Mechanism of hydrogenation of nitric oxide on platinum catalysts in acidic solution

To explain the mechanism of hydrogenation of NO in 2 M H₂SO₄, the kinetics of the hydrogenation of hydroxylamine to ammonia were studied. The rate constant of this reaction was compared with the ratio of rates at which NH₃OH⁺ and NH ₄ ⁺ were generated by the hydrogenation of NO. Both of these products are formed from NO via parallel reactions of a common intermediate. A mechanism for the hydrogenation of NO and the shift of the catalyst of the potential is proposed.

Determination of the kinetic parameters of the multi-stage thermal decomposition of solids under non-isothermal conditions by the non-linear estimation approach

The activation energy of decomposition of aluminium hydroxidevs. weight loss was estimated from thermogravimetric data collected over a wide range of heating rates, without resorting to the model of the reaction mechanism.These activation energy values were subsequently used to distinguish individual dehydration stages and to determine the best models of the reaction kinetics for these stages.Finally, the overall decomposition model was formulated, and its parameters were determined by the non-linear estimation approach.

Zusammenfassung Die Aktivierungsenergie der Zersetzung von Aluminiumhydroxid wurde in Abhängigkeit vom Gewichtsverlust aus einen weiten Bereich von Aufheizgeschwindigkeiten umfassenden thermogravimetrischen Daten gesammelt, ohne auf das Modell des Reaktionsmechanismus einzugehen.Diese Werte der Aktivierungsenergien wurden daraufhin zur Unterscheidung einzelner Dehydratisierungsstufen und zur Bestimmung der besten Modelle der Reaktionskinetik dieser Stufen eingesetzt.Schließlich wurde ein allgemeines Zersetzungsmodell formuliert und seine Parameter durch nichtlineare Schätzungsnäherung bestimmt.

Résumé On a estimé l'énergie d'activation de la décomposition de l'oxyde d'aluminium en fonction de la perte de poids à partir de données thermogravimétriques obtenues avec un large intervalle de vitesses de chauffage, sans avoir recours au modèle du mécanisme de la réaction. On a utilisé ensuite ces valeurs de l'énergie d'activation pour distinguer les étapés individuelles de la déshydratation et pour déterminer les meilleurs modèles de cinétique réactionnelle correspondant à celles-ci.Enfin, on a formulé un modèle général de décomposition et déterminé ces paramètres par approximations non linéaires.

Solid state reaction between dichromates and oxalates

The thermal investigation of the reaction taking place between dichromates and oxalates in the solid state has been done taking two systems of potassium dichromate-potassium oxalate and sodium dichromate-sodium oxalate. The techniques employed include thermogravimetry, differential thermal analysis, infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction studies. The results indicate a stoichiometric reaction of dichromate and oxalate in 11 ratio to give the corresponding chromate as the sole product.

Crystallization kinetics of LDPE/Ny6 blends

The crystallization behaviour of low density polyethylene/nylon 6 blends has been investigated as a function of the composition.The melting points of the polymers are almost uninfluenced by the presence of the other homopolymers except for blends with a nylon content of 75–90%.Blends with 10% nylon content do not exhibit the crystallization peak during the cooling step probably because of the low concentration and high viscosity of the low density polyethylene matrix.The crystallinity degree of the polyethylene is independent of the composition, while some variations are shown by the polyamide.Finally the rate of nucleation is strongly affected by the composition, in particular for the nylon phase.

Zusammenfassung Die Abhängigkeit des Kristallisationsverhaltens von 6 Polyethylen/Nylon-Gemischen geringer Dichte von der Zusammensetzung wurde untersucht. Der Schmelzpunkt eines jeden Polymers ist nahezu unbeeinflußt von der Anwesenheit des anderen Homopolymers ausgenommen die Gemische mit einem Nylongehalt von 75–90%. Die Gemische mit einem Gehalt von 10% Nylon zeigen während des Abkühlungsschrittes keinen Kristallisationspeak, was wahrscheinlich auf die niedrige Konzentration und auf die hohe Viskosität der Polyethylenmatrix mit geringer Dichte zurückzuführen ist. Der Kristallinitätsgrad des Polyethylens ist unabhängig von der Zusammensetzung, während ein Einfluß des Polyamids festzustellen ist. Die Keimbildungsgeschwindigkeit ist stark von der Zusammenstzung abhängig, was besonders für die Nylonphase gilt.

Proton donor ability of surface hydroxy groups from the IR spectra of hydrogen-bonded complexes

The influence of the strength of N-bases on the shift of (OH) in hydrogenbonded complexes upon adsorption on the surface of a decationized zeolite, phosphates and aerosil differing in the proton donor ability of surface hydroxy groups has been investigated. It is shown that the acid-base properties of the adsorbent-adsorbate pair produce additive influence on the above frequency shifts. A method for the determination of the proton donor ability of surface hydroxy groups (in terms of pK_a) from the IR spectra of hydrogen-bonded complexes is suggested.

Meaningful activation energies for complex systems II

The validity of the Friedman method is assessed for systems of overlapping reactions. By means of mathematical analysis and numerical examples it is shown that, in the case of competitive reactions, the method gives the true value of the instantaneous mean activation energy. However, some error may be incurred if this method is applied to systems of independent reactions. The relative accuracy of the Friedman and Ozawa-Flynn-Wall methods is discussed in respect of complex systems of reactions.

Zusammenfassung Die Gültigkeit der Friedman-Methode wird für Systeme von überlappenden Reaktionen einer Betrachtung unterzogen. Durch mathematische Analyse und numerische Beispiele wird gezeigt, daß im Falle kompetitiver Reaktionen die Methode den richtigen Wert der jeweiligen mittleren Aktivierungsenergie ergibt. Fehler können jedoch auftreten, wenn diese Methode auf Systeme voneinander unabhängiger Reaktionen angewandt wird. Die relative Genauigkeit der Methoden von Friedman und Ozawa-Flynn-Wall wird mit Hinsicht auf komplexe Reaktionssysteme diskutiert.

Ruthenium clusters containing the [2.2] paracyclophane ligand: Recent developments in arene-cluster chemistry

In this article we review the synthesis, reactivity, and characterization of a number of clusters bearing the [2.2] paracyclophane ligand with nuclearities ranging from two to eight. Particular attention is focused on the different coordination modes that paracyclophane adopts; these being µ₁- ⁶, µ₂- ³ : ³, µ₃- ¹ : ² : ², and µ₃- ² : ² : ². Structural modifications which take place within the ring system on bonding in these various modes are also discussed.

On the dioximine complexes of transition metals

Twelve new complexes NH₄[Co(DH)₂(SO₃)(amine)]·t H₂O (DH ₂=dimethylglyoxime) have been synthesized and characterized. Their i.r. spectra show the SO₃ to be co-ordinated to the Co atom through the S atom. The thermal decompositions of a series of derivatives of this type have been investigated with a derivatograph. The first process is an endothermic dehydration reaction, occurring in a single stage or in two successive ones. The loss of the crystallization water is followed by another endothermic reaction, without a clear stoichiometry, which is referred to as deamination. At higher temperatures, exothermic pyrolysis processes occur. From the TG curves, kinetic parameters have been derived for the dehydration and deamination reactions.

Zusammenfassung Zwölf neue Komplexe der allgemeinen Formel NH₄[Co(DH)₂(SO₃)(amin)]·t H₂O (DH=Dimethylglyoxim) wurden synthetisiert und charakterisiert. Die IR-Spektren zeigen, daß SO₃ über das S-Atom koordinativ an das Co-Atom gebunden ist. Die thermische Zersetzung einer Reihe von Derivaten dieses Typs wurde mittels eines Derivatographen untersucht. Der erste Prozeß ist die in einem einzigen oder in zwei aufeinander folgenden Schritten verlaufende endotherme Dehydratisierung. Auf die Abgabe des Kristallwassers folgt eine andere endotherme Reaktion unklarer Stöchiometrie, die als Deaminierung bezeichnet wird. Bei höheren Temperaturen verlaufen exotherme Pyrolyseprozesse. Aus den TG-Kurven wurden kinetische Parameter für die Dehydratisierung und die Deaminierung bestimmt.
