Crossover Peng-Robinson equation of state with introduction of a new expression for the crossover function

In this research, we use the original Peng-Robinson (PR) equation of state (EOS) for pure fluids and develop a crossover cubic equation of state which incorporates the scaling laws asymptotically close to the critical point and it is transformed into the original cubic equation of state far away from the critical point. The modified EOS is transformed to ideal gas EOS in the limit of zero density. A new formulation for the crossover function is introduced in this work. The new crossover function ensures more accurate change from the singular behavior of fluids inside the regular classical behavior outside the critical region. The crossover PR (CPR) EOS is applied to describe thermodynamic properties of pure fluids (normal alkanes from methane to n-hexane, carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide and R125). It is shown that over wide ranges of state, the CPR EOS yields the thermodynamic properties of fluids with much more accuracy than the original PR EOS. The CPR EOS is then used for mixtures by introducing mixing rules for the pure component parameters. Higher accuracy is observed in comparison with the classical PR EOS in the mixture critical region.     

High pressure vapor–liquid equilibria for carbon dioxide + tetrahydrofuran mixtures

Vapor–liquid equilibria and saturated density for carbon dioxide + tetrahydrofuran mixtures at high pressures were measured by the analytical method at the temperatures 298.15 and 313.15 K. The experimental apparatus equipped with three Anton Paar DMA 512S vibrating tube density meters was previously developed for measuring vapor–liquid–liquid equilibrium at high pressures. The equilibrium composition and saturated density of each phase were determined by gas chromatograph and vibrating tube density meters, respectively. The bubble point pressure at the temperature 313.15 K was further measured by the synthetic method. The experimental data were correlated with Soave–Redlich–Kwong (SRK) equation of state and the pseudocubic equation of state.     

Excess Gibbs energies and volumes of the ternary system chloroform + tetrahydrofuran + cyclohexane at 298.15 K

Vapour–liquid equilibria and densities for the ternary system chloroform + tetrahydrofuran + cyclohexane and for the binary mixtures containing chloroform have been determined at 298.15 K. Vapour–liquid equilibrium data have been collected by head-space gas-chromatographic analysis of the vapour phase directly withdrawn from an equilibration apparatus. Density measurements have been carried out by means of a vibrating tube densimeter. Molar excess Gibbs energies G^E and volumes V^E, as well as activity coefficients and apparent molar volumes of the components, have been obtained from the measured quantities and discussed. The binary chloroform + tetrahydrofuran displays negative deviations from ideality, while chloroform + cyclohexane positive deviations, for both volume and Gibbs energy. The G^E's and V^E's for the ternary system are positive in the region rich in cyclohexane while negative in the region rich in chloroform + tetrahydrofuran. This indicates that hydrogen bonding between chloroform and tetrahydrofuran molecules produces negative values of G^E and V^E and strongly influences the behaviour of the ternary system.     

Liquid–liquid equilibrium and interfacial tension of the ternary system heptane + thiophene + 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide

The liquid–liquid equilibrium (LLE) of the ternary system comprising heptane, thiophene and the ionic liquid 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide ([C₂mim][NTf₂]) was determined at 25 °C and atmospheric pressure, for preliminary evaluation of the potential of this ionic liquid as solvent for the desulfurisation of transportation fuels. Classical parameters such as solute distribution ratio and selectivity were calculated from the LLE data and subsequently analysed. The LLE data were also correlated by means of the ‘Non-Random Two-Liquid’ (NRTL) equation. Besides the LLE, another critical property for the design of extraction processes, namely the interfacial tension, was determined in parallel, throughout the immiscibility domain of the ternary system. For the first time, the LLE and the interfacial tension of a ternary system involving an ionic liquid are jointly reported.     

Thermodynamic behavior of adsorption systems with porous adsorbents along the curves describing equilibrium between bulk phases of an adsorptive

The thermodynamic aspects of adsorption equilibrium in systems with crystalline, liquid, and dense gas phases have been considered. The heats of phase transition and corresponding directions of mass transfer from the adsorbed phase into crystalline and liquid phases at different temperatures have been determined. The general equilibrium diagram in the coordinates Inp-T ^–1 has been given with indication of the equilibrium lines of three-phase systems and characteristic points on the isosteres of adsorption,viz., the Gurvitsch and quasicritical points.Deceased.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Regio-selective cyanation of (Z)-(1,2-dibromo-2-arylvinyl)triisopropylsilane with suppression of halogen elimination

Highly regio-selective cyanation of vicinal (Z)-dibromoalkenyl silanes was achieved by a vinylic Rosenmund-von Braun reaction, significantly suppressing side-production of alkyne. The alkyne was generated by a halogen elimination side-reaction that is an intrinsic problem in metal-activation of vicinal dihaloalkenes. We have studied to overcome the problem, and finally found the combination of CuCN and O = PPh₃ in toluene solvent effectively controlled the production of byproducts. The resultant single isomer has significance in potentially application as a multi-tunable synthetic scaffold.     

An investigation of structure-reactivity relationships of δ-alkenyl oximes; competitive thermal reactions leading to cyclic nitrones and/or N-unsubstituted bicyclic isoxazolidines

Thermal reactions of C-aryl δ-alkenyl oximes give N-unsubstituted bicylic lactone, lactam and pyrrolidine fused isoxazolidines by an intramolecular oxime olefin cycloaddition pathway (IOOC) and/or cyclic nitrones by an azaprotio cyclotransfer (APT) route; a number of factors, including the nature of the aryl group, the oxime geometry and the structure of the linker between the oxime and the terminal alkene, contribute to the competition.     

A two‐dimensional layered CdII coordination polymer with a three‐dimensional supramolecular architecture incorporating mixed multidentate N‐ and O‐donor ligands

The combination of N‐heterocyclic and multicarboxylate ligands is a good choice for the construction of metal–organic frameworks. In the title coordination polymer, poly[bis{μ₂‐1‐[(1H‐benzimidazol‐2‐yl)methyl]‐1H‐tetrazole‐κ²N³:N⁴}(μ₄‐butanedioato‐κ⁴O¹:O^1′:O⁴:O^4′)(μ₂‐butanedioato‐κ²O¹:O⁴)dicadmium], [Cd(C₄H₄O₄)(C₉H₈N₆)]_n, each Cd^II ion exhibits an irregular octahedral CdO₄N₂ coordination geometry and is coordinated by four O atoms from three carboxylate groups of three succinate (butanedioate) ligands and two N atoms from two 1‐[(1H‐benzimidazol‐2‐yl)methyl]‐1H‐tetrazole (bimt) ligands. Cd^II ions are connected by two kinds of crystallographically independent succinate ligands to generate a two‐dimensional layered structure with bimt ligands located on each side of the layer. Adjacent layers are further connected by hydrogen bonding, leading to a three‐dimensional supramolecular architecture in the solid state. Thermogravimetric analysis of the title polymer shows that it is stable up to 529 K and then loses weight from 529 to 918 K, corresponding to the decomposition of the bimt ligands and succinate groups. The polymer exhibits a strong fluorescence emission in the solid state at room temperature.
