. On a établi que le complexe Ni(SCN)₂(NH₃)₄, (I), préparé rar réaction hétérogène, subit une décomposition en deux étapes (–2NH₃, –2NH₃), tandis que le complexe (II), de même composition, mais préparé par réaction homogène, à partir de solutions, se décompose en trois étapes (–1NH₃,–1NH₃, –2NH₃). Les propriétés spectrales du complexe initial ont été étudiées par absorption électronique et infrarouge. On a trouvé que les différences de stoechiométrie des réactions de décomposition thermique des complexes (I) et (II) n'apportaient pas de différences entre les énergies de liaison des molécules d'ammoniac (facteur chimique). C'est plutôt à des facteurs physiques, comme les différentes imperfections du réseau cristallin, que cet effet serait dû.

Infrared spectroscopy of hydrogen bond and substituent effects in electron donor molecules

The frequency shift, , of the O—H stretching mode in the IR spectra of the H-complexes of phenol with electron donor molecules BX_i (B is the n- or -donor center and X_i are substituents; a total of eight series), the change in the Gibbs free energy, G, due to H-complexation, and the parameter (a measure of the ability of BX_i molecules to donate an electron pair; two series) are determined by both the electrostatic interaction and charge transfer in the formation of H-complex. The , G, and values depend not only on the inductive and resonance effects, but also the polarizability of substituents characterized by the parameters.

Thermal properties of thio-and selenocyanatocopper(II) complexes with bipyridine and phenanthroline

The paper deals with the thermal properties of complex compounds of the general formula CuL₂(NCX)₂ (whereL=bipy or phen,X=S or Se). The phenanthroline complexes exhibit a higher thermal stability than those with bipyridine. For the latter complexes thermal decomposition begins with the release of bipyridine molecules, while for the phenanthroline complexes redox reactions of pseudohalogenide ligands with Cu(II) take place. The redox reactions start at a lower temperature for the selenocyanate complexes than for the thiocyanate complexes.

Die Phenanthrolinkomplexe zeigen eine grössere thermische Stabilität als die Bipyridinkomplexe. Die thermiscne Zersetzung letzterer beginnt mit der Abgabe von Bipyridinmolekülen, während bei den Phenanthrolinkomplexen Redoxreaktionen von Pseudohalogenidliganden·mit Cu(II) stattfinden. Diese Redoxreaktionen beginnen bei den Selenozyanatkomplexen bei niedrigeren Temperaturen als bei den Thiozyanatkomplexen.

CO/H2 and CO2/H2 reactions with amorphous carbon-metal catalysts

By metal impregnation of selected naturally occurring organic materials followed by controlled carbonization, metal semicoke catalysts can be readily prepared. These catalysts have been tested in the synthesis of hydrocarbons and alcohols from CO/H₂ and CO₂/H₂ mixtures. Fe and Co preparations have been used. Relatively high temperatures are required when using these catalysts, which are quite active for synthesis using CO₂ and H₂. The pressure (5150 kPa) is very favorable both for the synthesis of liquid hydrocarbons (C₅–C₃₀) and alcohols (C₁–C₅).

Excited Π states of divinyl chalcogenides and chalcophenes

Electron transitions in divinyl chalcogenides (CH₂=CHXCH=CH₂, where X is S, Se, or Te) have been analyzed using UV absorption spectra of dialkyl and alkyl vinyl chalcogenides. The following relations for the orbital energies are found: ^* < ^* < ^* < ^* for Te and ^* < ^* < ^* < ^* for S and Se. For chalcophenes, a correlation between the energy of the excited state (E ^*) of specific symmetry, the ionization potential (I) and the electron affinity (EA) is obtained:E ^*=const+(I+EA)/2. The electron affinity of divinyl chalcogenides is estimated. The correlation between the excited ^* states of divinyl chalcogenides and chalcophenes is discussed.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 5, pp. 831–835, May, 1994.
