About compensation effect by thermal decomposition of some catalyst precursors

Summary In order to obtain catalysts, the thermal decomposition of the precursors is a compulsory step. However, kinetic analysis of the decomposition data obtained under non-isothermal conditions lead very seldom to the intimate reaction mechanism. There is also a lack of information because in non-isothermal kinetics, the compensation effect, is rather a rule and unfortunately a source of debate. In order to discriminate between these processes, and the influence of conversion, respectively temperature on the reaction rate, the NPK (non-parametric kinetic - Sempere and Nomen) method was used. This method is based on the singular value decomposition algorithm (SVD) applied on the matrix of reaction rate at corresponding conversion and temperature. This method allows a less speculative determination of the conversion functions and of the kinetic parameters.     

A kinetic stability study of MN (MBe,Mg, Ca,Sr, and Ba)

This work describes a structure and kinetic stability study of some complexes with the general formula MN, where M are the alkaline earth metal atoms, Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, and Ba. A complex (A) with two points of attachment to the N₅ ring is the most energetically favored for all metals considered here. Except for Be, structure (B) containing a mono‐coordinated metal atom is a transition state corresponding to the metal atom transfer around the N₅ ring. Pyramidal structure (C) is kinetically unstable with the low isomerization barrier height, ranging from 0.9 to 6.7 kcal/mol. The dissociation barrier heights for the lowest energy isomers (A) are predicted to be 1.2–18.7 kcal/mol (Be to Ba), indicating that kinetic stability increases from lighter to heavier metal atoms. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Kinetic spectrophotometric determination of trace manganese (II) with dahlia violet in nonionic microemulsion medium

A new catalytic kinetic spectrophotometric method has been developed for the determination of trace amount of manganese (II) in nonionic microemulsion medium. The method is based on the catalytic effect of manganese (II) on the oxidation of dahlia violet by potassium periodate with nitrilotriacetic acid as an activitor in the presence of nonionic microemulsion. Under the optimum conditions, the calibration graph is linear in the range of 0.0004-0.0056 μg ml⁻¹ of manganese (II) at 580 nm. The detection limit achieved is 3.75×10⁻⁵ μg ml⁻¹. Manganese (II) in foodstuff samples was determined with satisfactory results.     

Kinetic resolution of heterocyclic amines by reaction with optically active acid chlorides. The effect of reaction conditions on the diastereoselectivity of acylation of (±)-3-methyl-2,3-dihydro-4H-1,4-benzoxazine

The influence of the reaction conditions (solvent, base) on the diastereoselectivity of acylation of (±)-3-methyl-2,3-dihydro-4H-1,4-benzoxazine with (S)-naproxen and N-tosyl-(S)-proline chlorides was studied. The highest diastereoselectivity was observed for the reaction carried out in benzene in the presence of aliphatic tertiary amines.     

Determination of trace rhodium by supramolecular catalytic kinetic spectrofluorimetry of β-CD-rhodium-KBrO3-vanillin salicylhydrazone

A sensitive catalytic kinetic spectrofluorimetric approach for determining ng mL⁻¹ levels of rhodium is presented, and the possible mechanism of the catalytic reaction was investigated. The determination is based on the catalytic property of rhodium to enhance the reaction of o-vanillin salicylhydrazone (OVSH) with potassium bromate in a water-ethanol medium at pH 4.80 and 45 °C. The presence of β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) obviously sensitized the assay due to its high inclusion ability towards OVSH. Under optimized experimental conditions, fluorescence measurements of the β-CD-rhodium-KBrO₃-OVSH catalytic kinetic reaction system were carried out in its fluorescent band centered at λ_ex = 333 nm and λ_em = 476 nm, respectively. The calibration graph was linear over the concentration range of 0.47–100 ng mL⁻¹ with a detection limit of 0.14 ng mL⁻¹. The effect of interferences was discussed, and the results show that the extraction method can be used to separate rhodium from interference species such as iridium. The proposed method, applied to several synthetic mixtures containing rhodium mixed with varying amounts of metal salts, produced satisfactory results.     

Determination of Utratrace Silver Using Surfactant As Sensitizer by Catalytic Near Field Laser Thermal Lens Spectrometry

Thermal lens spectrometry (TLS) is an excellent tool for trace analysis1. TLS allows the detection of absorbances of 10-7～10-8, concentration of ≈ 10-11 mol稬-1 and the analysis of 10-15 L volumes with ≈10-2 absorbing molecules2. Kinetic analysis is playing an increasingly important part in modern analytical chemistry. Therefore, TLS shows much promise in combination with kinetic analysis. However, there are few data on TLS applications in kinetic analysis method so far3～4. A ne…

Enantiomer differentiation in intramolecular carbon—hydrogen insertion reactions of racemic secondary alkyl diazoacetates catalyzed by chiral dirhodium(ii) carboxamidates

Highly efficient kinetic resolution of racemic secondary alkyl diazoacetates in intramolecular carbon-hydrogen insertion reactions has been achieved using chiral dirhodium(ii) carboxamidates. Products formed from catalytic diazo decomposition of racemic 2-octyl diazoacetate and, separately, its (2R)- and (2S)-enantiomeric forms, as well as bothcis- andtrans-2-methylcyclohexyl diazoacetates, have been systematically evaluated. Enantioselectivities up to 99 %ee have been obtained for -lactone formation. -Lactone production has been observed and, although minor with cyclohexyl diazoacetates, is the major insertion pathway for diazo decomposition of 2-octyl diazoacetate.Dedicated to Academician of the RAS N.

Trend to equilibrium of weak solutions of the Boltzmann equation in a slab with diffusive boundary conditions

Recently R. Illner and the author proved that, under a physically realistic truncation on the collision kernel, the Boltzmann equation in the one-dimensional slab [0, 1] with general diffusive boundary conditions at 0 and 1 has a global weak solution in the traditional sense. Here it is proved that when the Maxwellians associated with the boundary conditions atx=0 andx=1 are the same MaxwellianM _w , then the solution is uniformly bounded and tends toM _w fort.
