Large volume sample application by a simplified “closed” on-column injector in capillary gas chromatography

Summary A new simplified version of a closed on-column injector is introduced. Because of its design isobaric injection conditions do not have to be followed and a wide range of injection temperatures above the boiling point of the sample solvent can be chosen for on-column injections in capillary gas chromatography. Also, when following certain basic injection rules, injections of large sample volumes (20 l or more) give accurate and reproducible results without further problems.Presented at the 17th International Symposium on Chromatography, September 25–30, 1988, Vienna, Austria.     

Temperature-dependence of electromechanical coupling and strain in barium titanate hafnate transducer

The electromechanical coupling factor and ferroelectric hysteresis loops were investigated at different temperatures for BaTi_0.85Hf_0.15O₃ transducer. Maximum polarization and strain were obtained near the transition of the crystal structure. This correlated with increases in the ease and extent of ferroelectric domain boundary motion. The change in the crystal structure varied the unit cell volume, leading to higher strain.

Zusammenfassung Der elektromechanische Kopplungsfaktor und die ferroelektrische Hysteresisschleife wurde für BaTi_0.85Hf_0.15O₃-Transducer bei verschiedenen Temperaturen untersucht. Polarisation und Deformation nehmen in der Nähe des Umwandlungspunktes der Kristallstruktur maximale Werte an. Dies korreliert mit Leichtigkeit und Außmaß der Grenzbewegung im ferromagnetischen Bereich. Die mit der Umwandlung der Kristallstruktur zusammenhängende Veränderung des Elementarzellenvolumens führt zu größerer Verformung.

Kinetics of propylene oxidation in the region of negative temperature coefficients of the rate

Kinetic regularities in the consumption of initial reactants and the accumulation of propylene oxidation products has been studied in the region of negative temperature coefficients of the maximum reaction rate (T=648–723 K). It has been revealed that for prolynene-enriched mixtures (C₃H₆:O₂=3:1) at P-20.66 kPa, the reaction rate is practically independent of the temperature, whereas for poor mixtures (C₃H₆:O₂=1:5) it decreases with increasing temperature.

A stochastic analysis of catalyst deactivation in presence of external transfer limitations

The paper analyzes the simplest case of concentration independent deactivation of a catalyst surface in the presence of external transport limitations and accounts for the variations around the mean value of the activity of the catalysts leading to a stochastic formulation. The results reveal interesting features which would not be evident from the conventional deterministic analysis.

Formation of oxalates and carbonates in the thermal decompositions of alkali metal formates

The influences of gaseous and solid reactants on the yields of oxalates and carbonates in the thermal decompositions of alkali metal formates have been studied. A mechanism of formation of these products is proposed, which explains the influences of basic and acidic species formed in the medium on the thermal decompositions of the alkali metal formates.

Kinetics and isotope effect of brown coal liquefaction in ethanol

Liquefaction kinetics are described by a first-order equation. Deuterium introduction into the -position of ethyl alcohol produces a considerable kinetic isotope effect. This effect is suggested to be due to the hydrogen donor capacity of the initial ethyl alcohol -CH₂-groups or of ethyl substituents inserted into the aromatic fragments of coal after alkylation.

Conformational transition of kappa-carrageenan

The calorimetry of kappa carrageenan using differential scanning calorimetry and calorimetry at constant temperature is presented. Both sets of experimental results confirmed the formation of a helical dimer in the absence of gel formation. When gel is formed, the formation of a helical dimer is the major effect, the contribution of gelation represents only 20% of the enthalpy recorded.

Zusammenfassung Es wird über die Kalorimetrie von Kappacarrageen mittels DSC und Kalorimetrie bei konstanter Temperatur berichtet. Die experimentellen Resultate bestätigen beim Ausbleiben der Gelbildung, daß ein helixartiges Dimer gebildet wird. Auch bei Gelbildung steuert die Bildung des helixartigen Dimers den Hauptanteil zum thermischen Effekt bei, der Beitrag der Gelierung stellt nur etwa 20% der registrierten Enthalpie dar.

Some peculiarities in ESR spectra of titanium complexes in catalysts for isoprene polymerization in excess A1R3

It has been established that at low temperatures of TiCl₄+AOC catalyst preparation in solution (with Ti/Al1/15), ESR spectra exhibit rhombic anisotropy of the g-factor. Experiments with the sample having 61 % concentration of⁴⁷Ti isotopes suggest the formation of associates of Ti³⁺ with magnetic ordering, apparently due to the Jahn-Teller cooperative effect.

Parent and mixed ligand complexes in the copper(II)-ethylene glycol-sulphate system

Eleven copper(II)-ethylene glycol-sulphate complexes of different compositions were prepared, one of them-CuGl₂(H₂O)₂SO₄-in single-crystal form. A thermoanalytical study of these complexes revealed three types of thermal decomposition pattern. The X-ray structure of the single-crystal demonstrated the presence of ethylene glycol bridges resulting in endless chains in the crystal.

Quantitative thermodynamic evidence of transition from hexacoordinated to tetra- and pentacoordinated structures in aqueous copper(II) and zinc(II) complexes

A calculation method previously used in the study of simple ion pairs is extended in the present work to the entropies of formation of copper(II) and zinc(II) complexes with polydentate ligands in aqueous solution. Not only a qualitative, but also a quantitative and more significant discussion of the entropy data seems possible by this method. In particular, if the literature entropy data for copper(II) complexes with some carboxylic ligands and for zinc(II) with polyamines are used, the change from 6 to 4 in the coordination number of the cation is demonstrated, in accordance with previous suggestions. In the complex(Zntren)²⁺, the metal shows a coordination number of 5, in agreement with previous X-ray results.

Zusammenfassung Eine früher schon bei der Untersuchung einfacher Ionenpaare benutzte Berechnungsmethode wird auf die Entropiewerte der Bildung von Kupfer(II)- und Zink(II)-Komplexen mit Polydentat-Liganden in wässriger Lösung erweitert. Diese Methode scheint nicht nur eine qualitative, sondern auch eine quantitative und aussagekräftigere Diskussion der Entropiedaten zu ermöglichen. Ausgehend von Literaturangaben über die Entropie von Kupfer(II)-Komplexen mit einigen Carboxylgruppen enthaltenden Liganden und von Zink(II) mit Polyaminen wird, in Übereinstimmung mit früheren Annahmen, der Übergang von der 6-er in die 4-er Koordination demonstriert. Im Komplex (Zn tren)²⁺ ist die Koordinationszahl des Metalls 5, in Übereinstimmung mit früheren Röntgenergebnissen.

Studies on water retention and water release from some protein systems

The hydrogen-bond properties (WBI index), water retention and water release from the protein-water systems gluten-water, soya protein- water and casein-water, have been investigated using differential scanning calorimetry in the temperature range 223–423 K. The proteins were characterized by their isoelectric point, contents of carboxyl groups and sulfur-containing groups, and readiness of undergo chloromethylation. It was concluded that the marked difference in water-release behaviour is chiefly explained by conformational differences and charge effects.

Die Proteine wurden durch ihren isoelektrischen Punkt, den Gehalt an Carbonylgruppen und Schwefel enthaltenden Gruppen und durch ihre Reaktivität in der Chlormethylierung charakterisiert. Es wurde gefolgert, dass der ausgesprochene Unterschied im Wasserabgabeverhalten in erster Linie auf strukturelle Unterschiede und Ladungseffekte zurückzuführen ist.

Thermal stabilities of selected rare earth oxyiodides

The thermal stabilities of lanthanum, neodymium, samarium and gadolinium oxyiodides were studied in a dynamic air atmosphere. Several intermediate phases with the general formulanREOI·RE₂O₃ (n=7,4,2 and 1) were observed during the decomposition scheme. The thermal stability decreases slightly with increasing atomic weight of the RE cation. Similar decreases with increasing atomic weight of the halide were observed in the lanthanum and in the gadolinium oxyhalide series. This decrease could be correlated to the changes in crystal structure.

Während der Zersetzung wurde das Auftreten einiger intermediärer Phasen der allgemeinen FormelnREOJ·RE₂O₃ (n=7, 4, 2 und 1) beobachtet. Die thermische Stabilität nimmt geringfügig mit steigendem Atomgewicht des RE-Kations ab. Eine ähnliche Abnahme mit steigendem Atomgewichts des Halids wurde sowohl in der Lanthan- als auch in der Gadoliniumoxyhalidreihe beobachtet. Diese Abnahme konnte mit den Veränderungen in der Kristallstruktur in Korrelation gebracht werden.
