Determination of dissociation energies of N-H bond in the 4-anilinodiphenylaminyl radical and O-H bond in the 2,5-dichloro-4-hydroxyphenoxyl radical from the equilibrium constants of chain reactions in quinoneimine-hydroquinone systems

The temperature dependences of the equilibrium constants of two chain reversible reactions in quinonediimine (quinonemonoimine)—2,5-dichlorohydroquinone systems in chlorobenzene were studied. The enthalpy of equilibrium of the reversible reaction of quinonediimine with 4-hydroxydiphenylamine was estimated from these data (ΔH = − 14.4±1.6 kJ mol⁻¹) and a more accurate value of the N-H bond dissociation energy in the 4-anilinodiphenylaminyl radical was determined (D _NH = 278.6±3.0 kJ mol⁻¹). A chain mechanism was proposed for the reaction between quinonediimine and 2,5-dichlorohydroquinone, and the chain length was estimated (ν = 300 units) at room temperature. Processing of published data on the rate constant of the reaction of styrylperoxy radicals with 2,5-dichlorohydroquinone in the framework of the intersecting parabolas method gave the O-H bond dissociation energy in 2,5-dichlorohydroquinone: D _OH = 362.4±0.9 kJ mol⁻¹. Taking into account these data, the O-H bond dissociation energy in the 2,5-dichlorosemiquinone radical was found: D _OH = 253.6±1.9 kJ mol⁻¹. Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Density functional calculations of the structures and bond energies of Cr(CO)6 and (η6-C6H6) Cr(CO)2(CX) (X=O,S) complexes

Summary Quantum chemical calculations based on density functional theory have been performed on Cr(CO)₆, (⁶-C₆H₆)Cr(CO)₃ and (⁶-C₆H₆)Cr(CO)₂(CS) at the local and nonlocal level of theory using different functionals. Good agreement is obtained with experiment for both optimized geometries and metal-ligand binding energies. In particular, a comparison of metal-arene bond energies calculated for the (⁶-C₆H₆)Cr(CO)₃ and (⁶-C₆H₆)Cr(CO)₂(CS) complexes correlates well with kinetic data demonstrating that substitution of one CO group by CS leads to an important labilizing effect of this bond, which may be primarily attributed to a larger -backbonding charge transfer to the CS ligand as compared with CO.     

Thermodynamic properties of alkali halides. V. Temperature and pressure dependence of excess free energies in water

A simple equation has been derived relating the temperature dependence of activity functions with excess enthalpies and excess heat capacities. Using experimentally determined parameters at 298.15°K, it is possible to predict osmotic coefficients and mean activity coefficients of alkali halides in water up to 1 m from 273°K to about 350°K. In general, the predicted functions agree with the measured values within the uncertainty of the activity data. An equation is also given for the pressure dependence of the excess free energies, but it was not possible to check the limitation of this equation due to lack of activity data at various pressures.To whom correspondence should be addressed.

Conductance of tetraalkylammonium salts in 2-butanone from −45 to 25°C

Interactions of three types of tetraalkylammonium cations (tetrapropyltetrabutyl-and tri-isoamylbutyl- ammonium) with perchlorate and tetraphenylborate anions were studied by the conductivity method in 2-butanone from –45°C to 25°C. Conductance data obtained for diluted solutions (5×10^–5 – 2×10^–3 mol-dm^–3) were used to calculate the limiting molar conductivities and associationconstants. The conductance equation of Fuoss-Hsia including the Chen term and the chemical model assumption were applied. Limiting ion conductivities were calculated assuming equal limiting conductivities of the i-Am₃BuN⁺ and BPh ₄ ^– ions at all temperatures. Gibbs energies and entropies of ion pair formation, calculated from the dependence of association constants on temperature, are presented including the contributions due to short-range forces.     

DC Electrical Conductivity of the Direct Electrochemically Synthesized Polythiophene Metal Complexes

Electrochemical anodic oxidation of a metal anode in an acetone solution of 2,5-diamino-3,4-dicyanothiophene gave the polythiophene metal complexes of Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd, and Sn. Chemical analyses, as well as FTIR and electronic spectral data, are presented to confirm the formulation of the isolated materials. DC electrical conductivity measurements of the polymer complexes were measured in the range 300–500 K in the annealed and 5% doped forms. The products gave electrical conductivity in the semi-conducting region that increased by heat.

Polypyrrole‐zirconium complex has been synthesized by reacting 2‐amino‐3,4‐dicyano‐5‐mercaptopyrrole with zirconium nitrate in absolute ethanol under reflux for 24 h. The product has been characterized by elemental analyses, FTIR spectroscopy, in addition to thermal analysis (TGA and DSC) and its solubility has been investigated. The DC electrical conductivity variation of polypyrrole‐zirconium complex has been studied in the temperature range 300–500 K after annealing for 24 h at 100°C and doping with I₂, FeCl₃ and CuCl₂ · H₂O for comparison. An attempt has been made to interpret the DC electrical conductivity behavior and thermal properties to chain length, dopant used, polymer structure and attached groups.
