The Pyrolysis of Azides in the Gas Phase

The chemistry of the non-metallic elements has in recent years passed through a period of rapid development, often referred to as its “renaissance”. To emphasize just one of the key facets: numerous short-lived molecules containing multiple bonds to elements of the third and higher periods have been discovered, often accompanied by the planned synthesis of derivatives which are sterically shielded by bulky groups and thus kinetically stabilized. Thus today molecules such as silabenzenes H₆C_6?nSi_n and silaethenes H₂Si?CH₂ or R₂Si?CR₂, disilenes R₂Si?SiR₂ and diphosphenes RP?PR, silaphenylisonitrile H₅C₆? N?Si, or methylidyne-phosphanes R? C?P, are all well-known species. Sandwich compounds with P₆ rings or silicon centers demonstrate that there are now hardly any barriers to impede the imagination of the non-metal chemist. In sharp contrast is our lack of knowledge regarding the “microscopic” pathways of chemical reactions: thus apart from information provided for example by molecular beam experiments, or from exact numerical calculations involving species consisting of only a few atoms, it remains largely unknown from which directions medium-sized molecules must approach each other to successfully collide and form a “reaction complex”, in which way their structures are changed in such a process or which role is played by molecular dynamics in the energy transfer.–The pyrolysis of azides X? N₃, i.e. compounds which tend to explode violently when ignited in the condensed phase but can be heated in low-pressure gas flow systems without much risk, illustrates that studies of reactive intermediates are of interest not only because novel molecules may be discovered and isolated, and thereby possibilities for synthesis expanded. Moreover, some aspects of the “microscopic” pathways of these azide pyrolyses can be described satisfactorily on the basis of calculated energy hypersurfaces, and the influence of molecular dynamics becomes experimentally visible in the “chemical activation” of intermediates which leads to their “thermal explosion”.     

Isothermal Phase Equilibria Through Gas Chromatography for Petrochemical Processing

Abstract

A gas chromatographic technique has been used to measure the isothermal phase equilibria likely to be of importance in petrochemical processing. The measurements on the binary mixtures formed by chlorobenzene with some aromatic hydrocarbons (toluene, o-xylene, p-xylene) and aliphatic alcohols (ethanol, 1-propanol, 1-butanol) are given in this paper. Our measurements on chlorobenzene + 1-propanol mixtures are in good agreement with the literature data.     

Computer Simulation of the Kinetics of Complicated Gas Phase Reactions

Modern digital methods and powerful computers make it possible to simulate the time behavior of chemical reactions. These calculations can be performed on systems containing an almost unlimited number of elementary reactions. Generally, however, the reaction models used should contain only those elementary reactions which describe the bulk of the conversion. Such a reaction model may be obtained by reduction of the complete set of elementary reactions. Another possibility is analysis of the chemical system starting from conditions ensuring a simple chemistry, which is generally the case at low temperatures and low conversions. The reaction model may then be extended into the range of the reaction variables (temperature, time) of interest. Mathematical simulations may be helpful during the development of the reaction model, and sometimes even decisive. These methods were applied to the pyrolysis of ethylbenzene and n-hexane, and to CO oxidation. They yield information on the reaction paths, the importance of particular elementary reactions, and reaction stability. Furthermore, quantitative data can be obtained concerning the influence of single elementary reactions on the product distribution. The sensitivity matrix shows, e.g., whether the determination of kinetic parameters of an elementary reaction from kinetic data of the overall reaction is possible in principle, and how high the accuracy of the rate constants should be for simulation of the reaction. Both results are important for modeling chemical reactions.

Soot Formation in the Isothermal Pyrolysis of a Mixture of Acetylene with Diacetylene

Soot formation from acetylene–diacetylene mixtures was experimentally studied under isothermal conditions. It was found that new soot particles were formed only from diacetylene, whereas acetylene was consumed only in particle growth. Thus, diacetylene exhibited a higher activity in the formation of new soot particles, as compared with acetylene, which is a soot-forming agent in mixtures with other hydrocarbons.     

DFT Calculations and NBO Analysis of 2-Chloroethylethyldichlorosilane Unimolecular Elimination Kinetics in the Gas Phase

Ab initio molecular orbital calculations have been used to investigate the thermal decomposition kinetics of 2-chloroethylethyldichlorosilane at the B3LYP/6-311+G**,B3PW91/6-311+G**,and MPW1PW91/6-311+G** levels of theory.Among these methods,the results(activation parameters) obtained using the B3LYP/6-311+G** level are in good agreement with the available experimental data.The calculated data imply that in the unimolecular β-elimination reactions of the studied compound in the gas phase,the polarization of C(1)-Cl(3) and C(1)-H(4) bonds in the sense of C(1)δ+-Cl(3)δ-and C(1)δ+-H(4)δ-,respectively,is a determining factor in the gas phase elimination reactions 1,2 and 3.Analysis of bond order,natural bond orbital charges,bond indexes,synchro-nicity parameters,and IRC calculations suggest the elimination of 2-chloroethylethyldichlorosilane via reactions 1～3 can be described as concerted and slightly asynchronous.The transition state structures of these reactions are a four-membered cyclic structure.     

Pyrolysis Analysis and Kinetics of Crude Oils

This research presents the results of an experimental study on the determination of pyrolysis behaviour and kinetics of six crude oils by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetry (TG/DTG). Crude oil pyrolysis indicated two main temperature ranges where loss of mass was observed. The first region between ambient to 400°C was distillation. The second region between 400 and 600°C was visbreaking and thermal cracking. Arrhenius-type kinetic model is used to determine the kinetic parameters of crude oils studied. It was observed that as crude oils gets heavier (°API decreases) cracking activation energy increases. Activation energy of cracking also show a general trend with asphaltene content.

Non-Isothermal Pyrolysis and Kinetics of Oil Shales

In this research, non-isothermal pyrolysis behavior and kinetics of three oil shales were studied by thermal analysis methods. All the thermal effects were endothermic and no exothermic region was observed in DSC curves. When oil shales are heated in nitrogen atmosphere in TG/DTG, two different mechanisms causing loss of mass were observed. The region between ambient temperature and 500 K was distillation. The second mechanism was visbreaking and cracking and it was observed between the region 500 and 800 K. Kinetic parameters of all the samples are determined by Coats and Redfern method and the results are discussed with regard to their accuracy and the ease of interpretation. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.
