Mössbauer study of the thermal decompositions of alkaline earth tris(oxalato)ferrates(III)

The thermal decompositions of alkaline earth tris(oxalato)ferrates(III) (Mg, Ca, Sr and Ba) have been studied by Mössbauer spectroscopy and other techniques. During the thermal decomposition, dehydration occurs first, followed by reduction to iron(II) species, and oxides and ferrites (MFe^IIIO₄) are then formed at higher temperature. In the case of strontium tris(oxalato)ferrate(III), strontium ferrite (SrFe^IVO₄) is formed at 700°.

Thermal and other studies on bivalent metal selenltes

BaSeO₃·2·5H₂O(I), PbSeO₃· 2H₂O(II) and CdSeO₃·3.5H₂O(III) were prepared and analysed. Their hygroscopicity and solubility was investigated. These compounds have high thermal Stability, as shown by their TG and DTA data. IR spectra show multi-dentate coordination of selenite to cations, due to considerable splitting of the asymmetric v₃ and v₄ bands of SeO ₃ ^{2 –} in the 780-730 cm^–1 and 420-325 cm^–1 region.Tentative structures have been proposed involving bridging oxygen atoms.

Theoretical Study of Chemical Binding of Noble Gas Atom and Transition Metal Complexes: Ng–NiCO, Ng–NiN2, Ng–CoCO (Ng = He–Xe)

Summary. Ab initio multireference and coupled cluster methods (MR-SDCI(+Q), CASPT2, CCSD(T)) and density functional theory methods (B3LYP, MPWPW91) have been applied to examine geometrical structures and vibrational frequencies of noble gas (Ng) – transition metal compounds, Ng–NiCO, Ng–NiN₂, and Ng–CoCO (Ng = He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe). It is shown that the respective compounds can have a larger binding energy than a typical van der Waals interaction energy. The binding mechanism is explained by a partial electron transfer from a noble gas atom to the low-lying 4s and 3d vacant orbitals of the transition metal atom. Theoretical calculations show that the binding of noble gas atom results in a large shift of the bending frequency: 361.1cm^–1 (NiCO) to 403.5cm^–1 (Ar–NiCO); 308.5cm^–1 (NiN₂) to 354.8cm^–1 (Ar–NiN₂); 373.0cm^–1 (CoCO) to 422.6cm^–1 (Ar–CoCO). The corresponding experimental frequencies determined in solid argon are 409.1cm^–1 (NiCO), 357.0cm^–1 (NiN₂), and 424.9cm^–1 (CoCO), which are much closer to the corresponding frequency of Ar–NiCO, Ar–NiN₂, and Ar–CoCO, respectively.     

Application of the photoionization detector for single determinations of hydride forming elements

The application of a photoionization detector in conjunction with a flow-through system is described for the determination of arsenic, antimony, selenium, tellurium, bismuth, tin, sulfide and ammonia. The analytical procedure is based upon a preliminary generation of the hydride compounds, their subsequent transfer to the gas phase and finally their detection in the photoionization detector. Linear calibration curves were obtained over three to four orders of magnitude with the following 3s-detection limits: 4 ng/ml As, 0.3 ng/ml Sb, 0.5 ng/ml Se, 3.0 ng/ml Te, 0.1 g/ml Bi, 0.5 g/ml Sn, 10.0 ng/ml S^2–, 0.5 g/ml NH₃.     

Percolation Effects on the Surface of a Polyimide Film Modified with Aqueous Solutions of an Alkali and Acid

A cluster structure of the surface of a polypyromellitimide film was studied by the electron microscopy and ATR IR spectroscopy methods at different steps of consecutive treatment with aqueous solutions of an alkali and acid. The effective size and fractal dimension D of polyamidoacid clusters, as well as the degree _s of the filling of the surface with the latter were calculated from the data of the electron microscopy as a function of the degree of imide group conversion into amidoacid units on the film surface. The _s and D parameters were shown to increase with a rise in : _s = 0.1–0.3 and D = 1.3–1.4 at < _cr and _s 0.6 and D 1.7 at > _cr, where _cr is a critical degree of conversion, which corresponds to the formation of a continuous physical network of polyamidoacid macromolecules or a percolation cluster. In a region close to _cr (at < _cr), the correlation length land the concentration C of the clusters vary according to the laws of the percolation theory for two-dimensional lattices: l (_cr – )^– and C (_cr – ), where = 1.3 ± 0.1 and = 0.67 ± 0.05.

Potassium addition to Fe/MgO, Ni/MgO and Ni/SiO2: Reducibility, dispersity and stabilization of the promoter by the support

The influence of potassium addition on the morphological properties of Fe/MgO and Ni/MgO has been investigated: KNO₃ addition to precursors results in a decrease of the reducibility and in a smaller dispersity of the metallic phase. A loss of potassium is observed at reduction temperatures in excess of 773 K. Silica-supported Ni behaves differently: silica inhibits the potassium volatilization and nickel reducibility is enhanced. This illustrates how promoter effects can be influenced by the nature of support.

Radical addition of methyldichlorosilane to vinyl acetate

The GC-MS method was used to identify the addition products of methyldichlorosilane to vinyl acetate. Radiation-induced addition of methyldichlorosilane to vinyl acetate produces 2-methyldichlorosilylethyl ethyl ether. The reaction follows a radical-chain mechanism. The ratio of the rate constants of methyldichlorosilyl radical addition to C=C and C=O to vinyl acetate amounts to 0.4±0.1 (303 K).

Effect of the roughness factor on the surface oxidation of ruthenium catalysts

The surface oxidation of ruthenium catalysts with different roughness factor values has been analyzed. It is shown that electro formation of oxidized species on the exposed surface of ruthenium is strongly affected by the rougher characteristics of the surface. This effect has been explained through the addition and removal of protons to and from the oxidized species.
