Untersuchungen an reagenzien zur photometrischen zinnbestimmung

The formation of complexes between tin(IV) and o-diphenols, and o-hydroxyquinones, has been studied spectrophotometrically. Simple o-hydroxyquinones do not react with tin(IV), chloranilic acid gives an SnR₂ complex, and o-diphenols give SnR₃ complexes. The reactions of tin(IV) with hydroxyxanthene dyes to give coloured products were considered for their possible analytical utility: the pH range, absorption spectrum, solubility and composition of the complexes were investigated, and the stability constants determined. Analytical procedures have been developed for tin and checked for precision and sensitivity: gallein and hydroxyhydroquinonephthalein (dihydroxyfluorescein) are to be recommended.     

Aktivierungsanalytische Sauerstoffbestimmung mit schnellen Reaktorneutronen

Summary Oxygen can be determined by the nuclear reaction ¹⁶O (n, p) ¹⁶N initiated by fast reactor neutrons. The automatic irradiation and counting system which is used in the Munich research reactor for non-destructive oxygen determination is described. The activation by thermal neutrons is suppressed by the installation of a cadmium shield around the pneumatic tube at the irradiation position. Oxygen has been determined in the presence of many elements to find out which elements disturb the oxygen activation analysis.Zusammenfassung Sauerstoff läßt sich aktivierungsanalytisch mit schnellen Reaktorneutronen über die Kernreaktion ¹⁶O (n, p) ¹⁶N bestimmen. Die automatische Bestrahlungs- und Meßanlage, die die Durchführung solcher zerstörungsfreier Sauerstoffanalysen am Forschungsreaktor München erlaubt, wird beschrieben. Die Aktivierung durch thermische Neutronen wurde durch Einbau eines Cadmiumschildes am Bestrahlungsort unterdrückt. Sauerstoffanalysen wurden in Gegenwart zahlreicher Matrixelemente durchgeführt, um zu ermitteln, welche Elemente die aktivierungsanalytische Sauerstoffbestimmung mit schnellen Reaktorneutronen erschweren oder unmöglich machen.Wir danken der Betriebsleitung und der Bestrahlungsgruppe des FRM für deren verständnisvolles Eingehen auf unsere Wünsche, Herrn Dr. Köhler für seine wertvollen Hinweise beim Aufbau der schnellen Rohrpost und Herrn E. Pfeffermann für seine Mithilfe bei einem Teil der Messungen.     

Determination of 1-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone in human serum by high-performance liquid chromatography

Summary A simple method is described which allows the quantification of 1-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone (NVP) in human serum. NVP is extracted from serum with diethylether and determined with HPLC/UV-detection. 1-Cyclohexyl-2-pyrrolidone serves as an internal standard. The detection limit is 0.1 mg/l. The method has shown that NVP can enter the organisms of workers occupationally exposed to this substance.     

Zur Theorie der Chiralitätsfunktionen

The Algebraic Theory of Chirality Functions is derived by means of exclusively qualitative considerations. Hence, the significance of quantitative results is questionable. Moreover the construction of “Näherungsansätze” (”Approximation-Ansatz”), which may be interpreted as semiempirical methods, is achieved on the basis of plausibility and mathematical simplicity. Since physical arguments are not included, the consistency or inconsistency of “Näherungsansätze” with experimental results do not justify direct physical conclusions.     

N-heterocyclic carbenes as ligands in high-valent molybdenum and tungsten complexes

Oxometal complexes of molybdenum and tungsten in high oxidation states from stable adducts with 1,3-dimethylimidazoline-2-ylidene (L) 1. The first ‘carbene’ complexes of molybdenum(VI) [MoO₂Cl(L)₃]Cl (3a) and tungsten(VI) WO₂Cl₂(L)₂ (4b) are reported.
