Studies on the non-isothermal kinetics of the thermal decomposition of [Cu(NBOCTB)][Cu(NO3)4]· H2O

The thermal decomposition process of the complex [Cu(NBOCTB)][Cu(NO₃)₄] H₂O has been studied by TG and DTG technique, and possible intermediates of the thermal decomposition have also been conjectured from the TG and DTG curves. The results suggest that the decomposition of the complex involves five steps: The non-isothermal kinetics of steps 1, 2 and 3 have been studied by means of the Achar and Coats-Redfern method based on TG and DTG curves. Step 1 is a Coring and Growth mechanism (n= 1), its kinetic equation may be expressed as: d/dt=Ae^–E/RT(1–). Steps 2 and 3 are both two order chemical reaction mechanisms, their kinetic equations can be expressed as: d/dt=Ae^–E/RT(1–)².This project was supported by the National Natural Science Youth Fundation of China.

Determination of lead and cadmium using a polycyclodextrin-modified carbon paste electrode with anodic stripping voltammetry

This work reports the use of and -cyclodextrin-modified carbon paste electrodes (CPE_-CD and CPE_-CD) to determine simultaneously Pb(II) and Cd(II) by means of the electrochemical technique known as anodic stripping voltammetry (ASV). Both modified electrodes displayed good resolution of the oxidation peaks of the said metals. Statistic analysis of the results strongly suggests that the CPE_-CD exhibited a better analytical response that the CPE_-CD, while the detection limits obtained for Pb(II) were 6.3×10^–7 M for the CPE_-CD and 7.14×10^–7 M for the CPE_-CD, whereas for Cd(II) they were 2.51×10^–6 M for the CPE_-CD and 2.03×10^–6 M for the CPE_-CD.

13C NMR spectra of 20-ketosteroids with 16α,17α three-membered ring

Conclusions ¹³C chemical shifts have been determined for 20-ketosteroids with a 16, 17 three-membered ring (X=S, NH, NAc, O, CH₂), and a linear relationship has been found between the -effects of X and the calculated changes in electron density on the C atoms C¹⁶ and C¹⁷; the - and -effects depend on the electronegativity of X. The C¹⁶ and C¹⁷ centers in the epoxysteroid (X=0) are more electrophilic than in the other analogs that were studied; this is consistent with the observed higher reactivity of the epoxide ring in reactions of cleavage by nucleophilic reagents.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 10, pp. 2189–2194, October, 1987.     

Strain Energies of α-Alkylsubstituted Styrenes, 1,1-Di-phenyl-ethene,Tri-, and Tetra-phenyl-ethene

The standard (p° = 0.1 MPa) molar enthalpies of formation _fH°_m (1 or cr) at the temperature T = 298.15 K were determined by using combustion calorimetry for -ethyl-styrene (A), -iso-propyl-styrene (B), -tert-butyl-styrene (C), 1,1-di-phenyl-ethene (D), tri-phenyl-ethene (E), and tetra-phenyl-ethene (F). The standard molar enthalpies of vaporization _l ^g H°_m or sublimation _cr ^g H°_m of compounds A to F were obtained from the temperature variation of the vapor pressure measured in a flow system. Molar enthalpies of fusion _cr ^l H°_m of solid compounds were measured by d.s.c. Resulting values of _fH°_m (g) were obtained at the temperature T = 298.15 K and used to derive strain enthalpies of phenylalkenes. The interactions of the substituents are discussed in terms of deviations of _fH°_m (g)from the group additivity rules. These values provide a further improvement on the group-contribution methodology for estimation of the thermodynamic properties of organic compounds.

Reactions of superoxide anion radical with antioxidants and their use in voltammetry

Kinetic parameters were calculated for the electrochemical reduction of oxygen at a glassy-carbon electrode with the generation of superoxide radical anions in a 0.05 M solution of (C₂H₅)₄NI in dimethylformamide in the presence of fat-soluble antioxidants, retinol and -tocopherol. A procedure based on the protonation of the radical anion with antioxidant molecules is proposed for the voltammetric determination of antioxidants to determine milligram amounts of retinol and -tocopherol in model solutions (RSD = 1–2%). The calibration graphs for retinol and -tocopherol are linear in the concentration ranges 9.7 × 10^–5–2.3 × 10^–3 and 6.2 × 10^–4–3.1 × 10^–3 M, respectively. The detection limits for retinol and -tocopherol are 4.8 × 10^–5 and 4.1 × 10 ^–4 M, respectively. The procedure was applied to the determination of the active component (retinol and -tocopherol) in pharmaceuticals.Translated from Zhurnal Analiticheskoi Khimii, Vol. 60, No. 1, 2005, pp. 56–59.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Ziyatdinova, Gilmetdinova, Budnikov.     

Structure of the X-ray emission CuLα-line in YBa2Cu3O7−δ and CuO based on the SCFXα-SW calculation

Using the SCF X-SW method we have calculated the final states of the X-ray L-transition of the CuO ₄ ^–6 cluster modeling the nearest environment of the copper atom (one of two types) in YBa₂Cu₃O_7- and the nearest environment of copper in CuO. The energies of transitions forming the L-spectrum (with or without many-electron excitations) have been calculated. It has been shown that for interpretation of the main singularities of the X-ray emission L-spectrum, not only should the Coster-Kronig transitions be considered but also the shake-up excitation 2b_1g3b_1g processes and the multiple ionization satellites 3p^–1. An experimental schame has been suggested that allows separation of the effects of different many-electron processes on the L-spectrum.Institute of Inorganic Chemistry, Siberian Branch, Russian Academy of Sciences.

Extraction of Polonium from Aqueous α-Hydroxyisobutyric Acid Solutions Using Dioctyl Sulphide, Cyanex 272, Cyanex 301 or Cyanex 302 in Toluene

A study of the extraction of polonium from aqueous solutions containing -hydroxyisobutyric acid (-HIBA) was performed with four different extractants, di-n-octyl sulphide (DOS), Cyanex 272, Cyanex 301 and Cyanex 302, dissolved in toluene. The extracted complex for DOS at low -HIBA concentrations is most likely PoO(-HIB)₂·2DOS, while at higher -HIBA concentrations there seems to be a solvating effect implicating an extracted complex of the type PoO(-HIB)₂(-HIBA)₂·2DOS. For the extraction of polonium with Cyanex 272 the results are inconclusive. The extracted complex is either PoOA₂ or PoO(-HIB)₂·2HA. For extraction with Cyanex 301 or Cyanex 302 the major extracted species does not contain any -HIBA molecules. The neutral species in both cases is PoOA₂, extracted at low extractant concentrations, while at higher extractant concentrations a complex of the type PoOA₂·xHA is extracted. The extraction of polonium increases in the order Cyanex 272 < DOS < Cyanex 302 < Cyanex 301.     

Excess enthalpies of aqueous solutions of small peptides at 25°C

Heats of dilution of aqueous solutions of the following di-and tripeptides were determined at 25°C over a wide concentration range: -alanyl-glycine, -alanyl--alanine, DL--alanyl-glycine, glycyl-DL--alanine, L--alanyl-L-alanine, DL--alanyl-DL--alanine, DL--alanyl-DL-valine, DL--alanyl--alanine, glycyl--aminobutyric acid, glycyl-L-leucine and DL--alanyl-glycylglycine. The excess enthalpies H^ex and partial molar relative enthalpies L₂ were calculated and enthalpy coefficients of intermolecular interaction were analysed using the additivity principle of Savage and Wood. The concentration dependence of the enthalpic characteristics of peptide-peptide interactions is discussed based on of their hydrophobicity and hydrophilicity. The three-stage model of peptide association is described using enthalpic coefficients of intermolecular interactions.

Molekülordnung und Kristallinität in Polyhexamethylenadipamid

Zusammenfassung Kalorimetrische, röntgenographische und IR-spektroskopische Untersuchungen und Dichtemessungen ergaben für PA 66 eine bei anderen Polymeren unbekannte Anomalie. Die Abhängigkeit der Röntgenkristallinitätw _c und der kristallinitätsproportionalen Größen (experimentelle Schmelzwärme H ^*, IR-Bandenintensität) vom spezifischen Volumen ändert sich mit den Kiistallisationsbedingungen. Dies ist die Folge eines konformationsbedingten Übergangs zwichen zwei triklinen Modifikationen unterschiedlicher Dichte. Für aus der Schmelze, dem Glaszustand und verdünnter Lösung kristallisierte Proben treten bei allen drei Meßmethoden hinsichtlich der Abhängigkeit vom spezifischen Volumen drei Bereiche auf. Bereich I: Die Proben enthalten 1-Kristalle mit _c ^I =1,22 =1,22 gcm-³,H _M ^I =235 Jg^–1 und=1,095 gcm _u–3. Bereich II: Die Proben enthalten _II -Kristalle mit _cII=1,165 gcm^–3.H _M ^II =185 Jg _u ^–1 1 und pa =1,095 gcm^–3. Bereich III: Übergangsbereich, in dem sich das spezifische Volumen stärker ändert als we und H ^*, weil die Kristalldichte zwischen _c ^I und ell variiert.Die _c -Wertr wurden außer durch Extrapolation über dem spezifischen Volumen auch aus der Invarianten der Röntgenkleinwinkelstreuung bestimmt. In allen Fällen ist eine .röntgenographische Kristallinitätsbestimmung bei PA 66 willkürfrei und reproduzierbar möglich. Aus Dichte oder Schmelzwärme kannw _c unter Verwendung der ermittelten _c- und H_M-Werte nur bestimmt werden, falls die Proben den Bereichen I oder II angehören. Mit den üblichen Verarbeitungsmethoden erhält man jedoch meist Proben im Bereich III.

Summary From the results of calorimetric, X-ray and infrared spectroscopic investigations and density measurements an anomaly is found for polyamide 66 which is not known for other polymers. The dependence of X-ray crystallinityw _c and other properties proportional to crystallinity (experimental heat of fusion H ^*, intensity of IR-absorptions) on the specific volume varies with the conditions of crystallization. This is due to a conformational transition between two triclinic modifications with different densities.Samples of polyamide 66 were isothermally crystallized from the melt, from dilute solution and from the glassy state at different crystallization temperatures. The results of each of the three experimental methods, when plotted versus specific volume, exhibit three sections Section I: The samples contain _I -crystals with _c =1.22 gcm^–3, H _M ^I = 235 Jg^–1 and _a =1.095 gcm^–3 Section II: The samples contain air-crystals with _c ^I =1.165 gcm-3, H _M ^II =185 Jg^–1 and ppa =1.095 gcm^–s; Section III: Transition range, where the change in the specific volume is greater than that inw _c and H ^*, because the crystal density varies continuously between _c ^I and _c ^II The crystal densities have been determined not only by specific volume extrapolations, but also from the mean square electron density fluctuation of the small angle X-ray scattering. In all cases it is possible to determine the crystallinity of polyamide 66 from X-ray measurements in an unequivocal and reproducible way. The calculation of crystallinity from density or heat of fusion is only possible, if the samples belong to section I or II. The usual processing methods, however, produce samples which belong to section III.

Thermodynamics of Binding of α:-Cyclodextrin to Straight-Chain Alkyl Derivatives in Aqueous Solution

Apparent standard Gibbs energy, enthalpy, entropy, and heatcapacity data of the interactions of -cyclodextrin (CD) to some n-carboxylatesH(CH₂)_nCOO^- (n = 4–6), are determined by isothermal titration microcalorimetryat different temperatures in phosphate buffer, pH 9.0, assuming a 1 : 1 model indilute solution. Modelling of contributions of the thermodynamic properties of the solutionindicates that CD undergoes conformational change upon binding to homologousseries of n-carboxylates, n-alcohols, ,-alkane dicarboxylates and ,-alkane diols.     

Crystallochemical Aspect of Phase Formation in the γ-FeOOH-H2O-NaOH System

Phase transition of metastable -FeOOH into -FeOOH and its chemical transformation into -Fe₂O₃ upon hydrothermal treatment in 0-5 M NaOH solutions at 100-230°C were studied. The regions of formation of the above phases were specified. The probable composition of the crystallizing complexes formed in the solutions and the reactions occurring at their incorporation into various atomically smooth faces of -FeOOH and -Fe₂O₃ were considered.

Substitution of halogen atom in α-halonitro compounds of the aliphatic series

Ethyl -halo--nitropropionate and -butyrate were prepared by alkylating ammonium salts of ethyl bromo- and chloronitroacetates. The addition of alkyl acrylates to alkyl chloronitroacetates or their salts gives dialkyl -chloro--nitroglutarates. Sodium salts of ethyl -nitro--sulfo--hydroxypropionate and -butyrate were obtained by the sulfodehalogenation of ethyl -chloro--nitro--hydroxypropionate and -butyrate with sodium dithionite. Esters of -amino acid hydrochlorides were prepared by the reduction of alkyl -chloro--nitrocarboxylates. The hydrogenation of alkyl nitrosulfoacetates leads to the corresponding disodium salts of alkyl aminodisulfoacetates and piperazine-2,5-dione.For communication 5 seeIvz. Akad. Nauk SSSR, Ser.
