Title: Reaction calorimetry for coal chemistry and catalysis. Quarterly report, February 1, 1985-April 30, 1985. [Heats of immersion of triphenylsilanol and silica gel]

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5814679

Extension of the thermochemical approach to the study of hydrogen bond interactions on silica gel and its homogeneous analogue, triphenylsilanol, is presented here. This thermochemical study is analogous to that presented by R. Haaksma in previous reports (i.e., Annual Report August 1983 to July 1984). Heats of immersion were determined on the Setaram C-80 Tian-Calvet Calorimeter. While Haaksma used Dowex and p-toluene sulfonic acid as models for Broensted (proton transfer) processes in the thermochemical comparison, we are testing silica gel and triphenylsilanol as models for hydrogen bonding interactions. 9 refs., 3 figs., 5 tabs.
