Determination of enthalpy of ionization of water from 250 to 350° C

The enthalpy changes at zero ionic strength (H°) for the ionization of water (H₂O=H⁺+OH^–) were determined by flow calorimetry from the heats of mixing of aqueous NaOH and HCl solutions in the temperature range 250 to 350°C. Pitzer ion-interaction models developed by other workers were used to calculate enthalpies of dilution of aqueous NaOH, HCl, and NaCl solutions for the extrapolation of H values from the conditions of the experiment to infinite dilution. Equations are derived for thermodynamic quantities (log K, H°, S°, C _p ^° and V°) for the ionization of water using the H° values determined in this study from 250 to 350°C and literature log K and H° values from 0 to 225°C. Smoothed values of log K, H°, S°, C _p ^° , and V° are presented at rounded temperatures from 0 to 350°C and at the saturation pressure of water for each temperature. The equations in the present study provide a better representation of experimental thermodynamic data from 0 to 350°C than the Marshall-Franck equation.     

Substituent effect and enthalpy-entropy compensation on the inclusion ofβ-cyclodextrin with 1-substituted naphthalenes

The inclusion complexation of-CD with 1-substituted naphthalenes has been investigated by fluorescence spectroscopy. It was observed that the association constants were influenced by the molar refraction (R _m), hydrophobic constant ( _x ), and Hammett constant ( _x ) of substituents in the guest compounds. The thermodynamic parameters G⁰, H ⁰, and S ⁰ determined by measuring the temperature-dependentK _a values shows that inclusion complex formation is enthalpy driven. The results are discussed in terms of enthalpy-entropy compensation.     

Thermodynamic study of solvent extraction of monovalent metal picrates with benzo-18-crown-6 into chloroform

Thermodynamic parameters (H _ex ⁰ and S _ex ⁰ ) for the overall extractions of monovalent metal (Na, K, Rb, and Tl) picrates with benzo-18-crown-6 (B18C6), and those (H _D,L ⁰ and S _D,L ⁰ ) for the distribution of B18C6 were determined between chloroform and water. All the extracted B18C6 complexes were l:1:1 complexes (B18C6:metal ion: picrate anion). The H _ex ⁰ and S _ex ⁰ values for all the metals are negative. Every extraction of the metal picrate with B18C6 is completely enthalpy driven. The H _D,L ⁰ and S _D,L ⁰ values of B18C6 are both positive, and the partition of B18C6 is entirely entropy driven. Enthalpy (H _ex,ip ⁰ ) and entropy changes (S _ex,ip ⁰ ) for ion-pair extractions of B18C6-metal ion complexes with picrate anions were calculated. All the H _ex,ip ⁰ and S _ex,ip ⁰ values are negative, and the ion-pair extractions are completely enthalpy driven.     

The position of plutonium/III/ in the lanthanide series in respect to thermodynamic functions of complex formation with nitrates and thiocyanates

The position of Pu/III/ within lanthanides in respect to G⁰, H⁰ and S⁰ of complex formation with nitrate and thiocyanate ligands was determined by the extraction method. It was found that in respect to G⁰, Pu/III/ is a light pseudolanthanide for nitrate ligands and a heavy pseudolanthanide for thiocyanate ligands. A comparison of the positions of Pu/III/ and Am/III/ in respect to G⁰, H⁰ and S⁰ shows that the radius of plutonium is greater than that of americium in the An/NO₃/ ₅ ^2– complex and smaller in the An/NCS/₃/TBP/_n complex. The increase in the radii between plutonium and americium in the thiocyanate complex points out to a contribution from 5f orbitals to bonding.     

NMR Study of Non-freezing Water in Protein-Modified Carbon Adsorbents

Temperature dependences of ¹H NMR spin–spin relaxation were studied for the non-freezing water at the surface of carbon matrices modified with proteins (human serum albumin (HSA) and mouse immunoglobulin (MIG)) in the presence of water-soluble carbodiimide. The entropy, S , and enthalpy, H , values characterizing molecular mobility in non-freezing water were estimated. The compensation effect was observed for all modified samples, which is well approximated by the linear dependence of the type H = T ₀S + H ₀. The compensation temperature T ₀ = 231 ± 33 corresponds to such a state of non-freezing water, when the effect of modifying additives on the isobaric potential of molecular mobility activation in the non-freezing water, G , is minimal. The G has approximately constant value equal to H ₀ = 24.2 ± 0.5 kJ/mol. Modification of the base carbon matrix with MIG protein results in higher structurization of the non-freezing water, whereas HSA reduces this structurization. The observed effects are explained in terms of the hydration of modifying agents and also by the peculiarities of their location on the surface of carbon adsorbent.     

Heats of solution of 1∶1 electrolytes in 1-propanol,and derived enthalpies of transfer from water

Heats of solution of 13 11 electrolytes in 1-propanol have been determined calorimetrically at various electrolyte concentrations, and extrapolated to zero concentration to give H _s ^o values for these electrolytes. Together with literature data on three additional 11 electrolytes, these measurements yield a self-consistent set of single-ion enthalpies of transfer from water to 1-propanol. Values are tabulated for 10 univalent cations and five univalent anions. It is shown that the H _t ^o (Ph ₄ As⁺)=H _t ^o (Ph ₄ B^–) assumption yields chemically reasonable single-ion values. Using this assumption, it may be deduced that all the univalent ions studied have about the same enthalpy in 1-propanol as in methanol.     

Enthalpies of dilution of aqueous electrolytes: The NaCl/H2O system

Analysis of enthalpy of dilution data for the system NaCl/H₂O at 298.15°K with correlating equations presently in widespread use shows that these do not satisfactorily fit the data at the lowest available concentrations. A new approach based on the extended Debye-Hückel theory is suggested. It is shown that a plot of the ratio of the apparent molar enthalpy of dilution to the change in ionic strength, L/I, versus (I _i ^1/2 –I _f ^1/2 )/I, should give a straight line at low enough concentration with a slope 2S _H/3. The intercept is related to the Debye distance parameterA and the coefficient of the first virial correction term. The quantityS _H is the limiting Debye slope as calculated from the properties of the pure solvent. These expectations are substantiated by the fits. Values of the parameters are compared with older estimates, and it is concluded that the choiceA=0 is reasonable.     

Thermodynamics of protonation of amino acid carboxylate groups from 50 to 125°C

Flow calorimetry has been used to study the interaction of glycine, DL--alanine, DL-2-aminobutyric acid, -alanine, 4-aminobutyric acid, and 6-aminocaproic acid with protons in aqueous solutions from 323.15 K to 398.15 K and at 1.52 MPa. LogK, H°, S°, and C _p ^° for the protonation of the carboxylate groups of these amino acids have been obtained at each temperature studied. Equations are given expressing these values as functions of temperature. The protonation reactions are exothermic at lower temperatures and become endothermic as temperature increases. The logK, H°, and S° values are close together over the temperature range studied for the protonation of -amino acids, i.e., glycine, DL--alanine, and 2-aminobutyric acid. At each temperature, the magnitudes of these thermodynamic quantities increase as the number of methylene groups between the amino group and the carboxylate group increases. The C _p ^° value for the protonation of the carboxyl group is found to lie between those of an isocoulombic reaction and a charge reduction reaction. At 323.15 K, the protonation reactions of the carboxylate groups have larger C _p ^° values which approach those associated with charge reduction reactions. As the temperature increases, C _p ^° decreases and approaches those found for isocoulombic reactions. This result is explained by considering long-range and short-range solvent effects. The trend in H° and S° with temperature and with charge separation in the zwitterions is interpreted in terms of solvent-solute interactions and the electrostatic interaction of the two oppositely charged groups within the molecule.

Features of the Tautomerism of Some α-Substituted Pyridines

The AM1 quantum-chemical semi-empirical method was used to calculate the values of the enthalpy of activation (H^#), the heats of reaction (H), and the tautomeric equilibrium constants (K_T) for several -substituted pyridines. It was found that the keto-enol tautomeric conversion in -pyridone occurs more readily than the amino-imino conversion in 2-aminopyridine but in 2-methylpyridine the tautomeric equilibrium does not exist at all.     

Kinetics of photoreduction of 9,10-phenanthrenequinone in the presence of amines and polymethylbenzenes

A study of the kinetics of photoreduction of 9,10-phenanthrenequinone in the presence of hydrogen donors (para-substituted N,N-dimethylanilines and polymethylbenzenes) showed that plots of the quantum yield of photoreduction (_H) and apparent reaction rate constant (k _H) vs. oxidation potential of hydrogen donors are extreme. In the presence of amines, k _H and _H increase, as a whole, whereas they decrease in the presence of polymethylbenzenes. In coordinates _H-G _e (G _e is the change in the free energy of electron transfer) for pairs quinone-H donor, _H increases with G _e approaching to zero. For the amine series, this effect is mainly in the exothermic region of G _e (G _e < 0). For the series of polymethylbenzenes, this increase is observed in the endothermic region (G _e > 0).__________Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Sorption of C6 Alkanes in Aluminophosphate Molecular Sieve, AlPO4-5

Sorption of C₆ alkanes viz.,n-hexane, 2-methylpentane, 2,2-dimethyl butane, 2,3-dimethyl butane, cyclohexane and methyl cyclopentane in AlPO₄-5 is studied and sorption capacity and thermodynamic parameters (H⁰, H, G, S and S_a) at various sorption coverage for these sorbates have been estimated. The initial heat of sorption (H⁰) is found to increase with the degree of branching in the alkane chain. The sorbate-sorbate interactions are found to be more prominent during the sorption of doubly branched alkanes and cyclic alkanes and a higher sorption capacity has been observed for cyclic alkanes. Based on the results obtained, a packing model has been proposed for various C₆ alkanes inside the AlPO₄-5 channel.     

Study on the Melting Process of Nitrocellulose by Thermal Analysis Method

The melting process of NC is studied by using modulated differential scanning calorimetry (MDSC) technique, the microscope carrier method for measuring the melting point and the simultaneous device of the solid reaction cell in situ/RSFT-IR. The results show that the endothermic process in the MDSC curve is reversible. It is caused by the phase change from solid to liquid of the mixture of initial NC, decomposition partly into condensed phase products. The values of the melting point, melting enthalpy (H_m), melting entropy (S_m), the enthalpy of decomposition (H_dec) and the heat-temperature quotient (S_dec) obtained by the MDSC curve of NC at a heating rate of 10 K min^–1 are 476.84 K, 205.6 J g^–1, 0.4312 J g^–1 K^–1, –2475.0 J g^–1 and –5.242 Jg^–1K^–1, respectively. The MDSC results of NC with different nitrogen contents show that with increasing the nitrogen content in NC, the absolute values of H_m, S_m, H_dec and S_dec increase.This revised version was published online in November 2005 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Thermodynamics of surfactant-dye complex formation in aqueous solutions II. Sodium dodecyl sulfate and some azo oil dye systems

Spectrophotometric and thermodynamic investigations are reported of the interactions between anionic surfactant (sodium dodecyl sulfate) and six azo oil dyes (benzene azo naphthalene type) which have an amino group at 4-position of naphthalene. A pronounced spectral change in the dye solution occurs on addition of surfactant. For increasingly surfactant concentrations (below the CMC), the interaction between dye and surfactant is so sharp that the systems may be said to exhibit an isosbestic point; then a new absorption band appears at longer wavelengths. The spectral data can be quantitatively interpreted in terms of a complex formation. The equilibrium coefficients of the complex formation are determined at different temperatures. The thermodynamic parameters of the complex formations (the free energy change (G), enthalpy change (H) and change in entropy (S) are also calculated. The reaction of complex formation is exothermic (H negative).G is dependent on the hydrophobic nature andpKa of the dye. These complexes will form due to hydrophilic-hydrophilic interaction and will become more stable due to hydrophobic-hydrophobic interaction.With increasing amounts of complex, the infinite adsorption, the exhaustion and the rate constant of dyeing for nylon decrease.

The activity and activity coefficients of the components of the NaNO₂-KNO₃ system, determined from the experimental data on the saturated vapor pressure at 798, 823, and 848 K, are used to calculate the relative and excess partial molar Gibbs energies (G _i and G _i ^{e x c}), entropies (S _i and S _i ^{e x c}), and integral relative and excess thermodynamic functions (G, G ^{e x c}, S, and S ^{e x c}) of the system.     

The Influence of Dimerization of Water-Soluble Metalloporphyrins as Photosensitizers on the Efficiency of Generation of Singlet Oxygen

Quantum yields () for the generation of singlet oxygen sensitized by Pd(II) complexes of water-soluble porphyrins: meso-tetrakis(4-N-methylpyridyl)porphine [PdTMPyP]⁴⁺ ( = 0.9), meso-tetrakis(4-N,N,N-trimethylaminophenyl)porphine [PdTTMAPP]⁴⁺ ( = 0.8), meso-tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl)porphine [PdTCPP]^4– ( = 0.7), and meso-tetrakis(4-sulfonatophenyl)porphine [PdTSPP]^4– ( = 0.5) were determined using a chemical method. It was found that the dimerization and aggregation of metalloporphyrins greatly influence the value. The quantum yields evaluated for the formation of singlet oxygen sensitized by metalloporphyrin monomeric and dimeric forms are _{, M} 0.9 and _{, D} 0.2, respectively, and do not depend on the porphyrin nature.     

Enthalpies of formation of amidyl free radicals

The enthalpies of formation (#x0394;H°_f) of twenty-one amidyl radical (R) belonging to the formamidyl homological series were calculated using the published values of R—H bond dissociation energies. Among them, the H°_f values of nine radicals were first calculated and those of eight radicals were refined. Most of the H°_f values of corresponding starting molecules RH (H°_f(RH)) were obtained using the macroincrementing schemes. Based on the group additivity scheme, the structure—enthalpy of formation relationships for the radicals considered were examined, the H°_f(R) values were analyzed, and their reliability was confirmed. Parameters for calculating the H°_f values of radicals belonging to this homologous series were suggested.Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Relativistic perturbation theory of molecular structure

Summary The recently developed relativistic double perturbation theory is extended to handle relativistic changes of molecular structure more easily. This is achieved by simple coordinate scalings. Accurate higher order mixed perturbation energies for H ₂ ⁺ are calculated. The relativistic changes of bond energy,DE, of bond length,R _e , and especially of force constant,k, and of anharmonicity,a, are large, up to 100%·(Z/c)². The dominant contributions tok anda are due to the indirect change of the nonrelativistick anda connected with the relativistic change of bond length. Accordingly the relativistic changes obey Badger's and Gordy's rules (–RDEk).Dedicated to Prof. Klaus Ruedenberg in appreciation of his fundamental contributions to both formal theory and physical explanations in quantum chemistry
