Periodic behaviour in heterogeneous chemical reactions

1992

Abstract The authors present an analytical and numerical analysis for a solid-gas oxidation process represented by a set of coupled reaction rates equations. The equations describe the time evolution of four elementary process that govern the overall heterogeneous kinetics. The description formation of a new oxide unit considers: (1) an internal interface (oxide-metal) reaction by which an activated complex is formed; (2) the dissolution of the complex produce a chemical element σ; (3) the diffusion of σ through the oxide layer; and (4) an external interface (oxide-gas) reaction. The results reported here delinate the parameter region where chemical oscillations are present.

A laboratory study on the scavenging of SO2 by snow crystals

1990

Abstract A laboratory experiment is described where the uptake of SO2 by dendritic snow crystals was studied. In a first experimental series the uptake of SO2 was investigated during the growth of the snow crystals from water vapor with and without the presence of H2O2 in the air. In a second series of experiments we studied the uptake of SO2 by snow crystals which had completed their growth. The results of our experiments showed that under both conditions SO2 became scavenged by snow crystals. The uptake of SO2 was particularly pronounced during the growth of the snow crystals, and at temperatures close to 0°C where a quasi-liquid layer exists at the surface of ice. As expected, the SO2 up…

Chlorodicyclopentadienyloxoniobium(V) complexes revisited: The origin of the asymmetry in the 1H- and 13C-NMR spectra, X-ray crystal structures and a…

2000

Abstract 1H- and 13C-NMR spectra of chlorodicyclopentadienyloxoniobium(V) complex I and its four 1,1′-dialkyl substituted derivatives II–V have been recorded and assigned based on DQF 1H,1H-COSY and PFG 1H,13C-HMQC and HMBC experiments. Non-equivalences of all cyclopentadienyl protons and carbons in II–V (as reflected by their different 1H- and 13C-NMR chemical shifts) are explained by synchronous and out-of-phase rotations of the substituted cyclopentadienyl rings. A non-equivalence of the methyls in III (1,1′-di-isopropyl) is explained by a detailed inspection of the rotamers of the isopropyl groups. The X-ray structural data show that III and IV (1-methyl-1′-tert-butyl) crystallize in th…

EDXRF and TXRF analysis of elemental size distributions and environmental mobility of airborne particles in the city of Riga, Latvia

2004

Airborne particles were investigated in the central part of Riga during October 2000. Mass, black carbon and elemental concentrations of airborne particles were measured on Teflon filters from a dichotomous impactor, which samples fine (<2.5 µm) and coarse (2.5‐10 µm) fractions of particles. In order to obtain more detailed information on the size distributions of different elements, a seven-stage Batelle cascade impactor was used, in which quartz plates treated with silicone grease were utilized as backing for the different stages. Total reflection x-ray fluorescence (TXRF) and energy-dispersive x-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) spectrometry were used for elemental analysis on the quartz plates a…

Cr(VI) sorption by intact and dehydrated Candida utilis cells: differences in mechanisms

2001

The Cr(VI) sorption kinetics by intact and dehydrated Candida utilis cells were studied. Yeast dehydration led to enhanced Cr(VI) sorption activity by cells during the first 15–20 min of rehydration. In experiments with K2Cr2O7 as a chromium source, [Cr2O7]2− was converted into [CrO4]2− during incubation with dehydrated biomass. An effect of the considerably enhanced Cr(VI) sorption activity by dehydrated cells in the buffered media at pH≈8.0 can serve as another confirmation of the different sorption mechanisms of intact and dehydrated C.utilis cells. This effect was not revealed in water solution at pH 8.0. This phenomenon will be studied in further investigations.

Chemical Reactivity in AOT Microemulsions:  Kinetics of Water Replacement in a Square-Planar Palladium(II) Aquo Complex by Monoalkylthioureas

1998

The kinetics of water replacement in the cationic palladium(II) aquo complex [Pd(Et4dien)(H2O)]2+, where Et4dien = Et2N(CH2)2NH(CH2)2NEt2, by thiourea, methylthiourea, and ethylthiourea have been studied at 25.0 °C in heptane−AOT−water microemulsion over a wide range of the molar ratio R (=[H2O]/[AOT]) at the constant surfactant concentration of 0.13 mol dm-3. The reaction rates are significantly higher in microemulsions than in bulk water and decrease rapidly as the parameter R increases. The kinetic data, interpreted quantitatively by applying the pseudophase model to the microemulsion, indicate that there is a weak partitioning of the nucleophiles between the water core and the AOT inter…

Photophysical Properties of Oligo(phenylene ethynylene) Iridium(III) Complexes Functionalized with Metal-Anchoring Groups

2016

[EN] The electrochemical and photophysical properties of a family of conjugated ligands and their iridium(III) cyclometallated complexes are described. They consist of a series of monocationic Ir-III bis-2-phenylpyridine complexes with p-phenylethynyl-1,10-phenanthroline ligands of different length. The structure of these ligands includes terminal acetylthiol or pyridine groups, which can provide good electrical contacts between metal electrodes. Cyclic voltammetry, absorption and emission spectroscopy, laser flash photolysis and density functional theory calculations reveal that the high conjugation of the diimine ligand affords small energy gaps between the frontier orbitals. Nevertheless…

Synthesis, X-ray crystal structure, NMR characterization and theoretical calculations on [Cp2Ta(η2-H2)(CO)]+, the first thermally stable group 5 dihy…

2001

Protonation of Cp2TaH(CO) (Cp  =  C5H5, 1a; C5H4But, 1b) by HBF4·Et2O at −78 °C in CH2Cl2 affords [Cp2TaH2(CO)]BF4 (2, 3) as mixtures of 2 isomers. The minor ones (2a, 2b) contain the known trans-dihydride [Cp2TaH2(CO)]+ cations whereas the major ones (3a, 3b) are [Cp2Ta(η2-H2)(CO)]BF4, the first group 5 dihydrogen complexes. The crystal structure of the analogous complex 3a·BArf4 recorded at 120 K confirms the presence of the coordinated dihydrogen ligand, which displays an H–H separation of 1.09(2) A in agreement with distances calculated from NMR data. Protonation of Cp2TaH2(SiMe2Ph) by (Et2O)2 ·HBArf4 does not lead to an analogous silane derivative but to the new dinuclear complex [(Cp2…
