Hematite had almost doubled efficiency in comparison to charcoal activated powder in the same experimental conditions but over a significantly longer per iod. Adsorption isotherms revealed a typical Langmuir shape on hematite and almost linear on activated charcoal. Linear models of Langmuir, Freundlich and Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherms showed that radon adsorption on both adsorbents is a favourable chemical process, with stronger interactions on hematite, that takes place forming a monolayer of ads orbed radon. The kinetic analysis confirmed forming of a monolayer on both adsorbents and two rate-controlling steps during radon adsorption on hematite, instead of one on activated charcoal, which could be considered as a reason of slower rate of process on hematite .","PeriodicalId":10822,"journal":{"name":"Croatica Chemica Acta","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135448259","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Pisanski","doi":"10.5562/cca3765","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5562/cca3765","url":null,"abstract":"Catacondensed benzenoids (those benzenoids having no carbon atom belonging to three hexagonal rings) form the simplest class of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH). They have a long history of study and are of wide chemical importance. In this paper, mathematical possibilities for natural extension of the notion of a catacondensed benzenoid are discussed, leading under plausible chemically and physically motivated restrictions to the notion of a catacondensed chemical hexagonal complex (CCHC). A general polygonal complex is a topological structure composed of polygons that are glued together along certain edges. A polygonal complex is flat if none of its edges belong to more than two polygons. A connected flat polygonal complex determines an orientable or nonorientable surface, possibly with boundary. A CCHC is then a connected flat polygonal complex all of whose polygons are hexagons and each of whose vertices belongs to at most two hexagonal faces. We prove that all CCHC are Kekulean and give formulas for counting the perfect matchings in a series of examples based on expansion of cubic graphs in which the edges are replaced by linear polyacenes of equal length. As a preliminary assessment of the likely stability of molecules with CCHC structure, all-electron quantum chemical calculations are applied to molecular structures based on several CCHC, using either linear or kinked unbranched catafused polyacenes as the expansion motif. The systems examined all have closed shells according to Huckel theory and all correspond to minima on the potential surface, thus passing the most basic test for plausibility as a chemical species.","PeriodicalId":10822,"journal":{"name":"Croatica Chemica Acta","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2021-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47506122","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It was proposed that these transformations occur through the 1πσ* excited-state reaction paths of the imino tautomers. The mechanisms involve dissociations of the N1–H bonds in the tautomers and lead to crossings between the reaction paths of 1πσ* and S0 electronic states.

The rotational barrier exhibited very good correlation with shortening of the phenyl-formyl bond, lengthening of carbonyl bond, increase of electron density at the formyl group, increase of stabilization energy, lowering of chemical shift in the 13C NMR of the formyl carbon, and with the values of empirical Hammett σp+ constants. Therefore, rotational barrier is a useful quantum mechanical parameter for quantifying the electron-donating substituent effect and π-conjugation in parasubstituted benzaldehydes. Based upon the rotational barrier a scale has been set in this work to judge the electron donating effect of substituents. Moreover, a canonical structure has been proposed for stronger electron-donating substituents. The results of this study reveal that simultaneous presence of electron acceptor formyl group and electron-donating groups is mandatory for the extension of resonance stabilization.","PeriodicalId":10822,"journal":{"name":"Croatica Chemica Acta","volume":"93 1","pages":"85-95"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2020-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.5562/cca3672","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47152829","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
