Debye–Einstein model and anomalies of heat capacity temperature dependences of solid solutions at low temperatures

An approach is proposed for analysing the deviations of the heat capacity C_p(T) of solid solutions from the Kopp–Neumann rule (KNR) ΔC(T)?=?C_p(T)???C_KNR(T). Temperature dependences of the heat capacity C_p(T) of selected compositions of systems (InP)_x (InAs)_1?x and (GaAs)_x (InAs)_1?x at temperatures of 5–300 K are analysed in the Debye–Einstein approximation. It was established that in the case of substitution of atoms in the cation subsystem (Ga³⁺???In³⁺) with the same subsystem of anions (As^3?), the positive values of ΔC(T) at T?<?100 K are due to the appearance of the low-frequency Einstein mode, whereas the negative values of ΔC(T) at T?>?100 K are the result of a decrease in the fraction of the Debye contribution without changing the upper limit of the oscillation frequency. In the case of substitution in the cation subsystem (P^3????As^3?) with the invariant cation subsystem (In³⁺) to the low-temperature positive contribution of the additional low-frequency Einstein mode, a positive part is added from the modified Debye mode having the characteristic temperature θ_D below the additive value θ_DKNR. The adequacy of this model is confirmed by Raman scattering data.

Synthesis,crystal structures,thermal properties,and DNA-binding studies of transition metal complexes with imidazole ligands

A new series of complexes of transition metal (Cu, Zn, Ni) perchlorate with imidazole have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, infrared (IR), UV-Vis spectroscopy, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Based on elemental and spectral data, the complexes are M(C₃H₄N₂) _x (ClO₄)₂ (M?=?Cu, Zn, x?=?4; M?=?Ni, x?=?6; C₃H₄N₂?=?imidazole). The crystal structures of Cu(C₃H₄N₂)₄(ClO₄)₂ (1) and Zn(C₃H₄N₂)₄(ClO₄)₂ (2) show metals surrounded by four nitrogens of imidazole, while the nickel complex Ni(C₃H₄N₂)₆(ClO₄)₂ (3) has six nitrogens of imidazole. Intra- and inter-molecular hydrogen bonds exist between hydrogen of imidazole and oxygen of perchlorate. The thermal stabilities of 1, 2, and 3 at different heating rates (β?=?5°C?min^?1, 10°C?min^?1, and 15°C?min^?1) show that all the complexes exhibit two thermal decomposition stages; the sequence of thermal stability is 2?>?1?>?3. 1, 2, 3, and imidazole display DNA binding ability, ascertained by UV-Vis titration.     

Hydrogen‐bonded chains in three cis‐dichloridoplatinum(II) complexes bearing piperidine and amine ligands

The crystal structures of cis‐dichlorido(ethylamine‐κN)(piperidine‐κN)platinum(II), [PtCl₂(C₂H₇N)(C₅H₁₁N)], (I), cis‐dichlorido(3‐methoxyaniline‐κN)(piperidine‐κN)platinum(II), [PtCl₂(C₅H₁₁N)(C₇H₉NO)], (II), and cis‐dichlorido(piperidine‐κN)(quinoline‐κN)platinum(II), [PtCl₂(C₅H₁₁N)(C₉H₇N)], (III), have been determined at 100 K in order to verify the influence of the nonpiperidine ligand on the geometry and crystal packing. The crystal packing is characterized by N—H...Cl hydrogen bonding, resulting in the formation of chains of molecules connected in a head‐to‐tail fashion. Hydrogen‐bonding interactions play a major role in the packing of (I), where the chains further aggregate into planes, but less so in the case of (II) and (III), where π–π stacking interactions are of greater importance.     

Thermochemical properties of free radicals from G3MP2B3 calculations

For a set of 32 selected free radicals, energy minimum structures, harmonic vibrational wave numbers ω_e, principal moments of inertia I_A, I_B, and I_C, heat capacities C°_p(T), entropies S°(T), thermal energy contents H°(T) ? H°(0), and standard enthalpies of formation Δ_fH°(T) were calculated at the G3MP2B3 level of theory in the temperature range 200–3000 K. In this article, thermodynamic functions at T = 298.15 K are presented and compared with recent experimental values. The mean absolute deviation between calculated and experimental Δ_fH°(298.15) values resulted in 3.91 kJ mol^?1, which is close to the average experimental uncertainty of ± 3.55 kJ mol^?1. The influence of hindered rotation on thermodynamic functions is studied for isopropyl and tert‐butyl radicals. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Chem Kinet 34: 550–560, 2002     

Twinkling fractal theory of the glass transition

In this paper we propose a solution to an unsolved problem in solid state physics, namely, the nature and structure of the glass transition in amorphous materials. The development of dynamic percolating fractal structures near T_g is the main element of the Twinkling Fractal Theory (TFT) presented herein and the percolating fractal twinkles with a frequency spectrum F(ω) ∼ ω^df–1 exp −|ΔE|/kT as solid and liquid clusters interchange with frequency ω. The Orbach vibrational density of states for a fractal is g(ω) ∼ ω^df–1, where d_f = 4/3 and the temperature dependent activation energy behaves as ΔE ∼ (T² − T). The key concept of the TFT derives from the Boltzmann population of excited states in the anharmonic intermolecular potential between atoms, coupled with percolating solid fractal structures near T_g. The twinkling fractal spectrum F(ω) at T_g predicts the correct dynamic heterogeneity behavior via the spatio-temporal thermal fluctuation autocorrelation relaxation function C(t). This function behaves as C(t) ∼ t^−1/3 (short times), C(t) ∼ t^−4/3 (long times) and C(t) ∼ t⁻² (ω < ω_c), which were found to be in excellent agreement with published nanoscale AFM dielectric force fluctuation experiments on a glassy polymer near T_g. Using the Morse potential, the TFT predicts that T_g = 2D_o/9k, where D_o is the interatomic bonding energy ∼ 2–5 kcal/mol and is comparable to the heat of fusion ΔH_f. Because anharmonicity controls both the thermal expansion coefficient α_L and T_g, the TFT uniquely predicts that α_L×T_g ≈ 0.03, which is found to be universal for a broad range of glassy materials from Pyrex to polymers to glycerol. Below T_g, the glassy structure attains a frustrated nonequilibrium state by getting constrained on the fractal structure and the thermal expansion in the glass is reduced by the percolation threshold p_c as α_g ≈ p_cα_L. The change in heat capacity ΔC_p = C_pL–C_pg at T_g was found to be related to the change in dimensionality from D_f to 3 in the Debye approximation as the ratio C_pL/C_pg = 3/D_f, where D_f is the fractal dimension of the glass. For polymers, the TFT describes the molecular weight dependence of T_g, the role of crosslinks on T_g, the Flory-Fox rule of mixtures and the WLF relation for the time-temperature shift factor a_T, which are traditionally viewed in terms of Free-Volume theory. The TFT offers new insight into the behavior of nano-confined glassy materials and the dynamics of physical aging. It also predicts the relation between the melting point T_m and T_g as T_m/T_g = 1/[1−p_c] ≈ 2. The TFT is universal to all glass forming liquids. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Thermochemical properties from G3MP2B3 calculations,Set‐2: Free radicals with special consideration of CH2CH?C•CH2, cyclo−•C5H5, •CH2OOH,HO?•CO,and HC(O)O•

After a set of 32 free radicals was presented (Int J Chem Kin 34, 550–560, 2002), an additional 60 free radicals (Set‐2) were studied and characterized by energy minimum structures, harmonic vibrational wave numbers ω_e, moments of inertia I_A, I_B, and I_C, heat capacities C^o_p(T), standard entropies S^o(T), thermal energy contents H^o(T) ? H^o(0), and standard enthalpies of formation Δ_fH^o(T) at the G3MP2B3 level of theory. Thermodynamic functions at T = 298.15 K are presented and compared with recent experimental values where these are available. The mean absolute deviation between calculated and experimental Δ_fH^o(298.15) values by the previous set of 32 radicals is 3.91 kJ mol^?1. For the sake of comparison, only 49 species out of the 60 radicals of Set‐2 are characterized by experimental enthalpies of formation, and the corresponding mean absolute deviation between calculated and experimental Δ_fH^o(298.15) values is 8.96 kJ mol^?1. This situation is cause for demand of more and also more accurate experimental values. In addition to the above properties, parent molecules of a large set of the respective radicals are calculated to obtain bond dissociation energies D^o(298.15). Radical stabilization owing to resonance is discussed using the complete sets of total atomic spin densities ρ as a support. In particular, a short review about recent developments of the first‐order Jahn–Teller radical c‐C₅H₅^? is presented. In addition, radicals with negative bond energies are described, such as ^?CH₂OOH where the reaction path to CH₂O + HO^? has been calculated, as well as radicals which have two different parent molecules, for example C?N? O^?. For the reaction HO^? + CO → H^? + CO₂, two reaction paths are characterized by a total of 14 stationary points where the intermediate radicals HO? ^?CO and HC(O)O^? are involved. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Thermodynamic properties of crystalline polymeric C60 phases in the temperature region from O → 0 to 340 E

The temperature dependences of the heat capacity C _p° = f(T) were studied in an adiabatic vacuum calorimeter for the orthorhombic, tetragonal, and rhombohedral polymeric C₆₀ phases in the 7—340 K temperature interval with an error of 0.2%. Comparative analysis of C _p° of these phases formed by stacking of one-dimensional and two types of two-dimensional polyfullerenes C₆₀, was performed, and their fractal dimensionalities D were determined for temperatures below 50 K. The thermodynamic functions of the crystalline polymeric C₆₀ phases were calculated in the temperature region from O 0 to 340 K: C _p°(T), H°(T) — H°(0), S°(T) — S°(0), and G°(T) — H°(0). Assuming that S°(0) = 0, the standard entropies of formation _f S° of these phases from graphite at T = 298.15 K and standard pressure were calculated. In addition, the entropies of transformation of the initial face-centered cubic phase of fullerite C₆₀ in the crystalline polymeric C₆₀ phases and entropies of their interconversions under the same conditions were estimated. The thermodynamic characteristics of the polymeric C₆₀ phases were reviewed.     

Thermodynamics of G-3(D4) and G-6(D4) carbosilanecyclosiloxane dendrimers

Temperature dependences of the heat capacity of G-3(D₄) and G-6(D₄) carbosilanecyclosiloxane dendrimers are studied for the first time by precision adiabatic vacuum and differential scanning calorimetry in the range of 6 to 350–450 K. Physical transformations in the investigated temperature range are observed and their standard thermodynamic characteristics are determined and discussed. Standard thermodynamic functions for a mole unit are calculated from the experimental data: C _p ^○ (T), H ^○(T), ? H ^○(0), S ^○(T) ? S ^○(0), and G ^○(T) ? H ^○(0) in the range of T → 0 to (350–449) K and standard entropies of formation at 298.15 K. Low-temperature (T ≤ 50 K) heat capacity is analyzed using the Debye theory of heat capacity of solids and the multifractal model. The values of fractal dimensionality D are determined and some conclusions on the topology of the investigated structures are drawn. The corresponding thermodynamic properties of the investigated carbosilanecyclosiloxane dendrimers under study are compared.     

Estimation of the lattice heat capacity of rare-earth compounds

On the basis of the experimental data reported in literature, the contributions of cation mass (m) and molar volume (V) to lattice heat capacity (C) were analyzed. The volumetric-mass formula, C_x=(l —f)·C₁+f·C₂+C_m·(m_x — m_x′), was presented for estimating the heat capacities of rare-earth compounds. In the formula C₁ and C₂ represent the lattice heat capacities of two reference substances respectively, f = V_x—V₁/V₂—V₁ and C_m represents the lattice heat capacity variation with the variation 1 g of cation mass. The equation relating the C_m with temperatures was derived as follows: C_m = 0.084 e ?0.0074T ?0.27 e ?0.045T, and m_x and m_x′ (= (1 - f) m₁₊f m₂) represent the practical and “assumed” cation masses of the substance in question respectively.     

Formation of H3O+ from alcohols and ethers induced by intense laser fields

The processes of H₃O⁺ production from alcohols (ethanol, 2‐propanol, 1‐propanol, 2‐butanol) and ethers (diethyl ether and ethyl methyl ether), and their deuterium‐substituted species, by intense laser fields (800 nm, 100 fs, ～1 × 10¹⁴ W/cm) were investigated through time‐of‐flight (TOF) mass spectrometry. H₃O⁺ formation was observed for all these compounds except for ethyl methyl ether. From the analysis of TOF signals of H_(3?n)D_nO⁺ (n = 0, 1, 2, and 3) that have expanding tails with increasing flight time, it has been confirmed that the reaction proceeds through metastable dissociation from the intermediate species C₂H_(5?m)D_mO⁺(m = 0–5). The common shape of the H_(3?n)D_nO⁺ signal profiles contains two major distributions in the time constant, i.e., fast and slow components of <50 ns and ～500 ns, respectively. The H_(3?n)D_nO⁺ branching ratio is interpreted to be the result of complete scrambling of four hydrogen atoms at the C? C site in C₂H₄‐OH⁺, and partial exchange (18–38%) of a hydrogen atom in the OH group with four other hydrogen atoms within 1 ns prior to H_(3?n)D_nO⁺ production. Ab initio calculations for the isomers and transition states of C₂H₅O⁺ were also performed, and the observed H_(3?n)D_nO⁺ production mechanism has been discussed. In addition, a stable isomer having a complex structure and two isomerization pathways were discovered to contribute to the H₃O⁺ formation process. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Ionic conduction in LiScn/Dimethylformamide/Poly(propylene oxide) system II. Mobility of lithium and thiocyanate ions

Ionic conductivity σ, shear viscosity η, and glass transition temperature T_g were measured on systems composed of lithiumthiocyanate LiSCN, N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), and poly (propylene oxide) (PPO) over wide ranges of LiSCN concentration C and DMF content Φ. Using the dissociation constant of LiSCN reported in Part I, we have determined the concentration n of Li⁺ and SCN^? ions and then the mobility μ from σ. Data indicate that in the binary system of LiSCN/PPO, the σ versus C curve exhibits a maximum ca. C = 0.3 mol/L. In low C range, μ is independent of C but decreases with C in the range of C > 0.3 mol/L. Similar n dependence of μ is seen in the ternary systems containing DMF. The ratio of μ₀/μ (C) is lower than the ratio of viscosity η(C)/η₀ where μ₀ and η₀ indicate the values at infinite dilution of LiSCN. Thus the friction coefficient ?_ion for the translational diffusion of the ions is not proportional to the macroscopic viscosity. Relationship between μ and the monomeric friction ?_p for the segmental motion of the PPO chains is also discussed based on the data of T_g and the Williams-Landel-Ferry equation. ©1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

The molecular Zeeman effect in HCP,HCN, and HCCBr and a comparison with similar molecules

The molecular Zeeman effect has been observed in the J = 0 → 1 ΔM = 0, and ± 1 transitions in H¹²CP, D¹²CP, H¹²C¹⁵N, H¹²C¹²C⁷⁹Br, and H¹²C¹²C⁸¹ Br giving the molecular g-values, magnetic susceptibility anisotropies, and corresponding molecular quadrupole moments. The results are g_⊥(HCP) = ?0.0430 ± 0.0010, g_⊥(DCP) = ?0.0353 ± 0.0010, x_⊥ - x_| = (8.4 ± 0.9) × 10^?6 erg/G² mole and Q_|(HCP) = (4.4 ± 1.2) × 10^?26 esu; g_⊥(HC¹⁵N) = ?0.0904 ± 0.0003, x_⊥ - x_| = (7.2 ± 0.4) × 10^?6 erg/G² mole, and Q_|(HC¹⁵N) = (3.1 ± 0.6) × 10^?26 esu; g_⊥(HCC⁷⁹Br) = ?0.00395 ± 0.00032, g_⊥(HCC⁸¹Br) = ?0.00388 ± 0.00014, x_⊥ - x_| = (9.5 ± 0.9) × 10^?6 erg/G² mole, and Q_| = (8.5 ± 1.1) × 10^?26 esu. The results in HCN agree very well with an earlier prediction of the magnetic properties. The new results presented here are compared to other members in the acetylene and cyanide series of molecules and we conclude that the sign of the g-value in acetylene should be positive.The deuterium nuclear quadrupole coupling constant was also determined in DCP to be x_D = 233 ± 40 kHz.     

Thermodynamic properties of poly[<Emphasis Type="Italic">bis</Emphasis>(trifluoroethoxy) phosphazene] in the range from <Emphasis Type="Italic">T</Emphasis>→0 TO 620 K

By adiabatic vacuum and dynamic calorimetry, heat capacity for poly[bis(trifluoroethoxy)phosphazene] has been determined over the 6–620 K range. Physical transformations of the polymer on its heating and cooling have been detected and characterized. Smoothed heat capacity C _p⁰(T) and standard thermodynamic functions (H ⁰(T)-H ⁰(0), S ⁰(T) and G ⁰(T)-H ⁰(0)) of poly[bis(trifluoroethoxy)phosphazene] have been evaluated for the temperature range from T→0 to 560 K. The standard entropy of formation Δ_f S ⁰ at T=298.15 K has been also determined. Fractal dimensions D in the heat capacity function of the multifractal variant of Debye’s theory of heat capacity of solids characterizing the heterodynamics of the tested polymer have been determined.     

Hindered interdiffusion in asymmetric polymer-polymer junctions

We discuss theoretically the diffuse interface formed when a long (L) polymer is put into contact with shorter chains (S) of the same material (all chains being entangled). At time t shorter than the reptation time T_L of the long chains, the L chains behave like a gel swollen by the S chains. The “penetration factor” ψ (i.e. the volume fraction of S near the gel surface) is controled by a balance between the osmotic pressure of the swollen L chains, and the elastic tension ψ due to swelling. If t is larger than T_S (the reptation time of the short chains), ψ is of order N_e/N_S (where N_e is the number of monomers between entanglement points, and N_S is the degree of polymerisation of the short chains). On the other hand, if t < T_S, N_S must be replaced by the average number s (t) of monomers of an S chain which have entered the L region, and ψ ∼ N_e/ s (t) ∼t^−1/2. The width of the mixed region e(t) increases like s ^1/2(t) at T_S, and like (D_St)^1/2 (where D_S is the reptation diffusion constant of the S chains) at t>T_S.
