Two-step photoionization of Na2: dependence on alignment

Laser light is used for two-step photoionization of Na₂. the first step depends on the moleculer orientation, the second step doesnot. This yields a method for the analysis of molecular alignment.     

Kinetik und mechanismus der elektrochemischen reduktion von 2,2′-dipyridyl I. Primärprozesse: Vorgelagerte isomerisierung eines komplexes

Polarography and chronopotentiometry are used to study the primary processes of the reduction of 2,2′-bipyridine at mercury electrodes in aqueous solutions (12 < pH < 14). Bipyridine and its first reduction product are strongly adsorbed. The reduction is preceded by a complex equilibrium between bipyridine and the cation of the supporting electrolyte (Li, Na, K, Ba). Due to the great excess of the cations, the equilibrium is shifted completely to the side of the complex, which exists as cis- and trans-isomer. The cis-form is more stable, forming a chelate, the trans-form however is more easily reducible. The kinetic and thermodynamic data of the isomerization are determined. The first reduction product reacts irreversibly giving a substance which can be reoxidized to bipyridine via a radical intermediate.     

Über die adrenale Steroid-Biosynthese in vitro. III. Selektive Hemmung der Nebennierenrinden-Funktion

The possibility is discussed of inhibiting the adrenocortical functions either selectively or preferentially by blocking the hydroxylations in positions 11β, 17α, 18 and 19 of the steroid nucleus or in 20α, 21 and 22 of the side chain, which are necessary for the formation of the individual corticosteroids from cholesterol. Many compounds with or without other biological activities, such as o,p′-DDD, Amphenone B, various blockers of cholesterol biosynthesis, heparinoids and various heterocyclic compounds, are shown to be devoid of a specific blocking activity on the adrenal cortex in vitro. However, amongst a large group of glutaric imides a few compounds proved to be active, mainly by blocking the 20α-hydroxylation of cholesterol, the most active being a cyclic hydrazide; the secretion in vivo of corticosteroids greatly decreased in response to 3–20 mg/kg. A new class of compounds active in vitro was found among simple imidazole derivatives, which block 17α, 18 and 19-hydroxylation.     

Synthese von 2-methylalanin-peptiden,die pH-Abhängiggkeit ihrer 13C-NMR-spektren und eine neue methode zur auswertung über CS-diagramme

The uncommon amino-acid 2-methylalanine (α-aminoisobutyric acid, Aib) was investigated by ¹³C-NMR. The chemical shifts of amino- or carboxy-protected derivatives of Aib and of protected oligopeptides are discussed with respect to neighbouring groups and amino acids. The pH-dependence of the ¹³C-NMR spectra of Aib, Aib-Ala, Ala-Aib, Aib-Ala-Aib and Aib-Ala-Aib-Ala-Aib was studied. Using these examples, a new and advantageous method is demonstrated for the first time for the evalutions of NMR titration curves, which uses so-called chemical shift diagrams (CS diagrams).     

Assignment of 15N-NMR resonances of vitamin B12 analogues by 2D-[15N, 1H] long-range correlation: Fully [15N]-labelled Co-β-cyano-5-hydroxybenzimidazoylcobamide (factor III) and derivatives

The ¹⁵N-NMR spectra of vitamin B₁₂ analogues obtained in fully ¹⁵N-labelled form have been measured by direct and inverse (¹⁵N, ¹H) correlated spectroscopy. All resonances, except those of the NH₂ groups, have been assigned to individual N-atoms. The influences on δ (N) are analyzed and discussed which are caused by changing the α-face ligand from CN to H₂O or CH₃ and by switching the β-face ligand from the base-on to the base-off state. An implication of the correct resonance assignment on biosynthetic pathways is demonstrated.     

Verdampfung von Uranspaltprodukten in Wasserstoff, Stickstoff und Sauerstoff

Zusammenfassung Die Verdampfung der Spaltprodukte Germanium, Arsen, Molybdän, Ruthenium, Cadmium, Zinn, Antimon und Tellur aus bestrahltem U₃O₈ im Wasserstoff-, Stickstoff- und Sauerstoffstrom wurde zwischen 900 und 1500° C untersucht. Bei 1500° C verdampfen die meisten dieser Elemente innerhalb 1 Std mit hoher Ausbeute.

Summary The volatization of the fission products germanium, arsenic, molybdenum, ruthenium, cadmium, tin, antimony and tellurium from neutron-irradiated uranium oxide in flowing hydrogen, nitrogen or oxygen of atmospheric pressure was investigated between 900 and 1500° C. At 1500° C, most of these elements are volatized with high yield within one hour.
