Electrical conductance,density, and viscosity of the molten system lead(II) dodecanoate/lead(II) oxide

Data are presented for densities, electrical conductances, and viscosities of the molten system lead(II) dodecanoate/lead(II) oxide concentrations up to 0.22 mole fraction of the oxide. Values of ?₀ obtained from extrapolation of graphs of density againts temperature are seen to decrease on adding small quantities of PbO, but to increase on adding further PbO. Results from thermal analysis suggest that this may be due to a change in structure of the liquid phase from small. spherical to long, cylindrical micelles. Over the concentration range studied, molar volumes are linear functions of concentration at any particular temperature. The molar volumes of the system lead(II) carboxylate/lead(II) oxide for the even chain acids C₁₀ to C₁₈ are linear functions of chain length. Arrhenius plots for the electrical conductance of the mixtures show curvature, as in other lead(II) dodecanoate systems. The activation energies for conductance in the low temperature region show a steady decrease with increasing PbO concentration and it is proposed that this arises from increased mobility of the charge carrier. The specific conductance at any temperature decreases with increasing mole fraction of oxide, indicating the oxide to be essentially undissociated in the melt. The activation energy for viscosity shows a dramatic increase on adding small amounts of PbO. This is suggested to arise from a change in the structure of the melt. Studies of the viscosities of the system lead(II) carboxylate/lead oxide as a function of chain length for the even chain acids C₁₀ to C₁₈ suggest a slight decrease in the size of the unit of viscous flow when oxide is present.     

Properties of molten carboxylates part 5. A quantitative differential thermal analysis study of mesophase formation in the sytems lead(II)dodecanoate/lead(II) oxide and lead(II)dodecanoate/hendecane

Measurements have been made of the temperatures and enthalpy changes of phase transitions in the systems lead dodecanoate/lead oxide and lead dodecanoate/hendecane. The data have been discussed in terms of the R theory of amphiphylic mesophases. The concepts of the R theory are shown to be useful in the interpretation of phase transitions in molten carboxylate systems.     

Electrical conductance,density and viscosity of the system lead(II) dodecanoate/dodecanoic acid

Data are presented for the densities, electrical conductances and viscosities of the molten system lead(II) dodecanoate/dodecanoic acid. Over the concentration range studied, molar volumes are linear functions of concentration at any selected temperature, although there are indications of deviations from ideal behaviour over the complete composition range from pure soap to pure acid. The molar volumes of the system lead(II) carboxylate/carboxylic acid for the even chain acids C₁₀ to C₁₈ are linear functions of chain length. As with other lead(II) dodecanoate systems, the Arrhenius plots for the conductance of the mixtures show curvature.Activation energies for conductance in the low temperature region show a steady decrease with increasing mole fraction of the acid. It is suggested that this arises largely from the increased mobility of the Pb²⁺ ion. The activation energies for viscous flow in the mixtures are similar to that of pure lead dodecanoate. Studies of the viscosities of the system lead(II) carboxylate/carboxylic acid as a function of the temperature for the even chain length acids C₁₀ to C₁₈ suggest a slight decrease in size of the unit of viscous flow when acid is present.     

Thermal behaviour of styrene butadiene rubber/poly(ethylene-co-vinyl acetate) blends

The thermal behaviour of styrene butadiene rubber (SBR)/poly (ethylene-co-vinyl acetate) (EVA) blends was studied by using thermogravimetry (TG) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The effects of blend ratio, cross-linking systems and compatibilization on the thermal stability and phase transition of the blends were analyzed. It was found that the mass loss of the blends at any temperature was lower than that of the components, highlighting the advantage of blending SBR and EVA. The addition of compatibilizer was also found to improve the thermal stability. DSC studies indicated the thermodynamic immiscibility of SBR/EVA system even in the presence of the compatibilizer. This is evident from the presence of two different glass transition temperatures, corresponding to SBR and EVA phases in both compatibilized and uncompatibilized blends.     

The densities and molar volumes of molten lead(II) dodecanoate/dodecanoic acid mixtures over their complete composition range: Evidence for non-ideal behaviour

Data are presented for the densities and molar volumes of the molten system lead(II) dodecanoate/dodecanoic acid over its complete composition range. For equimolar mixtures, plots of molar volume against temperature show curvature at high temperatures, suggesting deviations from ideal behaviour. Support for this comes from a plot of molar volume at constant temperature against acid mole fraction. Densities and molar volumes are reported for lead (II) carboxylate/carboxylic acid (0.5 mole fraction) and for pure carboxylic acid for the even chain acids C₁₀ to C₁₈. The molar volumes at constant temperature in these cases are linear functions of chain length, although the volume occupied per methylene group in equimolar mixtures is suggested to be slightly smaller than with pure soap or pure acid. An explanation for non-ideal behaviour becoming more marked at higher temperature is given in terms of acid monomer-dimer equilibria.     

Thermal studies on lead(II) salts

The thermal decomposition of synthetic lead(II) hydroxide chloride has been studied between 490 and 520 K over a range of partial pressures of water vapour. The reaction rate is controlled by diffusion of water vapour and Arrhenius parameters have been calculated. The activation energy varies between 92 and 145 kJ mol^?1 and the frequency factor between 10⁹ and 10¹⁵ sec^?1. Water vapour pressure has a profound effect on the reaction rate and a double minimum in the rate is observed. Enthalpimetric data are also presented for the decomposition.     

Study of complex formation between lead(II) acetate andmeso-tetraphenylporphin

The reaction of Pb(OAc)₂ withmeso-tetraphenylporphin in boiling pyridine orN,N-dimethylformamide gave complexes of Pb^II with tetraphenylchlorin or Pb^IV with tetraphenylporphin. The scheme of redox reactions occurring during the complex formation involving Pb²⁺ as the reducing agent was suggested. Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Thermal behaviour of hydrated copper(II) complexes

Dehydration steps of aquacopper(II) complexes with homogeneous and heterogeneous coordination sphere are investigated from the view point of structural changes taking place under their heating to the decomposition temperature and during the dehydration. The role of loosening of intra-and intermolecular hydrogen bonds in the decomposition reaction for the structure changes of the remainder, the structural presumptions of the reactants for lower hydrates formation are discussed. Activation parameters of dehydration were found to be the lower, the smaller are the structure differences between the reactants and products. They do not reflect the bond length central atomvolatile ligand, much more the overall structure differences between the starting and resulting compounds. From all data on crystal and molecular structures of dehydrated compounds is the reaction pathway best indicated by anisotropic temperature parameters of donor atoms corrected for the thermal movement of the central atom: the higher these values in the bond direction are, the lower the values of activation energies of dehydration are.     

Thermal behaviour of Cu(II)-urea complex

The urea complex of copper was synthesized and its structure was established by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), electron spin resonance (ESR) and atomic absorption spectroscopy and elemental analysis to be Cu(urea)₄Cl₂. The thermal behaviour of this complex has been studied by thermogravimetry and differential thermal analysis and FTIR and ESR. Thermal analysis shows that the decomposition of the complex occurs in four stages of weight loss of different intermediates followed by three endothermal effects. The complex is thermally stable up to 428 K. The ESR and FTIR behaviour of the Cu(II)-urea complex during thermolysis was studied between 428 and 633 K. The experimental results suggest that in this temperature range the complex decomposition occurred forming thermodynamically stable regions of Cu(II) which are ferromagnetically coupled.

Thermal behaviour of Uranium(VI) complexes. Uranyl acetate dihydrate-thiourea system: Synthesis and decomposition

The solid-state syntheses of uranyl acetate adducts with thiourea were attempted directly in a DSC apparatus according to the scheme: UO₂Ac₂·2 H₂O_(s)+n thiourea_(s) → → UO₂Ac₂·thiourea_n(s)+2 H₂O_(v) (n=1–6), and the correspondingδH values were evaluated. At all stoichiometric ratios the same UO₂Ac₂·thÌourea product was obtained, to which a pentagonal bipyramidal structure was attributed. Thermoanalytical (TG and DTG) and infrared spectra measurements were also performed and agree with the DSC results.     

Thermal studies of lead(II) salts,VI

The kinetics and mechanisms of the thermal decomposition of lead(II) carbonate and lead(II) hydroxide carbonate have been studied over a range of temperatures and partial pressures of carbon dioxide using both isothermal and programmed heating. All stages in each decomposition are diffusion controlled and Arrhenius parameters have been determined. These values for loss of carbon dioxide are all extremely high for a diffusion process, but show a compensation effect, following the equation: logA=–5.02+0.067E The compensation effect is discussed and comparisons with other systems showing such effects are made.

Zusammenfassung Kinetik und Mechanismus der thermischen Zersetzung von Blei(II)carbonat und Blei(II)hydroxycarbonat wurden bei verschiedenen Temperaturen und CO₂-Partialdrücken sowohl isotherm als auch unter den Bedingungen der programmierten Aufheizung untersucht. Bei allen Zersetzungsschritten ist die Diffusion der geschwindingkeitsbestimmende Schritt; die Arrhenius-Parameter wurden bestimmt. Für einen Diffusionsprozess sind diese Werte extrem hoch, sie zeigen aber einen durch die Gleichung logA=–5.02+0.067E zu beschreibenden Kompensationseffekt, der diskutiert wird. Durch Vergleich mit anderen Systemen wird gezeigt, wie solche Effekte zustande kommen.

Solution behaviour of lead(II) carboxylates in organic solvents

The solution behaviour has been studied of a series of even chain length lead(II) carboxylates (octanoate to octadecanoate) and the odd chain length lead(II) heptadecanoate in a variety of non-complexing organic solvents and in alcohols. In agreement with previous studies, solubility increases dramatically above a certain temperature, which depends on solute concentration, chain length and solvent. This solution temperature is also affected by traces of water. These results are complemented by studies using vapour pressure osmometry, dynamic light scattering, ¹H and ¹³NMR spectroscopy. The results in water-free systems are consistent with the formation of rather ill-defined, polydisperse aggregates, which increase in size with concentration and decrease with temperature. These show similar local structure to lamellar mesophases in the pure lead(II) carboxylates, and are suggested to be formed by solvent induced swelling and break-up of these mesophases. In the presence of water, a more ordered structure is formed, in which a few water molecules are suggested to be bound to the lead(II) carboxylate headgroup.

An investigation of the lead(II)-hydroxide system

A detailed investigation of the Pb(II)/OH(-) system has been made in NaClO(4) media at 25 degrees C. Combined UV-vis spectrophotometric-potentiometric titrations at [Pb(II)](T) < or = 10 microM using a long path length cell detected only four mononuclear hydroxide complexes. The values of log beta(1)(q)(), for the equilibria Pb(2+)(aq) + qH(2)O <--> Pb(OH)(q)()((2)(-)(q)()()+)(aq) + qH(+)(aq), were -7.2, -16.1, -26.5, and -38.0 for q = 1-4, respectively, at ionic strength I = 1 M (NaClO(4)). Similar results were obtained at I = 5 M (NaClO(4)). No evidence was found for higher order complexes (q > 4) even at very high [OH(-)]/[Pb(II)] ratios, nor for polynuclear species at [Pb(II)](T) < or = 10 microM. Measurements using (207)Pb-NMR and Raman spectroscopies and differential pulse polarography (DPP) provided only semiquantitative confirmation. The mononuclear Pb(OH)(q)()((2)(-)(q)()()+)(aq) complexes are the only hydrolyzed species likely to be significant under typical environmental and biological conditions.     

Thermal decomposition behaviour of cobalt(II)-picolyl-terminated poly(dimethylsiloxane)

Thermal, chemical and rheological properties of ultraviolet aged asphalt binder were characterized by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and dynamic shear rheometer (DSR), respectively. Asphalt binder samples were made with different film thickness (50, 100, 200 and 500 μm) and suffered different ageing time (0, 48, 96 and 144 h), at a certain UV radiant intensity of 20 w m^–2 in a self-made accelerated ageing oven. The results indicate that the UV light ageing would lead to the improvement of thermal behavior and the growth of the glass transition temperature of asphalt binder. This type of ageing can be also reflected from the FTIR spectra in terms of the characteristic peaks of the carbonyl groups and sulphoxides. The UV light ageing can change some rheological parameters of asphalt binder, such as complex modulus and phase angle. The ageing degrees of asphalt binder by this type of ageing test are mainly related to the ageing time and film thickness of the sample.     

Thermal behaviour of xanthinium salts of Zn(II), Cd(II) and Hg(II)

Salts [XanH⁺]₂[MCl ₄ ^2- ] (where XanH⁺=protonated form of xanthine and M=Zn(II), Cd(II) and Hg(II) have been synthesized and studied by IR,¹H-NMR, TG and DSC.

Solution behaviour in alcohols and phase transitions of cadmium(II), mercury(II) and lead(II) carboxylates

Data were obtained for the solution behaviour of cadmium(II) and mercury(II) carboxylates in alcohols. A brief survey of the arguments about the existence of micelles and the current models of surfactant aggregation in non-aqueous media is presented. The plots of solubility against the carboxylate or alcohol chain length are linear for both cadmium and mercury soaps with the solubility having values higher in secondary than primary alcohols. The solution behaviour of metal 9, 10-dihydroxyoctadecanoates shows the effect on solubility, of substitution of dihydroxyl groups at the middle of the carbon chain. Recrystallisation temperatures of the dihydroxyoctadecanoates suggest the loss of stereochemical configuration in solution and indicate similarity in the mode of aggregation. The solution temperatures of cadmium soaps are very close to the temperatures of their phase transitions while those of mercury and lead soaps are lower than their fusion or phase transition temperatures. This behaviour is interpreted to be due to differences in the energy required for the disruption of the crystal structure which dominates the solubility mechanism.     

Solubility and aggregation studies of copper(II) dodecanoate in organic solvents

Summary The solubility of copper(II) dodecanoate in tetrachloromethane, heptane, toluene and xylene has been determined as a function of temperature by employing gravimetric and atomic absorption methods. Each system shows an abrupt increase in solubility at a particular temperature and aggregation numbers have been obtained by vapour pressure osmometry to determine whether this is due to the onset of micellisation.
