Nitrogen, physical properties

Ring- or side-chain fluoriaated nitrogen heterocycHcs have been iacorporated iato crop-protection chemicals, dmgs, and reactive dyestuffs. Key iatermediates iaclude fluoriaated pyridines, quiaolines, pyrimidines, and tria2iaes. Physical properties of some fluoriaated nitrogen heterocycHcs are Hsted ia Table 13. 

Mechanical Properties. Table 2 shows the physical properties of Teflon PEA (22,23). At 20—25°C the mechanical properties of PEA, EEP, and PTEE are similar differences between PEA and EEP become significant as the temperature is increased. The latter should not be used above 200°C, whereas PEA can be used up to 260°C. Tests at Hquid nitrogen temperature indicate that PEA performs well in cryogenic appHcations (Table 3).

Phosphorus compounds exhibit an enormous variety of chemical and physical properties as a result of the wide range ia the oxidation states and coordination numbers for the phosphoms atom. The most commonly encountered phosphoms compounds are the oxide, haUde, sulfide, hydride, nitrogen, metal, and organic derivatives, all of which are of iadustrial importance. The hahde, hydride, and metal derivatives, and to a lesser extent the oxides and sulfides, are reactive iatermediates for forming phosphoms bonds with other elements. Phosphoms-containing compounds represented about 6—7% of the compound hstiugs ia Chemical Abstracts as of 1993 (1). 

Coordination Compounds. A large number of indium complexes with nitrogen ligands have been isolated, particularly where Ir is in the +3 oxidation state. Examples of ammine complexes include pr(NH3)3] " [24669-15-6], prCl(NH3)] " [29589-09-1], and / j -pr(03SCF3)2(en)2]" [90065-94-4], Compounds of A/-heterocychc ligands include trans- [xCX py)][ [24952-67-8], Pr(bipy)3] " [16788-86-6], and an unusual C-metalated bipyridine complex, Pr(bipy)2(C, N-bipy)] [87137-18-6]. Isolation of this latter complex produced some confusion regarding the chemical and physical properties of Pr(bipy)3]3+ (167). 

Amine oxides, known as A[-oxides of tertiary amines, are classified as aromatic or aliphatic, depending on whether the nitrogen is part of an aromatic ring system or not. This stmctural difference accounts for the difference in chemical and physical properties between the two types. 

The physical properties of amine oxides are attributed to the semipolar or coordinate bond between the oxygen and nitrogen atoms with high electron density residing on oxygen. 

The physical properties of commercial alkoxysilanes are provided in Table 1. Two classes of silane esters have very distinct properties and are generally considered apart from alkoxysilanes. Sdatranes are compounds derived from trialkanolamines and have siHcon—nitrogen coordination. These are generally hydrolytically stable and have unique physiological properties (3). A second special class of monomeric esters are cycHc diesters of polyethyleneoxide glycols designated sila-crowns, which have appHcation as catalysts (4). Neither silatranes nor sila-crowns are considered herein. 

Important physical properties of catalysts include the particle size and shape, surface area, pore volume, pore size distribution, and strength to resist cmshing and abrasion. Measurements of catalyst physical properties (43) are routine and often automated. Pores with diameters <2.0 nm are called micropores those with diameters between 2.0 and 5.0 nm are called mesopores and those with diameters >5.0 nm are called macropores. Pore volumes and pore size distributions are measured by mercury penetration and by N2 adsorption. Mercury is forced into the pores under pressure entry into a pore is opposed by surface tension. For example, a pressure of about 71 MPa (700 atm) is required to fill a pore with a diameter of 10 nm. The amount of uptake as a function of pressure determines the pore size distribution of the larger pores (44). In complementary experiments, the sizes of the smallest pores (those 1 to 20 nm in diameter) are deterrnined by measurements characterizing desorption of N2 from the catalyst. The basis for the measurement is the capillary condensation that occurs in small pores at pressures less than the vapor pressure of the adsorbed nitrogen. The smaller the diameter of the pore, the greater the lowering of the vapor pressure of the Hquid in it. 

Properties. The physical properties of the mustards are summarized in Table 1. The sulfur mustards are only slightly soluble in water, whereas the nitrogen mustards are slightly soluble at neutral pH, but form water-soluble salts under acid conditions. Both sulfur and nitrogen mustards are extremely soluble in most organic solvents.

Oxa.mide. Oxamide [471 6-5] is a nonhygroscopic single compound. It has a molecular weight of 88.08, a nitrogen content of 31.8%, and is a white crystalline soHd with very limited solubiUty in water. Table 4 Hsts select physical properties. 

In general, pyridazine can be compared with pyridine. It is completely miscible with water and alcohols, as the lone electron pairs on nitrogen atoms are involved in formation of hydrogen bonds with hydroxylic solvents, benzene and ether. Pyridazine is insoluble in ligroin and cyclohexane. The solubility of pyridazine derivatives containing OH, SH and NH2 groups decreases, while alkyl groups increase the solubility. Table 1 lists some physical properties of pyridazine.
