Water impurity is the essential factor of reducing the insulation performance of transformer oil, which directly determines the operating safety and life of a transformer. Molecular dynamics simulations and first-principles electronic-structure calculations are employed to study the diffusion behavior of water molecules and the electrical breakdown mechanism of transformer oil containing water impurities. The molecular dynamics of an oil-water micro-system model demonstrates that the increase of aging acid concentration will exponentially expedite thermal diffusion of water molecules. Density of states (DOS) for a local region model of transformer oil containing water molecules indicates that water molecules can introduce unoccupied localized electron-states with energy levels close to the conduction band minimum of transformer oil, which makes water molecules capable of capturing electrons and transforming them into water ions during thermal diffusion. Subsequently, under a high electric field, water ions collide and impact on oil molecules to break the molecular chain of transformer oil, engendering carbonized components that introduce a conduction electronic-band in the band-gap of oil molecules as a manifestation of forming a conductive region in transformer oil. The conduction channel composed of carbonized components will be eventually formed, connecting two electrodes, with the carbonized components developing rapidly under the impact of water ions, based on which a large number of electron carriers will be produced similar to “avalanche” discharge, leading to an electrical breakdown of transformer oil insulation. The water impurity in oil, as the key factor for forming the carbonized conducting channel, initiates the electric breakdown process of transformer oil, which is dominated by thermal diffusion of water molecules. The increase of aging acid concentration will significantly promote the thermal diffusion of water impurities and the formation of an initial conducting channel, accounting for the degradation in dielectric strength of insulating oil containing water impurities after long-term operation of the transformer.

Steady State Solutions

A simple one-dimensional model is described in which thermoelastic contact conditions give rise to nonuniqueness of solution. The stability of the various steady-state solutions discovered is investigated using a perturbation method. The results can be expressed in terms of the minimization of a certain energy function, but the authors have so far been unable to justify the use of such a function from first principles in view of the nonconservative nature of the system.

Hydroiodic Acid

The reaction of bipyridine with hydroiodic acid in the presence of iodine gave two new polyiodide-containing salts best described as 4,4´-bipyridinium bis(triiodide), C10H10N2[I3]2, 1, and bis(4,4´-bipyridinium) diiodide bis(triiodide) tris(diiodine) solvate dihydrate, (C10H10N2)2I2[I3]2 · 3 I2 ·2H2O, 2. Both compounds have been structurally characterized by crystallographic and spectroscopic methods (Raman and IR). Compound 1 is composed of I3 − anions forming one-dimensional polymers connected by interionic halogen bonds. These chains run along [101] with one crystallographically independent triiodide anion aligned and the other triiodide anion perpendicular to the chain direction. There are no classical hydrogen bonds present in 1. The structure of 2 consists of a complex I144− anion, 4,4´-bipyridinium dications and hydrogen-bonded water molecules in the ratio of 1 : 2 : 2. The I144− polyiodide anion is best described as an adduct of two iodide and two triiodide anions and three diiodine molecules. Two 4,4´-bipyridinium cations and two water molecules form a cyclic dimer through N-H· · ·O hydrogen bonds. Only weak hydrogen bonding is found between these cyclic dimers and the polyiodide anions.

Two alkaline earth–tetrazole compounds, namelycatena-poly[[[triaquamagnesium(II)]-μ-5,5′-(azanediyl)ditetrazolato-κ3N1,N1′:N5] hemi{bis[μ-5,5′-(azanediyl)ditetrazolato-κ3N1,N1′:N2]bis[triaquamagnesium(II)]} monohydrate], {[Mg(C2HN9)(H2O)3][Mg2(C2HN9)2(H2O)6]0.5·H2O}n, (I), and bis[5-(pyrazin-2-yl)tetrazolate] hexaaquamagnesium(II), (C5H3N6)[Mg(H2O)6], (II), have been prepared under hydrothermal conditions. Compound (I) is a mixed dimer–polymer based on magnesium ion centres and can be regarded as the first example of a magnesium–tetrazolate polymer in the crystalline form. The structure shows a complex three-dimensional hydrogen-bonded network that involves magnesium–tetrazolate dimers, solvent water molecules and one-dimensional magnesium–tetrazolate polymeric chains. The intrinsic cohesion in the polymer chains is ensured by N—H...N hydrogen bonds, which formR22(7) rings, thus reinforcing the propagation of the polymer chain along theaaxis. The crystal structure of magnesium tetrazole salt (II) reveals a mixed ribbon of hydrogen-bonded rings, of typesR22(7),R22(9) andR24(10), running along thecaxis, which are linked byR24(16) rings, generating a 4,8-cflunet.

A 6-chloronicotinate (6-Clnic) salt of a one-dimensional cationic nickel(II) coordination polymer with 4,4′-bipyridine (4,4′-bpy), namely, catena-poly[[[tetraaquanickel(II)]-μ-4,4′-bipyridine-κ2 N:N′] bis(6-chloronicotinate) tetrahydrate], {[Ni(C10H8N2)(H2O)4](C6H3ClNO2)2·4H2O} n or {[Ni(4,4′-bpy)(H2O)4](6-Clnic)2·4H2O} n , (1), was prepared by the reaction of nickel(II) sulfate heptahydrate, 6-chloronicotinic acid and 4,4′-bipyridine in a mixture of water and ethanol. The molecular structure of 1 comprises a one-dimensional polymeric {[Ni(4,4′-bpy)(H2O)4]2+} n cation, two 6-chloronicotinate anions and four water molecules of crystallization per repeating polymeric unit. The nickel(II) ion in the polymeric cation is octahedrally coordinated by four water molecule O atoms and by two 4,4′-bipyridine N atoms in the trans position. The 4,4′-bipyridine ligands act as bridges and, thus, connect the symmetry-related nickel(II) ions into an infinite one-dimensional polymeric chain extending along the b-axis direction. In the extended structure of 1, the polymeric chains of {[Ni(4,4′-bpy)(H2O)4]2+} n , the 6-chloronicotinate anions and the water molecules of crystallization are assembled into an infinite three-dimensional hydrogen-bonded network via strong O—H...O and O—H...N hydrogen bonds, leading to the formation of the representative hydrogen-bonded ring motifs: tetrameric R 2 4(8) and R 4 4(10) loops, a dimeric R 2 2(8) loop and a pentameric R 4 5(16) loop.
