Die Beziehungen zwischen Adsorptionswärmen,Oberflächen-spannungen und Reaktionswärmen bei dem ReaktionstypusA starr +B gasförmig ⇄AB starr

Zusammenfassung Wird die gesamte Energietönung eines Vorganges vom TypusA starr +B gasförmig AB starr mitE ₁ bezeichnet, die Energie der Chemoadsorption vonB anAB mitE ₂, die der Oberflächenspannung entsprechende, auf 1 Mol sich beziehende Oberflächenarbeit bei der PhaseA mitE ₃ und bei der PhaseAB mitE ₄, so besteht die BeziehungE ₁ +E ₃ –E ₂ –E ₄ =0 . Der isotherme Abbau nach derGibbsschen Funktion kann nur stattfinden, wennE ₃ vergleichsweise sehr groß (unendlich) ist, derjenige nach derLangmuirschen Funktion, wennE ₃ sehr klein (Null) ist.     

Synthesis and electrical conductivity of poly(arylene vinylene). I. Poly(2,5-dimethoxyphenylene vinylene) and poly(2,5-dimethylphenylene vinylene)

The highly conjugated aromatic polymers, poly(2,5-dimethoxyphenylene vinylene) and poly(2,5-dimethylphenylene vinylene), were obtained from their water soluble, sulfonium salt precursor polymers. Films of these polymers were reacted with either AsF₅ or I₂ vapor. Poly(2,5-dimethoxyphenylene vinylene) showed increases in electrical conductivity of up to 14 to 15 orders of magnitude for these two dopants, while an 8 to 9 order of magnitude increase was observed for poly(2,5-dimethylphenylene vinylene) with the same dopants. The synthesis of the precursor polymers, the properties and elimination reactions of films of the precursors, the doping reactions, and the conductivities of the resulting phenylene vinylene films are discussed.     

Synthesis optimization and the properties of 8-hydroxyquinoline ion-exchange resins

The preparation of oxine-containing ion-exchange resins has been treated rigorously. The reactant ratios, nature of cure, degree of cross-linking and hydrophilicity have been evaluated in terms of metal capacity and kinetics of metal uptake. The preparation of a bead polymer with good physical properties is described; stability tests show that the gel polymers must never be allowed to dry, otherwise their advantageous properties are destroyed. Stability towards acids in re-cycling procedures is excellent in terms of metal capacity, but there is some loss in water regain which equates to a slower equilibration rate with constant use.     

Approximate force constant calculations for cis-L2M(CO)4 species

A new procedure based on the criterion of maximum interaction between coupled fundamental vibrational modes has been developed to solve the energy factored force field of cis-L₂M(CO)₄ species. The results for complexes containing a wide range of metal-ligand combinations are compared with the force constants obtained by the Cotton-Kraihanzel and Jernigan methods. The CO stretching frequencies of isotopically-substituted cis-I₂Fe(CO)₄ species have been calculated as a check on the method.     

Paths for the formation of dioxin-type xenobiotics: Quantum-chemical treatment 1. Formation of polychlorobiphenylenes from polychlorobenzenes

The heats of formation of polychloroarynes (PCA's) from polychlorobenzenes (PCB's) have been calculated by the AMI method as a function of the composition and structure of the PCB's according to a two-step scheme including deprotonation with the formation of carbanions (PCCA's, H₁) and dechlorination to PCA's (H₂). The influence of the solvent on H₁ and H₂ has been evaluated in the framework of the solvaton model. It has been shown that the value of H₁ decreases as the number of C1 atoms in the PCB is increased, while H₂ increases along the same series due to the increase in the relative stability of the PCCA as the number of C1 atoms is increased. Although the dimerization of PCA's with the formation of polychlorobiphenylenes (PCBP's) is forbidden by orbital symmetry rules, calculations of fragments of the potential-energy surface have shown that this reaction takes place with an energy barrier amounting to about 1 kcal/mole.A.

Comparison of glass fragments by neutron activation analysis

A method of comparing glass fragments of potential application to forensic sicence has been developed and evaluated. A representative sample of window glass from England and Wales has been collected and analysed for about 25 elements. An automated radiochemical separation followed by gamma-spectroscopy was used in order to determine the concentration of the maximum number of elements. Frequency distributions of the elemental concentration are shown and used to assess the discrimination of the technique and compare it with the measurement of refractive index. A few simulated cases have been included to demonstrate the possible application to forensic science problems.     

Complex formation of copper(II) with chrome azurol s

The complex formation of copper(II) with chrome azurol S (CAS) was studied by spectrophotometric and potentiometric methods. In the pH range 5–7, two complexes with the composition Cu(H₂O)₂HCAS- and (Cu(H₂O)₂)₂CAS were detected; the stability constants were calculated to be log K = 4.02 ±0.05 and log K = 13.7±0.1, respectively (at 25° and ionic strength 0.1 (KCl)). A comparison is made between the copper(II)-CAS and iron(III)-CAS systems.     

Water-soluble cellulose derivatives prepared by the action of solutions of nitrogen dioxide in dimethylformamide

Cellulose derivatives soluble in water and in dilute alkali were prepared by dissolving a bleached sulfite pulp in solutions of nitrogen dioxide in dimethylformamide (DMF) and heating at 70–90°C for 1–3 hr. No cellulose oxidation was detected. Nitrite esters and apparently also, nitrate esters, were formed with degrees of substitution (DS) ranging from 0.18 to 0.55 and with nitrogen contents ranging from 1.47 to 4.32%. Solution viscosities in water increased with increasing nitrogen content. The degree of polymerization (DP) decreased rapidly in the initial stages of the reaction followed by a slow, gradual decrease with increasing reaction times.
