Observation of vibration-electronic exchange in gas-surface collisions

Intensity increase of exoelectronic emission in the interaction of vibrationally excited hydrogen beam (v1) with emitter surface (CaSO₄) has been found. The effect proves to be due to the transfer of vibrational energy from molecules to trapped electrons, i.e. to the v-e transition in gas-surface collisions.

XPS and chemisorption studies of the surface layer of Pd?Ag catalysts for CO oxidation

XPS and chemisorption studies of the surface composition of a Pd–Ag alloy (5% Pd) before and after its application in CO oxidation have been performed. It is shown that in a freshly prepared sample the bulk and surface layer compositions are the same. High-temperature treatment of the catalyst in the reaction medium leads to a thermodynamic equilibrium between surface and bulk.

Kinetic parameters obtained from TG and DTG curves of acrylamide-maleic anhydride copolymers

The thermal behaviour of acrylamide-maleic anhydride copolymers was studied by thermogravimetric (TG and DTG) analysis. The obtained data permitted the calculation of activation energies and reaction orders of the decomposition steps by the Coats-Redfern and Freeman-Carroll methods.Thermal analysis shows four distinct peaks in the case of polyacrylamide and AAMA (71) copolymer and only three for AAMA (11) copolymer.In AA:MA (11) copolymers intermolecular imidization occurs only and thermal degradation is influenced more by the anhydride groups which are equal in number with the amide ones.

Aus den erhaltenen Daten wurden die Aktivierungsenergien und Reaktionsordnungen der Zersetzungsschritte nach den Methoden von Coats-Redfern und Freeman-Carroll berechnet. Durch thermische Analyse können im Falle von Polyacrylamid und AAMA (71 (-Kopolymeren 4 Peaks und bei AA:MA (11) -Kopolymeren nur 3 Peaks unterschieden werden. Bei AAMA (1 1)-Kopolymeren verläuft nur eine intermolekulare Imidisierung und der thermische Abbau wird mehr durch die in gleicher Zahl wie die Amidgruppen vorliegenden Anhydridgruppen beeinflußt.

Phase equilibria in the V2O5-FeVMoO7 system

The progress of the reactions of water with brownmillerite (C₄AF⁺) and its mixtures with gypsum (C¯SH₂) and calcium sulphoaluminate (C₄A₃¯S) was investigated by means of calorimetric measurements in situ and X-ray diffractometry to determine the reaction heat and the conversion of the solid reactants as functions of time up to 50 h. The rapid reaction of C₄AF with water and the modifying effect of sulphates on the composition of the hydrated phases were confirmed. The presence of sulphates causes the induction period during the reactions of aluminium and iron-containing clinker phases with water. These phenomena are important technologically too, especially in cements with increased contents of C₄AF and of sulphate-yielding phases (C¯SH₂ and C₄A₃¯S).

Zusammenfassung Der Verlauf der Hydratation von Brownmillerit Ca₄AF^* bzw. seinen Mischungen mit Gips (C¯SH₂) und Calcium-sulfat-aluminat (C₄A₃¯S) wurde durch kalorimetrische Messungen in situ und Röntgendiffraktometrie verfolgt, um die Abhängigkeit der Reaktionswärme und des Umsatzes der festen Reaktanden von der Zeit (bis 50 h) zu bestimmen. Die schnelle Reaktion von C₄AF mit Wasser und der modifizierende Effekt der Sulfate auf die Zusammensetzung der hydratisierten Phase wird bestätigt. Die Anwesenheit von Sulfat bewirkt eine Induktionsperiode bei der Reaktion von alumimum- und eisenhaltigen Klinkerphasen mit Wasser. Diese Erscheinungen sind von technischer Bedeutung, insbesondere für Zemente mit erhöhtem Gehalt an C₄AF und sulfatbildenden Phasen wie C¯SH₂ und C₄A₃¯S.

Determination of Lead Using a New Chromogenic Reagent 2-(2-Sulfo-4-acetylphenylazo)-7-(2,4,6-trichlorophenylazo)-1,8-dihydroxynaphthalene-3,6-disulfonic Acid

A novel chromogenic reagent, 2-(2-sulfo-4-acetylphenylazo)-7-(2,4,6-trichlorophenylazo)-1,8-dihydroxynaphthalene-3,6-disulfonic acid 1, was prepared by diazo coupling of 4-acetylaniline-2-sulfonic acid and 2,4,6-trichloroaniline to chromotropic acid through –N=N– groups. Based on this reagent, a simple, sensitive and selective spectrophotometric method was developed for the determination of lead. In 0.20M phosphoric acid medium, lead reacts with 1 to form a 1:2 blue complex with an absorption maximum of 654nm. Beers law is obeyed in the range of 0–0.6mgL^–1 of lead. The apparent molar absorptivity is 1.25×10⁵Lmol^–1cm^–1. The detection limit and quantification limit were found to be 0.63µgL^–1 and 2.1µgL^–1, respectively. The relative standard deviation for eleven replicate measurements was of 2.6%. The interference of foreign ions was also investigated. All the other foreign ions studied did not interfere with lead determination except for Ca(II) and Ba(II). The interference caused by Ca(II) and Ba(II) can be eliminated by prior extraction of lead with potassium iodide-methylisobutylketone (KI-MIBK). The proposed method was applied to the determination of lead in certified samples with satisfactory results.     

Features of the Tautomerism of Some α-Substituted Pyridines

The AM1 quantum-chemical semi-empirical method was used to calculate the values of the enthalpy of activation (H^#), the heats of reaction (H), and the tautomeric equilibrium constants (K_T) for several -substituted pyridines. It was found that the keto-enol tautomeric conversion in -pyridone occurs more readily than the amino-imino conversion in 2-aminopyridine but in 2-methylpyridine the tautomeric equilibrium does not exist at all.     

Chemical Transformations of 9,11-Ethano-13,15-isoxazolinoprostanoids

Chemical transformations of 9,11-ethano-13,15-isoxazolinoprostanoids furnished new prostanoids with a bufunctional fragment of -hydroxyketone and -aminoalcohol in the -chain. The reaction of -hydroxyketones with methanesulfonyl chloride gave rise to prostanoids with an enone component in the -chain. 9,11-Ethano-16-thiaprostanoids were prepared for the first time by nucleophilic addition of thiols to the polarized double bond in the -chain. The 1,3-dipolar addition to terminal alkenes of nitrile oxides generated from nitromethylene derivatives of bicycloheptane provided 9,11-ethano-13,15-isoxazolinoprostanoids with an alkyl, phenyl, or additional heterocyclic fragment in the -chain.

Orientation mechanisms during biaxial drawing of polymer films

Summary Second drawing of monoaxially drawn PP and PET films perpendicular to the first drawing direction has been investigated. At low draw ratios structural systems having an angle of 45° with regard to the second draw direction are formed. By increasing the draw ratio the structures rotate into the new preferred direction. The results lead to the impression that the structural transformations do not turn out molecule by molecule, but domain by domain.

Zusammenfassung Die Zweitverstreckung monoaxial verstreckter PP- und PET-Folien senkrecht zur Erstverstreckrichtung wird untersucht. Bei kleinen Verstreckgraden bilden sich Struktursysteme unter 45° zur Zweitverstreckrichtung; bei weiterer Verdehnung drehen sich die Strukturen in die Vorzugsrichtung. Die Ergebnisse vermitteln den Eindruck, daß die Strukturänderung nicht Molekül für Molekül, sondern Bereich für Bereich abläuft.

A new improved expression for gamma-ray detection efficiency of Ge(Li) detectors

In the present paper, a new improved expression for -ray detection efficiency of Ge(Li) detectors, ⁰ , is given. It is represented as a continuous function of x (viz. E ^–1) with a maximum and decreases very rapidly to a small positive value as -ray energy, E, drops to 40 keV or lower, but slowly as E rises to 1.7 MeV or higher. Since it can well represent the whole physical process of the -ray detection, this expression may be one of the simplest and most precise representations, for ⁰ at the present time.     

On the Fe-CO molecule

Using a perturbational configuration interaction approach, it is found that the Fe-CO molecule has a low-spin ground state (i.e. ^3–), at variance with similar compounds formed by the first transition elements of this series (e.g. Sc and Ti). Binding energies, interatomic distances and vibration frequencies have been calculated for the ^3– state as well as for the ^5– high-spin state.Dedicated to Professor J. Koutecký on the occasion of his 65th birthday     

Meeting the need for reference measurements

Summary Reference materials do fulfil a very useful function in that they provide means to check, verify and calibrate measurement procedures and instrumentation. However, the material is often idealized compared to real life samples: it is either (very) pure or does not correspond in concentration level or matrix to the real life case. It is shown how this situation could be remedied if real life samples with carefully assessed reference values could be made available regularly as unknowns to measurement laboratories. Comparison of the latter's measurements with the reference values then would provide a picture of the real performance of the particular measurement community in general and of each participating laboratory in particular. The opinion is expressed that isotope-specific methods have now matured to the stage that, if they are correctly applied under rigorous control and based on highly skilled expertise, they can provide such reference values against which laboratories can then evaluate their routine performance in regular Interlaboratory Measurement Evaluation Programmes (IMEPs).

Zersetzungsmechanismus von Mg(OH)2 und Mg(OD)2

Zusammenfassung Man untersucht, unter welchen Bedingungen das Proton einer ionischen OH^–-Gruppe die Elektronenwolke des O^2–Ions verlassen kann, um mit einer benachbarten OH^–-Gruppe ein H₂O-Molekül zu bilden. Voraussetzung zum Tunneln ist in der benachbarten OH^–-Gruppe ein freies Akzeptorniveau auf gleicher Höhe. Wenn die beiden betrachteten OH^–-Gruppen kristallographisch äquivalent sind, ist die letztgenannte Bedingung nicht erfüllt, da das Akzeptorniveau höher liegt als das Donatorniveau. Durch Koplung mit den gegenphasigen OH-Knickschwingungen wird eine Verbreiterung der Niveaus und schließlich — ab einer kritischen Amplitude — eine Überlappung herbeigeführt, die das Tunneln ermöglicht. Die Protonenumlagerung beginnt an der Oberfläche, weil an einer freien Oberfläche die Amplituden der wirksamen OH-Knickschwingungen bei gleicher Temperatur größer sind als im Innern des Kristalls.

The conditions have been studied under which the proton of an ionic OH^– group can leave the electron cloud of the O^2– ion to form a H₂O molecule with a neighbouring OH^– group. The condition of tunnelling is the presence of a free acceptor level of similar height in the neighbouring OH^– group. If the two OH^– groups are equivalent crystallographically, this condition is not fulfilled since the acceptor level lies higher than the donor level. Coupling with the opposite-phase OH bending vibrations leads to a broadening of the levels and finally to an overlap, which renders the tunnelling possible. The proton transfer starts at the surface as at any given temperature the amplitude of the effective OH bending vibrations is larger at the surface than inside the crystal.

Résumé On recherche les conditions dans lesquelles le proton d'un groupe ionique OH^–peut quitter le nuage électronique de l'ion O^2– pour former une molécule d'eau avec un groupe OH^– voisin. La condition de l'effet tunnel est que le groupe OH^– voisin possède un même niveau libre accepteur. Cette condition n'est pas réalisée dans le cas de deux groupes OH^–voisins cristallographiquement équivalents puisque le niveau accepteur est plus haut que le niveau donneur. Le couplage des vibrations de déformation en opposition de phase des OH provoque un élargissement des niveaux et finalement — à partir d'une amplitude critique — un recouvrement qui permet l'effet tunnel. La transposition protonique commence en surface puisque pour une surface libre les amplitudes des vibrations de déformation actives des OH sont plus grandes qu'à l'intérieur du cristal.
