Triplet state formation and type II decomposition in the photochemistry of pentanone-2

The concentration dependences of the quantum yields of Norrish type II decomposition from the singlet and triplet states and of the triplet yiel were determined in pentanone-2 photolysis in iso-octane. The results were interpreted by postulating dissociative intersystem crossing of a singlet exciplex as an additional route for the population of the molecular triplet state.

Kinetics of oxidation of adonitol by manganese(III) pyrophosphate

Adonitol is oxidized to ribose by Mn(III) pyrophosphate under the conditions [adonitol] [Mn(III)]. The oxidation rate is first order with respect to both oxidatn and substrate and decreases inversly with [pyrophosphate]_free. Thermodynamic parameters are reported and a suitable mechanism involving free radicals is proposed.

Thermoanalytical characterization of precipitated acids obtained by alkaline permanganate degradation of the kerogen from Aleksinac (Yugoslavia) oil shale

The precipitated acids, obtained by partial stepwise oxidation of Aleksinac (Yugoslavia) shale kerogen, were studied by thermal analysis. Significant differences were observed in the weight loss and the shape of TG curves of precipitated acids from various degradation steps, indicating their structural differences and heterogeneity of the kerogen. The thermal curves of precipitated acids were found to consist of two distinct parts. From IR data it was found that the low-temperature part corresponded to thermal changes of aromatic, and the high-temperature part of aliphatic type structures. These results were in good agreement with chemical analysis (elemental analysis, atomic H/C ratio, total acidity) of the same acids.

Zusammenfassung Durch partielle schrittweise Oxydierung von Schieferkerogen (Aleksinac. Jugoslavien) erhaltene präzipitierte Säuren werden thermoanalytisch untersucht. Signifikante Unterschiede wurden im Gewichtsverlust und der TG-Kurvengestalt von nach den einzelnen Abbauschritten erhaltenen präzipitierten Säuren beobachtet, was auf deren strukturelle Verschiedenheit und auf die Heterogenität des Kerogens hinweist. Die thermische Kurven der präzipitierten Säuren weisen zwei sich unterscheidende Abschnitte auf. Aus IR-Daten ergab sich, daß im Tieftemperaturabschnitt thermische Veränderungen von aromatischen, im Hochtemperaturabschnitt dagegen von aliphatischen Strukturen verlaufen. Diese Ergebnisse stimmen mit chemischen Analysendaten (Elementaranalyse, H/C-Atomverhältnis, Gesamtsäure) gut überein.

Non-equilibrium ion-(polar) molecule reaction rate coefficients

Using the Fokker-Planck version of an approximate Boltzmann equation for the ion (translational) energy distribution function f_I we have calculated the deviation, k, of the non-equilibrium ion-(polar)molecule reaction rate coefficient k (based) on f_I from its equilibrium value k⁽⁰⁾. The _D (dipole moment)-dependence of the reaction cross section applied leads to a corresponding dependence of k on _D.

Modifying action of carbon dioxide in catalytic oxidation of ethylene on silver

Carbon dioxide exerts a strong inhibitory effect on oxygen adsorption and complete oxidation of ethylene on silver but has little effect on the rate of ethylene oxidation to ethylene oxide.

Dependence of excitation energy on the coordination of oxygen atoms in cluster models of MgO surface

Cluster models of the MgO surface have been calculated by a semi empirical method. The energies of transitions between the surface states localized on ions of definite coordination are dependent on their coordination numbers. The lower transition energies correspond to a lower coordination number of oxygen ions.

Synthesis and properties of hydrodesulfurization catalysts, III. Support effect on the catalytic activity of Co?Mo?Al2O3 catalysts

By means of DTA, reflectanc spectra and measurement of catalytic activity in thiophene hydrogenolysis, the effect of support (aluminium hydroxide and oxide) as well as of the order of introduction of molybdenum and cobalt compounds on the structure and catalytic surface of Co–Mo–Al₂O₃ catalysts is shown.

Oxidation of ethanol by Ce(IV) in acid nitrate medium

The oxidation kinetics of ethanol by Ce(IV) has been studied as a function of pH, nitrate and water concentration. Even at high concentration of H⁺ and NO ₃ ^– several species appear to exist. The oxidation is fastest in strongly acidic medium without added nitrate ions.

Adsorption-desorption hysteresis in porous networks

As a result of computer experiments with model porous networks, the factors (other than pore shape and size distribution) determining the form of the adsorption-desorption hysteresis loop have been elucidated.
