Optimal hydrogen storage in sodium substituted lithium fullerides
2017
Through the substitution of Li with Na in Li6C60, we synthesized a series of mixed alkali cluster intercalated fullerides, NaxLi6−xC60. These compounds share lattices of Na6C60 and Li6C60 with a cubic parameter linearly dependent on x. H2 absorption and desorption were studied by means of charge/discharge kinetic measurements and coupled calorimetric–manometric evaluation. By varying the stoichiometry, we found the best compromise among the absorption rate, temperature and amount of hydrogen for x = 0.5 and 1. Small concentrations of Na substituted to Li significantly lower the absorption temperature of Li6C60, improving the hydrogenation capacity, the kinetics, and the dehydrogenation enth…
Strong thermal nonequilibrium in hypersonic CO and CH4 probed by CRDS
2015
A new experimental setup coupling a High Enthalpy Source (HES) reaching 2000 K to a cw-cavity ring-down spectrometer has been developed to investigate rotationally cold hot bands of polyatomic molecules in the [1.5, 1.7] μm region. The rotational and vibrational molecular degrees of freedom are strongly decoupled in the hypersonic expansion produced by the HES and probed by cavity ring-down spectroscopy. Carbon monoxide has been used as a first test molecule to validate the experimental approach. Its expansion in argon led to rotational and vibrational temperatures of 6.7 ± 0.8 K and 2006 ± 476 K, respectively. The tetradecad polyad of methane (1.67 μm) was investigated under similar condit…
Synthesis, crystal structure and magnetic properties of the spin crossover system [Fe(pq)3]2+
2008
Abstract Three new compounds formulated (ClO4)2[Fe(pq)3] (1), (BF4)2[Fe(pq)3] · EtOH (2) and {(ClO4)[MnCr(C2O4)3][Fe(pq)2(H2O)2]} (3), where pq is 2,2′-pyridylquinoline, have been synthesised and characterised. Despite the different crystal packing exhibited by 1 and 2, the cationic species [Fe(pq)3]2+ are structurally quite similar. At 293 K, the Fe–N bond lengths are characteristic of the iron(II) in the high-spin state. In contrast to 1, 2 undergoes a continuous spin transition. Indeed, at 95 K its structure experiences a noticeable change in the Fe–N bonds and angles, i.e. the Fe–N bonds shorten by 0.194 A on the average. The magnetic behaviour confirms that 1 is fully high-spin in the …
The hydration enthalpies of Md3+ and Lr3+
1988
Lawrencium (3-min 260Lr) and lighter actinides were produced in the bombardment of a 249Bk target with 18O ions and loaded onto a cation exchange column in 0.05 M α-hydroxyisobutyrate solution at pH=4.85, together with the radioactive lanthanide tracers 166Ho, 171Er and 171Tm. In elutions with 0.12 M α=hydroxyisobutyrate solution (pH=4.85), trivalent Lr was eluted exactly together with the Er tracer and Md was eluted close to Ho. Lr elutes much later than expected based on the known elution positions of the lighter actinides and the expected analogy to the elution positions of the homologous lanthanides. From the measured elution positions, ionic radii were calculated for Lr3+ and Md3+. Sem…

Cyclooctadienine — hoch gespannte C 8 H 8 ‐Kohlenwasserstoffe
1985
Mit Hilfe der MNDO-Methode werden die energiearmsten Konformationen der vier strukturisomeren Cyclooctadienine 1–4 berechnet. Aus ihren Bildungswarmen ΔHf konnen durch Bezug zu den Cyclooctatrienen 5 und 6 die geometrischen Ringspannungen Eg abgeschatzt werden. Als experimentelle Sonde fur die Ringspannung dienen die UV-, IR (Raman)- und 13C-NMR-Spektren.

Aqueous solution chemistry of alkyltin(IV) compounds for speciation studies in biological fluids and natural waters
2012
Abstract Organotin(IV) cations behave as Lewis acids of different strength depending on the charge, according to the following acidity scale: RSn3+ > R2Sn2+ > R3Sn+. For this reason they can react with Lewis bases containing –O, –N, –S donor groups to form complex species of different stability. Complex formation of organotin(IV) moieties with a great number of inorganic and organic ligands in aqueous solution is reviewed here in the light of their environmental and biological impact. To this end, complex species formation was considered in different ionic media and at different ionic strengths, with reference to the composition of natural waters and biological fluids. In particular, the in…
Thermodynamics of transfer of polar additives from the aqueous to the dodecylsurfactant micellar phases
1990
The enthalpies of transfer from water to aqueous surfactant solutions, ΔH(W→W+S), of polar additives have been determined as a function of the surfactant concentration at fixed additive concentration. The surfactants used are sodium dodecylsulfate (NaDS), dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide and dodecyldimethylamine oxide (DDAO). The additives used are iso-butanol t-butanol, butoxyethanol, phenol, benzene, tributylphosphine oxide (TBPO), octyldimethylphosphine oxide (ODPO), octydimethylamine oxide (ODAO), DDAO and NaDS. A maximum was observed in the plots of ΔH(W→W+S) vs. fsms curves for ODPO and ODAO in NaDS while a small minimum was observed for TBPO. The experimental data are rationalized on…
Medium enthalpy geothermal systems in carbonate reservoirs, the Western Sicily example.
2013
The multidisciplinary and integrated review of existing data (mainly acquired during oil exploration), specifically reread for geothermal purposes, and the integration with new data acquired in particular key areas, such as the Mazara Del Vallo site in the southern part of western Sicily, allowed us to better understand this -regional scale- medium-enthalpy geothermal system (with measured temperatures up to 100 °C), to reconstruct the modalities and peculiarities of fluids circulation, and to evaluate the geothermal potentialities of western Sicily. We suggest that these findings could be taken as exemplificative of the behavior of low-to medium enthalpy geothermal systems hosted in carbon…
Comparison of two melting range analysis methods with lactitol monohydrate
2001
Abstract In pharmacopoeia, the melting point is determined by a standard method with a melting point instrument. The melting point can also be determined with differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). In this study, the standard method and DSC method are compared for determining the melting range of lactitol monohydrate. The effect of initial temperature, grinding, and drying on the melting range of different lactitol monohydrate samples was studied by a melting point instrument. The melting point and melting enthalpy of the stable form of lactitol monohydrate was identified by DSC. The statistical analysis of the results is based on a t-test. All studied variables had a small effect on the …
