Pressurized wet digestion in open vessels

The High Pressure Asher (HPA-S) was adapted with a Teflon liner for pressurized wet digestion in open vessels. The autoclave was partly filled with water containing 5% (vol/vol) hydrogen peroxide. The digestion vessels dipped partly into the water or were arranged on top of the water by means of a special rack made of titanium or PTFE-coated stainless steel. The HPA-S was closed and pressurized with nitrogen up to 100 bars. The maximum digestion temperature was 250 °C for PFA vessels and 270 °C for quartz vessels. Digestion vessels made of quartz or PFA-Teflon with volumes between 1.5 mL (auto sampler cups) and 50 mL were tested. The maximum sample amount for quartz vessels was 0.5–1.5 g and for PFA vessels 0.2–0.5 g, depending on the material. Higher sample intake may lead to fast reactions with losses of digestion solution. The samples were digested with 5 mL HNO₃ or with 2 mL HNO₃+6 mL H₂O+2 mL H₂O₂. The total digestion time was 90–120 min and 30 min for cooling down to room temperature. Auto sampler cups made of PFA were used as digestion vessels for GFAAS. Sample material (50 mg) was digested with 0.2 mL HNO₃+0.5 mL H₂O+0.2 mL H₂O₂. The analytical data of nine certified reference materials are also within the confidential intervals for volatile elements like mercury, selenium and arsenic. No cross contamination between the digestion vessels could be observed. Due to the high gas pressure, the diffusion rate of volatile species is low and losses of elements by volatilisation could be observed only with diluted nitric acid and vessels with large cross section. In addition, cocoa, walnuts, nicotinic acid, pumpkin seeds, lubrication oil, straw, polyethylene and coal were digested and the TOC values measured. The residual carbon content came to 0.2–10% depending on the sample matrix and amount.

Darstellung, 19F-NMR-spektroskopischer Nachweis und Untersuchung zur Bildung der metallgemischten Clusteranionen [(Mo6−nWnCl)F]2−, n = 0−6

Preparation, ¹⁹F NMR Spectroscopic Evidence and Study of the Formation of Metal-Mixed Cluster Anions [(Mo_6?nW_nCl )F ]^2?, n = 0?6 The complete system of metal-mixed octahedral cluster ions [(Mo_6?nW_nCl)F]^2?, n = 0?6, is prepared by tempering Mo powder with WCl₆ at 600°C. A mixture containing inclusively the geometric isomers (n = 2, 3, 4) all ten possible species is transferred into the tetra-n-butylammonium salts (TBA)₂[(Mo_6?nW_nCl)F]. In the ¹⁹F nmr spectrum the 24 expected signals are observed, assigned on the basis of their chemical shifts, multiplicities and intensities, and confirmed by a 2D-¹⁹F-¹⁹F COSY spectrum. From the integrated intensities the distribution of the different components is derived revealing a non-statistical formation, in that isomers with Mo…?Mo or W…?W atoms in trans-positions in comparision to those with mixed Mo…?W axes are favoured, and that especially the homoleptic compounds Mo₆ and W₆ are present to an over-average extent. Evaluation of ¹⁹F chemical shifts reveals that F bound to W which is in antipodal position to Mo resonates at higher field compared to F bound to W in a W…?W arrangement, caused by an increased shielding, which is synonymous to a positive antipodal-effect by Mo. Vice versa F bound to Mo with an antipodal W resonates at lower field compared with F bound to Mo in an Mo…?Mo arrangement caused by an increased deshielding and synonymous a negative antipodal-effect by W. The chemical shifts, resulting from antipodal-effects, are different for the compounds within the [(Mo_6?nW_nCl)F]^2? - system. The difference of the antipodal effect of successive substitution products results in characteristic values designated as antipodal shift constants, depending on the kind of substituents, which is valid for other cluster systems, too.     

Automated determination of verapamil and norverapamil in human plasma with on-line coupling of dialysis to high-performance liquid chromatography and fluorometric detection

A fully automated method for the simultaneous determination of verapamil and its main metabolite norverapamil in human plasma is described. This method is based on on-line sample preparation using dialysis followed by clean-up and enrichment of the dialysate on a precolumn and subsequent HPLC analysis with fluorometric detection. All sample handling operations were performed automatically by a sample processor equipped with a robotic arm (ASTED system). The plasma samples were dialysed on a cellulose acetate membrane (cut-off: 15 kD) and the dialysate was purified and enriched on a short pre-column filled with cyanopropyl silica. Before starting dialysis, this trace enrichment column (TEC) was first conditioned with the HPLC mobile phase and then with pH 3.0 acetate buffer. 370 μl of plasma sample spiked with the internal standard (gallopamil) were dialysed in the static-pulsed mode. The solution at the donor side was pH 3.0 acetate buffer containing Triton X-100 while the acceptor solution was made of the same acetate buffer. When dialysis was discontinued, the analytes were desorbed from the TEC by the HPLC mobile phase and transferred to the C₁₈ analytical column by means of a switching valve. This mobile phase consisted of a mixture of acetonitrile, pH 3.0 acetate buffer and 2-aminoheptane. The influence of different parameters of the dialysis process on the recovery of verapamil and norverapamil has been studied. The effect of the volume, the aspirating and dispensing flow-rates of the dialysis solution has been investigated. The recoveries of verapamil and norverapamil in plasma were close to 75% and the limits of quantification were 5 ng/ml for both analytes. The method was found to be linear in the concentration range from 5 to 500 ng/ml (r²: 0.9996 for both analytes). The intra-day and inter-day reproducibilities at a concentration of 100 ng/ml were 2.3% and 5.6% for verapamil and 1.7% and 5.1% for norverapamil, respectively.     

Synthesis and Structure of the Centered Cluster Compound Ba3(Zr6Cl18Be)

Reaction of powdered Zr with ZrCl₄, BaCl₂ and Be in suitable proportions in a Ta container at 800°C produces the title compound. Suitable monocrystals for X-ray diffraction were obtained from reactions to which a comparable amount of Hg₂Cl₂ had been added. The structure of Ba₃Zr₆Cl₁₈Be is a superstructure of the K₂ZrCl₆ · Zr₆Cl₁₈H type (R3 c, Z = 6; a = 9.6852 (9) Å, c = 52.52 (1) Å; R, R_w = 2.7, 3.2% for 826 independent reflections, 2θ ≤ 50°). Trigonally compressed [Zr₆(Be)Cl₁₂ⁱ]Cl₆^a clusters are interconnected by six-coordinate barium atoms that lie in Cl^a antiprisms (a twisted version of the Zr^IV site) while (9 + 3)-coordinate barium substitutes for potassium within chlorine layers. Distortions associated with the size and field of barium are responsible for the superstructure and for differences from other analogues.     

Synthesis,crystal structure,magnetism, and absorption spectra of A2UX5 Type Halides (A = K,Rb; X = Cl,Br, I)

The ternary uranium(III) halides A₂UX₅ (A = K, Rb; X = Cl, Br, I) have been prepared from the binary components AX and UX₃ in sealed tantalum containers. According to their Guinier X-ray powder patterns, they all crystallize with the K₂PrCl₅/Y₂HfS₅ type of structure. Lattice constants for ambient temperature are reported. Single-crystal structure refinemens were undertaken for K₂UI₅ and Rb₂UCl₅. Magnetic susceptibility data were recorded with a SQUID magnetometer from liquid helium to room temperature. One-dimensional (intrachain) and three-dimensional antiferromagnetic ordering occur at low temperatures dependent upon the U³⁺? U³⁺ distance. Absorption spectra were recorded between 4 000 and 28 000 cm^?1. They show f—f transitions typical for U³⁺ and, depending on the halide, very strong f—d transitions above 14 000 to 15 000 cm^?1, respectively.     

Sample evaporation in conventional GC split/splitless injectors. Part 1: Some quantitative estimates concerning heat consumption during evaporation

During sample evaporation in conventional vaporizing injection, the supply of heat to the evaporating liquid is a problem, first because the amounts of heat consumed are relatively large and, secondly, because the heat must be transferred to the sample within a very short time. Times available for evaporation, required amounts of heat, possible sources of heat, and the time required to transfer the heat to the sample liquid are discussed. It is shown that mixing with carrier gas contributes little heat to the evaporation process, but also that packings with glass wool have too low a heat capacity to deliver the required amount of heat to the evaporating sample. Transfer of heat from the insert wall to the sample easily requires several seconds, even if cooling of the vaporizing zone by 20° is accepted. Thus “flash evaporation” is usually impossible and most liquids must be held in the vaporizing chamber to allow full evaporation.
