Water as a solute in nitromethane: Effect of H2O–D2O isotope substitution on the solution volumetric properties between 278.15 K and 318.15 K

Densities of solutions of H₂O and D₂O in nitromethane, with the solute mole fractions ranging up to 0.03, were measured with an error of 1.5 · 10⁻⁵ cm³ · mol⁻¹ at (278.15, 288.15, 298.15, 308.15, and 318.15) K using a vibrating-tube densimeter. Apparent and partial volumes and isobaric expansibilities (down to the infinite dilution) of water isotopologues were calculated. The temperature-dependent behavior of D₂O–H₂O solute isotope effects on the molar quantities studied were described taking into account the structure- and interaction-related peculiarities of the dissolving medium in question.     

Thermodynamic properties of aqueous-organic systems with low water contents. 2. Limiting partial molar volumes of D2O and H2O intert-butyl alcohol and 1,4-dioxane at 288.15–318.15 K

The densities of dilute solutions of H₂O and D₂O in 1,4-dioxane and tert-BuOD have been measured in the interval 288.15–318.15 K with an error of 2·10^–6 g/cm³. The limiting partial molar volumes of D₂O and H₂O in 1,4-dioxane andtert-butanol have been determined by using an original procedure; the changes in the partial molar volume of water due to H-D substitution in the water molecules have been calculated. The analysis of the temperature dependence of the partial volumes of the components of the binary mixtures H₂O (D₂O) + 1,4-dioxane and H₂O (D₂O) +tert-BuOH (tert-BuOD) showed on the basis of Maxwell's crossing equations that the addition of small amounts of water significantly alters the structure of the unary organic solvent. In the presence of trace amounts of water the expansibility of 1,4-dioxane increases and that oftert-butanol decreases.For previous communication, see [1].Institute of the Chemistry of Nonaqueous Solutions, Russian Academy of Sciences, Ivanovo 153018.

Densimetric Studies of Binary Solutions Involving H2O or D2O as a Solute in Dimethylsulfoxide at Temperatures from (293.15 to 328.15) K and Atmospheric Pressure

Densities of H₂O and D₂O solutions in dimethylsulfoxide, with solute mole fractions ranging up to 0.037, were measured with an uncertainty of 1.5×10^?5?g?cm^?3 at eight temperatures between 293.15 and 328.15?K (with a step of 5?K) under atmospheric pressure using a sealed vibrating-tube densimeter. Apparent molar volumes and isobaric expansibilities (down to infinite dilution) of water isotopologues, as well as excess molar volumes of both solutes and solutions as a whole, were calculated. The temperature-dependent behavior of H₂O??D₂O solute isotope effects on the studied molar volumetric characteristics was interpreted by taking into account the structural and related interaction peculiarities of the dissolving medium in question.

A pure calcium borate Ca₂[B₂O₄(OH)₂]·0.5H₂O has been synthesized under hydrothermal condition and characterized by XRD, FT-IR and TG as well as by chemical analysis. The molar enthalpy of solution of Ca₂[B₂O₄(OH)₂]·0.5H₂O in HC1·54.582H₂O was determined.

Volumetric properties of H2O, D2O, and methanol in acetonitrile at 278.15—318.15 K

The densities of H₂O, D₂O, and MeOH solutions in acetonitrile with the solute concentrations up to 0.07 molar fractions at 278.15, 288.15, 298.15, 308.15, and 318.15 K were measured using vibrating-tube densimetry with an error 8·10^–6 g cm^–3. The limiting partial molar volumes for the H/D isotopomers of water and IaII in acetonitrile (V^– ₂ ) and the isotope effects in V^– ₂ and in excess molar volumes of acetonitrile—water mixtures were calculated. Molecules of H₂O, D₂O, and IaII form associates with acetonitrile molecules via hydrogen bonds. The associates have the packing volumes close to those in the individual solute. The water and methanol molecules were assumed to be incorporated into the acetonitrile structure without substantial changes in the latter. However, this process results in some compression of the system with a simultaneous increase in its expansibility.     

D<Subscript>2</Subscript>O — H<Subscript>2</Subscript>O Solvent Isotope Effects on the Apparent Molar Volumes of Tetramethyl-<Emphasis Type="Italic">bis</Emphasis>-urea (Mebicarum) Solutions

Densities of solutions of tetramethyl-bis-urea (TMbU) or “Mebicarum” in H₂O and D₂O, with solute mole fraction concentrations (x ₂) ranging up to 3.2 × 10⁻³, have been measured at 288.15, 298.15, 308.15 and 318.15 K using a precision vibrating-tube densimeter. The limiting apparent molar volumes, V _φ,2 ^∞, and expansibilities, E _{p, φ, 2} ^∞, of the solute have been calculated. The isotope effect δ V _φ,2 ^∞(H₂O → D₂O;T) is negative, monotonously decreases in magnitude with temperature and reverses sign at T ≈ 318 K. Water (H₂O, D₂O) and TMbU molecules in infinitely- and highly-dilute aqueous solutions form H(D)-bonded hydration complexes with a high packing density. The hydration of TMbU should be treated as a superposition of two mechanisms, hydrophobic and hydrophilic, with the latter one predominating.     

H 2 O-D2O Solvent Isotope Effect on Excess Molar Volumes of 3-Methylpyridine Solutions

Densities of 3-methylpyridine (3-MP) + water and 3-methylpyridine + heavy water were measured in the 3-MP mole fraction range 0.002–0.04 from 298 to 318 K. The excess molar volumes of 3-MP + D₂O mixtures were found to be more negative than those of 3-MP + H₂O mixtures. The partial molar volume of 3-MP at infinite dilution is smaller in D₂O than in H₂O which suggests that 3-MP causes a structure-breaking effect in water which is more pronounced in D₂O. It was found that the volume change with concentration in dilute solutions of 3-MP in water and heavy water can be adequately described by the pair-wise interaction of the solute molecules. The molal volume second-virial coefficient, V _xx , is positive indicating that the water molecules are less structured in the cospheres of the solute pairs than in the bulk solvent. The temperature dependence of V _xx displays a maximum at around 308 K in the case of D₂O solutions, whereas V _xx increases almost linearly with temperature in H₂O solutions.     

Thermochemistry of NaRb[B4O5(OH)4]·4H2O

The enthalpies of solution of NaRb[B₄O₅(OH)₄]·4H₂O in approximately 1 mol dm⁻³ aqueous hydrochloric acid and of RbCl in aqueous (hydrochloric acid + boric acid + sodium chloride) were determined. From these results and the enthalpy of solution of H₃BO₃ in approximately 1 mol dm⁻³ HCl(aq) and of sodium chloride in aqueous (hydrochloric acid + boric acid), the standard molar enthalpy of formation of −(5128.02 ± 1.94) kJ mol⁻¹ for NaRb[B₄O₅(OH)₄]·4H₂O was obtained from the standard molar enthalpies of formation of NaCl(s), RbCl(s), H₃BO₃(s) and H₂O(l). The standard molar entropy of formation of NaRb[B₄O₅(OH)₄]·4H₂O was calculated from the Gibbs free energy of formation of NaRb[B₄O₅(OH)₄]·4H₂O computed from a group contribution method.

Two solid-state coordination compounds of rare earth metals with glycin, [Gd_4/3Y_2/3(Gly)₆(H₂O)₄](ClO₄)₆·5H₂O and [ErY(Gly)₆(H₂O)₄](ClO₄)₆·5H₂O were synthesized. The low-temperature heat capacities of the two coordination compounds were measured with an adiabatic calorimeter over the temperature range from 78 to 376 K. [Gd_4/3Y_2/3(Gly)₆(H₂O)₄](ClO₄)₆·5H₂O melted at 342.90 K, while [ErY(Gly)₆(H₂O)₄](ClO₄)₆·5H₂O melted at 328.79 K. The molar enthalpy and entropy of fusion for the two coordination compounds were determined to be 18.48 kJ mol⁻¹ and 53.9 J K⁻¹ mol⁻¹ for [Gd_4/3Y_2/3(Gly)₆(H₂O)₄](ClO₄)₆·5H₂O, 1.82 kJ mol⁻¹ and 5.5 J K⁻¹ mol⁻¹ for [ErY(Gly)₆(H₂O)₄](ClO₄)₆·5H₂O, respectively. Thermal decompositions of the two coordination compounds were studied through the thermogravimetry (TG). Possible mechanisms of the decompositions are discussed.     

Isotope Effect on Fractional Dilatability of Solute Water as an Indicator of the H-Bonding Ability of an Aprotic Dipolar Solvent

Based on experimental data about the density of very dilute solutions of H₂O and D₂O in 1,4-dioxane, hexamethylphosphotriamide, and acetonitrile at 278.15 K-318.15 K we determined the limiting partial molar volume (error ±0.03 cm³·mol⁻¹) and dilatability of the water component. A correlation equation has been derived which relates the isotope effect (IE) in the limiting excess partial molar dilatability of water to the energy of the H₂O-solvent hydrogen bond. The stated IE may be used as a “structural indicator” for evaluating the ability of an aprotic dipolar solvent to undergo specific interactions through hydrogen bonding.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2004 by E.

Thermodynamic study of systems with lower critical solution temperatures: H2O + (C2H5)3N,D2O + (C2H5)3N

Chand, A., McQuillan, A.R. and Fenby, D.V., 1979. Thermodynamic study of systems with lower critical solution temperatures: H₂O + (C₂H₅)₃N, D₂O + (C₂H₅)₃N. Fluid Phase Equilibria, 2: 263–274.Molar excess enthalpies and molar excess volumes are reported for the systems H₂O + (C₂H₅)₃N and D₂O + (C₂H₅)₃N at temperatures below and above their lower critical solution temperatures. The molar excess enthalpies are slightly less exothermic for the D₂O system. The molar excess volumes of the H₂O and D₂O systems are within experimental error of one another. Compositions of conjugate solutions estimated from the calorimetric and volumetric measurements agree with those obtained from published liquid—liquid phase diagrams.

Radiolysis in H2O/D2O mixtures. Hydrogen production under LOCA simulation

The hydrogen isotope radiolytic yields, G(H₂), G(HD) and G(D₂) were determined in H₂O/D₂O mixtures under chemical conditions close to a LOCA in a PHWR like Atucha I Nuclear Station, that is 2·10^–3 MH₃BO₃ and p(H+D)=8.5±0.2. The total hydrogen radiolytic yield G(H₂+HD+D₂) as a function of the deuterium atom fraction goes through a flat maximum at about 0.58. This result in dicates that the 4% flammability limit for hydrogen in the reactor's containment with be reached sooner than what is expected assuming a linear combination of pure H₂ and D₂ radiolytic yields. Hydrogen radiolytic production in 10^–3 M KBr in H₂O/D₂O mixtures gives the same results as in the boric solutions suggesting a bimolecular B(OH) ₄ ^– +OH reaction. Identical isotope concentration factors were calculated for both solutions.     

Volumetric properties of mixtures of water and methanol H/D-isotopomers between 5 and 45°C

Densities of H/D-isotopomers mixtures of water (H₂O, D₂O) and methanol (CH₃OH, CD₃OH, CH₃OD, and CD₃OD) over the full range of compositions were measured at 5, 15, 25, 35, and 45°C. Results have been used to calculate molar volumes, excess molar volumes, apparent molar volumes, and isotope effects of the mixtures. The volumetric properties are discussed in terms of the structural changes in water-methanol solutions under the influence of isotope substitution.     

Molar volumes of LiI in H2O and D2O solutions; Structural hydration interactions

According to a recent study of the H₂O and D₂O molar volume isotope effect (MVIE) of the alkali metal chloride solutions, neither the standard nor the excess MVIE of the LiCl corresponds to the usual hydrophilic hydration characteristics of the inorganic ions above room temperatures. This phenomenon can not be rationalized by electrostriction, with the collapse of the “loose” tetrahedral (“ice-like”) water structure due to the electrostatic (ion + dipole) interaction.It seemed possible that this unique hydration behaviour of the Li⁺ would be stronger and could reveal further structural information with a less hydrophilic anion than the chloride. Therefore we have determined the MVIE of the LiI as a function of temperature and concentration. The densities of normal and heavy water solutions of LiI have been measured with six-figure precision at T = (288.15, 298.15, and 308.15) K from (0.03 to 4) molal, m, using a vibrating-tube densitometer. The solvent isotope effect on the apparent molar volume, as well as on the solute and solvent partial molar volumes, was evaluated.As expected, with the rationalization of the MVIE of LiI instead of the geometric structural differences of the isotopic solvents, the energetic contributions have to be considered at all the temperatures investigated. At infinite dilution, a high degree of compensation between the reversed influences of the Li⁺ and I^? on the activities of the isotopic solvents determines the MVIE. By increasing concentration, the highly asymmetric energetic interactions of the Li⁺ and the I^? with the solvent apparently result in a “mutual salting-out” effect. At a concentration ≈0.7m, a uniquely abrupt structural rearrangement results in a “solvent-separated ion-pair” solution structure.     

Stabilisation of heterobimetallic networks by crown ethers and hydrogen-bonding in [Ni(H2O)6][Cu3Cl8(H2O)2] · (15-crown-5)2 · 2H2O: Structure and magnetism

[Ni(H₂O)₆][Cu₃Cl₈(H₂O)₂] · (15-crown-5)₂ · 2H₂O can be conveniently prepared by the interaction of NiCl₂ · 6H₂O, CuCl₂ · 2H₂O and 15-crown-5 in water. The X-ray crystal structure reveals an ionic complex involved in a hydrogen-bonded two dimensional network with the [Ni(H₂O)₆]²⁺ and [Cu₃Cl₈(H₂O)₂]²⁻ ions sandwiched between the 15-crown-5 macrocycles. The magnetic susceptibility data (4–300 K) and magnetisation isotherms (2–5.5 K; 0–5 T) are best interpreted in terms of intra-trimer ferromagnetic coupling within the [Cu₃Cl₈(H₂O)₂]²⁻ moieties, with J ∼ 6 cm⁻¹, and antiferromagnetic coupling between the trimers, the latter mediated by H-bonding pathways. Comparisons are made to other reported quaternary ammonium salts of [Cu₃Cl₈]²⁻ and [Cu₃Cl₁₂]⁶⁻, most of which display structures that involve close stacking of such Cu(II) trimers, rather than being of the present isolated, albeit H-bonded, types.
