Iron Catalysis of SO2 Oxidation in the Atmosphere

The mechanisms of SO₂ oxidation catalyzed by iron ions in the droplet phase of the convective cloud in the lower atmosphere were examined. The relations of the catalytic SO₂ decrease to the concentration of the iron ions and to the intensity of fluxes to the droplet of the OH _(g) and HO _2(g) radicals were characterized. The determining role of the replacement of the low-reactive HO _2(g)(O^– _2(aq)) radical by the reactive SO^– _5(aq) radical in the sulfite medium during daytime was revealed. This process occurred due to the coupling of the decay of the radicals and their regeneration in the liquid-phase reactions O^– _2(aq) + FeOH²⁺ _(aq) Fe²⁺ _(aq) + OH^– _(aq) + O_2(aq), HSO^– _5(aq) + Fe²⁺ _(aq) FeOH²⁺ _(aq) + SO^– _4(aq)HSO ₃ ^- _(aq),O_{2 (aq)} SO^– _5(aq).     

Thermodynamic quantities for the interaction of Cl− with Mg2+, Ca2+ and H+ in aqueous solution from 250 to 325°C

The aqueous reactions, Mg²⁺+Cl^–=MgCl⁺, Ca²⁺+Cl^–=CaCl⁺, and H⁺ +Cl^–=HCl(aq), were studied as a function of ionic strength at 250, 275, 300, and 325°C using a flow calorimetric technique. The logK, H, S and C_p values were determined from the fits of the calculated and experimental heast. The data were reduced assuming a known functionality of the activity coefficient. Hence, the logK, H, S and C_p values determined in this study are dependent on the activity coefficient model used. These thermodynamic values were compared with literature results. The logK values for the formation of MgCl⁺ agree reasonably well with those reported in the literature. The logK values for CaCl⁺ formation agree reasonably well with those reported in the literature at 300 and 325°C. At lower temperatures, the agreement is poorer. The logK values for the formation of HCl(aq) are generally lower than those reported in the literature. The logK, H, S and C_p values for all three ion association reactions are positive and increase with temperature over the temperature range studied. These values are the first determined calorimetrically for the formation of MgCl⁺ and CaCl⁺ in the temperature range 275–325°C.Presented at the Second International Symposium on Chemistry in High Temperature Water, Provo, UT, August 1991.     

A calorimetric investigation into copper–arginine and copper–alanine solid state interactions

Complexes of formula CuCl₂ · 2arg and CuCl₂ · 4ala (arg = arginine; ala = alanine) were prepared at room temperature by a solid state route. The metal–amino acid solid state interactions were studied by i.r. spectroscopy and solution calorimetry. For both complexes, participation of the carboxylate group as well as nitrogen in coordination are inferred, based on the i.r. data. For the copper–arginine compound, the calculated thermochemical parameters are: _rH_m = –114.9 ± 1.42 and _fH_m = –1608.3 ± 11.6 kJ mol^–1. For copper–alanine compound, a complete set of thermochemical parameters were calculated: _rH_m = –18.0 ± 0.9; _fH_m = –2490.4 ± 4.3; _DH_m = 597.2 ± 17.7; _MH_m = 771.9 ± 18.7; _gH_m = 627.1 ± 22.3 and D (Cu–L) = 156.8 ± 5.7 kJ mol^–1. Based on _rH_m and dissolution enthalpy values, a stronger intermolecular solid state interaction can be inferred for the arginine complex, than for the alanine one complex, probably due to the formation of intermolecular hydrogen bonds in the former.     

M Spectra of the Rare Earth Elements Measured with an Ultra-Thin Window Si(Li) Detector

The oxides of the rare earth elements 57Z71 were excited by electrons with an energy between 3 and 15keV. X-rays were detected by an energy dispersive Si(Li) spectrometer, with an ultra-thin polymer entrance window. Due to the limited resolution of this type of spectrometer, the M spectra of the rare earths appear to consist of only four peaks: M, M,, M, and M₂N₄. The net height of these peaks relative to that of M, was used as a measure of the relative intensity. For 3keV electrons, a continuous decrease of the relative intensity of M with increasing Z was observed, ranging from approximately 90% for 57 La to less than 10% for 71 Lu. This behaviour is in agreement with a model involving a gradual filling up of the levels N6 and N7 with increasing Z. The relative intensity of M is lower than that of M by about a factor of 5, whereas M₂N₄ is approximately half as intense as M.

The reaction course consists of a rapid pre-equilibrium protonation, followed by a rate determining chelate ring opening process and subsequent fast release of the one-end bound carbonato ligand. Kinetic parameters, k ₁ and K, at 25 °C are 5.5 × 10^–2 s^–1, 0.44 M^–1 (ImH), 5.1 × 10^–2 s^–1, 0.54 M^–1 (1-Meim) and 3.8 × 10^–3 s^–1, 0.74 M^–1 (2-MeimH) respectively, and activation parameters for k ₁ are H₁ = 43.7 ± 8.9 kJ mol^–1, S₁ = –123 ± 30 J mol^–1 deg^–1 (ImH), H₁ = 43.1 ± 0.3 kJ mol^–1, S₁ = –125 ± 1 J mol^–1 deg^–1 (1-Meim) and H₁ = 64.2 ± 4.3 kJ mol^–1, S₁ = –77 ± 14 J mol^–1 deg^–1 (2-MeimH). The results are compared with those for similar cobalt(III) complexes.

Mixed-Metal Cluster Chemistry. 27. Coupling of Diphenylbuta-1,3-diyne and CO at Tungsten–Triiridium Cluster Cores

Reactions of WIr₃(CO)₁₁(-C₅H₄R) (R=H, Me) and excess diphenylbuta-1,3-diyne in refluxing toluene afford a large number of products in each case, one of which has been identified as [WIr₃{ ₄- ⁷-C(Ph)C(C CPh)C(Ph)CC(H)CC₆H₄ C(O)-2}(CO)₇(-C₅H₄R)] [R=H (10 %) (1), Me (6 %)] by a single-crystal X-ray diffraction study of 1. The structure of 1 reveals a unique ten-electron-donating ligand which has formed from combination of two diphenylbuta-1,3-diyne units and one carbonyl group, addition of the latter having presumably proceeded by orthometallation of one phenyl group, followed by formal insertion of the carbonyl into the Ir-phenyl linkage. Crystal data for 1.CH₂Cl₂: space group P2₁/n, a = 8.6081(1)Å, b = 39.3638(5)Å, c = 12.3935(2)Å, = 100.4889(5)°, V = 4129.33(10)ų, Z = 4, R = 0.030, R _w = 0.026 for 4982 reflections [I > 2.00(I)]     

Ionization potentials of halides. Substituent effects in Cl-, Br-, and I-centered radical cations

The first vertical ionization potentials (I) of halides HalX (Hal = Cl, Br, I; X is an inorganic or organic substituent) are linearly related to the inductive (_I), resonance (_R ⁺), and polarizability () constants of the substituents X (I = a + b_I + c_R ⁺ + d). As the atomic number of the Hal element in the Hal^·+X radical cations increases, the inductive interaction is strengthened while the polarizability interaction is weakened. Conjugation remains virtually independent of the Hal atom. The resonance _R ⁺-constants of the MX₃ (M = Si, Ge, Sn, Pb) substituents bound to the Hal^·+ radical cation centers were first calculated.     

NMR Study of Non-freezing Water in Protein-Modified Carbon Adsorbents

Temperature dependences of ¹H NMR spin–spin relaxation were studied for the non-freezing water at the surface of carbon matrices modified with proteins (human serum albumin (HSA) and mouse immunoglobulin (MIG)) in the presence of water-soluble carbodiimide. The entropy, S , and enthalpy, H , values characterizing molecular mobility in non-freezing water were estimated. The compensation effect was observed for all modified samples, which is well approximated by the linear dependence of the type H = T ₀S + H ₀. The compensation temperature T ₀ = 231 ± 33 corresponds to such a state of non-freezing water, when the effect of modifying additives on the isobaric potential of molecular mobility activation in the non-freezing water, G , is minimal. The G has approximately constant value equal to H ₀ = 24.2 ± 0.5 kJ/mol. Modification of the base carbon matrix with MIG protein results in higher structurization of the non-freezing water, whereas HSA reduces this structurization. The observed effects are explained in terms of the hydration of modifying agents and also by the peculiarities of their location on the surface of carbon adsorbent.

Structure and charge distribution of some alkynoyl cations

We have performedab initio calculations to determine the structure and charge distribution of some alkynoyl cations and their parent alkynoyl fluorides. We have used Mulliken population analysis and a new technique developed by Yáñez, Stewart and Pople. Our results indicate that the mesomeric form O⁺C–CC–R is one of the most important contributors to the structure of these cations, in agreement with experimental conclusions. We have also found that the participation of mesomeric form O=C=C=C⁺ -R is not negligible and increases with -substitution. In the 3-phenylpropynoyl cation substantial delocalization of charge into the phenyl group occurs. Calculations from YSP population analysis are in good agreement with experimental evidence.
