Kinetics of the thermal dehydrations and decompositions of some mixed metal oxalates

Both isothermal and programmed temperature experiments have been used to obtain kinetic parameters for the dehydrations and the decompositions in nitrogen of the mixed metal oxalates: FeCu(ox)₂·3H₂O, CoCu(ox)₂·3H₂O and NiCu(ox)₂·3.5H₂O, [ox=C₂O₄]. Results are compared with those reported for the thermal decompositions of the individual metal oxalates, Cuox, Coox·2H₂O, Niox·2H₂O and Feox·2H₂O. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was also used to examinee the individual and the mixed oxalates. Dehydrations of the mixed oxalates were mainly deceleratory processes with activation energies (80 to 90 kJ·mol⁻¹), similar to those reported for the individual hydrated oxalates. Temperature ranges for dehydration were broadly similar for all the hydrates studied here (130 to 180°C). Decompositions of the mixed oxalates were all complex endothermic processes with no obvious resemblance to the exothermic reaction of Cuox, or the reactions of physical mixtures of the corresponding individual oxalates. The order of decreasing stability, as indicated by the temperature ranges giving comparable decomposition rates, was NiCu(ox)₂>CoCu(ox)₂>FeCu(ox)₂, which also corresponds to the order of increasing covalency of the Cu−O bonds as shown by XPS.

单一稀土Ce, La和混合稀土在工业纯铝中的作用

通过对比实验的方法，研究了稀土Ce，La和混合稀土对工业纯铝组织、电性能和机械性能的影响。结果表明：单一稀土La，Ce可降低工业纯铝的电阻率，提高工业纯铝的导电性，其中La的效果优于Ce．而混合稀土对电阻率几乎无影响；La，Ce和混合稀土均能减小工业纯铝的晶粒度，在其加入量为0．1％后细化效果明显，当其含量大于0．5％后细化效果趋于平缓，其中Ce的效果最佳，La次之，混合稀土最弱；单一稀土La，Ce在一定含量时可提高工业纯铝的σb6和δ，Ce的作用强于La，混合稀土对σb和δ的影响不明显。     

Spin-transition behaviour of transition metal complexes with 2,6-bis-(benzimidazol-2′-yl)-pyridine induced by deprotonation of the complex

Summary 2,6-bis-(Benzimidazol-2-yl)-pyridine (bzimpy = H₂ L) acts as a bidentate ligand when combining with transition metal ions. The complexes [M(bzimpy)₂](ClO₄)₂ (M = Fe²⁺, Mn²⁺, Zn²⁺, Co²⁺, and Ni²⁺) were obtained as solids. The protonation constants (logK) for the ligand and the complexes were evaluated in 30:70 (v/v) H₂O:EtOH at 293 K and at constant ionic strength of 0.12M KCl. Coordination of the ligand to the metal ions leads to an increase of acidity of the imino-hydrogen of the benzimidazole group of the ligand as a function of the complex stability. Deprotonation leads to a spin-state transition (intermediate spin-state low-spin) of the iron(II)-complex, followed by a shift of the metal-to-ligandcharge transfer band (MLCT) to lower energies (_max=563 to 580 nm). The d-d absorption bands are found to shift to higher energies and the low-spin isomer is favoured at room temperature. An opposite shift of theMLCT band (_max=563 to 557 nm) is observed when HClO₄ is added to the complex solution, rendering the high-spin state of the complex more favourable.On leave from the Chemistry Department, Jahangirnagar University, Dhaka, Bangladesh

过渡金属对分子筛担载Pd催化剂上CO氧化性能影响

分别采用共浸和连续浸渍法制备了一系列添加过渡金属的Pd-M-Ox-NaZSM-5(M=Cr，Mn，Fe，Co，Ni，Cu，Zn，Mo，Zr等)负载型催化剂．以CO氧化为探针反应，考察了不同制备方法对CO氧化性能影响，结果表明共浸法制备的各催化剂其活性明显优于连续浸渍法．详细考察了反应温度、Fe含量、氢气预还原、空速以及水蒸气等对共浸Pd-Fe-Ox-NaZSM-5催化剂上CO氧化行为影响，并应用XRD和XPS等手段对催化剂体相结构和表面状态进行了表征．结果表明：加入Fe2O3可明显提高Pd/NaZSM-5催化剂活性，且催化CO氧化的转化率随反应温度及Fe含量增加而增加；空速增加以及H2预还原作用导致Pd-Fe-Ox-NaZSM-5活性有所降低；催化剂对水蒸气较为敏感．XRD测试结果表明催化剂中Pd组分处于较高分散状态，以红铁矿形式存在的Fe2O3的引入，促进了Pd物种在NaZSM-5载体上的分散．表面XPS分析证实Fe2O3与Pd物种间存在较强的相互协同作用，且催化剂表面Pd物种处于较高氧化状态．Pd的高分散及其与Fe2O3的相互协同作用是共浸催化剂具有高活性的关键因素．     

Microwave assisted low temperature synthesis of sodium zirconium phosphate (NaZr<Subscript>2</Subscript>P<Subscript>3</Subscript>O<Subscript>12</Subscript>)

Sodium zirconium phosphate [NaZr₂P₃O₁₂], a potential ceramic matrix for fixation of high level nuclear waste, was synthesized by heating the mixture of sodium carbonate [Na₂CO₃], zirconyl nitrate hydrate [ZrO(NO₃)₂·5H₂O] and ammonium dihydrogen phosphate [NH₄H₂PO₄] in air, in a resistance heated furnace and a microwave heating system respectively in the temperature range 450 to 650°C. The mixture heated for 1 h in a resistance furnace at 450°C yielded a poorly crystalline NaZr₂P₃O₁₂ [NZP]. Increasing the temperature to 650°C produced a highly crystalline product. The same mixture heated in a microwave oven at 450°C for 1 h however, yielded the most crystalline NZP.In an alternate method, the mixture of sodium dihydrogen phosphate (NaH₂PO₄), zirconium dioxide (ZrO₂) and diammonium hydrogen phosphate [(NH₄)₂HPO₄] heated in resistance furnace at 650°C for the same period did not react in air. It also did not yield the pure product at 450°C when heated in microwave assembly for 1 h.The authors thank the Board of Research in Nuclear Sciences (BRNS) of the Department of Atomic Energy (DAE) for the financial support for this work under the project No. 2000/37/19/BRNS/1959 dtd09-02-02.     

Complexation of Fluvastatin Sodium with β-Cyclodextrin: NMR Spectroscopic Study in Solution

¹H NMR spectroscopic study of fluvastatin sodium (FLU), β-Cyclodextrin (β-CD) and their mixtures confirmed the formation of FLU/β-CD inclusion complex in solution. The stoichiometry of the complex was determined to be 1:1 and the overall binding constant (K _s) was calculated to be 340 M⁻¹. Two dimensional COSY, ROESY and DEPTO experiments were performed for the unambiguous assignment of aromatic proton resonances and it was found that two isomeric forms of FLU are present in solution. It was confirmed with the help of ROESY spectral data that only F-substituted aromatic ring penetrates the β-CD cavity and there is chiral differentiation by the β-CD as one of the isomer binds more strongly, which is indicated by the intensity of correlation peaks. The mode of penetration of the guest into the β-CD cavity was also established and structure of the complex has been proposed.
