Heats of adsorption of linear CO species adsorbed on the Au degrees and Ti+delta sites of a 1% Au/TiO2 catalyst using in situ FTIR spectroscopy under adsorption equilibrium

The heats of adsorption of two linear CO species adsorbed on the Au degrees particles (denoted L(Au degrees)) and on the Ti(+delta) sites (denoted L(Ti+delta)) of a 1% Au/TiO(2) catalyst are determined as the function of their respective coverage by using the AEIR procedure (adsorption equilibrium infrared spectroscopy) previously developed. Mainly, the evolutions of the IR band area of each adsorbed species (2184 cm(-1) for L(Ti+delta) and at 2110 cm(-1) for L(Au degrees)) as a function of the adsorption temperature T(a), at a constant CO adsorption pressure P(CO), provide the evolutions of the coverages theta(LTi+delta) and theta(LAu degrees ) of each adsorbed CO species with T(a) in isobar conditions that give the individual heats of adsorption. It is shown that they linearly vary from 74 to 47 kJ/mol for L(Au degrees ) and from 50 to 40 kJ/mol for L(Ti+delta) at coverages 0 and 1, respectively. These values are consistent with literature data on model Au particles and TiO(2). In particular, it is shown that the mathematical formalism supporting the AEIR procedure can be applied to literature data on Au-containing solids (single crystals and model particles).     

Spectrophotometric determination of cadmium(II) using 2-(5-bromo-2-pyridylazo)-5-diethylaminophenol

The complex of cadmium with the reagent 2-(-5-bromo-2-pyridylazo)-5-diethylaminophenol (5-Br-PADAP) has been studied. The composition, stability constant, and free energy change of formation of the complex have been determined. A sensitive spectrophotometric method for the determination of cadmium has been developed and applied for a range of concentration of 0.4–4.0 μg/ml cadmium using the complex Cd-5-Br-PADAP. The optimum conditions for maximum sensitivity of determination such as standing time, pH, wavelength, and order of addition have been determined. The effect of foreign ions on this method has been also studied.     

Electroanalysis with tungsten electrodes : I. The tungsten/platinum bimetallic pair in potentiometry at zero current

The W/Pt bimetallic pair has been applied in various potentiometric titrations. Except for the neutralization of dicarboxylic acids, e.g., oxalic, the pair is suitable for neutralization titrations where ΔE/ΔV values at the equivalence point are higher on W than on Pt. Tungsten oxides increase the inflexion pd. The pair is also suitable for oxidation/reduction titrations using permanganate, dichromate, and ceric sulfate, and for precipitation reactions with silver nitrate. However, it gives a small inflexion pd in the oxidation of thiosulfate by iodine. EDTA titrations of copper, magnesium, and calcium give a sharp inflexion in the case of copper only. This pair may be useful in routine analyses requiring a robust electrode assembly but not a high degree of accuracy.     

2-(5-Bromo-2-pyridylazo)-5-diethylaminophenol as a reagent for the spectrophotometric determination of La(III), Y(III), and Ce(III)

The complexes of the reagent 5-Br-PADAP with the metal ions La(III), Ce(III), and Y(III) have been studied.The composition and stability of these complexes have been determined. A sensitive spectrophotometric procedure for the determination of the metal ions La(III), Ce(III), and Y(III) has been proposed. The limitations of this procedure and the effect of other ions have been studied.     

Flow injection determination of cobalt after its sorption onto polyurethane foam loaded with 2-(2-thiazolylazo)-p-cresol (TAC)

An electrochemically stable monolayer of tris(2,2'-bipyridyl)ruthenium(II) was obtained for the first time. It was based on the electrostatic attachment of Ru(bpy)(3)(2+) to the benzene sulfonic acid monolayer film, which was covalently bound onto glassy carbon electrode by the electrochemical reduction of diazobenzene sulfonic acid. The surface-confined Ru(bpy)(3)(2+) underwent reversible surface process, and reacted with the coreactant, tripropylamine, to produce electrochemiluminescence. In view of the stability of the electrode, the results strongly suggested that light was emitted from the surface-confined Ru(bpy)(3)(2+), not from the detached Ru(bpy)(3)(2+). The Ru(bpy)(3)(2+) modified electrode was used to the determination of tripropylamine. It showed good linearity in the concentration range from 5 muM to 1 mM with a detection limit of 1 muM (S/N=4). The good stability of the Ru(bpy)(3)(2+) modified electrode also showed that the benzene sulfonic acid monolayer film prepared can be served as an excellent support to construct multilayers.     

Studies of Tertiary Amine Oxides. Part1 15. Carbon - 13 nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of some N-(4-substituted phenyl) piperidine,the corresponding N-oxides,and their thermal-rearrangement product

The carbon-13 chemical shifts of seven N-(4-substituted phenyl) piperidine; the corresponding N-oxides, and their thermal rearrangement products were analyzed and assigned. The N-oxidation effect on the carbon-13 chemical shift is discussed, a correlation of N-oxidation effect with substituent constant (σ_p, σ_m, σ_I and σ_R) has been studied; dual substituent-parameter equation produce better correlation.     

Numerical solution of the coefficient inverse problems on nonstationary filtration to a well intersected by a hydraulic fracture

A computational algorithm is proposed to determine the reservoir and hydraulic fracture properties from the results of nonstationary hydrodynamic studies of vertical wells. The problem of oil flow to a well intersected by a fracture is solved numerically. Averaged permeabilities are used for cells through which the fracture propagates.     

One-pot enyne ring-closing metathesis–Diels–Alder reactions for the synthesis of polycyclic sulfamides

Ring-closing metathesis (RCM) and sequential Yb(OTf)₃ promoted Diels–Alder reactions of sulfamide-linked enynes proceeded selectively in one-pot to afford a series of bicyclic and tricyclic sulfamides. Excellent levels of diastereoselectivity are observed for the cycloaddition step, with only the endo-adducts being isolated. The protocol was further extended to incorporate a one-pot RCM–cross metathesis (CM)–Diels–Alder sequence, permitting rapid access to high levels of molecular complexity from simple and easily accessible precursors.
