The thermodynamic characteristics of adsorption (TCA) on the basal face of graphite have been calculated in terms of the semiempirical molecular statistical theory of adsorption for molecules of O , S , and Se containing heteroadamantanes of different structure and isostructural cyclohexane derivatives. The influence of the nature, number, and position of heteroatoms in the adamantane framework on the TCA values was studied in detail, which made it possible to predict the retention of the compounds considered on the surface of graphitized thermal carbon black under the conditions of equilibrium gas adsorption chroma tography. The introduction of each subsequent heteroatom into a polyheteroadamantane molecule makes a non additive contribution to the TCA values. The contributions of various fragments to the total adsorption energy were calculated by the TCA of isostructural heterocyclohexane molecules, and the most preferential orientations of the framework molecules of the adsorbates relative to the planar graphite surface were determined.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
