Fossil age determination by thermal analysis

Subsequent to a comparative examination of recent bone material the author has recently completed the paleobiogeochemical evaluation of classical Quaternary and Pliocene terrestrial fossils of vertebrata from Hungary. A derivatograph (MOM) has been used to determine two thermoanalytical parameters which are closely associated with the passage of geological time: the total bound organic-matter content of the fossil and the fossilization cofficient.Derivatographic measurement of the organic matter in the bones is supplemented by fine-structure analysis of bone-tissue slides.Sample material of unknown age from several provenances was evaluated with the new dating method. The importance of the procedure is even greater in cases when only indefinite sporadic finds can be obtained from the sediments.

Zusammenfassung Nach einer vergleichenden Untersuchung an neuzeitlichem Knochenmaterial hat der Autor kürzlich die paleobiogeochemische Auswertung der klassischen Quaternären und Pliocenen terrestren Fossilien von Vertebraten aus Ungarn ergänzt.Ein Derivatograph (MOM) wurde zur Bestimmung zweier thermoanalytischer Parameter eingesetzt, die eng mit dem Fortschreiten der geologischen Zeit verbunden waren: dem Gesamtgehalt an gebundenem organischem Material und dem Fossilisationskoeffizienten.Die derivatographische Messung der organischen Substanz in den Knochen wurde durch die Feinstrukturanalyse von Knochengewebeschnitten ergänzt.Probenmaterial unbekannten Alters verschiedener Herkunft wurde mit der neuen Methode ausgewertet. Die Bedeutung des Verfahrens ist in den Fällen noch grösser, wenn aus den Sedimenten nur unbestimmte sporadische Funde erhalten werden können.

Differential scanning calorimetry study of reactions of phenyl glycidyl ether with phosphoric acid

The reactions of phenyl glycidyl ether (PGE) with phosphoric acid in three molar ratios have been studied by means of DSC alone. The results obtained from isothermal measurements are as follows:H=–91.0 kJ/mole PGE(1:1 molar ratio);H=–100.5 kj/mole PGE (1:2/3 molar ratio).The DSC curves obtained from dynamic experiments are multipeaked and giveHvalues higher than those obtained from isothermal measurements. These results can be explained by taking into account the acid concentration, the different reactivities of the hydrogens of the phosphoric acid and the possibility that secondary reactions occur.

Zusammenfassung Die Reaktion von Phenylglycidyläther (PGE) mit Phosphorsäure wurde bei drei verschiedenen molaren Verhältnissen allein mittels DSC untersucht. Isotherme Messungen ergaben folgende Werte:H=–91.0kJ/mol PGE (molares Verhältnis 1:1);H=–100.5 kJ/mol PGE (molares Verhältnis 3:2). Die bei dynamischen Experimenten erhaltenen DSC-Kurven weisen viele Peaks auf und ergebenH-Werte, die größer als die durch isotherme Messungen erhaltenen sind. Diese Ergebnisse können erklärt werden, wenn die Säurekonzentration, die unterschiedliche Reaktivität der Wasserstoffatome der Phosphorsäure und die Möglichkeit des Verlaufs sekundärer Reaktionen in Rechnung gestellt werden.

The thermal decomposition reactions of bis-(pyridine-2-aldoxime)-copper(II) complexes

The thermal properties of some complexes of copper(II) with pyridine-2-aldoxime (HPAO), where the ligand appears either as the ion (PAO^–) or as a neutral molecule, were determined in vacuo and in dynamic nitrogen and oxygen gas atmospheres. The study was carried out by thermoanalytical (TG, DTG. DTA), spectroscopic and spectrometric (UV-visible, IR, diffuse reflectance, mass) techniques.The initial decomposition temperature is influenced by the number of acid hydrogens in the complex; the thermal stability sequence in vacuo is: [Cu(PAO)₂H]Cl > [Cu(PAO)₂H₂]Cl₂ > [Cu(PAO)₂]The thermal decomposition reactions occur in several separate steps, the first of which gives rise to partial ligand decomposition, the reduction of copper(II) to copper(I), and the conversion of the residual pyridine-2-aldoxime into acid amide.

Zusammenfassung Die thermischen Eigenschaften einiger Komplexe von Kupfer(II) mit Pyridin-2-aldoxim (HPAO), in denen der Ligand entweder als Ion (PAO^–) oder als neutrales Molekül vorliegt, wurden im Vakuum und in dynamischer N₂- und O₂-Atmosphäre ermittelt. Zur Untersuchung wurden thermoanalytische (TG, DTG, DTA) und spektrometrische (UV-sichtbar, IR, diffuse Reflektionsspektrophotometrie, Massenspektrometrie) Techniken herangezogen. Die Temperatur, bei der die Zersetzung beginnt, wird durch die Zahl der sauren Wasserstoffatome im Komplex beeinflußt; für die thermische Stabilität im Vakuum gilt die Reihenfolge [Cu(PAO)₂H]Cl > [Cu(PAO)₂H₂]Cl₂ > [Cu(PAO)₂]. Die thermischen Zersetzurigsreaktionen verlaufen in mehreren diskreten Schritten, wobei der erste von diesen eine partielle Zersetzung des Liganden, die Reduktion von Kupfer(II) zu Kupfer(I) und die Konversion des verbleibenden Pyridin-2-aldoxims in das Säureamid in sich einschließt.

The importance of the CO 2 2− anion in the mechanism of thermal decomposition of oxalates

The effects of active (carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide) and neutral (helium, argon and nitrogen) atmospheres on the course of thermal decomposition of oxalates have been studied and compared. A mechanism of thermal decomposition has been proposed on the basis of the results obtained, the first stage of which consists in a heterolytic dissociation of the C-C bond, with the formation of carbon dioxide and the CO ₂ ^2– anion.
