Notes:
The substitution reaction of hexachlorocyclotriphosphazene, N3P3Cl6, with phenol was performed to synthesize the partially substituted (phenoxy) chlorocyclotriphosphazenes, N3P3Cl6 - i(OC6H5)i, i = 1 - 6 by phase-transfer catalysis (PTC) in an organic phase/alkaline solution. The steric hindrance effect plays a crucial role in this reaction. The reaction system was controlled by both chemical kinetics and mass-transfer effects. The mass transfer of the catalyst between two phases was investigated by a pseudosteady-state liquid-liquid PTC (LLPTC) model. Also, the intrinsic reaction-rate constants of the series substitution and the overall mass-transfer coefficient of the catalyst from the organic phase to the aqueous phase were determined by a combined model. In addition, the corresponding energies, enthalpies, and entropies of activation of the series substitution were also estimated.
