Thermodynamics of aqueous bile salt solutions: Heat capacity,enthalpy and entropy of dilution

Heat capacity data at various temperatures and enthalpies of dilution at 25°C are reported for aqueous bile salt solutions. The apparent molal heat contents _L have been combined with osmotic and activity coefficients to obtain the excess molal entropies. Measurements of some of these properties have also been carried out with the anionic detergent sodium dodecylsulfate so that the bile salt micellization process may be compared with that of a classical detergent. The observed data have been interpreted in terms of the hydrophobic association properties of bile salts in aqueous solution.     

Thermodynamics of sodium chloride solutions at high temperatures

Osmotic coefficients are reported from vapor-pressure-lowering measurements on sodium chloride solutions at concentrations from approximately 4m to saturation and at temperatures from 75° C to 300° C. In combination with previously reported measurements at lower concentrations, these results allow a correlation of free energies for the system NaCl–H₂O over a range of concentrations and temperatures that is unprecedented for any aqueous electrolyte. Activity coefficients and other thermodynamic quantities for both salt and water have been calculated for the complete range of concentrations and temperatures. Calculated heats of solution and standard partial molal entropies agree well with calorimetric determinations where comparison is possible. The excess partial molal entropy of the salt is informative concerning structural effects and their changes with temperature and concentration.Presented in part at the 160th National Meeting of the American Chemical Society, Chicago, Illinois, September 1970.     

EPR studies on some polyamine copper(II) complexes in various solvents

EPR studies have been carried out on a series of copper(IIcomplexes with the general formula CuL(NCS)_xY_2-x[L = N,N,N',N″,N″-pentamethyldiethylenetriamine (Me₅den); x = 1 or 2; and Y = ClO₄, NO₃ or B?₄], dissolved in different solvents. These studies have revealed that the symmetry around copper(II) in [Cu(Me₅den)(NCS)₂] and [Cu(Me₅,den)-NCS]NO₃ is not trigonal-bipyramidal as predicted by IR, conductivity and optical data. The 4s contribution to the ground state is found to influence the isotropic contact term and bond parameters. The hyperfine line-widths observed for the copper(II) ion in solutions of these complexes dissolved in pyridine at room temperature are explained using the theory of Wilson and Kivelson. The isotropic spin—rotational relaxation contribution to the residual line-width is found to be smaller for all the complexes when they are dissolved in pyridine.     

Chemical models of the hydrophobic interaction: Apparent molal volumes and heat capacities of three symmetrical bolaform electrolytes and their homologous monomers in aqueous solution at 25°C

The densities and volumetric specific heats of aqueous solutions of Bu₃NHBr, Pent₃NHCl, and three diazonium salts, HN?Oct₃?NHBr₂, HN?Dec₃?NHCl₂, and Bu₃N?Oct?NBu₃Br₂, have been measured at 25°C. From these data, the apparent molal volumes φ _v and apparent molal heat capacities φ _c have been calculated and are reported here. In the series of compounds chosen, the diazonium (higher homologs) can be regarded as dimers of the alkyl-substituted ammonium ions (lower homologs), and these systems are examined as chemical models for the hydrophobic interaction. With the three homologous pairs studied here, the chemical model predicts that the strong interaction (limitingly, chemical binding) of two hydrocarbon chains in water leads to a major decrease in both φ _v and φ _c of the interacting solutes, ca.?22 cm³-mole^?1 and ?200 J-^oK^?1-mole^?1. These predictions constitute limiting behavior — useful, but not sufficient, to explain the observed concentration dependence of φ _v and φ _c in aqueous solutions of the lower homologs Bu₃NHBr, Pent₃NHCl, and Bu₄NBr. An explanation for the concentration dependence of φ _c is suggested with reference to ultrasonic relaxation data.     

Thermal decomposition kinetics of polysilanes: Disilane,trisilane, and tetrasilane

The decomposition kinetics of disilane with added butadiene, trisilane both neat and with added butadiene, trimethylsilane or H₂, and normal and iso-tetrasilane both neat and in the presence of added butadiene are reported. Arrhenius parameters of the primary dissociation reactions are determined: A-factors suggest that polysilane decompositions (1) have similar intrinsic activation entropies (ΔS? ≈? 6.2 ± 5 e.u.) and (2) have activation energies which increase with increasing reaction endothermicities. Relative trapping efficiencies of SiH₄, Si₂H₆, Si₃H₈, C₄H₆, Me₃SiH, and H₂ toward SiH₂ and SiH₃SiH are also determined. Other results include the heat of formation of silylsilylene, ΔH ${}_{\text{°}}^{\text{f}}$ (SiH₃SiH) = 75.3 Kcal/mol, and the activation energy for 1,1-H₂ elimination from disilane (EH₂ = 57.8 kcal/mol).     

Solution of hydrogen in palladium/copper alloys

The solution of hydrogen in $\text{Pd}\text{Cu}$ fcc substitutional alloys has been examined in the region of low hydrogen contents. Relative partial molar enthalpies of absorption at infinite dilution are found to be somewhat less exothermic for the alloys than for palladium but the change with X_Cu is small. Partial excess entropies of absorption decrease with X_Cu but not as markedly as for the other Pd/group IB alloys. Relative electrical resistance relationships for $\text{Pd}\text{Cu}$ alloys have been determined as a function of their hydrogen contents. Interstitial hydrogen increases the relative electrical resistance to a lesser extent with increase of X_Cu, but the absolute increase of resistance is nearly invariant with X_Cu.     

EPR studies on some copper(II) complexes of 1,4,7,10-tetra-azadecane and its hexamethyl derivative

EPR studies have been carried out on solutions of the complexes [Cu(trien)NCS](NO₃), [Cu(trien)I]I, [Cu(Me₆trien)NCS]B?₄ and [Cu(Me₆trien)](ClO₄)₂, (trien = 1,4,7,10-tetraazadecane; Me₆trien = hexamethyl trien) in different solvents to investigate the solute-solvent interactions. From calculations of the 4s contribution in the ground state and bond parameters it is found that the axial bond in [Cu(trien)NCS](NO₃) dissolved in pyridine is weaker than that in the other complexes dissolved in different solvents. For the two methylated complexes, in spite of the +I effect of the methyl group, the in-plane copper-nitrogen bonds are found to be weak, which is probably due to the changes in structure caused by methylation.     

Osmotic and activity coefficients of monomethyl-, dimethyl-, and trimethylammonium chlorides at 25°C

The osmotic and activity coefficients of monomethyl-, dimethyl-, and trimethylammonium chlorides in aqueous solution have been determined at 25°C by the gravimetric isopiestic method. The measurements extend from 0.1 molal (m) to 20, 17, and 15 mol-kg^–1, respectively, for the three salts. In the region below 2m, the osmotic coefficients decrease in the order NH₄Cl>MeH₃NCl>Me₂H₂NCl>Me₃HNCl>Me₄NCl, and above 3m the order is reversed. The intermediate members of the series have identical osmotic coefficients at the crossover molality of 3.0. It is suggested that the behavior at low molalities reflects primarily ion-dipole interactions, decreasing as the cation size increases, whereas hydrophobic (structure-making) interactions, increasing in importance with the number of non-polar methyl substituents, are predominant in concentrated solutions of these salts.     

Adsorption phenomena on a mercury electrode in aqueous cryptand[2.2.2] solutions by the background of tetraalkylammonium salts

The electrochemical behavior of cryptand[2.2.2] (Cry) is studied on a mercury electrode in aqueous solutions of tetraalkylammonium tetrafluoroborates (Me₄N⁺, Et₄N⁺, and Bu₄N⁺). Cryptand [2.2.2] is shown to exhibit high surface activity in Me₄ NBF₄ nd Et₄NBF₄ solutions. Based on the model of two parallel capacitors supplemented by the Frumkin adsorption isotherm, the adsorption parameters of Cry by the background of Me₄BNF₄ were calculated using the regression analysis methods. The calculated dependences of the differential capacitance on the potential adequately agree with experimental curves. The adsorption characteristics of Cry in the studied solutions are compared with those in MgSO₄ solutions. By the background of Bu₄NBF₄, Cry molecules and Bu₄N⁺ cations exhibit very close surface activity and form a mixed adsorption layer.     

Thermodynamic properties of transition metals in aqueous solution: 3. The heats of mixing aqueous solutions of CdCl2, NiCl2 and ZnCl2 with NaCl at varying ionic strength at 25°C

The heat of dilution of aqueous solutions of ZnCl₂ and the heats of mixing H _m of aqueous solutions of CdCl₂, NiCl₂, and ZnCl₂ with NaCl solutions were measured at 25°C. The heats of mixing were made at constant ionic strengths of 0.5, 1.0, and 3.0 molal. The excess enthalpy equations of Pitzer were then fitted to the resulting heats of dilution and heats of mixing data. The resulting parameters are the temperature derivatives of the activity coefficient mixing parameters in the Pitzer system.     

Excess entropy and thermal behavior of Cu- and Ti-doped bioactive glasses

Bioactive glasses belong to the ceramic family. They are good materials for implantation due to their excellent capacities to create an intimate bond with bones. Copper is known for its anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antifungal properties. Titanium is biocompatible and resistant to corrosion. These chemical elements can be introduced in bioactive glasses to provide a wide variety of uses and to enhance the physiological properties of implanted biomaterials. In this work, bioactive glasses doped with different contents of copper and titanium were synthesized by the melting method. The purpose is to study the effect of doping metal element on the thermal characteristics (T _g, T _c, and T _f). The results revealed that the increase of the content of copper and titanium in the glass matrix decreases the melting temperature and induces an increase of the thermal stability. The excess entropies of pure and doped glasses were calculated. Obtained results highlighted the decrease of the excess entropy with the increase of metal elements contents.     

Heat capacity and thermodynamic functions of theRFe2 compounds (R =Gd,Tb, Dy,Ho, Er,Tm, Lu) over the temperature region 8 to 300 K

Experimental heat capacity data for the Laves phaseRFe₂ intermetallic compounds (R =Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, and Lu) have been determined over the temperature range 8 to 300 K. The error in these data is thought to be less than 1%. Smoothed heat capacity values and the thermodynamic functions, (H°_T ? H°₀) and S°_T, are reported throughout the temperature range for theRFe₂ series. In addition, (G°₂₉₈ ? H°₀) at 298 K is reported for all theRFe₂ compounds. These data were analyzed and it was shown that the maxima in the thermodynamic functions near HoFe₂ are due to the magnetic contribution of the lanthanide element. The lattice contribution to the entropy at 300 K was estimated, and from this quantity the Debye temperature was calculated to be about 300 K, which is in good agreement with the low-temperature heat capacity. Furthermore, this analysis indicates that the apparent electronic specific heat constants, γ′, for TbFe₂, DyFe₂, and HoFe₂, reported earlier, are in error.     

Triplet Emitting C^N^C Cyclometalated Dibenzo[c,h]Acridine Pt(II) Complexes

In a series of Pt(II) complexes [Pt(dba)(L)] containing the very rigid, dianionic, bis-cyclometalating, tridentate C^N^C²⁻ heterocyclic ligand dba^2– (H₂dba = dibenzo[c,h]acridine), the coligand (ancillary ligand) L = dmso, PPh₃, CNtBu and Me₂Imd (N,N’-dimethylimidazolydene) was varied in order to improve its luminescence properties. Beginning with the previously reported dmso complex, we synthesized the PPh₃, CNtBu and Me₂Imd derivatives and characterized them by elemental analysis, ¹H (and ³¹P) NMR spectroscopy and MS. Cyclic voltammetry showed partially reversible reduction waves ranging between −1.89 and −2.10 V and increasing along the series Me₂Imd < dmso ≈ PPh₃ < CNtBu. With irreversible oxidation waves ranging between 0.55 (L = Me₂Imd) and 1.00 V (dmso), the electrochemical gaps range between 2.65 and 2.91 eV while increasing along the series Me₂Imd < CNtBu < PPh₃ < dmso. All four complexes show in part vibrationally structured long-wavelength absorption bands peaking at around 530 nm. TD-DFT calculated spectra agree quite well with the experimental spectra, with only a slight redshift. The photoluminescence spectra of all four compounds are very similar. In fluid solution at 298 K, they show broad, only partially structured bands, with maxima at around 590 nm, while in frozen glassy matrices at 77 K, slightly blue-shifted (~580 nm) bands with clear vibronic progressions were found. The photoluminescence quantum yields Φ_L ranged between 0.04 and 0.24, at 298 K, and between 0.80 and 0.90 at 77 K. The lifetimes τ at 298 K ranged between 60 and 14040 ns in Ar-purged solutions and increased from 17 to 43 µs at 77 K. The TD-DFT calculated emission spectra are in excellent agreement with the experimental findings. In terms of high Φ_L and long τ, the dmso and PPh₃ complexes outperform the CNtBu and Me₂Imd derivatives. This is remarkable in view of the higher ligand strength of Me₂Imd, compared with all other coligands, as concluded from the electrochemical data.     

Thermodynamics of Selected Aqueous Rare-Earth Elements Containing Triflate Salts at T=(288.15, 298.15, 313.15 and 328.15) K and p=0.1 MPa

Aqueous acidified solutions of the rare-earth-element (REE) triflates (Gd(CF₃SO₃)_3(aq), Dy(CF₃SO₃)_3(aq), Nd(CF₃SO₃)_3(aq), Er(CF₃SO₃)_3(aq), Yb(CF₃SO₃)_3(aq) and Y(CF₃SO₃)_3(aq)) have been prepared by the dissolution of the corresponding REE oxides in dilute aqueous trifluoromethanesulfonic acid (triflic acid, CF₃SO₃H_(aq)). Relative densities and relative massic heat capacities have been measured for these systems over the approximate ionic strength range 0.10≤I/(mol?kg^?1)≤1.35 at T=(288.15, 298.15, 313.15 and 328.15) K and p=0.1 MPa. These measurements were completed using a Sodev O2D vibrating tube densimeter and Picker-flow microcalorimeter, respectively. Relative densities and relative massic heat capacities for aqueous solutions of triflic acid and its sodium salt have also been measured over the concentration range 0.018≤m ₂/(mol?kg^?1)≤0.23 over the same temperature range at p=0.1 MPa. Young’s rule has been used to calculate apparent molar volumes and apparent molar heat capacities of the aqueous solutions of REE triflate salts from the calculated apparent molar properties of the acidified salt solutions. These properties have been modeled using the Pitzer ion-interaction equations. The apparent molar properties of aqueous triflic acid solutions and aqueous solutions of its sodium salt have also been modeled using the same Pitzer ion-interaction equations. The apparent molar properties at infinite dilution obtained from our property modeling have been used to calculate single ion volumes and single ion heat capacities for each of the aqueous ions; Gd _(aq) ³⁺ , Dy _(aq) ³⁺ , Nd _(aq) ³⁺ , Er _(aq) ³⁺ , Yb _(aq) ³⁺ , and Y _(aq) ³⁺ . The reported single ion values have been compared with those previously reported in the literature.     

Thermodynamic study of solid solutions in the SnTe–AgSbTe<Subscript>2</Subscript> system by means of EMF with solid electrolyte Ag<Subscript>4</Subscript>RbI<Subscript>5</Subscript>

The results from studying the SnTe–AgSbTe₂ system by means of EMF with the solid electrolyte Ag₄RbI₅ in the temperature range of 300–430 K are presented. The formation of a wide (≥80 mol % of AgSbTe₂) region of solid solutions based on SnTe is confirmed. Partial thermodynamic functions ΔG?, ΔH?, and ΔS? of silver in alloys are calculated from the equations for the EMF temperature dependences. Based on the literature data regarding solid-phase equilibria in the Ag₂Te–SnTe–Sb₂Te₃–Te system, potential-determining reactions are identified that allow us to calculate the standard thermodynamic formation functions and standard entropies of solid solutions (2SnTe) _x (AgSbTe₂)_1?x (х = 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, and 0.9).     

Electrochemical studies of group III alkyl derivatives: II. Synthesis of adducts of trimethylindium and trimethylgallium

Electrolysis of methylmagnesium chloride or dimethylmagnesium in tetrahydrofuran (thf) with an indium anode yields the spectroscopically characterised adduct Me₃In · thf directly; the adducts Me₃In · L (L = NEt₃, PMe₃, PEt₃) are obtained by direct addition of excess L to Me₃In · thf.     

Thermodynamics of bolaform electrolytes. IV. Enthalpies and partial molal heat capacities in H2O,D2O,and dimethylsulfoxide

The partial molal heats of solution ΔH _s ^o and the partial molal heat capacities of solution ΔC _p ^o of the bolaform salts [Et₃N(CH₂)_nNEt₃]Br₂ and [allyl₃N(CH₂)_nNallyl₃]Br₂ have been obtained at infinite dilution in dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO). A comparison of these data with the results of previous thermodynamic studies of the same solutes in aqueous solvents has been carried out. The observed differences have been interpreted in terms of solute-induced solvent structural effects occurring in aqueous solvent media. Partial molal heat capacities of the bolaform salts at infinite dilution in DMSO, H₂O, and D₂O have been calculated from ΔC _p ^o data and previously reported values of the heat capacities of the crystalline state. The data clearly show that the structure-promoting capabilities of these salts in aqueous solvents increase with increasing hydrocarbon content. A comparison of contributions to partial molal heat capacities of methylene groups in the bolaform and R₄N⁺ series of salts reveals that similarities exist between the solvation effects of CH₂ groups in the normal alkyl chain of the R₄N⁺ cations and in the bridging alkyl chain of the bolaform cation.     

Synthese neuer Aminofluorsilane,sowie Alkoxylierung von Bis (trimethylsilyl)-amino-fluorsilanen

The reaction of aminofluorsilanes of the type (R=H,F) (Me ₃Si)₂N?SiF₂R with two moles of ammonia, or of a mono- or dialkylamine, yields the corresponding amino-compounds, e.g. (Me ₃Si)₂N?Si(F)R?NH₂, (Me ₃Si)₂N?Si(F)R?NHR′ and (Me ₃Si)₂N?Si(F)R?NR₂′ (R′=Me, Et). Analogous products are obtained by reaction of the aminofluorosilanes with lithium salts of amines with bulky organic substituents in a 1 : 1 molar ratio. Alkoxy- and aryloxyaminofluorosilanes are prepared by the reaction of sodium alcoholates and sodium phenolate with (Me ₃Si)₂N?Si(F₂)R (R=H, C₂H₃, C₂H₅, C₆H₅). The i.r.-, mass-,¹H- and¹⁹F-NMR spectra of the above compounds are reported.     

Heat capacity and density of solutions of lithium and sodium nitrates in N-methylpyrrolidone at 298.15 K

The heat capacity and density of solutions of lithium and sodium nitrates in N-methylpyrrolidone (MP) at 298.15 K are studied by calorimetry and densimetry. The standard partial molar heat capacities and volumes (C? _p,2° and V? ₂°) of LiNO₃ and NaNO₃ in MP are calculated. The standard heat capacities C? _p,i ° and volumes V? _i ° of Li⁺ and Na⁺ ions in MP at 298.15 K are determined on the basis of a proposed scale of ionic contributions of C? _p,2° and V? ₂° values. The obtained data are discussed in relation to certain features of solvation in solutions of the investigated salts.     

Molecular interactions in β-alanine-water-methanol solutions at 308.15 K on volumetric, viscometeric, and acoustic data

The density, viscosity and ultrasonic velocity for β-alanine solutions in aqueous and aqueous methanol medium at different concentrations has been determined at 308.15 K. The experimentally obtained data were used to evaluate the apparent molal volume and apparent molal adiabatic compressibility. The related thermodynamic parameters like partial molal volume as well as partial molal adiabatic compressibility at infinite dilution along with their corresponding constants S _v and S _k , respectively, give an insight to the nature of molecular interactions. The viscosity coefficient has also been calculated using Jones-Dole equation.
