Reactivity of oxidized substances and its correlation with catalyst properties in deep oxidation reactions

In terms of the donor-acceptor interaction concept /1/ the relative reactivity (RR) of organic and inorganic compounds and its correlation with catalyst properties in deep oxidation reactions are treated. RR and relative activity of the catalysts are shown to change depending on the predominant character (acceptor or donor) of reactant-catalyst interaction.

Effect of free phosphine on the reactivity of phosphine-containing rhodium(I) complexes

The photolysis products of SO₂-pentane-NO mixtures are N₂O, H₂O and a compound designated as RNO. Kinetic data obtained by OC method confirm the previously proposed scheme of photolysis. Also studied was the photolysis of SO₂, NO and cyclohexane mixtures. From comparison of spectral characteristics of RNO and its analog 2-methyl-2-nitrosopropane, the probable structure of RNO is suggested.

Thermal behaviour of some new hydrazinium fluorometallates

Three new hydrazinium(1+) fluoro complexes, N₂H₅AsF₆, (N₂H₅)₂ZrF₆ and (N₂H₅)₂HfF₆, were prepared and characterized by means of chemical analysis, IR and Raman spectroscopy and X-ray powder diffraction. Study of their thermal behaviour via TG, DTG and DTA measurements showed that they decompose in stages; the decomposition of N₂H₅AsF₆ proceeded in two steps, through the intermediate NH₄AsF₆; (N₂H₅)₂ZrF₆. Decomposed in three steps, through (NH₄)₂ZrF₆ and NH₄ZrF₅. The thermal decomposition of (N₂H₅)₂HfF₆ is more complex; in the first step (NH₄)₂HfF₆ with some N₂H₅HfF₅ was obtained, and in the second NH₄HfF₅. The intermediates were identified by means of chemical analysis and vibrational spectroscopy.

Zusammenfassung Die Hydrazinium(1+)-fluorokomplexe N₂H₅AsF₆, (N₂H₅)₂ZrF₆ und (N₂H₅)₂HfF₆ wurden dargestellt und durch chemische Analyse, IR- und Ramanspektren sowie Röntgenbeugungsdiagramme charakterisiert. Die Untersuchung ihres thermischen Verhaltens durch simultane TG-DTG-DTA-Messungen zeigte, dass sie sich schrittweise zersetzen: N₂H₅AsF₆ zersetzt sich in 2 Stufen mit NH₄AsF₆ als Zwischenprodukt; (N₂H₅)₂ZrF₆ zersetzt sich in 3 Stufen über (NH₄)₂ZrF₆ und NH₄ZrF₅. Die thermische Zersetzung von (N₂H₅)₂HfF₆ ist komplizierter, der erste Schritt liefert (NH₄)₂HfF₆ mit wenig N₂H₅HfF₅, der zweite NH₄HfF₅. Die Zwischenprodukte wurden durch chemische Analyse und Schwingungsspektroskopie identifiziert.

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.

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.

Synthesis and thermal decomposition of double dimethylammonium sulphate hexahydrates of aluminium and chromium

Double sulphates of trivalent aluminium and chromium with dimethylammonium, with general formula (CH₃NH₂M(SO_{4 2}·6H₂O, were synthesized and studied by means of thermogravimetry and differential thermal analysis over the range 20–600 °C under dynamic conditions in a flow of dry nitrogen or air, and with the methods of chemical analysis. An X-ray powder diffraction study of the above compound was also undertaken. It is assumed that dimethylammonium aluminium sulphate hexahydrate and dimethylammonium chromium sulphate hexahydrate are isostructural. The mechanism of thermal decomposition of these double salts is also suggested.

Mechanism of reactions in mixtures of calcium polyphosphate with apatite and accompanying minerals during heating

The thermal interaction of Kovdor apatite, calcite, dolomite and forsterite with calcium polyphosphate up to 1200 °C were studied by chemical, thermal (under dynamic and quasiisothermal and isobaric conditions), X-ray, electronmicroscopic and chromatographic methods. It was found that the accompanying minerals of apatite react with calcium polyphosphate at lower temperature in comparison with apatite, complicating the process of thermal defluorination of papatite.

Es wurde festgestellt, daß die Begleitminerale des Apatits im Vergleich zum Apatit selbst bei niedrigeren Temperaturen mit Calciumpolyphosphat reagieren und so den Prozeß der thermischen Entfluorierung von Apatit komplizieren.

Reaction routes for hydrogenation of acetylene-ethylene mixtures using a double labelling method

Hydrogenation of C₂H₂:C₂H₄ mixtures using a double labelling method has been studied. Both in the presence and absence of ethylene the rate of acetylene hydrogenation on its partial pressure proceeds through a maximum and the rate is higher when ethylene is added. Using¹⁴C–C₂H₂ it was demonstrated that at low acetylene partial pressures the main route of acetylene hydrogenation was the formation of ethane and C₄ hydrocarbons. Using¹⁴C–C₂H₄ it was also shown that at certain acetylene partial pressures the formation of ethane from ethylene completely ceased. Different surface species are suggested and a reaction mechanism is proposed.
