Kinetics of gas-phase addition reactions of methyl radicals. I. Addition to ethylene,acetylene, and benzene

The reactions have been studied by a mass-balance method involving the photolysis of small amounts of biacetyl in the presence of a large excess of isobutane containing a small proportion of the unsaturated substrate. The following Arrhenius parameters have been derived:

The decomposition of methanol at low pressures by rhenium

A heated rhenium wire is an effective catalyst for the decomposition of methanol at low pressures, the mass-spectrometrically recorded products of decomposition being carbon monoxide and hydrogen. When newly cleaned, more than 30% of c led to decomposition, for filament temperatures between 900 and 1300 K. Under steady-state conditions, or when the filament was pre-saturated with oxygen, the temperature dependence of catalytic activity was significantly differe though the maximum efficiency was still as much as 20% at 900 K.     

The physical properties of linear chain systems. I. The optical spectra of [(CH3)4N]NiCl3, Cs(Mg,Ni)Cl3, CsNiCl3, RbNiCl3 and CsNiBr3

The single crystal spectra of pure CsNiCl₃, CsNiBr₃, RbNiCl₃, and [(CH₃)₄]NiCl₃, and the single crystal spectrum of CsNiCl₃ diluted in CsMgCl₃ have been measured to 5°K. The spectra of the magnetically concentrated materials show a number of anomalously intense maxima. These are interpreted in terms of cooperative interactions.     

Public Expenditure Forecasting and Control — The Practical Use of Distributed Lag Models

There are several reasons why expenditure managers need to forecast the financial progress of programmes accurately. The paper discusses the use of distributed lag models to assist in this and the practical decisions required in the process of selecting, setting up and calibrating the models.     

Cathodoluminescence in deformed MgO crystals

The corrected cathodoluminescence (CL) emission spectrum for undeformed MgO in the wavelength range 300–650nm consists of two overlapping bands with peaks at 425 nm (2.92 eV) and 488 nm (2.54 eV). After deformation one broad band at 466 nm (2.66 eV) of much higher intensity is observed. In the near IR part of the spectrum a further broad band occurs, consisting of a number of unresolved peaks the strongest of which is at 726 nm (1.71 eV). This band is unaffected by deformation and is thought to be due to iron impurities. Panchromatic and monochromatic SEM micrographs show that the enhanced 466 nm band luminescence comes from the slipped planes of the crystal. Shape analysis of the 466 nm emission band showed that it is a Gaussian form around the intensity maximum with an exponential high energy tail.     

Helium migration in palladium I. Concentration dependence of helium release

Abstract

High temperature gas release from helium-implanted palladium has been investigated for He/Pd atom fractions from 5 × 10^?6 to 5 × 10^?2. The temperature required for 25 per cent He release increases with increasing dose to an atom fraction of 10^?4, where a sudden reversal occurs for higher concentrations. The release is associated with dramatic changes in the surface features of the palladium. A qualitative physical model is presented to explain the data.
