NMR Study of the Stoichiometry, Stability, and Ligand Interchange of Silver Ion-Hexathia-18-crown-6 Complex in Binary Dimethyl Sulfoxide Solvent Mixtures at 300 K

Proton NMR was used to study the complexation reaction between silver ion and hexathia-18-crown-6 in a number of binary mixed solvents of dimethyl sulfoxide with acetonitrile and methanol. Formation constants for the resulting 1:1 complexes in different solvent mixtures were determined by computer fitting of the chemical shift-mole ratio data. The influence of solvent composition on the stability of the resulting complex is discussed. The exchange kinetics of Ag⁺-hexathia-18-crown-6 in 70-30 wt.% dimethyl sulfoxide-acetonitrile and 75-25 wt.% dimethyl sulfoxide-methanol were studied by proton NMR line-shape analysis. In both solvent mixtures, the exchange of thiacrown ether between the free and complexed sites was found to proceed via a dissociative pathway. The exchange rates and the activation parameters E _a, H , S, and G for the ligand exchange were determined and the influence of solvent properties on these parameters discussed.     

New substrates in Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction employing mixed media

Several substrates have been employed in different oscillatory systems. A serious limitation is the low solubility in water. This has been overcome by employing aqueous-organic mixed media in the iodate-system as well as the uncatalyzed and catalyzed [Ce(III) or Ferroin] systems. The present paper deals with the study of fifteen new substrates in the bromate-Mn(II) oscillatory system employing aqueous-organic mixed media.

The interaction of organoaluminium compounds with phosphine complexes of Ni(II), Ni(I) and Ni(0) has been studied under the conditions of catalytic propylene dimerization. The active complexes are formed from Ni(II) compounds, the regeneration of the latter is ensured by repeated reduction, oxidation of Ni(0) to Ni(I), and by disproportionation of Ni(I) into Ni(II) and Ni(0).

     

Kinetics and mechanism of TI(III) oxidation of cellobiose in acidic medium

TI(III) oxidation of cellobiose in the presence of H₂SO₄ in aqueous acetic acid is first order in each reactant and is acid catalyzed. TI(OAc) ₂ ⁺ is the active species. Products identified are gluconic acid and glucose. A mechanism consistent with the temperature, solvent, acidity and salt effects is been proposed.

Catalytic properties of nickel oxide and its solid solutions in magnesium oxide in hydrogen oxidation

Temperature dependence of the reaction rate of H₂ oxidation on nickel oxide and solid solutions of nickel ions in MgO prepared at 573–1373 K, has been studied. The variation of the catalytic properties with temperature is attributed to the presence of nickel ions in different oxidation states simultaneously, i. e. Ni(II) and Ni(III).

Kinetics of the thermal decomposition of alkaline earth metal hydrofluorides

The thermal stability of alkaline earth metal hydrofluorides was studied by means of a Derivatograph. The values of the activation energy, reaction order and rate constant were determined. The comparison of the kinetic parameters of the decomposition process for the complete series of hydrofluorides studied led to a certain regularity in the differences in their thermal stabilities and its correlation with the strength of the hydrogen bond in their structure.

Measurement of thermal constants of calcium chromite by Laser Flash method

Calcium chromite, CaCr₂O₄, was prepared and its purity and stoichiometry were ascertained by chemical analysis and X-ray diffraction methods. The thermal diffusivity, specific heat capacity and thermal conductivity of calcium chromite were measured by Laser Flash method using an Ulvac-Sinku Riko TC-3000 series instrument in the temperature range of 298 to 1100 K. The heat capacity data were utilised to calculate the thermodynamic parametersenthalpy increments, entropy increments and free energy increments—in the above temperature range.

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.
