Heats of formation of clathrate compounds of β-quinol with argon, oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen chloride, hydrogen bromide, formic acid and methanol have been determined calorimetrically. For the argon and oxygen compounds, the heats of formation were determined for samples of widely differing composition, and they vary linearly with the fraction of available spaces filled. Using the energy difference between α- and β-quinol obtained directly or by extrapolation of the measurements on the argon and oxygen compounds, the energies of interaction of the enclosed molecules with the β-quinol cage have been determined. Their values are interpreted in terms of the polarizabilities of the enclosed molecules and the number of intermolecular contacts occurring. The free energies of formation, and the colours of the sulphur dioxide and oxygen clathrate compounds are also discussed briefly.

AbstractSol-gel processing methods were employed to coat thin, porous films of titania on metal plates, specifically on aluminum, 304 stainless steel, and titanium. After coating and firing, all of these materials displayed photocatalytic activity when tested with a solution of formic acid that contained dissolved sodium chloride. However, only the titanium-supported photoelectrodes were stable with repeated use. Activities of these titaniumsupported photoelectrodes increased, often by factors of two to three, when positive potentials were applied across the titania coatings. Electrode activities increased when multiple coatings of titania were applied to the electrodes, although electrode stability was problematic when multiple coatings were deposited. Photoelectrocatalytic activities were not inhibited significantly by the presence of sodium chloride in the test solutions, while copper could be deposited on platinum cathodes when the test solutions contained dissolved copper in addition to sodium chloride and formic acid.

Superconductors (SCs), such as gadolinium barium copper oxide, are brittle ceramics which are very difficult to machine conventionally due to the easy propagation of cracks. The cracks formed during conventional machining destroy the superconductive properties of the material. As a result a new method to machine ceramic SCs is needed. In this paper, polarization experiments were conducted in various nonaqueous salt electrolytes to determine whether electrochemical machining (ECM) is a suitable method for machining gadolinium barium copper oxide with silver inclusions (GdBCO-Ag) for the first time. Sodium chloride in formic acid proved to be the best electrolyte for this application with higher dissolution rates and achieving a better surface finish. It was noted that GdBCO-Ag dissolved at higher rates in NaCl in formic acid than in other salt-solvent systems.
