The CaO-SiO2-MgO-5Al2O3-30FeO five (oxide) components slag system was studied by varying the magnesium oxide (MgO) content (5.7–13.6 wt.%.% MgO) and keeping the basicity constant). The data were analyzed using the FactSage software. It was observed that the liquid network structure and precipitation of solid particles had an impact on high-temperature viscosity and foaming life. Under the same basicity (mass ratio CaO/SiO2 = 1.5) and at a temperature of 1500 °C, the MgO content was varied as 5.7 wt.%, 7.4 wt.%, 9.6 wt.%, 11.5 wt.%, and 13.6 wt.% in A0~A5. The solid fractions of different samples were estimated with FactSage software and found to be A0–A2 (0 wt.%), A3 (2.77 wt.%), A4 (6.92 wt.%), A5 (11.7 wt.%). The viscosities of A0–A5 measured at 1500 ·C were 22, 47, 40, 76, 363, and 1088 mPa×s, respectively, and the foaming life was 2.0 min, 7.7 min, 6.2 min, 13.4 min, 16.8 min, and 18.0 min, respectively. It was found that A5 exhibits the best effective foaming life under these environmental conditions because it can ex-hibit a double foaming effect formed by the precipitation of solid particles. The Si-O-Si network in liquid slag also contributed to foaming life, when there was only liquid slag bonding in the slag, the effective foaming life was 7.7 min. In the absence of these factors, the foaming life was only 2 min.

The basicity constant, or pK<sub>b</sub>, is an intrinsic physical property of bases that gives a measure of its proton affinity in macroscopic environments. While the pKb is typically defined in reference to the bulk aqueous phase, several studies have suggested that this value can differ significantly at the air-water interface (which can have significant ramifications for particle surface chemistry and aerosol growth modeling). To provide mechanistic insight into surface proton affinity, we carried out <i>ab initio</i> metadynamics calculations to (1) explore the free-energy profile of dimethylamine and (2) provide reasonable estimates of the pKb value in different solvent environments. We find that the free-energy profiles obtained with our metadynamics calculations show a dramatic variation, with interfacial aqueous dimethylamine pK<sub>b</sub> values being significantly lower than in the bulk aqueous environment. Furthermore, our metadynamics calculations indicate that these variations are due to reduced hydrogen bonding at the air-water surface. Taken together, our quantum mechanical metadynamics calculations show that the reactivity of dimethylamine is surprisingly complex, leading to pK<sub>b</sub> variations that critically depend on the different atomic interactions occurring at the microscopic molecular level.

Presented work shows results of synthesis and spectrophotometric researches on properties of meso-dinitrosubstituted derivatives of 5,15-diphenyl-β-octaalkylporphyrin nitroderivatives in comparison with 2,8,12,18,3,7,13,17-octaethylporphyrin and 2,3,7,8,12,13,17,18-octaethyl-5,15-dinitroporphyrin. The method of spectrophotometric titration with perchloric acid (for determining the basicity constant) and 1,8-diazabicyclo [5.4.0] undec-7-ene (DBU) was used in order to study the acid-base properties of porphyrins, namely to determine the acidity constant. The spectral characteristics of the ionized forms of 5,15-dinitro-10,20-diphenyl-3,7,13,17-tetramethyl-2,8,12,18-tetraethylporfin-F (I) and 5,15-dinitro-10,20-bis(4-nitrophenyl)-2,8,12,18-tetramethyl-3,7,13,17-tetraethylporphyrin (II) and the corresponding total constants of the acidic (pKa (I) = 6.00 and pKa (II) = 5.27) and the basic (pKb (I) = 19.78 and pKb (II) = 19.83) ionization were provided. The reaction of complexation of porphyrins with zinc acetate was studied by spectrophotometric method in pure acetonitrile and in mixed AN + DBU solvent. The influence of the degree of deformation of the tetrapyrrole macroring, the electronic effects of substituents and the acidity of the medium on the coordination and acid-base properties of porphyrins was analyzed. It was shown that the reactions of formation of metalloporphyrins with anionic porphyrin forms proceed with much higher rates compared to molecular ones, that is accompanied with a decrease in the energy parameters of the reaction. This is evidently due to the absence of energy costs for the deformation and cleaving N-H bonds of the reaction center, as well as the stronger polarization of the molecule, and as a consequence, the higher degree of solvation of anionic forms of porphyrins in the transition state. Thus, the determination of the conditions for the existence of dianionic forms of porphyrins gives grounds for the development of new sensor systems for the recognition and determination of the concentration of metal cations in liquid media due to a sharp increase in the rate of formation of metalloporphyrins in the presence of an organic base.Forcitation:Pukhovskaya S.G., Ivanova Yu.B., Erzunov D.A., Semeykin A.S., Syrbu S.A.

The Bunnett-Olsen linear free relationship1 has been used to determine the thermodynamic basicity constants, KBH+, of 22 amides, 8 phenylureas, and 9 nitroanilines. These values have been compared with the basicity constant determined by plotting log I against the appropriate acidity function. For amides and phenylureas the two values of pKBH+ differ by <0.3 logarithm units, whereas for nitroanilines the difference increases with decreasing basicity and may be as large as 2.1 logarithm units.
