The kinetic and temperature dependencies of the conversion of hexane to gas and liquid oxide products on the surface of the nano-Al2O3 catalyst in the homo and hetero phase were investigated and compared. The rate of hexane conversion in air in different phases at temperature ∆T = 180–2000 C was determined ((a) 10–15% from the homo phase in the hetero phase; (b) thermal 12–17%; (c) radiation-thermal 14–22%). It is shown that the excess electron density formed in radiation defects migrates from the surface to the adsorbents, thereby weakening the intramolecular chemical bonds of the adsorbent and accelerating the decomposition processes investigated.

The physical meaning of the so-called effective pairs which have been introduced recently within the formalism of pair population analysis is discussed using the analysis of conditional probabilities of electron density distribution for electron 1 with the reference electron fixed in a certain point 2. It is demonstrated that from the point of view of the mutual coupling of electron motions, the effective pairs behave analogously to singlet pairs. Based on this finding, effective pairs can be interpreted as the fraction of singlet pairs that is directly involved in bonding.

The restricted rotation of chemical bonds may lead to the formation of stable, conformationally chiral molecules. While the asymmetry in chiral molecules is generally observed in the presence of one or more stereocenters, asymmetry exhibited by conformational chirality in compounds lacking stereocenters, called atropisomerism, depends on structural and temperature factors that are still not fully understood. This atropisomerism is observed in natural diarylether heptanoids where the length of the intramolecular tether constrains the compounds to isolable enantiomers at room temperature. In this work, we examine the impact tether length has on the activation free energies to isomerization of a diarylether cyclophane substructure with a tether ranging from 6 to 14 carbons. Racemization activation energies are observed to decay from 48 kcal/mol for a 7-carbon tether to 9.2 kcal/mol for a 14-carbon tether. Synthetic efforts to experimentally test these constraints are also presented. This work will likely guide the design and synthesis of novel asymmetric cyclophanes that will be of interest in the catalysis community given the importance of atropisomeric ligands in the field of asymmetric catalysis.

The effect of 60Co gamma radiation on the intensity of the reemitted light at the exit from WLS-fibers of Y-11 M and O-2 M type WLS fibers and the subsequent restoration of the characteristics of irradiated fibers after exposure to room temperature are investigated. Irradiation of a low dose rate (0.048 Mrad / h) to a dose of 1 Mrad leads to a slight decrease in the intensity of the reemitted light at the exit of both types of fibers, and with a further increase in the dose, the curve does not change. When irradiated with a dose rate of 0.158 Mrad / h, the characteristics of both types of fibers deteriorate significantly. When the irradiated samples are held at room temperature, fiber characteristics are restored.

Corrosion by liquid oxides is one of the most severe modes of degradations which limit the lifetime of the refractory linings. The study of the microstructures of corroded refractories provides essential information. However, the interpretation of the microscopic observations is difficult : - The refractories are multi-component and heterogeneous ceramics, - The microscopic observations are carried out at room temperature. They are not representative of the mineral and vitreous phases existing at high temperature, - During cooling, new solid phases appear by crystallization of liquid oxides. The composition of the vitreous phases also evolves with the temperature. Consequently, the information obtained is often limited. In this paper , we will present a method to analyse and interpret the microstructures of refractories after use. The concept of local thermodynamic equilibrium and the use of the phase rule make it possible to interpret the microstructures of corroded refractories, to explain the observed mineral zonation and to quantify the composition of the liquid phase at high temperature from chemical profiles established by S.E.M. Experimental data from corrosion of MgO-C, Al2O3-MgO and high alumina refractories will illustrate and validate this theoretical approach.

Crystal diffraction data of heart fatty acid binding protein (H-FABP) in complex with oleic acid were measured at room temperature with high-resolution X-ray and neutron protein crystallography (0.98 and 1.90 Å resolution, respectively). These data provided very detailed information about the cluster of water molecules and the bound oleic acid in the H-FABP large internal cavity. The jointly refined X-ray/neutron structure of H-FABP was complemented by a transferred multipolar electron-density distribution using the parameters of the ELMAMII library. The resulting electron density allowed a precise determination of the electrostatic potential in the fatty acid (FA) binding pocket. Bader's quantum theory of atoms in molecules was then used to study interactions involving the internal water molecules, the FA and the protein. This approach showed H...H contacts of the FA with highly conserved hydrophobic residues known to play a role in the stabilization of long-chain FAs in the binding cavity. The determination of water hydrogen (deuterium) positions allowed the analysis of the orientation and electrostatic properties of the water molecules in the very ordered cluster. As a result, a significant alignment of the permanent dipoles of the water molecules with the protein electrostatic field was observed. This can be related to the dielectric properties of hydration layers around proteins, where the shielding of electrostatic interactions depends directly on the rotational degrees of freedom of the water molecules in the interface.

ABSTRACTFormation and electronic structure of the Mn/GaAs(100) interface grown at room temperature are studied by photoemission. The growth at early stage is identified to be in two-dimensional mode. The chemical reaction and the interface diffusion happened between Mn and GaAs are explored in some details. A ferromagnetic phase of Mn overlayer at early stage is deduced from the change of electron density of states near the Fermi edge.

This paper examines the relative permittivity of irradiated and non-irradiated crude oil samples in the frequency range 0.1 – 100.0MHz and room temperature regulated at 25 ± 1oC. Samples of crude oil of mean specific gravity 0.780 ± 0.015 were irradiated for periods of two, four, six, eight and ten months respectively using a gamma radiation source (Cobalt 60) at a dose rate of 0.65mSv per hour. Dielectric measurements were made by using a Boonton RX meter type 250A admittance bridge manufactured by central research Laboratories, Inc, Red, Wing, Minnesota. Analysis of the resulting dielectric data revealed that both the irradiated and non-irradiated samples exhibited dielectric dispersion over the frequency range investigated. However, the relative permittivity values of the irradiated samples were found to be higher than those of the non-irradiated sample. This difference is understandable as it can be attributed to the ionization of atoms and weakening of molecular bonds in the irradiated samples. The increase in relative permittivity for the irradiated samples was observed to be time dependent as the longer the time of irradiation of sample the higher the value of its relative permittivity. Also, in this study, it was observed that the non-irradiated crude oil sample has longer relaxation time than the irradiated ones. The relaxation time decreases gradually with increasing irradiation time. This has physical significance on the basis of the molecular theory of matter and the fact that relaxation time is inversely proportional to relaxation frequency. These results are comparable with the work of other researchers for which similar trends have been observed.
