And Behavior

Free, unsolvated phenylium ions formed by the spontaneous decay of 1,4-ditritiobenzene have been allowed to react with gaseous cyclic ethers (oxirane, propene oxide, and oxetane) and acetaldehyde in the pressure range 30–250 Torr and in the presence of a thermal radical scavenger (O2, 4 Torr). The effects of a gaseous base (NMe3, 20 Torr) and of an energy moderator (He, 630–720 Torr) were also investigated. Phenylium ion confirms its considerable site selectivity, demonstrated by the distinct preference for the n-type center of the substrate, although appreciable insertion into the carbocyclic structure of propene oxide and oxetane is observed as well. The stability features of the ionic intermediates from addition of phenylium ion to selected substrates have been evaluated as well as their fragmentation and isomerization mechanisms. The behavior of gaseous phenylium ion toward cyclic ethers, in particular its ability to formally abstract an oxygen atom from the ether to give the phenoxenium ion, a reaction first observed in the present study, is discussed and compared with previous mechanistic investigations carried out in the gas phase and in solution.

Abstract The elastic and ultrasonic properties have been evaluated at room temperature between the pressure 0.6 and 10.4 GPa for hexagonal closed packed (hcp) hafnium (Hf) metal. The Lennard-Jones potential model has been used to compute the second and third order elastic constants for Hf. The elastic constants have been utilized to calculate the mechanical constants such as Young’s modulus, bulk modulus, shear modulus, Poisson’s ratio, and Zener anisotropy factor for finding the stability and durability of hcp hafnium metal within the chosen pressure range. The second order elastic constants were also used to compute the ultrasonic velocities along unique axis at different angles for the given pressure range. Further thermophysical properties such as specific heat per unit volume and energy density have been estimated at different pressures. Additionally, ultrasonic Grüneisen parameters and acoustic coupling constants have been found out at room temperature. Finally, the ultrasonic attenuation due to phonon–phonon interaction and thermoelastic mechanisms has been investigated for the chosen hafnium metal. The obtained results have been discussed in correlation with available findings for similar types of hcp metals.

The Individual

Some basic thermodynamic parameters such as Gibbs free energies, enthalpies of reactions and equilibrium compositions of products from the pyrolysis and partial oxidation of methane to higher hydrocarbons in the gas phase have been determined within a consistent framework for the temperature range 800-1500 K and the pressure range 0.1-3 MPa , by using the CSIRO-SGTE THERMODATA system. It has been established that the pyrolysis of methane to higher hydrocarbons, e.g. acetylene, ethylene, ethane, prop-1-ene, propane, benzene, toluene, naphthalene, 1-methylnaphthalene and 2-methylnaphthalene, considered as separate reactions, is a highly endothermic reaction with the Gibbs free energies for the individual reactions being positive until 1300 K. The aromatics are thermodynamically most favoured with the equilibrium yields increasing with temperature. Addition of O2 lowers the heats of synthesis and the free energies for methane conversion but no enhancement in the equilibrium yields of hydrocarbons is observed. When solid carbon is allowed, it is the dominant product in all cases with the equilibrium yields for all hydrocarbons becoming negligible. Increasing the pressure at a particular temperature has more effect on the lowering of the equilibrium conversion of methane than on the suppression of solid carbon. Such data are valuable for understanding the conversion limits for methane into higher hydrocarbons.

Oxygen radicals are defined as those molecules that contain an oxygen atom with an unpaired, nonbonding electron (e.g., HO·). Although triplet dioxygen (·O2·) and superoxide ion (O2 - ·) come under this definition, their nonradical chemistry dominates their reactivity, which is discussed in Chapters 6 (·O2·) and 7 (O2-·). The hydroxyl radical (HO·) is the most reactive member of the family of oxygen radicals [HO·, RO·, ·O·, HOO·, ROO·, and RC(O)O·], and is the focus of most oxygen radical research. In the gas phase the dramatic example of oxygen radical reactivity with hydrocarbon substrates is combustion, which is initiated by HO· (or RO· or MO·) and propagated by ·O2· and ·O·.

Rearrangement Reaction

Sigmatropic rearrangement reaction of cycloprop-2-en-1-ol and its fluorine derivatives has been studied theoretically in gas phase and its energy barrier has been calculated. Nucleus-independent chemical shift (NICS) shows sigmatropic rearrangement of cycloprop-2-en-1-ol is pericyclic in nature whereas fluorine derivatives show pseudopericyclic and pericyclic nature. Substitution of fluorine atom at ring is found to increase the energy barrier for –OH migration, while substitution at oxygen atom reduces the barrier. To know the involvement of lone pair of electrons during the reaction, lone pair electron present on oxygen atom is locked by hydrogen bonding. CR-CCSD(T)/6-311+G** levels are used to study the reactions more accurately.

The Stability

Nitrogen-doped activated carbon (N-AC) obtained through the thermal treatment of a mixture of HNO3-pretreated activated carbon (AC) and urea under N2 atmosphere at 600 °C was used as the carrier of Pd catalyst for both liquid-phase hydrodechlorination of 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) and gas-phase hydrodechlorination of chloropentafluoroethane (R-115). The effects of nitrogen doping on the dispersion and stability of Pd, atomic ratio of Pd/Pd2+ on the surface of the catalyzer, the catalyst’s hydrodechlorination activity, as well as the stability of N species in two different reaction systems were investigated. Our results suggest that, despite no improvement in the dispersion of Pd, nitrogen doping may significantly raise the atomic ratio of Pd/Pd2+ on the catalyst surface, with a value of 1.2 on Pd/AC but 2.2 on Pd/N-AC. Three types of N species, namely graphitic, pyridinic, and pyrrolic nitrogen, were observed on the surface of Pd/N-AC, and graphitic nitrogen was stable in both liquid-phase hydrodechlorination of 2,4-DCP and gas-phase hydrodechlorination of R-115, with pyridinic and pyrrolic nitrogen being unstable during gas-phase hydrodechlorination of R-115. As a result, the average size of Pd nanocrystals on Pd/N-AC was almost kept unchanged after liquid-phase hydrodechlorination of 2,4-DCP, whereas crystal growth of Pd was clearly observed on Pd/N-AC after gas-phase hydrodechlorination of R-115. The activity test revealed that Pd/N-AC exhibited a much better performance than Pd/AC in liquid-phase hydrodechlorination of 2,4-DCP, probably due to the enhanced stability of Pd exposed to the environment resulting from nitrogen doping as suggested by the higher atomic ratio of Pd/Pd2+ on the catalyst surface. In the gas-phase hydrodechlorination of R-115, however, a more rapid deactivation phenomenon occurred on Pd/N-AC than on Pd/AC despite a higher activity initially observed on Pd/N-AC, hinting that the stability of pyridinic and pyrrolic nitrogen plays an important role in the determination of catalytic performance of Pd/N-AC.
