Syntheses and structural analysis of 10-monoxy- and -dioxy-5-N-substituted iminothianthrene derivatives and the stereochemical change on their sulfur atom under acidic and thermal conditions

5-(N-p)-Toluenesulfonyl)iminothianthrenes, whose sulfur atoms are oxidized to a sulfoxide or sulfone at the 10-position, were hydrolysed readily in high yield to N-unsubstituted-sulfilimines by using concentrated H2SO4. During hydrolysis, 10-monoxy-5-N-unsubstituted-sulfilimines were obtained as a separable mixture of the cis and trans isomers. The stereochemical interconversion of these compounds was studied under both hydrolytic and thermal conditions and their structures were elucidated by using X-ray crystallography.     

Convergence of the arithmetic-geometric mean procedure for the complex variables and the calculation of the complete elliptic integrals with complex modulus

The convergence of the arithmetic-geometric mean procedure is checked for complex variables. The procedure is shown to be useful for the evaluation of the complete elliptic integrals of the first and second kinds with complex modulus. It is suggested that the procedure will be useful also for the numerical calculation of the elliptic integrals and the Jacobian elliptic functions with complex modulus in general.     

On the size effects in an electron hole drop

It is found theoretically that the work function in an (EHD) decreases as the number of pairs in the drop falls. This is in qualitative agreement with the experimental results.     

Spin orderings of the one-dimensional Ising magnet with the nearest and next nearest neighbor interaction

A proof is given of the fact that there exist four possible spin orderings for the one-dimensional Ising magnet with nearest and next-nearest-neighbor interactions.     

Thin-layer chromatographic separation of rhodium(III) and iridium(III, IV) by anion exchange

Summary The TLC behaviour of Rh(III), Ir(III) and Ir(IV) has been investigated in the two systems consisting of DEAE-cellulose or ECTEOLA-cellulose and 5 M HCl media containing H₂O₂. These systems, especially in combination with a simple chemical pretreatment of samples (with LiCl, HCl and H₂O₂), can effectively be applied to the complete separation of mixtures of Rh(III) and Ir(III) or Ir(IV) in a wide range of ratios and amounts (Rh: Ir=1100 to 1001).

Dünnschicht-chromatographische Trennung von Rhodium(III) und Iridium(III, IV) durch Anionenaustausch

Zusammenfassung Das dünnschicht-chromatographische Verhalten von Rh(III), Ir(III) und Ir(IV) wurde in H₂O₂-haltiger 5 M salzsaurer Lösung auf DEAE-sowie ECTEOLA-Cellulose untersucht. In Kombination mit einer einfachen chemischen Vorbehandlung der Probe (mit LiCl, HCl, H₂O₂) kann eine wirkungsvolle Trennung von Rh(III) und Ir(III) oder Ir(IV) über einen weiten Konzentrationsbereich erzielt werden (Rh: Ir=1100 bis 1001).
