Copper, nickel and aluminium derivatives of tetra-2,3-anthratetraazaporphin bearing different substituents in the anthracen part have been prepared. The absorption spectra of these substances in different solvents are given and compared with metal complexes of other linearly annellated tetraazaporphins. In the series of vanadyl complexes of tetraazaporphin (_max 597 nm), tetra-[1,2-(4-tert-butyl)-benzo]-tetraazaporphin (_max 698 nm), tetra-[2,3-(6-tert-butyl)-naphtho]-tetraazaporphin (_max 807 nm), tetra-2,3-(anthra)-tetraazaporphin (_max 932 nm), tetra-2,3-(tetraceno)-tetraazaporphin (_max 1055 nm), the absorption maxima of the Q-band are shifted per annellated benzene ring about 100 nm to longer wave lengths.

     

Substituent dependence of the d-d transition band in the electronic absorption spectra of arylferrocenes and the corresponding arylferricenium salts

The electronic absorption spectra of 22 arylferrocenes and their arylferricenium salts with pentacyanopropenide (PCNP) were recorded. The attemptedHammett correlation of _max of the d-d transition bands of arylferrocenes revealed that this band is substituent dependent only for strong electron-withdrawing substituents. Excellent correlation of _max of the d-d transition bands with ⁺ constants was found in the case of arylferricenium cations. Good correlations of _max was also found with theE _1/2 oxidation potentials measured by cyclic voltametry.

Substituentenabhängigkeit des d-d-Überganges in den Elektronenabsorptions-Spektren von Arylferrocenen und entsprechenden Arylferricenium-Salzen

Zusammenfassung Elektronenabsorptions-Spektren von 22 Arylferrocenen und ihren Arylferricenium-Pentacyanopropenid-Salzen wurden gemessen. VersuchteHammett-Korrelationen des längstwelligen d-d-Überganges (_max) zeigten, daß diese Bande nur von stark elektronenanziehende Substituenten abhängig ist. Im Fall der Arylferricenium-Kationen wurde eine ausgezeichnete Korrelation zwischen _max der d-d-Bande und den ⁺-Konstanten festgestellt. Eine gute Korrelation der _max-Werte wurde auch mit denE _1/2 Oxidationspotentialen gefunden, die durch cyclische Voltametrie meßbar sind.

Four simple and sensitive visible spectrophotometric methods (A-D) for the determination of nitrofurazone in bulk samples and pharmaceutical formulations are described. They are based on the formation of colored species by treating either its reduction product with 3-methylbenzothiazolin-2-one hydrazone in the presence of ferric chloride (method A: _max 600 nm) or its hydrolysis product with thiobarbituric acid (method B: _max 520 nm, 440 nm) or barbituric acid (method C: _max 400 nm) or by oxidizing it with excess N-bromosuccinimide and determining the consumed NBS using metol-isonicotinic acid hydrazide (method D: _max 620 nm).     

Unicyclic Graphs with Minimal Energy

If G is a graph and ₁,₂,..., _n are its eigenvalues, then the energy of G is defined as E(G)=|₁|+|₂|++| _n |. Let S _n ³ be the graph obtained from the star graph with n vertices by adding an edge. In this paper we prove that S _n ³ is the unique minimal energy graph among all unicyclic graphs with n vertices (n6).     

Spectrophotometric estimation of ketotifen fumarate in pharmaceutical formulations

Four simple and sensitive spectrophotometric methods (A–D) for the determination of Ketotifen fumarate in bulk samples and pharmaceutical formulations are described. They are based on the formation of coloured species by the coupling of the diazotised sulphanilamide with the drug (method A, _max 520 nm) or by oxidizing it with excessN-bromo-succinimide and determining the consumed NBS with decrease in colour intensity of celestine blue (method B: _max 540 nm) or by the reduction of Folin-Ciocalteau reagent (method C: _max 720 nm) or by the formation of a chloroform-soluble, coloured ionassociation complex between the drug and Azocarmine G at pH 1.5 (method D: _max 540 nm). Regression analysis of Beer-Lambert plots showed good correlations in the concentration ranges 1–10, 2–12, 4–28 and 2.5–25 g/ml for methods A–D, respectively. The validity of the proposed methods was tested by analysing pharmaceutical formulations containing KTF: the relative standard deviations were within ±1.0%. Recoveries were 98.9–100.2%.     

Study of colour-developing factors in spectrophotometric determination of cyanide by the pyridine-barbituric acid method

Summary The decomposition of cyanide-pyridine-barbituric acid in the wavelength around _max=583 nm gives rise to formation of a new color species around _max=490nm. Both reactions are first-order reactions with the same K value of 0.066 hr^–1, but with opposite sign. The pH value, the nature and concentration of the buffer solution influence absorption to a considerable extent. A method for estimation of cyanide is suggested.

The phenomenon of conglomerate crystallization. XX. Spontaneous resolution in coordination compounds. XVIII.

The title compound, [cis-Co(en)₂(NO₂)₂](NO₂) (1), crystallizes in the polar, nonenantiomorphic, monoclinic space group, Cc, with lattice constants:a=9.198(2) Å,b=12.444(2),c=9.963(3), and=96.76(2)°;V=1132.39 ų andd(calc;Z=4) =1.860 g cm^–3. Thus, with NO_2– as the counteranion, [cis-Co(en)₂(NO₂)₂] crystallizes in a heterochiral lattice containing racemic pairs of cations. A total of 2699 data were collected over the range of 4°270°; of these, 1859 (independent and withI3(I)) were used in the structural analysis. Data were corrected for absorption (=15.465 cm^–1) and the relative transmission coefficients ranged from 0.9934 to 0.7112. Refinement was carried out for both lattice polarities and the finalR(F) andR _w (F) residuals were, respectively, 0.0242 and 0.0202 for (–––) and 0.0264 and 0.0243 for (+++). Thus, the former was selected as correct for our specimen.Unlike all previous X-ray diffraction studies of the structural properties of the cation [cis-Co(en)₂(NO₂)₂]⁺, which are found to have a pair of oppositely configured en rings [i.e., () or ()], we find that in1 the cations are in the lowest energy conformation and configuration; i.e., () or (). We attribute this change in configuration to the formation of strong interionic hydrogen bonds between nitrite anion oxygens and the axial—NH₂ hydrogens, which markedly weaken the intermolecular and intramolecular hydrogen bonds between ligand—NO₂ oxygens and the hydrogens of those same amine moieties. Thus, the nitrite anions behave exactly as nitrate anions, except that the hydrogen bonds found here are stronger than those formed by the latter. This is as expected since the negative charge is delocalized over two, instead of three, oxygens.     

Pressure and temperature effects on the excess deuteron and proton conductance

The limiting molar conductances ° of deuterium chloride DCl in D₂O were determined as a function of pressure and temperature in order to examine the proton-jump mechanism in detail. The excess deuteron conductances °_E(D ⁺), as estimated by the equation [°_E(D ⁺) = °(DCl/D ₂ O) – °(KCl/D ₂ O)], increases with an increase in the pressure and temperature as well as the excess proton conductance [°_E(H ⁺) = °(HCl/H ₂ O) – °(KCl/H ₂ O)]. The isotope effect on the excess conductances, however, depends on the pressure and temperature contrary to the model proposed by Conway et al.: °_E(H ⁺)/°_E(D ⁺) decreases with increasing pressure and temperature. The magnitude of the decrease with pressure becomes more prominent at lower temperature. These results are discussed in terms of the pre-rotation of adjacent water molecules, the bending of hydrogen bonds with pressure, and the difference in strength of hydrogen bonds between D₂O and H₂O.     

Spectrophotometric methods for the determination of labetalol hydrochloride in pure and dosage forms

Simple and sensitive Spectrophotometric methods for the determination of labetalol hydrochloride are described. The first two are based on the oxidative coupling reaction of labetalol hydrochloride withp-N,N-dimethyl-phenylenediamine dihydrochloride (method A, _max 685 nm) and 3-methyl-2-benzothiazolinone hydrazone hydrochloride (method B, _max 545 nm) in the presence of sodium hypochlorite and eerie ammonium sulphate as oxidants, respectively. The third depends on the formation of an ion-association complex of labetalol hydrochloride with suprachen violet 3B at pH 1.3, which is extracted into chloroform (method C, _max 565 nm). The methods obey Beer's law and the precision and accuracy of the methods were checked against the B.P. reference method and the relative standard deviations were in the range 0.35–0.52%. These methods are applied to the determination of labetalol in dosage forms.     

Elastizitätsmodul und Dichte von kaltverstrecktem und druckbehandeltem Polyäthylen

Zusammenfassung Proben aus Polyäthylen hoher Dichte wurden bei Raumtemperatur mit verschiedenen Geschwindigkeitenv _ver auf einer Zugprüfmaschine verstreckt. Beiv _ver 10 mm/min beobachtet man eine fast isotherm verlaufende inhomogene Deformation, die zu Verstreckungsgraden=8–13 und mittleren Dichten = 0.80 g/cm³ in den verstreckten Probenbereichen führt. Die bei höherenv _ver bis zu 50 mm/min eintretende adiabatische Erwähnung ergibt höhere Verstreckungsgrade=13–18 und geringere Dichten = 0.64 g/cm³. Es existiert kein natürlicher Verstreckungsgrad. Der Dichteabfall mit zunehmendem kann durch eine Gerade repräsentiert werden; der ElastizitätsmodulE ergibt eine mit zunehmende Kurve.Nach einer Druckbehandlung der Proben mit 5600 bar bei Raumtemperatur erreichte ihre Dichte fast wieder den Anfangswert vor der Verstreckung, wobei keine Abhängigkeit von oder anderen Parametern zeigte. Der ModulE hatte zugenommen, aber nicht proportional zur Dichte. Der Vergleich von undE verstreckter Proben vor und nach der Druckbehandlung weist auf den Netzwerkcharakter von kaltverstrecktem Polyäthylen hin.Herrn Prof. Dr. K. Ueberreiter zum 70. Geburtstag gewidmet.     

Molecular orientation in hot-drawn poly(ethylene terephthalate) films as determined from the intrinsic polarized fluorescence

The groundstate-stable dimers in the non-crystalline regions of uniaxially drawn poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) films were used as chain-intrinsic fluorescent labels for studying the orientation distribution in the non-crystalline regions. As far as indicated by the spectra and the fluorescence decay law, the fluorescent group remains unchanged when the sample is uniaxially oriented by drawing above the glass transition temperature. In contrary to the behaviour of physically incorporated probe molecules, the orientation coefficient f ₂ ^F of the dimers is proportional to the amorphous orientation coefficientf ₂ ^A ; concerning the fluorescence signal, amorphous includes all the material outside the perfect crystal.During deformation, the orientation coefficientf ₂ ^F follows approximately a superposition curve of crystallite-like orientation, separable in the initial range of stretching ratio <2.5, and of true-amorphous orientation of the affine network type that becomes noticably at >3.At temperatures closely aboveT _g, and within the selected range of stretching parameters, the fluorescence intensity of PET remains nearly constant with increasing stretching ratio; at >2.5, where the maximum crystallite orientation is achieved and the increase of amorphous orientation becomes noticably, a slight augmentation of the dimer concentration is observed.     

Kinetics of Detonation Initiation in the Supersonic Flow of the H2 + O2 (Air) Mixture in O2 Molecule Excitation by Resonance Laser Radiation

The possibility of initiating detonation in the supersonic flow of the H₂ + O₂ (air) mixture behind the front of the inclined shock wave by O₂ molecule excitation to the O₂(a ¹_g) and O₂(b ¹·⁺ _g) states by laser radiation with a wavelength _I = 1.268 m and 762 nm is considered. Resonance laser radiation intensifies chain combustion due to the formation of new pathways for generating active atoms O^· and H^· and radicals OH and has a substantially nonthermal character. Even at low (3 kJ/cm²) energies of radiation with _I = 762 nm applied to the gas, detonation combustion can occur even at a distance of 1 m from the front at the gas temperature as high as 600 K.

Evaluation of single-ion conductances in nonaqueous solvents at 25°C by the use of tetrabutylammonium tetrabutylboride as a reference electrolyte

Precise conductances for tetrabutylammonium tetrabutylboride (Bu₄NBBu₄) at 25°C have been measured in a number of nonaqueous solvents, and the data have been analyzed by the 1957 Fuoss-Onsager conductance equation. Limiting ion conductances for the Bu₄N⁺ ion at infinite dilution ₀(Bu ₄ N ⁺) in various solvents have been evaluated by dividing ₀ values of the salt into two equal parts. The ₀(Bu ₄ N ⁺) values so obtained are in fairly good agreement (within±0.1–3.5%) with the corresponding values determined from direct transference number measurements in these solvents.

Spectrophotometric determination of clozapine in pharmaceuticals

New Spectrophotometric methods for the assay of clozapine (CZP) in pure and dosage forms are described. Method A is based on the oxidative coupling reaction of CZP with 3-methyl-2-benzothiazolinone hydrazone hydrochloride (MBTH) in the presence of ceric ammonium sulphate to form a coloured species (_max 570 nm). Method B is also based on the oxidative coupling reaction of CZP withP-,N,N-dimethylpheny-lenediamine dihydrochloride (DMPD) in the presence of sodium hypochlorite to form a coloured species (_max 690 nm). Method C is based on the formation of coloured charge-transfer complex between CZP and chloranilic acid (_max 540 nm). Regression analysis of Beer-Lambert plots showed good correlation in the concentration ranges 2–25, 10–120 and 15–300 g/ml for methods A, B and C, respectively. The validity of the proposed methods was tested by analysing pharmaceutical dosage forms containing CZP and the relative standard deviation values were within 1.0%.     

Sensitive spectrophotometric methods for the determination of pindolol

Two simple, sensitive and reproducible visible spectrophotometric methods for the determination of Pindolol in amounts as low as 1 g are described. The first method is based on the oxidation of Pindolol by sodium nitrite under acidic conditions and the coupling of the oxidised intermediate withN-1-(naphthyl)ethylenediamine dihydrochloride (NED) to the colored product. The spectrum of the colored solution is strongly dependent on the length of the incubation period at room temperature during oxidation (3 min, _max 620 nm; 10 min or above _max 540 nm). Other couplers [diphenylamine (DPA) or 1-naphthylamine (-NA)] or indole derivatives (indole, tryptophan or isatin) when used instead of NED or Pindolol, respectively, also react to give a colored product with same maximum in each case irrespective of the length of the incubation period during oxidation. The second method is based on the coupling reaction involving Pindolol and 1,2-naphthaquinone-4-sulphonic acid sodium salt to form a coloured product (_max 660 nm). Both the methods have been employed to determine Pindolol content in bulk forms and pharmaceutical preparations.
