Salting-in of alcohols in aqueous solutions by tetraalkylammonium bromides at the freezing temperature

The freezing-point depression of the ternary systems tetraalkylammonium bromides-t-butanol-water for the first five homologs of R₄NBr was measured. In the case of Bu₄NBr, the effect of size of the alcohol (methahol ton-butanol) was also investigated. From the corresponding freezing-point data for the binary systems the apparent salting constants were calculated. The true salting constantsk _s were obtained by extrapolation to infinite dilution. These are all very close to zero at the freezing temperature. From the corresponding thermochemical data the temperature dependence ofk _s was calculated, and above 5°C all the R₄NBr salts int-butanol; the salting-in increases with temperature and with the size of the hydrophobic cations. The scaled-particle theory is at present the only one which can account semiquantitatively for the temperature dependence of the salting-in effect.

On the formation of the [M ? OH]+ ion in m-nitrobenzaldoxime. evidence for a cyclohexadiene-type intermediate ion

In m-nitrobenzaldoxime a strongly enhanced loss of OH? is observed as compared with the p-nitro compound. Evidence is presented for a fragmentation mechanism involving the formation of a cyclohexadiene-type intermediate ion formed by a rearrangement of the hydroxyl hydrogen to the phenyl ring.     

Thermodynamic properties of alkali halides. IV. Apparent molal volumes,expansibilities, compressibilities,and heat capacities in urea-water mixtures

The apparent molal volume φ_v, expansibility φ_E, compressibility φ_K, and heat capacity φ_c of NaCl were measured in urea-water mixtures, as a function of salt (<1.5m) and urea (<13m) concentrations at 25°C. At a fixed urea concentration, the transfer functions from H₂O to 3m urea are linear functions of the NaCl aquamolality. At a fixed salt aquamolality, (0.1m), the sign of the transfer functions is in the direction of a decrease in the structure-breaking effect, and the absolute values of the transfer functions tend to level off at high urea concentrations (13m). The functions φ_v, φ_E, φ_K, φ_c, and (?φ_v/?T)_p were measured for the sodium halides and alkali, bromides (chlorides in the case of φ_K) at a fixed salt aquamolality of 0.1m and fixed urea molality of 3m. The corresponding transfer functions from H₂O to 3m urea are opposite those from H₂O to D₂O and similarly are relatively independent of ionic size. This suggests that urea, shows no specific interaction affinity for ions and that the overall number of water molecules influenced by the ions is relatively constant for all alkali halides. The lithium halides are an exception in that Li⁺ seems to have hardly any structure-breaking effect.     

Beitrag zur Kenntnis der Pt(II)-Verbindungen mit Acetoxim

Zusammenfassung Es wurde die thermische Zersetzung dercis-undtrans-Isomeren des [PtAox ₂Cl₂] sowie des [PtAox ₃Cl]Cl mit Hilfe derTG-undTD-Kurven im Falle des reinen Komplexes sowie im Falle einer Mischung mit Al₂O₃ (1:3) geklärt. Dietrans-Form ist stabiler als diecis-Form, die Zersetzung wird durch Al₂O₃ nicht beeinflu\t. [PtAox ₃Cl]Cl wird infolge der Erhitzung in die stabileretrans-Form [PtAox ₂Cl₂] umgewandelt und verhält sich auch weiterhin wie diese.

A contribution to the study of the compounds of Pt(II) with acetoxime

The thermal decomposition ofcis- andtrans-[PtAox ₂Cl₂] and of [PtAox ₃Cl]Cl was studied by means ofTGA andTDA on pure substances as well as on mixtures with Al₂O₃ (1:3). Thetrans form is more stable then thecis form, the presence of Al₂O₃ has no influence on its decomposition. The [PtAox ₃Cl]Cl is transformed by heating into the more stabletrans-isomer and its further behaviour is identical with that of thetrans isomer.

Zdanovskii’s Rule and Isopiestic Measurements Applied to Synthetic Bayer Liquors

Isopiestic measurements of mixed electrolyte solutions involving sodium hydroxide and other components of Bayer liquors were performed at 50?°C and 100?°C. Most of the systems studied obey Zdanovskii’s rule exactly or very closely. However, those with sodium chloride as one of their components show deviations from Zdanovskii’s rule, which are well predicted by our thermodynamic modelling software based on Pitzer’s equations.     

Regiospecifically controlled formation of tetrasubstituted tributyltin ketone enolates catalyzed by a palladium complex

The palladium-catalyzed hydrostannolysis of α-disubstituted allyl β-keto esters yields the corresponding tributyltin β-keto carboxylates which loose carbon dioxide at very moderate temperature, thus leading to the regiospecific formation of tributyltin tetrasubstituted enolates.     

Approximate molecular orbital theory: the ese mo formalism.: III. Parametrization for all- or valence-electron calculation using accurate STF bases for molecules containing 1st, 2nd,and 3rd row atoms. SO2 results

The key components of a completely theoretical parametrization of the essential-structural-elements molecular orbital (ESE MO) formalism using Slater-type AO basis in the LCAO SCF procedure are discussed. Special attention is paid to the problem of separability into core and valence parts of the total molecular wavefunction, including the case where valence functions strongly overlap neighbouring core orbitals. The use of Huzinaga and Cantu effective hamiltonian is proposed. The parametrization is tested in relation to the SO₂ molecules. The role of sulphur 3d functions in bonding as predicted by the present ESE MO calculations and ab initio calculations are compared. The present parametrization appears to adequately handle both the core/valence separation, and the diffuse higher valence sulphur 3d functions in this system.     

Rapid and simple chromatographic separation of V(V) and V(IV) using KH-phthalate and their determination by flame atomic absorption spectrometry

A method was developed for the chromatographic separation of V(V) and V(IV) based on the different sorption forces of these vanadium species in C18 columns in presence of KH-phthalate. The vanadium species were detected with a flame atomic absorption spectrometer with acetylene/N₂O flame. The detection limits (3σ) of V(V) and V(IV) were 0.18 μg/mL and 0.15 μg/mL, respectively. The relative standard deviations (N = 5) are 4.2% and 3.4% for 20–20 μg/mL V(V) and V(IV), respectively. The sampling frequency is 75/h. Because of the special interaction occurring between phthalate and V(IV) on the C18 column and the acetylene/N₂O flame atomic absorption detection, practically no interferences can be detected even in large inorganic matrix.     

Thermal decomposition of cyclic alkylidine peroxides (tetraoxanes)

Thermal decomposition of molten 6,6-bis-(4-methoxycarbonyl-butyl)-1,2,4,5-tetraoxane has kinetic parameters similar to those of the other dialkyl peroxides:

A similar behaviour has also been found for 6,6-bis-(4-aminocarbonyl-butyl)-1,2,4,5-tetraoxane dissolved in dimethylformamide:

In the absence of solvent this cyclic dimeric peroxide is uncommonly stable owing to the relatively high melting point. The increase in activation energy and frequency factor (compensation effect) at the decomposition in the absence of solvent is explained by the stabile aggregation of the amino derivative of tetraoxane in the crystalline state.The reaction heat of the exothermic decomposition reaction equals 102 for the methoxy and 96±6 kcal mol^?1 for the amino derivative.The measurements of rate constants and reaction heat were carried out by the method of differential enthalpic analysis.
