Experimental investigation of the grain size dependence of the hydrolysis of LiH powder

2011

International audience; The hydrolysis reaction of LiH powder has been investigated in order to determine the products, rates and mechanisms of this reaction and the influence of the experimental parameters. Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and gravimetric analysis were used. It was shown that the product of hydrolysis was the hydroxide of lithium (LiOH) for low partial pressure of water (≈50 Pa) and LiOH*H2O for a higher partial pressure of water (>2000 Pa). Moreover, data obtained using gravimetric analysis inside a glove box containing a controlled partial pressure of water (500 ppmv/50 Pa at 25 °C) were used to determine the rate of the reaction versus particle size. The experiment…

Electronic aspects of the hydride transfer mechanism. III. Ab-initio analytical gradient studies of the cyclopropenyl-cation/LiH with 4-31G and 3-21+…

1988

Abstract Hydride transfer reaction have been studied in sections of the energy hypersurface of cyclopropenyl cation and lithium hydride at 4-31G and 3-21+G basis set levels. The diffuse component has enforced the idea of an hydride-ion as being the particle transferred in the ground electronic state. Calculations on the first triplet state suggest a transfer mechanism mediated by one-electron followed by an hydrogen atom transfer. The change of basis set does not affect structural and energetics aspects of the reacting system except for the transferred particle, where, for some molecular complexes, the electronic distribution can be described as a hydride ion cementing two electron defficie…

In situ measurement of elastic properties of PdH , PdD , and PdT

2003

Abstract The Young’s modulus E of palladium hydride PdH x , deuteride PdD x and tritide PdT x were measured for studying the effect of both hydrogen stoichiometry x and isotope nature. A special technique based on optical detection of flexural modes of a palladium cylindrical microcantilever was adapted to in situ measurements to guarantee the sample homogeneity during the hydriding process. A 10% decrease in E was found between pure polycrystalline palladium and hydride phases. The non linear dependence observed with the H content was discussed in terms of lattice expansion, phonons and electronic properties. Sensitivity of the technique enables to distinguish an isotope effect on E .

Study of the hydrolysis of lithium hydride

2015

The hydrolysis of LiH at room temperature and under low water vapor pressure (PH2O < 10 hPa) is investigated by thermogravimetry and FTIR spectroscopy with low sample mass. Then, to be closer to industrial conditions, hydrolysis of LiH is studied by manometry either in closed (adjustable PH2O) or open (constant PH2O) system using larger amounts of sample and heavy water. Products of the reaction are characterized by X-ray diffraction and FTIR spectroscopy. The first set of experiments show that the mechanism of hydrolysis starts with the formation of lithium oxide Li2O. Then, when the oxide layer is sufficiently thick, the hydrolysis reaction is followed by the formation of lithium hydroxid…

Lactones. Part 15: Synthesis of chiral spirolactones with a carane system—insect feeding deterrents

2002

Abstract Starting from (+)-3-carene 1 several spirolactones with carane backbone were synthesized. δ-Hydroxy-γ-lactone 5 was obtained by acidic lactonization of a γ,δ-epoxy ester. Iodolactone 8 and bromolactone 9 were products of iodolactonization of γ,δ-unsaturated acid 7 and bromolactonization of γ,δ-unsaturated ester 3 respectively. The halo lactones were subjected to reductive dehalogenation with tributyltin hydride and dehydrohalogenation with DBU. The structures of the lactones obtained were confirmed by X-ray analysis and spectral data.

Novel enantiomerically pure 2-amino-1,4-diols from chiral 4-hydroxymethyl-5-iodo-1,3-oxazin-2-ones

2004

Abstract Reduction of (4 S ,5 S ,6 S )-4-hydroxymethyl-5-iodo-6-methyl-1,3-oxazin-2-one 2a and (4 S ,5 S ,6 R )-4-hydroxymethyl-5-iodo-6-phenyl-1,3-oxazin-2-one 2b with tributyltin hydride in ethanol afforded 1,3-oxazin-2-one 3a and 1,3-oxazolidin-2-one 4b , respectively. Hydrolysis of 3a and 4b under basic conditions led to enantiomerically pure aminodiols 1a and 1b . Reduction of 2b in refluxing toluene led to the unexpected bicyclic tetrahydrofuro[3 a , d ]-1,3-oxazolidin-2-one 5 as the sole product.

Activation process of reversible Pd thin film hydrogen sensors

2013

Abstract Microcantilever-based thin film palladium hydrogen sensors have high selectivity and sensitivity. Reproducibility and accuracy of the sensor performance depend on the activation process of the polycrystalline palladium film deposited on the cantilever. When the hydrogen is in solid solution ( α -phase), the cantilever bending is mostly governed by the residual film stress induced by the swelling at the grain boundaries in the film. When the palladium hydride ( β -phase) starts to be formed, the cantilever undergoes a large deflection due to hydrogen absorption-induced film swelling (10% change in volume). Differences in the phase diagrams of the palladium hydride for two film thick…

New insight on the lithium hydride–water vapor reaction system

2018

Abstract The reaction of lithium hydride (LiH) powder with pure water vapor (H2O and D2O) was studied by thermogravimetry and in situ infrared spectroscopy at 298 K over a large pressure range. The mean particle size of LiH is around 27 μm. At very low pressure, the hydrolysis starts with the formation of lithium oxide (Li2O). Then, both Li2O and lithium hydroxide (LiOH) are formed on increasing pressure, thus, creating a Li2O/LiOH bilayer. The reaction takes place through the consumption of LiH and the formation of Li2O at the LiH/Li2O interface and through the consumption of Li2O and the formation of LiOH at the Li2O/LiOH interface. Above 10 hPa, only the monohydrate LiOH·H2O is formed. T…
