Thermal analysis of conducting polymers part I

Thermogravimetry (TG) has been conducted on a series of electroconducting acid-doped polyanilines. The weight loss results suggest that the majority of dopants are eliminated between 230 °C to 350 °C leaving behind the skeletal non-conducting polyaniline. The doped polyaniline are thermally more stable than the pristine polyaniline in air at high temperatures. This suggests that despite the early elimination observed, the presence of dopant at the begining has a stabilizing effect on the skeletal polyaniline. By comparison the acid-doped polyanilines are more thermally stable than many other electroconductive polymers, such as polypyrroles and polyacetylenes.

Zusammenfassung An einer Reihe von elektrisch leitenden säureversetzten Polyanilinen wurden thermogravimetrische (TG) Untersuchungen durchgeführt. Die Gewichtsverluste zeigen, daß die Mehrzahl der Zusätze bei einer Temperatur zwischen 230 °C und 350 °C eliminiert werden, wobei die nichtleitenden Polyaniline zurückbleiben. Bei hohen Temperaturen ist das versetzte Polyanilin in Luft thermisch stabiler als das ursprüngliche Polyanilin. Das bedeutet, daß eine anfängliche Gegenwart der Zusätze ungeachtet der frühen Eliminierung einen stabilisierenden Effekt auf das Polyanilingerüst ausübt. Im Vergleich erwiesen sich säureversetzte Polyaniline als thermisch stabiler als andere elektrisch leitende Polymere wie z. B. Polypyrrole oder Polyazethylene.

Efficiency of sensitization of titanium dioxide by adsorbed acridine yellow in photocatalytic hydrogen evolution

Quantum efficiency of the photocatalytic hydrogen evolution upon illumination in the self-and dyesensitized absorption bands of suspended titanium dioxide has been determined. The photocatalytic activity observed upon illumination in the sensitization band is shown to be due to absorption of light quanta by adsorbed molecules of the dye.

Thermal analysis of mercury(I) sulfate and mercury(II) sulfate

The thermal decomposition of mercury(I) and (II) sulfates has been investigated by thermogravimetry. The solid-state decomposition products have been characterized by infrared and Raman spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and an X-ray diffraction method. It is concluded that mercury(I) sulfate decomposes in two steps, initially forming a mixture of metallic mercury and mercury(II) sulfate — the latter subsequently decomposes without forming a stable intermediate. The stoichiometry of disproportionation of mercury(I) sulfate and the thermal stability range of mercury(I) and mercury(II) sulfates have been established.

Zusammenfassung Die thermische Zersetzung von Quecksilber(I) und (II)-sulfaten wurde durch Thermogravimetrie untersucht. Die Festphasen-Zersetzungsprodukte wurden durch Infrarot- und Ramanspektroskopie, Massenspektrometrie und Röntgendiffraktion charakterisiert. Es wurde gefolgert, dass Quecksilber(I)sulfat in zwei Stufen zersetzt wird, unter anfänglicher Bildung eines Gemisches von metallischem Quecksilber und Quecksilber(II)-sulfat, welches in der Folge ohne Bildung eines stabilen Zwischenproduktes zersetzt wird. Die Stöchiometrie der Disproportionierung des Quecksilber(I)sulfats und der Bereich der Thermostabilität der Quecksilber(I) und Quecksilber(II)sulfate wurden ermittelt.

On a caractérisé les produits de la décomposition en phase solide par spectroscopies infrarouge et Raman, spectrométrie de masse et diffraction des rayons X. On en a conclu que le sulfate de mercure(I) se décompose en deux étapes, formant initialement un mélange de mercure métallique et de sulfate de mercure(II), ce dernier se décomposant ensuite sans formation d'un intermédiaire stable. Les proportions stoechiométriques de la dismutation du sulfate de mercure(I) et de l'intervalle de stabilité thermique des sulfates de mercure(I) et de mercure(II) ont été établis.

Kinetics of propylene oxidation in the region of negative temperature coefficients of the rate

Kinetic regularities in the consumption of initial reactants and the accumulation of propylene oxidation products has been studied in the region of negative temperature coefficients of the maximum reaction rate (T=648–723 K). It has been revealed that for prolynene-enriched mixtures (C₃H₆:O₂=3:1) at P-20.66 kPa, the reaction rate is practically independent of the temperature, whereas for poor mixtures (C₃H₆:O₂=1:5) it decreases with increasing temperature.

Catalytic mechanism of the reaction between N(4S) nitrogen atoms and sodium azide

Catalytic effect of transition metal oxides on the reaction of monatomic nitrogen with sodium azide has been experimentally established. The maximum effect is exerted by metal oxides with d³ configuration. Absorption of nitrogen atoms by reactive mixtures is accompanied by the complete compensation for the spins of unpaired d-electrons. A catalytic mechanism accounting for the formation of intermediate between d-metal ion and nitrogen atom is suggested.
