First and second thermodynamic mixing properties of ethylbenzene +n-alkanes: Experimental and theory

Isobaric expansibilities _P and isothermal compressibilities _T have been determined at 25 and 45°C for binary mixtures of ethylbenzene + n-tetradecane and + n-hexadecane and the corresponding excess functions (V ^E /T)_P and (V ^E /P)_T have also been obtained. With these data and supplementary literature values, the following second order mixing properties are also reported at 25°C: _S ^E , (V ^E /P)_T, C_V and (VT). All mixing quantities have been compared with the results obtained at 25°C by using the Prigogine-Flory-Patterson theory of liquid mixtures. The predicted values suggest that the ability of ethylbenzene as a breaker of the pure n-C_n orientations is similar to what we found for toluene and higher than for p-xylene.     

Volumetric Parameters of Interaction of Monosaccharides (D-xylose,D-arabinose,D-glucose,D-galactose) with NaI in Water at 298.15 K

Densities for monosaccharide (D-xylose, D-arabinose, D-glucose, D-galactose)–NaI–water solutions were measured at 298.15 K and were used to calculate the apparent molar volumes of these saccharides and NaI. Infinite dilution apparent molar volumes for the saccharides (V_,S) in aqueous NaI and those for NaI (V_,E) in aqueous saccharide solutions and partial molar volumes of the saccharides (V_S) and NaI (V_E) at each composition have been evaluated, together with the standard transfer volumes of the saccharides (_tr V_S) from water to aqueous NaI and those of NaI (_trV_E) from water to aqueous saccharide solutions. It was shown that the _tr V_S and _trV_E values are positive and increase with increasing co-solute molalities. Volumetric parameters indicating the interactions of NaI with saccharides in water were also obtained and applied to explore the interactions between saccharides and NaI in water. A comparison of the _ES value for NaI with those for NaCl and NaBr showed that for a given saccharide, except for glucose, the _ES value for NaBr is the largest of three sodium halides (NaCl, NaBr and NaI). These were interpreted in terms of the apparent molar electrostriction volumes ( V_e) and the structure interaction model.     

Molekülordnung und Kristallinität in Polyhexamethylenadipamid

Zusammenfassung Kalorimetrische, röntgenographische und IR-spektroskopische Untersuchungen und Dichtemessungen ergaben für PA 66 eine bei anderen Polymeren unbekannte Anomalie. Die Abhängigkeit der Röntgenkristallinitätw _c und der kristallinitätsproportionalen Größen (experimentelle Schmelzwärme H ^*, IR-Bandenintensität) vom spezifischen Volumen ändert sich mit den Kiistallisationsbedingungen. Dies ist die Folge eines konformationsbedingten Übergangs zwichen zwei triklinen Modifikationen unterschiedlicher Dichte. Für aus der Schmelze, dem Glaszustand und verdünnter Lösung kristallisierte Proben treten bei allen drei Meßmethoden hinsichtlich der Abhängigkeit vom spezifischen Volumen drei Bereiche auf. Bereich I: Die Proben enthalten 1-Kristalle mit _c ^I =1,22 =1,22 gcm-³,H _M ^I =235 Jg^–1 und=1,095 gcm _u–3. Bereich II: Die Proben enthalten _II -Kristalle mit _cII=1,165 gcm^–3.H _M ^II =185 Jg _u ^–1 1 und pa =1,095 gcm^–3. Bereich III: Übergangsbereich, in dem sich das spezifische Volumen stärker ändert als we und H ^*, weil die Kristalldichte zwischen _c ^I und ell variiert.Die _c -Wertr wurden außer durch Extrapolation über dem spezifischen Volumen auch aus der Invarianten der Röntgenkleinwinkelstreuung bestimmt. In allen Fällen ist eine .röntgenographische Kristallinitätsbestimmung bei PA 66 willkürfrei und reproduzierbar möglich. Aus Dichte oder Schmelzwärme kannw _c unter Verwendung der ermittelten _c- und H_M-Werte nur bestimmt werden, falls die Proben den Bereichen I oder II angehören. Mit den üblichen Verarbeitungsmethoden erhält man jedoch meist Proben im Bereich III.

Summary From the results of calorimetric, X-ray and infrared spectroscopic investigations and density measurements an anomaly is found for polyamide 66 which is not known for other polymers. The dependence of X-ray crystallinityw _c and other properties proportional to crystallinity (experimental heat of fusion H ^*, intensity of IR-absorptions) on the specific volume varies with the conditions of crystallization. This is due to a conformational transition between two triclinic modifications with different densities.Samples of polyamide 66 were isothermally crystallized from the melt, from dilute solution and from the glassy state at different crystallization temperatures. The results of each of the three experimental methods, when plotted versus specific volume, exhibit three sections Section I: The samples contain _I -crystals with _c =1.22 gcm^–3, H _M ^I = 235 Jg^–1 and _a =1.095 gcm^–3 Section II: The samples contain air-crystals with _c ^I =1.165 gcm-3, H _M ^II =185 Jg^–1 and ppa =1.095 gcm^–s; Section III: Transition range, where the change in the specific volume is greater than that inw _c and H ^*, because the crystal density varies continuously between _c ^I and _c ^II The crystal densities have been determined not only by specific volume extrapolations, but also from the mean square electron density fluctuation of the small angle X-ray scattering. In all cases it is possible to determine the crystallinity of polyamide 66 from X-ray measurements in an unequivocal and reproducible way. The calculation of crystallinity from density or heat of fusion is only possible, if the samples belong to section I or II. The usual processing methods, however, produce samples which belong to section III.

Effect of zeolite support on catalytic activity of Nio clusters

Zeolite Y, partially dealuminated under hydrothermal conditions, is used as a support for nickel clusters. The effect of the zeolite structure and of the means of applying the Ni²⁺ cations on the reactivity of dispersed nickel in CO methanation has been studied. The highest conversion was obtained on samples with developed secondary porosity, impregnated with the nickel ammine complex, [Ni(H₂O)₂ (NH₃)₄]Cl₂. The data obtained are discussed from the point of view of the effect of secondary porosity and the means of introducing the parent Ni²⁺ ions on the localization and thermal stability of Ni^o clusters.

Acid-base properties of supported vanadium oxide catalyst

Reduction of V₂O₅/Al₂O₃ and V₂O₅/silica-alumina produced Lewis acid sites which could strongly adsorb CO (heat of adsorption: 90 kJ/mol). Such strong acid sites were not formed in the cases of V₂O₅/SiO₂ and V₂O₅/MgO. V₂O₅ loaded on Al₂O₃ interacted with the basic sites of alumina but not with the acidic sites, while the V₂O₅ on silica-alumina interacted with the acidic sites of the silica-alumina and decreased its acidity.

Correlation of the Prigogine-Flory theory with isothermal compressibility and excess enthalpy data for cyclohexane + alkane mixtures

The Prigogine-Flory theory is applied to isothermal compressibilities, at 25, 35, 45 and 60°C and to heats of mixing at 25°C for cyclohexane + n-alkane systems. To this purpose, the van der Waals and the Lennard-Jones potentials have been adopted. The energy parameter ₁₂ has been calculated from the experimental data, and its dependence on the n-alkane number of carbons has been studied. Taking the ₁₂ value obtained for the equimolecular mixture, the excess functi¹/ns (V^E/P)_T, H^E and V^E have been calculated and the results compared with experimental values.     

Ab initio investigation of the electron structure in bis-Cu+ acetylene and vinylidene complexes

[Cu(-C₂H₂)₂]⁺, [Cu(-CCH₂)₂]⁺ and [Cu(-C₂H₂) (-CCH₂]⁺ complexes have been studied by the ab initio double-zeta basis set method. It has been established that all calculated compounds are stable to decomposition into two C₂H₂ molecules and Cu⁺ cation and into one C₂H₂ molecules and the respective monocomplex. Calculation results suggest the possibility of intramolecular acetylene-vinylidene rearrangement in the coordination sphere of Cu⁺.

Thermometric study of the dissociation equilibria of the maleinimidodioxime

The values of the dissociation constants of the maleinimidodioxime are potentiometrically determined at various ionic strengths, and extrapolated to zero ionic strength (pK ₁ ^T =10.41;pk ₂ ^T =11.60). From these values and from the thermometric titration curves the enthalpies of neutralization (H _N1=–21.76,H _N2=–23.77 kJ/mol) and the thermodynamic parameters of dissociation of this substance at 25.0 °C are determined ( G ₁ =59.41, G ₂ =66.23, H ₁ =34.06, H ₂ =32.05 kJ/mol; S ₁ =–85.06, S ₂ =–114.64 J/(K mol)).

Strain Energies of α-Alkylsubstituted Styrenes, 1,1-Di-phenyl-ethene,Tri-, and Tetra-phenyl-ethene

The standard (p° = 0.1 MPa) molar enthalpies of formation _fH°_m (1 or cr) at the temperature T = 298.15 K were determined by using combustion calorimetry for -ethyl-styrene (A), -iso-propyl-styrene (B), -tert-butyl-styrene (C), 1,1-di-phenyl-ethene (D), tri-phenyl-ethene (E), and tetra-phenyl-ethene (F). The standard molar enthalpies of vaporization _l ^g H°_m or sublimation _cr ^g H°_m of compounds A to F were obtained from the temperature variation of the vapor pressure measured in a flow system. Molar enthalpies of fusion _cr ^l H°_m of solid compounds were measured by d.s.c. Resulting values of _fH°_m (g) were obtained at the temperature T = 298.15 K and used to derive strain enthalpies of phenylalkenes. The interactions of the substituents are discussed in terms of deviations of _fH°_m (g)from the group additivity rules. These values provide a further improvement on the group-contribution methodology for estimation of the thermodynamic properties of organic compounds.

Berechnung des zeitabhängigen dielektrischen Faktors und der zeitabhängigen spezifischen Leitfähigkeit relaxationsbehafteter Dielektrika aus frequenzabhängigen Messungen

Zusammenfassung Es werden Näherungen mitgeteilt, mit deren Hilfe die spezifische zeitabhängige Leitfähigkeit von relaxationsbehafteten Dielektrika aus der Verlustkomponentet" () des komplexen dynamischen dielektrischen Faktors ^*() berechnet werden kann. Die Näherungen sind wesentlich genauer als die bekannte Hamon-Näherung. Gegenüber der exakten Fouriertransformation von haben sie den Vorteil, daß einen nur in einem beschränkten Frequenzbereich um den Wert =1/t bekannt sein muß und daß sie sehr viel einfacher zu handhaben sind. Es handelt sich bei dieser Näherung um Linearkombinationen von-Werten, die an den Stützstellen= 1/2l _t , 1/2^-1 t,...2⁺¹ t l = 2,3,4 zu nehmen sind. Fürl = 4 beträgt der höchstmögliche Fehler der Näherung 0,8% des Wertes von ₀ () mit =1/t. ₀ steht für die dielektrische Feldkonstante.Desgleichen werden Näherungen abgeleitet, die es ermöglichen, den zeitabhängigen dielektrischen Faktor(t) aus der Speicherkomponente() von ^* () auf einfache Weise sehr genau zu ermitteln. Auch diese Näherungen stellen Linearbeziehungen von() an den Stützstellen = 2 ^q/t , 2^q–1/t,...., 1/2 ^r t,... dar. Dabei treten die-Werte an den mit 1/2 ^r abfallenden Stützstellen als Differenzen [()=1/2 ^r+1 t)- ( = 1/2 ^r t)] in einer unendlichen Summe auf, die sehr schnell konvergiert und im allgemeinen fürr = 3 abgebrochen werden kann. Es werden Näherungen fürq = 1, 2,3 angegeben.

Summary Approximative formulas are derived, which allow to calculate the transient currenti(t) from the loss component() of the dielectric permittivity ^*(). These formulas are of great numerical simplicity and above all they do not require the knowledge of over the whole frequency range as the exact Fourier transformation formula does. The relations given consist of linear combinations of () taken at=1/2 t, 1/2 ^l–1t ,..., 2 ^l+1t forl = 2,3 or 4. The error bounds of the equation withl = 4 are less than 0,8% relative to ₀ (), = 1/t. ₀ is the dielectric constant of the vacuum.In a similar way the time-dependent dielectric factor(t) can be calculated from the storage component () of ^* (). It has been shown that(t) can be represented by a sum of ( = 1/t) and difference terms [( = 1/2 ^j+1 t) –( = 1/2jt)],j =q,q + 1, .... In general these difference terms become negligibly small forj > 3. There are equations given forq = –1, –2 and –3.

Reduction of CuO-containing catalysts, CuO: I: TPR and TGA

For CuO/ZnO reduction has been shown [M. S. W. Vong et al., Catal. Lett.,4, 15 (1990)] to be faster and more extensive with CO than by H₂ and here this is shown to be the case for CuO itself, this being so then it may be preferable to characterize CuO-containing catalysts by temperature-programmed reduction with CO than with H₂. The activation energies of reduction (57–82 kJ/mol) are those expected for chemical reduction, but it is an important finding that the order with respect to hydrogen partial pressure (0.04) is extremely low and far removed from the value of unity often assumed. Different samples of CuO exhibit different reduction characteristics.

Percolation Effects on the Surface of a Polyimide Film Modified with Aqueous Solutions of an Alkali and Acid

A cluster structure of the surface of a polypyromellitimide film was studied by the electron microscopy and ATR IR spectroscopy methods at different steps of consecutive treatment with aqueous solutions of an alkali and acid. The effective size and fractal dimension D of polyamidoacid clusters, as well as the degree _s of the filling of the surface with the latter were calculated from the data of the electron microscopy as a function of the degree of imide group conversion into amidoacid units on the film surface. The _s and D parameters were shown to increase with a rise in : _s = 0.1–0.3 and D = 1.3–1.4 at < _cr and _s 0.6 and D 1.7 at > _cr, where _cr is a critical degree of conversion, which corresponds to the formation of a continuous physical network of polyamidoacid macromolecules or a percolation cluster. In a region close to _cr (at < _cr), the correlation length land the concentration C of the clusters vary according to the laws of the percolation theory for two-dimensional lattices: l (_cr – )^– and C (_cr – ), where = 1.3 ± 0.1 and = 0.67 ± 0.05.
