The intercalation of cetyltrimethylammonium cations into muscovite by a two-step process: II. The intercalation of cetyltrimethylammonium cations into Li-muscovite

The alkylammonium cations were successively intercalated into the interlayer of muscovite. It was achieved by inorganic-organic ion exchange in the hydrothermal reaction of the LiNO₃-treated muscovite with cetyltrimethylammonium bromide solution. One-dimensional Patterson plots and electron density calculations show that hydrated Li⁺ and CTA⁺ cations entered the interlayer of muscovite successively. The CTA⁺-intercalated muscovite was characterized by powder X-ray diffraction and elemental analysis, in conjunction with FTIR, nuclear magnetic resonance, X-ray photoelectron spectra, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, etc. The experiments show that organo-muscovite composite with ordered structure has been obtained. The CTA⁺ headgroups are distributed in the interlayer uniformly. However, the arrangement and conformation of CTA⁺ chains are strongly dependent upon the reaction temperature. At lower reaction temperature, the chains of CTA⁺ ions adopt a little more disordered arrangement and have higher gauche/trans conformer ratio, resulting in the disturbance to the interlayer symmetry. Whereas at higher reaction temperature, the sample with paraffin-like arrangement of CTA⁺ chains could be obtained, in which the methylene chains of CTA⁺ adopt a fully stretched, all-trans conformation.

Use of the Second Derivative of TG Curves for Investigation of the Exchanged Interlayer Cation in Montmorillonite

Various cation-exchanged montmorillonites (Li+, Na+, Ba2+, Mg2+, Ca2+, Mn2+, Co2+, Cu2+, Ag+, Cd2+, Hg2+, Al3+, Pb2+ and NH4+) were prepared from calcium montmorillonite and their properties were studied by means of X-ray diffraction and thermal analysis. The two methods give information on the cation exchange in the interlayer space only. X-ray diffraction studies at room temperature are mainly suitable for estimation of the exchange of cations of different valencies. At 500°C, when the structure is completely collapsed, the d value of montmorillonite depends on the non-hydrated ionic radius of the interlayer cation, but the measurement interval is limited for fine interpretation. The thermoanalytical method is suitable for a better distinction of different exchangeable cations of higher hydration energy on the basis of the DTG or DDTG curve.

Competing reaction pathways from α-halo-α-protioalkyl aryl sulfoxides initiated by organometallic reagents

The reactions of syn-1-haloethyl p-chlorophenyl sulfoxides (halogen = Cl, Br) with main-group organometallic reagents (n-BuMgCl, MeLi, n-BuLi, s-BuLi, and t-BuLi) in THF and PhMe solvents were examined. Product distributions were analyzed to determine the extent of competing sulfoxide ligand exchange, halogen-metal exchange, and deprotonation reaction pathways. A combination of t-BuLi in PhMe was optimal for initiation of sulfoxide ligand exchange from syn-1-chloroethyl p-chlorophenyl sulfoxide.

A density functional study on magnetic exchange interaction between Mn(II) ion and nitronyl nitroxide radical in <Emphasis Type="Italic">trans</Emphasis>-and <Emphasis Type="Italic">cis</Emphasis>-metal-radical complexes

The magneto-structural correlation between a Mn(ll) ion, coordinated in an octahedral environment, and two nitronyl nitroxide radical ligands in trans- and cis-metal-radical complexes is investigated by the broken symmetry (BS) approach within density functional theory (DFT). The dependences of coupling constants J on three structural parameters: (i) bond angle θ (Mn-O-N (nitroxide)); (ii) rotating angle ψ, defined by the nitronyl nitroxide radical plane rotating around the axial Mn-O (nitroxide); (iii) bond distance R (Mn-O (nitroxide)) are directly calculated. Our calculations showed that both trans- and cis-Mn(ll)-radical complexes behave a stronger antiferromagnetic interaction, consistent with experiments. In view of molecular orbital theory, the direct exchanges, including σ-type and π-type exchanges, are responsible for the magnetic exchange pathways. There is a preferable linear correlation between the calculated coupling constants J and the overlap integral squares S b between the local magnetic orbitals at the various rotating angle ψ at the fixed bond angle θ and bond distance R, in both trans- and cis-Mn(ll)-radical complexes.

Adsorption of the fluoride ion on the surface of various faces of a single crystal of silver: a quantum-chemical study

The fluoride ion adsorption from a gas phase on various faces of a single crystal of silver is studied by a density functional method within a cluster model for metal. The adsorption bond energy is found to increase in the series Ag(100) < Ag(111) < Ag(311) < Ag(110). A substantial structural and energetic heterogeneity of various adsorption sites is revealed. The results are utilized to simulate the electrochemical interface between individual faces of a single crystal of silver and aqueous solutions containing the fluoride ion. It is assumed that the adsorption potential may be represented as the sum of two contributions, one of which describes the metal–ion interaction and the other, the ion solvation energy. The plotted adsorption terms take into account partial degradation of the fluoride ion when adsorbed from an aqueous solution. Estimates of discreteness of the electrical double layer are presented. A conclusion on the maximum manifestation of specific adsorption of the fluoride ion for the Ag(100) face is made.Translated from Elektrokhimiya, Vol. 41, No. 2, 2005, pp. 232–238.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Nazmutdinov, Zinkicheva.This revised version was published online in April 2005 with corrections to the article note and article title and cover date.
