Effect of free phosphine on the reactivity of phosphine-containing rhodium(I) complexes

The photolysis products of SO₂-pentane-NO mixtures are N₂O, H₂O and a compound designated as RNO. Kinetic data obtained by OC method confirm the previously proposed scheme of photolysis. Also studied was the photolysis of SO₂, NO and cyclohexane mixtures. From comparison of spectral characteristics of RNO and its analog 2-methyl-2-nitrosopropane, the probable structure of RNO is suggested.

Interaction of cyclodextrins with drugs. Chromatographic investigation using a cyclodextrin bonded-phase and its application to chiral separations

Summary The interaction between cyclodextrin and the drug (1R,2S,3S,4S)-(5Z)-7-(3-((phenylsulfonyl)amino)bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-yl)hept-5-enoic acid ((+)-S-145), was studied using -, -, and -cyclodextrin bonded-phase columns. Retention behavior of (+)-S-145 on these columns revealed that the strength of inclusion was -cyclodextrin. Interaction between -cyclodextrin and (+)-S-145 was found to increase as the proportion of carboxylic ion in the (+)-S-145 molecule increased. Comparison of binding capacities of these bondedsilica gels obtained by frontal analysis and surface coverage indicated that availability of the immobilized - and -cyclodextrin was 20–25%. The synthesized -cyclodextrin bonded-phase column was superior to that of commercial columns in terms of chiral separation of (±)-S-145. A typical usage of the -cyclodextrin column is discussed for separation of (±)-S-145 in plasma samples.

Kinetics of the formation of whewellite and weddelite by displacement reactions

The nucleation and crystallization of whewellite and weddelite during displacement reactions has been investigated by means of thermomicroscopy, thermogravimetry, X-ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy. Gypsum cleavage plates were immersed at different temperatures in solutions of oxalic acid and alkali oxalates. The reaction product (whewellite and/or weddelite) formed on the gypsum crystal surface. Depending on the concentration of the solution and on the time and temperature, different degrees of reaction, which means varying amounts and crystal forms or Ca-oxalate were found. An evaluation of the growth rate was possible by means of thermogravimetry. Conditions for the preparation of pure weddelite by precipitation from solutions have been established.

Zusammenfassung Keimbildung und Kristallisation von Whewellit und Weddelit bei Verdrängungsreaktionen wurden durch Thermomikroskopie, Thermogravimetrie, Röntgenbeugung und Rasterelektronenmikroskopie untersucht. Gipsspaltplättchen wurden bei verschiedenen Temperaturen in Oxalsäure- und Natriumoxalatlösungen eingetaucht. Das Reaktionsprodukt (Whewellit oder Weddelit) bildete sich auf der Oberfläche des Gipskristalls. In Abhängigkeit von der Konzentration der Lösung, der Zeit und der Temperatur wurden verschiedene Umsetzungen, d. h. verschiedene Menge und Kristallformen von Calciumoxalat gefunden. Die Wachstumsgeschwindigkeit ließ sich aus thermogravimetrischen Messungen ermitteln. Die Bedingungen zur Herstellung reinen Weddelits durch Fällung aus der Lösung wurden ermittelt.

A model of reaction front propagation in crystals

A spatio-temporal model of anisotropic propagation of the dehydration front in Na₃P₃O₉ · 6H₂O single-crystals is discussed. It is based on the assumption that dehydration proceeds as a periodic displacement of the reaction front from one reacting elementary block to another, and that experimentally fixed dehydration patterns are composed of a multitude of elementary patterns having the same shape. The model can be applied to other crystals.

Zusammenfassung Ein Zeit- und Raummodell der anisotropischen Fortschreitung der Dehydratationsgrenzfläche in Na₃P₃O₉ · 6H₂O Einkristallen wird diskutiert. Das Modell ist auf einer Annahme begründet, dass die Wasserabspaltung als eine periodische Propagation der Reaktionsgrenzfläche von einem reagierendem Elementarblock zu anderem verläuft und dass die experimentell fixierte Entwässerungsfiguren aus einer Menge von Elementarfiguren von identischer Form zusammengestellt sind. Das Modell kann auf andere Kristallen verbreitet werden.

Comparative study of single-crystal dehydration of LiCOOH.H2O and Li2SO4·H2O

The kinetics of isothermal dehydration of two crystal hydrates with equivalent water molecule sublattices (LiCOOH.H₂O and LiSO₄.H₂O) was investigated in vacuum with a quartz crystal microbalance, and the dynamics of structural reorganization of the substances was studied by the synchrotron radiation method. Differences were found both in the nucleation stage and in the stage of reaction interface advance. The results indicate that the kinetic behaviour of isothermal decomposition of solids is determined by the structural reorganization of a metastable intermediate.

Zusammenfassung Die Kinetik der isothermen Entwässerung zweier Kristallhydrate mit gleichartigen Teilgittern der Wassermoleküle wurde untersucht mittels isothermer TG im Vakuum und Synchrotron-Röntgenbeugung. Unterschiede zwischen beiden Materialien werden sowohl in der Keimbildungswie- wei in der Ausbreitungsphase gefunden. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die Kinetik der isothermen Zersetzung fester Stoffe durch die strukturelle Reorganisation eines metastabilen Zwischenprodukts bestimmt wird.

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.

Thermal decomposition of Y,La and light lanthanide complexes of hippuric acid

The conditions of thermal decomposition of the hippurates of Y, La and the light lanthanides from Ce(III) to Gd have been studied. When heated, the Y, Ce(III), Pr and Gd complexes decomposed in two stages, those of La, Sm and Eu in three stages, and that of Nd in four stages, the oxides finally being formed. The complexes lost crystallization water to form anhydrous (Nd) or hydrated salts, and then decomposed to oxides directly (Y, Ce(III), Pr(III) and Gd) or with intermediate formation of Ln₂O₂CO₃ (La, Nd, Sm and Eu). The temperature of oxide formation varied periodically with the ionic potential in the lanthanide series.

Beim Aufheizen zersetzen sich die Komplexe von Y, Ce(III), Pr und Gd in zwei Schritten, die von Sm und Eu in drei Schritten und der von Nd in vier Schritten zu den Oxiden. Die Komplexe verlieren Kristallwasser unter Bildung wasserfreier (Nd) oder hydratisierter Salze und zersetzen sich dann direkt (Y, Ce(III), Pr(III), Gd) oder über Ln₂O₂CO₃ (Ln, Nd, Sm, Eu) zu den Oxiden. Die Temperatur der Oxidbildung verändert sich periodisch mit abnehmenden Ionenpotential in der Lanthanidenreihe.

Thermal desorption of atmospheric organic pollutants enriched on charcoal

A technique of thermal vacuum desorption of charcoal, used in passive dosimeters to enrich organic pollutants of toxicological importance, is described. It combines the advantages of the classic procedure of using highly active charcoal followed by solvent desorption and the environmental one-step procedure of analyzing the whole thermally desorbed sample. For pollutants such as trichloroethylene, tetrachloroethylene, ether, benzene and ethanol, the recovery and reproducibility are satisfactory. The unexpected decomposition of halothane and ethylacetate at higher temperatures is caused by the catalytic activity of the charcoal, but this can be tolerated under constant operating conditions.

---

Zusammenfassung Eine Methode zum Anreichem toxikologisch bedeutender organischer Luftverunreinigungen durch thermische Vakuumdesorption von Aktivkohle nach dem Einsatz in passiven Dosimetern wird beschrieben. Die Methode kombiniert die Vorteile der klassischen Prozedur unter Verwendung hochaktiver Kohle mit nachfolgender Desorption durch Lösungsmittel einerseits mit denen der Umwelt-Analyse der gesamten desorbierten Probe in einem Schritt andererseits. Für Luftverunreinigungen wie Trichlorethylen, Tetrachlorethylen, Ether, Benzen und Ethanol werden ausreichende Wiedergewinnung und Reproduzierbarkeit ermittelt. Die unerwartete Zersetzung von Halothan und Ethylacetat bei höheren Temperaturen wird auf die katalytische Wirkung der Aktivkohle zurückgeführt. Sie kann unter konstanten Versuchsbedingungen jedoch toleriert werden.

Determination of organic- and carbonate-carbon in freshwater lake sediments by a microcombustion procedure

A microcombustion procedure specific for the determination of total-, organic- and carbonate-C in freshwater lake sediments is described. The procedure involves combustion of the sample at 650° to obtain organic-C. Total-C is obtained by combustion at 950° and carbonate-C calculated by difference. The procedure was evaluated by differential thermal analyses of representative sediments and known carbonate minerals. A procedure for the identification of dolomite in lake sediments by differential thermal analysis under CO₂ is also described.

Influence of the crystallite size of platinum of the course of hydrogenolysis of ethane and propane over Pt/Al2O3 catalysts

The effect of the degree of platinum crystallite size on the reaction rate, selectivity and activation energy of ethane and propane hydrogenolysis has been studied in the range of platinum crystallite size of 1.7–4.0 nm. In the same range of Pt crystallite size, the activation energy of both processes shows a clear minimum. The decrease in Pt crystallite size bellow 3.0 nm brings about rapid changes in the selectivity of propane hydrogenolysis.

Electrocatalytic effect of metal ions on lead and lead dioxide electrode reactions

The electrochemical reactions which take place on lead and lead dioxide electrodes of a lead-acid battery are highly influenced by the presence in the electrolytic solution of ions Cd(II), Ni(II), Zn(II) and Co(II). Current density-potential curves were obtained in this work by using a Pb/Ca alloy. It was observed that Co(II) and Ni(II) ions catalyzed both hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions. On the other hand, Cd(II) and Zn(II) ions decreased the hydrogen evolution rate.

Chiral recognition of enantiomeric peptides in water at 25° by calorimetry

The heats of dilution in water of binary and ternary solutions of the two enantiomeric forms ofN-acetylalanineamide have been measured at 25°. The excess enthalpies, expressed as virial expansion series, permit evaluation of the pairwise self and cross enthalpic coefficients. As for the chiral forms of some monosaccharides, the cross coefficient for the interaction between theD andL forms ofN-acetylalanineamide is slightly but significantly different from the corresponding self coefficient. A weak, water-mediated chiral recognition can be assumed to exist between pairs of amide molecules.

Zusammenfassung Die Verdünnungswärmen von binären und ternären wässrigen Lösungen der zwei enantiomeren Formen von N-Acetylalaninamid wurden bei 25 °C gemessen. Die in einer Virialexpansionsreihe entwickelten Überschußenthalpien ermöglichen die Berechnung der self und cross Enthalpiekoeffizientenpaare. Was die optisch aktiven Formen einiger Monosaccharide anbetrifft, so ist der cross Koeffizient für die Wechselwirkung zwischen der D- und L-Form von N-Acetylalaninamid etwas, aber signifikant verschieden von dem entsprechenden self Koeffizienten. Es kann angenommen werden, daß Paare von Amidmolekülen eine schwache, durch Wasser vermittelte Unterscheidungsfähigkeit hinsichtlich der optischen Aktivität zeigen.
