Eine neue Mikro- und Ultramikro-Bestimmung von Sauerstoff in organischen Verbindungen mit Hilfe eines W?rmeleitf?higkeitsdetektors

Zusammenfassung Zur Bestimmung des Sauerstoffs wird die organische Probe in Helium-Atmosphäre gecrackt; die sauerstoffhaltigen Crackprodukte werden über Kohle zu Kohlenmonoxid konvertiert. Um das Kohlenmonoxid von den übrigen Crackprodukten, wie H₂, N₂ und CH₄ abzutrennen, wird es zu Kohlendioxid oxydiert und danach an einem Molekularsieb bei 20° C durch Adsorption zurückgehalten; H₂, N₂ und CH₄ werden aus der Apparatur gespült. Sobald in der Probeleitung reines Spülgas auftritt, wird das adsorbierte Kohlendioxid durch Erhitzen desorbiert und im Detektor gemessen.

Summary For the determination of oxygen the organic sample is cracked in helium atmosphere. Cracking products, containing oxygen, are converted to carbon monoxide by coal. For separation from the remaining cracking products (H₂, N₂, CH₄) carbon monoxide is oxidized and then adsorbed on molecular sieve 5A at 20°C; H₂, N₂ and CH₄ are flushed out. As soon as pure carrier gas flows through the sample pipe, carbon dioxide is desorbed by heating the molecular sieve and flushed to the detector.

New improvements in oligonucleotide synthesis by use of the p-nitrophenylethyl phosphate blocking group and its deprotection by DBU or DBN

Phosphate protection in the phosphotriester approach is improved by the new, versatile p-nitrophenylethyl group due to its stability in the condensation step and its clean removal by DBU and DBN respectively.     

Structural Investigation of Guest-to-Host and Ligand-Ligand Interactions in Werner Clathrates of [Ni(4-Etpy)4(NCS)2]⋅ nG Type (G = Naphthalene Derivatives). The Crystal Structure of [Ni(4-Etpy)4(NCS)2]⋅1-Methylnaphthalene

The stoichiometry and spectral properties of [Ni(4-Etpy)4(NCS)2]nG clathrates have been studied where n = 2 for G = 1-BrN (N = naphthalene), n = 1 or 2 for G = 1-MeN, and n = 0.5 for 2-MeN and 2-BrN. The complexes under study show electronic absorption spectra typical of an octahedral environment of the Ni(II) central atom. The differences found in IR spectra for the (CN) and (Ni–-NNCS) vibrations are discussed. The crystal structure of [Ni(4-Etpy)4(NCS)2]1-MeN was determined by X-ray diffraction and refined to R = 0.0586. Discrete non-centrosymmetric [Ni(4-Etpy)4(NCS)2] molecules form layers of a host structure and the space between the layers is occupied by 1-MeN. The relationship between interatomic distances in the host complex of similar clathrates are discussed.     

Few-electron corrections of statistical exchange potential in low-energy electron scattering

In order to allow for the relative increase of self-interaction in few-electron systems, a reduction factor is introduced into the statistical free-electron exchange potential. This net-exchange potential has been used in the calculation of elastic electron scattering by rare-gas atoms in the low-energy region from 0 to 10 eV. Whereas former attempts to treat these phenomena as simple potential scattering have failed, in this work at least a crude qualitative agreement with experimental data has been achieved in most cases.     

Effects of NR1 splicing on NR1/NR3B-type excitatory glycine receptors

Background  

N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDARs) are the most complex of ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluRs). Subunits of this subfamily assemble into heteromers, which – depending on the subunit combination – may display very different pharmacological and electrophysiological properties. The least studied members of the NMDAR family, the NR3 subunits, have been reported to assemble with NR1 to form excitatory glycine receptors in heterologous expression systems. The heterogeneity of NMDARs in vivo is in part conferred to the receptors by splicing of the NR1 subunit, especially with regard to proton sensitivity.
