The kinetics have been studied of reactions of the cluster Ru3(CO)11 (P(OEt)3) with a variety of P- and As-donor nucleophiles, L, in alkane solution. Reactions proceed according to the rate equation: kobsd = k1 + k2 [L] and activation parameters for the two paths have been obtained. When combined with activation parameters for Ru3(CO)12 and some other Ru3(CO)11L′ clusters the values of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are found to lie on a good isokinetic plot. The changes in the activation parameters are consistent with major and systematic changes in the nature of the Ru3(CO)10L′ moieties left after CO dissociation.Analysis of the dependence of log k2 on the electronic and steric nature of the various nucleophiles leads to the derivation of electronic and steric profiles that are characteristic of the cluster, together with values for the intrinsic or standard susceptibility of the cluster towards nucleophilic attack. These kinetic characteristics are compared with those similarly derived for Ru3(CO)12. Keywords: metal carbonyls, ruthenium, clusters, kinetics, mechanisms.

The electron irradiation of silicate glasses containing metal cations produces various types of phase separation and decomposition which includes oxygen bubble formation at intermediate temperatures figure I. The kinetics of bubble formation are too rapid to be accounted for by oxygen diffusion but the behavior is consistent with a cation diffusion mechanism if the amount of oxygen in the bubble is not significantly different from that in the same volume of silicate glass. The formation of oxygen bubbles is often accompanied by precipitation of crystalline phases and/or amorphous phase decomposition in the regions between the bubbles and the detection of differences in oxygen concentration between the bubble and matrix by electron energy loss spectroscopy cannot be discerned (figure 2) even when the bubble occupies the majority of the foil depth.The oxygen bubbles are stable, even in the thin foils, months after irradiation and if van der Waals behavior of the interior gas is assumed an oxygen pressure of about 4000 atmospheres must be sustained for a 100 bubble if the surface tension with the glass matrix is to balance against it at intermediate temperatures.

Fuel particles for the High-Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactor (HTGR) contain a layer of pyrolytic silicon carbide to act as a miniature pressure vessel and primary fission product barrier. Optimization of the SiC with respect to fuel performance involves four areas of study: (a) characterization of as-deposited SiC coatings; (b) thermodynamics and kinetics of chemical reactions between SiC and fission products; (c) irradiation behavior of SiC in the absence of fission products; and (d) combined effects of irradiation and fission products. This paper reports the behavior of SiC deposited on inert microspheres and irradiated to fast neutron fluences typical of HTGR fuel at end-of-life.

Ordered-alpha titanium alloys having a DO19 type structure have good potential for high temperature (600°C) applications, due to the thermal stability of the ordered phase and the inherent resistance to recrystallization of these alloys. Five different Ti-Al-Ga alloys consisting of equal atomic percents of aluminum and gallium solute additions up to the stoichiometric composition, Ti3(Al, Ga), were used to study the growth kinetics of the ordered phase and the nature of its interface.The alloys were homogenized in the beta region in a vacuum of about 5×10-7 torr, furnace cooled; reheated in air to 50°C below the alpha transus for hot working. The alloys were subsequently acid cleaned, annealed in vacuo, and cold rolled to about. 050 inch prior to additional homogenization
