Untersuchungen über das dielektrische Verhalten von Polypropylen

Zusammenfassung Das Verhalten von Polypropylen im elektrischen Wechselfeld wurde im Frequenzbereich von 0,15 kHz bis 300 kHz und im Temperaturbereich von –75 C bis +140 C untersucht. Es konnte sowohl ein Tieftemperaturdispersionsgebiet —-Absorption — als auch ein Hochtemperaturdispersionsgebiet —-Absorption — beobachtet werden. Die Untersuchungsergebnisse wurden, um die Breite des Dispersionsgebietes und die zugehörigen -Stufen zu bestimmen, nach demCole-Cole-Kreisbogengesetz analysiert. Aus dem Anstieg der Geraden: logf _max 1/T _K wurden sowohl für die- als auch fur die-Absorption die experimentellen Aktivierungsenergien berechnet. Eine Deutung der Ergebnisse wurde versucht.     

On the catalytic system MgO?Na

Acid-base and radical properties of two sets of MgO–Na catalysts have been studied. The catalysts were prepared (I) by impregnation of MgO with NaOH in aqueous solution, and (II) by evaporation of metallic sodium onto a MgO surface. The catalyst prepared by the second method was much more basic than pure MgO (H_o=35) and showed a high activity in olefin isomerization.

Influence of Mo ions and OH groups on l-butene isomerization

It has been shown that loading of silica and silica-alumina with Mo(VI) increases considerably their catalytic activity in 1-butene isomerization to 2-butenes with the preservation of carbocation intermediate mechanism. For the enhancement of catalytic activity the presence of acidic OH groups and Mo(VI) reducible to Mo(V) is necessary.

Formation Enthalpy of Exciplexes with Partial Charge Transfer as a Function of the Electron-Transfer Driving Force

The dependence of the formation enthalpy ()H _Ex* and the Gibbs energy (G _Ex*) of exciplexes with partial charge transfer on the Gibbs energy of electron transfer G _et*, the parameters of the electronic structure of an exciplex (the difference in the energies of the charge transfer (CT) state and a locally excited state (LE) in a vacuum ( H ₂₂ ⁰– H ₁₁ ⁰), the matrix element of the electronic coupling of the CT and LE states H ₁₂, the dipole moment of the CT state, and the repulsion energy in an exciplex a"), and the polarity of the medium was analyzed. The consideration of the repulsion energy in the exciplex is necessary for correlation of the experimental values of H _Ex* and the spectral shift of the exciplex emission with respect to the LE state. All of these parameters depend on the particular nature of the exciplex, which is the reason for the lack of the general dependence of H _Ex* and G _Ex* on G _et* for exciplexes with partial charge transfer.     

Thermal effects on glass As2Se3·As2Te3

The DTA trace of the chalcogenide glass As₂Se₃·As₂Te₃ shows a single glass transition at 142 °C, a single crystallization exotherm depending on the heating rate, and two melting endotherms, at 290 °C and 312 °C. The X-ray diffraction for a crystallized sample indicates the presence of two solid solution phases: Te in As₂Se₃ (rich in Se) and Se in As₂Te₃ (rich in Te), confirming that the single crystallization peak of the initially homogeneous phase (singleT _g ) represents two coincident peaks superimposed. The crystallization of the glass phase is also clearly manifested in the time-dependence of the electrical conductivity and microphotography.

Zusammenfassung Die DTA-Kurve von chalcogenidem Glas As₂Se₃·As₂Te₃ läßt eine Glastransformation bei 142 °C, eine von der Aufheizgeschwindigkeit abhängige exotherme Kristallisation und zwei endotherme Schmelzvorgänge bei 290 und 312 °C erkennen. Röntgendiffraktometrie der kristallisierten Probe zeigt das Vorliegen von zwei Phasen fester Lösungen:Te in As₂Se₃ (reich an Se) und Se in As₂Te₃ (reich an Te). Das steht in Übereinstimmung damit, daß der Kristallisationspeak der ursprünglich homogenen Phase (einT _g -Wert) zwei sich überlagernde Peaks repräsentiert. Die Kristallisation der Glasphase ist klar an der Zeitabhängigkeit der elektrischen Leitfähigkeit und durch Mikrophotographie zu erkennen.

Sterol sulfates from the Far Eastern holothurianCucumaria japonica

A chloroform-methanol extract of the musculocutaneous sac of the Far-Eastern holothurianC. japonica has yielded a fraction of sterol sulfates (13% of the weight of the extract, 0.8% of the weight of the dry biomass), the main components of which were derivatives of cholest-5-en-3-ol, 24-methylene-, 24-ethyl-, and 24-ethylidenecholest-5-en-3-ols, 5-cholestan-3-ol, and 24-methyl- and 24-methylene-5-cholesten-3-ol; among the minor components were found the sulfates of 24-ethyl-5-cholestan-3-ol of cholesta-5,22-dien-3-ol, of a ⁵-C₃₀ sterol, and also of dienic and trienic C₂₆ sterols.Institute of Immunology, Ministry of Health of the USSR, Moscow.

Thermal and mechanical studies on the cure time optimisation of polysulphide resin

The effect of two commercially available metal oxide curing agents, PbO₂ and MnO₂, on the cure time, kinetic parameters and ultimate tensile strength of the polysulphide polymer was investigated. The kinetic parameters for the thermal decomposition of the two systems were evaluated from their TG data. Both the energy of activation and pre-exponential factor showed a systematic increase with increase in cure and levelled off after the reaction. The cure time was also followed by determining the mechanical properties of the samples at regular intervals. The ultimate tensile strength values and the kinetic parameters follow similar trend with respect to the cure time. The kinetic parameters and the ultimate tensile strength for the PbO₂ cured polysulphide system were on the higher side.

Zusammenfassung Es wurde der Einfluß von zwei im Handel erhältlichen Metalloxidhärtemitteln. PbO₂ und MnO₂, auf die Aushärtungszeit, die kinetischen Parameter und die Zugfestigkeit von Polysulfidpolymeren untersucht. Die kinetischen Parameter für die thermische Zersetzung der zwei Systeme wurden aus deren TG-Daten ermittelt. Sowohl die Aktivierungsenergie als auch der präexponentielle Faktor wachsen mit fortschreitender Aushärtung ständig an und erreichen nach Verlauf der Reaktion einen konstanten Wert. In gleichmäßigen Zeitabschnitten wurde die Aushärtungszeit auch durch Bestimmen der mechanischen Eigenschaften der Proben verfolgt. In Bezug auf die Aushärtungszeit zeigen die Zugfestigkeit und die kinetischen Parameter einen ähnlichen Verlauf. Die kinetischen Parameter und die Zugfestigkeit von mit PbO₂ gehärteten Polysulfidsystemen zeigen bessere Werte.

N′-(α-acetoximinoalkyl)diazene-N-oxides and some of their transformations

Nitroso compounds of the aromatic and aliphatic series react with O-acetylalkanoylamidoximes in the presence of dibromoisocyanurate, forming the previously unknown N-(-acetoximinoalkyl)diazene-N-oxides, which under gaseous NH₃ or oxalic acid in methanol lose the acetyl group and as a result are transformed into the previously unknown N-(-hydroximinoalkyl)diazene-N-oxides.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 1, pp. 109–114, January, 1991.     

Alkaline Hydrolysis of Nitroglycerin and Activation of Luminol Chemiluminescence

Alkaline hydrolysis of nitroglycerin (G) was studied using the chemiluminescent reaction of the hydrolysis products with 4-dimethylaminophthalhydrazide (L). The chemiluminescence kinetics follows the pseudo-unimolecular law, with the rate constant k ₁ proportional to [OH^–]. The apparent bimolecular constant k ₂ = k ₁/[OH^–] is equal to 0.021 l mol^–1 s^–1. The chemiluminescence quantum yield per one nitroglycerin molecule _G = (1.3 ± 0.3) × 10^–3 photons per one molecule ([G₀] [L]), and the reactant chemiluminescence quantum yield upon excitation by species X formed from G in the course of hydrolysis is (2.6 × 0.5) × 10^–2 photons per molecule ([G] [L₀]]). Hence, it follows that the hydrolysis of 100 nitroglycerin molecules results in about five X molecules exciting chemiluminescence. The effects of temperature, ionic strength, and composition of the solution on k ₂ were studied. Quantum-chemical calculation on the interaction of ^– ion with G molecule shows a possibility for peroxynitrite formation upon approach of the ion to the nitro group within the NO₂ plane. If the approach occurs not in the NO₂ plane, the conventional hydrolysis mechanism with substitution at nitrogen is realized.     

Nucleation of the β-modification of isotactic polypropylene

The effects of the organic pigments C.I.P. RED 177 and C.I.P. Yellow 83 as nucleating agents on the crystallization of polypropylene were studied by DSC. The anthraquinone pigment exerted a significant effect, resulting in structural modifications with lower melting point, and particularly the -modification. The DSC curves exhibit four transition regions, with the following temperature intervals: I. 415–417 K, II. 423–425 K, III. 430–432 K and IV. 438–439 K. For evaluation of the -nucleation effect of pigments, the ratio (H ₁+H ₂)/(H ₃+H ₄) was suggested.     

Kinetics and mechanisms of halide ion catalysis of CO substitution reactions in Os3(CO)12 and Ru3(CO)12 metal carbonyl clusters

The results of kinetic studies on ligand substitution in [M₃(CO)₁₁X]^– complexes (M = Ru, Os; X = Cl, Br, I) are summarized. The [Os₃(CO)₁₁X]^– complexes react with PPh₃ under mild conditions to initially yield monosubstituted products [Os₃(CO)₁₀(PPh₃)X]^–. The rate of CO substitution obeys a first-order equation with respect to the concentration of the complex and does not depend on the ligand concentration. The rates of the reactions decrease in the order Cl > Br > I withH values increasing from 15 to 18 kcal mol^–1 and S values varying from –19 to –13 cal mol^–1 K^–1. The enhanced reactivities of these complexes as well as the low activation energies and negative activation entropies are discussed in terms of the effects of -X bridge formation on the transition state of the reaction. Reactions of PPN[Ru₃(CO)_11–x (Cl)] (PPN is the bis(triphenylphosphine)iminium cation;x=0, 1) and PPN[Ru₃(CO)₉(₃-I)] with alkynes are also reported. The reactivities of alkynes follow the order BuCCH PhCCH EtCCEt PhCCPh. The higher rates of the reactions of monosubstituted acetylenes compared with those of their disubstituted analogs are explained by agostic interaction between the metal atom and the C-H bond in the reaction transition state and by steric effects. The results obtained attest that the reaction with alkynes occursvia intermediates containing halide bridges and that ₃-halide complexes are more reactive than ₂-halide complexes.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Micro reversed phase liquid chromatography of Cd-, Ni-, Zn-, Cu-, Co-, Hg-diethyldithiocarbamates at picogram level

Summary The use of micro reversed phase columns (Polygosil C18) for the separation of metal DDTC chelates was investigated and applied to drinking water analysis.Three different eluents have been tested [702010 (MeOH H₂OCHCl₃); 8020 (MeOHH₂O); 7030 (MeOHH₂O)] at flow rates of 7 to 28gml/min. Eluent composition showed strong influence onk of Co(DDTC)₂.The linear working curves fitted at least 3 decades with detection limit of 40–500 pg. Monitoring at _max instead of 254 nm decreases the detection limits. The consume of eluent is 10 to 20 times less than with analytical columnes.Results of micro LC have been compared with predictible data of theoretical considerations.

Synthesis and characterization of the novel molecular sieve CFSAPO-1

A novel type of molecular sieve named CFSAPO-1 was synthesised hydrothermally in a system of MA(methylamine)-Al₂O₃-P₂O₅-SiO₂-H₂O at 150°C. The molar composition of reactants was: MA: Al₂O₃P₂O₅SiO₂H₂O=(0.8–1.2)1(0.8–1.2)(0.4–3)40. XRD, IR, thermoanalysis, and adsorption studies show that the original product CFSAPO-1 is transformed into a form with molecular sieve properties after calcination. The free dimension of the adsorption window of the form is 5.8–6.2 Å. There were no distinctly thermal effects on the DTA curve at 600°C and 800°C related to two transformations detected by X-ray diffraction.     

Ab initio calculations of potential energy surface for reaction of nucleophilic addition of H− ion to methylacetylene

Within the framework of the Hartree-Fock-Roothaan Method, using double- basis sets 3-21++G and (6-31-H-G//3-21++G), the minimum energy paths (MEPs) have been calculated for reactions of nucleophilic addition of the hydride ion H^– to the methylacetylene molecule: CH₃-CCH+H^–[CH₃-CH=CH]^– (1) CH₃-CCH+H^–[CH₃-C=CH₂]^– (2). It has been established that the activation energy for reaction (2) is 7.02 kJ/mole lower than for reaction (1). An analysis has been made of the character of electron density distribution along the MEP of each reaction. It has been shown that distortion of geometry of the reactants plays an important role in intensifying the interaction of the frontier orbitals. The reasons for nonfulfillment of Markownikoff's rule for these reactions have been determined. The results from the calculations are compared with calculations reported in the literature for the related reaction of nucleophilic addition of the hydride ion H^– to the acetylene molecule: HCCH+H^–[CH₂=CH]^–.Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Éxperimental'naya Khimiya, Vol. 21, No. 3, pp. 303–309, May–June, 1985.     

The electrical conductance of hexaamminemetal nitrates in liquid ammonia

The electrical conductance behavior of hexaamminemetal nitrates of Cr(III), Co(II–III), Ni(II), and Cu(II) in liquid ammonia has been measured at temperatures varying from –40 to –75°C. Both univalent and divalent dissociations have been considered. The two outer-sphere association constantsK ₁ andK ₂, which control the properties in the concentration range employed, have been determined together with ₀ in a way described earlier by Fuoss. The thermodynamic quantities H^o and S^o of the univalent dissociation, evaluated from the temperature dependence of the association constants, are remarkably independent of the nature and charge of the metal ion. Walden products of the cations are presented and discussed.     

A calorimetric investigation into copper–arginine and copper–alanine solid state interactions

Complexes of formula CuCl₂ · 2arg and CuCl₂ · 4ala (arg = arginine; ala = alanine) were prepared at room temperature by a solid state route. The metal–amino acid solid state interactions were studied by i.r. spectroscopy and solution calorimetry. For both complexes, participation of the carboxylate group as well as nitrogen in coordination are inferred, based on the i.r. data. For the copper–arginine compound, the calculated thermochemical parameters are: _rH_m = –114.9 ± 1.42 and _fH_m = –1608.3 ± 11.6 kJ mol^–1. For copper–alanine compound, a complete set of thermochemical parameters were calculated: _rH_m = –18.0 ± 0.9; _fH_m = –2490.4 ± 4.3; _DH_m = 597.2 ± 17.7; _MH_m = 771.9 ± 18.7; _gH_m = 627.1 ± 22.3 and D (Cu–L) = 156.8 ± 5.7 kJ mol^–1. Based on _rH_m and dissolution enthalpy values, a stronger intermolecular solid state interaction can be inferred for the arginine complex, than for the alanine one complex, probably due to the formation of intermolecular hydrogen bonds in the former.
