Standard molar Gibbs free energy of formation of Pb5CrO8(s), Pb2CrO5(s), and PbCrO4(s)

Standard molar Gibbs free energy of formation of ternary oxides Pb₅CrO₈(s), Pb₂CrO₅(s), and PbCrO₄(s) were determined by measuring equilibrium oxygen partial pressures over relevant phase fields using manometry and solid oxide electrolyte based emf methods and are given by: ${\mathrm{\Delta }}_f{G}_m^{°}{\text{Pb}}_5{\text{CrO}}_8(s)\pm 0.55/(\text{kJ}·{\text{mol}}^{-1})=-1809.4+0.6845(T/\text{K})(837\le T/\text{K}\le 1008)\text{,}$${\mathrm{\Delta }}_f{G}_m^{°}{\text{Pb}}_2{\text{CrO}}_5(\text{s})\pm 0.30/(\text{kJ}·{\text{mol}}^{-1})=-1161.3+0.4059(T/\text{K})(859\le T/\text{K}\le 1021)\text{,}$${\mathrm{\Delta }}_{\text{f}}{G}_m^{°}{\text{PbCrO}}_4(\text{s})\pm 0.17/(\text{kJ}·{\text{mol}}^{-1})=-909.8+0.3111(T/\text{K})(863\le T/\text{K}\le 1093)\text{,}$     

Behavior of Lβ2 visible satellites in gold around L1 threshold

The Au $L{\beta }_2$ visible satellites, $L{\beta }_2^{\prime }$ and $L{\beta }_2^{″}$ were measured around the $L_1$ absorption edge using a high-resolution Johann-type spectrometer at BL15XU, SPring-8. The relative intensities of the $L{\beta }_2^{\prime }$ and $L{\beta }_2^{″}$ satellites to that of the $L{\beta }_2$ line exhibit an abrupt jump at the $L_1$ threshold. The results suggest that the origin of the $L{\beta }_2$ satellites is mainly the $L_1$–$L_3{M}_{4,5}$ Coster–Kronig transitions.     

Über die anodische oxidation von hydrazinderivaten an platin im sauren elektrolyten: Teil III. Dimethylhydrazin

As can be seen from controlled potential electrolysis the anodic oxidation of dimethyl-hydrazine in acid solutions yields two electrons per DMH molecule, giving the following overall reaction:

${(C{H}_3)}_2\stackrel{+}{N}HN{H}_2\to {(C{H}_3)}_2\stackrel{+}{N}=NH+2H^{+}+2e^{?}$

But the kinetics of the reaction is determined by a 1-electron step as the 110 mV Tafel slope shows. The reaction orders for DMH and H⁺ are z_DMH=0.54 and z_H⁺=?0.55 respectively. These results can be interpreted by the following reaction mechanism, where adsorption and desorption step are governed by the Temkin isotherm

$\begin{array}{l}{\left(C{H}_3\right)}_2\stackrel{+}{N}HN{H}_2?{\left(C{H}_3\right)}_2\stackrel{+}{N}HNH?Pt+H^{+}+e^{?}\\ {\left(C{H}_3\right)}_2\stackrel{+}{N}HNH?Pt\stackrel{r.d.s.}{\to }{\left(C{H}_3\right)}_2\stackrel{+}{N}=NH+PtH\\ PtH\to Pt+H^{+}+e^{?}\end{array}$

     

Addendum to “Volumetric properties of binary liquid-phase mixture of (water + glycerol) at temperatures of (278.15 to 323.15) K and pressures of (0.1 to 100) MPa” [J. Chem. Thermodyn. 79 (2014) 135–158]: Effect of pressure on excess thermodynamic characteristics of mixture water + glycerol

Experimentally determined volumetric properties of the liquid binary mixture of {water (1) + glycerol (2)} were processed to calculate the changes of the following thermodynamic parameters with pressure: excess molar Gibbs free energy, ${\mathrm{\Delta }}_{P_o\to P}{G}_m^E$, excess molar entropy, ${\mathrm{\Delta }}_{P_o\to P}{S}_m^E$, excess molar enthalpy, ${\mathrm{\Delta }}_{P_o\to P}{H}_m^E$, as well as the enthalpy of mixing of water and glycerol, $H_m^E$, at 100 MPa. The mixing enthalpies of water and glycerol, $H_m^E$, became more exothermic with pressure increasing at all temperatures studied.     

Heterometallic hexanuclear isobutyrate clusters based on di- and tripodal alcohols

Four hexanuclear coordination clusters containing $\{{\mathrm{M}}_4^{\mathrm{II}}{\mathrm{M}}_2^{\mathrm{III}}\}$ cores of edge-sharing coordination octahedra exemplify how mixed-spin derivatives of a homonuclear parent structure, [${\mathrm{Mn}}_4^{\mathrm{II}}{\mathrm{Mn}}_2^{\mathrm{III}}{\mathrm{L}}_8$(N–O)₄], can be realized by a ligand ‘shrink-wrapping’ approach, resulting in [${\mathrm{Mn}}_2^{\mathrm{II}}{\mathrm{Co}}_2^{\mathrm{II}}{\mathrm{Mn}}_2^{\mathrm{III}}{\mathrm{L}}_8$(N–O)₄]- and [${\mathrm{Co}}_4^{\mathrm{II}}{\mathrm{Fe}}_2^{\mathrm{III}}{\mathrm{L}}_8$(N-O)₄]-type clusters (L = isobutyrate, N–O = methyldiethanolamine, n-butyldiethanolamine, or triethanolamine). The resulting core structures are either virtually isostructural to the parent structure or differ in the placement of the peripheral metal ions, depending on the mix of structure-directing carboxylate and alkoxyamine ligands with large, flexible alkyl chains. Whereas the $\{{\mathrm{Mn}}_4^{\mathrm{II}}{\mathrm{Mn}}_2^{\mathrm{III}}\}$ and {${\mathrm{Co}}_4^{\mathrm{II}}{\mathrm{Fe}}_2^{\mathrm{III}}$} complexes show dominant antiferromagnetic exchange, ferrimagnetic coupling features are exhibited by two {${\mathrm{Mn}}_2^{\mathrm{II}}{\mathrm{Co}}_2^{\mathrm{II}}{\mathrm{Mn}}_2^{\mathrm{III}}$} clusters.
