Correlation between structures and thermal properties of hydrated thallium(I) diborates; H2O-Tl2B4O7 phase diagram

Two synthetic hydrated thallium (I) diborates have been found in the liquidsolid equilibria of the 100° isotherm of the ternary system H₂O-B₂O₃-Tl₂O; they were characterized via the powder diagrams, but classical chemical analysis does not lead to the correct degree of hydration. Through TG of the powders, a complex process is found with no explanation. Structural resolution and TG of the monocrystals allow a correct explanation of the thermal dehydration: these thallium (I) diborates are two distinct compounds, Tl₂B₄O₇ · 3H₂O and Tl₂B₄O₇ · 1.5H₂O, which have their own process of dehydration; they contain infinite chains of polyanions and their structural formulae are Tl₂[B₄O₆ (OH)₂] · 2H₂O and Tl₄[B₈O₁₂ (OH)₄]H₂O; the latter polyanion may be considered as the dimer of the first.The H₂O-Tl₂B₄O₇ phase diagram was established by thermal analysis and solubility experiments, both under pressure; it allows the prediction that another hydrated thallium (I) diborate, Tl₂B₄O₇·H₂O, exists, with possible structural formula Tl₆[B₁₂O₁₈ (OH)₆]. Actually, only monocrystals of Tl₄[B₈O₁₂ (OH)₄]·H₂O have been obtained hydrothermally from Tl₂[B₄O₆ (OH)₂] · 2H₂O.

Zusammenfassung Im ternären System H₂O-B₂O₃-Tl₂O liegen bei 100° bei Einstellung des Gleichgewichtes flüssig-fest zwei hydratisierte Thallium (I) -diborate vor; diese wurden durch Pulverdiagramme charakterisiert, die klassische chemische Analyse ergab jedoch nicht den richtigen Hydratationsgrad. Bei TGA von Pulvern verläuft ein komplexer Prozeß, für den keine mögliche Erklärung gegeben werden kann. Strukturaufklärung und TGA mit Einkristallen ermöglichen eine korrekte Erklärung der thermischen Dehydratisierung: die hydratisierten Thallium (I) -diborate sind zwei verschiedene Verbindungen der Zusammensetzung Tl₂B₄O₇· 3H₂O und Tl₂B₄O₇· 1.5H₂O mit unterschiedlichem Dehydratisierungsverlauf, die Polyanionketten enthalten und durch die Strukturformeln Tl₂[B₄O₆ (OH)₂] · 2H₂O bzw. Tl₄[B₈O₁₂ (OH)₄] · H₂O zu beschreiben sind. Das Polyanion der zweiten Verbindung kann als Dimeres des der ersten angesehen werden. Das Phasendiagram H₂O-Tl₂B₄O₇ wurde durch unter Druck ausgeführte thermische Analyse und Löslichkeitsexperimente aufgestellt. Aus diesem Phasendiagramm kann die Existenz eines anderen hydratisierten Thallium (I) -diborats, Tl₂B₄O₇ · H₂O, mit der möglichen Strukturformel Tl₆[B₁₂O₁₈ (OH)₆] vorausgesagt werden. In Wirklichkeit wurden aber nur Einkristalle von Tl₄[B₈O₁₂ (OH)₄]·H₂O durch hydrothermale Behandlung von Tl₂[B₄O₆ (OH)₂] · 2H₂O erhalten.

Oxidative coupling of methane over Bi2O3?P2O5?K2O/Sm2O3

Oxidative coupling of methane over Bi₂O₃–P₂O₅–K₂O/Sm₂O₃ takes place giving more C₂H₄ as compared to C₂H₆. Sm₂O₃ supported Bi–P–K is a more active and selective catalyst, than TiO₂, -Al₂O₃, SiO₂ and MgO supported catalysts.

Design and application of a liquid-flow adsorption micro calorimeter based on the Calvet-type DAK 1-1 microcalorimeter (USSR)

The construction and the properties of a liquid-flow adsorption microcalorimeter are described. The calorimeter is based on the commercially available Calvet-type DAK 1-1 microcalorimeter (USSR), which has been equipped with a flow system consisting of a pump, several sets of heat exchangers and an adsorption cell. The minimum detectable heat effect is 1W up to a flow rate of 30 cm³/h.Results on the application of the calorimeter to adsorption and desorption processes of nonionic (Triton X-100) and anionic (styrene phosphonic acid) surfactant solutions in water at an-Al₂O₃ surface are presented and discussed.

On the change of thermal parameters in a glass during a Na/Tl ion-exchange-characterized by DTA measurements

The Na/Tl exchange is investigated in two silicate glasses (Na₂O·2SiO₂ and crown-flint KF₃) by estimation of concentration or refractive index profiles, resp. (c _Tl(x) orn(x)). The forms of the profiles are discussed in connection with changes of the glass transition temperature T_g owing to an increase of Tl₂O contents, determined by DTA on homogeneous glass samples. During the Na/Tl exchange the local and temporal enlargement of the Tl₂O content causes a drastic decrease ofT _g(x, t) values and of the viscosity (x, t), which yields a remarkable acceleration of the Na/Tl interdiffusion.

Zusammenfassung Der Na/Tl-Austausch wird in zwei Silicatgläsern (Na₂O.2SiO₂ und Kron-Flintglass KF3) anhand der Bestimmung von Konzentrations- oder Brechzahlprofilen (c _Tl(x) odern(x)) untersucht. Die Profilformen werden im Zusammenhang mit Änderungen der Glastransformations-TemperaturT _g bei steigendem Tl₂O-Gehalt diskutiert, die mittels DTA an homogenen Glasproben bestimmt wurden. Während des Na/Tl-Austausches verursacht die lokale und zeitliche Erhöhung des Tl₂O-Gehaltes ein drastisches Absinken derT _g(x, t)-Werte bzw. der Viskosität (x, t), das zu einer bemerkenswerten Beschleunigung der Na/Tl-Interdiffusion führt.

ESR study of the interaction of oxygen and propene with solid CoO?MgO solutions under pulse conditions

An ESR study has shown that under the action of oxygen pulses, radical ions O ₂ ^– with g_I=2.0085 and g_II=2.087 are generated at room temperature on the surface of 1% CoO–MgO. Heating of the sample to 150 °C in the spectrometer results in complete disappearance of the O ₂ ^– signal from the ESR spectra. The variation of the O ₂ ^– signal intensity with time due to the interaction between propene and oxygen adsorbed on the sample surface, has been measured.

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.

Chemiluminescence and auto-oscillations in the (S?Cr2O72+?UO22+) system

Quasi-harmonic oscillations of chemiluminescence intensity at certain concentrations of the components for the (S–Cr₂O ₇ ^2– –UO ₂ ²⁺ ) system in concentrated sulfuric acid and chemiluminescence and dark stages with the participation of intermediates Cr(V), U(IV) and sulfur peroxide radicals (HS₂O₆ ^.) have been discovered. Chemiluminescence is attributed to the interaction of HS₂O₆ ^. compounds. The processes of deactivation of the excited states of uranyl involve the participation of Cr(V). A scheme for the oscillation chemiluminescence reactions is suggested.
