Potassium ferrocyanide as a spectrophotometric reagent for the determination of uranium

Potassium ferrocyanide gives a colour reaction with U(VI), which is suitable for its determination. The complex absorbs in the wavelength range of 390–397 nm. The optimum pH range for colour development was 1.5–3.5. The molar absorptivity was found to be 4.65·10³ 1·mol^–1·cm^–1. Most of the anions up to 1000 g did not interfere.

Pulse radiolysis investigations on the reactions of primary radiolytic species of water with atropine

On pulse radiolysis of N₂O saturated aqueous solutions of atropine, an optical absorption band (_max at 320 nm,e=2.81·10³ dm³·mol^–1·cm^–1) was observed, which is assigned to the product of reaction of OH radicals with the solute. This absorption decayed following second order kinetics with a rate constant of 4.5·10⁸ dm³·mol^–1·s^–1. The rate constant for the reaction of OH radicals with atropine as estimated by following the build-up kinetics is 2.7·10⁹ dm³·mol^–1·s^–1. The H atoms also reacted with this compound to produce a transient absorption band behaving similarly to the one observed in the case of reaction with OH radicals. The transient species formed in both cases is assigned to a radical derived by H atom abstraction by H/OH radicals from the parent compound. This radical was unreactive towards 2-mercaptoethanol. e _aq ^– was found to react with atropine forming a transient band with _max at 310 nm (=3.55·10³ dm³·mol^–1). Its decay was also second order with a rate constant of 1.64·10⁹ dm³·mol^–1·s^–1. The bimolecular rate constant for the reaction of e _aq ^– with atropine as estimated from the decay of e _aq ^– absorption at 720 nm is 3.9·10⁹ dm³·mol^–1·s^–1. Specific one-electron oxidizing and reducing agents (such as Cl ₂ ^– , Tl²⁺, SO ₄ ^– and (CH₃)₂COH, CO ₂ ^– , respectively) failed to oxidize or reduce this compound in aqoues solutions. The radical anion of atropine formed by its reaction with e _aq ^– was found to reduce thionine and methyl viologen with bimolecular rate constant of 3.8·10⁹ and 3.2·10⁹ dm³·mol^–1·s^–1, respectively.

The cationic copolymerization products of poly (acrylamide-co-trimethylammoniumethylmethacrylate chloride (PTMAC) having cationic monomer percentages of 8%, 25%, and 50% as well as the cationic homopolymer, were characterized with respect to their molecular dimensions. The light-scattering and viscometric measurements were carried out for molecular weights ranging from 200 000 to 12 800 000 g/mol in 1 M NaCl solution at 25°C. It was possible to establish a relationship between the molecular weight and the two parameters: intrinsic viscosity and radius of gyration, for all four polymers.Rheological investigations of the flow properties in 1 M NaCl solution were also carried out using the polymer with a cationic monomer of 50% (PTMAC 50). Structure-property relationships were formulated which made it possible to describe and predict the shear viscosity, both in the zero-shear region (Newtonian region) and in the shear-dependent region (non-Newtonian region) as a function of the polymer concentration, the molecular weight, and shear rate.Abbreviations a exponent of the []-M relationship - A ₂ 2^nd virial coefficient/mol·cm³·g^–2 - AAm acrylamide - b slope of the flow-curve in the shear-rate dependent region - c concentration/g·cm^–3 - dn/dc refractive index increment/cm³·g^–1 - f function - K constant of the []-M relationship/cm³·g^t-1 - m _c proportion of cationic monomers/mol % - M molecular weight/g·mol^–1 - M _w weight-average molecular weight/g·mol^–1 - M _n number-average molecular weight/g·mol^–1 - NaCL sodium chloride - PAAm polyacrylamide - PS polystyrene - PTMAC poly(acrylamide-co-trimethylammoniumethylme thacrylate chloride) - R_G ^20.5 radius of gyration/nm - TMAC trimethylammoniumethylmethacrylate chloride - shear rate/s^–1 - critical shear rate/s^–1 - viscosity/Pa·s - 0 zero-shear viscosity/Pa·s - _s solvent viscosity/Pa·s - _sp specific viscosity - [] intrinsic viscosity/cm³·g^–1 - relaxation time/s

Deprotonated Amines Formed Through Coordination to Sulfur/Oxygen-Bridged Incomplete Cubane-Type Molybdenum Clusters

Oxygen/sulfur-bridged incomplete cubane-type molybdenum aqua clusters [Mo₃( ₃-S)(-X)(-S)₂(H₂O)₉]⁴⁺ (X=O, S) in hydrochloric acid react with dien (diethylenetriamine) to give [Mo₃( ₃-S)(-X)(-S)₂(dien^–)(dien)₂]Cl₃·nH₂O [1, X=O, n=3; 2, X=S, n=4; dien^–=NH₂(CH₂)₂NH(CH₂)₂NH^–], respectively, where each cluster has a deprotonated dien. The X-ray structural analysis of 1 revealed proton dissociation from an amino group of one of the three dien ligands: one Mo–N distance [1.987(4) Å] is clearly shorter than the other eight Mo–N distances [2.229(3)–2.276(3) Å]. The ¹H NMR spectra of the Mo–dien clusters 1 and 2 in D₂O show two well-resolved methylene proton signals in the 2.8- to 3.0-ppm region, which indicates that both deprotonated amines in 1 and 2 receive D⁺ ions from solvent D₂O. The factors for the proton dissociation are discussed.
