An effect of molecular vibrational modes within the dimers [O3AO–(H/D)OAO3]3− on behavior of H-bond protons or deuterons is studied theoretically for H-bonded antiferroelectrics and quantum paraelectrics of the M3(H/D)(AO4)2 family (M=alkali metal, A=S, Se). The ‘heavy’ reorganization modes in D-species of this family and both reorganization and promoting modes in corresponding H-analogues are examined. It is shown that the analysis with due regard for the reorganization modes results in insignificant decreasing of the effective tunneling frequency of light nuclei. Hence the reasonable estimations of the critical temperature of the low-temperature phase transition in M3D(AO4)2 materials are available only with additional corrections related to potential profiles of a deuteron. It is noted that in the limits of the proposed model the promoting mode in the case of H-species can favor, in principle, the increasing as well as the decreasing of effective proton level splitting. 相似文献
The crystals of 5,5′-dibromo-3-diethylaminomethyl-2,2′-biphenol N-oxide were studied by X-ray and FT-IR spectroscopy. Within this molecule two short OHO intramolecular hydrogen bonds are formed. The NO?H+?O− bond between the OH and the N-oxide groups is very strong, of 2.419(7) Å between the oxygen atoms. The proton potential of this hydrogen bond is flat, broad and has probably no barrier—consequently it could not be located from X-ray diffraction data. The other hydrogen bond formed between two hydroxyl groups appears asymmetrical from FT-IR spectra, and shows also relatively limited proton polarizability. The molecular conformation is non-planar, due to strong overcrowding effect between the oxygen atoms involved in the hydrogen bonds. 相似文献
The morphological changes with different compositions of casting solvents in the membranes of sulfonated polystyrene-block-poly(ethylene-ran-butylene)-block-polystyrene (SEBS) were investigated with small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and transmission electron microscope (TEM). Using the single solvent of tetrahydrofuran (THF) and the solvent mixtures of methanol/THF with different compositions, the casting polymer solutions were prepared for the membrane fabrication. The proton conductivity and the methanol permeability of membranes were measured, and the effect of morphological changes on the casting solvents was discussed through Flory–Huggins theory. It was found that the sulfonated SEBS membranes were transformed from well ordered lamellar to disordered co-continuous structure and the morphological difference caused abrupt enhancement in the proton conductivity and the methanol permeability as the concentration of methanol in the mixed solvents (MeOH/THF) increased. 相似文献
The molar conductance of dilute solutions of HCl in wet (68.5% methanol + 31.5% tetrahydrofurane mixtures at 25°C have been measured. The data were analyzed using the Fuoss-Hsia equation to calculate the infinite dilution molar conductances and association constants. The trend of the limiting conductances in these mixtures as a function of the water content shows, once more, the peculiar minimum due to the anomalous proton conductance mechanism. From these data the limiting molar conductance in the anhydrous binary solvent system was evaluated. The percentage excess proton mobility with respect to potassium ion has also been determined. All these data are compared to those found in a binary isodielectric methanol mixture containing as cosolvent 1,4-dioxane. This comparison shows that proton mobilities are very similar in both solvent mixtures. The dielectric constants, refractive indices, viscosities and densities of the methanol-tetrahydrofuran mixtures in the whole mole fraction range have been measured and are reported. An analysis of the excess molar volumes and viscosities shows a slight deviation of this system from ideality. 相似文献
The results of experimental studies and quantum mechanical calculations of vibrational spectra and structure of hydrogen bonded complexes formed by pyrazole (P) and 3,5-dimethylpyrazole (DMP) are presented. IR spectra of pyrazoles in solutions, gas phase, and solid state have been investigated in wide range of concentrations and temperatures. It has been found that in the gas phase both P and DMP reveal the equilibrium between monomers, dimers, and trimers. In solutions the equilibrium between monomers and trimers dominates, no bands, which can be attributed to dimers were detected. DMP retains the trimer structure in solid state, while in the case of pyrazole P, formation of the crystal provides another type of association. Geometrical and spectral characteristics of dimers and trimers, obtained by ab initio calculations, are presented and compared with experimental data.
IR spectra of solutions containing P and DMP with a number of acids (acetic and trifluoroacetic acids, pentachlorophenol, HBr) have been studied in parallel with ab initio calculations. It has been found that pentachlorophenol forms with pyrazoles complexes with one strong hydrogen bond O–HN, while NH pyrazole group remains unbonded. With carboxylic acids DMP forms 1:1 cyclic complexes with two hydrogen bonds. In the case of acetic acid, the complex in CH2Cl2 solution reveals molecular structure with OHN and C=OHN bonds, in accordance with results of the calculations. For trifluoroacetic acid, the calculations predict the molecular structure to be energetically more stable in the case of the isolated binary complex (in gas phase), while the experimental spectrum of CH2Cl2 solution gives an evidence of the proton transfer with formation of the cyclic ionic pair with two NH+O− bonds. The agreement with experimental results can be improved by taking into account the influence of environment in the framework of Onsager or Tomasi models. The shape of proton potential function of the complexes and medium effect on its parameters, resulted from experimental data and calculations, are discussed. It has been found that the number of potential minima and their relative depth depend strongly on the method of calculations and the basic set. Under excess of trifluoroacetic acid, the formation of 2:1 acid–DMP complex has been detected. Spectral characteristics and results of calculations point to the cyclic structure of this complex, which includes homoconjugated bis-trifluoroacetate anion and DMPH+ cation. With HBr both studied pyrazoles were found to form ionic complexes including one or two pyrazole molecules per one acid molecule and correspondingly monocation or homoconjugated cation BHB+. 相似文献
A new class of proton conducting glass membranes for hydrogen fuel cell applications are being developed using phosphotungstic acid. These glasses are being design to yield high proton conductivities could be potential substitutes for electrolytes in H2/O2 fuel cell. P2O5–SiO2–PWA glasses have been non-crystalline phases confirmed by structural studies. The glass materials showed good mechanical and thermal stability, and also found a maximum proton conductivity of 9.1 × 10−2 S/cm at 90 °C and 30% RH. The average pore size less than 5 nm was determined by Barrett–Joyner–Halenda (BJH) desorption method. The electrochemical activity was investigated by polarization curves and current–voltage profiles. A maximum power density value of 10.2 mW/cm2 was obtained using 0.15 mg/cm2 of Pt/C loaded on electrode and 5P2O5–87SiO2–8PWA glasses at 30 °C and 30% humidity. 相似文献
After a brief introduction to neutron scattering techniques, illustrated with the scattering function for harmonic oscillators, some new aspects of proton dynamics in the KHCO3 crystal are presented. The full scattering function for the proton modes measured on single crystals provides a graphic view of proton dynamics. Vibrational states are fully characterized with three quantum numbers. The effective oscillator mass of 1 amu confirms the decoupling of protons from the lattice. Combining infrared, Raman and inelastic neutron scattering techniques, the double minimum potential for the transfer of a single proton along hydrogen bonds is totally determined. Elastic neutron scattering techniques probe dynamics in the fully degenerate ground state. Quantum entanglement arising from normal coordinates gives rise to quantum interference. With diffraction techniques, the dynamical structure arising from large-scale quantum coherence is observed as ridges of intensity, well separated from Bragg's peaks. The vibrational wave function in the ground state must be regarded as a superposition of non-factorable macroscopic wave function. 相似文献
The mixed crystals of 1,2-bis(diethylaminomethyl)-3,6-di- and 3,4,6-trichloro-benzene perchlorate at 0.5:0.5 ratio have been studied using X-ray diffraction and FT-IR spectroscopy. The molecules of di- and tri-chloro derivatives are distributed randomly in the crystal lattice; however, this disorder manifested mainly by a partial occupation of the chlorine atom at C(4) and by relatively big atomic temperature parameters even at 99 K, particularly for the oxygens of the perchlorate anion. The proton in the [NHN]+ bond refined close to the equidistant position between the nitrogens. The conformations of the diethylaminomethyl substituents are pseudo-symmetrical relative to the plane and twofold axis passing through the midpoint of the hydrogen bond. The IR spectrum of the crystals shows a broad intense band and an intense continuous absorption indicating relatively high proton polarizability in the intramolecular hydrogen bond. In acetonitrile and in chloroform, the proton in the intramolecular hydrogen bond also shows a very high proton polarizability demonstrated by the continuous absorption in the IR spectrum. 相似文献

An accurate structure refinement of the deuterated analog of the cesium lithium acid sulfate, formerly identified as ‘Cs1.5Li1.5H(SO4)2’, has been carried out using neutron diffraction methods. Like the protonated material reported earlier (Merinov et al., Solid State Ionics 69 (1994) 53), the compound is cubic, , however, the correct stoichiometry is Cs3Li(DSO4)4. There are four formula units per unit cell and six atoms in the asymmetric unit. The lattice constant measured in this work is a=11.743(2) Å, comparable to the earlier results. The structure contains one disordered hydrogen bond, formed between O(2) atoms and located on two of the edges of the single LiO4 tetrahedron. The Li site occupancy is , as is that of the deuterium site. This level of site occupancies is consistent with a structure in which hydrogen bonds are formed only when the lithium site is unoccupied, and explains the otherwise close proximity of the Li and D atoms, 1.394(10) Å. This unusual structural feature furthermore leads to a fixed stoichiometry, as confirmed here by chemical analysis of both the deuterated and protonated materials, despite the partial occupancy of the lithium and deuterium (hydrogen) atom sites. 相似文献
