Thermal Behaviour of RE(His)(NO3)3⋅H2O

The thermal decomposition behaviour of the complexes of rare earth metals with histidine: RE(His)(NO₃)₃H₂O (RE=La—Nd, Sm—Lu and Y; His=histidine) was investigated by means of TG-DTG techniques. The results indicated that the thermal decomposition processes of the complexes can be divided into three steps. The first step is the loss of crystal water molecules or part of the histidine molecules from the complexes. The second step is the formation of alkaline salts or mixtures of nitrates with alkaline salts after the histidine has been completely lost from the complexes. The third step is the formation of oxides or mixtures of oxides with alkaline salts. The results relating to the three steps indicate that the stabilities of the complexes increase from La to Lu.This revised version was published online in November 2005 with corrections to the Cover Date.

Die IR-Spektren von B-Methoxy- und B-Trideuteromethoxyborazinen und-boroxinen und Tri[methoxy(d3)boran

Zusammenfassung In Methoxyverbindungen des Bors tritt eine Verminderung der Frequenz der B—O-Valenzschwingung gengenüber den entsprechenden Trideuteromethoxyverbindungen auf. Dies wird durch zufällige Entartung von B—O und CH₃ erklärt, die zu einer Abstoßung und zur Vermischung des Schwingungscharakters dieser beiden Schwingungen führt. Hiedurch werden die B—O-Valenzschwingungen zu tieferen und die CH₃-Deformationsschwingungen zu höheren Wellenzahlen verschoben. Ähnliche Erscheinungen sind auch in Methoxyborazinen durch Wechselwirkung von BN und CH₃ zu beobachten. Diese Deutung gibt auch Hinweise für Zuordnungen in den Spektren von N-Methylborazinderivaten.

---

In methoxy substituted boron compounds bands arising from B—O stretching and (O)–CH₃ deformation modes show accidental degeneracy. The frequency of the CH₃ absorption is increased whereas BO is decreased compared to the corresponding CD₃-compounds. The spectra of B-methoxyborazines show similar effects between BN and (O)–CH₃ bands, which is analogous to interference between BN and (N)–CH₃ in N-methylborazines.

Electronic structure of BF3-benzaldehyde

Two different models were assumed for BF₃-benzaldehyde: a charge transfer complex and a — one. The CNDO/2 and the Mulliken's population analysis were used. From the given numerical results we clearly conclude a — model. An electronic migration from benzaldehyde to BF₃ and other results of the population analysis are also discussed.     

An Inorganic-Organic Hybrid Supramolecular Hydrogen-Bonding and π-π Stacking Network Containing Ge4S4− 10 Cluster: Synthesis and Characterization of (H2bipy)2Ge4S10⋅(bipy)⋅7H2O (bipy=4,4′-bipy)

The reactions of TMA₄Ge₄S₁₀ (TMA=tetramethylammonium), Cu(NO₃)₂3H₂Oand 4,4-bipy under hydrothermal environment result in the formation of (H₂bipy)₂Ge₄S₁₀(bipy)7H₂O (1), which has been structurally characterized by single crystal X-ray analysis.

Infrared spectroscopy of hydrogen bond and substituent effects in electron donor molecules

The frequency shift, , of the O—H stretching mode in the IR spectra of the H-complexes of phenol with electron donor molecules BX_i (B is the n- or -donor center and X_i are substituents; a total of eight series), the change in the Gibbs free energy, G, due to H-complexation, and the parameter (a measure of the ability of BX_i molecules to donate an electron pair; two series) are determined by both the electrostatic interaction and charge transfer in the formation of H-complex. The , G, and values depend not only on the inductive and resonance effects, but also the polarizability of substituents characterized by the parameters.

Summary The 2g1-Kink is considered as an elastic dipole in the idealized PE-crystal, with 4 possible positions, that is 4 dipol-tensors. The calculated relaxation strength for the -process in PE — kinkstep (_II) and kinkjump (_II) — agrees with the results obtained by considering a simple shear displacement (7) and with experiment, assuming h. The mean number h of 2g1-kinks in a bloc and the thermal expansion due to these kink defects are discussed under the additional condition that 2g1-kinkconcentrationc is constant.

Some peculiarities of π—π interactions between tetraphenylporphine metal complexes and aromatic solvents

The — complexes of metal tetraphenylporphinates with benzene, toluene, and xylenes were characterized by means of thermogravimetry. The ability of metalloporphyrins to form — complexes with certain -donor molecules depends largely on the -acceptor capacity of the macroheterocycle, and on the peculiarities of the metal—porphyrin coordinative linkage. Stoichiometry, energy parameters, and thermal stability of the - complexes of metalloporphyrins with various aromatic ligands are determined to a great extent by the molecular structure of solvents.Translated fromIzyestiya Akademii Nauk.

Magnetische Messungen im System Fe—Te

In the binary Fe–Te system six intermediate solid phases exist with varying ranges of homogeneity. With the exception of the high temperature -phase the magnetic behavior of these phases and in some cases the variation of magnetic properties with composition were investigated by susceptibility measurements in the temperature range from 100 to 300 K. Both the -phase (FeTe_1–x ) and the -phase (Fe₅Te₆) follow theCurie—Weiss law and can be designated as antiferromagnetic compounds according to the negativeWeiss constants of –192 K and –314 K, resp. The magnetic moments identify these two phases as high-spin compounds of Fe. The observed increase of the magnetic moments towards the Ferich limit of the -phase is due to the occupation of the octahedral interstices in the anion sublattice by excess iron and it was explained by a simple model. The magnetic moment of the hypothetical equiatomic compounds FeTe, obtained by extrapolation (3.87 _B), as well as the moment of the -phase (3.83 _B) are nearly identical and can be interpreted as being due to the existence of three unpaired 3d-electrons per formula unit. For the Te-rich (Fe_1–x Te)-, (Fe_1–x Te)- and (FeTe₂)-phases the transition metal is supposed to be in the low-spin state. The observedPauli paramagnetism is not temperature independent but decreases with decreasing temperature. Below 100 K FeTe₂ appears to be diamagnetic.

Enthalpy of solution of carbohydrates using a modified differential scanning calorimeter

A differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) was modified for the determination of enthalpies of solution. The measurements were performed on aqueous solutions of the deoxy- and fluoro-deoxy derivatives of D-glucopyranose (Glu) where the OH group on the C1, C2, C3, and C6 is replaced by H (1HGlu, 2HGlu, 3HGlu, and 6HGlu) and by F (1FGlu, 2FGlu, 3FGlu, and 6FGlu), 4-deoxy 4-fluoro--D-glucopyranoside (4FGlu), 1-methoxy--D-glucopyranoside (MeOGlu), 1-phenoxy--D-glucopyranoside (PheOGlu), D-mannopyranose (Man), and 3-methoxy--D-glucopyranoside (3MeOGlu), at 15.1, 25.0, 35.0, and 45.1°C. The enthalpies of solution _sH⁰(T) ranged from 1.00±0.25 kJ-mol^–1 for 6HGlu at 15.1°C to 20.4±1.4 for PhOGlu at 45.1°C and were in good agreement with literature values for Man, Glu, MeOGlu, and 3MeOGlu at 25.0 and 35.0°C and for MeOMan and 2HGlu at 35.0°C. _sH⁰(T) for the derivatives were then extrapolated up to the melting temperature T_m and compared with their enthalpies of fusion, _fH also determined from DSC measurements. If the agreement between _sH⁰(T_m) and _fH was within the 95% confidence level, then it was concluded that intermolecular interactions between the carbohydrate molecules in the liquid phase were the same as between the carbohydrate and water molecules in the solution phase. This agreement was observed for aqueous solutions of Man, Glu, MeOGlu, 3HGlu, 3FGlu, and 6FGlu.

The electronic structure of molecules by a many-body approach

The vertical valence ionization potentials of cyclopropane, ethylene oxide and ethylene imine are calculated by a many-body Green's function method. For C₃H₆ the ordering of the ionization potentials is 2e(), 1e(), 2a₁(), 1a₂(), 1e(). The assignment of the 2a₁ and the 1a₂ ionization potentials which has been controversial is thus clarified. The ordering is in agreement with the result obtained via Koopmans' theorem. For ethylene oxide and ethylene imine Koopmans' theorem fails in predicting the correct order of ionic states. For C₂H₄O the ordering of the ionization potentials is 2b ₁(), 4a ₁, 1a ₂(), 2b ₂,3a ₁, 1b ₁(), 1b ₂, 2a ₁ and for C₂H₅N 6a, 5a, 3a, 2a, 4a, 3a, 1a, 2a. The agreement of the computed ionization potentials with the experimental values is very satisfactory.

Acid-base properties of supported vanadium oxide catalyst

Reduction of V₂O₅/Al₂O₃ and V₂O₅/silica-alumina produced Lewis acid sites which could strongly adsorb CO (heat of adsorption: 90 kJ/mol). Such strong acid sites were not formed in the cases of V₂O₅/SiO₂ and V₂O₅/MgO. V₂O₅ loaded on Al₂O₃ interacted with the basic sites of alumina but not with the acidic sites, while the V₂O₅ on silica-alumina interacted with the acidic sites of the silica-alumina and decreased its acidity.

Synthesis of γ-Fe2O3 by thermal decomposition of FeC4H4O6·2.5H2O

Iron(II) tartrate two and a half hydrate (FeC₄H₄O₆·2.5H₂O) was prepared and its thermal dehydration and decomposition were studied with a simultaneous thermal analyser (TG/DTA/DTG) under atmospheres of static air, dynamic dry nitrogen and dynamic air. This study was supplemented with the two-probe d.c. electrical conductivity technique under the same atmospheres. Under all the above atmospheres, the thermal dehydration was found to be a two-step process. However, the thermal decomposition process was quite complicated, involving the formation of various metastable intermediates, including-Fe₂O₃. The final product of decomposition under all atmosphere was-Fe₂O₃.Studies on the physical properties of-Fe₂O₃ were also undertaken.
