Recombination of KrD and XeD ions with electrons

Recombination rate coefficients of protonated and deuterated ions KrH⁺, KrD⁺, XeH⁺ and XeD⁺ were measured using Flowing Afterglow with Langmuir Probe (FALP). Helium at 1600 Pa and at temperature 250 K was used as a buffer gas in the experiments. Kr, Xe, H₂ and D₂ were introduced to a flow tube to form the desired ions. Because of small differences in proton affinities of Kr, D₂ and H₂ mixtures of ions, KrD⁺/D₃⁺ and KrH⁺/H₃⁺ are formed in the afterglow plasma, influencing the plasma decay. To obtain a recombination rate coefficient for a particular ion, the dependencies on partial pressures of gases used in the ion formation were measured. The obtained rate coefficients, α_KrD+(250 K) = (0.9 ± 0.3) × 10⁻⁸ cm³ s⁻¹ and α_XeD+(250 K) = (8 ± 2) × 10⁻⁸ cm³ s⁻¹ are compared with α_KrH+(250 K) = (2.0 ± 0.6) × 10⁻⁸ cm³ s⁻¹ and α_XeH+(250 K) = (8 ± 2) × 10⁻⁸ cm³ s⁻¹.     

CO LMR spectrum of14N16O and its analysis with spectra of14N17O and14N18O

LMR spectra for v=1←0 transitions of¹⁴N¹⁶O in X²II_{1/2, 3/2} states were observed at 5.6 μm and 5.4 μm of CO laser. Introducing the advanced isotopic molecular constant scaling function to Hund’s case (a) diatomic structure model, these spectra were analyzed and fitted together with all reliable previous spectral data of¹⁴N¹⁶O as well as¹⁴N¹⁷O and¹⁴N¹⁸O. A full set of precise molecular parameters and their vibrational dependencies have been determined with much higher precision (1–2 orders for most parameters). Many of them have been obtained for the first time. Using isotopic scaling function, the molecular constants of¹⁴N¹⁷O and¹⁴N¹⁸O were deduced.     

Coordinate Structures of PrIII, GdIII, TmIII, and YbIII Complexes with Nitrilotriacetic Acids

The crystal and molecular structures of the [Pr^III(nta)(H₂O)₂]·H₂O (nta = nitrilotriacetic acids), K₃[Gd^III(nta)₂(H₂O)]·6H₂O, and K₃[Yb^III(nta)₂]·5H₂O complexes have been determined by single-crystal X-ray structure analyses. In [Pr^III(nta)(H₂O)₂]·H₂O, the Pr^IIINO₈ part forms a nine-coordinate pseudo-monocapped square antiprismatic structure in which one N and three O atoms are from one nta ligand in the same molecule, three O atoms from another nta ligand in the neighboring molecule and two O atoms from two coordinate water molecules. In K₃[Gd^III(nta)₂(H₂O)]·6H₂O, the [Gd^III(nta)₂(H₂O)^3- complex anion has a nine-coordinate pseudo-monocapped square antiprismatic structure in which each nta acts as a tetradentate ligand with one N atom of the amino group and three O atoms of the carboxylic groups. In K₃[Yb^III(nta)₂]·5H₂O, each nta also acts as a tetradentate ligand with one N atom of amino group and three O atoms of the carboxylic groups, but the [Yb^III(nta)₂ ^3- complex anion has an eight-coordinate structure with a distorted square antiprismatic prism. All the results including those for [Tm^III(nta)(H₂O)₂]·2H₂O confirm the inferences on the coordinate structures and coordination numbers of rare earth metal complexes with the nta ligand.     

Orthogonal Wavelets Analysis of Electroanalytical Signals

ABSTRACT

A signal processing technique based on orthogonal wavelet analysis is applied to process various simulated electroanalytical signals. The results indicate that if the scale parameters are selected, the orthogonal wavelet processing method (OWPM) can remove high-frequency noise. Experimental signal was recorded by computer and used to test the OWPM procedure. After processing with OWPM, the processed data was used to analyze the mechanism of the electrode reactions. Processed results of the experimental data are also satisfactory.     

Analytical methods to determine Po and Pb in marine samples

This paper describes the methods of sampling, preconcentration, chemical separation and final count of ²¹⁰Po and ²¹⁰Pb present in different marine matrices to determine their background levels in a marine ecosystem. Complex, time consuming and selective radioanalytical methods have been used to prepare final clear sources for alpha spectrometry and beta count; in fact, gamma spectrometry, a method direct and non destructive, cannot be taken into account because the ²¹⁰Pb activity is very low which does not allow to carry out sufficiently accurate measurements and ²¹⁰Po is not a gamma emitter but it emits only alpha particle at 5.40 MeV. The results of ²¹⁰Po and ²¹⁰Pb activity concentrations obtained in different marine samples collected in the first two campaigns are still very few to discuss about the ²¹⁰Po and ²¹⁰Pb behavior in marine environment.     

A kinetic study of the oxidation of hydroxamic acids by compounds I and II of horseradish peroxidase: Effect of transition metal ions

Abstract

Oxidation of hydroxamic acids (HXs) generates HNO, and it is not clear whether it is formed also in the presence of metal ions. The kinetics of the oxidation of HXs, such as acetohydroxamic acid, suberohydroxamic acid, and suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA), by compounds I and II of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) at pH 7.0 and 25?°C have been studied using rapid-mixing stopped-flow. The kinetics of these reactions were compared to those observed in the presence of Cu(ClO₄)₂, NiSO₄, or ZnSO₄. The rates decrease upon increasing [Cu^II] at constant [HXs], and no oxidation of HX occurs when [HX]/[Cu^II] ≈ 2, implying that HX oxidation in the presence of Cu^II proceeds through the free ligand since the predominant complex is CuX₂. In the case of Ni^II, the oxidation rate decreases upon increasing the ratio [Ni^II]/[HX] beyond 1, where the predominant complex is Ni^IIX⁺, implying that its oxidation is feasible. The effect of Zn^II could be studied only on the rate of HXs oxidation by compound II demonstrating similar behavior to that of Ni^II. HXs were also oxidized catalytically by HRP/H₂O₂ at pH 7.0, demonstrating that metal ions facilitate the formation of HNO while hardly affecting its yield and the extent of HX oxidation.     

The Synthesis of Dibenzo[3n]crown-n by Novel Methods and their Cation Binding Studied by Fluorescence Spectroscopy. Part IV

The dibenzo[3n]crown-n were synthesised from1,2-bis(o-hydroxyphenoxy)ethane obtained from 1,2-bis(o-formylphenoxy)ethane via Bayer-Willigeroxidations with H₂O₂/CH₃COOH in good yields. The cyclic condensation of 1,2-bis(o-hydroxyphenoxy)ethanewith dichlorides, and ditosylates of polyethylene glycols in DMF/Me₂CO₃ gave the macrocyclesdibenzo[15]crown-5, dibenzo[18]crown-6, dibenzo[21]crown-7 anddibenzo[24]crown-8. The structures were identified using IR, mass, ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy. Therecognition of the molecules for the cations, Li⁺, Na⁺, K⁺, Rb⁺ and Zn²⁺were conducted quantitatively with steady state fluorescencespectroscopy. The 1:1 association constants in acetonitrileshowed a good relation of the appropriate size of the macrocyclic ether towards the fitting cationradii. Namely, dibenzo[15]crown-5 was the best for Li⁺ binding and more than 100 times better thanNa⁺ and K⁺. Dibenzo[21]crown-7 was excellent for Rb⁺ binding while K⁺ is 100 timesless preferred. The largest crown ether studied, dibenzo[24]crown-8, exhibited the order of binding power,Rb⁺ > K⁺ > Na⁺. Zn²⁺ displayed, however, a marked binding with only dibenzo[18]crown-6.p>     

Rotational molecular motion and solvation of Na+ and Cs+ in water-dimethylacetamide. A nuclear magnetic relaxation study

Nuclear magnetic relaxation by intra- and intermolecular quadrupoleelectric field gradient interaction has been used for the study of the systems DMA-water-NaI and DMA-water-CsI at 25°C.¹⁴N relaxation of DMA and²H relaxation of D₂O measured over the complete mixture range reveal the behavior of the rotational molecular motion of the two solvent components. For both solvent components a marked maximum of the reorientational correlation time has been found, reflecting hydrophobic effects and strong DMA-water interaction. The quadrupolar relaxation rates of²³Na⁺ and¹³³Cs⁺ in pure DMA were evaluated giving an indication that the electric solvent dipoles in the solvation shell are not located on positions of cubic symmetry. A quantitative study of preferential solvation of the cations in the mixed solvent has been performed by using the H₂O-D₂O isotope effect on²³Na⁺ and¹³³Cs⁺ relaxation. For both cations an obviously typical change in the selectivity occurs. In the range l>x _{H2 O}>0.7 we find weak preferential hydration, but in the range 0.7>xH ₂ O>0 strong preferential solvation by DMA is reflected.     

The preparation and analysis of fluoro-polyphosphates by F, P, 2D F-P HETCOR and 2D P-P COSY NMR

A complex mixture of fluoro-polyphosphates (FPPs) and polyphosphates was prepared by heating a mixture of NaF and sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP) at 600 °C in nitrogen atmosphere. Two-dimensional ³¹P-¹⁹F heteronuclear correlation spectroscopy (HETCOR) NMR was developed in identifying the atomic connection between F and P in the mixed FPPs. ¹⁹F, ³¹P and ³¹P-³¹P correlation spectroscopy (COSY) NMR methods were employed to identify the components of the mixture and measure the chain length of each FPP ingredient. NMR results clearly demonstrated that the mixture contains four kinds of fluoro-phosphates with different chain length of polyphosphate, which are monofluoro-phosphate (MFP), monofluoro-dipolyphosphate (MFDPP), monofluoro-tripolyphosphate (MFTPP) and difluoro-tripolyphosphate (DFTPP). Other phosphates and polyphosphates also were found in the mixture.
