The identity of these products was consistent with the theoretically predicted bond cleavage patterns of the axial and equatorial nitramine groups of RDX and HMX. A combination of theory and experiment thus permitted the tentative assignment of the primary photochemical steps for polycrystalline RDX.","PeriodicalId":23290,"journal":{"name":"Transactions of The Faraday Society","volume":"67 1","pages":"1749-1755"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1971-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1039/TF9716701749","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"57622076","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}

Negative ΔSh and ΔHh values result from the transfer of the above-mentioned ethers from the gaseous state to dilute aqueous solutions. Their absolute values, however, are markedly smaller for the diethers than for monoethers, this being particularly so for ΔSh values. Comparisons are made between the thermodynamic behaviour in aqueous solutions of cyclic ethers and amines and the analogue, open-chain derivatives. On the basis of views currently held on water structure, hypotheses are suggested to explain effects associated with (i) changing from open to cyclic systems, (ii) lengthening of the chain and methyl substitution, and (iii) the presence, in cyclic systems, of several hydrophilic centres.","PeriodicalId":23290,"journal":{"name":"Transactions of The Faraday Society","volume":"67 1","pages":"1943-1950"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1971-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1039/TF9716701943","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"57624530","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 corresponding value for the angle in the dioxide is 118.5±1.0°, whilst the trioxide is planar within experimental error. For both molecules, spectroscopic estimates of the vibrational amplitudes have been made from force-constant data, and for SO2 these are in satisfactory agreement with the diffraction results. For SO3, however, agreement is poorer and this may indicate the presence of a small amount of S3O9 trimer in the diffracting vapour. Mean-square parallel and perpendicular amplitudes of vibration and centrifugal distortion corrections have also been calculated for both molecules and the electron-diffraction ra parameters converted to equilibrium (re), and zero-point-average (r°α), values.

The relative static permittivities of the pure solvents used range from 3.37 to 20.7 at 25°C. For all the solutions investigated, the observed dispersion of permittivity is adequately described by a single relaxation time, which for a given solvent depends on the concentration as well as the nature of the solute. Apparent dipole moments evaluated from the dispersion amplitude by means of Bottcher's theory, on the assumption that the dipole occupies a spherical cavity, are 12.3±0.4 D and 11.2±0.6 D for the picrate and iodide respectively. These values indicate that the relaxing dipole is an ion pair. Dielectric relaxation times corrected for internal field effects by different relations are compared with those calculated from the partial molar volume of the solute and the viscosity of the solvent by means of the Debye-Stokes equation. Density data for solutions of the two salts in 1,2-dichloroethane are included and from these data, partial molar volumes of the salts have been evaluated.","PeriodicalId":23290,"journal":{"name":"Transactions of The Faraday Society","volume":"67 1","pages":"2225-2233"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1971-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1039/TF9716702225","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"57626500","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}
