Unexpected valence bond isomerization of [1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-c][1,2,4]benzotriazines under flash vacuum pyrolytic (fvp) conditions

Flash vacuum pyrolysis (fvp) of some substituted [1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-c][1,2,4]benzotriazine derivatives (1a-d) has been studied between 450 and 600 °C. The only transformation observed up to 525 °C was the unexpected valence bond isomerization of the angularly fused starting compounds to the isomeric linearly fused [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-b][1,2,4]benzotriazine derivatives (9a-d), whereas at higher temperatures fragmentation products such as aromatic nitriles were also formed. Kinetic measurements revealed negative entropies of activation in the isomerization process, which suggest a concerted ring closure reaction to an intermediate antiaromatic diazirine. Reversibiblity of the title isomerization reaction was also proved by FVP experiments.     

A density functional study on a biomimetic non-heme iron catalyst: insights into alkane hydroxylation by a formally HO-FeV=O oxidant

The reactivity of [HO-(tpa)Fe(V)=O] (TPA=tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine), derived from O-O bond heterolysis of its [H(2)O-(tpa)Fe(III)-OOH] precursor, was explored by means of hybrid density functional theory. The mechanism for alkane hydroxylation by the high-valent iron-oxo species invoked as an intermediate in Fe(tpa)/H(2)O(2) catalysis was investigated. Hydroxylation of methane and propane by HO-Fe(V)=O was studied by following the rebound mechanism associated with the heme center of cytochrome P450, and it is demonstrated that this species is capable of stereospecific alkane hydroxylation. The mechanism proposed for alkane hydroxylation by HO-Fe(V)=O accounts for the experimentally observed incorporation of solvent water into the products. An investigation of the possible hydroxylation of acetonitrile (i.e., the solvent used in the experiments) shows that the activation energy for hydrogen-atom abstraction by HO-Fe(V)=O is rather high and, in fact, rather similar to that of methane, despite the similarity of the H-CH(2)CN bond strength to that of the secondary C-H bond in propane. This result indicates that the kinetics of hydrogen-atom abstraction are strongly affected by the cyano group and rationalizes the lack of experimental evidence for solvent hydroxylation in competition with that of substrates such as cyclohexane.     

Thermal analysis of polysiloxanes, aromatic polyimide and their blends

Low molecular weight poly(dimethylsiloxane) and poly(methylphenylsiloxane) were synthesized and blended with polyimide (PI) at its precursor poly(amic acid) stage. FTIR analysis has proven the retention of polysiloxanes in polyimide after the ultimate curing of blends. Differential scanning calorimetric analysis was performed on polysiloxanes to elucidate the structures present in polymers while thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) was performed on polysiloxanes, polyimide as well as their blends to evaluate the thermal stability and to analyze the effect of polysiloxane incorporation in blends. Blends have shown synergistic improvement as compared to neat polyimide.

Interactions between temperature-sensitive hydrogel microspheres and granulocytes

Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) has a low critical solution temperature (LCST) at 32°C in water and the hydrophilicity changes through the LCST. The microspheres whose surface was composed of PNIPAM exhibited phase transition behavior around 32°C. Therefore, the interactions between PNIPAM micropheres and granulocytes depended on the temperature. That is, the oxygen consumption and active oxygen production by cells in contact with PNIPAM-containing microspheres and adhesion of the microspheres to the cell surface were more enhanced above the LCST of PNIPAM than below it, whereas no significant temperature dependence of cell–microspheres interaction was observed in nonthermosensitive microsphere systems. It was suggested that the function of cells could be controlled with temperature using the temperature-sensitive microspheres.     

Thermodynamic properties of electrolyte solutions: An EMF study of the activity coefficients of KCl in the system KCl−KNO3−H2O at 25, 35 and 45°C

Electromotive force measurements were carried out on the system KCl–KNO₃–H₂O at constant total ionic strengths of 0.5, 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 mol-kg^–1 and at 25, 35 and 45°C using a cell consisting of a potassium ionselective electrode and a Ag/AgCl electrode. The Harned coefficients and the Pitzer binary and ternary interaction parameters for the system have been evaluated at each temperature. The osmotic coefficients, excess free energies of mixing and heats of mixing of the system have been predicted at each of the experimental temperatures and ionic strengths. The solubility data at 25°C are also interpreted.     

Quantum-chemical calculation of a spillover model on a graphite support

The simplest quantum-chemical models of hydrogen spillover over a graphite-like surface as a proton or radical have been considered. The condensed planar C₂₄H₁₂ molecule was used as a model surface. Theab initio calculations of the interaction of hydrogen with the model surface were carried out by the restricted Hartree-Fock (HF) method in the STO-3G and 6-31 G^* basis sets. The radical hydrogen can not bind to such a surface, whereas the proton binds to it with an energy release of 186 kcal mol⁻¹. The activation energy of the transfer of the proton between two neighboring carbon atoms (10 kcal mol⁻¹) has been determined. The simplest model of the hydrogen migration as a proton over the model surface can be used for describing the spillover of hydrogen over the graphite surface. Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Errors involved in the activation energy calculated by integral methods when the frequency factor depends on the temperature ( A = A 0 T m)

The dependence of the frequency factor on the temperature (A=A ₀ T ^m) has been examined and the errors involved in the activation energy calculated from some integral methods without considering such dependence have been estimated. Investigated integral methods are the Coats-Redfern method, the Gorbachev-Lee-Beck method, the Wanjun-Yuwen method and the Junmeng-Fusheng method. The results have shown that the error in the determination of the activation energy calculated ignoring the dependence of the frequency factor on the temperature can be rather large and it is dependent on x=E/RT and the exponent m.
