电子自旋、微观可区分性及化学键

本文从分析电子自旋磁矩 (磁极 )的空间性质入手,讨论了电子的可区分性。通过讨论2个电子自旋组态的 8种形式,其中,包括 4种磁极吸引的耦合态、4种磁矩排斥的非耦合态,同理,电子轨旋运动也存在 4种耦合态。自旋耦合、轨旋全耦合需要 8个电子,所以元素周期性为 8音律。磁矩耦合是形成化学键的第一要求,第二才是异核吸引作用 ;化学键的广义表达语言应该是:化学键只能由磁矩耦合的电子组成。对电子的波粒二象性和测不准原理进行了新的理论解释,并讨论了波粒二象性和测不准现象的物理模型。该模型与电子的微观可区分性相一致。

Physicochemical Properties of Profiled Heterogeneous Ion-Exchange Membranes

Optimum values of parameters of hot pressing of heterogeneous ion-exchange membranes MK-40 and MA-40 (temperature, pressure, exposure duration) with the aim of creating geometrical profiles on their surfaces are determined. A method of optical visualization of membrane profiles and a diffusion technique of diagnostics of through pores in the membranes are developed and substantiated. Most important physicochemical and physicomechanical characteristics of profiled membranes are investigated. It is shown that the major obstacle in the production of profiled cation-exchange heterogeneous membranes is encapsulation of grains of the ion-exchange resin by an inert polyethylene film, which leads to an increase in the surface resistance of the membranes and to a decrease in the fraction of their active surface areas. The profiling of heterogeneous anion-exchange membranes is accompanied by an increase in their microscopic porosity and diffusion penetrability.     

Moduli of model elastomeric networks prepared from polymer chains having a high plateau modulus,and their interpretation in terms of the constrained-chain model

High-molecular weight polybutadiene chains having approximately 47% cis-1,4 units and 45% trans-1,4 units were crosslinked through their carbon-carbon double bonds using p-bis(dimethylsilyl) benzene as crosslinking agent and chloroplatinic acid as catalyst. This particular polymer was chosen because the high plateau modulus it exhibits in the un-crosslinked state is taken to indicate large numbers of chain entanglements, and stress–strain measurements on such networks have frequently been interpreted with the assumption that the trapping of such entanglements during crosslinking should contribute significantly to their modull. It is shown in the present investigation that such results are equally well interpreted in terms of the new constrained-chain theory of rubbery elasticity. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Spectrophotometric analysis, thermal analysis and gravimetric determination of some metal ions with oxime and Schiff's base derivatives of N-furoylphenylhydroxylamine

The oxime and Schiff's base of N-furoylphenylhydroxylamine form complexes with Co²⁺, Cu²⁺, Zn²⁺ and Fe³⁺. These complexes were studied by means of the UV — Vis. spectra of nujol mulls, electron spin resonance (ESR) spectra and magnetic susceptibility to determine their stereochemistry. The complexes were characterized via elemental analyses, molar conductivities and thermogravimetric analyses. Organic reagents were used for the gravimetric determination of Co²⁺, Cu²⁺ and Fe³⁺ through the precipitation of their complexes. The compounds were also used for separation of a binary mixture of Cu²⁺ and Cu²⁺. Interferences were studied.     

Electroreduction of Anions and Silver Kryptate on a Mercury Electrode in Conditions of Adsorption of Kryptate Complexes

Electroreduction of persulfate, hexacyanoferrate, and perbromate anions on a mercury electrode is studied in conditions of individual adsorption of kryptate complexes of cations and in the case of their co-adsorption with surface-active substances that form two-dimensional condensed layers on the electrode/solution interface. The electroreduction dramatically accelerates during both individual adsorption of kryptate complexes and their co-adsorption with 1-adamantanol, due to an electrostatic effect. The behavior of electrochemically active kryptate complexes is investigated by studying the Ag⁺ kryptate. In the system studied the [Ag⁺ 222] complex undergoes diffusion-controlled reduction.     

Separation of minor macromolecular constituents from multicomponent polymer systems by means of liquid chromatography under limiting conditions of enthalpic interactions

Minor (<1%) macromolecular constituents may significantly affect physical/utility properties of the multicomponent polymer systems. Separation and molecular characterization of the small amounts of macromolecular additives from the dominant polymer matrices represents an exacting analytical problem. Recently a series of unconventional liquid chromatographic methods was developed for separation of the constituents of polymer blends; their generic name is Liquid chromatography under limiting conditions of enthalpic interactions, LC LC. The LC LC procedures employ the difference in elution rate of the low molecular substances and the macromolecules within the column packed with porous particles. Small molecules permeate practically all pores of the packing and therefore they elute slowly. Polymer species are partially of fully pore excluded and in absence of enthalpic interactions they are rapidly transported along the column. The appropriately chosen low molecular substances promote interactions of macromolecules within the column. If eluted in front of sample, the interaction promoting low molecular substance may create a sort of slowly eluting barrier that is “impermeable” for the interacting macromolecules and efficiently decelerates their fast transport. The blocking action of a barrier differs for macromolecules of distinct nature, which elute from the column with a different rate to be mutually separated irrespectively of their molar mass. In present work, different approaches to the LC LC separations are compared from the point of view of their applicability to complex polymer systems, in which one constituent is present at very low concentration, and also in light of sample recovery. The practical examples are the two- and three-component polymer blends of polystyrenes, poly(methyl methacrylate)s and poly(vinyl acetate)s of different molar mass averages and distributions, as well as the diblock copolymers polystyrene-block-poly(methyl methacrylate) that contain their parent homopolymers.     

An approach to the prediction of retention times in liquid chromatography

The utility of Rekker's hydrophobic fragmental constant has been examined for optimization of reversed-phase mode liquid chromatographic separations. The chromatographic behavior of about 60 non-ionic compounds was measured in different acetonitrile/water mixtures and the logarithm of their capacity factors (log k) was correlated with their calculated hydrophobicities (log P). Linear relations were found in each case between log k and log P. The slope of the various lines was related to the percentage concentration of acetonitrile in the mobile phase. It was shown that, by using nine stand ard compounds and measuring their capacity factors in five eluents with different acetonitrile concentrations, the retention time could be predicted for 60 compounds. Calculation of the concentration of the organic modifier was also possible in a system of well coated octadecyl bonded packings with acetonitrile/water mixtures as eluent. Prediction of the capacity factor was accomplished to within 5% error.     

Substitution symmetry

Pólya's enumeration theory and its generalizations are refined to count derivatives of symmetrical parent compounds with any specified subsymmetry. Equivalently, enumeration of orbits of mappings, upon which a group acts by acting on their domain and their range, is refined to count orbits with stabilizers in any specified conjugacy class of subgroups.

Liquid-phase oxidation of hydrocarbons in the presence of different types of phase-transfer reagents

The autoxidation of cyclohexene, tetralin and cumene was investigated in the presence of non-ionic, anionic and cationic surfactants and it was found that all three types of phase-transfer reagents are able to influence the rate of oxidation. If their HLB values are not too low (> 3) or not too high (< 15) all the non-ionic surfactants increase the rate of oxidation, otherwise they exert a slight inhibitory effect. If present in acid form, anionic surfactants all increase the rate of oxidation, while their Na-salts slightly inhibit the oxidation. Cationic surfactants all increase the autoxidation rate, but their catalytic efficiencies depend strongly on the experimental conditions. It was shown that the phosphonium ion-type surfactants are quickly oxidized by hydroperoxide present, but their catalytic and phase-transfer capabilities are not detectably reduced. In biphasic systems, the catalytic activities of cationic surfactants are strongly reduced by the presence of water as a separate phase. Light scattering measurements demonstrated that all three types of surfactants are prone to self-association when their concentrations are increased, and this limits their influence on the rate of oxidation. The oxidation rate is strongly reduced when non-ionizing but strongly solvating solvents are simultaneously applied in the reaction mixture. The rate-diminishing effect seems to correlate with the sequence of solvating ability of the solvents. It was pointed out that the presence of hydroperoxide is essential for the PTC-catalyzed oxidation of hydrocarbons. It is thought that the cationic and the anionic surfactants interact with the more nucleophilic (the inner one) and the more electrophilic (the outer one) O-atom of hydroperoxide, respectively, whereby homolysis of the O---O bond is facilitated. The non-ionic surfactants exert their rate-influencing effects through H-bond formation. In the PTC-catalyzed oxidation of hydrocarbons, the rate changes linearly only in a narrow range of PTC, hydroperoxide and substrate concentrations, and consequently the turnover number is not suitable to characterize the oxidation.     

Thin-layer chromatographic investigation of plant pigments in selected juices and infusions of cosmetological importance and their antioxidant potential

ABSTRACT

Fruit preparations (e.g., fruit juices and nectars) are rich in plant pigments and of great demand by the alimentary and pharmaceutical industry, basically not only due to their health-enhancing properties, but also due to their attractive colors and an overall high esthetic valor. Anthocyanins and anthocyanidins are an interesting group of plant pigments, and in this study, a thin-layer chromatographic detection was carried out of two anthocyanins (cyanin and keracyanin) and two anthocyanidins (pelargonidin and delphinidin) in a selection of the commercial and homemade fruit juices and the infusions prepared of dried plants. Moreover, the same preparations were evaluated for their antioxidant properties by means of two spectrophotometric methods (based on the 2,2′-azino-di-[3-ethylbenzthiazoline] sulfonate (ABTS) and 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) tests, respectively) and by the dot-blot test (based on DPPH). Finally, an effort was undertaken to correlate the chromatographically established occurrence of plant pigments in the investigated fruit preparations with their antioxidant properties. However, this correlation was not straightforward, and for at least two reasons. First, the four plant pigments considered are not the only secondary plant metabolites which exert an antioxidant activity. Second, different chemistries stand behind the two spectrophotometric antioxidant activity tests (ABTS vs. DPPH), and the different measuring techniques (spectrophotometry vs. dot blot) are assumed. Nevertheless, it was established that the juices and infusions with the highest detected numbers of plant pigments characterize with the high antioxidant activities also (with blueberries, chokeberries, and hibiscus flower on the top positions). In that way, confirmation of the antioxidant potential of the plant pigments was obtained. Moreover, the presence of certain plant pigments in fruit juices and plant infusions was reported for the first time.     

A study of porphyrin analogues—III : Syntheses,enzyme interactions and self-aggregation of new models for types I,III and IX porphyrins

Three new porphyrin free bases have been synthesised and their interaction with the mitochondrial enzyme Ferrochelatase has been studied. The model compound for type IX porphyrins is the best substrate for Ferrochelatase so far studied, whereas the model compound for type I porphyrins is the only compound of this type to act as a substrate for this enzyme. The model compound for type III porphyrins is not a substrate, but does act as a competitive inhibitor.The ¹H NMR spectra of the new compounds in their dimethyl diester form differ substantially from the spectra of their zinc(II)bis-pyrrolidine adducts, showing that aggregation is taking place. The results for the α-meso and γ-meso protons in particular are unusual and indicate that aggregation is taking place anomalously, with electronic effects dominating steric effects.     

Comparison of some properties of 2,3- and 3,5-dimethoxybenzoates of light lanthanides

The physico-chemical properties and thermal stability in air of the light lanthanide 2,3- and 3,5-dimethoxybenzoates were studied and compared in order to observe if there is influence of the position of -OCH₃ substituents in benzene ring on their properties, mainly on their thermal stability. The complexes of both of two series are crystalline, hydrated or anhydrous salts with colours typical of Ln³⁺ ions. The carboxylate group shows the different coordination modes. It may coordinate as a bidentate, chelating or tridentate chelating-bridging ligand. The thermal stabilities of 2,3- and 3,5-dimethoxybenzoates of light lanthanides were studied in the temperature range 293-1173 K. The solubilities of 2,3- and 3,5-dimethoxybenzoates of these elements in water at room temperature are in the orders of 10^-3-10^-2 mol dm^-3 and 10^-4 mol dm^-3, respectively. The various positions of -OCH₃ groups in benzene ring influences some physico-chemical properties of these compounds.
