IR and thermal studies on lithium oxomolybdenum(VI) oxalate

A new molybdenum(VI) complex, Li₂[Mo₂O₆(C₂O₄)] · 2 H₂O (LMO), was prepared and characterized by chemical analysis and IR spectral studies. Its thermal decomposition was studied by using TG and DTA techniques. LMO loses its two moles of water between 75 and 170° to give the anhydrous product, which decomposes in three stages between 240 and 380°. The first two stages occur in the temperature ranges 240–280° and 280–305°, to give intermediates with the tentative compositions Li₆[Mo₆O₁₉(C₂O₄)₂] and Li₆[Mo₆O₂₀(C₂O₄)], respectively. In the third stage, which extends up to 380°, Li₆[Mo₆O₂₀(C₂O₄)] decomposes to give the end-product, Li₂Mo₂O₇.

The phase diagram of the Ce-Sn system was investigated in the 0–50 percent tin composition range, using differential thermal, X-ray and metallographic analyses. Four intermediate phases were found in this range: Ce₃Sn (940 °C), Ce₅Sn₃ (1505 °C), Ce₅Sn₄ (1510 °C) and Ce₁₁Sn₁₀ ( 1400 °C).

Effect of nickel on the hydrogenating activity of MoS2

The activating effect of nickel on MoS₂ impregnated with an aqueous solution of Ni(CH₃COO)₂ and sulfided has been established to be proportional to the amount of active nickel incorporated as Ni²⁺ cations in the MoS₂ lattice. MoS₂ capacity for active nickel is limited and determined by the preparation method of the parent MoS₂.

Kinetic analysis of thermogravimetric data on some nickel(II) N-alkyldithiocarbamates

Thermogravimetric and derivative thermogravimetric curves of some complexes [Ni(S₂CNHR)₂] (R=Me, Et, Prⁱ, Buⁱ, Bu^t, Bz,p-MePh,p-MeOPh,p-ClPh,p-NO₂Ph) in a dynamic nitrogen atmosphere were studied to determine their modes of decomposition. All these complexes show similar TG profiles. The weight losses in the main decomposition stages indicate conversion of the nickel(II) dithiocarbamates to sulphide. Reaction orders were estimated via the shape characteristics of the corresponding derivative thermogravimetric curves and kinetic analysis of the thermogravimetric data was performed by using the Coats-Redfern and Horowitz-Metzger methods.

Alle diese Komplexe zeigen ähnliche TG-Proflle. Die Gewichtsverluste der Hauptzersetzungsschritte weisen auf eine Umwandlung der Nickel(II)dithiokarbamate in Sulfide hin. Aus dem Verlauf der korrespondierenden DTG-Kurven wurde auf die Reaktionsordnung geschlossen und unter Anwendung der Coats-Redfern und Horowitz-Metzger Methoden wurde eine kinetische Analyse der TG-Daten durchgeführt.

A new improved expression for gamma-ray detection efficiency of Ge(Li) detectors

In the present paper, a new improved expression for -ray detection efficiency of Ge(Li) detectors, ⁰ , is given. It is represented as a continuous function of x (viz. E ^–1) with a maximum and decreases very rapidly to a small positive value as -ray energy, E, drops to 40 keV or lower, but slowly as E rises to 1.7 MeV or higher. Since it can well represent the whole physical process of the -ray detection, this expression may be one of the simplest and most precise representations, for ⁰ at the present time.     

Thermal decomposition of halo-bis(piperidyldithio-carbamates) of As(III), Sb(III) and Bi(III)

Simultaneous TG/DTG/DTA studies under non-isothermal conditions have been carried out in air and nitrogen on some halo-dithiocarbamates of the general formula XM[S₂CN(CH₂)₅]₂ (X=Cl, Br and I; andM=As, Sb and Bi).E* values for the 1st stage of decomposition were determined by graphical methods and the TTN temperatures were calculated from the TG profiles. A possible mechanism of the decomposition reaction is suggested, based on the thermoanalytical and pyrolysis results and the mass spectral data. The kinetic analysis data on five of the above dithiocarbamates and nine complexes of the general formula M[S₂CN<]₃ (M=As, Sb and Bi; and N<=NEt₂, N(CH₂)₅ and N(CH₂)₄O) were studied by the QIA (quasi-isothermal analysis) technique in air atmosphere. An example of kinetic parameter (k andn) estimation for the first decomposition stage is given for Bi[S₂CN(CH₂)₅]₃, with the assumption of different kinetic equations.

Calorimetry for thermokinetic determinations

The possibilities of using direct calorimetric measurements for the determination of kinetic parameters of processes are discussed in terms of the choice of an appropriate method of reproduction of the course of changes in the heat power generated in time, i.e. thermokinetics. Such methods are presented and it is concluded that many of these methods permit reproduction of the thermokinetics in the same way as if the experimental thermal curve were obtained in a calorimetric system characterized by a time constant 100–200 times as large as that for the thermal inertia of this calorimetric system.

Zusammenfassung Die Möglichkeiten zur Benutzung direkter kalorimetrischer Messungen zur Bestimmung kinetischer Parameter von Prozessen werden hinsichtlich der Wahl geeigneter Methoden zur Reproduzierung des Verlaufs der Änderungen der Wärmekraft mit der Zeit, d.h. zur Reproduzierung der Thermokinetik diskutiert. Solche Methoden werden angeführt und es wird die Schlussfolgerung gezogen, dass viele dieser Methoden die Reproduzierung der Thermokinetik auf gleiche Weise wie in den Fällen erlauben, in denen die thermische Kurve mit einem kalorimetrischen System erhalten wird, dessen Zeitkonstante um 100–200mal grösser als die des diskutierten Systems ist.

Reversed phase liquid chromatographic retention behavior of polystyrene homopolymers

Summary Isocratic and gradient elution high performance liquid chromatographic measurements of the retention behavior of polystyrene homopolymers with molecular weights ranging from 2 kD to 390 kD were performed using mixed methylene chloride-methanol mobile phases of varying composition and a C-18 chemically bonded stationary phase supported on either 100 Å or 300 Å mean pore diameter silica. Isocratic measurements of the capacity factor, k, for different molecular weight homopolymers as a function of the volume fraction of methylene chloride, , permit determination of the critical composition, _c, which renders k=1 and the local slope, S=–lnk/_c of the lnk- isotherm at =_c, and also the dependence of _c and S on the degree of polymerization, M. Linear gradient elution measurements of _c and S were also performed and compared to the corresponding isocratic measurements. The general retention behavior and the dependence of _c and S on M compare favorably to the predictions of the theory of homopolymer retention and fractionation developed by Boehm, Martire, Armstrong, and Bui (BMAB). Comparison is also made between the present work and the experimental observations of other workers on related chromatographic systems involving hompolymer retention.
