Abstract The effect of Aerosil on the chemical reactions and the kinetics observed in thiuram vulcanizations was subjected to closer scrutiny. Results now available show: 1. Aerosil does not alter the chemical mechanism of thiuram vulcanizations. It also has no qualitative effect on the kinetics of the various reactions involved. Thiuram disappearance and dithiocarbamate formation over by far the greatest range of conversions are first order reactions. Nevertheless, the limiting value of dithiocarbamate formation is somewhat higher than in the absence of Aerosil. 2. Quantitatively speaking, essential differences are involved. The rate constants for both thiuram loss and dithiocarbamate formation rise considerably when Aerosil is used; in both cases there is a dependence on the Aerosil content of the rubber compound. Yet the activation energies of thiuram disappearance and dithiocarbamate formation are practically the same as in Aerosil-free thiuram vulcanizations, amounting to about 21 kcal/mole. 3. Measurements of the limiting equilibrium swelling reveal that adding Aerosil does not result in additional crosslinking, so that in thiuram vulcanizations the catalytic action displayed by silica gel is the outstanding feature.

Abstract As a complement to earlier investigations, and in order to examine more closely the connection between the chemical kinetics and the changes with vulcanization time of the physical properties in the case of vulcanization reactions, we used thiuram vulcanizations as an example, and concerned ourselves with the dependence of stress values (moduli) at different degrees of elongation and different vulcanization temperatures. We found: 1. Stress values attain a limiting value, dependent on the degree of elongation, but independent of the vulcanization temperature at constant elongation. 2. The rise in stress values with the vulcanization time is characterized by an initial delay, which, however, is practically nonexistent at higher temperatures. 3. The kinetics of the increase in stress values with vulcanization time are both qualitatively and quantitatively in accord with the dependence of the reciprocal equilibrium swelling on the vulcanization time; both processes, after a retardation, go according to the first order law and at the same rate. 4. From the temperature dependence of the rate constants of reciprocal equilibrium swelling, as well as of the increase in stress, an activation energy of 22 kcal/mole can be calculated, in good agreement with the activation energy of dithiocarbamate formation in thiuram vulcanizations.

Abstract In continuation of earlier work with natural rubber, the kinetics of sulfur decrease were studied in certain synthetic rubbers for different temperatures and sulfur concentrations. At the same time the formation of polysulfide bound sulfur was studied, using as example the reaction of sulfur with natural rubber and synthetic rubbers. It was found that: 1) When the decrease in sulfur concentration is portrayed by curves which are convex to the time axis (Perbunan), the 0.6th order time-law is fulfilled, (as in the case of natural rubber independent of temperature and concentration. 2) In contrast, the concentration dependence of the rate at which sulfur decreases, both in Perbunan and cis 1,4-polybutadiene, denotes a first-order reaction in agreement with experience with natural rubber. 3) The activation energy of sulfur decrease has the same magnitude for all the elastomers investigated (34 to 36 kcal/mole). 4) The disagreement between the time law and the concentration dependence of the rate of sulfur disappearance encountered in all the experiments with 1,5-polyenes, is interpreted as indicating autocatalysis, which likewise explains the shape of the curves for sulfur disappearance. 5) Sulfur reacts considerably faster in natural rubber and Perbunan than in cis 1,4-polybutadiene; consequently a homolytic dissociation of the S8-ring cannot be rate-determining. 6) Polysulfide sulfur shows, in each case, a maximum with reaction time, and in completely reacted vulcanizates it tends toward a limiting value. An equation was found, which provides a good description of change with time of polysulfide concentration (natural rubber and cis 1,4-polybutadiene). 7) An explanation is given for the appearance of the polysulfide maximum; and how the reaction of sulfur with 1,5-polyenes can be represented, making use of all available results, is discussed.

Abstract The vulcanization of natural rubber with sulfur, using mercaptobenzothiazole as accelerator in the presence of zinc stearate, was investigated. The results were as follows: 1) When natural rubber is cured with sulfur in the presence of zinc oxide and mercaptobenzothiazole, as well as zinc stearate, one observes, with the first order diminution of sulfur concentration, an induction period that grows longer as the cure temperature falls. 2) For the disappearance of sulfur there is calculated, from the temperature dependence of the rate constants, an activation energy of 19.5 kcal/mole. This value is considerably smaller than that found for the mercaptobenzothiazole-accelerated sulfur cure when no zinc stearate is present. 3) The percentage loss in mercaptobenzothiazole during vulcanization is, in the presence of zinc stearate, independent of the temperature; there is a reaction, independent of the amount of stearate added of 5 molecules of S8 for each molecule of mercaptobenzothiazole. 4) The diminution in accelerator can also be explained as a first order reaction, and it becomes evident that disappearance of accelerator and sulfur are equivalent-rate processes. 5) The crosslinking, measured by the reciprocal equilibrium swelling, goes according to the first order, yet sulfur disappearance and the crosslinking reaction are not equal rate processes, which was always true in the absence of zinc stearate. In each case the crosslinking rate constants are greater than those for the decrease in sulfur. 6) For the activation energy of network formation, we calculated, from the temperature dependence of the rate constants of the reciprocal equilibrium swelling, 20.5 kcal/mole. 7) When the stearate content is constant, there is a linear relationship between kSI, the rate constant for sulfur diminution, and the given amount of mercaptobenzothiazole, up to an initial molar ratio of mercaptobenzothiazole: stearate = 4:1. Increases in accelerator proportion beyond this initial ratio cause no further rise in the rate constants. 8) The rate constants of the crosslinking reaction also increase with increasing proportion of mercaptobenzothiazole (stearate portion remaining constant), until the initial molar ratio of mercaptobenzothiazole:zinc stearate = 4:1 is reached. Nevertheless, the relationship is not linear. 9) There is a linear relationship between the amount of zinc stearate in the vulcanizate and the maximum sulfur-loss rate constants kSI (max). 10) The maximum rate constants of the network forming reaction kQI (max) are proportional to the square root of the stearate content. 11) The number of crosslinkage points formed is independent of the quantity of mercaptobenzothiazole, when the stearate content is constant. 12) The number of crosslinking points formed increases, however, along with increasing stearate content, and is proportional to the square root of the stearate content. The investigations will be continued.

Abstract Bound sulfur in a pure thiuram vulcanizate increases relatively rapidly at first at all temperatures, reaches a poorly defined maximum at about 27 to 30%, independent of temperature, and then recedes slightly to reach a limiting value of 25% also independent of temperature, based on the original thiuram disulfide. The rise in sulfur content at the start points to a temperature-independent limiting value of 33%. It is shown that the combination of sulfur in this region initially follows a first order reaction, and goes at the same rate as the reduction in concentration of thiuram disulfide. It can be seen from the above that sulfur may be combined in thiuram vulcanization without simultaneous crosslinking. The dithiocarbamate formation increases rapidly in the region of longer vulcanization times, after the maximum in bound sulfur has been reached, without further combination of sulfur with the vulcanizate. The rate constants for thiuram decrease, for dithiocarbamate increase and for sulfur combination were calculated. The temperature dependence of each of these reactions has practically the same activation energy, 23 kcal/mole. The bound sulfur content of the vulcanizates in pure thiuram vulcanizations is no criterion of the state of vulcanization.

Abstract In this work, the kinetics of the thermal vulcanization of Perbunan were studied with and without additives. The following results were obtained : 1. The pure thermal vulcanization of Perbunan is a very slow process which obeys a second order rate law. A limiting value of the crosslinking (reciprocal limit of equilibrium swelling) is reached, which limit is independent of the temperature. The activation energy is 23.3 kcal/mole. 2. The thermal vulcanization can be inhibited by hydroquinone but not by benzoquinone. 3. The thermal vulcanization of Perbunan can be considerably accelerated by MBTS, and other materials, and the reaction also follows a second order course. The activation starts suddenly after the expiration of an induction period, which decreases with increase in temperature. The activation energy is about 27 kcal/mole. 4. In a thermal vulcanization accelerated with MBTS, a portion of the MBTS is changed over into MBT ; the amount changed is independent of temperature. Perbunan takes up MBTS in the form of molecular fragments, in stable combination. 5. The reduction in MBTS (which falls to zero) and the increase in MBT follow a first order reaction and have the same activation energy which is also identical with the energy of activation of the accelerated crosslinking. The formation of MBT is the slower of the two reactions. 6. The rate constants for the decrease in MBTS and for the increase in MBT are independent of the starting amount of MBTS, and hence we consider that this is a unimolecular process (homolysis). 7. The rate constant for the second order crosslinking reaction increases with the square root of the initial benzothiazolyl disulfide content. 8. It is indicated that the above data must be explained, with the aid of experience in the realm of polymerization kinetics. The investigations are being continued.

The kinetics of the reaction of organic isothiocyanates with a large excess of 1-octanol in o-dichlorobenzene was examined at 90–140°. The rate of the reaction was first order with respect to the concentration of isothiocyanate, but the apparent second-order rate constants calculated varied according to the initial 1-octanol concentration. These facts can be explained by a reaction mechanism involving two molecules of 1-octanol in the transition state for the slow step of the reaction. The relative rate of the reaction of isothiocyanates with 1-octanol at 120° decreased in the order of benzyl, phenyl, allyl, ethyl, n-butyl, n-hexyl, isobutyl, and cyclohexyl isothiocyanate. The apparent energies of activation and log A were obtained as 13.5–16.5 kcal/mole and 4.65–6.46 (A in liter/mole min), respectively. Tributylamine had a slight catalytic effect, but dibutyltin dilaurate and ferric acetylacetonate had a strong catalytic action in these reactions.

A two step operation is proposed for the biodegradation of low concentrations (< 10 mg/L) of BETX substances in an up flow submerged biotower configuration. Step 1 involves growth of a lush biofilm using benzoic acid in a batch mode. Step 2 involves a longer term biological transformation of BETX. Kinetics of biotransformations are modeled using first order assumptions, with rate constants being a function of benzoic acid dosages used in Step 1. A calibrated computer model is developed and presented to predict the degree of transformation and biomass level throughout the tower under a variety of inlet and design operational conditions.

<p>The reaction of bis-(diaminoethane)nickel(II) chloride, ([Ni(en)2]Cl2 in methanol with formaldehyde and nitroethane in the presence of triethylamine proceeds readily to produce (6, 13-dimethyl-6, 13-dinitro-1, 4, 8, 11-tetraazacyclotetradecane)nickel(II) chloride, [Ni(dini)] - Cl2. Reduction of the nitro groups of this compound by catalytic hydrogenation yields three isomers of the pendant arm macrocyclic complex (6, 13-diamino-6, 13-dimethyl-1, 4, 8, 11-tetraazachyclotetradecane)nickel(II) chloride, designated a-, b- and c-[Ni(diam)]Cl2. These were separated by fractional crystallization. The aisomer was observed to isomerizes slowly in solution to the b- form. A parallel dissociation reaction of the a- isomer was also observed. The demetallation of a- and b- isomers of the diam complex of nickel by reaction with cyanide or concentrated acid at 140 degrees C produces the macrocycle meso-(6, 13-diamino-6, 13-dimethyl-1, 4, 8, 11-tetraazacyclotetra-decane), diam. A variety of hexamine, pentamine and tetramine complexes of diam with nickel(II), copper(II), cobalt(II) and (III), chromium(III), palladium(II), rhodium(III), zinc(II) and cadmium(II) were prepared. Hexamine and tetramine forms of labile metal complexes could be rapidly and reversibly interconverted by altering the pH. The hexamine cobalt(III) cation, [Co(diam)]3+ was by far the most inert of the prepared cobalt(III) complexes, remaining unaffected in hot acidic solutions. In contrast, a single pendant arm of the hexamine [Cr(diam)]3+ cation could be dissociated in acid. (Two possibly triamine complexes of lead were also prepared). These compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, magnetic measurements, electronic, infrared, 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectra. The pendant arm protonation constants (log K) of diam and selected complexes of nickel, copper and palladium were calculated from potentiometric titration measurements at 25 degrees C. The log K values for diam at 25 degrees C (I = 0.1 M NaclO4) were 11.15, 9.7, 6.2 and 5.3. Kinetics of the parallel isomerization and dissociation of a-[Ni(dimH2)]4+ in HCl/NaCl solutions were monitored spectrophotometrically at 50 degrees C. The rate of reaction in acidic solutions showed a non-linear dependency on acid concentration. The observed first order rate constant (kobs) for disappearance of a-[Ni(diamH2)]4+ (by isomerization and dissociation) in 2.0 M HCl, 0.1 M NaOH and 2.0 M NaCl were 3.05 x 10-4, 2.0(3) x 10-2 and 5.0 x 10-5 s-1 respectively. The rate of the dissociation component of the reaction of a-[Ni(diamH2)]4+ in 2.0 M HCl at 50 degrees C was 1.82 x 10-7 s-1. Acid bydrolysis kinetics of (Cu[diamH2])(ClO4)4 in hydrochloric acid and perchloric acid at 50 and 70 degrees C were studied spectrophotometrically. The reactions were slow and the observed first order rate constants were to a first approximation independent of the particular acid or its concentration. The observed first order rate constants were 1 x 10-9 and 8 x 10-9 s-1 at 50 and 70 degrees C respectively. Questions about the nature of the reaction being followed have been raised.</p>

First order rate constants of the reaction of a series of SH-, imidazole- and imidazole/SH-compounds with FDNB as well as their pH- and temperature dependence were determined. Some of the tested imidazole/SH-compounds exhibit a higher nucleophilic reactivity as is expected on the basis of their pKSH-values. This enhanced reactivity is caused by an activation of the SH-groups by a neighbouring imidazole residue. The pH-independent rate constants were calculated using the Lindley equation.The kinetics of DNP-transfer from DNP-imidazole to SH-compounds were investigated. The pH-dependence of the reaction displays a maximum curve. Donor in this reaction is the DNP-imidazolecation and acceptor the thiolate anion.The reaction rate of FDNB with imidazole derivatives is two to three orders of magnitude slower than with SH-compounds.No inter- or intra-molecular transfer of the DNP-residue from sulfure to imidazole takes place.
