金属材料分析方法的选择和施行：第五讲 金属材料中钨的测定（续）

此外,尚有二硫酚、邻羟基酚类试剂、酸性三苯甲烷类试剂、偶氮类试剂以及荧光酮类试剂等也都有应用于钨的光度测定的实例。但由于共存元素的干扰以及方法的成熟程度等问题尚未完全得到解决,在金属材料分析中的应用尚不普遍。其中,苯基荧光酮类试剂对钢铁中低含量钨的测定有一定的应用前景,举两例说明:例1:邻氯苯基荧光酮(o-Cl-PF)-CTMAB光度法测定钢及合金中低含量钨[w(W)0.01%~0·50%]。称取试样0.100 0~0.200 0 g,溶于硫酸-磷酸混合酸(H2SO4+H3PO4+H2O=3+10+12)10 mL中,滴加浓硝酸约1 mL氧化,蒸发至冒白烟,冷却,加水溶解盐类后冷…     

Sequential transition States and the valley-ridge inflection point in the formation of a semibullvalene

[structure: see text] Two sequential transition states are calculated at the B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) level for the deazetization of 3b. The intrinsic reaction coordinate for loss of nitrogen passes through a transition state and then a valley-ridge inflection point and ultimately leads to the transition state for the Cope rearrangement of semibullvalene 4b. The energetic and geometrical consequences are discussed.     

Mössbauer Spectroscopic Studies of Chlorostannate(II) Complexes in Frozen Aqueous Solutions

Mössbauer parameters of frozen aqueous solutions of Sn(ClO₄)₂ in 0.5 M HClO₄ did not change with the concentration of NaClO₄, so that it was used to keep the ionic strength at the desired level. When NaCl was added into Sn(ClO₄)₂ solutions, isomer shift did not change, but quadrupole splitting did. Therefore, stability constants were calculated from the quadrupole splitting data, which were in good agreement with the published values. The observed spectra could be resolved into components.     

Microstructure and Ion Exchange in Stearic Acid Langmuir-Blodgett Films Studied by Fourier Transform Infrared-Attenuated Total Reflection Spectroscopy

Fourier transform infrared-attenuated total reflection (FTIR-ATR) spectra have been recorded of 11-layer Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films of stearic acid deposited at various surface pressures (0.1, 15, and 35 mN/m), and the molecular orientation angles were evaluated quantitatively, which supplied insight into the molecular order with the alkyl chains tightly packed like crystal in the LB films deposited at the zero and higher surface pressures. These experimental results indicate that, in the Langmuir film as the precursor of LB films, stearic acid molecules self-aggregate to form two-dimensional crystalline domains already even at the zero surface pressure, which results in the inhomogeneity of monolayer. The analysis of dependence of nu(C=O) intensity on the surface pressure, surface density, and subphase temperature leads to the conclusion that the defects in LB films originate from the Langmuir film and be conserved upon deposition. Annealing below 50 degrees C and cooling could improve the monolayer homogeneity, and thus a defect-free or low-defect LB films can be deposited. Furthermore, ion exchange conducted in the LB films, on the other hand, confirms the existence of structure defects in LB films of stearic acid. The polar plane microstructure, lateral transport along the polar planes and the coordination types of stearic acid/cation system may be the rate-limiting process. The results have implication on the possible uses of stearic acid LB films as ion-exchange materials or sensors. Copyright 2001 Academic Press.     

Radiation Effects on Concentrated Potassium Hexacyanoferrate(III) Solutions

The neutron irradiated potassium hexacyanoferrate(III) solutions were analyzed for Fe(CN)₆^4?, Fe(CN)₆^3?, and Prussian blue. The retention values (1.1%) were constant throughout the pH and concentration ranges studied, and did not change with the length of irradiation. The complex behavior of the radiochemical yield of the Fe(CN)₆^4? and Prussian blue was attributed to the competition of the various reactions involved in the irradiation.     

Pulsed photothermal phase-shift spectroscopy for weak absorption measurement

A novel photothermal phase-shift spectroscopy configuration based on the retro-reflected beam interference has been developed and its operational principle is described. The weak absorption measurement ability of this technique is experimentally proven with a water/ethanol solution of standard Pyronine G dye and the limit of detection is found to be 1.8 x 10(-6) absorbance. Potential applications of the technique are discussed.
