Some spectrofluorimetric applications of the cerium(IV)-cerium(III) system

Cerium(III) ions in dilute sulphuric acid medium exhibit a characteristic fluorescence which has its excitation maximum at 260 nm and its fluorescence emission maximum at 350 nm. By utilising the osmium-catalysed redox reaction between cerium(IV) and arsenic(III), microgram amounts of arsenic (7.5–37.5 μg) may be determined by spectrofluorimetric measurement of the ceriurm(III) produced. The principle may be applied to the determination of several other ions which cannot yet be determined by direct spectrofluorimetry, e.g.. Fe(II) (5.6–28 μg), oxalate (8.8–44μg). Osmium(VIII) (0.05–0.2 μg) and iodide (0.6–2.5 μg) may be determined by their catalytic action.     

Electrolytic methoxylation of 3,4-bis(hydroxymethyl) furan and synthesis of 4,5-bis-(hydroxymethyl) pyridazine

3,4-Bis(hydroxymethyl)furan was electrolytically methoxylated during intense cooling. 4,5-Bis(hydroxymethyl)pyridazine was obtained by reaction of the methoxylation product — 2,5-dimethoxy-3,4-bis (hydroxymethyl)-2,5-dihydrofuran — with hydrazine hydrate.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 10, pp. 1306–1307, October, 1970.
