Effect of water on the desorption of carbon dioxide from the surface of alumina

Based on investigations of temperature-programmed desorption of CO₂ from -Al₂O₃ surface, three forms of CO₂ adsorption differing considerably in quantitative contributions and temperature ranges of desorption have been distinguished. A significant inhibiting influence of water on CO₂ adsorption has been observed. Water adsorption results in gradual blocking of high and medium-energy adsorptive centers of CO₂ on -Al₂O₃.

Décomposition thermique du sulfite de fer(II) anhydre

Résumé Sous azote ou sous vide, le sulfite ferreux anhydre se décompose vers 210° en magnétite, pyrite et dioxyde de soufre. Concurremment une réaction de dismutation intervient avec formation de FeSO₄, Fe₃O₄ et FeS₂. Lorsque la température atteint 320°, la pyrite et le sulfate réagissent ensemble pour donner Fe_1–xS, Fe₃O₄ et SO₂. Au-delà de 370° le sulfure ferreux non-stchiométrique commence à réagir à son tour avec le sulfate restant pour former de la magnetite et du dioxyde de soufre.

In nitrogen or under vacuum, anhydrous iron(II) sulfite decomposes near 210° to magnetite, pyrite and sulfur dioxide. A parallel disproportionation reaction occurs with formation of FeSO₄, Fe₃O₄ and FeS₂. When the temperature reaches 320°, pyrite and sulfate react together to give Fe_1–xS, Fe₃O₄ and SO₂. Above 370° the non-stoichiometric ferrous sulfide begins to react with the remaining sulfate to give magnetite and sulfur dioxide.

A temperature programmed desorption study of H2 from supported nickel catalyst

The chemisorption of hydrogen on Ni/SiO₂ has been studied by measuring temperature programmed desorption on various samples under various experimental conditions. Two peaks are found, which can be related to a weakly and to a strongly bound species of chemisorbed hydrogen. Their analysis has been performed by a method which makes possible to determine whether a certain kinetic model can describe the entire desorption process or to assign a clear meaning to the corresponding kinetic parameters.

Selective hydrogenation of acrylonitrile over a supported Ni catalyst

Acrylonitrile can be selectively hydrogenated into propionitrile at about 400 K over a ceramic-supported Ni catalyst. At low surface coverages, the observed rates of hydrogenation are proportional to the first powers of the partial pressures of both acrylonitrile and dihydrogen, in agreement with Langmuir-Hinshelwood kinetics.

Molecular Recognition Based on Roof-shaped Diol Hosts. X-Ray Crystal Structures of Inclusion Compounds with Methanol, Pyridine and Toluene

Three crystalline inclusion compounds of roof-shapedtrans-11,12-bis(diaryl-hydroxymethyl)-9,10-dihydro-9,10-ethanoanthracene host molecules [where aryl is 4-methyl-phenyl (3) or4-t-butylphenyl (4)] have been studied by X-ray diffraction.The crystals of both the 3methanol (2 : 1) [a = 10.755(1),b = 11.571(1), c = 14.697(2) Å, = 75.12(1), = 89.67(1), = 87.13(1) °] and the 4-pyridine (2 : 3) compounds[a = 14.045(3), b = 14.366(3), c = 15.607(3) Å, = 91.62(1), = 103.65(1) and =116.05(1)°] are triclinic (P–1),while the 3toluene (1 : 1) complex has orthorhombic (Fddd) symmetry [a = 16.041(1), b = 25.008(1), c = 40.440(4) Å]. The host–guest interactions in both triclinic crystals are characterised by hydrogen bonds, with different patterns however. The determined crystal structures indicate a compromise between the requirement of hydrogen bonding on the one hand and close packing on the other. The highly symmetrical host framework in the toluene (1 : 1) complex of 3 seems to be the result of shape recognition, although atendency towards weak (C_methyl)H _arylinteractions [C_methyl = 3.533(7) and 3.674(6) Å] between the hosts was observed. The present roof-shaped diol hosts give excellent examples of molecular recognition by exhibiting two significantly different conformations, mostly depending on the proton donor/acceptor ability of the guest component. (O)H O intramolecular bonding between the two alcoholic groups characterises the so-called active form, whereas weaker (O)H and interactions stabilise the `inactive'conformation.     

Kinetics of the thermal dehydration of variscite and specific surface area of the solid decomposition products

The surface properties of active solids resulting from decomposition of AlPO₄ · 2 H₂O by thermal treatment in vacuum and in air are studied in connection with the parameter governing the kinetics of the dehydration process. The values obtained for the activation energies of decomposition under isothermal conditions agree acceptably well with those computed from TG curves by the Freeman and Carroll method. Kinetic results, which are analysed in terms of the Mampel theory, strongly suggest that the activation energy of the nucleation process determines the rate of surface formation, and justify the observed fact that the specific surface areas of samples treated in vacuum are higher than those of samples treated in air.

Zusammenfassung Die Oberflächenbeschaffenheiten der aktiven Festkörper, welche bei der thermischen Behandlung im Vakuum oder in Luft als Zersetzungsprodukte von AlPO₄ · 2 H₂O entstehen, werden im Zusammenhang mit dem die Kinetik des Dehydratisierungsvorganges steuernden Parameter studiert. Die bei isothermen Bedingungen für die Aktivierungsenergien der Zersetzung erhaltenen Werte sind in befriedigender übereinstimmung mit denjenigen, welche mittels der Methode von Freeman und Carroll aus den TG-Kurven errechnet wurden. Die gemäß der Mampel-Theorie analysierten kinetischen Ergebnisse lassen darauf schließen, daß die Aktivierungsenergie der Nukleationsvorgänge die Geschwindigkeit der Oberflächen-Entstehung bedingt und rechtfertigen die Beobachtung, nach welcher die spezifische Oberfläche vakuumbehandelter Proben größer ist als die der luftbehandelten.

Résumé On étudie les propriétés de surface des solides actifs provenant de la décomposition de AlPO₄ · 2 H₂O par traitement sous vide et dans l'air et on les rapporte aux paramètres gouvernant la cinétique du processus de déshydratation. Les valeurs obtenues en conditions isothermes pour les énergies d'activation de la décomposition sont en accord acceptable avec celles calculées à partir des courbes TG par la méthode de Freeman et Carroll. Les résultats cinétiques qui sont analysés dans le sens de la théorie de Mampel font conclure que c'est l'énergie d'activation du processus de nucléation qui détermine la vitesse de la formation de la surface; ils justifient le fait observé que la surface spécifique des échantillons traités sous vide est plus grande que celle des échantillons traités dans l'air.

Kinetic isotope effect in trans-alkylation with ethylbenezene

Kinetic isotope effect (KIE) measurements in the trans-alkylation of toluene and benzene with ethylbenzene in hexane in the presence of AlBr₃ at 313 K indicate that deuterium in the toluene methyl group causes a small inverse KIE characteristic for a -complex transiton state. The small direct KIE found for the reaction with C₂D₅C₆H₅ does not agree with a mechanism involving alkyl-and -phenylalkyl cations.

On the dynamic mechanical behavior of nylon 66

Summary The dynamic mechanical properties of nylon 66 films and fibers have been examined, as a function of annealing and drawing, with a Vibron viscoelastometer. It is found that the transition is little affected by annealing treatments, but increase in orientation causes the transition to move to a higher temperature. Experiments, with X-ray diffraction of samples at elevated temperatures, lead to the conclusion that the triclinic to hexagonal phase change does not contribute significantly to the transition. Samples cut parallel and perpendicular to the drawing direction of nylon 66 film, have been used to show that the curves of dynamic tensile modulus versus temperature, for the parallel and perpendicular directions, cross in the neighborhood of the transition. This observation is discussed in relation to the suggestion that the transition is the glass transition in nylon 66.

Zusammenfassung Die dynamisch-mechanischen Eigenschaften von Filmen und Fasern aus Nylon 66 wurden als Funktion der Temperung und Verstreckung mit einem Virbon-Viskoelastometer untersucht. Die -Umwandlung wird wenig durch die Temperung beeinflußt, aber erhöhte Orientierung läßt siezu höheren Temperaturen verlagern. Messungen der Röntgenstreuung bei erhöhten Temperaturen führen zu dem Schluß, daß der Übergang triklin/hexagonal nicht wesentlich zu der -Umwandlung beiträgt. Proben aus verstrecktem Nylon-66-Film, parallel und senkrecht zur Streckrichtung geschnitten, zeigen, daß die Kurven des dynamischenE-Moduls gegen die Temperatur für beide Orientierungen sich in der Nachbarschaft der -Umwandlung überkreuzen. Diese Beobachtung wird hinsichtlich der Vermutung diskutiert, daß die -Umwandlung den Glasübergang in Nylon 66 darstellt.

The quest for a stable silyne, RSi ≡ CR′. The effect of bulky substituents [1]

The two major fundamental obstacles which so far have prevented theisolation of stable silynes, RSiCR (1), are: (a)the existence of more stable isomers, e.g., RRC=Si: (2) and(b) their extremely facile (exothermic) dimerication. The steric andelectronic effects of various substituents R and R (R = alkoxy,alkyl, aryl and silyl; R = alkyl and aryl groups) on the stability ofRSiCR relative to the isomeric RRC=Si:(E(1-2)), and on the energy of dimerization tothe corresponding 1,3-disilacyclobutadienes (E(D)), werestudied computationally using density functional theory (DFT) and theONIOM method. The goal was to find a combination of substituents thatwill make RSiCR more stable than RRC=Si: and whichwill also prevent its dimerization. For R = R = H,E(1-2)) = 40.7 kcal/mol (i.e., 2 islower in energy than 1), and E(D) = –104.0kcal/mol. 1, R = OH, R = m-Tbt 2,6-bis[bis(silyl)methyl]phenyl, is by 11.1 kcal/mol morestable than the isomeric silylidene 2. However, thedimerization of 1, R = OH, R = m-Tbt remains highlyexothermic (by 101 kcal/mol). 1, R = R = m-Tbt and1, R = (t-Bu)₃Si, R = m-Tbt, are by 5.8 and 2.0kcal/mol, respectively, less stable than the corresponding 2.However, the dimerization of 1, R = (t-Bu)₃Si, = m-Tbt is exothermic by only 12 kcal/mol. For1, R = (t-Bu)₃Si, and R = Tbt 2,6-bis[bis(trimethylsilyl)methyl]phenyl, the corresponding1,3-disilacyclobutadiene dimer 3, dissociates spontaneously.Thus, (t-Bu₃Si)SiCTbt is predicted to be kineticallystable towards both, isomerization to (t-Bu₃Si)TbtC=Si: anddimerization to 3, making it a viable synthetic target. Thereported energies were calculated atB3LYP/6-31G^**//B3LYP/3-21G^*; good agreement is found betweenthe DFT and the ONIOM results.

Liquid phase CO+H2 reactions in presence of ruthenium catalysts

Several effects on the hydrogenation of carbon monoxide in propanol in presence of ruthenium catalysts are examined. The homologation reaction is not observed, only propyl formate and propyl acetate are produced with any ruthenium catalyst. The pH-value is an important parameter: in acid media, the yield of propyl formate is noticeably increased indicating different catalytic active species. The addition of cesium salts is also benefitial for formate formation. This is not the case when water is associated with propanol as solvent. Finally, no ethylene glycol is detected. The process is found to be homogeneous and methanol seems to be the precursor of methyl formate.
