Linear free energy relationship of the energy of the CTTS transition of Halide ions with the solvatochromic parameter α

A linear free energy relationship was found betweenv _max, the energy of the absorption maximum of chloride, bromide, or iodide ion in various solvents, and the solvatochromic parameter which is a measure of the hydrogen bond donor ability of the solvent. The relationships are: for chloride,v _max=6.99+50.16 kK; for bromide,v _max=5.52+45.20 kK; for iodide,v _max=5.02+40.33 kK. The correlation ofv _max for iodide ion with gave a larger correlation coefficient and smaller standard deviation than a correlation with the E _T (30) parameter of Dimroth. From the values ofv _max for iodide ion and the solvated electron in liquid ammonia at 25°C, these correlations indicate a preliminary value of 0.00 for the parameter of liquid ammonia. This had not been reported before and is lower than expected from a general knowledge of the physical and chemical properties of liquid ammonia but is consistent with a more detailed consideration and recent gas phase measurements of hydrogen bond donor strength.     

Spectroscopic Study of the Complexation of DDQ with 1,10-Diaza-18-crown-6 in Chloroform Solution

The formation of charge transfer complexes with 1:1 and 2:1 stoichiometries (acceptor-to-donor) between DDQ and 1,10-diaza-18-crown-6 in chloroform solution was investigated spectrophotometrically. The stepwise formation constants of the resulting complexes were evaluated from the non-linear least-squaresfitting of the absorbance-mole ratio data. The enthalpies and entropiesof the complexation reactions were determined from the temperature dependence of the stepwise formation constants. The resulting 1:1 and 2:1 complexes were isolated in crystalline form and characterized. The results are consistent with the ionic structure of the resulting charge transfer complexes.     

Swelling behavior of amphiphilic hydrogels of copolymers of the vinyl ether of ethylene glycol and vinyl isobutyl ether,and their interaction with cationic surfactant

Amphiphilic hydrogels of copolymers of the vinyl ether of ethylene glycol and vinyl isobutyl ether were synthesized by -radiation-induced free radical polymerization. Hydrogels with certain copolymer compositions showed thermo-sensitive behavior in aqueous solutions. The swelling behavior of the hydrogels in cetylpyridinium bromide aqueous solution was studied. Increased swelling of the hydrogels was observed in the surfactant solutions. The increased swelling was more prominent for the hydrogels with a higher content of hydrophobic moiety in the copolymer composition, and with higher surfactant concentration. The reason for this phenomenon is discussed. Treatment of some hydrogels in the surfactant solutions resulted in higher swelling ability in distilled water with distinct thermo-induced contraction over a narrow temperature interval.     

Solvatochromism and prototropism of diaminodiphenyl sulphones and 2-aminodiphenyl sulphone: a comparative study by electronic spectra

A comparative study of absorption and fluorescence maxima of 4,4′-diaminodiphenyl sulphone (4DADPS), 3,3′-diaminodiphenyl sulphone (3DADPS) and 2-aminodiphenyl sulphone (2ADPS) in different solvents reveals that (i) solvatochromic shifts are found to be mainly due to interaction of solvents with amino group, (ii) in any one solvent the net solvatochromic shifts of two amino groups are less than that of one amino group, (iii) fluorescence shift from cyclohexane to water is a maximum for 4DADPS and a minimum for 2ADPS and (iv) 4DADPS and 3DADPS possess more twisted intramolecular charge transfer character than 2ADPS. The excited-state acidity constants, determined by fluorimetric titration and Förster cycle methods, have been reported and discussed.     

Thermodynamic evaluation of a partial charge model assumptionfor the dissolved silica system

The Partial Charge Model was developed to predict the hydroxylation, polymerization, and precipitation of ions. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the Partial Charge Model for describing the polymerization of silica in aqueous solutions. The Partial Charge Model predicts the stability of ions and complexes based on the assumption that the stable species will have the same electronegativity as the mean electronegativity of the solution. The silica system was chosen for model validation because of the rare availability of self-consistent thermodynamic data on many dissolved but polymerized silicate anions, including both linear and cyclical species. The electronegativity of each species was calculated using the Partial Charge Model and the results were plotted against the stability constants for the ions. The silicate anions segregated into groups on the plot based on the number of charges per silicon atom in the polymer. Plots of the log of the stability constant versus the change in electronegativity produced a linear relationship for the silica polymers containing one negative charge per silicon atom, which resulted in an r ² of 0.9978. Thus, the Partial Charge Model successfully describes the thermodynamics of silica polymerization in aqueous solution for species that are sufficiently alike, but was not accurate for all silica species.     

SDS/n－C5H11OH/n－C7H16/H2O体系中W/O－BI微乳液界面电性质

In the system of SDS/n-C5H11OH/n-C7H16/H2O with the weight ratio of SDS/n-C5H11OH/H2O system at5.0/47.5/47.5, the upper phase of the system was W/O microemulsion, and the lower phase was the bicontinuous microemulsion. When the n-heptane content was less than 1%, with the increase of the n-heptane content, the capacitance (Co, Cod) in the upper phase (W/O) dropped, the capacitance (CB1, CBld) in the lower phase (BI) raised. At the same time, the W/O-BI inteffacial potential (ΔE), capacitance (Ci), and charge-transfer current (ict) decreased.After the n-heptane content reached 1%, with the increase of the n-heptane content, ΔE, Ci and ict demonstrated no significant change.

A Combined Experimental and Theoretical Electron Density Study of Intra‐ and Intermolecular Interactions in Thiourea S,S‐Dioxide

The thiourea S,S‐dioxide molecule is recognized as a zwitterion with a high dipole moment and an unusually long C? S bond. The molecule has a most interesting set of intermolecular interactions in the crystalline state—a relatively strong O???H? N hydrogen bond and very weak intermolecular C???S and N???O interactions. The molecule has C_s symmetry, and each oxygen atom is hydrogen‐bonded to two hydrogen atoms with O???H? N distances of 2.837 and 2.826 Å and angles of 176.61 and 158.38°. The electron density distribution is obtained both from Xray diffraction data at 110 K and from a periodic density functional theory (DFT) calculation. Bond characterization is made in terms of the analysis of topological properties. The covalent characters of the C? N, N? H, C? S, and S? O bonds are apparent, and the agreement on the topological properties between experiment and theory is adequate. The features of the Laplacian distributions, bond paths, and atomic domains are comparable. In a systematic approach, DFT calculations are performed based on a monomer, a dimer, a heptamer, and a crystal to see the effect on the electron density distribution due to the intermolecular interactions. The dipole moment of the molecule is enhanced in the solid state. The typical values of ρ_b and H_b of the hydrogen bonds and weak intermolecular C???S and N???O interactions are given. All the interactions are verified by the location of the bond critical point and its associated topological properties. The isovalue surface of Laplacian charge density and the detailed atomic graph around each atomic site reveal the shape of the valence‐shell charge concentration and provide a reasonable interpretation of the bonding of each atom.     

Reduction of soluble colloidal MnO<Subscript>2</Subscript> by <Emphasis Type="SmallCaps">DL</Emphasis>-malic acid in the absence and presence of nonionic TritonX-100

Kinetics of oxidation of DL-malic acid by water soluble colloidal MnO₂ (prepared from potassium permanganate and sodium thiosulfate solutions) have been studied spectrophotometrically in the absence and presence of nonionic Triton X-100 surfactant. The reaction is autocatalytic and manganese(II) (reduction product of the colloidal MnO₂) may be the autocatalyst. The order of the reaction is first in colloidal [MnO₂] as well as in [malic acid] both in the absence and presence of the surfactant. The reaction has acid-dependent and acid-independent paths and, in the former case, the order is fractional in [H⁺]. The effect of externally added manganese(II) is complex. The results show that the rate constant increases as the manganese(II) concentration is increased. It is not possible to predict the exact dependence of the rate constants on manganese(II) concentration, which has a series of reactions with other reactants. In the presence of TX-100, the observed effect on k is catalytic up to a certain [TX-100]; thereafter, an inhibitory effect follows. The catalytic effect is explained in terms of the mathematical model proposed by Tuncay et al. (in Colloids Surf A Physicochem Eng Aspects 149:279 3). Activation parameters associated with the observed rate constants (k_obs/k) have also been evaluated and discussed.     

Intrinsic Surface Reaction Constant in 1-pK Model of Mg-Fe Hydrotalcite-like Compounds

The relationship among intrinsic surface reaction constant (K) in 1-pK model, point of zero net charge (PZNC) and structural charge density (σst) for amphoteric solid with structural charges was established in order to investigate the effect of σst on pK. The theoretical analysis based on 1-pK model indicates that the independent PZNC of electrolyte concentration (c) exists for amphoteric solid with structural charges. A common intersection point (CIP) should appear on the acid-base titration curves at different c, and the pH at the CIP is pHPZNC. The pK can be expressed as pK=-pHPZNC log[(1 2αPZNC)/(1-2αPZNC)], where αPZNC≡σst/eNANs, in which e is the elementary charge, NA the Avogadro‘s constant and Ns the total density of surface sites. For solids without structural charges, pK=-pHPZNC. The pK values of hydrotalcite-like compounds (HTlc) with general formula of [Mg1-xFex(OH)2](Cl,OH)x were evaluated. With increasing x, the pK increases, which can be explained based on the affinity of metal cations for H^- or OH^- and the electrostatic interaction between charging surface and H^- or OH^-.
