High pressure solubility data of carbon dioxide in (tri-iso-butyl(methyl)phosphonium tosylate + water) systems

Ionic liquids are attracting great attention nowadays due to their interesting properties which make them useful in a broad range of applications including reaction media or separation/capture of environmentally hazardous gases such as carbon dioxide. In many cases, for practical and/or economical reasons, the use of aqueous solutions of ILs would be preferable to their use as pure compounds.In this work, high pressure equilibrium data for the {carbon dioxide (CO₂) + tri-iso-butyl(methyl)phosphonium tosylate [iBu₃MeP][TOS] + water system were measured at temperatures ranging from (276 to 370) K and pressures up to 100 MPa. Measurements were performed using a high-pressure cell with a sapphire window that allows direct observation of the liquid–vapour transition. Mixtures with different IL concentrations were studied in order to check the influence of the amount of IL on the solubility of CO₂ in the aqueous mixture.The results show that the presence of IL enhances the solubility of CO₂ in the (IL + water) system revealing a salting-in effect of the IL on the solubility of CO₂. The appearance of a three phase region was observed for IL concentrations higher than 4 mol% of IL in water when working at pressures between 4 and 8 MPa and temperatures between (280 and 305) K. In this range, the upper limit of the VLE region observed is shown to increase with the temperature being almost independent of the IL initial concentration in the mixture.     

Thermal gas-phase reaction of perfluorobuta-1,3-diene with NO2

The reaction of NO₂ with perfluorobuta-1,3-diene, CF₂CFCFCF₂ (C₄F₆), has been studied at 312.9, 323.0, 333.4, 396.0 and 418.0 K, using a conventional static system. The products formed in the temperature range 312.9-333.4 K were CF₂CFCF(NO₂)CF₂(NO₂) (I), CF₂(NO₂)CFCFCF₂(NO₂) (II), CF₂CFCF(NO₂)C(O)F (III) and CF₂(NO₂)CFCFC(O)F (IV) and FNO. The formation of these compounds was detected performing infrared and Raman spectra. The infrared spectrum shows a band at 1785 cm⁻¹, characteristic to the terminal -CFCF₂ group and the Raman spectrum shows a band located at 1733 cm⁻¹, corresponding to -CFCF- group. It indicates, that in this temperature range, NO₂ attacks initially only one double bound of CF₂CFCFCF₂. Since the intermediate radical CF₂CFCFCF₂(NO₂) formed in this process is allylic in nature, so there is no isomerization involved in this process, but rather the allylic radical is able to add the second NO₂ either to CF₂ or CFCF₂(NO₂) end, forming the corresponding products. At 396.0 and 418.0 K different products were observed: CF₂(NO₂)CF(NO₂)C(O)F (V), NO, CF₃C(O)F, C(O)F₂ and traces of epoxide of tetrafluoroethene, showing that, at these temperatures, both double bonds are attacked by NO₂ and detachment of CF₂ group is produced. The mechanisms consistent with experimental results in the temperature range 312.9-333.4 and at 396.0 and 418 K are proposed.     

Electrochemical carboxylation of fluorocontaining imines with preparation of fluorinated N-phenylphenylglycines

A possibility of obtaining fluorine-containing N-phenylphenylglycine derivatives at yields of up to 85% via the electrochemical carboxylation of corresponding benzalanilines was shown. The influence of imine's electron structure, the nature of supporting electrolyte and cathodic material on such processes is examined. It was found, that increasing electron accepting ability of the substituents in benzylidene and aniline fragments of the imine molecule lead to decrease of amino acid yields. The dependence of the N-phenyl-p-fluorophenylglycine yield on the cathode material (Zn, GC, Cu, Ag, Pt) and on the nature of the supporting electrolytes (Bu₄NBr, Et₄NBr, Et₄NClO₄, PhCH₂Me₃NClO₄, LiBF₄, LiClO₄, NaBF₄ and KBF₄) was investigated. The highest amino acid yields were obtained at cathodes (GC and Zn) that do not exhibit specific adsorption of fluorine-containing imines, as well as in the presence of background salts (Alk₄NBr) whose cations do not show tendency to strong ion pairing with anion radicals formed by the electrochemical activation of the imines.     

Preparation, crystal structure, and photoluminescence of Ca2SnO4:Eu, Y

Eu³⁺-doped Ca₂SnO₄ (solid solutions of Ca_2−xEu_2xSn_1−xO₄, 0?x?0.3) and Eu³⁺ and Y³⁺-codoped Ca₂SnO₄ (Ca_1.8Y_0.2Eu_0.2Sn_0.8O₄) were prepared by solid-state reaction at 1400 °C in air. Rietveld analysis of the X-ray powder diffraction patterns revealed that Eu³⁺ replaced Ca²⁺ and Sn⁴⁺ in Eu³⁺-doped Ca₂SnO₄, and that Eu³⁺ replaced Ca²⁺ and Y³⁺ replaced Sn⁴⁺ in Ca_1.8Y_0.2Eu_0.2Sn_0.8O₄. Red luminescence at 616 nm due to the electric dipole transition ⁵D_o→⁷F₂ was observed in the photoluminescence (PL) spectra of Ca_2−xEu_2xSn_1−xO₄ and Ca_1.8Y_0.2Eu_0.2Sn_0.8O₄ at room temperature. The maximum PL intensity in the solid solutions of Ca_2−xEu_2xSn_1−xO₄ was obtained for x=0.1. The PL intensity of Ca_1.8Y_0.2Eu_0.2Sn_0.8O₄ was 1.26 times greater than that of Ca_2−xEu_2xSn_1−xO₄ with x=0.1.     

Structure, microstructure, and size dependent catalytic properties of nanostructured ruthenium dioxide

Nanostructured powders of ruthenium dioxide RuO₂ were synthesized via a sol gel route involving acidic solutions with pH varying between 0.4 and 4.5. The RuO₂ nanopowders were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning and transmission electron microscopy (SEM and TEM). Rietveld refinement of mean crystal structure was performed on RuO₂ nanopowders and crystallized standard RuO₂ sample. Crystallite sizes measured from X-ray diffraction profiles and TEM analysis varied in the range of 4-10 nm, with a minimum of crystallite dimension for pH=1.5. A good agreement between crystallite sizes calculated from Williamson Hall approach of X-ray data and from direct TEM observations was obtained. The tetragonal crystal cell parameter (a) and cell volumes of nanostructured samples were characterized by values greater than the values of standard RuO₂ sample. In addition, the [Ru-O₆] oxygen octahedrons of rutile structure also depended on crystal size. Catalytic conversion of methane by these RuO₂ nanostructured catalysts was studied as a function of pH, catalytic interaction time, air methane composition, and catalysis temperature, by the way of Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy coupled to homemade catalytic cell. The catalytic efficiency defined as FTIR absorption band intensities I(CO₂) was maximum for sample prepared at pH=1.5, and mainly correlated to crystallite dimensions. No significant catalytic effect was observed from sintered RuO₂ samples.     

Intermolecular interactions and the structure of near-surface layers in heterogeneous two-component systems based on nanocystallites of titanium dioxide

This contribution provides the theoretical background for the structure-determining role of hydrogen bonding in the formation of a near-surface layer of titania nanocrystallites, previously revealed by the authors in the investigation of IR experimental spectra of two-component solid mixtures of nanocrystalline titanium dioxide with benzophenone or 4-pentyl-4′-cyanobiphenyl. DFT calculations (B3LYP) in 6-31+G(d) basis set is used to simulate the structure and IR spectra of free molecules of water, 4-pentyl-4′-cyanobiphenyl, benzophenone and their H-complexes formed in the near-surface layers of titania nanocrystallites due to presence of water adsorbed on their surfaces. Using the results of simulation and analysis of IR spectrum bands corresponding to stretching vibrations of polar bonds O-H, C=O, C≡N, the formation mechanism of near-surface layers of titania nanocrystallites in the considered heterogeneous two-component systems is theoretically substantiated: they are formed by hydrogen-bonded complexes involving components of the mixture and water.     

Photoluminescence study of the electronic structure of HfO<Subscript>2</Subscript> films

A method was developed for investigating hafnium dioxide films; this procedure uses a hydrogen-deuterium lamp as a source of photoluminescence (PL) excitation. Photoluminescence in HfO₂ films was investigated. An analysis of the PL spectra of the films showed that they coincided with the spectra described in the literature and recorded using more powerful sources (synchrotron radiation or ArF laser). A comparison of our results with the literature data confirmed that the PL spectra of the films weakly depended on the type of the substrate used for the synthesis. The PL band intensity depends on the synthetic conditions and the annealing temperature. We analyzed the PL and excitation spectra and revealed an emission band at an energy E ～ 4 eV with a narrow excitation maximum at E _max ? 4.25 eV, which was assigned to the vibronic resonance transition A ²Σ⁺ ? X ²Π_i in the OH_?* excited radical. Water was detected in the PL spectra of the HfO₂ films; it is trapped as an impurity after thermal decomposition of Hf(dpm)₄ in the course of film growth. The detection of water in the PL spectra of these films provides new insight into the problem of the effect of this impurity on the leakage currents and the importance of control over its content in the films.     

Two-dimensional lanthanide coordination polymers with bis(diphenylphosphino)hexane dioxide. The determination of the polymeric structure from twinned crystals

Lanthanide nitrates and bis(diphenylphosphino)hexane dioxide (dpphO₂) formed under solvothermal conditions a series of coordination polymers [Ln(dpphO₂)₂(NO₃)₂](NO₃) (Ln = Pr (1), Nd (2), Sm (3), Dy (4), Lu (5)), featuring two-dimensional network structure of the (4, 4) topology. The compounds [Ln(dpphO₂)₂Cl₂]Cl (Ln = Pr (6), Nd (7), Gd (8)) were obtained from corresponding chlorides. Coordination polymer 7 formed regular single crystals of the orthorhombic Pna₂₁$\mathit{Pna}{2}_1$ space group. The nitrate complexes crystallized in the orthorhombic Aea2 space group, however, the crystals were pseudo-merohedral twins simulating a tetragonal diffraction pattern. Unlike our previously characterized neutral polymers with bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane dioxide, all present coordination networks are cationic, with anions located between or within the two-dimensional layers.
