Effect of Thallium Adatoms on Electrode Processes in the System Gold–Cyanide Solutions

The possibility of determining kinetic parameters of the gold electrodeposition in the presence of thallium adatoms is considered. The coverage of the electrode surface by thallium adatoms is monitored. The steady-state values of potential used correspond to current densities i that are directly proportional to the concentration of thallium ions in solution. The procedure is based on the assumption that the rate of incorporation of adatoms is proportional to the product i. With increasing to 0.25, the exchange current and transfer coefficient increase from 5 × 10^–5 A cm^–2 and 0.23 in pure solutions to1.5 × 10^–4 A cm² and 0.6 at = 0.25–0.3, whereas the reaction order by cyanide ions remains practically invariant with increasing . Variations in the kinetic parameters with are compared to similar measurements obtained earlier for the anodic process. These may be made consistent by assuming that mechanisms of cathodic and anodic reactions differ in pure solutions and are identical in the presence of catalytically active adatoms. An explanation to the above regularities is given.     

Ferromagnetism of Two-Bridge Clusters

A generalized model of angular overlapping was used to analyze the magnetic properties of polynuclear complexes. The structural elements of these complexes contain planar binuclear fragments of the M(LR)₂M type. The maximum ferromagnetism for the monoatomic bridges corresponds to = MLM, which is about 100°. Weak planar interactions between L and R displace the ferromagnetism maximum towards lower , while interactions shift it towards higher . In almost all cases, strong planar interactions (LLR 180°) are responsible for strong antiferromagnetism.     

IR and thermal studies on lithium oxomolybdenum(VI) oxalate

A new molybdenum(VI) complex, Li₂[Mo₂O₆(C₂O₄)] · 2 H₂O (LMO), was prepared and characterized by chemical analysis and IR spectral studies. Its thermal decomposition was studied by using TG and DTA techniques. LMO loses its two moles of water between 75 and 170° to give the anhydrous product, which decomposes in three stages between 240 and 380°. The first two stages occur in the temperature ranges 240–280° and 280–305°, to give intermediates with the tentative compositions Li₆[Mo₆O₁₉(C₂O₄)₂] and Li₆[Mo₆O₂₀(C₂O₄)], respectively. In the third stage, which extends up to 380°, Li₆[Mo₆O₂₀(C₂O₄)] decomposes to give the end-product, Li₂Mo₂O₇.

Evaluation of energy distribution on a heterogeneous surface from heat of adsorption and its application to the ammonia/Na-Y zeolite system

The— function (energy level function) which represents surface heterogeneity was derived from theq— function (experimental heat function) in the case of reversible adsorption. The Langmuir equation was extended and applied to the procedure of calculations. An iterative calculation led to the most probable— function by setting theq— function and adsorption temperature. As an example for actual cases, the— function of Na-Y zeolite was calculated from theq— function obtained by the measurement of heats of adsorption of ammonia at 373 K. The— function thus derived seemed to be consistent with the positional distribution of sodium ions.     

Kinetics of Gold Electrodeposition from Cyanide Electrolytes at a Monitored Surface Coverage by Thallium Atoms

A procedure for measuring kinetic parameters of gold electrodeposition in the presence of catalytically active thallium(I) ions while monitoring the coverage of the gold surface by thallium adatoms, , is described. The procedure accounts for the duration of contact between a freshly renewed surface of gold and a thallium-containing solution and assumes that the incorporation rate of thallium adatoms is proportional to and the current density of gold electrodeposition. At = const, kinetic dependences correspond to the Tafel equation. Values of and i ₀ increase with . At = 0.3, 0.6 and i ₀ 3 × 10^–4 A cm^–2, which conforms to values calculated from anodic curves obtained in similar conditions.     

Interaction between metal and support: Effects of support acidity on adspecies of co over Ru

Supported Ru/X catalysts (X: SiO₂, Al₂O₃, SiO₂·Al₂O₃, HY) have been investigated by IR and TPR (temperature programmed reduction). Due to interaction between Ru and Lewis or Brönsted sites of the support, the Ru sites become electron-deficient. Stronger acidity of the support makes the Ru sites more electron-deficient, and as a result, adspecies of Ru⁺ (CO)₄ or Ru⁺(CO)₂ can occur more easily.

Effect of water on hydrogen desorption from the surface of Rh/C catalysts

An increase in the number of titration cycles results in a considerable decrease in H_T and O_T values, which in turn, brings about a decrease in the amount of desorbed hydrogen. This shows that water, being a product of titration reaction, is adsorbed on the oxidized surface of rhodium and represents a kinetic-diffusive barrier for hydrogen titration.

Reduction by hydrogen transfer processes, II. Reduction of substituted derivatives of benzaldehyde

In the present paper, date are reported on transfer hydrogenation of aromatic aldehydes with commercial and synthetic Pd catalysts, based on SiO₂–AlPO₄ (2080 mass). Cyclohexenes and ,-unsaturated alcohols have been tested as hydrogen donors. The reaction products obtained upon reduction of benzaldehyde were benzyl alcohol and toluene (hydrogenation) and benzene and formaldehyde (hydrogenolysis), while methyl, ethoxycarbonyl and hydroxyl groups also present are not affected by the reaction. The selectivity towards each product depends on both the hydrogen donor and the catalyst used. When electron-donor substituents exist on the substrate, a decrease of the reaction rate towards the hydrogenolysis products is observed.

Adsorption Isotherm Accounting for the Electrode Elasticity: Special Solutions

The single-phase adsorption on a solid electrode out of a dilute solution is investigated. As a continuation of the previous paper, on the basis of the complete electrocapillarity equation, an adsorption isotherm equation is derived and supplemented by equations of compatibility of the physical quantities. The equations contain a new parameter, , which is a derivative of the dimensionless surface adsorbate concentration by the relative variation of the electrode surface area. Their solution is obtained in relation to the dimensionless charge density of the electrode surface q for the case of = (). As a result of employing a linear model for q by , the problem of determination of the unknown model functions is reduced to common differential equations that use the capacitance or estance curves as the boundary conditions. In the first case, we suggest to calculate the unknown integration parameter by the method of mathematical optimization, employing coulometric data.

Wettability of Microstructured Hydrophobic Sol-Gel Coatings

The formation of appropriate surface patterns on hydrophobic surfaces leads to a general change in their wettability and the contact angle increases substantially. Such coatings are of great technical interest, especially if aqueous media are concerned as in the prevention of ice-adhesion. For this reason various fluorine containing nanocomposite coatings have been developed by sol-gel processing.The morphology of these hydrophobic surfaces has been controlled by varying the content of silica particles regarding size, degree of aggregation, and concentration. The wettability is characterized by the measurement of dynamic contact angles against water. The complete range of different wettability regimes is accessible, i.e. smooth surfaces (both low advancing contact angle and hysteresis between advancing and receding contact angle), surfaces within the Wenzel regime (high advancing contact angle and hysteresis), and superhydrophobic surfaces (high advancing contact angle and low hysteresis). The wettability is correlated with the surface roughness as determined using a profilometer or AFM.The wettability of superhydrophobic surfaces is greatly dependent on the surface tension of the liquid. By comparison of the tiltangle _t of a smooth and a superhydrophobic surface, a critical surface tension _c is identified, where _t (smooth surface) = _t (microstructured surface). The microstructured surface provides a better run-off of liquids _lg > _c 55 mN·m^–1.     

Reaction scheme in the non-isothermal decomposition of (C6H5NH3)4Mo8O26 · 2 H2O

The thermogravimetric decomposition of anilinum octamolybdate has been studied under non-isothermal conditions to elucidate the chemical reactions taking place in the first step of decomposition of the anhydrous compound.The decomposition products were analyzed by gas-liquid chromatography, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS), infrared spectroscopy and X-ray powder diffraction.The main decomposition product of aniline turned out to be indole, which is different from the major product in the isothermal decomposition at the same temperature, i.e. N-ethyl-aniline.A dehydrocyclization reaction is suggested as the rate-dependent process. This is probably due to the catalytic effect of the octamolybdate anion.

Zusammenfassung Die thermische Zersetzung von Anilinoctamolybdat wurde unter nicht-isothermen Bedingungen thermogravimetrisch untersucht, um die im ersten Zersetzungsschritt der wasserfreien Verbindung verlaufenden chemischen Reaktionen aufzuklären. Die Zersetzungsprodukte wurden mittels Gas-Flüssigkeits-Chromatographie, Gaschromatographie-Massenspektrometrie (GC/MS), Infrarotspektroskopie und Röntgendiffraktometrie analysiert. Als Hauptprodukt der Zersetzung von Anilin wurde Indol gefunden, während bei isothermer Zersetzung bei gleicher Temperatur vorwiegend N-Äthylanilin entsteht. Es wird angenommen, daß beim nicht-isothermen Prozeß eine wahrscheinlich durch das Octamolybdat katalysierte Dehydrocyclisierungsreaktion verläuft.
