The focus of this thesis was on the mechanisms of release of volatile molecules from smectite clay minerals. The weight loss was monitored by thermogravimetry, differential calorimetry, and mass spectrometry under isothermal conditions and under ramp tempe ...
The kinetics of the oxidn. of nitrite to nitrate by peroxynitrous acid at pH 5.2 is best described by the rate law kobs = kiso + k'[NO2-] + k''[NO2-]2, in which the peroxynitrous acid isomerization rate const. kiso = (1.10 +- 0.05) s-1, k' = (3.2 +- 0.1) M ...
By combining methods of kinetic and density functional theory, we present a description of molecular fluids which accounts for their microscopic structure and thermodynamic properties as well as their hydrodynamic behavior. We focus on the evolution of the ...
We derive an analytical expression for the size distribution of monoatomic wires in the framework of a one-dimensional lattice gas model at thermodynamic equilibrium. The theoretical results are compared with the size distribution of one-dimensional Ag wir ...
(Chemical Equation Presented) Less carbon: Following a biogenetic proposal, the unusual 6-5-6 carbon skeleton of C19 taiwaniaquinoids was obtained by an intramolecular benzilic acid rearrangement from a C20 precur-sor. A protecting-group-free total synthes ...
We consider a material having a constant true activation volume and estimate the apparent activation volume that it displays in cyclic creep or ratcheting. We show that cyclic stresses have an effect on the measured value, and that this can be accounted fo ...
Numerical calculations of the evaporation kinetics of bulk volatile liquids and of water from smectite clay granules are compared with experimental results. The weight loss of the volatiles is analyzed by thermogravimetry and differential calorimetry. Unde ...
In this review ligand exchange and complex formation reactions on fac-[(CO)3M(H2O)3]+ (M = Mn, Tc, Re) and on fac-[(CO)2(NO)Re(H2O)3]2+ are presented. A variety of experimental NMR techniques are described and it is shown that sometimes combinations of tec ...
The curing reaction of an epoxy resin [diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA)] combined with a methyl-hexahydrophtalic anhydride (MHHPA) hardener and a benzyldimethylamine (BDMA) accelerator was studied over a temperature range of 60140°C to build its is ...
Simplified vibrational densities of states for five different carbonates are constructed using measured IR and Raman spectra. From the spectroscopic models we calculate thermodynamic and thermoelastic properties of magnesite, calcite, aragonite, dolomite, ...
