The chemistry of uranium

The thermal decomposition reactions of various hexanitrato uranium(IV) species, M₂U(NO₃)₆ where M=Cs⁺, NEt ₄ ⁺ , AsPh ₄ ⁺ and PPh ₄ ⁺ have been studied.The overall decomposition reaction can be described in terms of an oxidation-reduction reaction in which the nitrate oxidizes the uranium. The enthalpies of decomposition were found to be very similar, approximately 55 kJ mole^–1 except for the PPh ₄ ⁺ -salt which was only 27 kJ mole^–1.The decomposition kinetics of all the compounds were studied and found to be complex — especially during the initial stages of the reaction.

The combinations and disproportionations of the CH₃ and 2-propyl (iP) radicals with the 1,1,2-trimethylallyl (TMA) radical have been studied in the gas phase in the temperature interval of 389–451 K and 490–540 K, respectively. For the ratios of the terminal (t) and non-terminal (n) combinations of the CH₃ and iP radicals with the TMA radical, values of 1.9±0.1 and 2.84±±0.10 were obtained, respectively. The ratios of the tt and tn and nn to tn combinations of the TMA radical were 1.59 and 0.46, respectively. The disproportionation-combination rations were (CH₃ , TMA)=0.022±±0.012 and (iP, TMA)=0.026±0.011.

Synthesis and thermostability of the binary condensed phosphates

Some condensed phosphates, especially cyclo-tetraphosphates have been synthetized as new binary compounds and their existence has been proved. The synthesis of cyclo-CdMgP₄O₁₂ is shown as an example. The products crystallize in the monoclinic system (C2c group) and are stable to 900°C. The synthesis is based on a thermal procedure making use of the reversible transformation of cyclo-tetraphosphates to higher linear phosphates (the 1.method) and on a calcination of the starting binary dihydrogenphosphate at quasi-isothermal-isobaric conditions (the 2.method).

Toluene disproportionation and coke formation over fluorided alumina and hydrogen-mordenite

Toluene transformation was investigated on a fluorided alumina and a protonic mordenite under hydrogen (0.8, 12 bar) and under nitrogen (12 bar). Hydrogen pressure considerably improves the catalytic stability of H-mordenite by inhibiting the formation of coke. Moreover, hydrogen eliminates part of the coke deposited by reaction under nitrogen, and regenerates the activity of the mordenite. On the contrary, hydrogen has no effect in the case of fluorided alumina. The particular behavior of the mordenite is attributed to its very strong acidity.

Disc — A differential isoperibol scanning calorimeter

The construction and operation of a new fully automated microcalorimeter is described.This instrument allows specific heat measurements to be performed on small samples in the 10 mg-range at low temperatures (10 K <T < 350 K). The new method consists of ombining the non-adiabatic relaxation-time calorimetry with a twin arrangement and simultaneous temperature scanning. Some experimental details of the calorimeter and sample holders are presented. The accuracy of the calorimeter was verified by calibration measurements on 56 mg of copper. An energy resolution of 0.1J/K has been reached near 12 K. To demonstrate the reliability of the microcalorimeter the heat capacity of the new highT _c superconductor YBa₂Cu₃O_7–y, was determined.

Product selectivity and qualitative reaction scheme for the dehydrogenation and hydrogenolysis of n-butane over supported ruthenium at high temperature

The dehydrogenation and hydrogenolysis of n-butane (n-C₄) over a Ru–Al₂O₃ catalyst (0.849 w/w% Ru) have been studied at 490°C at different time factors. Some runs have also been made on pure -Al₂O₃ at 490°C and on Ru-black at temperatures between 100 and 490°C, feeding n-butane and hydrogen. The analysis of the selectivity vs. time factor allows to prove that the initial reactions taking place are n-C₄ dehydrogenation to 1-butene and 2-butenes and skeletal isomerization to isobutane. The initial molar selectivity to the n-butenes reaches about 70%. A qualitative reaction scheme is proposed.
