Theoretical consideration of the sorption of complexones on sulfo cation exchangers in displacement complexation chromatography

A mathematical model is proposed for describing the sorption of complexones (compositions of the solid and liquid phases, the elution order from the zone of sorbed complexone). The sorption of diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA) is considered as an example. In terms of this concept, experimental data reported by some Russian and foreign researchers are interpreted.

Kinetics and mechanism for the reactions of H atoms with CH3SH and C2H5SH

A kinetic study of the reactions of H atoms with CH₃SH and C₂H₅SH has been carried out at 298 K by the discharge flow technique with EPR and mass spectrometric analysis of the species. The pressure was 1 torr. It was found: k₁ = (2.20 ± 0.20) × 10^?12 for the reaction H + CH₃SH (1) and k₂ = (2.40 ± 0.16) × 10^?12 for the reaction H + C₂H₅SH (2). Units are cm³ molecule^?1 s^?1. A mass spectrometric analysis of the reaction products and a computer simulation of the reacting systems have shown that reaction (1) proceeds through two mechanisms leading to the formation of CH₃S + H₂ (1a) and CH₃ + H₂S (1b).

采用ONIOM(B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p):UFF)分层计算方法, 研究了C₂-C₅直链烯烃在HY 和H-ZSM-5 分 子筛上的吸附性质. 理论计算结果表明: 烯烃与分子筛的Br?nsted 酸性位相互作用形成π配位超分子复合物; 随着碳链的增长, 烯烃的吸附能增加, 增加量近似为一个常数(HY 分子筛: 约12 kJ·mol^-1; H-ZSM-5 分子筛: 约 25 kJ·mol^-1), 与烷烃在分子筛上的吸附具有相同的规律. 双键位置对烯烃的吸附能影响很大, 2位烯烃的吸附能 要远大于1 位烯烃的吸附能. 不同类型分子筛对烯烃的吸附性能也有很大差别, 由于局域效应的影响, 小孔径 H-ZSM-5分子筛上的吸附能大于大孔径的HY分子筛,而且碳链越长,这种差别越大.从微观结构上看,吸附的烯 烃与H-ZSM-5分子筛酸性位的距离要远大于它们与HY分子筛酸性位的距离, 这是由于不同类型分子筛的微孔 结构产生的范德华作用是不同的,这种作用随着孔径的减小而增强.前线轨道分析表明, 对于小分子烯烃,大孔径 HY分子筛对其催化活性相近,而小孔径H-ZSM-5分子筛随着烯烃碳原子数的增加催化活性有减弱的趋势.     

Kinetics and mechanism of atmospheric reactions of partially fluorinated alcohols

Gas-phase reactions typical of the Earth’s atmosphere have been studied for a number of partially fluorinated alcohols (PFAs). The rate constants of the reactions of CF₃CH₂OH, CH₂FCH₂OH, and CHF₂CH₂OH with fluorine atoms have been determined by the relative measurement method. The rate constant for CF₃CH₂OH has been measured in the temperature range 258–358 K (k = (3.4 ± 2.0) × 10¹³exp(?E/RT) cm³ mol^?1 s^?1, where E = ?(1.5 ± 1.3) kJ/mol). The rate constants for CH₂FCH₂OH and CHF₂CH₂OH have been determined at room temperature to be (8.3 ± 2.9) × 10¹³ (T = 295 K) and (6.4 ± 0.6) × 10¹³ (T = 296 K) cm³ mol^?1 s^?1, respectively. The rate constants of the reactions between dioxygen and primary radicals resulting from PFA + F reactions have been determined by the relative measurement method. The reaction between O₂ and the radicals of the general formula C₂H₂F₃O (CF₃CH₂? and CF₃?HOH) have been investigated in the temperature range 258–358 K to obtain k = (3.8 ± 2.0) × 10⁸exp(?E/RT) cm³ mol^?1 s^?1, where E = ?(10.2 ± 1.5) kJ/mol. For the reaction between O₂ and the radicals of the general formula C₂H₄FO (? HFCH₂O, CH₂F?HOH, and CH₂FCH₂?) at T = 258–358 K, k = (1.3 ± 0.6) × 10¹¹exp(?E/RT) cm³ mol^?1 s^?1, where E = ?(5.3 ± 1.4) kJ/mol. The rate constant of the reaction between O₂ and the radicals with the general formula C₂H₃F₂O (?F₂CH₂O, CHF₂?HOH, and CHF₂CH₂?) at T = 300 K is k = 1.32 × 10¹¹ cm³ mol^?1 s^?1. For the reaction between NO and the primary radicals with the general formula C₂H₂F₃O (CF₃CH₂? and CF₃?HOH), which result from the reaction CF₃CH₂OH + F, the rate constant at 298 K is k = 9.7 × 10⁹ cm³ mol^?1 s^?1. The experiments were carried out in a flow reactor, and the reaction mixture was analyzed mass-spectrometrically. A mechanism based on the results of our studies and on the literature data has been suggested for the atmospheric degradation of PFAs.

The kinetics of the reactions of C2 (a 3pi(u)) with alcohols

The reactions of C2 (a 3pi(u)) radicals with a series of alcohols have been studied at about 6.5 Torr total pressure and room temperature using the pulsed laser photolysis/laser-induced fluorescence technique. The relative concentration of C2 (a 3pi(u)) radicals, which are generated via the photolysis of C2Cl4 with the focused output from the fourth harmonic of a Nd:YAG laser (266 nm), was monitored by laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) in the (0, 0) band of the C2 (d 3pi(g)<--a 3pi(u)) transition at 516.5 nm. Under pseudo-first-order conditions, we measured the time evolution of C2 (a 3pi(u)) and determined the rate constants for reactions of C2 (a 3pi(u)) with alcohols. The rate constants increase linearly with the number of C atoms in the alcohols. All of them are larger than those for reactions of C2 (a 3pi(u)) with alkanes (C1-C5). Based on the bond dissociation energy and linear free energy correlations, we believe the reactions of C2 (a 3pi(u)) with alcohols proceed via the mechanism of hydrogen abstraction. The experimental results show that the H-atom on the C-H bonds is activated at the presence of the OH substituent group in the alcohol molecule. The theoretical calculations for the reaction of C2 (a 3pi(u)) with methanol also support these hypotheses.     

Photocatalytic liberation of hydrogen from C1-C4 alcohols with the participation of titanium complexes

It was established that in UV irradiation of solutions of TiCl₄ in methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, and butanol, alcohol-chloride complexes of titanium(III) are formed. The quantum yields of the formation of coordination compounds of titanium(III) depend on the nature of the alcohol: 0.08 (methanol); 0.13 (ethanol); 0.20 (butanol); 0.22 (isopropanol). As complexes of titanium(III) accumulate in solution, there is a liberation of molecular hydrogen. The quantum yields of the formation of hydrogen, determined in a steady-state process, are correlated with the values of the C-H bond energy at the -carbon atom of the alcohol and are equal to 2·10^–3, 3.4·10^–3, 4.3·10^–3 and 1·10^–2 for solutions in methanol, butanol, ethanol, and isopropanol, respectively. A substantial increase in the quantum yield of the formation of molecular hydrogen was detected when a heterogeneous catalyst (palladium on silica gel) was used, and the possible mechanism of the process of photocatalytic liberation of hydrogen from alcohols with the participation of titanium complexes is discussed.Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Éksperimental'naya Khimiya, Vol. 3, No. 2, pp. 181–186, March–April, 1987.The authors would like to thank V.

Fluidization of cation exchangers with regenerating sulfuric acid solution

Dependences of the bed expansion of cation exchangers (weakly acidic Lewatit CNP 80 and strongly acidic KU-2×8) on the flow velocity, temperature, and concentration of the regenerating sulfuric acid solution were determined. An equation describing the dependence of the bed expansion of cation exchangers on the flow velocity, temperature, and concentration of sulfuric acid, common to the two ion exchangers, was derived, which allows a priori determination of the extent of bed expansion in regeneration of cation exchangers in the fluidization mode.     

The formation of dimetallocycles from reactions of alkynes with (η-C5Me5)2Rh2(CO)2; X-ray structure of [(η-C5Me5)2Rh2(η-CO) {μ-η2,η2-C(O)C2-(CF3)2}]

The complexes (η-C₅Me₅)₂Rh₂(μ-CO) {μ-η²,η²-C(O)CRCR} are obtained from reactions between (η-C₅Me₅)₂Rh₂(CO)₂ and the alkynes RCCR (R  CF₃, CO₂Me, or Ph) at 25°C. The molecular geometry of the complex with R  CF₃ has been established by X-ray diffraction; the bridging 'ene-one' unit adopts a μ-η²,η² conformation. Other complexes isolated from these reactions include (η-C₅Me₅)Rh(C₆R₆) (R  CF₃, CO₂Me), (η-C₅Me)₂Rh₂(C₄R₄) (R  CO₂Me) and (η-C₅Me₅)₂Rh₂(CO₂C₂R₂) (R  Ph). The reaction between (η-C₅Me₅)₂Rh₂(CO)₂ and C₆F₅CCC₆F₅ gives (η-C₅Me₅)₂Rh₂(CO)₂(C₆F₅C₂C₆F₅). Mononuclear complexes such as (η-C₅Me₅)Co(C₄R₄CO) are the major products isolated from reactions between (η-C₅Me₅)₂CO₂(CO)₂ and alkynes at 25°C.     

Photochemical reactions of hypericin with alcohols and albumins. Kinetics and mechanism of the primary processes

The photochemical reactions of the hypericin sodium salt with alcohols and albumins yielding the corresponding semiquinone radical were studied by means of microsecond and nanosecond pulse photolysis. The decay of the semiquinone radical follows the second-and first-order rate law for alcohol solutions and the NaHY-albumin system, respectively. The lifetime and the yield of the semiquinone radical decrease in the presence of oxygen. In the oxygen-saturated solutions, the lifetime of the semiquinone radical increases with an increase in the albumin concentration in the solution from 1 to 50 mg/ml. This effect is caused by a decrease in the reactivity of the semiquinone radical toward oxygen due to the steric hindrance created by albumin and is not associated with an increase in the solvent viscosity.     

Kinetics of the reaction of C2H5O2 with NO at 295 K

The reaction of C₂H₅O₂ with NO in helium carrier gas at 295 K with [He] = 1.6 × 10¹⁷ cm^?3 has been studied using a gas flow reactor sampled by a mass spectrometer. Because no parent molecular ion or suitable fragment ion produced by C₂H₅O₂ could be detected, the reaction was followed by measuring the formation of NO₂. In so doing, account had to be taken of the small amount of HO₂ known to be present in the reaction mixture, which also leads to NO₂ on reaction with NO. The rate coefficient for the total reaction of C₂H₅O₂ with NO was found to be (8.9 ± 3.0) × 10^?12 cm³/s, and the path which produces NO₂ was found to account for at least 80% of all C₂H₅O₂.     

Kinetics of the gas‐phase reactions of hydroxyl radicals with C1–C6 aliphatic alcohols in the presence of ammonium sulfate aerosols

The effects of ammonium sulfate aerosols on the kinetics of the hydroxyl radical reactions with C₁–C₆ aliphatic alcohols have been investigated using the relative rate technique. P‐xylene was used as a reference compound for the C₂–C₆ aliphatic alcohols study, and ethanol was used as a reference compound for the methanol study. Two different aerosol concentrations that are typical of polluted urban conditions were tested. The total surface areas of aerosols were 1400 μm² cm^?3 (condition I) and 3400 μm² cm^?3 (condition II). Results indicate that ammonium sulfate aerosols promote the ethanol/OH radical and 1‐propanol/OH radical reactions as compared to the p‐xylene/OH radical reaction. The relative rate of the ethanol/·OH reaction versus the p‐xylene/·OH reaction increased from 0.19 ± 0.01 in the absence of aerosols to 0.24 ± 0.01 and 0.26 ± 0.02 under aerosol conditions I and II, respectively. The relative rate of the 1‐propanol/·OH reaction versus the p‐xylene/·OH reaction increased from 0.45 ± 0.03 in the absence aerosols to 0.56 ± 0.02 and 0.55 ± 0.03 under aerosol conditions I and II, respectively. However, significant changes in the relative rates of the 1‐butanol/·OH, 1‐pentanol/·OH, and 1‐hexanol/·OH reactions versus the p‐xylene/·OH reaction were not observed for either aerosol concentration. The relative rates of the methanol/·OH reaction versus the ethanol/·OH reaction were identical in the absence and presence of aerosols. These results indicate that ammonium sulfate aerosols promote the methanol/·OH reaction as much as the ethanol/·OH reaction (as compared to the p‐xylene/·OH reaction). © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Kinetics of the DS-radical reactions with CINO and NO2

The rate constants for the reactions of the DS radical with NO₂ (reaction 1) and ClNO (reaction 2) have been measured using the discharge-flow technique at 2 torr total pressure of helium. The DS radical was monitored by laser-induced fluorescence. The reactions were found to have the following bimolecular rate constants (95% confidence level, in units of cm³ molecule^?1 s^?1): This expression for k₁ is found to be in excellent agreement with one of several previous studies. The magnitude of k₂ is examined within the framework of a well-established reactivity trend. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
