Thermal investigation of iron(III) and manganese(II,III) complexes of dianils derived from 6-formylkhellin

Manganese and iron complexes of Schiff bases derived from 6-formylkhellin were prepared and characterized. Complexes of o-phenylenediamine derivative (ligand (I)) are monomeric or dimeric whereas those of p-phenylenediamine derivative (ligand (II)) are polymeric. The complexes obtained are characterized by a lower magnetic moment values. The complexes also have different solvent of crystallization with different nature of interaction. The thermal behaviour of the ligands and their metal complexes was investigated by means of DTA, TG, IR and X-ray diffraction spectroscopy. Ligand (I) shows different thermal behaviour from that of ligands (II) and (III). The complexes of ligand (II) give abnormal oxides as a final product during their thermal decomposition. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Determination of dipole moment in the ground and excited state by experimental and theoretical methods of N-nonyl acridine orange

The absorption and fluorescence spectra of N-nonyl acridine orange are determined at room temperature (298 K) in cyclohexane, benzene, carbon tetrachloride, chloroform, chlorobenzene and dichloromethane. The ground state of dipole moment was obtained by impedance measurements using Guggenheim-Debeye's method. The experimental excited state dipole moment of N-nonyl acridine orange was determined using Bakhshiev's and Kawski-Chamma-Viallet's formulae and solvent polarity parameter proposed by Reichardt. These experimental results were completed with theoretical results using quantum chemical methods. The experimental (muexp=10.76 D) and theoretical (mucal=9.9 D) dipole moments in the ground and excited state (muexp*=14.56 D) were compared.     

Hygrometric Determination of Water Activities and Osmotic and Activity Coefficients of NH4Cl–LiCl–H2O at 25°C

The mixed aqueous electrolyte system of ammonium and lithium chlorides has been studied by the hygrometric method at 25°C. The relative humidities of this system are measured at total molalities from 0.3 to 6 mol-kg^{– 1} for different ionic-strength fractions y of NH₄Cl with y = 0.33, 0.50, and 0.67. The data obtained allow the deduction of new water activities and osmotic coefficients. The experimental results are compared with the predictions of the ECA (extended composed additivity) law proposed in our previous work. The Zdanovskii–Stokes–Robinson (ZSR), the Robinson–Stokes (RS), Reilly–Wood–Robinson (RWR), the Pitzer, and the Lietzke–Stoughton (LS II) models are also compared with our results. Predictions made using these models are, in general, consistent with our results. From these measurements, new Pitzer mixing ionic parameters are determined and used to predict the solute activity coefficients in the mixture for different ionic-strength fractions.     

二价金属离子萃取速率常数与软硬酸碱规则

用上升液滴法测定了２－乙基己基膦酸单（２－乙基己基）酯－正辛烷从硝酸介质中萃取镁、钙、锌、镍、铜和铅等二价金属离子的正向初始速率，建立了速率方程，计算出正向萃取反应的速率常数、活化能及活化熵，首次将软硬酸碱规则与金属溶萃取速率常数关联。结果表明，在萃取机理相同时，萃取速率常数的大小与金属离子的软硬酸碱标度一致，即萃取过程中，作为酸的被萃取金属离子，其硬度越大，萃取速率常数亦越大，萃取反应的活化能…     

Circular dichroism of sesquiterpene-umbelliferone ethers and structure elucidation of a new derivative isolated from the gum resin “Asa Foetida”

The CD spectra of 16 naturally occurring sesquiterpene-umbelliferone ethers, including the complete set of farnesiferol A isomers with all acetates and 6-oxoderivatives, are reported over the significant wavelength range of 350–200 nm. 11 compounds were isolated from an Asa Foetida sample and 5 further derivatives, already known as natural products, were obtained by acetylation orJones oxidation. In addition, a new compound — kamolonol (14) — was isolated. Its structure is characterized by twofold methyl migration in the drimenol derived sesquiterpene moiety.¹H-NMR, MS, IR, UV, and CD data of the new compound are discussed.Herrn Prof. Dr.K.

Flammability studies of 3-methyl pyridine/water system

In industrial processes, information on the safety property of chemicals is essentially crucial for safe handling during unit operations. Ensuring the safe use of combustible or flammable substances in processes is unlikely without detailed investigations of their flammability characteristics and related hazards. We studied 3-methyl pyridine (3-picoline), e.g., flammability limits (LFL/UFL), maximum explosion pressure (P _max), maximum explosion pressure rise (dP/dt)_max, minimum oxygen concentration (MOC), vapor deflagration index (K _g), and characterized the influence of inert steam (H₂O) on critical parameters for 3-picoline/water mixtures at 270°C, 1 atm, various oxygen concentrations, and vapor mixing ratios (100/0, 30/70, 10/90 and 5/95 vol.%) with a 20-L-Apparatus in simulated conditions, respectively. The results showed that the flammability characteristics of 3-picoline_(aq) all increased with the oxygen concentration. However, as the composition of inert steam increased, the flammability parameters and the degree of fire and explosion hazards were significantly reduced, instead. This study elucidated the flammability properties of 3-picoline mixed with inert steam. The conclusions could be applied to proactively prevent the relevant processes from incurring fire and explosion accidents.

四氢呋喃（THF）-Na2O-SiO2-Al2O3-H2O体系水热合成的THF-FER沸石，经酸交 换-焙烧脱THF（Ⅰ）或焙烧脱THF-酸交换（Ⅱ）的不同方式处理，均可制得低钠H- FER沸石。经XRD，^27Al与^29Si MAS NMR,低温氮吸附等表征证明，通过1273K高温 的热处理和1073K饱和水蒸气下的水热处理，H-FER沸石骨架保持高度稳定。在高温 水蒸气作用下，Si(2Al）容易从骨架上脱离，而Si(1Al）则保持相对稳定，以（Ⅱ ）方法处理，制备的H-FER沸石在水热条件下易产生较多的硅差劲基缺陷。经高温 热和水热处理后，H-FER沸石孔道结构基本保持完美、开放。     

Use of a database of plots of pesticide retention (R F) against mobile-phase composition.Part I. Correlation of pesticide retention data in normal- and reversed-phase systems and their use to separate a mixture of ten pesticides by 2D TLC

Summary Ten pesticides have been completely separated by two-dimensional (2D) development on TLC plates coated with coupled layers of octadecyl silica (reversed-phase, RP) and plain silica (normal-phase, NP). The binary mobile phases, aqueous-organic for RP chromatography and nonaqueous for NP chromatography, were chosen from plots ofR _F against mobile-phase composition and graphicalR _F(RP)-R _F(NP) correlations. The different selectivity of the RP and NP systems enabled dispersion of spots over the plate area and good separation.     

Experimental and theoretical study of vibrational spectra and structure of dihalogermylene and dihalostannylene complexes with 1,4-dioxane and triphenylphosphine

Vibrational (Raman and IR) spectra of the 1:1 complexes of dihalogermylene and dihalostannylene with 1,4-dioxane and PPh₃ have been reported, the structures of the complexes Cl₂Ge·C₄H₈O₂ and Cl₂Ge·PPh₃ updated using high-resolution X-ray method. Quantum-chemistry calculations of the geometry and normal mode frequencies and eigenvectors were carried out for some of the complexes. The results show that in the structure of the polymeric solid complexes of X₂M with 1,4-dioxane, intermolecular coordination XM plays a prominent role, whereas the corresponding complexes with PPh₃ are monomeric. In the vibrational spectra of all the complexes, an inversion of symmetric and antisymmetric stretching νXM (X=Cl, Br; M=Ge, Sn) frequencies, found for ‘free’ X₂M^II particles, still persists, suggesting that the X₂M moieties preserve their specifity as carbene analogues also in the complexes.
