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.

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.     

Dramatic changes in geometry after ionization: experimental and theoretical studies on the electronic properties of fluorocarbonyl (mono-, di-, and tri-) sulfur compounds

In this work, we present a complete study on He I photoelectron spectroscopy (PES) for the fluorocarbonyl mono-, di-, and trisulfur compounds FC(O)SCl, FC(O)SSCH(3), and FC(O)SSSC(O)F. After optimizations of the structure for stable conformers at different levels of theory, a complete theoretical study involving the calculation of the ionization energies using orbital valence Green's functional (OVGF) was performed. Calculations of radical-cationic forms were carried out in order to compare their properties with those of the neutral molecules. The first IP values are 10.7, 9.0, and 10.5 eV for FC(O)SCl, FC(O)SSCH(3), and FC(O)SSSC(O)F, respectively. The groups bonded to the S atom mainly influence the ionizations originating from the sulfur lone pairs. A wide electronic delocalization in the FC(O)S moiety can be deduced from experimental and theoretical results, which leads to a strong energetic stabilization of the n' '(S) (sulfur lone pair pi orbital). Other conclusions relate to effects on the substituents attached to the S atom and the importance of the molecular planarity in the orbital stabilization of the FC(O)S moiety for the neutral molecules. It is worthwhile mentioning that FC(O)SCl retains its planar structure after ionization, but drastic changes occur in the geometry of both FC(O)SSCH(3) and FC(O)SSSC(O)F. The FC(O)SSCH(3) molecule adopts a heavy atom planar structure after ionization. The FC(O)SSS moiety becomes a planar form after the ionization of the FC(O)SSSC(O)F molecule, whereas the second C(O)F group maintains its original conformation with respect to the SSS group.     

Nonlinear schrödinger equations and intermolecular interactions

Nonlinear time-independent Schr6dinger equations arise if the model Hamiltonian depends on the wave function. This may occur if certain interactions are accounted for in an averaged manner, for example, if a moleule is embedded into a polarizable medium. Arguments are given in favor of the perturbational solution which facilitate the treatment of nonlinearity effects. Two examples are discussed: the case of a polarizable environment and the effective correction of the basis set superposition error.

High-performance liquid radiochromatography: Its application for stability study of [3H] stobadin

An HPLC method was developed for studying the stability of [³H] stobadin stored in physiological saline or buffers at various pH. Optimum conditions for the separation of degradation products were elaborated. A high-performance liquid chromatograph equipped with a radioactivity detector was used.     

Posets isomorphic to their extensions

A standard extension for a poset P is a system Q of lower ends (descending subsets) of P containing all principal ideals of P. An isomorphism between P and Q is called recycling if [Y]Q for all YQ. The existence of such an isomorphism has rather restrictive consequences for the system Q in question. For example, if Q contains all lower ends generated by chains then a recycling isomorphism between P and Q forces Q to be precisely the system of all principal ideals. For certain standard extensions Q, it turns out that every isomorphism between P and Q (if there is any) must be recycling. Our results include the well-known fact that a poset cannot be isomorphic to the system of all lower ends, as well as the fact that a poset is isomorphic to the system of all ideals (i.e., directed lower ends) only if every ideal is principal.
