Thermodynamic properties of the system toluene-1,2-dichloroethane

Data on heats of mixing at 30 'C, vapor-liquid equilibrium, latent heats of vaporization at 686 mmHg, and vapor pressures for the system toluene-l,2-dichloroethane are presented.

Temperature dependence of chlorine NQR in 2-chloro 5-nitrobenzoic acid and 4-chloro 3-nitrobenzoic acid

Temperature dependence of chlorine nuclear quadrupole resonance in 2-chloro 5-nitrobenzoic acid and 4-chloro 3-nitrobenzoic acid has been investigated in the region 77° K to room temperature. No phase transition has been observed. The results are analysed to obtain the torsional frequencies and their temperature dependence. A nonlinear temperature dependence is obtained for the torsional frequencies.

Infrared and Raman spectra of 2,4-dithiobiuret and its normal vibrations

The infrared spectra of 2,4-dithiobiuret(DTB), N-deuterated dithiobiuret(DTB-d5) and the laser Raman spectrum of DTB are reported. Normal coordinate treatments of DTB and DTB-d5 have been carried out to aid the assignment of the vibrational frequencies. A trans—cis conformation is favoured for DTB molecule in the solid state.

Thermodynamic properties of toluene-1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane

Data on heats of mixing at 298.15 and 308.15 K, vaporliquid equilibria, latent heats of vaporization at 686 mmHg, and vapor pressures for the system toluene-1,1,2,2- tetrachloroethane are presented. The effect of alkyl substitution on heats of mixing is discussed.

Inhibitory action of norepinephrine on the induction of tryptophan-2,3-dioxygenase by cortisol: Mediation by the I-receptor

Induction of hepatic tryptophan-2,3-dioxygenase in rats by cortisol or corticosterone was inhibited on treatment with norepinephrine. The I-adrenergic blockers showed a small potentiating effect of the norepinephrine-mediated inhibition. The I-adrenergic blockers significantly reversed this inhibition, suggesting that norepinephrine acts Image the I-receptor in inhibition of the cortisol-mediated induction of this enzyme.

Storage stability of solid rocket fuels. 2. Effect of oxidizer loadings

Ageing behaviour, leading to ballistic changes, has been studied as a function of oxidizer loading in polystyrene/ammonium perchlorate solid-propellants. The ageing studies were carried out at 100 °C in air. Change in burning rate decreased as the oxidizer loading increased from 75 to 80%. The change in thermal decomposition rates both at 230 and 260 °C also decreased as the oxidizer loading in the propellants increased. The shapes of the plots of the changes in burning rate and thermal decomposition rate (230 and 260 °C) at different storage times for different oxidizer-loaded propellants seem to be exactly similar. These results lead to the conclusion that the thermal decomposition of the propellant may be responsible for bringing about the ballistic changes during the ageing process. Infrared studies of the binder portion of the aged propellant indicate that peroxide formation takes place during the course of ageing and that peroxide formation for a particular storage time and temperature increases as the loading decreases.
