Organometallic and surface chemistry of mixed-metal systems

Three new SO[sub 2] complexes of metal cluster compounds were prepared: [PPN][HFe[sub 3](CO)[sub 9]SO[sub 2]], and [PPN][sub 2][Ru[sub 3]CO[sub 9]SO[sub 2]] and [PPN][sub 2][Ru[sub 3](CO)[sub 7](SO[sub 2])[sub 3]]. The x-ray structures were determined for two of these and the transformation of bound SO[sub 2] to duster bound SO and S ligands was investigated

Mixed ionic and electronic conductivity in polymers

The conductivity of iodine-containing polymers was investigated and conductivity along polyiodide chains is implicated by the concentration dependence of the conductivity data and spectroscopic measurements. On the theoretical side, entropy based models were developed to describe ion motion in polymers

Interfacial ionic and electronic conductivity in polymers

New phosphazen-based ((NP(OR){sub x}(OC{sub 2}H{sub 4}SO{sub 3}Na){sub 2-x}){sub n}) single ion conductors were synthesized based on a polyphosphazene backbone and short-chain polyether sidechains, some of which are terminated with tetraalkylammonium groups. These materials are good anion conductors at room temperature. Related cation conductors were also prepared and characterized. Effects of interionic attractive interactions on the diffusion of a tracer were investigated theoretically. The results are relevant to ion pairing and trapping in polymer electrolytes

Mixed ionic and electronic conductivity in polymers

New polymer films were synthesized that are mixed ionic-electronic conductors. Preliminary ion transport measurements have been made on these materials in the reduced state where electronic conductivity is negligible. We also have made preliminary measurements of switching times for these materials. Theoretical studies have been performed ion pairing in insulating and electronically conducting films

Mixed ionic-electronic conduction and percolation in polymer electrolyte metal oxide composites. Final report

For any battery or electrochemical power source, it is necessary to optimize the performance of the electrolyte and the electrodes. While work on polymer solid electrolytes has advanced substantially, there are a number of very important and difficult issues involved in electrode optimization. The results from numerous experimental cells and whole-cell models (from Newman`s group at Berkeley) indicate that conduction within the polymer electrolyte phase of the composite is a major limiting factor for the attainment of suitable power densities. This project is aimed at understanding and optimizing both electronic and ionic conduction properties in composite electrode structures based on polymer electrolytes

Molecular Orbital Studies Of The Dipole Moments Of Methyl Substituted Amines, Phosphines, And Their Borane Adducts

The magnitudes and trends of the dipole moments of MexH3-xE and MexH3-xEBH3 (E = N, P; x = 0→3; Me = CH3) were investigated via CNDO-MO methods. Moments evaluated by the CNDO/2D approach reproduced the experimental data better than the strict CNDO/2 formalism. Transformation of the canonical CNDO/2 MO's to localized MO's (LMO's) permitted a partitioning of the total moments into bond moments, bond polarization moments, and lone pair moments. Values of the lone pair moments of the phosphines are calculated to be greater than those of the amines. Within the framework of the CNDO/2D approximation, coordination of BH3 to H3N involves a charge migration primarily between the N-bound and B-bound hydrogens (0.33e) while coordination to H3P is primarily P → B (0.27e). The covalent character of the BN and BP bonding LMO's is 46 and 61%, respectively. The CNDO molecular orbital results are in general agreement with Weaver and Parry's model for dipole moments and base strengths of amines and phosphines. © 1975.14C271280Presented at the XXV Annual Meeting of the Sociedade Brasileira para o Progresso da Ciencia.

The localization procedure follows the ERTS method (refs. 7a, c) and, furthermore, is faster than a similar sub-program LOCAL currently available from QCPE (no. 191). Incorporation of ORLOC into CINDOM or CNINDO (QCPE no. 141) involves the same changes as incorporation of LOCAL into CNINDO. Another significant advantage of ORLOC is that it does not require the introduction of any additional matrices as does LOCAL. ORLOC is also available from the author as an independent program requiring as input only the CMO's and coulomb repulsion integralsP.M.
