Electron capture detector performance parameters in view of the response presentation forms

Summary Four most frequently used presentation forms of the ECD response are described. Equations describing the dependence of the sensitivity, linearity and minimum detectable concentration of the ECD working under constant frequency mode of operation on the pulse period are derived from Wenthworth’s kinetic model for all four forms mentioned above. The forms presented are compared on the basis of equations derived. Results of the calculations are given and some predictions are experimentally tested for sulphur hexafluoride. Good agreement was found between the predicted and observed relationships. Presented at the 15th International Symposium on Chromatography, Nürnberg, October 1984     

Removal of major interference sources in aqueous near-infrared spectroscopy techniques

This work describes a hybrid procedure for eliminating major interference sources in aqueous near-infrared (NIR) spectra, that include aqueous influence, noise, and systemic variations irrelevant to concentration. The scheme consists of two parts: extension of wavelet prism (WPe) and orthogonal signal correction (OSC). First, WPe is employed to remove variations due to aqueous absorbance and noise; then OSC is applied to remove systemic spectral variations irrelevant to concentration. Although water possesses strong absorption bands that overshadow and overlap the absorption bands of analytes, along with noise and systematic interference, successful calibration models can be generated by employing the method proposed here. We show that the elimination of major interference sources from the aqueous NIR spectra results in a substantial improvement in the precision of prediction, and reduces the required number of PLS components in the model. In addition, the strategy proposed here can be applied to various analytical data for quantitative purposes as well.     

DETERMINATION OF DEGREE OF CRYSTALLINITY OF NYLON 1212 BY WIDE-ANGLE X-RAY DIFFRACTION

Based on the X-ray scattering intensity theory and using the approximate expression for the atomic scattering factor, the correction factors for three crystalline peaks and an amorphous peak of Nylon 1212 were calculated and the formula of degree of crystallinity of Nylon 1212 was derived by a graphic multipeak resolution method. The degree of crystallinity calculated from the WAXD method is compatible with those obtained by density and calorimetry methods.     

Correlated intermolecular interaction components from asymptotically corrected Kohn-Sham orbitals

In these years there was considerable interest inunderstanding of intermolecular forces in energetic(explosive) systems[1—3]. The supermolecular approach(SM) is widely adopted for calculating ab initio in-termolecular interactions. Nevertheless, it is unable toprovide physically meaningful interaction contribu-tions such as electrostatic, induction, repulsion anddispersion energies. In contrast, the symmetry-adaptedperturbation theory (SAPT)[4—8] has the ability to de-rive these correlated…

Theoretical study on the molecule C30H20: five carbon–carbon single bonds linking a dodecahedrane cage and a pentaprismane cage

Using geometry optimization and DFT method at the B3LYP/6-31G* level of theory for C₃₀H₂₀, an equilibrium geometry is identified that has the form of polyhedral hydrocarbon with five carbon–carbon single bonds linking a dodecahedrane cage and a pentaprismane cage. Thus, this molecule is a tri-cage molecule with two pentaprismane cages and one dodecahedrane cage. Vibrational frequencies and the infrared spectrum are computed at the same level of theory. The heat of formation for C₃₀H₂₀ has been estimated in this paper. The heat of formation of C₃₀H₂₀ as well as the vibrational analysis indicates that this molecule enjoys sufficient stability to allow for its experimental preparation.     

RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN X—H STRETCHING OVERTONE FREQUENCIES AND BOND LENGTHS/BOND ANGLES

A relationship between the X-H (X = N, O, C, and so on) equilibrium bond length in a Morse oscillator and the X-H stretching overtone frequency shifts is obtained theoretically. We use the equation to discuss the empirical linear relationships that have been proposed for heterocyclics, alkanes and fluorinated benzenes. On the other hand, a unified relationship between the X-H bond angles and the experimental quantities (ω(?) and the coupling strength λ) is also presented for XH2, XH, and XH4 molecules or molecular fragments. Calculations of X-H bond angles for a number of molecules show that the results from our equations are in excellent agreement with the experimental values. Also we can extract the information of relative magnitude of bond coupling force field.
