Thermal studies on dithionate compounds

TG and DTG studies have been carried out on CoS₂O₆ · 6H₂O, NiS₂O₆ · 6 H₂O, CuS₂O₆ · 3.5 H₂O, ZnS₂O₆ · 6 H₂O and CdS₂O₆ · 4H₂O. After partial dehydration, the dithionates of Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) lose water and sulfur dioxide simultaneously to yield the stable metal sulfates in the final step of decomposition. The CdS₂O₆ · 4H₂O dehydrates completely in the first two steps of decomposition with two water molecules being lost in each step. In the third step, it loses only SO₂ to yield CdSO₄. Kinetic parameters are presented for these reactions.

Reactions between ammonium sulphate and metal oxides (metal=Cr,Mn and Fe) and thermal decomposition of the products

The reactions between ammonium sulphate and three metal oxides (Cr₂O₃, MnO₂ and Fe₂O₃) were studied. It was confirmed by X-ray diffraction and chemical analysis that stable reaction intermediates were formed consecutively in the course of the reactions.These were (NH₄)₃M(SO₄)₃ and NH₄M(SO₄)₂ for Cr₂O₃ and Fe₂O₃ and (NH₄)₂Mn₂(SO₄)₃ for MnO₂. The thermal decompositions of these intermediates and of the metal sulphates were carried out. The contracting-volume equation was valid for the decomposition of all the intermediates. The Arrhenius parameters were determined.

Methodical aspects in thermal analysis of liquid crystalline substances

On the basis of experience in liquid crystal research, the optimum conditions are presented for the use of thermo-microscopy and microcalorimetry (DSC) in preliminary investigations of the general chemical, thermodynamic and kinetic behaviour. In the second step, special measurements are necessary to obtain exact results on purities, phase types, temperatures, enthalpies, and kinetic parameters of transitions in stable and metastable states.

Cluster and ligand effects in CO adsorption on high dispersity supported Ni?Cu alloys

IR spectroscopic studies of CO chemisorption on SiO₂-supported Ni and Ni–Cu microcrystals have revealed that the alloy composition affects the intensity and frequency of absorption bands of the linear form of chemisorbed CO. Chemisorbed hydrogen is shown to shift its absorption band to the high-frequency region on pure Ni and low-copper Ni–Cu alloys and does not affect it on high-copper ones. The presence of Cu in the alloy increases significantly the reactivity of chemisorbed oxygen in the reaction with CO. The results are treated in terms of the concepts of cluster and ligand effects.

The measurement of heats of mixing of polymer alloys by a heat of solution method

Direct measurement of the heat of mixing (interaction) of polymers is not feasible due to their high viscosity. The indirect approach described here is a heat of solution method, in which a Hess's Law cycle is used to determine the heat of mixing from the individual heats of solution of the alloy and its constituent polymers in a common solvent. The main limitation of this approach lies in obtaining adequate precision on the experimentally determined heats of solution, as these are large compared to the calculated heat of mixing.With this method the heat of mixing of a 75/25 (%by wt) poly(dimethyl) phenylene oxide/polystyrene alloy has been determined by Setaram C-80 microcalorimeter as 4.9 + 0.2 Jg^–1. The precision of the method shows an improvement compared with published data.

Zusammenfassung Die direkte Messung der Mischungswärme (Wechselwirkungswärme) von Polymeren ist wegen ihrer hohen Viskosität nicht möglich. Die hier beschriebene indirekte Vorgehensweise beruht auf der Lösungswärme, wobei ein Hess'scher Kreisprozess verwendet wird, um aus den einzelnen Lösungswärmen der Mischung und der sie aufbauenden individuellen Komponenten im gleichen Lösungsmittel die Mischungswärme zu bestimmen. Die entscheidende methodische Grenze ist die notwendige Genauigkeit bei der Bestimmung der Lösungswärmen, da diese gross gegenüber der berechneten Mischurigswärme sind.Mit dieser Methode wurden die Mischungswärme einer Mischung aus 75% Poly(dimethylphenylenoxid) und 25% Polystyren in einem Mikrokalorimeter Setaram C 80 zu 4.9 +- 0.2 J g^–1 bestimmt. Verglichen mit veröffentlichten Daten ist die Methode genauer.

Inter-ring η6⇌η5 haptotropic rearrangements of 18ē and 19ē (η5-pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)(η6-9-methylfluorenyl)iron complexes

New cationic complexes [(⁶-C₁₃H₁₀)Fe(⁵-Cp^*)]PF₆ and [(⁶-9-CH₃-C₁₃H₉)Fe(⁵-Cp^*)]PF₆ were obtained by the reaction of Cp^*Fe(CO)₂Br with fluorene and 9-methylfluorene, respectively. Deprotonation of these complexes byt-BuOK in THF affords zwitter-ionic compounds (⁶-C₁₃H₉)Fe(⁵-Cp^*) and (⁶-9-CH₃-C₁₃H₈)Fe(⁵-Cp^*) (A). WhenA is heated in nonane at 150 °C it undergoes ⁶⁵ inter-ring rearrangement with the formation of hexamethyldibenzoferrocene (B). The electrochemical behavior ofA andB was studied by cyclic voltammetry. One-electron reduction ofA andB to the corresponding radical anions induces inter-ring haptotropic rearrangementA ^.–B ^.–. The equilibrium in the 19 state is shifted to the ⁶-isomeric radical anionA ^.–, while in the 18 precursors, it shifts to the ⁵-isomerB.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

PVT properties of concentrated electrolytes. VI. The speed of sound and apparent molal compressibilities of NaCl,Na2SO4, MgCl2, and MgSO4 solutions from 0 to 100°C

The sound velocities of aqueous NaCl, Na₂SO₄, MgCl₂, and MgSO₄ solutions were measured from 25 to 95°C in 10^o intervals from dilute to saturated solutions. The results were combined with our earlier data and fitted to functions of molality and temperature to within ±0.4 m-sec^–1. The adiabatic compressibilities _S were calculated from sound speeds and used to calculate the adiabatic apparent molal compressibilities . Isothermal compressibilities and isothermal apparent molal compressibilities were calculated from _S using literature values for the expansibilities and heat capacities. The values of were extrapolated to infinite dilution using the Debye-Huckel limiting law to determine partial molal compressibilities. The apparent molal compressibilities were fitted to Pitzer's equations. The Pitzer parameters for the concentration dependence of were determined as a function of temperature. Correlations of and V at various temperatures were found for the electrolytes.     

Quantum-chemical examination of the factors rule in terms of simplest cluster calculation approaches

CNDO/BW examination of the factors rule in terms of the cluster approach has revealed its validity not only for the adsorption energy and the frequency shift of the stretching vibrations in the formation of hydrogen bonds but also for the variations of the hydrogen atom charge and the OH bond length.
