Thermoanalytical investigation of crystalline layered hafnium salts

Transition metal containing hafnium phosphates forms has layered monoclinic structure. In general these materials have similar route of thermal decomposition; i.e. they loss their crystal water first then at a higher temperature their structural one. At least the result HfP₂O₇ goes through phase change at about 1000 K. In detail among their thermal decomposition some differences occur. The Mn and Zn containing samples have similar behaviour as pure hafnium phosphate. The Cu and Ni containing materials have an additional exo-process connected with the transition metal oxide forms. In case of Co containing sample similar to that of Zn containing one (but very weak) processes were observed.     

Thermal Behaviour of Transition Metal-Containing Zirconium Phosphate

The thermal behaviour of Co(II), Ni(II) and Zn(II)-containing zirconium phosphate of α type was investigated. XRPD analysis revealed that, for the samples containing Co(II) or Ni(II), the first reflection of the solid phase is split into a doublet. In contrast, when Zn(II) is present, a single solid phase system is formed. The thermal behaviour of the materials followed this sequence. For the samples containing Co(II) or Ni(II), phase-transition processes were found and there was also a loss of crystal water, but for the sample containing Zn(II) there was only one endothermic effect, which corresponded to the decomposition of phosphate groups.

Thermoanalytical investigation of tin and cerium salt mixtures

Summary Oxide materials belonging to the Sn-Ce-O system are very interesting due to their use as solid electrolytes in fuel cells, catalysts, sensors and photoanodes in solar cells. The aim of the present work is to investigate the thermal behaviour of some tin and cerium salt mixtures. Mixtures with different representative Sn:Ce atomic ratio were prepared by classical ceramic method using SnC₂O₄, Ce(SO₄)₂·4H₂O and (NH₄)₂Ce(NO₃)₆ as starting compounds. The samples were investigated by means of TG/DTA methods in flowing and static air atmosphere. SnO₂ and/or CeO₂ were identified by X-ray diffraction and IR spectroscopy in the final decomposition products, depending on the initial composition of the both series. A different crystallinity degree of the solid products was observed depending on the Ce precursor.     

Thermoanalytical characterization of polyphenylacetylene

Differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetry, thermogravimetry/mass spectrometry and infrared spectroscopy were used to study the thermal behaviour of high polyphenylacetylene obtained through the Mo(CO)₆ catalyzed metathesis polymerization of phenylacetylene. The exothermic peaks observed in nitrogen are explained by crystallization or a solid state transition, initiation and decomposition to aromatic compounds, and the endothermic peaks by volatilization. In oxygen the exothermic peaks are explained by crystallization or a solid state transition, initiation, oxidation, cross-linking and decomposition. The TG and MS results indicate that the polymer is stable to ca. 250°C with solvent molecules trapped in the polymer matrix evolving below this temperature.     

Thermoanalytical investigation of cavity filling natrolite group minerals in basalts

Cavity filling natrolites in basalts from several localities of Balaton Highland were investigated by different methods. The measurements of different thermal parameters (corrected decomposition temperature and activation energy) were first applied for natrolite. Energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) was used for the observation of chemical composition. Few of the minerals are regular, ordered natrolite, the majority proved to be so called ‘tetranatrolite’. According to our observations both natrolite and ‘tetranatrolite’ may appear in the same locality and chemical inhomogenity can be demonstrated within a single natrolite needle.     

Thermoanalytical investigation of blood

The aim of this study is to understand some properties and thermal behavior of blood, giving a possible alternative tool which differs from the traditional blood diagnostic methods, and to improve investigations in hematology and artificial bloods. Wistar rat blood samples (WRBS); SHR rat blood samples (SHRBS) and human blood samples (HBS) were analyzed. TG curves showed two decomposition stages for HBS at around 100 and 230°C (T _onset), while three mass degradation stages for WRBS (70, 110, 270°C) and SHRBS (70, 120, 270°C) could be observed. DSC peaks showed five endotherms for HBS at 65, 82, 194, 201 and 309°C and three endotherms for WRBS at 83, 184 and 313°C.     

Thermoanalytical study of cyclization reaction of some thioureates

Thermal initiated conversion of N-aryl-N'-(2-benzylpyridinium)thioureates into 2-arylamino-4H-benzo[d][1,3]thiazines was studied by non-isothermal differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetry (TG) and differential thermal analysis (DTA) in the solid-state. The values of molar reaction ethalpies (DH _r) of six derivatives of thioureates and the melting parameters (T _f, DH _f, DS _f) of the obtained products - benzothiazines were determined by the DSC method. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Orientation-dependent nanostructuring of titanium surfaces by low-energy ion beam erosion

Regular nanoscopic ripple and dot patterns are fabricated on poly-crystalline titanium samples by irradiation with 1.5 keV argon ions at normal incidence. The morphology of the nanostructures is investigated by scanning electron microscopy and scanning force microscopy. The ripple structures exhibit a saw-tooth cross-section profile. Electron backscatter diffraction experiments are performed to analyze the local grain structure. The study suggests a distinct correlation of the nanostructure morphology to the crystallographic orientation of the titanium surface.     

Thermal transformations of titanium slag of high titania content

Titanium raw materials play important role as a source of titanium and titanium dioxide. The investigation of the rate of oxidation and phase transformation of titanium slag in static air atmosphere by use of thermogravimetry (TG) and X-ray diffractometry (XRD) were presented. The investigation were carried out for three different particle size fractions to determine influence of this parameter on rate of reaction. To estimate kinetic parameters was used the kinetic model of contracting volume. The value of kinetic parameters show that influence of heating rate and particle size on rate of reaction is not so large. The thermogravimetric investigations of the oxidation of titanium slag in air atmosphere shown that reaction proceeds in two stages. The XRD investigation shown that titanium slag has the pseudobrookite structure and its diffraction pattern is very close to the diffractogram of magnesium titanate MgTi₂O₅ and iron magnesium titanium oxide (Fe-Mg-Ti-O). At elevated temperature the structure of slag transforms to the ferric pseudobrookite structure and excess titanium dioxide forms the rutile phase. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Thermoanalytical investigation of calcium chromate

Thermoanalytical methods have been used to study calcium chromate (CaCrO₄) samples. Thermal decomposition temperatures determined by TG in vacuum and by DTA in air could not be successfully used for screening purposes. Other thermogravimetry studies in air indicate that TG can be an effective quality control tool in screening out samples which have an assay value below 97.0% CaCrO₄. More complete analyses using TG in an argon atmosphere gave good results for CaCO₃ and H₂O content as well as for total CaCrO₄. Reliable measurement of Ca(OH)₂ was not achieved. Effluent gas analysis—mass spectrometry was used to identify gaseous products as a function of temperature, in order to verify interpretation of TG curves.Thermogravimetry, differential scanning calorimetry, nuclear magnetic resonance, and mass spectrometry have been used in an effort to explain the unusual weight loss observed between 400 and 600°C for many CaCrCO₄ samples. Ca(OH)₂ decomposition is not the primary cause of this weight loss, as originally suspected, but instead the loss appears to be due to volatization of H₂O trapped in the CaCrO₄ crystal.     

Thermoanalytical investigation of the guest-release process in aromatic-guest clathrates of three-dimensional metal complex hosts

The guest-release process was investigated in terms of the activation energy evaluated by thermogravimetry for the en-Td-type clathratescatena--[catena--(ethylenediamine)cadmium(II) tetra--cyanocadmate(II) or -mercurate(II)]-benzene(1/2), -benzene-d ₆(1/2), and -pyrrole(1/2), the Hofmannen-type clathratescatena-[catena--(ethylenediamine)cadmium(II) tetra--cyanonickelate(Il)]-benzene (1/2) and -pyrrole(1/2), the Hofmann-pn-type clathratecatena-[catena--(dl- orl-propylenediamine (cadmium(II) tetra--cyanonickelate(II)]-pyrrole(2/3), and the pn-Td-type clathratescatena-[catena--(dl-propylenediamine) or -(l-propylenediamine)cadmium(II) tetra--cyanocadmate(II)]-benzene(2/3). Values of the activation energy are correlated with the structural change in the metal complex host accompanied by the release of the guest molecules. The crystal structure ofcatena-[ethylenediaminecadmium tetra--cyanonickelate(II)], the residual host of the Hofmann-en-type, has been analyzed to elucidate the correlation.     

Thermoanalytical investigations on the decomposition of double salts

The melting and decomposition behaviour of carnallite was investigated in the closed system under dynamic heating conditions and in the open system under dynamic and quasi-isothermal and quasi-isobaric conditions in the temperature range between 20 and 300°. DTA heating and cooling cycles in the closed system illustrate the incongruent melting of carnallite and the occurrence of different magnesium chloride hydrate phases. The thermal decomposition under quasi-isothermal and quasi-isobaric conditions begins at a pressure of at least 100 kPa from the melt and under reduced pressure from the solid. In any case KCl · MgCl₂ · 2 H₂O is formed which is decomposed to a basic product KMgCl_2.84–2.90(OH_0.10–0.16.

Thermal Studies on Solid Complexes of Uracil With Some Divalent Transition Metal Ions

The thermal behaviour of Mn(II), Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Cd(II) and Pd(II) complexes of uracil was studied by TG, DTG and DTA in a dynamic nitrogen atmosphere. Two processes occur in the isolated uracil complexes: dehydration and pyrolytic decomposition. In the hydrated complexes, the first stage observed was the loss of water molecules, which was followed by decomposition of the uracil. The thermal dehydration of the complexes occurred in from one to three steps. The final decomposition products were found to be the respective metal oxides, except in the cases of the Co(II) and Pd(II) complexes, which produced metallic cobalt and palladium, respectively. The order of reaction and energy of activation for the dehydration stage were evaluated.This revised version was published online in November 2005 with corrections to the Cover Date.

A double salt of the type MBr·MgBr2·6H₂O is formed as a stable intermediate. The final product of all types of thermal decomposition are basic products with different hydroxide or oxide contents, respectively.

Meloxicam and Study of Their Antimicrobial Effects against Phyto- and Human Pathogens

Recently, the design of new biological metal-ligand complexes has gained a special interest all over the world. In this research, new series of mixed ligand complexes from meloxicam (H₂mel) and glycine (Gly) were synthesized. Structures of the compounds were investigated employing elemental analyses, infrared, electronic absorption, ¹H NMR, thermal analyses, effective magnetic moment and conductivity. The estimated molar conductivity of the compounds in 1 × 10⁻³ M DMF solution indicates the non-electrolyte existence of the examined complexes. Additionally, the effective magnetic moment values refer to the complexes found as octahedral molecular geometry. The data of the infrared spectra showed the chelation of H₂mel and Gly with metal ions from amide oxygen and nitrogen of the thyizol groups of H₂mel and through nitrogen of the amide group and oxygen of the carboxylic group for Gly. Thermal analyses indicated that the new complexes have good thermal stability and initially lose hydration water molecules followed by coordinated water molecules, Gly and H₂mel. The kinetic parameters were calculated graphically using Coats–Redfern and Horowitz–Metzeger methods at n = 1 and n ≠ 1. The density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed at B3LYP levels. The optimized geometry of the ligand and its complexes were obtained based on the optimized structures. The data indicated that the complexes are soft with η value in the range 0.114 to 0.086, while η = 0.140 for free H₂mel. The new prepared complexes were investigated as antibacterial and antifungal agents against some phyto- and human pathogens and the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) data showed that complex (A) has the lowest MIC for Listeria and E. coli (10.8 µg/mL).     

Thermoanalytical characterization of vanadium-chromium oxide compounds prepared by 'soft chemistry' method

Summary Hydrated microcrystalline compound, V_1-xCr_xO_y·nH₂O, where x<0.063 and 4.4<n<8 and hydrated amorphous phases, CrVO₄·H₂O and Cr₂V₄O₁₃·4H₂O have been prepared using peroxo-polyacids of vanadium and chromium. The transformations of these hydrated phases upon heating were studied by TG-DTA and XRD techniques and led to three crystalline anhydrous compounds: (i) phase V_1-xCr_xO_y, which is closely related to the orthorhombic V₂O₅, (ii) Cr₂V₄O₁₃ and (iii) monoclinic CrVO₄-M. The ranges of coexistence of phases in equilibrium were also determined.

The chromatographic behavior of 30 inorganic cations has been studied on thin layers of titanium phosphate ion-exchanger using several aqueous,organic and mixed mobile phases.The separation of one ion from several other ions and also ternary and binary separations have been developed.Some important analytical separations are reported.The effect of pH of the mobile phase on retention factor(Rf)values of the cations in the presence of complex-forming anion along with the separation power of the ion-exchanger were studied.This ion-exchanger exhibits high sorption capacity and varying selectivity towards metal ions and makes it a suitable stationary phase in thin layer chromatography.     

Thermoanalytical investigation of crystallin cerium phosphate

The crystalline cerium bis-monohydrogen phosphate Ce(HPO₄)₂·1.33 H₂O was synthetized and identified by X-ray and analytical methods.The thermal decomposition was investigated by simultaneous TG, DTG and DTA measurements. As a result of investigations four endothermic processes with weight loss were found; the first two, nearly equal peaks at 373 and 423 K, the third at 653 K and the last at 1053 K. The material after heating over 1273 K was investigated with the same analytical methods. In connection with these data we supposed that the weight losses may be identified as water and oxigen losses. The thermal analysis was supported by X-ray measurements. Collecting the results of thermal and X-ray analysis crystalline water bound in the molecule in various ways can be quantitatively distinguished. It was found that this phenomena have definite influence on the layer distance.By the X-ray measurements the change of the crystal structure taking place during the heating process could be followed.
