Inhibiting Effects of Group 6 Oxo-Anions on the Pitting Corrosion of Tin in Citrate-Chloride Solution

Fawzi Hassan Assaf


Illustration

The localized corrosion of Cl- in citrate solution was examined in the absence and presence of oxo-anions. For all examined concentrations of Cl- , the pitting potentials were shifted toward negative values, see Fig. 5. The order of oxo-anions inhibiting effect on the aggresive Cl- ions is: CrO42- > WO42- > MoO42- indicating that CrO4 2- remains the best inhibitor to prevent the pitting corrosion, probably through its ability to repair defects in the oxide film.

Studies on Photochemical Reactivities of 2-(Alkylcarbamoyl)quinolines

Isao Ono,* Tetsuo Ikegami, and Tomoko Inayoshi


Illustration

The illumination of 2-(diethylcarbamoyl)quinolines induced alkyl-insertion to the C(O)-N bond and five-membered cyclization. 2-(Ethylcarbamoyl)quinoline did not undertake a photochemical change. This could be attributed to an unfavorable orientation of the ethylcarbamoyl substituent for hydrogen-atom abstraction by a ring nitrogen.

Isao Suzuki, Yasuyuki Tsuboi, Hiroshi Miyasaka, and Akira Itaya*


Illustration

Absorption spectra of the singlet- and triplet-excited states of C60 were dependent on the ionization potential of the solvent molecules. The dependence was ascribed to a specific interaction of the C60 -excited states with solvent molecules through donating their -electron density.

Effect of the Hydrophobic Anion of Picrate on the Extraction of Europium(III) with Diamide

Hirochika Naganawa,* Hideya Suzuki, Shoichi Tachimori, Akinobu Nasu, and Tatsuya Sekine


Illustration

Picrate (pic- ) ions enhance the Eu(III) extraction with diamide ( da ) from an aqueous HNO3 solution into benzene very effectively; pic- ions work as counter ions for the [Eu ( da )2 ]3+ cation, instead of NO3 - ions. The anion effect can originate in the hydrophobicity of pic- .

Acid-Catalyzed Condensation of Azulenes with 9-Anthracenecarbaldehyde and the Synthesis of (9-Anthryl)di(1-azulenyl)methyl and (1-Azulenyl)[10-(1-azulenyl)-9-anthryl]methyl Hexafluorophosphates

Shunji Ito,* Miwako Fujita, Noboru Morita, and Toyonobu Asao


Illustration

Acid-catalyzed condensations of 1-methyl and 1,6-di-t -butylazulenes with 9-anthracenecarbaldehyde led to 9-(1-azulenyl)-10-[(1-azulenyl)methylidene]-9,10-dihydroanthracenes as major products, together with (9-anthryl)di(1-azulenyl)methanes. Hydride abstraction from these hydrocarbons with DDQ afforded stable (9-anthryl)di(1-azulenyl)methyl and (1-azulenyl)[10-(1-azulenyl)-9-anthryl]methyl cations.

The Reaction of Nitrile Oxide-Quinone Cycloadducts. IV. Acid-Catalyzed Dealkylative Aromatization of the 1 : 1 -C=C-Adducts and Base-Induced Rearrangement Products of Aromatic Nitrile Oxides with 2,5- and 2,6-Dialkyl- p -benzoquinones

Takashi Mukawa, Jun Muraoka, and Shinsaku Shiraishi*


Illustration

The 1,3-dipolar cycloadducts of nitrile oxides with p -benzoquinones were treated with acetic anhydride/sulfuric acid to give hydroquinone diacetates. The base-induced rearrangement products from some of the cycloadducts were treated with acetic anhydride/sulfuric acid to give catechol diacetates and/or hydroquinone diacetates depending on a slight difference in the substituents.

Catalysis of Polymer-Protected Ni/Pd Bimetallic Nano-Clusters for Hydrogenation of Nitrobenzene Derivatives

Ping Lu and Naoki Toshima*,


Illustration

Nanometer-sized bimetallic Ni/Pd nanoclusters protected by poly(N -vinyl-2-pyrrolidone) exhibit excellent catalytic properties for the reduction of nitro group to amino group in various nitroaromatic compounds under mild conditions. The alloy particles have an ensemble effect on hydrogenation rate, which is 3-4 times greater than that catalyzed by a monometallic colloidal Pd.

Characterization of Sulfur on Pt-Alkali metal/Al2 O3 Catalysts Treated with H2 S by a Temperature-Programmed Reaction Using Deuterium and Its Role in the Dehydrogenation of Isobutane

Junya Kobayashi* and Takashi Shimizu


Illustration

TPR experiments using deuterium show that most of the reversibly adsorbed sulfur on catalysts is HS- . The peak at 713 K for Pt-Na2 O/Al2 O3 is attributable to the bridging HS- between PtS and Na2 S particles. This HS- species contributes to dehydrogenation.
