Measurement of deuterium in water by the falling drop method

Summary The falling drop method for the isotopic analysis of water sample is fully described. The optimum parameters of the ultra thermostat, the micropipet, the drop size, and the dropping medium for maximum accuracy are discussed. The o-fluorotoluene used should be of the highest purity elsewhere non-reproducible results are obtained. The accuracy obtained is 0.001% up to 0.096 mole% D₂O and 0.01% up to 0.994 mole% D₂O, although the relative accuracy is the same ±1.4% through the whole calibration curve and is comparable with that of mass spectrometry.

Bestimmung von Deuterium in Wasser mit Hilfe der Methode des fallenden Tropfens

Zusammenfassung Das Verfahren wird beschrieben und die optimalen Arbeitsbedingungen diskutiert. Das als Medium verwendete o-Fluortoluol muß von höchster Reinheit sein, da sonst keine reproduzierbaren Ergebnisse erhalten werden. Die Genauigkeit beträgt 0,001%–0,096 Mol-% D₂O und 0,01%–0,994 Mol-% D₂O. Die relative Genauigkeit, die im gesamten Bereich ±1,4% beträgt, ist mit der von massenspektrometrischen Bestimmungen vergleichbar.

     

Atomic decomposition of identity: General formalism for population analysis and energy decomposition

The concept of “atomic resolution of identity” has been introduced, leading to a very simple general formalism for generating different decomposition schemes of molecular quantities. Thus, different population analysis and energy partitioning schemes can be treated as special cases of a common framework. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Quantum Chem, 2005     

Study of some reactions of ethyl 4-phenyl-3-benzoyl-2-pyrazoline-5-carboxylate

Several reactions of the pyrazoline 1a were investigated. With bromine water, potassium permanganate, hydrogen peroxide, or potassium hydroxide, different pyrazole derivatives were formed. While the reaction with hydroxylamine or some hydrazines gave the corresponding pyrazoline Schiff bases, with aroylhydrazines, pyrazole Schiff bases were formed.     

Linear and nonlinear optical analysis on semiorganic-proline cadmium chloride single crystal

In the current investigation,L-proline cadmium chloride monohydrate(LPCC) single crystal is grown by a slow solvent evaporation technique to identify its credibility for nonlinear optical device applications.The constituent elements of LPCC crystal are determined by the energy dispersive spectroscopic(EDS) technique.The single crystal x-ray diffraction technique is used to determine the structural dimensions of LPCC crystal.The UV-visible studies are carried out within a wavelength range of 200 nm–1100 nm to determine the optical transmittance of LPCC crystal.The linear optical parameters of LPCC crystal are evaluated using the transmittance data to discuss its importance for distinct optical devices.The Nd:YAG laser assisted Kurtz–Perry test is carried out to determine the enhancement in second harmonic generation efficiency of LPCC crystal with reference to KDP crystal.The Z-scan technique is employed to assess the third order nonlinear optical(TONLO) properties of LPCC crystal at 632.8 nm.The Z-scan data are utilized to evaluate the TONLO refraction,absorption and susceptibility of LPCC crystal.The color oriented luminescence behavior of LPCC crystal is investigated within a spectral range of 350 nm–700 nm.The dependence of dielectric constant and dielectric loss on temperature and frequency is evaluated through the dielectric measurement studies.     

The mixing advantage is less than 2

Corresponding to n independent non-negative random variables X ₁,...,X _n , are values M ₁,...,M _n , where each M _i is the expected value of the maximum of n independent copies of X _i . We obtain an upper bound for the expected value of the maximum of X ₁,...,X _n in terms of M ₁,...,M _n . This inequality is sharp in the sense that the random variables can be chosen so that the bound is approached arbitrarily closely. We also present related comparison results.      

One-pot combination of the Wittig olefination with oxidation, hydrogenation, bromination, and photocyclization reactions

Co-polycondensation of tetramethoxysilane, 2-diphenyl(phosphino)ethyltri(ethoxy)silane, and N-2-(aminoethyl)-3-aminopropyltri(methoxy)silane forms a heterogenized tertiary phosphine reagent (HPR) that reacts with benzyl chlorides and aldehydes to give alkenes. This Wittig condensation can be coupled, as a one-pot process, with hydrogenation, oxidation, bromination or photocyclization.
