Exchange kinetics of amino acid anions in solutions of ternary copper(II) complexes with diethylenetriamine

Rate constants for the chemical exchange of some amino acid anions in solutions of copper(II) ternary complexes with diethylenetriamine have been determined by the NMR method. The coordination of amino acid anions in ternary and binary species is different and ligand substitution in the Cu(II) complexes follows an associative mechanism.

On a variational method for determining excited state wave functions

A variational method is proposed which results in an approximate wave function for an excited state which has the maximum overlap with the true excited state eigenfunction. The method involves the calculation of the quantities E=¦H¦ and =¦(H-E)²¦, but is free of the constraint that the trial function must remain orthogonal to all states of the same symmetry which lie beneath it. One must know, however, an approximation to the true eigenvalue. A discussion is given on how one might gain the latter information, lacking knowledge of the spectrum, from the repeated application of the method.

Zusammenfassung Es wird eine Variationsmethode vorgeschlagen, die auf eins genäherte Wellenfunktion für einen angeregten Zustand führt, welche sich maximal mit der wahren Eigenfunktion des angeregten Zustandes überlappt. Die Methode ermöglicht die Berechnung der Größen: E=¦H¦ und =¦(H-E)²¦, ist aber frei von der Nebenbedingung, daß die Versuchsfunktion orthogonal zu allen benachbarten Zuständen mit derselben Symmetrie bleiben muß. — Man will jedoch eine Näherung des wahren Eigenwertes wissen. — Eine Diskussion darüber, wie man durch wiederholte Anwendung der Methode letztere Information gewinnen kann, ohne Kenntnisse über das Spektrum zu besitzen, wird durchgeführt.

Résumé Méthode variationnelle pour la détermination d'une fonction d'onde d'un état excité présentant le recouvrement maximum avec la fonction d'onde exacte. La méthode implique le calcul de E=¦H¦ et =¦(H-E)²¦ mais ne comporte pas la contrainte d'orthogonalité de la fonction d'essai à tous les états inférieurs de même symétrie. On doit cependant connaître une valeur approchée de la valeur propre exacte. Discussion sur la manière dont on peut obtenir cette valeur approchée sans connaître le spectre, par application répétée de la méthode.

Coke deposition on naphtha reforming catalysts: I. Influence of the hydrocarbon feed

During hydrocarbons reactions over Pt/Al₂O₃ the catalyst is covered by coke. It is accepted that coke formation occurs on metal and acid sites. During normal heptane and methylcyclopentane reforming it was found that the nature and the rate of coke deposited on the catalyst surface was not same, depending on the structure of the hydrocarbon feed.

Influence of alkali promoters on the direction of CO conversion on precipitated Fe catalysts

It has been established that at small conversion degrees of CO on precipitated Fe catalysts the parallel formation of paraffins and olefins takes place. Sodium introduction inhibits the formation of paraffins in the independent direction, which increases the selectivity to olefins.

Seven complex compounds exhibiting the compositions Ni(en)₃Ni(CN)₄·H₂O (I), Ni(en)₃Ni(CN)₄ (II),-Ni(en)₂Ni(CN)₄ (III), Ni(en)Ni(CN)₄·2H₂O (IV), Ni(en)Ni(CN)₄ (V), Ni(en)₂Ni(CN)₄ · 2.5H₂O (VI) and-Ni(en)₂Ni(CN)₄ (VII) were prepared from the system Ni-en-[Ni(CN)₄]^2–-H₂O. These compounds were examined by the methods of infrared spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffractometry, UV-VIS reflectance spectroscopy, and also by the measurement of magnetic moments. The thermal stability, the stoichiometry of thermal decomposition and the mutual transformations were investigated with a derivatograph. The reactions proceeding according to the following schemes were observed if the system was heated to appropriate temperature: (I)(II)(III)(V)(IV) and (VI)(VII)(III)(V)(IV) Process (VII)(III) represents isomerization. The reversibility of the process (V)(IV) is due to the high hygroscopicity of the anhydrous complex. The changes in structure in the course of the individual processes are discussed.

Thermal properties of 5-(subst)-amino-1,2,3,4-thiatriazoles

The thermal properties of 5-(subst)-amino-1,2,3,4-thiatriazoles were studied using TG and DTA. 5-amino-1,2,3,4-thiatriazole was actively decomposed at the melting temperature. The active thermal decomposition proceeds at a very fast rate, being accompanied by exothermic reactions of recombination. In comparison with this, the different-5-(subst)-amino-1,2,3,4-thiatriazoles are decomposed at slower rates in several degradative steps. The effects of some substituents on the total course of thermal degradation are discussed.

Die aktive thermische Zersetzung verläuft mit einer sehr großen Geschwindigkeit und wird von den exothermen Reaktionen der Rekombination begleitet.

Estimation of kinetic parameters in oxidative dehydrogenation of n-butenes over SnO2?Sb2O4 catalysts

Kinetic curves measured in the oxidation of n-butenes over a SnSb=31 mixed oxide catalyst were fitted by the kinetic model put forward in a previous paper. The goodness of fitting shows that the kinetic behavior of this complex reaction system can be described by a mechanism involving acidic and redox sites on the catalyst surface.

Catalytic activity of honeycomb catalysts, I. The benzene-cyclohexane (de)hydrogenation reaction

Monolithic supported platinum catalysts were investigated with respect to their hydrogenation and dehydrogenation activity towards benzene and cyclohexane, respectively, between 250° and 350°C. Conversion of benzene to cyclohexane is optimal for the volume ratio H₂/Bz=5 at lower temperatures. In the cyclohexane dehydrogenation reaction, high temperatures, associated with lower N₂/Cy ratios, are beneficial. No byproducts were observed in the two reactions.

The thermal decomposition of pyrite in an inert atmosphere was studied in order to obtain a detailed knowledge of the kinetics and mechanism of the reaction 2 FeS₂=2FeS+S₂, which is one of the methods of producing elementary sulphur. The process was studied under isothermal conditions at temperatures of 600, 660, 700, 750, 800 and 850 °C in a nitrogen atmosphere, by means of a thermobalance. The rate-controlling processes were determined and their kinetic parameters were calculated. The optimum temperature for the process was found to be 800 °C.

The kinetics of thermal dehydration of bis-salicylato-diaquo complexes of VO(II), Cu(II), Ni(II), Co(II), Fe(II), Mn(II) and Zn(II) were studied.

The activation energy of the thermal dehydration decreases in the sequence VO(II) > Cu(II) > Zn(II) > Co(II) > Ni(II) > Fe(II) > Mn(II), which is also the sequence for the difference in carboxyl group IR frequency.
