Long-term γ-radiolysis kinetics of NO3(-) and NO2(-) solutions

Radiolysis kinetics in NO(3)(-) and NO(2)(-) solutions during γ-irradiation were studied at an absorbed dose rate of 2.1 Gy·s(-1) at room temperature. Air- or argon-saturated nitrate or nitrite solutions at pH 6.0 and 10.6 were irradiated, and the aqueous concentrations of molecular water decomposition products, H(2) and H(2)O(2), and the variation in the concentrations of NO(3)(-) and NO(2)(-) were measured as a function of irradiation time. The experimental data were compared with computer simulations using a comprehensive radiolysis kinetic model to aid in interpretation of the experimental results. The effect of nitrate and nitrite, present at concentrations below 10(-3) M, on water radiolysis processes occurs through reactions with the radical species generated by water radiolysis, (?)e(aq)(-), (?)O(2)(-), and (?)OH. The changes in H(2) and H(2)O(2) concentrations observed in the presence of nitrate and nitrite under a variety of conditions can be explained by a reduction in the radical concentrations. The kinetic analysis shows that the main loss pathway for H(2) is the reaction with (?)OH and the main loss pathways for H(2)O(2) are reactions with (?)e(aq)(-) and (?)OH. Nitrate and nitrite compete for the radicals leading to an increase in the concentrations of H(2) and H(2)O(2). Post-irradiation measurements of H(2), H(2)O(2), NO(2)(-) and NO(3)(-) concentrations can be used to calculate the radical concentrations and provide information on the redox conditions of the irradiated aqueous solutions.     

Polymeric (NO)3(N2O) n , (NO)3(N2O) n + , and (NO)3(N2O) n − : an interpretation of experimental observations

Semi-empirical and ab initio calculations are reported which provide a possible explanation for reported experimental results on 2-photon ionization of NO containing a few percent of N₂O, which found (NO)₃(N₂O) _n ^+or? clusters to be significantly more abundant than other (NO) _m (N₂O) _n products. It is found that the observed abundances of (NO)₃(N₂O) _n ionic clusters may be accounted for by the existence of covalent cyclic trimers of nitric oxide attached to oligomers of nitrous oxide. The extra stability of NO trimers in the observed clusters appears to arise from (NO) ₃ ⁺ rather than (NO)₃. Attachment of an (N₂O) _n side chain to (NO) ₃ ⁺ occurs exothermically. It is suggested that the addition of N₂O to cyclic-(NO) ₃ ⁺ might provide a means of making a polymer of nitrous oxide, which could have useful properties.     

NO Adsorption on Ag/Pt(110)-(1×2) Bimetallic Surfaces: Unexpected Formation of Nitrite/nitrate Surface Species

NO adsorption on Ag/Pt(110)-(1×2) bimetallic surfaces at room temperature was inves-tigated by means of Auger electron spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and thermal desorption spectroscopy. An unexpected formation of nitrite/nitrate surface species on Ag/Pt(110)-(1×2) bimetallic surfaces is observed, then decompose at elevated tempera-tures to form N₂. However, such nitrite/nitrate surface species do not form on clean Pt(110) and Ag-Pt alloy surfaces upon NO exposure at room temperature. The formation of ni-trite/nitrate surface species on Ag/Pt(110)-(1×2) bimetallic surfaces is attributed to highreactivity of highly coordination-unsaturated Ag clusters and the synergetic effect between Ag clusters and Pt substrate.

Why intermolecular nitric oxide (NO) transfer? Exploring the factors and mechanistic aspects of NO transfer reaction

Small molecule activation and their transfer reactions in biological or catalytic reactions are greatly influenced by the metal-centers and the ligand frameworks. Here, we report the metal-directed nitric oxide (NO) transfer chemistry in low-spin mononuclear {Co(NO)}⁸, [(12-TMC)Co^III(NO⁻)]²⁺ (1-CoNO, S = 0), and {Cr(NO)}⁵, ([(BPMEN)Cr(NO)(Cl)]⁺) (4-CrNO, S = 1/2) complexes. 1-CoNO transfers its bound NO moiety to a high-spin [(BPMEN)Cr^II(Cl₂)] (2-Cr, S = 2) and generates 4-CrNOvia an associative pathway; however, we did not observe the reverse reaction, i.e., NO transfer from 4-CrNO to low-spin [(12-TMC)Co^II]²⁺ (3-Co, S = 1/2). Spectral titration for NO transfer reaction between 1-CoNO and 2-Cr confirmed 1 : 1 reaction stoichiometry. The NO transfer rate was found to be independent of 2-Cr, suggesting the presence of an intermediate species, which was further supported experimentally and theoretically. The experimental and theoretical observations support the formation of μ-NO bridged intermediate species ({Cr–NO–Co}⁴⁺). Mechanistic investigations using ¹⁵N-labeled-¹⁵NO and tracking the ¹⁵N-atom established that the NO moiety in 4-CrNO is derived from 1-CoNO. Further, to investigate the factors deciding the NO transfer reactivity, we explored the NO transfer reaction between another high-spin Cr^II-complex, [(12-TMC)Cr^II(Cl)]⁺ (5-Cr, S = 2), and 1-CoNO, showing the generation of the low-spin [(12-TMC)Cr(NO)(Cl)]⁺ (6-CrNO, S = 1/2); however, again there was no opposite reaction, i.e., from Cr-center to Co-center. The above results advocate clearly that the NO transfer from Co-center generates thermally stable and low-spin and inert {Cr(NO)}⁵ complexes (4-CrNO & 6-CrNO) from high-spin and labile Cr-complexes (2-Cr & 5-Cr), suggesting a metal-directed NO transfer (cobalt to chromium, not chromium to cobalt). These results explicitly highlight that the NO transfer is strongly influenced by the labile/inert behavior of the metal-centers and/or thermal stability rather than the ligand architecture.

Mononuclear copper( Ⅰ ) complex [Cu(PPh3)2(NO3)] has been synthesized by ligand reduction of cupric nitrate with PPh3 in methanol and characterized by elemental analyses, molecular weight determination, IR spectra and X-ray single crystal analysis; its molar conductivity has also been measured.

Computer simulation study of thermodynamic scaling of dynamics of 2Ca(NO3)2·3KNO3

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of the glass-former 2Ca(NO(3))(2·3KNO(3), CKN, were performed as a function of temperature at pressures 0.1 MPa, 0.5 GPa, 1.0 GPa, and 2.0 GPa. Diffusion coefficient, relaxation time of the intermediate scattering function, and anion reorientational time were obtained as a function of temperature and densitiy ρ. These dynamical properties of CKN scale as ρ(γ)∕T with a common value γ = 1.8 ± 0.1. The scaling parameter γ is consistent with the exponent of the repulsive part of an effective intermolecular potential for the repulsion between the atoms at shortest distance in the equilibrium structure of liquid CKN, Ca(2+), and oxygen atoms of NO(3)(-). Correlation between potential energy and virial is obeyed for the short-range terms of the potential function, but not for the whole potential including coulombic interactions. Decoupling of diffusion coefficient and reorientational relaxation time from relaxation time take place at a given ρ(γ)∕T value, i.e., breakdown of Stokes-Einstein and Debye-Stokes-Einstein equations result from combined thermal and volume effects. The MD results agree with correlations proposed between long-time relaxation and short-time dynamics, lnτ ∝ 1∕, where the mean square displacement concerns a time window of 10.0 ps. It has been found that scales as ρ(γ)∕T above and below the glass transition temperature, so that thermodynamic scaling of liquid dynamics can be thought as a consequence of theories relating short- and long-time dynamics, and the more fundamental scaling concerns short-time dynamical properties.     

Effect of Various Synthesis methods on the Electrochemical Properties of LiNi_(1/3)Co_(1/3)Mn_(1/3)O_2

Layered LiNi1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O2 has the isostructure of α-NaFeO2 and shows high rate capacity with stable cycleability. Furthermore, the thermal behavior of this material is milder than that of lithium nickel oxide and lithium cobalt oxide. In addition, it is expected to be stable at elevated temperatures.

Synthesis and crystal structure of [La(NO3)3(H2O)2(BiPy)]·1.5(BiPy)

The molecular and crystal structure of the [La(NO₃)₃(H₂O)₂(2.2′-BiPy)]·1.5(2.2′-BiPy) compound is determined. The metal coordination polyhedron in the La(III) complex is formed from 10 donor atoms of O₈N₂: 6 oxygen atoms belong to three chelate-coordinated NO ₃ ^? anions, 2 oxygen atoms belong to two water molecules, and 2 nitrogen atoms belong to a bidentate bipyridine molecule coordinated in the neutral form. The structure is based on the metal complexes linked together in chains through the O(W)-H...O hydrogen bonds, in which oxygen atoms of the coordinated NO ₃ ^? anions act as acceptors. It is a framework structure, further stabilized by a system of O(W)-H...N and C-H...N hydrogen bonds, in which nitrogen atoms of the uncoordinated bipyridine molecules act as proton acceptors.     

On the lineshape of νas(NO2) in nitrate esters: 3,3-bis(nitratomethyl)oxetane

The anomalously large splitting and low intensity of ν_as(NO₂) in solid 3,3-bis(nitratomethyl)oxetane, O(CH₂)₂C(CH₂ONO₂)₂, is attributed to the effects of vibrational coupling based on a variable temperature study of the internal modes. In acetone-d₆ solution conformational isomer equilibria involving the ONO₂ groups appear to exist that are manifested in ν_as(NO₂). This compound indicates that both isomerization and vibrational coupling should be kept in mind when using ν_as(NO₂) to obtain structural information on nitrate esters.

Influence of NO on the Reduction of NO2 with CO over Pt/SiO2 in the Presence of O2

Reduction of NO2 with CO in the presence of NO and excess oxygen, a model mixture for flue gas, over a 0.1% Pt/SiO2 catalyst was studied. The related reaction mechanisms, such as oxidation of CO and NO, were discussed. It was found that there was a narrow temperature window （180-190 ℃） for the reduction of NO2 by CO. When the temperature was lower than the lower limit of the window, the reduction hardly occurred, while when the temperature was higher than the upper limit of the window, the direct oxidation of CO by O2 occurred and thereby NO2 could not be effectively reduced by CO. The presence of NO shifted the window to higher temperatures owing to the inhibition effect of NO on the activation of O2 on Pt, which made it possible to reduce NO2 by CO in flue gas.     

Synthesis and dynamics of atropisomeric (S)-N-(α-phenylethyl)benzamides

The synthesis of atropisomeric 2-substituted benzamides 2a-e, 3a-e, and 4a-e, and characterization by X-ray structure analysis of 2d, 2e, 3c, 3e, 4c, and 4e are reported. Dynamic ¹H NMR spectroscopic studies of benzamides 2b-d, 3b-d, and 4b-d indicate that only two of the four possible rotamers are present in solution, with population ratios ranging between 1.5:1 and 4.1:1. The measured free energy of activation to interconversion of the rotamers ranged from 12.4 to 18.9 kcal mol⁻¹. Benzamides ArCON[(S)-phenethyl]₂ (2e, 3e, and 4e), exhibited atropisomer ratios between 1.7:1 and 1:1, and free energies of interconversion of the rotamers ranged from 11.5 to 17.6 kcal mol⁻¹. The highest rotation barriers were observed for the ortho-nitro derivatives 2a-e. Molecular calculations at the semiempirical level (PM3MM) gave free energies of activation for benzamides 2e and 3e of 23.6 and 12.4 kcal mol⁻¹, respectively, which are comparable to the experimental values.
