Nouveaux thiochlorures de molybdène(II): Mo6Cl10Y (Y = S,Se, Te): Structure et propriétés magnétiques et électriques

The thiochlorides Mo₆Cl₁₀Y (Y = S, Se, Te) have been prepared; they are isostructural with Nb₆I₁₁, space group Pccn, and have four formula units per unit cell. The X-ray structure of Mo₆Cl₁₀Se has been determined from three-dimensional single-crystal counter data and refined to a final R value of 0.053 for 3350 independent reflections. The most important result concerning this structure is a statistical distribution of the Se atom on the unit (Mo₆X′₈) with $\text{X′ ?}\text{7}\text{8}\text{Cl}\text{+}\text{1}\text{8}\text{Se}$: so the compound Mo₆Cl₁₀Se must be formulated $\text{(Mo}{}_6\text{Cl}{}_7\text{Se)Cl}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>4</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}\text{Cl}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>2</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}$. The diamagnetic and dielectric behavior of these new thiochlorides is discussed.     

Formation of m- and p-xylenes during dehydrocyclization of n-octane on chromium oxide catalysts

Conclusions In the dehydrocyclization of n-octane the m- and p-xylenes are formed as a result of the isomerization of the carbon skeleton of the aliphatic intermediate products of the reaction, namely the octadienes and octatrienes.Deceased.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 7, pp. 1675–1676, July, 1973.

Oxidative Transformations of Phenylacetylene on a Manganese(IV) Oxide Adsorbent-Catalyst

It is shown by IR spectroscopy and thermally programmed surface reactions that the complete oxidation of phenylacetylene on hydrated manganese dioxide in an adsorption catalytic regime occurs via dissociation of the CC bond (during chemisorption) with the formation of formate and benzoate on the surface.     

Low-dimensional chainlike assemblies of TiO2 nanorod-stabilized Au nanoparticles

A simple and versatile light-based strategy to grow low-dimensional gold superstructures is presented; prolonged UV-irradiation of TiO2 nanorod-stabilized Au nanoparticles in organic media promotes the progressive formation of distinctive chainlike metal assemblies, namely segments of a few gold particles, 2D or quasi-1D large structures composed of interlacing lines of hundreds of metal units over areas of about 500 nm2.     

Diffusion Boundary Layers in Transport of Aliphatic Acids in Electromembrane Systems

The regularities of the formation of diffusion boundary layers during the transport of aliphatic acids in electromembrane systems are studied and their characteristics obtained experimentally are analyzed. It is shown that their concentration profiles in solutions of the electrodialyzer sections are asymmetric near membranes of different polarity. Experimental values of diffusion layer thicknesses are compared with those following from the known theoretical relations. The equation, which is proposed for the surface concentration, permits the prediction of the operation mode of apparatus during electrodialysis of solutions of aliphatic acids and other weak electrolytes. Specific features characterizing the emergence of a limiting state and the character of the distribution of limiting current densities over the height of the membrane channel are revealed.
