Analysis of products of the industrial synthesis of ethylene oxide by two-dimensional gas chromatography using packed capillary columns

Procedures for separating products of the synthesis of ethylene oxide by two-column gas chromatography using both conventional capillary PLOT columns and packed capillary columns of a new type bearing microparticulated adsorbents are proposed. A combination of packed capillary columns with a microthermostat reduces both separation time and the size of the chromatographic system, which becomes compatible with microreactors. The short time of analysis enables the control over the work of a series of microreactors in a cyclic mode using one chromatographic system.     

Effect of methanol dilution on H-ZSM-5 zeolite deactivation in the process of light olefin formation

Conversion of methanol in the presence of H₂O, O₂, H₂, CO, CO₂ and He was studied at 733 K on H-ZSM-5 zeolite. The effect of diluent on the selectivity to light olefins and resistance to coking of H-ZSM-5 were observed. Among the diluents studied only water exerts a promoting effect on prolonged activity of the catalyst. Some explanations of the deactivation process are given.

3, 3, 3-Trifluoropropyl(methyl)cyclosiloxanes

The influence of the number of 3, 3, 3-trifluoropropyl(methyl)siloxane links (/) in the cyclotetrasiloxanes _mD_4-m, where D represents the dimethylsiloxane link and m=0–4, on the rearrangement of these compounds in acetone solution under the action of sodium siloxanolate has been studied. The rearrangement takes place with the formation of a linear polysiloxane the degradation of which yields, in addition to the initial ring, cyclosiloxanes with a different structure. The rate of rearrangement of _mD_4-m and of the formation of a linear polysiloxane rises with an increase in m from 0 to 3. The equilibrium concentration of the linear polysiloxane formed from _mD_4-m is inversely proportional to m. Results have been obtained on the kinetics of the formation of the cyclosiloxanes _mD_n, where m=0–5, n=0–5, and m+n=3–6, in the rearrangement of the rings D₃, ₂D₂, ₃D, and ₄. The reactivity of the siloxane links rises in the sequence (CH₃)₂Si-O-Si(CH₃)₂ < (CF₃CH₂CH₂)-(CH₃) Si-O-Si(CH₃)₂ <(CF₃CH₂CH₂) (CH₃)Si-O-Si(CH₃) (CH₂CH₂CF₃) . Because of the negative inductive effect transferred through the siloxane links, the 3, 3, 3-trifluoropropyl groups strongly activate the siloxane ring with respect to nucleophiiic reagents.For part I, see [3].     

The catalytic reactions of triethyl- and triethoxy-silane with unsaturated sulphides

The hydrosilylation of mono- and di-alkenyl sulphides of the type RS(CH₂)_nCH=CH₂ (R = C₂H₅, CH₂=CH, CH₂=CHCH₂, C₃H₇, n = 0, 1 and 4) by triethyl- and triethoxy-silane, catalyzed by H₂PtCl₆·6 H₂O, (Ph₃P)₃RhCl and (PhCN)₂PdCl₂·Ph₃P, has been studied. The addition of hydrosilane to the double bond of alkenyl sulphide leads to a mixture of two isomeric monoadducts. The hydrosilane can cleave the C---S bond of the initial sulphides giving the corresponding derivatives of thiosilanes, X₃SiS(CH₂)_nCH=CH₂ (X = C₂H₅, C₂H₅O). Hydrosilylation of alkenyl sulphides is accompanied by some side reactions such as dehydrocondensation, reduction and polymerization. The effect of the catalyst nature, the structure of hydrosilane and alkenyl sulphide on the reaction route has been investigated.

Titrimetrische Bestimmung von Zink mit Äthylendiamintetraessigsäure in Gegenwart von Palladium(II)

Zusammenfassung Komplexometrische Methoden zur Bestimmung von Zink in Gegenwart von Palladium(II) wurden ausgearbeitet. Dabei wird Palladium(II) mit Kaliumcyanid getarnt und der Zinkgehalt entweder bei p_H 5,8 oder nach Demaskierung mit Chloralhydrat bei p_H 10 mit ÄDTA gegen Methylthymolblau titriert. Diese Zinkbestimmung läßt sich auch in Anwesenheit einer Mischung von Palladium(II), Kupfer(II), Nickel und Kobalt(II) durchführen.

This zinc determination may also be conducted in the presence of a mixture of palladium(II), copper(II), nickel(II),and cobalt(II).

     

Aufbau und Zunderverhalten von Niob-Bor-Silicium-Legierungen

Zusammenfassung Der Aufbau des Dreistoffes Niob-Bor-Silicium wird bei 1600° C mit Hilfe röntgenographischer und mikroskopischer Methoden ermittelt. Die T 2-Phase sowie die ternäre D 8₈-Phase besitzen einen ausgedehnten homogenen Bereich. Während Silicium in T 2 durch Bor bis annähernd Nb₅SiB₂ substituiert wird, besteht beim D 8₈-Typ eine Gitterauffüllung gemäß Nb₅Si₃B. Oxydationsversuche im Bereich von 400 bis 1200° C zeigen vor allem die Selektivität, indem Nb–Mk bzw. die Nb-Boride bevorzugt in Pentoxyd übergehen. Silicium übt einen stabilisierenden Einfluß auch auf das Bestehen von -Nb₂O₅ aus. -Nb₂O₅ tritt als Mischphase mit Anionendefekt auf, wodurch die sogenannte scharfe und diffuse Form erklärt wird. Die Umwandlungstemperatur - wird teilweise erheblich oberhalb der vonGoldschmidt angegebenen beobachtet. Die -Form wird als M-Modifikation nachBrauer identifiziert und relativ häufig nachgewiesen. Die -Form erweist sich alsBrauersche H-Modifikation und entsteht offensichtlich stufenweise (fast kontinuierlich) aus -Nb-Oxyd. Auf die Anionendefekt-Bildung wird nachdrücklich hingewiesen.Mit 3 Abbildungen     

Synthesis and conversions of metallocycles. 7. A novel approach to the synthesis of 3,4-dialkyl-substituted aluminacyclopentanes in the presence of Cp2ZrCl2

A novel approach was developed for the stereoselective synthesis of trans-3,4-dialkyl-substituted aluminacyclopentanes from -olefins, metallic magnesium, and EtAlCl₂ in the presence of catalytic amounts of Cp₂ZrCl₂. The hydrolysis and deuterolysis products of the 3,4-dialkyl-substituted aluminacyclopentanes obtained are only in the trans configuration.For previous communication, see [1].Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 7, pp. 1607–1609, July, 1991.
