Distinct Temperature Trends in the Uptake of Gaseous n-Butylamine on Two Solid Diacids.

ABSTRACT: Uptake coefficients of n-butylamine (BA) on solid succinic (SA) and glutaric acids (GA) from 298 to 177 K were measured using a newly combined Knudsen cell temperature-programmed desorption apparatus. The uptake coefficients on SA increase monotonically from (1.9 ± 0.5) × 10^-4 at 298 K to 0.14 ± 0.05 at 177 K (errors represent 2σ statistical errors, overall errors are estimated to be ±60%). This is consistent with a surface reaction mechanism to form solid aminium carboxylate. In contrast, the uptake coefficients on GA increase from 0.11 ± 0.04 at 298 K to 0.25 ± 0.04 at 248 K but then decrease to 0.030 ± 0.010 at 177 K. This unusual trend in temperature dependence of the uptake coefficient is due to formation of an ionic liquid (IL) layer upon the surface reaction of BA
