Kinetic isotope effect in trans-alkylation with ethylbenezene

Kinetic isotope effect (KIE) measurements in the trans-alkylation of toluene and benzene with ethylbenzene in hexane in the presence of AlBr₃ at 313 K indicate that deuterium in the toluene methyl group causes a small inverse KIE characteristic for a -complex transiton state. The small direct KIE found for the reaction with C₂D₅C₆H₅ does not agree with a mechanism involving alkyl-and -phenylalkyl cations.

ESR studies on stabilized cool flame of propylene

In the oxidation of propylene a sharp change in the concentration of radicals, observed when passing from the slow reaction region to cool flames, indicates the chain character of the cool flame. Unlike propane and butane, the temperature dependence of the radical concentration and the maximum self-heating are practically unchanged within 603–663 K.

Thermal characterization of bismaleimide blends

4,4-bismaleimidophenyl methane (BM) and 3,3-bismaleimidophenyl sulfone (BS) were blended in solution using weight ratios 31 (MS31), 21 (MS21), 11 (MS11), 12 (MS12) and 13 (MS13). Chain extended bismaleimide resins were also prepared by treating BS/BM with 4,4-diaminodiphenyl ether in molar ratios of 10.3 (BM-E and BS-E resins). These resins were also blended with bismaleimides and the curing characteristics were evaluated by differential scanning calorimetry. Increase in BM content in BMBS blends or increase in chain extended bismaleimide content in BM-EBS or BS-E BM blends resulted in a reduction of melting and curing temperatures. Indication about the extent of cross-linking was obtained from solubility measurements (in DMF) of isothermally cured resins (180 °C, lh and 220 °C, lh in an air oven). Thermogravimetric analysis of samples isothermally cured at 180 °C and 220 °C (lh each) was carried out in nitrogen atmosphere. Improvement in thermal stability of chain extended bismaleimides was observed on blending.

Zusammenfassung 4,4-Bismalimidophenyl-methan (BM) und 3,3-Bismalimidophenyl-sulfon (BS) wurden in Lösung in den Gewichtsverhältnissen 31 (MS31), 21 (MS21), 11 (MS11), 12 (MS12) und 13 (MS13) gemischt. Auch kettenpolymerisierten Bismalimid-Harze wurden durch Behandlung von BS/BM mit Diaminodiphenylether im Molverhältnis 10,3 dargestellt (BM-E- und BS-E-Harze). Die Kennwerte der Aushärtung von Mischungen dieser Harze mit den Bismalimiden wurden mittels DSC ermittelt. Eine Erhöhung des BM-Gehaltes in den BM BS-Mischungen oder des Gehaltes der BM-E BS oder BS-E-Mischungen an kettenpolymerisierten Bismalimiden führt zu einer Erniedrigung der Schmelz- und Aushärtetemperaturen. Hinweise über den Vernetzungsgrad wurden aus Löslichkeitsmessungen (in DMF) von Isotherm (je 1 Stunde bei 180 und 220 °C in Luft) gehärteten Harzen erhalten. Die thermogravimetrische Analyse der Isotherm bei 180 bzw. 220 °C 1 Stunde ausgehärteten Proben wurde in Stickstoffatmosphäre ausgeführt. Die thermische Stabilität der Bismalimide wird durch Verschneiden verbessert.

Investigations on the compatibility of milk fat fractions and lauric fats

The compatibility of a lauric fat with several milk fat fractions (MF) was investigated. The enthalpy of crystallization was measured by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). These values were related to the corresponding values calculated for an Ideal Blend. The different compatibility of the milk fat fractions with the lauric fat could be shown by this method very clearly.

Quantum chemical study of the physical characteristics of the hydroxy groups of zeolites, III

The CNDO/2 method was applied to calculate the electronic structure of HY zeolite using cluster models Si₃AlO₁₂H ₈ ^– and Si₃AlO₁₂H₉. It has been shown that the probability of occurrence of H on a particular type of oxygen as well as the other physical characteristics of zeolite depend on both the type of oxygen and the position of the Al atom.

Hydrogenation of ethylene on gadolinium X, Y and L-type zeolites

It is shown that Gd-zeolites have a catalytic activity towards ethylene hydrogenation at 1 atm. This activity decreases with an increase in the SiO₂/Al₂O₃ ratio from 2.2 to 6.1 and 4.1, i.e. upon going from an X type zeolite to Y and L. For these types of zeolite the activity grows with an increase in Gd³⁺ content from 50 to 80%. Oxygen addition to the reaction mixture stabilizes the catalytic activity of zeolites.

Mechanism of hydrogenolysis and isomerization of oxacyloalkanes on metals, V. Selectivities of metal catalysts in ring-opening reactions of oxiranes

The deoxygenation of methyloxirane to propene and its isomerization to oxo compounds on a Ni/SiO₂ catalyst were studied in a pulse microreactor, in the presence of H₂ as carrier gas, at 473 K. It was found that the deoxigenation leads to the creation of new types of active centers (Lewis acid site-basic site), which cause a change in the direction of ring opening. The differences in regioselectivity observed between Ni and Cu, and Pt and Pd, can be explained by the different affinities of the metals for oxygen. This finding can be generalized to other oxygen-containing compounds.

Kinetic dehydroxylation of nontronite,estimated from isothermal and nonisothermal thermogravimetry

Dehydroxylation of an American nontronite (Manito) was followed via records of isothermal and dynamic thermogravimetry. Analysis of the isothermal weight-change curves (673-753 K). was performed with the procedure suggested by Hancock and Sharp. A fourteen-kinetic equation procedure was employed for analysis of the non-isothermal weight change in the range 623–1023 K. (A second-order decomposition equation seems to fit the dehydroxylation better under these conditions). The activation energies associated with the isothermal and nonisothermal processes are 118.8 and 136.8 kJ/mol^–1, respectively.

Zusammenfassung Anhand isothermer und herkömmlicher Thermogravimetrie wurde die Dehydroxylierung eines amerikanischen Nontronites (Manito) verfolgt. Die isothermen TG-Kurven (673–753 K) wurden mittels der von Hancock und Sharp (1972). Ein kinetisches Vierzehngleichungsverfahren wurde zur Analyse der nichtisothermen TG-Kurven im Bereich 623–1023 K angestellt. Einer Dehydroxylierung unter diesen Bedingungen scheint eine Zersetzungsgleichung zweiter Ordnung besser zu entsprechen. Die Aktivierungsenefgie für die isothermen bzw. nichtisothermen Prozesse beträgt 118,8 bzw. 136,8 kJ/mol.

Conversion of hydrocarbons on supported catalysts prepared via decomposition of surface complexes. Preparation and properties of (Ga+Pt)/SiO2 and (Ga+Pt)/Al2O3 catalysts

The addition of gallium is shown to increase Pt dispersity and its stability to deactivation in n-hexane dehydrocyclization, to decrease the rate of n-hexane hydrogenolysis and to increase the selectivity to benzene, apparently, due to the interaction of Pt clusters with surface Ga ions.

Preparation and properties of high dispersity palladium catalysts

Preparation methods for monodisperse sols of palladium with 9, 15, 30 and 75 Å particles are suggested. It has been revealed that with decreasing size of palladium particles (d25 Å), the dissolved hydrogen species disappear. As a result, their behavior in dimethyl ethynyl carbinol hydrogenation is close to the platinum properties.

Thermal and other studies on bivalent metal selenltes

BaSeO₃·2·5H₂O(I), PbSeO₃· 2H₂O(II) and CdSeO₃·3.5H₂O(III) were prepared and analysed. Their hygroscopicity and solubility was investigated. These compounds have high thermal Stability, as shown by their TG and DTA data. IR spectra show multi-dentate coordination of selenite to cations, due to considerable splitting of the asymmetric v₃ and v₄ bands of SeO ₃ ^{2 –} in the 780-730 cm^–1 and 420-325 cm^–1 region.Tentative structures have been proposed involving bridging oxygen atoms.

Some investigations on the photostabilization of polypropylene

The effect of substituted hydroxybenzophenone, benzotriazole and organic metal complexes on the photooxidation of PP films has been studied. It has been established that NiDBTC added in 1.0 wt. % is the most effective photostabilizer.While in the case of other stabilizers there is a slight increase in the Co content even during the induction period, with the application of NiDBTC practically no oxidation can be observed before the stabilizer completely disappears. This means that NiDBTC inhibits the photooxidation of the polymer even in low concentration.
