Preparation,spectral and thermal studies of neodymium zirconyl oxalate hexahydrate

Neodymium zirconyl oxalate (NdZrOX) is prepared and characterized by chemical analysis and ir spectral studies. Its thermal decomposition has been investigated by using DTA, TG, DTG, X-ray diffraction and ir spectroscopy. On the basis of thermogravimetry and isothermal studies a probable mechanism for the decomposition is proposed. The decomposition proceeds mainly through three stages: i) dehydration between RT-413 K, ii) decomposition of oxalate between 413–943 K and iii) decomposition of the carbonate between 1028–1235 K to give a mixed oxide. The ir spectra and X-ray diffraction studies are made for identification of the intermediates. X-ray diffraction studies of the end product indicates that it belongs to cubic crystal system witha=11.520 Å.

Kinetics and mechanism of homogeneous catalytic oxidation of pyrocatechol in aqueous solutions containing Cu(II) and histidine

Kinetic studies of pyrocatechol oxidation by oxygen in weakly acidic aqueous solutions containing pyrocatechol, Cu(II) ions and histidine, indicate that the reaction involves mixed copper-pyrocatechol histidine complexes. The proposed mechanism of the process agrees with the kinetic relationships obtained.

Mechanism of methane photooxidation on V/SiO2 catalyst

CH₄ photooxidation on V/SiO₂ catalyst in the presence of gaseous oxygen has been studied by the mass-spectometric method. It has been established that CO₂ forms due to the interaction of CH₄ with surface oxygen anions bonded to vanadium ions. Photodecomposition of V⁴⁺O ₂ ^– species formed in O₂ adsorption on reduced vanadium ions leads to the reoxidation of the latter.

Termination rate constants of peroxy radicals of seven polyatomic esters in benzene and perflouorooctane media have been measured by pulse photolysis. Recombination of peroxy radicals for all esters examined proves to be diffusion controlled. Reactivity of peroxy radicals in the termination reaction grows with increasing number of ester groups.

Low selectivity of dehydrolinalyl acetate (DeHLA) hydrogenation into linalyl acetate and ester group detachment are predicted in accordance with quantum-chemical data obtained for its homologue dimethyl ethynyl carbinol acetate. Experimental data are confirmed by theoretical calculations. DeHLA hydrogenation produces a variety of products.

The direction of elimination in the pyrolysis kinetics of 3-bromobutyronitrile

The gas phase elimination of 3-bromobutyronitrile, examined in a static system and seasoned vessel, follows a first-order rate law. The reaction in the temperature range of 370.0–420.1°C and pressure range of 54–198 torr, is homogeneous and unimolecular. The temperature dependence of the rate coefficient is given by the equation: log k₁ (s^–1)=(13.74±0.25)–(213.7±3.2) kJ mol^–1 (2.303RT)^–1. The cyano substituent has been found to retard the elimination process through its electronwithdrawing resonance effect. Most of the dehydrobromination product is cis-trans-crotonitrile, while very little of allyl cyanide is obtained. This result is rationalized in terms of electronic factors.

On the dioximine complexes of transition metals

Twelve new complexes NH₄[Co(DH)₂(SO₃)(amine)]·t H₂O (DH ₂=dimethylglyoxime) have been synthesized and characterized. Their i.r. spectra show the SO₃ to be co-ordinated to the Co atom through the S atom. The thermal decompositions of a series of derivatives of this type have been investigated with a derivatograph. The first process is an endothermic dehydration reaction, occurring in a single stage or in two successive ones. The loss of the crystallization water is followed by another endothermic reaction, without a clear stoichiometry, which is referred to as deamination. At higher temperatures, exothermic pyrolysis processes occur. From the TG curves, kinetic parameters have been derived for the dehydration and deamination reactions.

Zusammenfassung Zwölf neue Komplexe der allgemeinen Formel NH₄[Co(DH)₂(SO₃)(amin)]·t H₂O (DH=Dimethylglyoxim) wurden synthetisiert und charakterisiert. Die IR-Spektren zeigen, daß SO₃ über das S-Atom koordinativ an das Co-Atom gebunden ist. Die thermische Zersetzung einer Reihe von Derivaten dieses Typs wurde mittels eines Derivatographen untersucht. Der erste Prozeß ist die in einem einzigen oder in zwei aufeinander folgenden Schritten verlaufende endotherme Dehydratisierung. Auf die Abgabe des Kristallwassers folgt eine andere endotherme Reaktion unklarer Stöchiometrie, die als Deaminierung bezeichnet wird. Bei höheren Temperaturen verlaufen exotherme Pyrolyseprozesse. Aus den TG-Kurven wurden kinetische Parameter für die Dehydratisierung und die Deaminierung bestimmt.

Kinetics of edta catalyzed oxidation of I? by Cr(VI)

The activity of various iron-containing ore catalysts during hydrogenation of Kansk-Achinsk lignite into liquid products in H-donor solvent (tetraline) has been studied. Ore samples contained pyrite, hematite and magnetite minerals. The most active appear to be pyrite samples. The catalytic effect of ore systems is, apparently, associated with the fact that during hydrogenation more active than tetraline H-donors are formed due to the hydrogenation of polycyclic aromatic molecules produced by thermal destruction of lignite.

The kinetics of thermal dehydration of Sr(HCOO)₂·2(H, D)₂O were investigated using a dynamic thermogravimetric technique. Differences were found when the hydrogen was partially substituted by deuterium. These differences were explained by means of a microscopic approach based on the static and dynamic microscopic properties.

Effect of stirring on the Belousov-Zhabotinskii reaction: A problem of interpretation

It is probable that different phenomena attributed to mechanical stirring during the Belousov-Zhabotinskii (BZ) reaction are caused by atmospheric oxygen and, as far as our experiments show, they have nothing to do with dissipative structures or with the turbulence of the reacting mixture.
