Solvolysis reactions of some substituted benzoyl chlorides were studied in ethanol-water, ethanol-trifluoroethanol and methanol-acetonitrile mixtures. Results showed that the reaction proceeds via an $S_N2$ process in which bond formation is more advanced than bond cleavage. Comparison of the two models for predicting transition state variation indicated superior nature of the quantum mechanical model relative to the potential energy surface model.

The sensitivity factors and the error propagation factors are defined for the three-parameter ellipsometry (TPE). The sensitivity factor is useful for understanding the nature of the TPE measurements in connection with determination of the optical properties and the thickness of a film. On the other hand, the error propagation factors provide a quantitative tool for predicting the optimum condition for TPE experiments. Their usefulness is demonstrated for the passive film formed on nickel in aqueous solution.

The nature and analysis methods of complicated decay profiles found in forced Rayleigh scattering (FRS) have been investigated for the probe diffusion of methyl yellow in 2-propanol. The complementary shifted and ground state grating effect, which is known to be the origin of non-single exponential decays, was analyzed by non-linear regression fitting to a double exponential model function. We confirmed that the parameters were highly correlated so that it was difficult to extract a unique set of parameters in the presence of experimental noise. Nevertheless, a reasonable range of decay time constants could be estimated from the grating spacing dependence.

Negatively charged functional organic molecules such as retinoic acid, ascorbic acid, indole acetic acid, citric acid, salicylic acid, acidic dye (indigo carmine, Food Blue 1) are intercalatively encapsulated by zinc basic salt (hydrozincite) and layered double hydroxide. Such functional organic-inorganic nanohybrids are realized via coprecipitation reaction involving simultaneous formation of layered inorganic lattice and intercalation of anionic species. The heterostructural nature of these nanohybrids, their particle morphology and textural characterizations are mainly discussed on the basis of Powder X-ray Diffraction and Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy results.

The alkyl Grignard addition reaction on 1-benzyltetrazolylimine proceeds to give N-alkylated products (azophilic addition) and, in contrast, the same reaction on 2-benzyltetrazolylimine produced predominantly C-alkylated products (carbophilic addition). In this report we described theoretical explanations for this experimental finding on the basis of the frontier molecular orbitals and the electrostatic nature of the reactants and the reaction intermediates.

Inhibiting action of semicarbazide, thiosemicarbazide, sym. diphenylcarbazide towards corrosion of zinc in hydrochloric acid has been investigated. The rate of corrosion depends on the nature of the inhibitor and its concentration. The values of inhibition efficiency from, weight loss, thermometric measurements are in good agreement with those obtained from polarization studies. From the polarization studies, the inhibitors used act as mixed absorption type inhibitors, increased adsorption resulting from an increase in the electron density at the reactive C=S and C=O groups and N-atoms. The thermodynamic parameters of adsorption obtained using Bockris-Swinkels adsorption isotherm reveal a strong interaction of these carbazides on zinc surface.

In the three-parameter ellipsometry (TPE), also known as reflectance-ellipsometry, the ellipsometric measurements, ${\Psi} and {\Delta}$, are combined with the reflectometric measurement, R, to determine the optical parameters and the thickness of a light-absorbing thin film. The constant ${\Psi}, {\Delta}$ and R surfaces are analyzed graphically to understand the nature of the TPE solutions. A sensitivityanalysis is shown to be useful not only for identifying the film properties which affect most the TPE measurements, but also for estimating errors in film properties arising from the uncertainties in measurements.

The polycondensations of bis(2-hydroxyethyl) naphthalate were kinetically investigated in the presence of various metallic compounds as catalysts at 295 ℃. The effect of the catalyst nature in the polycondensation has been studied. The order of catalytic activity on the formation of poly(ethylene 2,6-naphthalate) was found to be related to the stability constants which are indicated in an index of the catalytic activity.

Thermodynamic and electrical functions of aminophenol and anthranilic acid complexes with Mn(Ⅱ), Fe(Ⅱ), Co(Ⅱ), Ni(Ⅱ) and Cu(Ⅱ) were determined. ΔG°, ΔH° and ΔS° were calculated with the help of stability constant values at different temperatures. It was found that the complexing processes have an exothermic nature. The studied complexes behave like semiconductors. The conduction takes place according to hopping mechanism. To show the composition of complexes conductometric and photometric titrations, IR spectra, thermal analysis and X-ray diffraction techniques were employed.

Aim of our study is finding adsorbents suitable for pre-concentration of chemical warfare agents (CWAs). We considered Tenax, bare silica and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)-coated silica as adsorbents for dimethyl methylphosphonate (DMMP) and dipropylene glycol methyl ether (DPGME). Tenax showed lower thermal stability, and therefore, desorption of CWA simulants and decomposition of Tenax took place simultaneously. Silica-based adsorbents showed higher thermal stabilities than Tenax. A drawback of silica was that adsorption of CWA simulant (DMMP) was significantly reduced by pre-treatment of the adsorbents with humid air. In the case of PDMS-coated silica, influence of humidity for CWA simulant adsorption was less pronounced due to the hydrophobic nature of PDMS-coating. We propose that PDMS-coated silica can be of potential importance as adsorbent of CWAs for their pre-concentration, which can facilitate detection of these CWAs.
