An adsorbed material with a high coverage θorganic accumulates on the electrode over a wide potential range. The rate of adsorption is not limited by mass transport. A maximum coverage, θorganic= 0.73, is indicated at +0.30 V, and this falls to zero by 0.65 V (RHE). This material poisons the main HCOOH → CO2 reaction at all potentials. The main oxidation process at ⩽0.45 V (RHE) proceeds via an adsorbed intermediate which has not been isolated on the surface. Electron transfer is the rate-limiting step. At 0.55⩽E⩽0.75 V (RHE), adsorption of the intermediate is rate limiting and this is followed by fast electron transfer. The role of θorganic in inhibiting the main oxidation process is discussed. A possible electroactive solution species is suggested.","PeriodicalId":23290,"journal":{"name":"Transactions of The Faraday Society","volume":"67 1","pages":"801-808"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1971-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1039/TF9716700801","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"57616080","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The origin of the spectra is discussed; they definitely originate from vibrations of the surface adsorbed species. Spectra of a range of adsorbates including halogens, hydrocarbons and halogenated hydrocarbons, nitriles and aldehydes adsorbed on a range of oxide surfaces are discussed. The spectra closely resemble those of the liquid if physical adsorption is involved, but considerable frequency and intensity changes occur if the molecules are chemisorbed. Raman spectroscopy has an advantage over infra-red in this field in that bands due to these adsorbents are not prominent in the spectrum. However, the method lacks sensitivity as yet and is restricted to good Raman scatterers adsorbed on high surface area adsorbents.","PeriodicalId":23290,"journal":{"name":"Transactions of The Faraday Society","volume":"67 1","pages":"828-840"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1971-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1039/TF9716700828","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"57616608","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The trend in the adsorption constants for the isomeric olefins was similar to that observed on nickel oxide and on 1,3,5-trinitrobenzene. Increase in the ionization potentials of the olefins resulted in a linear decrease in the logarithms of the adsorption constants. A non-dissociative π-complex having a partial positive charge was estimated for the adsorbed olefin. The role of the adsorbed intermediate in the oxidation reaction is discussed on the basis of the adsorbed state and the rate constants of the isomeric olefins.","PeriodicalId":23290,"journal":{"name":"Transactions of The Faraday Society","volume":"67 1","pages":"877-883"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1971-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1039/TF9716700877","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"57616998","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The energy component of the stress supported by the network is more or less independent of the network cure at a value of fe/f= 0.12±0.02. The energy component of the stress is independent of whether the measurements are made in the dry or in the swollen state, despite the fact that the dry rubbers have non-Gaussian equations of state and that the swollen rubbers approach Gaussian behaviour. Flory's analysis of rubber elasticity which includes hindered internal rotation in the main polymer chain, is compared with experimental results. To a first approximation it gives the correct order of magnitude for the energy component of stress. Measurements have also been made of the pressure coefficient of stress, from which the dilation coefficient of the rubber has been calculated as a function of strain. Flory's analysis does not appear to predict this coefficient satisfactorily.","PeriodicalId":23290,"journal":{"name":"Transactions of The Faraday Society","volume":"67 1","pages":"1278-1292"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1971-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1039/TF9716701278","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"57618354","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using a series expression of the measured capacitance in negative powers of the spacing between the electrodes, Iµx can be computed from the coefficient of the linear term, if certain conditions are fulfilled.

Although structural studies suggest the presence of two differently coordinated types of water molecule, all of the water molecules behave identically with respect to their kinetics of dehydration. The reactant/product interface penetrates into the crystal at a constant rate in only the two dimensions parallel to the planes (001) which contain the copper and formate ions. A two-dimensional contracting envelope equation describes the α(fraction dehydration) against time curves. The energy of activation, 11.2 ± 0.2 kcal/mol H2O, for penetration of the interface is less than the overall heat of dissociation, 12.5 kcal/mol H2O. The kinetics of dehydration are unaffected by an antiferroelectric transition at –37.7°C.

The results are consistent with the unlike interactions between cyclo-alkane + benzene, hexafluorobenzene and perfluorocyclohexane being roughly independent of the cyclo-alkane but becoming increasingly “weak” in the order : benzene, hexafluorobenzene and perfluorocyclohexane. This order is supported by the excess thermodynamic properties of liquid mixtures and second virial coefficients of related mixtures. The unlike interaction energy parameters obtained from the critical temperature data have been compared with those derived from the excess free energy of mixing at equimole fraction.
