Phosphine and Thiophene Cyclopalladated Complexes: Hydrolysis Reactions in Strong Acidic Media

The mechanisms for the hydrolysis of organopalladium complexes [Pd(CNN)R]BF₄ (R=P(OPh)₃, PPh₃, and SC₄H₈) were investigated at 25 °C by using UV/Vis absorbance measurements in 10 % v/v ethanol/water mixtures containing different sulphuric acid concentrations in the 1.3–11.7 M range. In all cases, a biphasic behavior was observed with rate constants k_1obs, which corresponds to the initial step of the hydrolysis reaction, and k_2obs, where k_1obs>k_2obs. The plots of k_1obs and k_2obs versus sulfuric acid concentration suggest a change in the reaction mechanism. The change with respect to the k_1obs value corresponds to 35 %, 2 %, and 99 % of the protonated complexes for R=PPh₃, P(OPh)₃, and SC₄H₈, respectively. Regarding k_2obs, the change occurred in all cases at about 6.5 M H₂SO₄ and matched up with the results reported for the hydrolysis of the 2‐acetylpyridinephenylhydrazone (CNN) ligand. By using the excess acidity method, the mechanisms were elucidated by carefully looking at the variation of k_i,_obs (i=1,2) versus ${c_{{\rm{H}}^ + } }$ . The rate‐determining constants, k_0,A‐1, k_0,A‐2, and k_0,A‐SE2 were evaluated in all cases. The R=P(OPh)₃ complex was most reactive due to its π‐acid character, which favors the rupture of the trans nitrogen–palladium bond in the A‐2 mechanism and also that of the pyridine nitrogen–palladium bond in the A‐1 mechanism. The organometallic bond exerts no effect on the relative basicity of the complexes, which are strongly reliant on the substituent.     

稀土气态配合物REAl_3Br_(12)稳定性规律

采用骤冷法对反应REBr3(s)+(3/2)Al2Br6(g)=REAl3Br12(g)进行研究,实验温度和压力范围分别是600~850 K和0.0077~0.22 MPa,反应平衡时间为6 h。测定它们在不同温度下的稳定常数。结果显示,中稀土的气态配合物稳定常数最大。以气态配合物REAl3Br12的lgKp与Z+/r作图,可将镧系稀土元素分为La-Eu,Eu-Er和Er-Lu三组,在每一组内,REAl3Br12的稳定常数均呈线性关系。在稀土气态配合物RE-Al3Br12稳定常数与原子序数及离子势(Z+/r)的变化关系中都存在着钆断现象。REAl3Br12稳定常数的对数值对RE(Ⅲ)的基态角量子数作图,得到四条直线,类似斜W效应。     

Influence of catalyst binder on the acidity and activity/selectivity of Ga/H-ZSM-5 zeolite in propane aromatization

The acidity and initial and time-on-stream activity in propane aromatization (at 550°C, space velocity of 3100 cm³g⁻¹ _(zeolite)h⁻¹) of Ga-impregnated H-ZSM-5 zeolite without or with binders (50 wt%), such as silica, alumina and kaolin, have been investigated. Both the acidity and catalytic activity of the zeolite are influenced by the presence of binder in the catalyst, depending upon the binder. The influence is found to be lowest for alumina and highest for kaolin. Among the binders, alumina is the most preferred binder for the zeolite catalyst.     

Acidity and Catalytic Activity of Sulfate Modified Mixed Oxides of Tin and Praseodymium

A comparitive study of the acid-base properties and physico-chemical characteristics of pure SnO₂, sulfated SnO₂ and sulfated binary oxides of Sn and Pr was done. The data were correlated with the catalytic activity of the oxides towards benzoylation of toluene.     

Synthesis and physicochemical properties of 9,10-phenanthrenequinone monoxime and its nitro derivatives

Phenanthrenequinone monoxime and its mono-, di-, and trinitro derivatives were synthesized. The acidity constants and their variation with the number and position of nitro groups were determined. The electronic and IR spectra of the nitro compounds were studied. The bands in the electronic spectra were assigned based on quantum-chemical calculations in the Pariser—Parr—Pople approximation. Correlations between the pK _a values and some calculated characteristics of the compounds under study were found. Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.
