Thermal and some other properties of the complexes crystallizing from the system Ni(II)-en-[Ni(CN)4]2−-H2O

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.

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.

Fluorescent Molecular Sensing System Based on Tri-Pyrenes-Labeled γ-Cyclodextrin at the Hetero Rim

Fluorescent active host labeled at the upper and lower rims of -cyclodextrin, namely, mono-3^A-deoxy-3^A-pyrenebutylamido-6^X,Y-O-bis-pyrenebutylate-mono-altro--cyclodextrin (-3) has been synthesized as a chemosensor for steroidal guests using fluorescence spectra change upon a guest addition. The -3 shows monomer and excimer fluorescence, which results in an increase of the intensity of monomer and decrease of excimer fluorescence with a host–guest binding in the cyclodextrin cavity. The extent of monomer and excimer fluorescence variations of -3 was used as an indication for the sensing ability for the guests examined. The guest-induced fluorescence changes were measured for 10^–7 M solutions of -3. The sensing parameters (I_ex/I⁰_ex and I_mon/I⁰_mono) were used to describe the sensing ability of -3. The values of I_ex/I⁰_ex describe that -3 shows less selectivity for guests than that of mono-3^A-deoxy-3^A-pyrenebutylamido-6^X-O-mono-pyrenebutylate-mono-altro--cyclodextrin (-2), and the values of I_mon/I⁰_mono show that -3 shows higher sensitivity and selectivity than that of -2.     

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.

Experimental study of the initial stage of Li2SO4·H2O single crystal dehydration in vacuum

The initial stage of the Li₂SO₄·H₂O single crystal isothermal dehydration has been studied by means of quartz crystal microbalance. As found, weight loss in the initial process may be considered as H₂O molecule diffusion from a semiinfinite medium. The numerical values of the H₂O molecule diffusion in Li₂SO₄·H₂O have been calculated from the results obtained.

Effect of heating rate on the thermal decomposition of lead dioxide

Experimental data are presented on the kinetics and mechanism of PbO₂ decomposition at heating rates varying from 0 to 2.5 · 10³ °/sec. The studies were carried out with a time-of-flight mass spectrometer MSKH-4, a Paulik-Paulik-Erdey derivatograph and an X-ray diffractometer DRON-0.5At low heating rates (0 to 0.2 °/s) oxygen is evolved in four stages: PbO₂ PbO_1.56 PbO_1.44 PbO.

Kinetics of thermal decomposition of pyrite in an inert atmosphere

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.

Effect of hydrothermal treatment on catalytic properties of superhigh-silica zeolites

The effect of hydrothermal treatment of decationized superhigh-silica zeolite on the mechanism of n-hexane conversion has been studied. It has been established that thermosteam modification sharply decreases the cracking activity and increases the selectivity to aromatization reactions. Zeolite acidity markedly decreases, but its crystal structure does not become amorphous.

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.
