Kinetics and Mechanism of Oxidation of Lactic Acid by Dihydroxyditelluratoargentate（Ⅲ）in Alkaline Medium

The kinetics of the oxidation of lactic acid(Lac) by dihydroxyditelluratoargentate(Ⅲ）[abbreviated as DDA of Ag(Ⅲ）]anions was studied in an aqueous alkaline medium by conventional spectrophotometry in a temperature range of 25-40℃.The order of the redox reaction of lactic acid and DDA was found to be first-order.The rates increased with the increase in [OH^-]and decreased with the increase in [tellurate].No free radical was detected.In the view of this the dihydroxymonotelluratoargentate(Ⅲ）species(DMA) is assumed to be the active species.A plausible mechanism involving a two-electron transfer is proposed,and the rate equation derived from the mechanism can be used to explain all the experimenttal results.The activation parameters(25℃）and the rate constants of the rate-determining step along with the preequilibrium constants at different temperatures were evaluated.

The kinetics of oxidation of thiocarbohydrazide in the free and zinc(Ⅱ)-bound states byacid bromate have been studied in aqueous and water-acetic acid(1:1,V/V)media under varyingconditions,both in the absence and presence of added bromide ion.The rates of oxidations show firstorder kinetics in[bromate]in all the cases,but exhibit different kinetic behaviour in[substrate]and[H~+].Oxidation of TCH in aqueous medium shows zero order in[TCH]and nearly second order in[H~+],while oxidation in aqueous acetic acid shows two ranges in[H~+].The rate shows first and fractionalorder kinetics in[TCH]in the first and second acid ranges.Kinetics observed in the presence of Br~-are similar to those observed for oxidation of TCH in second acid range.In addition,the reactionshows fractional order in[Br~-].Oxidation of TCH in Zn(Ⅱ)-bound state exhibits first order kinetics in[substrate]and second order in[H~+].Increase in ionic strength of the medium decreases the rate in allthe cases.Increase in acetic acid composition of the solvent increases the rate.Mechanisms consistentwith the observed results have been considered and the rate laws deduced.The rate limiting steps havebeen identified and the coefficients of these steps have been calculated at different temperatures.Therelated activation parameters have also been computed.The validity of the deduced rate laws has alsobeen tested by recalculating the rate constants from them as[TCH]and[H~+]are varied.     

Kinetics and Mechanism of Oxidation of Glycol by Dihydroxydiperiodatonickelate ( Ⅳ )Complex in Aqueous Alkaline Medium

The kinetics of oxidation of glycol by dihydroxydiperiodato nickelate ( Ⅳ) complex (DDN) was studied by spectrophotometry in aqueous alkaline medium in a temperature range of 25-40℃. The reaction was found to be first order with respect to Ni( Ⅳ ) and also to be first order with respect to glycol. The rate increases with the increase in [OH ] and decreases with the increase in [IO-4], showing that dihydroxymonoperiodatonickelate ( Ⅳ )(DMN) is the reactive species of oxidant. Salt effect indicated that the reaction is of ion-dipole type. No free radical was detected. A mechanism of an inner-sphere two-electron transfer reaction involving a preequilibrium between DDN and DMN is proposed, and the rate equation derived from the mechanism can explain all experimental observations. Activation parameters of the rate-determing step and the equilibrium constants were calculated.

Kinetics and Mechanism of Iridium（Ⅲ）-Catalyzed Oxidation of Ethanol Amine by Cerium（ Ⅳ ） in Sulfuric Acid Media

In this study, the kinetics and mechanism of the iridium(Ⅲ)-catalyzed oxidation of ethanol amine(EAN) by cerium(Ⅳ) in a sulfuric acid medium was investigated using titrimetric technique of redox in a temperature range of 298—313 K. It was found that the reaction is of first order with respect to Ce(Ⅳ) and Ir(Ⅲ), and a positive fractional order with respect to EAN. It was also found that the pseudo-first-order([EAN][Ce(Ⅳ)]) rate constant kobs decreases with the increase of [H ] and [HSO-4]. Under the protection of nitrogen gas, the reaction system can initiate the polymerization of acrylonitrile, indicating the generation of free radicals. On the basis of the experimental results, a suitable mechanism was proposed. From the dependence of kobs on the concentration of hydrogen sulfate, Ce(SO4)2 was found to be the kinetically active species. The rate constants of the rate-determining step together with the activation parameters were evaluated.

A Study on Thermal Decomposition of K_3[Fe(CN)_6] and KFe[Fe(CN)_6] in Helium

K3 [Fe(CN)6] and KFe[Fe(CN)6] are classical coordination compounds. However, the mechanism of decomposition reactions has not been well expounded. The gas products of thermal decomposition were examined by gas chroma tography (GC) , and the structure of the solid products by Mossbauer spectroscopy(MS) and X-ray diffraction(XRD).

An Integrated Theory of Adsorption and Partition Mechanism and Eash Contribution to Solute Retention in Reversed Phase Liquid Chromatography

With the combination of the the stoichiometric displacement model for retention (SDM-R) in reversed phase liquid chromatography (RPLC) and the stoichiometric displacement model for adsorption (SDM-A) in physical chemistry,the total number of moles of the re-solvated methanol of stationary phase side.nr,and that of solute side in the mobile phase,q,corresponding the one mole of the desorbing solute,were separately determined and referred as the characterization parameters of the contributions of the adsorption mechanism and partition mechanism to the solute retention,respectively.A chromatographic system of insulin,using mobile phase consisting of the pseudo-homologue of alcohols(methanol,ethanol and 2-propanol)-water and trifluoroacetic acid was employed.The maximum number of the methanol layers on the stationary phase surface was found to be 10.6,only 3 of which being valid in usual RPLC,traditionally referred as a volume process in partition mechanism.However,it still follows the SDM-R.Both of q and nr of insulin were found not to be zero,indicating that the retention mechanism of insulin is a mixed mode of partition mechanism and adsorption mechanism.When methanol is used as the organic modifier,the ratio of q/nr was 1.13,indicating the contribution to insulin retention due to partition mechanism being a bit greater than that due to adsorption mechanism.A linear relationship between q,or nr and the carbon number of the pseudo-homologue in the mobile phase was also found.As a methodology for investigating the retention mechanism retention and behavior of biopolymers.a homologue of organic solvents as the organic modifier in mobile phase has also been explored.

The recombination of nitrogen atoms on polycrystalline samples of cobalt and nickel produces metastable electronically excited nitrogen molecules, probably N₂(W³Δ_u), which are collisionally transferred to the N₂(B³Πg) state. Information about vibrational relaxation of the metastable state by N₂(X¹Σ⁺_g) is inferred from composition dependent changes in the observed first positive emission spectrum [N₂9A³Σ⁺_g)−N₂(B³Π_g] with the aid of multilevel, steady-state, kinetic model.     

Theoretical and experimental studies of radiative lifetimes of excited electronic states in CO

The electronic dipole transition moment functions of the A ²Π-X ²Σ⁺, B ²Σ⁺-X ²Σ⁺ and B ²Σ⁺-A ²Π transitions and the dipole moment function of the X ²Σ⁺ state of CO⁺ have been calculated using large contracted CI wavefunctions. The computed transition moment functions together with experimental potential energy curves were used to obtain radiative lifetimes of the excited electronic states B ²Σ⁺ and A ²Π. Radiative lifetimes of vibrational levels of the X ²Σ⁺ state were derived from the calculated dipole moment function. The high-frequency deflection technique was used to obtain radiative lifetimes of the ν′ = 0, 1,2 and 3 vibrational levels of the B ²Σ⁺ state and also radiative lifetimes of individual rotational levels of ν′ =0. The calculated radiative lifetimes are shorter than the measured ones by about 10%. The experimental ν′ dependence is reproduced by theoretical calculation. The calculated radiative lifetimes for the A ²Π state are in excellent agreement with lifetimes measured with an ion trap technique.

Size Dependence of Electronic Excitation Energy in Linear C2nH and C2n－1N

The geometries, bondings, and vibrational frequencies of C2nH (n = 3—9) and C2n-1N(n= 3—9) were in-vestigated by means of density functional theory (DFT). The vertical excitation energies for the X^2Ⅱ→^2Ⅱ transitions of C2nH(n= 3—9) and for the X2∑→^2Ⅱ and the X^2Ⅱ→^2Ⅱ transitions of C2n-1N (n= 3—9) have been calculated by the time-dependent density functional theory(TD-DFT) approach. On the basis of present calculations, the explicit expression for the wavelengths of the excitation energies in linear carbon chains is suggested, namely, λ0 = [1240. 6A/(2 √-3n 6 - √-3n 3）] (1 — Be^Cn), where A = 3. 24463, B =0. 90742, and C=0. 07862 for C2nH, and A=2. 94714, B=0. 83929, and C=0. 08539 for C2n-1N. In consid-eration of a comparison of the theory with the experiment, both the expressions are modified as λ1 = 0. 92 (λ0 100) and λ1 =0. 95(λ0-90) for C2nH and C2n-1N, respectively.     

Matrixreaktionen von AlF und AlCl mit o-atomen: IR-spektren von OAlF und OAlCl

It is possible to synthesize OAlF and OAlCl in an argon matrix by co-condensation of AlF and AlCl with oxygen atoms. The stretching vibrations of these compounds are found at 1148 and 740 cm⁻¹ (¹⁶OAlF), respectively 1094 and 490.5 cm⁻¹ (¹⁶OAlCl). As ¹⁶O/¹⁸O isotopic splitting of all frequencies can be observed, an exact calculation of the force constants f(AlF), f(AlO) and f(AlCl) is possible. The force constant f(AlO) is 6.6 [10² Nm⁻¹] for both compounds. This is the first time, that structural data of molecules, containing aluminium with the formal charge 3+ with an AlO bond, have been obtained.     

The effect of reagent translational energy in the reaction O(D2) + H2 → OH(Π) + H

Quasiclassical trajectory calculations have been performed to determine the effect of reactant collision energy on product state distributions in the reaction O(¹D) + H₂ → OH(²Π) + H. The product vibrational distribution becomes more excited as the collision energy is increased. This is not due to an increase in the cross section for collinear abstraction. A detailed analysis has shown that strong O---H₂ repulsion, which occurs during the insertion of the O into the H---H bond, converts the kinetic energy of the reacting system to vibrational motion of the intermediate.
