Structural studies on the phase transition of rubidium formate

The thermal phase transition of rubidium formate, observed at 363 K, was studied by means of thermal analysis and X-ray diffraction method. The transition was found to be a reversible first-order transition. In the phase transition, the orthorhombic phase (Pca21) with lattice constants a=9.229(1), b=4.630(2) and c=7.408(2) A, was transformed to the monoclinic phase (P21/m) with one of a=4.6552(4), b=4.6528(7), c=7.5170(6) A and γ=97.610(6)°. The values of the enthalpy, ΔHtr, and entropy change, ΔStr, for the transition were 0.42±0.02 kJ mol-1 and 1.16±0.05 J K-1 mol-1, respectively. Although the relative positions of rubidium atoms hardly changed in the phases before, and after, the transition, the orientation of formate ions differed in both the phases. The values of ΔHtr and ΔStr seem to reflect a slight change of structure in the orientation of formate ions.

Thermal Stability of σ Complexes of Aromatic Dinitro Compounds with Alkali Metal Methylates

Thermal stability of σ complexes of 2,4-dinitroanisole, 2-methoxy-3,5-dinitrobenzamide, 2,4-dinitro-5- and 2,4-dinitro-6-methoxyanisole, and 1-methoxy-2,4-dinitronaphthalene with alkali metal methylates was studied by differential thermal analysis in combination with differential thermogravimetry. The temperature and heat of decomposition of these compounds depend on the nature of substituent in the anion of the σ complex and on the radius of the alkali metal cation. In the first step of the thermolysis the corresponding dinitrophenolates and dinitronaphtholates are formed. The final products of the thermolysis are alkali metal formates.

Novel Synthesis of Oxalate from Carbon Dioxide and Carbon Monoxide in the Presence of Caesium Carbonate

In the presence of caesium carbonate 1, the direct reaction of CO2 (110 atm) with CO (20 atm) results in reductive capture of CO2 to give caesium oxalate 2 in good yield at elevated temperature (380 deg C).
