Exceptional thermal stability and thermodynamic properties of lithium based metal–organic framework

A three-dimensional lithium-based metal–organic framework Li₂(2,6-NDC) (2,6-NDC = 2,6-naphthalene dicarboxylate) has been synthesized solvothermally and characterized by X-ray powder diffraction, elemental analysis, FT-IR spectroscopy, thermogravimetry and mass spectrometer analysis (TG–MS). The framework has exceptional stability and is stable to 863 K. The thermal decomposition characteristic of this compound was investigated through the TG–MS from 293 to 1250 K. The molar heat capacity of the compound was measured by temperature modulated differential scanning calorimetry (TMDSC) over the temperature range from 195 to 670 K for the first time. The thermodynamic parameters such as entropy and enthalpy versus 298.15 K based on the above molar heat capacity were calculated.     

Apparent molar heat capacities and apparent molar volumes of Pr(ClO4)3(aq), Gd(ClO4)3(aq), Ho(ClO4)3(aq), and Tm(ClO4)3(aq) at T=(288.15, 298.15, 313.15, and 328.15) K and p=0.1 MPa

Acidified aqueous solutions of Pr(ClO₄)₃(aq), Gd(ClO₄)₃(aq), Ho(ClO₄)₃(aq), and Tm(ClO₄)₃(aq) were prepared from the corresponding oxides by dissolution in dilute perchloric acid. Once characterized with respect to trivalent metal cation and acid content, the relative densities of the solutions were measured at T=(288.15, 298.15, 313.15, and 328.15) K and p=0.1 MPa using a Sodev O2D vibrating tube densimeter. The relative massic heat capacities of the aqueous systems were also determined, under the same temperature and pressure conditions, using a Picker Flow Microcalorimeter. All measurements were made on solutions containing rare earth salt in the concentration range 0.01 ⩽ m/(mol · kg⁻¹) ⩽ 0.2. Relative densities and relative massic heat capacities were used to calculate the apparent molar volumes and apparent molar heat capacities of the acidified salt solutions from which the apparent molar properties of the aqueous salt solutions were extracted by the application of Young's Rule. The concentration dependences of the isothermal apparent molar volumes and heat capacities of each aqueous salt solution were modelled using Pitzer ion-interaction equations. These models produced estimates of apparent molar volumes and apparent molar heat capacities at infinite dilution for each set of isothermal V_φ,2 and C_pφ,2 values. In addition, the temperature and concentration dependences of the apparent molar volumes and apparent molar heat capacities of the aqueous rare earth perchlorate salt solutions were modelled using modified Pitzer ion-interaction equations. The latter equations utilized the Helgeson, Kirkham, and Flowers equations of state to model the temperature dependences (at p=0.1 MPa) of apparent molar volumes and apparent molar heat capacities at infinite dilution. The results of the latter models were compared to those previously published in the literature.Apparent molar volumes and apparent heat capacities at infinite dilution for the trivalent metal cations Pr³⁺(aq), Gd³⁺(aq), Ho³⁺(aq), and Tm³⁺(aq) were calculated using the conventions V₂^∘(H⁺(aq)) ≡ 0 and C_p2^∘(H⁺(aq)) ≡ 0 and have been compared to other values reported in the literature.     

Synthesis,structures and adsorption properties of two new magnesium coordination polymers

Two new magnesium coordination polymers, [Mg(9,10-ADC)(H₂O)₂(DMF)₂]_n (1) and [Mg₆(1,4-NDC)₅(HCO₂)₄(DMF)(H₂O)]_n·2n[H₂N(CH₃)₂]·2n(DMF) (2) (9,10-ADC = 9,10-anthracenedicarboxylate; 1,4-NDC = 1,4-naphthalenedicarboxylate) have been solvothermally synthesized. Compound 1 displays a one-dimensional linear chain structure, which is orderly constructed from magnesium metal cations connecting with carboxylic oxygen atoms of 9,10-H₂ADC along the a axis. Compound 2 exhibits a three-dimensional framework composed of infinite chains of corner-sharing octahedral MgO₆ with 1,4-NDC ligands forming one-dimensional channels along the a axis, where guest molecules reside. When guest molecules are removed, no structural transformation is found to occur, generating a robust structure with permanent porosity. The studies of CO₂ absorption suggest that compound 2 is a promising adsorbent material for CO₂.     

Apparent molar volumes and apparent molar heat capacities of aqueous magnesium nitrate,strontium nitrate,and manganese nitrate at temperatures from 278.15 K to 393.15 K and at the pressure 0.35 MPa

Apparent molar volumes V_ϕ and apparent molar heat capacities C_p,ϕ were determined at the pressure 0.35 MPa for aqueous solutions of magnesium nitrate Mg(NO₃)₂ at molalities m = (0.02 to 1.0) mol · kg⁻¹, strontium nitrate Sr(NO₃)₂ at m = (0.05 to 3.0) mol · kg⁻¹, and manganese nitrate Mn(NO₃)₂ at m = (0.01 to 0.5) mol · kg⁻¹. Our V_ϕ values were calculated from solution densities obtained at T = (278.15 to 368.15) K using a vibrating-tube densimeter, and our C_p,ϕ values were calculated from solution heat capacities obtained at T = (278.15 to 393.15) K using a twin fixed-cell, differential, temperature-scanning calorimeter. Empirical functions of m and T were fitted to our results, and standard state partial molar volumes and heat capacities were obtained over the ranges of T investigated.     

Thermodynamic properties and heat capacities of Co (BTC)1/3 (DMF) (HCOO)

A novel metal organic framework [Co (BTC)_1/3 (DMF) (HCOO)] _n (CoMOF, BTC = 1,3,5-benzene tricarboxylate, DMF = N,N-dimethylformamide) has been synthesized solvothermally and characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction, X-ray powder diffraction, and FT-IR spectra. The molar heat capacity of the compound was measured by modulated differential scanning calorimetry (MDSC) over the temperature range from 198 to 418 K for the first time. The thermodynamic parameters such as entropy and enthalpy versus 298.15 K based on the above molar heat capacity were calculated. Moreover, a four-step sequential thermal decomposition mechanism for the CoMOF was investigated through the thermogravimetry and mass spectrometer analysis (TG-DTG-MS) from 300 to 800 K. The apparent activation energy of the first decomposition step of the compound was calculated by the Kissinger method using experimental data of TG analysis.     

Hydrogen-bonded supramolecular structures constructed from trinuclear copper units

Four copper complexes with similar trinuclear copper units, [Cu₆(Bmshp)₂(SO₄)₂(H₂O)₇]·2H₂O (1), [Cu₃(Bmshp)(ClO₄)₂(H₂O)₄]·5H₂O (2), [Cu₃(Bmshp)(DMF)₄(H₂O)₂]·H₂O·2DMF·2ClO₄ (3) and [Cu₃(H₂Bcshp)(ClO₄)₂(H₂O)₄]·3H₂O (4) (H₄Bmshp = 2,6-bis[(3-methoxysalicylidene)hydrazinocarbonyl]pyridine, H₆Bcshp = 2,6-bis[(3-carboxylsalicylidene)hydrazinocarbonyl]pyridine), were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR and single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Due to the different anions, solvents and ligands used in the syntheses, complexes 1–4 exhibit diverse supramolecular structures constructed from the corresponding trinuclear copper units via H-bonds.     

Aqueous partial molar heat capacities and volumes for NaTcO4 and NaReO4

A flow microcalorimeter/densimeter system has been commissioned to measure heat capacities and densities of solutions containing radioactive species as a function of temperature. Measurements were made for NaTcO₄(aq) at six temperatures (189.15 K to 373.15 K for the heat capacities, 287.43 K to 396.67 K for the densities) over the molality range 0.01 to 0.29 mol-kg^–1. Measurements for NaReO₄(aq) (NaReO₄ is a common nonradioactive analogue for NaTcO₄) were made under similar conditions, but for eight temperatures and a more extensive range of molalities, 0.05 to 0.65 mol-kg^–1. Heat capacities of NaCl(aq) reference solutions were also measured from 293.15 K to 398.15 K.The heat capacity and density data are analysed using Pitzer's ioninteraction model. Equations for the apparent molar heat capacities and volumes are reported. Values of the NaReO₄(aq) partial molar heat capacities are compared to literature values based on integral heats of solution. The agreement between the two sets of NaReO₄ results is good below 330 K, but only fair at the higher temperatures. Values of the partial molar volumes have also been derived. Using literature values and the results of our experiments, it is calculated that the disproportionation of hydrated TcO₂(s) to form TcO ₄ ^– (aq) and Tc(cr) occurs more readily at high temperatures. The uncertainties introduced by using thermodynamic values for ReO ₄ ^– (aq), in the absence of values for TcO ₄ ^– (aq), are discussed.

Heat capacities of the mixtures of ionic liquids with acetonitrile

Isobaric specific heat capacities were measured for {1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (HMIMBF₄) + acetonitrile (MeCN)} and {1-methyl-3-octylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (OMIMBF₄) + acetonitrile} within the whole range of composition and temperatures from (283.15 to 323.15) K. The excess molar heat capacities were calculated from the experimental results and satisfactorily fitted to Redlich–Kister type polynomials for several selected temperatures. Negative deviations from the additivity of molar heat capacities were observed within the whole composition range of (HMIBMF₄ + MeCN) and (OMIMBF₄ + MeCN). The results obtained have been interpreted in terms of interactions between ionic liquids and acetonitrile.

Three isomorphous coordination polymers of general formula {[M(H₂bna)·(DMF)₂·(H₂O)₂]·DMF}_n (M = Co for 1, Mn for 2, Ni for 3, respectively, where H₄bna = 2,2′-dihydroxy-[1,1′]-binaphthalene-3,3′-dicarboxylate) were synthesized under solvothermal conditions and characterized by FTIR, single crystal X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, and X-ray power diffraction analysis. All three polymers crystallize in the same monoclinic space group P2₁/n. The complexes are assembled into 1D helical chains, and each adjacent helical chain of the same chirality is further connected to form a chiral layer by hydrogen bond interactions. The layers are packed in alternating left-(M) and right-handed (P) chirality arrays. Magnetic studies reveal the presence of antiferromagnetic coupling interactions in complexes 1 and 2.     

配位化合物Zn(Met)3(NO3)2·H2O(s)(Met=L-α-蛋氨酸)的低温热容及标准摩尔生成焓

Low temperature heat capacity Study of Fe(PO3)3 and Fe2P2O7

The heat capacities of two iron phosphates, Fe(PO₃)₃ and Fe₂P₂O₇, have been measured over the temperature range from (2 to 300) K using the heat capacity option of a Quantum Design Physical Property Measurement System (PPMS). A phase transition related to magnetic ordering has been found in the heat capacity at T = 8.76 K for Fe(PO₃)₃ and T = 18.96 K for Fe₂P₂O₇, which are comparable with literature values from magnetic measurements. By fitting the experimental heat capacity values, the thermodynamic functions, magnetic heat capacities, and magnetic entropies have been determined. Additionally, theoretical fits at low temperatures suggest that Fe₂P₂O₇ has an anisotropic antiferromagnetic contribution to the heat capacity and a large linear term likely caused by oxygen vacancies. Further data fitting in a series over widened temperature regions found that this linear term exists only below 15 K and disappears gradually from (15 to 17) K.

The experimental results through TG measurement demonstrate that the compound has a two-stage mass loss in air flow.     

Crystal Structure, Phase Transition, and Thermodynamic Properties of Bis-dodecylammonium Tetrachlorozincate (C12H25NH3)2ZnCl4(s)

The crystal structure and composition of (C₁₂H₂₅NH₃)₂ZnCl₄(s) were characterized by chemical and elemental analysis, X‐ray powder diffraction technique and X‐ray crystallography. The lattice energy of the title compound was calculated to be U_POT=888.82 kJ·mol^?1. Low temperature heat capacities of the title compound have been measured by a precision automated adiabatic calorimeter over the temperature range from 80 to 403 K. An obvious solid to solid phase transition occurred in the heat capacity curve, and the peak temperature, molar enthalpy and molar entropy of the phase transition of the compound were determined to be T_trs= (364.02±0.03) K, (_trsH_m= (77.567±0.341) kJ·mol^?1, and (_trsS_m= (213.77±1.17) J·K^?1·mol^?1, respectively. Experimental molar heat capacities before and after the phase transition were respectively fitted to two polynomial equations. The smoothed molar heat capacities and fundamental thermodynamic functions of the sample relative to the standard reference temperature 298.15 K were calculated and tabulated at an interval of 5 K.     

Low-temperature heat capacities and standard molar enthalpy of formation of the solid-state coordination compound trans-Cu(Ala)2(s) (Ala = l-α-alanine)

Low-temperature heat capacities of the solid coordination compound trans-Cu(Ala)₂(s) have been measured by a precision automated adiabatic calorimeter over the temperature range from T = 78 K to 390 K. The experimental values of the molar heat capacities in the temperature region were fitted to a polynomial equation of heat capacities (C_p,m) with the reduced temperatures (X), [X = f (T)], by a least square method. The smoothed molar heat capacities and thermodynamic functions of the complex trans-Cu(Ala)₂(s) were calculated based on the fitted polynomial. The smoothed values of the molar heat capacities and fundamental thermodynamic functions of the sample relative to the standard reference temperature 298.15 K were tabulated with an interval of 5 K. Enthalpies of dissolution of {Cu(Ac)₂·H₂O(s) + 2Ala (s)} and 2:1 HAc (aq) in 100 ml of 2 mol dm⁻³ HCl, respectively, and trans-Cu(Ala)₂(s) in the solvent [2:1 HAc (aq) + 2 mol dm⁻³ HCl] at T = 298.15 K were determined to be , , and by means of an isoperibol solution-reaction calorimeter. The standard molar enthalpy of formation of the compound was determined as from the enthalpies of dissolution and other auxiliary thermodynamic data using a Hess thermochemical cycle.     

Apparent molar heat capacities and apparent molar volumes ofY2(SO4)3(aq),La2(SO4)3(aq),Pr2(SO4)3(aq),Nd2(SO4)3(aq),Eu2(SO4)3(aq),Dy2(SO4)3(aq),Ho2(SO4)3(aq), andLu2(SO4)3(aq)atT = 298.15 K andp = 0.1 MPa

The apparent molar heat capacities C_{p, φ} ^∘ and apparent molar volumes V_φ ^∘ of Y₂(SO₄)₃(aq), La₂(SO₄)₃(aq), Pr₂(SO₄)₃(aq), Nd₂(SO₄)₃(aq), Eu₂(SO₄)₃(aq), Dy₂(SO₄)₃(aq), Ho₂(SO₄)₃(aq), and Lu₂(SO₄)₃(aq) were measured at T =  298.15 K and p =  0.1 MPa with a Sodev (Picker) flow microcalorimeter and a Sodev vibrating-tube densimeter, respectively. These measurements extend from lower molalities of m =  (0.005 to 0.018) mol ·kg ^− 1to m =  (0.025 to 0.434) mol ·kg ^− 1, where the upper molality limits are slightly below those of the saturated solutions. There are no previously published apparent molar heat capacities for these systems, and only limited apparent molar volume information. Considerable amounts of the R SO₄ ⁺ (aq) and R(SO₄)₂ ⁻ (aq) complexes are present, where R denotes a rare-earth, which complicates the interpretation of these thermodynamic quantities. Values of the ionic molar heat capacities and ionic molar volumes of these complexes at infinite dilution are derived from the experimental information, but the calculations are necessarily quite approximate because of the need to estimate ionic activity coefficients and other thermodynamic quantities. Nevertheless, the derived standard ionic molar properties for the various R SO₄ ⁺ (aq) and R(SO₄)₂ ⁻ (aq) complexes are probably realistic approximations to the actual values. Comparisons indicate that V_φ ^∘ {RSO₄ ⁺ , aq, 298.15K}  =  − (6  ±  4)cm³· mol ^− 1and V_φ ^∘ {R(SO₄)₂ ⁻ , aq, 298.15K}  =  (35  ±  3)cm³· mol ^− 1, with no significant variation with rare-earth. In contrast, values of C_{p, φ} ^∘ { RSO₄ ⁺ , aq, 298.15K } generally increase with the atomic number of the rare-earth, whereas C_{p, φ} ^∘ { R(SO₄)₂ ⁻ , aq, 298.15K } shows a less regular trend, although its values are always positive and tend to be larger for the heavier than for the light rare earths.     

Thermodynamics of solution of proto- and mezoporphyrins in N,N-dimethylformamide

This paper describes the results of thermodynamic study of dissolution of proto- and mesoporphyrins in liquid N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) at different temperatures. Enthalpies of solution and solubility of protoporphyrin dimethylester (PDE) and mesoporphyrin dimethylester (MDE) in DMF have been obtained from T = (298 to 318) K. Free energies, enthalpies, entropies and heat capacities of solution have been computed from the combination of enthalpic and solubility data via the Gibbs–Helmholtz equation. We have shown that for all blood porphyrins this approach reproduces both free energies of solution and solubility values for the physiological temperature range.     

Heat capacities,third-law entropies and thermodynamic functions of the geometrically frustrated antiferromagnetic spinels GeCo2O4 and GeNi2O4 from T=(0 to 400) K

The molar heat capacities of GeCo₂O₄ and GeNi₂O₄, two geometrically frustrated spinels, have been measured in the temperature range from T=(0.5 to 400) K. Anomalies associated with magnetic ordering occur in the heat capacities of both compounds. The transition in GeCo₂O₄ occurs at T=20.6 K while two peaks are found in the heat capacity of GeNi₂O₄, both within the narrow temperature range between 11.4<(T/K)<12.2. Thermodynamic functions have been generated from smoothed fits of the experimental results. At T=298.15 K the standard molar heat capacities are (143.44 ± 0.14) J · K⁻¹ · mol⁻¹ for GeCo₂O₄ and (130.76 ± 0.13) J · K⁻¹ · mol⁻¹ for GeNi₂O₄. The standard molar entropies at T=298.15 K for GeCo₂O₄ and GeNi₂O₄ are (149.20 ± 0.60) J · K⁻¹ · mol⁻¹ and (131.80 ± 0.53) J · K⁻¹ · mol⁻¹ respectively. Above 100 K, the heat capacity of the cobalt compound is significantly higher than that of the nickel compound. The excess heat capacity can be reasonably modeled by the assumption of a Schottky contribution arising from the thermal excitation of electronic states associated with the CO²⁺ ion in a cubic crystal field. The splittings obtained, 230 cm⁻¹ for the four-fold-degenerate first excited state and 610 cm⁻¹ for the six-fold degenerate second excited state, are significantly lower than those observed in pure CoO.     

Heat capacities of a series of terminal linear alkyldiamides determined by DSC

Molar heat capacities of twelve linear alkane-α,ω-diamides H₂NOC-(CH₂)_(n-2)-CONH₂, (n=2 to 12 and n=14) were measured by differential scanning calorimetry at T=183 to 323 K. Heat flow rate calibration of the Mettler DSC 30 calorimeter was carried out by using benzoic acid as reference material. The calibration was checked by determining the molar heat capacity of urea in the same temperature range as that of measurements. The molar heat capacities of alkane-α,ω-diamides increased in function of temperature and fitted into linear equations. Smoothed values of C _p,m at 298.15 K displayed a linear increase with the number of carbon atoms. The C _p,m contribution of CH₂ group was (22.6±0.4) J K⁻¹ mol⁻¹, in agreement with our previous results concerning linear alkane-a,ω-diols and primary alkylamides as well as the literature data on various series of linear alkyl compounds.
