Finally, the techniques of nmr, infrared spectroscopy, and thin-layer chromatography also can be used to assay maleic anhydride (172). The individual anhydrides may be analyzed by gas chromatography (173,174). The isomeric acids can be determined by polarography (175), thermal analysis (176), paper and thin-layer chromatographies (177), and nonaqueous titrations with an alkaU (178). Maleic and fumaric acids may be separated by both gel filtration (179) and ion-exchange techniques (180). 

Order of thermal stabiUty as determined by differential thermal analysis is sebacic (330°C) > a2elaic = pimelic (320°C) > suberic = adipic = glutaric (290°C) > succinic (255°C) > oxahc (200°C) > malonic (185°C) (19). This order is somewhat different than that in Table 2, and is the result of differences in test conditions. The energy of activation for decarboxylation has been estimated to be 251 kj/mol (60 kcal/mol) for higher members of the series and 126 kJ/mol (30 kcal/mol) for malonic acid (1).

It is convenient to classify here the decompositions of metal salts of the various oxyhalogen acids on the basis of the oxygen content of the anion, with subsections devoted to the metals of a particular sub-group of the Periodic Table. Again, consideration of the ammonium salts is deferred to Sect. 4. As noted elsewhere in this review, some reports are not explicit as to whether or not melting accompanies reaction thermal analysis studies can be valuable [843].

The physical properties of the acid- and ion-containing polymers are quite interesting. The storage moduli vs. temperature behavior (Figure 8) was determined by dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA) for the PS-PIBMA diblock precursor, the polystyrene diblock ionomer and the poly(styrene)-b-poly(isobutyl methacrylate-co-methacrylic acid) diblock. The last two samples were obtained by the KC>2 hydrolysis approach. It is important to note that these three curves are offset for clarity, i.e. the modulus of the precursor is not necessarily higher than the ionomer. In particular, one should note the same Tg of the polystyrene block before and after ionomer formation, and the extension of the rubbery plateau past 200°C. In contrast, flow occurred in... 

Poly(methyl 3-(l-oxypyridinyl)siloxane) was synthesized and shown to have catalytic activity in transacylation reactions of carboxylic and phosphoric acid derivatives. 3-(Methyldichlorosilyl)pyridine (1) was made by metallation of 3-bromopyridine with n-BuLi followed by reaction with excess MeSiCl3. 1 was hydrolyzed in aqueous ammonia to give hydroxyl terminated poly(methyl 3-pyridinylsiloxane) (2) which was end-blocked to polymer 3 with (Me3Si)2NH and Me3SiCl. Polymer 3 was N-oxidized with m-ClC6H4C03H to give 4. Species 1-4 were characterized by IR and H NMR spectra. MS of 1 and thermal analysis (DSC and TGA) of 2-4 are discussed. 3-(Trimethylsilyl)-pyridine 1-oxide (6), l,3-dimethyl-l,3-bis-3-(l-oxypyridinyl) disiloxane (7) and 4 were effective catalysts for conversion of benzoyl chloride to benzoic anhydride in CH2Cl2/aqueous NaHCC>3 suspensions and for hydrolysis of diphenyl phosphorochloridate in aqueous NaHCC>3. The latter had a ti/2 of less than 10 min at 23°C. 

Recently, several reports of the flame-retardant properties of boron-containing bisphenol-A resins have appeared from Gao and Liu.89 The synthesis of a boron-containing bisphenol-A formaldehyde resin (64 and 65) (Fig. 42) from a mixture of bisphenol-A, formaldehyde, and boric acid, in the mole ratio 1 2.4 0.5, has been reported.893 The kinetics of the thermal degradation and thermal stability of the resins were determined by thermal analysis. The analysis revealed that the resin had higher heat resistance and oxidative resistance than most common phenol-formaldehyde resins. 

Nitration of the ester with 90% nitric acid was effected according to a literature method. Examination of the reaction mixture by TLC showed that both expected mononitro derivatives had been formed, and it was allowed to stand at ambient temperature overnight. Ice and dichloromethane were then added, and the separated solvent layer was washed with aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate, dried, and then freed of solvent by evaporation. The viscous oily residue decomposed and ignited in the flask. The preparation was repeated, but worked up immediately and under nitrogen while still cold, and furnished samples of both of the pine isomeric nitro derivatives. Thermal analysis of these showed both to be thermally stable. It was concluded that the decomposition was due to an impurity formed during the 16 h interval between nitration and work-up. 

Measurements of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) were obtained on a TA Instruments 2910 thermal analysis system (Fig. 2). Samples of approximately 1-2 mg were accurately weighed into an aluminum DSC pan, and covered with an aluminum lid that was crimped in place. The samples were then heated over the range of 20-140 °C, at a heating rate of 10 °C/min. Valproic acid was found to boil at 227 °C. 

Applications of NMR, ESR, thermal analysis, spectrophotometry, gas chromatography, and GC-MS to humic and fulvic acid analysis have been reviewed by Schnitzer [452]. 

Widespread medicinal use of colloidal bismuth subcitrate (CBS) has prompted extensive studies of bismuth compounds involving the citrate anion. Bismuth citrate is essentially insoluble in water, but a dramatic increase in solubility with increasing pH has been exploited as a bio-ready source of soluble bismuth, a material referred to as CBS. Formulation of these solutions is complicated by the variability of the bismuth anion stoichiometry, the presence of potassium and/ or ammonium cations, the susceptibility of bismuth to oxygenation to Bi=0, and the incorporation of water in isolated solids. Consequently, a variety of formulas are classified in the literature as CBS. Solids isolated from various, often ill-defined combinations of bismuth citrate, citric acid, potassium hydroxide, or ammonium hydroxide have been assigned formulas on the basis of elemental analysis data or by determination of water and ammonia content, but are of low significance in the absence of complementary data other than thermal analysis (163), infrared spectroscopy (163), or NMR spectroscopy (164). In this context, the Merck index lists the chemical formula of CBS as KgfNHJaBieOafOHMCeHsCbh in the 11th edition (165), but in the most recent edition provides a less precise name, tripotassium dicitrato bismuthate (166). 

Sealants obtained by curing polysulfide liquid polymers with aryl bis(nitrile oxides) possess stmctural feature of thiohydroximic acid ester. These materials exhibit poor thermal stability when heated at 60°C they soften within days and liquefy in 3 weeks. Products obtained with excess nitrile oxide degrade faster than those produced with equimolar amounts of reagents. Spectroscopic studies demonstrate that, after an initial rapid addition between nitrile oxide and thiol, a second slower reaction occurs which consumes additional nitrile oxide. Thiohydroximic acid derivatives have been shown to react with nitrile oxides at ambient temperature to form 1,2,4-oxadiazole 4-oxides and alkyl thiol. In the case of a polysulfide sealant, the rupture of a C-S bond to form the thiol involves cleavage of the polymer backbone. Continuation of the process leads to degradation of the sealant. These observations have been supported by thermal analysis studies on the poly sulfide sealants and model polymers (511).

Besides the prediction of calcination temperatures during catalyst preparation, thermal analysis is also used to determine the composition of catalysts based on weight changes and thermal behavior during thermal decomposition and reduction, to characterize the aging and deactivation mechanisms of catalysts, and to investigate the acid-base properties of solid catalysts using probe molecules. However, these techniques lack chemical specificity, and require corroboration by other characterization methods. 

Another thermal analysis method available for catalyst characterization is microcalorimetiy, which is based on the measurement of the heat generated or consumed when a gas adsorbs and reacts on the surface of a solid [66-68], This information can be used, for instance, to determine the relative stability among different phases of a solid [69], Microcalorimetiy is also applicable in the measurement of the strengths and distribution of acidic or basic sites as well as for the characterization of metal-based catalysts [66-68], For instance, Figure 1.10 presents microcalorimetry data for ammonia adsorption on H-ZSM-5 and H-mordenite zeolites [70], clearly illustrating the differences in both acid strength (indicated by the different initial adsorption heats) and total number of acidic sites (measured by the total ammonia uptake) between the two catalysts. 

Autocatalysis happens when a reaction product, formed during reaction, acts as a catalyst which accelerates the progress of the reaction even at constant temperature. An example is the acid-catalysed saponification of various esters and related compounds. Autocatalytic reactions can be easily experimentally identified by means of differential thermal analysis methods. 

On the basis of an IR study of some s-triazines and HA systems, several authors reported that ionic bonding took place between a protonated secondary amino group of the s-triazine and a carboxylate anion on the HA [17,146,147]. Successive studies, mainly conducted by IR spectroscopy, confirmed previous results and also provided evidence for the possible involvement of the acidic phenol-OH of HA in the proton exchange of the s-triazine molecule [17, 146-150]. Differential thermal analysis (DTA) curves measured by Senesi and Testini [146, 147] showed an increased thermal stability of the HA-s-triazine complexes, thus confirming that ionic binding took place between the interacting products.
