Coupling of thermometric titrimetry and constant-current coulometry: Study and applications

Two systems involving the coupling of thermometric and coulometry are presented. In the first assembly, the two electrodes were in the same compartment. Bromocoulometry was used to test the possibilities of this coupling in the sequential titration of a vitamin C+ aspirin mixture about (10^–4 M) and the determination of enthalpy changes. In a second coupling system, the anodic and cathodic compartments were separated by a sintered-glass disc of porosity 3. The conditions for obtaining an electrochemical cell which is also a good calorimeter are discussed. Examples of applications are given, such as analytical measurements, the study of an electrochemically catalysed reaction and of the thermal effects of electrode reactions.

Zusammenfassung Zwei Systeme werden beschrieben, die eine Kombination von thermometrischer Titrimetrie und Coulometrie darstellen. Bei der ersten Vorrichtung sind die Elektroden im gleichen Raum Untergebracht. Die Bromocoulometric wurde zur Testung der durch diese Kombination für die aufeinanderfolgende Titration von Vitamin C/Aspirin Gemischen (ungefähr 10^–4 M) und für die Bestimmung der Enthalpieänderungen gebotenen Möglichkeiten angewandt. In einem zweiten kombinierten System waren Anoden- und Kathodenraum durch ein Sinterglasfilter der Porosität 3 voneinander getrennt. Es werden die Bedingungen diskutiert, die notwendig sind, um eine elektrochemische Zelle zu erhalten, die zugleich auch ein gutes Kalorimeter ist. Anwendungsbeispiele sind angegeben, wie analytische Messungen und elektrochemische Untersuchungen katalysierter Reaktionen oder thermischer Effekte von Elektrodenreaktionen.

Effect of the roughness factor on the surface oxidation of ruthenium catalysts

The surface oxidation of ruthenium catalysts with different roughness factor values has been analyzed. It is shown that electro formation of oxidized species on the exposed surface of ruthenium is strongly affected by the rougher characteristics of the surface. This effect has been explained through the addition and removal of protons to and from the oxidized species.

Thermochemistry of hydrated rare earth orthophosphates

The hydrated rare earth orthophosphates LnPO₄ ·xH₂O (Ln=La-Dy) contain zeolitic water in the structural channels, which is released reversibly up to 300°. The thermal stabilities of the hydrates depend upon the nature of the Ln atom. The dehydration temperature decreases with decreasing ionic radiusr of Ln³⁺, according to the general equation=(r–a)/b (where is the DSC and/or DTG dehydration peak temperature, anda andb are empirical constants depending on the experimental conditions).The contracting-area rate equation was valid for linearization of the isothermal vs. time plots in the range 0; 0.65. Kinetic values ofE, A, H ⁺ and S⁺ were calculated and the kinetic stabilities of the hydrates are discussed.

Kinetics of oxidation of acrolein on a vanadium-molybdenum oxide catalyst

A kinetic study has shown that, in the range of low conversions, the reaction rate depends only on the partial pressure of oxygen. Comparison of the oxidation of acrolein and I-deuteroacrolein suggests that the splitting of the H–CO bond is not rate-limiting.

Fossil age determination by thermal analysis

Subsequent to a comparative examination of recent bone material the author has recently completed the paleobiogeochemical evaluation of classical Quaternary and Pliocene terrestrial fossils of vertebrata from Hungary. A derivatograph (MOM) has been used to determine two thermoanalytical parameters which are closely associated with the passage of geological time: the total bound organic-matter content of the fossil and the fossilization cofficient.Derivatographic measurement of the organic matter in the bones is supplemented by fine-structure analysis of bone-tissue slides.Sample material of unknown age from several provenances was evaluated with the new dating method. The importance of the procedure is even greater in cases when only indefinite sporadic finds can be obtained from the sediments.

Molecular Recognition Based on Roof-shaped Diol Hosts. X-Ray Crystal Structures of Inclusion Compounds with Methanol, Pyridine and Toluene

Three crystalline inclusion compounds of roof-shapedtrans-11,12-bis(diaryl-hydroxymethyl)-9,10-dihydro-9,10-ethanoanthracene host molecules [where aryl is 4-methyl-phenyl (3) or4-t-butylphenyl (4)] have been studied by X-ray diffraction.The crystals of both the 3methanol (2 : 1) [a = 10.755(1),b = 11.571(1), c = 14.697(2) Å, = 75.12(1), = 89.67(1), = 87.13(1) °] and the 4-pyridine (2 : 3) compounds[a = 14.045(3), b = 14.366(3), c = 15.607(3) Å, = 91.62(1), = 103.65(1) and =116.05(1)°] are triclinic (P–1),while the 3toluene (1 : 1) complex has orthorhombic (Fddd) symmetry [a = 16.041(1), b = 25.008(1), c = 40.440(4) Å]. The host–guest interactions in both triclinic crystals are characterised by hydrogen bonds, with different patterns however. The determined crystal structures indicate a compromise between the requirement of hydrogen bonding on the one hand and close packing on the other. The highly symmetrical host framework in the toluene (1 : 1) complex of 3 seems to be the result of shape recognition, although atendency towards weak (C_methyl)H _arylinteractions [C_methyl = 3.533(7) and 3.674(6) Å] between the hosts was observed. The present roof-shaped diol hosts give excellent examples of molecular recognition by exhibiting two significantly different conformations, mostly depending on the proton donor/acceptor ability of the guest component. (O)H O intramolecular bonding between the two alcoholic groups characterises the so-called active form, whereas weaker (O)H and interactions stabilise the `inactive'conformation.

The thermal decomposition reactions of bis-(pyridine-2-aldoxime)-copper(II) complexes

The thermal properties of some complexes of copper(II) with pyridine-2-aldoxime (HPAO), where the ligand appears either as the ion (PAO^–) or as a neutral molecule, were determined in vacuo and in dynamic nitrogen and oxygen gas atmospheres. The study was carried out by thermoanalytical (TG, DTG. DTA), spectroscopic and spectrometric (UV-visible, IR, diffuse reflectance, mass) techniques.The initial decomposition temperature is influenced by the number of acid hydrogens in the complex; the thermal stability sequence in vacuo is: [Cu(PAO)₂H]Cl > [Cu(PAO)₂H₂]Cl₂ > [Cu(PAO)₂]The thermal decomposition reactions occur in several separate steps, the first of which gives rise to partial ligand decomposition, the reduction of copper(II) to copper(I), and the conversion of the residual pyridine-2-aldoxime into acid amide.

Zusammenfassung Die thermischen Eigenschaften einiger Komplexe von Kupfer(II) mit Pyridin-2-aldoxim (HPAO), in denen der Ligand entweder als Ion (PAO^–) oder als neutrales Molekül vorliegt, wurden im Vakuum und in dynamischer N₂- und O₂-Atmosphäre ermittelt. Zur Untersuchung wurden thermoanalytische (TG, DTG, DTA) und spektrometrische (UV-sichtbar, IR, diffuse Reflektionsspektrophotometrie, Massenspektrometrie) Techniken herangezogen. Die Temperatur, bei der die Zersetzung beginnt, wird durch die Zahl der sauren Wasserstoffatome im Komplex beeinflußt; für die thermische Stabilität im Vakuum gilt die Reihenfolge [Cu(PAO)₂H]Cl > [Cu(PAO)₂H₂]Cl₂ > [Cu(PAO)₂]. Die thermischen Zersetzurigsreaktionen verlaufen in mehreren diskreten Schritten, wobei der erste von diesen eine partielle Zersetzung des Liganden, die Reduktion von Kupfer(II) zu Kupfer(I) und die Konversion des verbleibenden Pyridin-2-aldoxims in das Säureamid in sich einschließt.

A Thermal study of the precipitates formed in ammonia neutralization of acidic solutions of dissolved phlogopite

The precipitates containing mainly iron, aluminium and magnesium hydroxides, obtained from phlogopite dissolved in nitric acid by means of the neutralization procedure with ammonia, have been investigated by thermal analysis (TG, DTG and DTA). According to the present study, which is part of a larger investigation into the chemical utilization of Finnish mica minerals, the formation of solid solutions between iron and aluminium hydroxides in silt increases with an increasing neutralization temperature. Nitrogen exists mainly in the form of nitrate in silts, and magnesium forms mixed hydroxides with aluminium, which causes a separation between the iron hydroxide and magnesium aluminium hydroxide phases.

Stickstoff kommt in Schluff hauptsächlich in Form von Nitraten vor, und Magnesium bildet Mischhydroxide mit Aluminium, was eine Trennung der Eisenhydroxidphase von der Magnesium-Aluminium-Hydroxidphase bewirkt.

Usefulness of kinetic parameters in investigations of thermal decompositions of solids

The theoretical curves in the coordinates a vs. time for isothermal, and avs. temperature for non-isothermal experiments are calculated as functions of three kinetic parameters: activation energyE, pre-exponentical factorA and theg() function describing the mechanism of thermal decomposition of solids. The results show that conclusions not taking into consideration all three parameters can lead to information of little value concerning the mechanism of the decomposition and kinetic calculations. A correlation between non-isothermal and isothermal experiments, important for determination of the thermal stabilities of the compounds, is impossible without a knowledge of theg() function.

Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass Schlussfolgerungen, die nicht alle drei Parameter berücksichtigen, zu, Ergebnissen von geringer Aussagekraft bezüglich des Zersetzungsmechanismus und der kinetischen Interpretation führen. Eine Korrelation nicht-isothermer und isothermer Experimente, die für die Bestimmung der thermischen Stabilität der Verbindungen wichtig ist, ist ohne Kenntnis der Funktiong() unmöglich.
