Thermal decomposition of dicitratoborates

The thermal decompositions of dicitratoborates M¹[B(C₆H₆O₇)₂]·nH₂O (n=0–2, M¹=Rb, K, Li, NH₄) and M¹¹[B(C₆H₆O₇)₂]₂·8H₂O (M¹¹=Co, Ni, Mn, Cu, Zn, Cd) were investigated by means of TG, DTA and DTG methods. It was found that these thermal decompositions involve three successive stages: dehydration, the endothermal decomposition of the ligand, and oxidation of the residual organic component. The volatile products of decomposition in each stage were detected by means of gas chromatography. The method of TG-curve transformation into the curvedm/d T vs.m, wherem is the loss of weight at each moment of time, was used for a more detailed study of dehydration. The optimal conditions for TG-curve modification were found.

CH Acidity of Di- and Trisubstituted Methanes

It is shown that the CH acidity of di- and trisubstituted methanes can be studied using the ap- proaches consisting in singling out the contributions of physically significant factors from the overall acidification mechanisms in the gas phase and in solution. This procedure implies formal decomposition of the calculated gas-phase deprotonation energy Edeprot into the following terms: electrostatic energy of proton detachment from the acid CH bond, with the state of the remainder of the molecule absolutely unperturbed (E ₁); electronic relaxation energy of the resulting molecular residue and formation of a virtual carbanion therefrom (E ₂); the Edeprot component due to displacement of the atomic nuclei on changing from the virtual to real carbanion E ₃. Relationships between the energy components E ₁, E ₂, E ₃, and the commonly used characteristics of the molecular structure were investigated. The parameter E ₁ is selectively sensitive to the inductive effect of the substituent. Imperfect correlation between E ₁ and the sum of the _I constants can be due to the fact that the contributions to the _I constants from the effective charge on the hydrogen atom of the CH bond being deprotonated and from the polarizabilities of the substituents are not taken into account. In contrast to monosubstituted methanes, in di- and trisubstituted methanes there is no correlation between the E ₂ component and the ¹ J(^13CH) constants. The linear dependence linking the sums of the components E ₁ + E ₂ and the pyramidal angle in the carbanions is responsible for the relaxation nature of the effects associated with the E ₂ + E ₃ sum. Comparison of the data obtained with the calculated patterns of redistribution of the effective charges on atoms accompanying conversion of CH acids to carbanions enabled elucidation of the relative contribution of each of the components, E ₂ and E ₃, to the deprotonation energy of selected groups of substituted methanes. The previously developed technique of separating the energy of protolytic equilibrium in the gas from that of solvation processes in solution enabled assessment of the contributions from electrostatic solvation to pK _a in DMSO. The same technique of singling out the solvation component due to intermolecular hydrogen bonds from pK _a(H₂O) was used in studying the acid-base equilibria for substituted methanes in aqueous solution. It was shown that the solvation effects manifested in the liquid-phase CH acidity can be modeled by the effects revealed for analogous hydrogen bonds of ion-molecule complexes in the gas phase. The relationships between the strength of hydrogen bonds and the CH-acidic properties of compounds in the gas phase and liquid water are similar.     

Vibrational isotope effect of linear and planar molecules: Deuterated bromoethenes

Linear (planar) molecules A and B which are identical except for isotopic substitutions at the atomic sites are considered. Stretching (bending, out-of-plane) frequencies _k and normal modes _k of the isotopically perturbed molecule B are expressed in terms of stretching (bending, out-of-plane) frequencies _i and the corresponding normal modes _i of the unperturbed molecule A. Complete specification of the unperturbed normal modes is not required. All that is needed are stretching (bending, out-of-plane) amplitudes | _i of the normal modes _i at those sites that are affected by isotopic substitution. The rule which interlaces frequencies _k of molecule A with frequencies _i of molecule B is derived. Given two isotopic molecules A and B that differ by a single isotopic substitution at site , the inversion relation is derived. This relation expresses unperturbed stretching (bending, out-of-plane) amplitudes at the site in terms of stretching (bending, out-of-plane) frequencies of molecules A and B . As an example, out-of-plane vibrations of deuterated bromoethene were considered. In the simplest method 12 out-of-plane frequencies of four polydeuterated bromoethenes were calculated from 12 out-of-plane frequencies of bromoethene and three monodeuterated bromoethenes. Standard deviation of thus calculated frequencies from experimental frequencies is =2.74 cm^–1. In another method, 15 out-of-plane frequencies of four polydeuterated bromoethenes and selected monodeuterated bromoethene are calculated from 9 out-of-plane frequencies of bromoethene and the remaining two monodeuterated bromoethenes. Depending on which monodeuterated bromoethene is selected (1-, cis- or trans-), standard deviation of thus obtained frequencies from experimental frequencies is 1=2.84 cm^–1, c=2.96 cm^–1 and t=2.72 cm^–1.

La and Zn promotion of Ru Fischer-Tropsch catalysts

An investigation of the use of La- and Zn-promoters for Ru/SiO₂ F-T catalysts has been carried out. It was found that, while the use of a La-promoter did not result in any improvement over the use of a K one, Zn-promotion resulted in much higher yields of olefins. The CH₄ and olefin selectivities of the Zn-promoted Ru/SiO₂ were essentially insensitive to temperature over the range 250–320 °C. The Zn-promoted catalyst was found to have many of the same catalytic properties previously found for Ru/ZnO, but was much more active. Thus, it is possible to achieve certain interesting catalytic properties for Ru by the use of Zn-promotion without having to make use of the low surface area support ZnO.

Cobalt(II) bis(oxalato)cobaltate(II) tetrahydrate (Co[Co(C₂O₄)] · 4H₂O) was synthesized and characterized on the basis of elemental and spectral analysis. The thermal decomposition of the complex was investigated in air and nitrogen media. In air, complete dehydration of the complex occured at 251°, followed by rapid decomposition to a mixture of CO₂O₃ and Co₃O₄ at 300°; in nitrogen, dehydration occurred at 206°, followed by decomposition to a mixture of Co and CoC₂O₄, and finally to Co + CoO, at 394° and 420°, respectively.

Radical addition of methyldichlorosilane to vinyl acetate

The GC-MS method was used to identify the addition products of methyldichlorosilane to vinyl acetate. Radiation-induced addition of methyldichlorosilane to vinyl acetate produces 2-methyldichlorosilylethyl ethyl ether. The reaction follows a radical-chain mechanism. The ratio of the rate constants of methyldichlorosilyl radical addition to C=C and C=O to vinyl acetate amounts to 0.4±0.1 (303 K).

Combined use of calorimetric and adsorption kinetic methods for the study of the mechanisms of catalytic processes

Consideration is given to the main results obtained in studies based on calorimetric methods at high temperatures (above room temperature) of the following aspects of the mechanisms of catalytic and sorption processes on powder catalysts: 1) relation between chemisorption and dissolution of gases in the subsurface layers of solids; 2) influence of surface-adsorbed substance on the adsorption of another substance from the gas phase; 3) nature of intermediate species formed during catalytic processes on the catalyst surface. Results are presented of the application of calorimetric methods to measuring the enthalpy change of polymerization in a dry system: gaseous monomer — solid catalyst — solid polymer, and to investigating the mechanisms of such processes. Anomalous solubility of gases in the subsurface layers of solids has been shown to be significant for the mechanism of nucleation during phase transitions in solids.

Excited Π states of divinyl chalcogenides and chalcophenes

Electron transitions in divinyl chalcogenides (CH₂=CHXCH=CH₂, where X is S, Se, or Te) have been analyzed using UV absorption spectra of dialkyl and alkyl vinyl chalcogenides. The following relations for the orbital energies are found: ^* < ^* < ^* < ^* for Te and ^* < ^* < ^* < ^* for S and Se. For chalcophenes, a correlation between the energy of the excited state (E ^*) of specific symmetry, the ionization potential (I) and the electron affinity (EA) is obtained:E ^*=const+(I+EA)/2. The electron affinity of divinyl chalcogenides is estimated. The correlation between the excited ^* states of divinyl chalcogenides and chalcophenes is discussed.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 5, pp. 831–835, May, 1994.

Complex polarizability as used to analyze dielectric relaxation measurements

The effect of representing dielectric properties in terms of the complex polarizability ^c = – i is examined. Loss curves ( and tan ) are shifted towards higher frequencies, revealing the existence of new relaxations and allowing the clarifications of ones already known. We have calculated the shift ratios (at maximum or tan )/ (at maximum or tan ) from the more conventional empirical equations representing the dielectric behavior. Some examples are given.     

A 2pπ, 3dπ valence bond wave function for the 1B1u state of ethylene

A 2p, 3d valence bond wave function for the lowest ¹ B _1u state of the -system of ethylene is variationally optimized with respect to the atomic orbital exponents using a non-empirical -approximation. The resulting energy compares favourably with previous calculations and leads to a satisfactory value for the lowest ¹ A _1g-¹ B _1u transition energy. The optimized exponent for the 2p orbital is close to the Slater value whereas the exponent for the 3d orbital is found to be nearly hydrogenic. The implications of this result are discussed in some detail.

Die berechnete Energie stimmt gut mit den Ergebnissen vorausgegangener Rechnungen überein. Für den tiefsten ¹ A _1g ¹ B _1u -Übergang ergibt sich ein befriedigender Energiewert.
