Thermodynamics of undecanolactone,tridecanolactone, and pentadecanolactone from 0 to 340 K

The heat capacities C_p^o of undercanolactone, tridecanolactone, and pentadecanolactone have been measured between 10 and 370 K in a vacuum adiabatic calorimetric cryostat within about 0.2 per cent. The temperatures and enthalpies of physical transitions have been also estimated. The enthalpies of combustion of the compounds have been measured in an isothermal calorimeter with an accuracy of 0.05 per cent. From the results the functions {H (T) ? H (0)}, S^o(T), and {G^o(T) ? H^o(0)} have been calculated over the range 0 to 340 K, and the values of ΔH_f^o, ΔG_f^o and ΔS_f^o have been evaluated at T = 298.15 K.

Thermochemical properties from ab initio calculations: π- and σ-Free radicals of importance in soot formation: •C3H3 (propargyl), •C4H3, •C13H9 (phenalenyl), •C6H5 (phenyl), •C10H7 (naphthyl), •C14H9 (anthryl), •C14H9 (phenanthryl), •C16H9 (pyrenyl), •C12H7 (acenaphthyl), and •C12H9 (biphenylyl)

The calculated difference in the standard heat of formation Δ Δ_fH°(298.15) of n- and i-C₄H₃^• free radicals is 37.9 kJ mol⁻¹ for G3MP2B3 and 45.0 kJ mol⁻¹ for CCSD(T)-CBS (W1U) calculations, which seems to preclude the direct even-carbon radical pathway to benzene and higher PAH (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon) formation including soot in a hydrocarbon flame. For the phenyl-type σ-radicals listed in the title, absolute values of Δ_fH°(298.15) have been calculated using G3MP2B3-computed values of bond dissociation energies D°(298.15) and combined with experimental values of Δ_fH° (298.15) for the parent hydrocarbon because of a slight systematic overprediction of the thermodynamic stability of large PAHs by the applied computational G3MP2B3 method. Standard enthalpies of formation Δ_fH°(298.15) as well as absolute entropies S° and heat capacities C°_p are given for a series of π- and σ-free radicals important to combustion as a function of temperature. A spread of roughly 40 kJ mol⁻¹ in the average C H bond strength of PAH leading to σ-radicals has been calculated, the lowest leading to 4-phenanthryl (463.6 kJ mol⁻¹), the highest leading to 2-biphenylyl radical (502.5 kJ mol⁻¹). © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Crystal Structure,Electronic Structure,and Luminescence of Cs2KYF6:Pr3+

The crystal structure, electronic states and VUV spectroscopic behaviour of Cs₂KYF₆ doped with Pr³⁺ ions have been investigated both by experimental and theoretical methods. Cs₂KYF₆ ( , Z = 4, a = 945.5(3) pm, R1_all = 0.0297) crystallizes with the cubic elpasolite type of structure. The local relaxation of the activator ions in the host lattices has been calculated by the projector augmented wave method (computer code VASP). The electronic states have been calculated using a spin density functional procedure based on the atomic sphere approximation (computer code ASW). VUV spectroscopic measurements show fast 4f¹5d¹ → 4f² emission of nanosecond duration as well as slow 4f² → 4f² emission depending on the excitation energy which indicates the occupation of different sites in the host lattice. This assumption was verified by a recently developed quantum mechanical method. The combination of the experimental and the theoretical results show that the Pr³⁺ ions are occupying three different sites, namely the Y³⁺ and the Cs⁺ site as well as the K⁺ site.

The temperature dependences of heat capacity were obtained for solid 4f metal dichlorides LnCl₂ (Ln = La, …, Lu) in the quasi-harmonic approximation over the temperature range from 0 K to the melting point T _m .

Thermodynamic properties of poly[<Emphasis Type="Italic">bis</Emphasis>(trifluoroethoxy) phosphazene] in the range from <Emphasis Type="Italic">T</Emphasis>→0 TO 620 K

By adiabatic vacuum and dynamic calorimetry, heat capacity for poly[bis(trifluoroethoxy)phosphazene] has been determined over the 6–620 K range. Physical transformations of the polymer on its heating and cooling have been detected and characterized.

FT-IR, FT-Raman, ab initio and DFT structural, vibrational frequency and HOMO-LUMO analysis of 1-naphthaleneacetic acid methyl ester

In this work, the FT-IR and FT-Raman spectra of 1-naphthaleneacetic acid methyl ester (abbreviated as 1-NAAME, C₁₀H₇CH₂CO₂CH₃) have been recorded in the region 3600–10 cm⁻¹. The optimum molecular geometry, normal mode wavenumbers, infrared and Raman intensities, Raman scattering activities, corresponding vibrational assignments, Mullikan atomic charges and other thermo-dynamical parameters were investigated with the help of HF and B3LYP (DFT) method using 6-31G(d,p), 6-311G(d,p) basis sets. Reliable vibrational assignments were made on the basis of total energy distribution (TED) calculated with scaled quantum mechanical (SQM) method. From the calculations, the molecules are predicted to exist predominantly as the C1 conformer. The correlation equations between heat capacity, entropy, enthalpy changes and temperatures were fitted by quadratic formulae. Lower value in the HOMO and LUMO energy gap explains the eventual charge transfer interactions taking place within the molecule. UV–VIS spectral analyses of 1NAAME have been researched by theoretical calculations. In order to understand electronic transitions of the compound, TD-DFT calculations on electronic absorption spectra in gas phase and solvent (DMSO and chloroform) were performed. The calculated frontier orbital energies, absorption wavelengths (λ), oscillator strengths (f) and excitation energies (E) for gas phase and solvent (DMSO and chloroform) are also illustrated.     

Heat capacity of iron-chromium spinels,Fe3−xCrxO4

The heat capacity of Fe_3?xCr_xO₄ with the composition x = 0.6, 0.8, and 1.0 was measured from 200 to 850 K. A γ-type heat capacity anomaly due to the ferri-paramagnetic transition was observed for all compositions. The transition temperatures were 652, 563, and 451 K for the compositions x = 0.6, 0.8, and 1.0, respectively. The variation of transition temperature with composition is discussed in terms of cation distribution. The magnetic contribution to the observed heat capacity was obtained by assuming that the heat capacity is expressed by the sum of the lattice heat capacity C_v(1), the dilation contribution d(d), and the magnetic contribution C(m). Entropy changes due to the transition were calculated from C(m) as 52.6, 49.7, and 46.3 J K^?1 mole^?1 for the compositions x = 0.6, 0.8, and 1.0, respectively, which are from 7 to 12 J K^?1 mole^?1 higher than the calculated values based on the assumption of randomization of unpaired spins on each ion. The difference between the observed and the calculated values is roughly explained by taking into account the orbital contribution of Fe²⁺ ions on octahedral and tetrahedral sites.     

Thermochemical properties for n‐propyl,iso‐propyl,and tert‐butyl nitroalkanes,alkyl nitrites,and their carbon‐centered radicals

Density functional theory (DFT) based calculations are performed on a series of alkyl nitrites and nitroalkanes representing large‐scale primary, secondary, and tertiary nitro compounds and their radicals resulting from the loss of their skeletal hydrogen atoms. Geometries, vibration frequencies, and thermochemical properties [S°(T) and C°_p(T) (10 K ? T ? 5000 K)] are calculated at the B3LYP/6‐31G(d,p) DFT level. Δ_fH°₂₉₈ values are from B3LYP/6‐31G(d,p), B3LYP/6‐31+G(2d,2p), and the composite CBS‐QB3 levels. Potential energy barriers for the internal rotations have been computed at the B3LYP/6‐31G(d,p) level of theory, and the lower barrier contributions are incorporated into entropy and heat capacity data. The standard enthalpies of formation at 298 K are evaluated using isodesmic reaction schemes with several work reactions for each species. Recommended values derived from the most stable conformers of respective nitro‐ and nitrite isomers include ?30.57 and ?28.44 kcal mol^?1 for n‐propane‐, ?33.89 and ?32.32 kcal mol^?1 for iso‐propane‐, ?42.78 and ?41.36 kcal mol^?1 for tert‐butane‐nitro compounds and nitrites, respectively. Entropy and heat capacity values are also reported for the lower homologues: nitromethane, nitroethane, and corresponding nitrites. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Heat capacity and thermodynamic properties of the alkali metal compounds in the temperature range 300–800 K. I. Cesium and rubidium molybdates

The heat capacities of cesium and rubidium molybdates, Cs₂MoO₄ and Rb₂MoO₄, have been measured by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) in the temperature range 300–800 K. These values have been combined with published low-temperature heat capacity data for Cs₂MoO₄ to obtain thermodynamic functions to 800 K. For Rb₂MoO₄, however, these functions could not be calculated because low-temperature heat capacities are unavailable. Instead, only heat capacity data are reported.
