Effect of magnetic order on the conductivity in Co-Zn ferrites

A series of samples in the system Co_1–xZn_xFe₂O₄ (x=0.3, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 and 1) were prepared by the usual ceramic technique. The D. C. electrical resistivity and thermoelectric power were measured in the temperature range from room temperature up to about 600 K. Transition from the ferrimagnetic region to the paramagnetic region is accompanied by an increase in the activation energy by an amountE, which varies in the range 0.052–0.090 eV. The large values ofE obtained may be due to the fairly strong B-B exchange interaction in Co-Zn ferrites.

Zusammenfassung Mittels üblicher Keramiktechniken wurden Proben des Systemes Co₁–xZn_xFe₂O₄ unterschiedlicher Zusammensetzung (x=0,3, 0,4, 0,6, 0,8, 1,0) dargestellt. Im Temperaturbereich Raumtemperatur-600 K wurde der elektrische Widerstand gegenüber Gleichstrom sowie die Thermospannung dieser Proben ermittelt. Der Übergang von der ferrimagnetischen zur paramagnetischen Region wird von einem Anwachsen der Aktivierungsenergie um den BetragE=0,052–0,090 eV begleitet. Den so erhaltenen grossen E-Werten liegen wahrscheinlich die ziemlich starken B-B Austausch Wechselwirkungen in Co-Zn Ferriten zu Grunde.

A structural study of the naringin-β-cyclodextrin complex

The structure of the inclusion complex formed between naringin (naringenin-7-O--neohesperidoside) and-cyclodextrin (BCD) was studied in detail by UV and NMR spectroscopic techniques and potentiometry. A binding constant value of 1016±150M^–1 was arrived at from UV studies. Potentiometric studies showed that pK values of 4-OH and 5-OH were affected by and-cyclodextrins. One-dimensional difference NOE and spin-lattice relaxation time (T ₁) measurements indicated that the aglycone protion was affected more than the neohesperidoside portion. TheT ₁ values analysed for local motions indicated that _c values of complexed naringin was higher than that of free naringin. The internal rotation calculated for different groups showed _i values for the phenolic and dihydrobenzopyran portion decrease by a factor of 2. Also a value of 0.12–0.17 observed for the aglycone portion indicated that the coupling between guest and host is weak. All the studies have shown that the disposition in which the phenol group at 2 is inside the BCD cavity with 4-keto and 5-OH hydrogen bonded to the secondary hydroxyl groups at the rim of the wider end of the BCD cavity is the most probable one.     

Quantitative DTA of epoxy adhesives of technological interest

The glass transition temperatures,T _g, and thermal effects of polymerization,H, have been determined for five epoxy adhesives of unknown composition. From the trendsH vs./t _cure it has been possible to attain a phenomenological kinetic order of the polymerization rate at 100° through an iterative calculation procedure. For most of the investigated adhesives there are reasons (double peak of polymerization and doubleT _g signal) to assume that they are graft copolymers.

Thermal and x-ray studies of binary rare earth sesquioxides — Alkali metal persulfate systems

Three binary systems, each consisting of mixtures of different molar ratios of a rare earth (4f metal) sesquioxide and sodium or potassium persulfate (peroxodisulfate) have been investigated under static (air) atmospheres using a derivatograph. For each system (R₂O₃ - M₂S₂O₈, whereR is Sm, Gd, or Dy, andM is K or Na), the molar ratios that represent stoichiometric reactions were fixed. Calculations were based on data obtained from T, TG, DTG and DTA curves. Intermediate and final products were mainly identified by X-ray diffractometry. Double salts of Sm, Gd, and Dy were thermally prepared by solid-state reactions. It was found that one such double salt KDy(SO₄)₂, forms a eutectic mixture with K₂SO₄ and also that both Gd and Dy sesquioxides behave asp-type semiconductors and therefore exhibit catalytic activities towards the thermal decomposition of persulfates and pyrosulfates. Optimal catalysis was obtained with molar ratios of 13. The activities increased as the ionic radii of these metals decrease: Sm, Gd, Dy.

Zusammenfassung Drei binäre Systeme, jeweils aus Gemischen verschiedener Molverhältnisse der Sesquioxide der seltenen Erden mit Natrium- oder Kaliumpersulfat (Peroxodisulfat) bestehend, werden in statischer Luft-Atmosphäre unter Einsatz des Derivatographen untersucht. Für jedes System (R₂O₃M₂S₂O₈, mitR = Sm, Gd oder Dy undM = K oder Na) sind die Molverhältnisse, welche stöchiometrischen Reaktionen entsprechen, festgelegt. Die Berechnungen beruhen auf aus T-, TG-, DTG- und DTA-Kurven erhaltenen Angaben. Die Zwischen- und Endprodukte werden hauptsächlich durch Röntgendiffraktometrie identifiziert. Doppelsalze von Sm, Gd und Dy werden thermisch durch Festphasenreaktionen gebildet. Es wurde gefunden, dass eines dieser Doppelsalze, KDy(SO₄)₂, mit K₂SO₄ ein eutektisches Gemisch bildet. Weiterhin zeigte sich, dass sowohl Gd- als auch Dy-Sesquioxide sich wie Halbleiter vom p-Typs verhalten und dadurch gegenüber der thermischen Zersetzung von Persulfaten und Pyrosulfaten katalytische Aktivitäten aufweisen. Die optimale Katalyse wird mit Molverhältnissen von (13) erzielt. Die Aktivitäten steigen mit abnehmenden Ionenradien der Metalle: Sm, Gd und Dy.

Thermochemical studies on the systems ACl/CeCl3 (A=Na-Cs)

The pseudobinary systems ACl/CeCl₃ (A=Na-Cs) were reinvestigated by means of DTA. The following compounds were found and identified through their X-ray patterns (primarily detected compounds in italics):NaCe _1.67 Cl ₆; K₃CeCl₆, K₂CeCl₅,KCe _1.67 Cl ₆;Rb ₃ CeCl ₆, Rb₂CeCl₅,RbCe ₂ Cl ₇; Cs₃CeCl₆, Cs₂CeCl₅,CsCe ₂ Cl ₇. The compounds A₂CeCl₅ crystallize with the K₂PrCl₅ structure. The high-temperature modifications of the compounds A₃CeCl₆ have the cubic elpasolite structure. The hexagonal unit cell of KCe_1.67Cl₆ is related to the CeCl₃ structure: 0.33 Ce³⁺ are substituted by one K^s+. The structure of CsCe₂Cl₇ can be described with a hexagonal subcellZ=4,a=9.72 andc=14.94 Å; however, small superstructure reflexions reduce the symmetry.The thermodynamic functions for the reactionsnACl+CeCl₃=A _n CeCl _n+3(A=K, Rb) were determined by means of e.m.f. measurements.Measurements of the e.m.f.E vs. T yielded the Gibbs enthalpiesG ^r . The temperature-dependence was found to be linear.The most important result is the formation of the elpasolites (A₃CeCl₆) and ACe₂Cl₇.

Catalytic activity of CaO?CaF2 binary systems in the Claus reaction

Activity of CaO–CaF₂ catalysts in the Claus reaction has been studied as a function of catalyst composition and of the time of catalyst operation in the reaction. Opposite effects of low and high fluoride content on the Claus activity have been found. A new type of reducing centers is suggested to be responsible for the increase in the activity observed in the case of fluorine-rich catalysts.

Physico-chemical properties of catalysts: Thermal analysis,infrared spectroscopy,X-ray diffraction and magnetic susceptibility of the vanadates of zinc,manganese and silver

Thermal characteristics of the vanadates of zinc, manganese and silver have been studied by DTA and TG techniques and the different transition products thus obtained have been characterised by IR, X-ray diffraction and magnetic susceptibility data. Chemical analyses indicate the following compositions of these vanadates: (1) Zn₂V₂O₇.5H₂O, (2) Zn₃(VO₄)₂.3H₂O, (3) Mn(VO₃)₂.2H₂O and (4) Ag₃VO₄. The DTA curves indicate that zinc pyrovanadate undergoes endothermic changes at 110–195, 265, 365, 440, 660° and one exothermic change at 485°. This system is diamagnetic which becomes completely paramagnetic after 660°. Zinc orthovanadate exhibits a number of endothermic peaks at 300, 470, 700, 815 and 930° respectively. This system is feebly paramagnetic and retains this property up to 930°. Manganese metavanadate undergoes endothermic changes at 240, 280–590, 830 and 880° respectively.

Inductive hydrogen formation in the oxidation of ascorbic acid by nitrosylpentacyanoferrate(II)

In the first period of the reaction at pH 8 slow evolution of CO₂ and N₂O was observed. After gas evolution ceased, on adding NaOH, formation of N₂O again and, unexpectedly, H₂ was found. The amount of H₂ was measured as a function of reaction conditions. Illumination with visible light and the excess of the oxidant promote hydrogen evolution. The experiments in D₂O resulted in H₂, HD and D₂. The non-statistical isotope distribution was interpreted by a kinetic isotope effect.

Selective hydrogenation of cyclopentadiene in the liquid phase on palladium catalysts

The catalytic hydrogenation of cyclopentadiene to cyclopentene was investigated under atmospheric pressure and 20°C in liquid phase with palladium carrier catalysts. The reaction was carried out in methanol and toluene in the presence of n-octylcatechol as a polymerization inhibitor. Using 0.56% Pd/Al₂ O₃, a 100% selectivity of the hydrogenation of cyclopentadiene to cyclopentene was achieved in toluene. In methanol, the selectivity of hydrogenation was lower and a partial polymerization of cyclopentadiene took place.

On the role of symmetric hydrogen bonds of increased strength in isotope exchange of dihydrogen with water-alkaline solutions

The chemical effect of a hydrogen bond of increased strength responsible for the existence of H₃O ₂ ^– and determining mainly the E_a of the catalytic isotope exchange (IE) of hydrogen with water-alkaline solutions (WAS) is discussed. Assuming that the H₃O ₂ ^– associates are also effective in the case of water-alkaline melts (WAM), experimental kinetic evidence in favor of the suggested treatment of the IE mechanism is considered.
