Flat Information Geometries in Black Hole Thermodynamics

The Hessian of either the entropy or the energy function can be regarded as a metric on a Gibbs surface. For two parameter families of asymptotically flat black holes in arbitrary dimension one or the other of these metrics are flat, and the state space is a flat wedge. The mathematical reason for this is traced back to the scale invariance of the Einstein–Maxwell equations. The picture of state space that we obtain makes some properties such as the occurence of divergent specific heats transparent.Supported by VR.

Ab initio calculations of vibronic activity in phosphorescence microwave double resonance spectra of p-dichlorobenzene

The phosphorescence spectrum of p-dichlorobenzene has been calculated using multiconfiguration self-consistent-field wave functions and the quadratic response technique. Attention has been paid to the intensity distribution of the singlet–triplet (³B_1u¹A_g) transition through a number of vibronic subbands. The second order spin–orbit coupling (SOC) contribution to the spin splitting of the ³B_1u (^3*) state is found to be almost negligible, and the calculations therefore provide a good estimate for the zero-field splitting (ZFS) parameters based only on the electron spin–spin coupling expectation values. Nuclear quadrupole resonance constants for the different Cl isotopes are also calculated to accomplish the ZFS assignment. The electric dipole activity of the spin sublevels in the triplet–singlet transitions to the ground-state vibrational levels is estimated by calculations of derivatives using distorted geometries which are shifted from the equilibrium position along different vibrational modes. A vibrational analysis of the phosphorescence spectrum, based on the SOC-induced mixing of the singlet and triplet states calculated along different vibrational modes, provides reasonable agreement with experimental data.Acknowledgment O.

Characterisation of combinatorial libraries of mucin-2 antigen peptides by high-resolution mass spectrometry

An epitope motif, TX(1)TX(2)T, of mucin-2 glycoprotein was identified by means of a mucin-2-specific monoclonal antibody, mAb 994, raised against a synthetic mucin-derived 15-mer peptide conjugate. For determination of the epitope sequence recognised with highest affinity by mAb 994, a combinatorial approach was applied using the portioning-mixing technique excluding Cys. Antibody binding of libraries was most profound when Gln was at the X(1) position. Analytical characterisation of the TQTX(2)T library was conducted by amino acid analysis and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionisation time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) and electrospray ionisation Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (ESI-FTICR) mass spectrometric methods. Control libraries were prepared by mixing 19 individual peptides corresponding to the TQTX(2)T sequence. Thus, mixtures of 6, 10 and 19 pentapeptides were analysed and compared with the combinatorial mixture. MALDI-TOFMS was able to detect only partially the components in the 6- and 10-member mixtures, but failed to characterise a more complex 19-member mixture. In contrast, ESI-FTICRMS resolved all mixtures of higher complexity and provided direct identification at monoisotopic resolution, such as for a peptide library containing 'isobaric' lysine and glutamine (Delta m = 0.0364 Da). The results of this study suggest that ESI-FTICRMS is a powerful tool for characterisation of combinatorial peptide libraries of higher complexity.     

Molecular orbital interpretation of X-ray emission spectra of ClCN and ONCl

Ab initio as well as semi-empirical SCF MO calculations are presented for ClCN and ONCl. The relative intensities for Cl Kβ emission in the two molecules were calculated. The calculated spectra from the ab initio wavefunctions are in excellent agreement with experiments.     

Synthesis and Photophysical and Electrochemical Study of Tyrosine Covalently Linked to High‐Valent Copper(III) and Manganese(IV) Complexes

As bio‐inspired chemical model of the oxygen‐evolving complex (OEC) in photosystem II, a new tyrosine‐modified corrole ligand 3 and its high‐valent copper and manganese complexes 3a and 3b were synthesized and characterized. The copper complexes 1a and 2a of corrole 1 and 2 were also prepared for comparison. The emission property indicates that the emission of ligands 2 and 3 is located at 670 nm, but no emission is observed for their metal complexes due to its suppression by the metal center. The electrochemical study shows that 3a might dimerize at the first two reversible oxidations, a behavior which was not observed in the case of 1a and 2a . The corrolato manganese(IV) complex 3b shows one reversible reduction and one quasireversible oxidation at ?0.17 and 0.77 V vs. Ag/Ag⁺, respectively.

Investigations of reactions involved in flameless atomic absorption procedures : Part IV. A theoretical study of factors influencing the determination of aluminium

High-temperature equilibrium calculations are used to study potential interferences in the determination of aluminium by flameless a.a.s. The conditions for the formation of interfering aluminium compounds like AlO(g), Al₂O(g), Al₂O₃(s), AlOH(g), AlH(g), AlHO₂(g), AlS(g), AlN(g), AlN(s) and AlCl(g) have been calculated. The influence of kinetic parameters on the equilibrium calculations for the reactions involving carbon—oxygen and carbon—sulphur has been established by varying the input amount of carbon. The results indicate that even in the nanomole range the presence of elements like H, O, N, Cl and S may cause severe interferences during the atomization step (2300–2900 K)     

Investigations of reactions involved in electro-thermal atomic absorption procedures : Part 8. A theoretical and experimental study of factors influencing the determination of phosphorus

Ideal conditions for the determination of phosphorus by graphite-furnace atomic absorption spectrometry are investigated by the use of high-temperature equilibrium calculations. All reasonable reaction products resulting from the reaction between P, C, O, H, N, Ca and Ar are considered. The calculations show that phosphorus forms the volatile monoxide and dioxide molecules below 1800 K (P_o2? 10^-13 atm.). At higher temperatures the relative amount of atomic phosphorus is mainly controlled by the equilibrium between monatomic and diatomic phosphorus. The significance of the theoretical ' study was investigated experimentally. The relative amounts of P₂ and PO were monitored by molecular absorption using vaporization under isothermal conditions; the interfering effects of Ca, N₂, H₂, and O₂ on the atomic absorption signal for phosphorus were also studied. The sensitivity was greatly dependent on graphite tube conditions as well as the heating rate of the furnace. For CaHPO₄ the sensitivity for phosphorus was 4.5 × lO^-8 g. If samples were introduced into a preheated tube, this value was improved to 2 × 10^-9 g.
