The Chemistry Of Trifluorothiolacetic Acid, Patricia Diane Weeks
The Chemistry Of Trifluorothiolacetic Acid, Patricia Diane Weeks
Dissertations and Theses
Addition reactions of perfluorothiolacetic acid (TFTAA) with organic and inorganic substrates were studied and six new compounds containing the trifluoroacetyl group have been prepared. Two types of reactions were observed, free radical and nucleophilic addition. Under the influence of ultraviolet light, TFTAA (CF₃COSH) adds to olefins to form 1:1 adducts. The CF₃COS• radical appears to be the adding species. Three new olefin adducts were prepared: CF₃COSCFHCF₂H, CF₃COSCH₂CF₂H, and CF₃COSCH₂CFH₂. In addition, this was found to be a new way to prepare CF₃COSCH₂CH₃, which had been previously prepared by another route. Physical constants, analytical data, infrared, ultraviolet, nmr and mass spectra …
Investigation Of The Alpha-Sub-Gamma Phase In Alnico 6, Cortez Samuel
Investigation Of The Alpha-Sub-Gamma Phase In Alnico 6, Cortez Samuel
Dissertations and Theses
The purpose of this research project was to study the αᵧ phase in Alnico 6. Other phases were studies for comparison. Also the effect of an applied magnetic field on the formation of the αᵧ phase was investigated.
Three single crystals of Alnico 6 were heat treated for one hour—one at 1250°C, one at 1000°C, and one at 800°C—and water-quenched. The microstructure of each sample was observed with the optical microscope, and X-ray diffraction patterns were taken to determine the crystal structure of the phases present.
Several single crystal samples of Alnico 6 were heat treated at 1000°C and furnace-cooled. …
