Activity coefficients at infinite dilution have been measured by gas–liquid chromatography for 27 organic solutes (n-alkanes, 1-alkenes, 1-alkynes, cycloalkanes, aromatics, alcohols, and ketones) in the ionic liquid trihexyl(tetradecyl)phosphonium tetrafluoroborate [3C₆C₁₄P][BF₄]. The measurements were carried out at four different temperatures viz. T = (313.15, 333.15, 353.15, and 373.15) K. From the experimental data, partial molar excess enthalpy values at infinite dilution were calculated for the experimental temperature range. The selectivity values for the separation of n-hexane/benzene, cyclohexane/benzene, and methanol/benzene mixtures were determined from the experimental infinite dilution activity coefficient values. These values were compared to those available in the literature for other ionic liquids and commercial solvents, so as to assess the feasibility of employing [3C₆C₁₄P][BF₄] in solvent-enhanced industrial separations.

(Solid + liquid) equilibria for the ternary system (CsBr + LnBr3 + H2O) (Ln = Pr,Nd, Sm) at T = 298.2 K and atmospheric pressure,thermal and fluorescent properties of Cs2LnBr5·10H2O

The (solid + liquid) phase equilibria of the ternary systems (CsBr + LnBr₃ + H₂O) (Ln = Pr, Nd, Sm) at T = 298.2 K were studied by the isothermal solubility method. The solid phases formed in the systems were determined by the Schreinemakers wet residues technique, and the corresponding phase diagrams were constructed based on the measured data. Each of the phase diagrams, with two invariant points, three univariant curves, and three crystallization regions corresponding to CsBr, Cs₂LnBr₅·10H₂O and LnBr₃·nH₂O (n = 6, 7), respectively, belongs to the same category. The new solid phase compounds Cs₂LnBr₅·10H₂O are incongruently soluble in water, and they were characterized by chemical analysis, XRD and TG-DTG techniques. The standard molar enthalpies of solution of Cs₂PrBr₅·10H₂O, Cs₂NdBr₅·10H₂O and Cs₂SmBr₅·10H₂O in water were measured to be (52.49 ± 0.48) kJ · mol⁻¹, (49.64 ± 0.49) kJ · mol⁻¹ and (50.17 ± 0.48) kJ · mol⁻¹ by microcalorimetry under the condition of infinite dilution, respectively, and their standard molar enthalpies of formation were determined as being −(4739.7 ± 1.4) kJ · mol⁻¹, −(4728.4 ± 1.4) kJ · mol⁻¹ and −(4724.4 ± 1.4) kJ · mol⁻¹, respectively. The fluorescence excitation and emission spectra of Cs₂PrBr₅·10H₂O, Cs₂NdBr₅·10H₂O and Cs₂SmBr₅·10H₂O were measured. The results show that the upconversion spectra of the three new solid phase compounds all exhibit a peak at 524 nm when excited at 785 nm.     

Experimentally determined thermodynamic properties of schapbachite (α-AgBiS2) below T = 700 K

Thermodynamic properties of schapbachite (α-AgBiS₂) in the phase assemblage α-AgBiS₂–AgBi₃S₅–Bi have been studied by an EMF-technique. The EMF-measurements were made on the galvanic cell Pt(−)|Ag|AgI|AgBiS₂ + AgBi₃S₅ + Bi|C|Pt(+), over the temperature range from (429 to 699) K. According to the EMF vs. temperature relations obtained, the enthalpy of the phase transformation from β-AgBi_1+xS₂ to α-AgBi_1+xS₂, at T = (465.55 ± 5) K, was calculated to be (7.3 ± 2.1) kJ · mol⁻¹. New experimentally determined thermodynamic properties of the bismuth-saturated schapbachite (α-AgBi_1+xS₂), for each temperature region of the stable phases Bi(s) and Bi(l), were generated and analysed in detail. Based on the experimental results, Gibbs free energies of sulfidation reactions including Ag, Bi(l), S₂(g), Ag₂S and Bi₂S₃ to produce the bismuth-saturated schapbachite (α-AgBi_1+xS₂) have been evaluated. It has been observed that within the temperature range from (474 to 680) K, schapbachite saturated with bismuth (α-AgBi_1+xS₂) is thermodynamically more stable than the stoichiometric schapbachite (α-AgBiS₂).     

Experimental excess molar properties of binary mixtures of (3-amino-1-propanol + isobutanol, 2-propanol) at T = (293.15 to 333.15) K and modelling the excess molar volume by Prigogine–Flory–Patterson theory

Density and viscosity of binary mixtures of (x₁3-amino-1-propanol + x₂isobutanol) and (x₁3-amino-1-propanol + x₂2-propanol) were measured over the entire composition range and from temperatures (293.15 to 333.15) K at ambient pressure. The excess molar volumes and viscosity deviations were calculated and correlated by the Redlich–Kister (RK) equation. The thermal expansion coefficient and its excess value, isothermal coefficient of excess molar enthalpy, and excess partial molar volumes were determined by using the experimental values of density and are described as a function of composition and temperature. The excess molar volumes are negative over the entire mole fraction range for both mixtures and increase with increasing temperature. The excess molar volumes obtained were correlated by the Prigogine–Flory–Patterson (PFP) model. The viscosity deviations of the binary mixtures are negative over the entire composition range and decrease with increasing temperature.     

Synthesis,characterization and reactions of the transition metal halogenoalkyl carbocation complexes [Cp(CO)2M{η2-CH2CH(CH2)nX}]PF6 (n = 1–8, 10, M = Fe; n = 3, 4 M = Ru; X = Br,I)

The halogenoalkyl complexes [Cp(CO)₂M{(CH₂)_nX}] (n = 3–10, 12, M = Fe; n = 5, 6, M = Ru, X = Br, I) react with Ph₃CPF₆ in dry CH₂Cl₂ to give the corresponding carbocation complexes [Cp(CO)₂M{η²-(CH₂CH(CH₂)_n?2X}]PF₆ in high yields. NMR evidence indicates that the metals form metallacyclopropane type structures with the carbocation ligand. The reactions of some of the cationic complexes with NaI, PPh₃, Na[Cp(CO)₂Fe] and Et₃N are discussed. NaI and Na[Cp(CO)₂Fe] displace the halogeno-olefin, while PPh₃ adds at the β-CH^δ+ giving the unstable phosphonium adducts [Cp(CO)₂Fe{CH₂CH(PPh₃)(CH₂)_n?2X}]PF₆ which decompose to the halogeno-olefins and the cationic PPh₃ complex [Cp(CO)₂Fe(PPh₃)]⁺. Et₃N causes allylic deprotonation forming internal olefin complexes of the type [Cp(CO)₂Fe{CH₂CHCH(CH₂)_n?3X}]PF₆.     

Ternary mutual diffusion coefficients of aqueous {l-dopa (1) + β-CD (2)} solutions at T = 298.15 K

Ternary mutual diffusion coefficients (D₁₁, D₂₂, D₁₂ and D₂₁) measured by the Taylor dispersion method are reported for aqueous solutions of {levodopa (l-dopa) + β-cyclodextrin (β-CD)} solutions at T = 298.15 K and concentrations up to 0.007 mol · dm⁻³. Significant effects on the diffusion were observed, suggesting interactions between this carbohydrate and l-dopa. Support for this came from ¹H NMR spectroscopy, which shows that these effects are due to formation of 1:1 (β-CD:l-dopa) complexes.     

Activity coefficients at infinite dilution of organic solutes in the ionic liquid,methyl(trioctyl)ammonium thiosalicylate, [N1888][TS] by gas–liquid chromatography at T = (303.15, 313.15, and 323.15) K

In this work, activity coefficients at infinite dilution (${\gamma }_{13}^{\infty }$) have been obtained for 19 polar and non-polar organic solutes in the form of n-alkanes, cycloalkanes, 1-alkenes, 1-alkynes, aromatic compounds, and ketones in the ionic liquid methyl(trioctyl)ammonium thiosalicylate by gas–liquid chromatography at three different temperatures, i.e. T = (303.15, 313.15, and 323.15) K. Two columns with different phase loadings of the ionic liquid in the stationary phase (25% and 30%) were employed to obtain ${\gamma }_{13}^{\infty }$ values at each temperature investigated. Partial molar excess enthalpies at infinite dilution ($\mathrm{\Delta }{H}_1^{\text{E,}\infty }$) were calculated for each of the solutes from the temperature dependency of the ${\gamma }_{13}^{\infty }$ values for the temperature range in this study. Selectivity values at infinite dilution ($S_{\text{ij}}^{\infty }$) were computed from the ${\gamma }_{13}^{\infty }$ values to screen the potential candidacy of the ionic liquid for the separation of n-hexane/benzene mixtures. The results from this study have been compared to those available for several other classes of ionic liquids and commercial solvents employed in solvent-enhanced industrial separation processes.     

Ternary liquid–liquid equilibria for mixtures of 1-hexyl-3-methylimidozolium (tetrafluoroborate or hexafluorophosphate) + ethanol + an alkene at T=298.2 K

Liquid–liquid equilibrium data are presented for mixtures of {1-hexyl-3-methylimidozolium(tetrafluoroborate or hexafluorophospate) + ethanol + (1-hexene or 1-heptene)} at T=298.2 K. The data presented provides valuable insight into how variation of the anion of the environmentally friendly ionic liquid solvent can have a marked effect upon the separation power of ionic liquids. The sloping of the tie lines towards the ethanol vertex is observed for mixtures of {1-hexyl-3-methylimadozolium tetrafluoroborate + ethanol + (1-hexene or 1-heptene)}, whilst the reverse, i.e. sloping of the tie lines towards the ionic liquid vertex is observed for mixtures of {1-hexyl-3-methylimadozolium hexafluorophospate + ethanol + (1-hexene or 1-heptene)}. The tie line data have been correlated through the use of the NTRL model for statistical consistency. Selectivity values, derived from the tie line data, indicate that these two ionic liquids are suitable solvents for the liquid–liquid extraction of ethanol from olefins.
