Summary A thin layer Chromatographic separation of the bismuth from an excess of metal ions of the hydrogen sulfide group is described. A mixture of tert. butanol, hydrochloric acid and water serves as mobile phase. After sucking off the sorption layer, the bismuth is determined spectrophotometrically with MDCM. The standard deviation and the variance of the procedure is given.

Triterpene glycosides ofSapindus mukorossi

Conclusions The structure of two triterpone glycosides fromSapindus mukorossi Gaertn. has been established. It has been shown that sapindoside A is hederagenin 3-O--L-arabinosyl-(2 1)--L-rhamnopyranoside and sapindoside B is the 3-O--L-arabopyranosyl-(2 1)-O--L-rhamnopyranosyl-(3 1)--D-xylopyranoside.     

Photosensitive decomposition of organic solvents at 77 degrees K by an aromatic amine, diphenylparaphenylenediamine

Abstract— –By e.s.r. we have studied the photoexcitation of an aromatic amine to its triplet state at 77°K, its photoionization to a radical cation and the simultaneous formation of solvent radicals proceeding from the photosensitization of the organic glassy matrix. In the case of methanol and ethanol matrix we observe approximately one solvent radical per solute radical cation. In the case of isopropanol and methyltetrahydrofuran we find respectively three and two solvent radicals per solute radical cation. The results suggest two possible processes of photosensitization. By successive absorption of two photons, the amine reaches an excited triplet state which is able either to dissociate giving one electron and one cation radical or to transfer its energy to the solvent, this last being decomposed. It is assumed that in the case of methanol and ethanol, the radicals from the solvent are only formed by reaction on the matrix by the released electron, whereas in the case of isopropanol and methyltetrahydrofuran, the second process is prevalent or exclusive.     

Na+ transport across the beta alumina-propylene carbonate interface

Interfacial Na⁺ ion transport between polycrystalline beta alumina and propylene carbonate has been studied using a galvanostatic transient technique which separates interfacial overpotential from bulk resistivity effects. No interfacial polarization is detected during ion entry into beta alumina and exit from beta alumina across a dry interface from 30–1000 μA cm^?2. Transport across an interface contaminated with adsorbed water follows Tafel-type i/E behavior with a transition coefficient (α) of 0.24 and exchange current (i₀) of 3.0×10^?6 A cm^?2 at 23°C. Interfacial transport appears to take place through an intermediate state in which the mobile ion is adsorbed on the interface. Large increases in interfacial polarization occur at both dry and hydrated interfaces for ionic currents exceeding the rate of adsorption or desorption.     

The Spectrophotometric Determination of Gallium (III) with Glycine Thymol Blue

The reaction between gallium (III) and glycine thymol blue has been studied spectrophoptometrically in order to establish the optimum conditions for determining traces of gallium. The gallium (III) glycine thymol blue complex has an absorption maximum at 560 nm against a reagent blank and is stable between pH 4.0 and 5.5. The complex has a composition 1 : 2 and a formation constant of 6.4×10⁷ under the conditions studied. Beer's law is obeyed upto 126 μg of gallium. The net molar absorptivity has been found to be 11,000. The present method is very sensitive and rapid. Anions such as citrate and tartrate inhibit the colour development of the complex.     

Metal derivatives of azoles,part VII. Pyrazolato-bridged dinuclear complexes containing either cyclopalladated or -platinated trimesitylphosphine or -arsine

Summary The halogen bridges of the dimeric, cyclometallated trimesityl-arsine and -phosphine complexes of palladium(II) and platinum(II), where M=Pd or Pt and E=P or As have been replaced with pyrazolate groups to give the corresponding and less symmetric pyrazolato-bridged complexes, where M=Pd or Pt, E=P or As, Pz=pyrazolato anion, and M=Pd, E=As, Pz=3,5-dimethylpyrazolato anion. In the case of the palladium complexes,¹H. n.m.r. clearly indicates the presence of only one isomer which is most likely to have thetrans configuration while the platinum complexes are mixtures of bothcis andtrans forms.Part VI, ref. 3c     

Direct flame-photometric determination of calcium in soil and plant extracts,water and serum with special reference to sodium,potassium and phosphate interference

An investigation of the possibilities for the direct determination of calcium with a single-cell filter flame photometer, without preliminary separation as oxalate, led to the following conclusions:Calibration curves for 100 p.p.m. of calcium are rectilinear.Sodium causes an appreciable positive error.The error due to potassium interference is relatively much smaller than that due to sodium. Up to a certain concentration it is positive and increases with the concentration, then the emission seems to be gradually depressed and the error finally becomes negative.Phosphates cause a very significant negative error, which tends to be asymptotic. The “radiation buffer” method of correction is not practical here because the max. error is too high (—92.5%).Except for extreme cases, calcium can be determined by direct spraying, without preliminary separation as oxalate: (a) in drinking and irrigation water, correction being necessary only for sodium interference, (b) in soil extracts, correcting only for phosphate effects, (c) in normal blood sera, without clinically significant corrections at 1+3 dilution.Owing to the large variations in the contents of Na, K and PO₄^-3 in plants, calcium cannot be determined in plant-ash extracts without preliminary separation as oxalate. This applies also to abnormal sera, although there the variations in Na and PO₄^-3 content are not so large.     

Angular momentum decoupling approximations in the quantum dynamics of reactive systems

Two methods for implementing angular momentum decoupling approximations in quantum mechanical reactive scattering examined. Applications of both reactive and nonreactive H + H₂ collisions indicate that for the most intense individual reactive transitions and for all degeneracy-averaged ones, these decoupling methods (especially the “proper” decoupling method) yield results in good agreement with those of fully-coupled calculations. However, for the less intense reactive transitions and all individual nonreactive transitions, very large errors can result from use of these approximate methods.
