“蒸馏酒”还是“发酵酒”——对《科学史导论》中“spirits” 和“distillation”的再思考

科学史奠基者乔治·萨顿在《科学史导论》第二卷的第一部分对我国宋代酿酒著作《北山酒经》予以了简要描述,出现了“spirits”“distillation”等字样;而《北山酒经》被众多学者认为其描述对象是发酵酒(黄酒)。本文从东西方蒸馏技术和相关著作的文本分析对《科学史导论》中提及的蒸馏技术和蒸馏酒存在的可能性提出了质疑。     

Conformation of cationic N,N‐di­methyl­glycine in di­methyl­glycinium tri­fluoro­acetate

In the title compound, C₄H₁₀NO₂⁺·C₂F₃O₂^?, the main N—C—COOH skeleton of the protonated amino acid is nearly planar. The C=O/C—N and C=O/O—H bonds are syn and the two methyl groups are gauche to the methyl­ene H atoms. The conformation of the cation in the crystal is compared to that given by ab initio calculations (Hartree–Fock, self‐consistent field molecular‐orbital theory). The tri­fluoro­acetate anion has the typical staggered conformation with usual bond distances and angles. The cation and anion form dimers through a strong O—H?O hydrogen bond which are further interconnected in infinite zigzag chains running parallel to the a axis by N—H?O bonds. Weaker C—H?O interactions involving the methyl groups and the carboxy O atoms of the cation occur between the chains.     

The reactivity of SbVO<Subscript>5</Subscript> with T-Nb<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>5</Subscript> in solid state in air

The reactivity of SbVO₅, a compound known since a short time, with T-Nb₂O₅ in solid state in air has been investigated over the whole component concentration range of a system built by these two reacting substances. The investigation results have shown that an equimolar mixture of SbVO₅ and T-Nb₂O₅ reacts with a subsequent formation of a hitherto unknown compound of the formula Nb₂VSbO₁₀. This compound has been characterized by the methods XRD, DTA/TG, and SEM. Its orthorhombic unit cell parameters have been calculated, and its stability in air up to 880 ± 10 °C has been proved. At this temperature, the compound melts incongruently with an accompanying deposition of solid Nb₉VO₂₅, i.e., of a compound that crystallizes in the binary oxide system V₂O₅–Nb₂O₅.     

Chemical morphology: The chemistry of our shape, <Emphasis Type="Italic">in vivo</Emphasis> and <Emphasis Type="Italic">in vitro</Emphasis>

Our shape is defined and maintained by the connective tissues (skin, tendons, cartilages, blood vessels, etc.) or more precisely by their extracellular matrices. These highly ordered supramolecular organisations are modules of protein fibrils held together by elastic carbohydrate strings. I called these the ‘shape modules.’ The ‘laws.’ which underpin this tissue jigsaw, the changes which come with age and the insight that the concepts give in economically important disorders such as osteoarthrosis begin to provide a new and coherent picture stretching across the animal world and its evolution. This structure/function picture is built on biochemical analyses, which developed into histochemical microscopy and thence into electron histochemistry, and from nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), molecular modelling and computer simulations on the physicochemical and biomechanical side. As usual, originality bred dissent.     

Trends in the cation distribution in the structures of the compounds forming in the Ln<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>3</Subscript>-GeO<Subscript>2</Subscript>-P<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>5</Subscript> systems

The cationic networks in the structures of the initial oxides and all binary and ternary compounds forming in the Ln₂O₃-GeO₂-P₂O₅ systems have been studied. In the phase diagrams of the Nd₂O₃-GeO₂-P₂O₅ and Er2O₃-GeO₂-P₂O₅ systems, the regions of the structural influence of individual compounds with topologically identical cationic networks—anisotropic (A), combined (C), and isotropic (I)—are united into common areas. The A: C: I area ratio is 1: 1: 1 in the neodymium system and 1.7: 1: 3.4 in the erbium system.     

Kinetic Isotope Effect in the Photoreduction of <Emphasis Type="Italic">o</Emphasis>-Benzoquinones in the Presence of <Emphasis Type="Italic">N,N</Emphasis>-Dimethylaniline

The kinetics of photoinduced reduction of a series of 3,5- and 3,6-di-tert-butylbenzoquinones-1,2 was studied in the presence of N,N-dimethylaniline, its deuterated analog, and a series of para-substituted N, N-dimethylanilines. On passing from the endothermic to the exothermic range of the free energy of electron transfer ΔG _e , the effective rate constants k _H and k _D and the quantum yields ϕ_H and ϕ_D of the reaction varied nonmonotonically with a maximum at ΔG _e of approximately +0.1 eV. For the reactant pairs relevant to the ascending (left-hand) branch of the plot k _H = f(ΔG _e ), the H/D isotope effect takes place, varying from two to five in magnitude. For the reactant pairs at the maximum and in the descending (right-hand) branch of the plot k _H = f(ΔG _e ), there is no isotope effect or its value is insignificant.__________Translated from Khimiya Vysokikh Energii, Vol. 39, No. 5, 2005, pp. 348–352.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Abakumov, Shurygina, Chesnokov, Druzhkov, Lopatin, Chechet, Cherkasov.     

Electrotransport properties of ions in aqueous solutions of H<Subscript>2</Subscript>SeO<Subscript>4</Subscript> and Na<Subscript>2</Subscript>SeO<Subscript>4</Subscript>

Coefficients of self-diffusion, absolute speeds of movement of ions and the activation energy of electrical conductivity are found from the conductance measurements of aqueous solutions of selenic acid and sodium selenate at different concentrations in a temperature range of 288–318 K. Both the Stokes and effective radii of ions and their hydrate numbers at 298 K are calculated. The obtained results are interpreted in the frames of Samoilov theory on positive and negative hydration of ions.     

Electrochemical dissolution of Mn<Subscript>3</Subscript>O<Subscript>4</Subscript> in acid solutions

The present study deals with the electrochemical reductive dissolution of Mn₃O₄, which was added to carbon-paste electroactive electrodes (CPEEs) in acid solutions. It was found that in the experimental conditions the thermodynamically stable form of manganese was . Kinetic features of the electrochemical reductive dissolution of Mn₃O₄, which was realized under potential cycling conditions (+1.0 V→−0.7 V→+1.0 V), were determined by the electrode polarization direction. It was shown that the cathodic reduction of Mn₃O₄ was accomplished in three stages. Manganese was dissolved in the supporting solution only at the third stage. The first two stages involved solid-phase reactions. The anodic cycling stage included an active dissolution of Mn₃O₄ and the lower manganese oxide (MnO) accumulated on the electrode surface during the cathodic reduction.
