On the preparation of 2-halo alkyl substituted 1,3-dioxolanes and 1,3-dioxanes

Several methods for the preparation of 2-perfluoromethyl-substituted 1,3-dioxolanes and 1,3-dioxanes were tried. The method of Nerdel for the preparation of 1,3-dioxolanes, making use of the condensation between carbonyl compounds and oxiranes, was found to be suitable for perhalogenated ketones and aldehydes, and may even be extended to oxetanes, affording 2-perhaloalkylated 1,3-dioxanes.The yield of the cyclic acetals drops with inreasing substitution.     

Untersuchungen zum Mechanismus der Mechanochemischen Synthese von Verbindungen aus dem System SnS mit Hilfe des Mössbauer-Effektes

By means of Mössbauer and X-ray structural investigation it was shown that the compounds Sn₃S₄ and Sn₂S₃ can be synthesized mechanochemically. The influence of an inert additive on the explosive character of the mechanochemical synthesis of tin sulfides was investigated. A transition from the explosive way of synthesis to the nonexplosive one upon adding great quantities of inert material was observed. A mechanism explaining this phenomenon was suggested. The initiation of a high-temperature synthesis reaction by the heat effect of a mechanochemical explosive reaction was observed for the first time.     

Effect of temperature on the solubility of carnallite type double salts

A method based on Pitzer's model has been used for calculation of the solubilities of carnallite type double salts crystallizing in the systems MeX–MgX₂–H₂O (Me=Li, NH₄, K, Rb, Cs; X=Cl, Br). The solubility of congruently soluble double salts was also determined experimentally at 25–75°C. The results from studies of the solubility diagrams of ternary carnallite type water-salt systems over a wide temperature range are summarized. It is found that the width of the crystallization region for each of the salts can be explained by the relative differences in the solubilities of the ternary solution components (MeX, MgX₂·6H₂O and MeX·MgX₂·6H₂O) and by a change of temperature, and by the effect of temperature on the solubility. A method is proposed for calculating Pitzer's ternary parameters of interionic interaction (_MN and _MNX) on the basis of experimental data for the solubility in water of the double salts crystallizing in the corresponding ternary water-salt systems.     

Thermal decompositions of kaolinite intercalation compounds

Through a combination of X-ray diffraction and thermal analysis (simultaneous TG-DTG-DTA and quasi-isothermal TG), it was shown that the molar ratio intercalation agent/kaolinite in all intercalation compounds is approximately 1. In a saturated atmosphere of the corresponding intercalation agent, the intercalation compounds are stable up to more than 150 °C.Decomposition of the potassium acetate intercalation compound proceeds simultaneously with the dehydroxylation of kaolinite at an extrapolated onset temperature of 360 °C. The high-temperature reactions (dehydroxylation and transformation) of kaolinite obtained through the decomposition of intercalation compounds with volatile intercalation agents depend on the conditions applied during decomposition.

Zusammenfassung Mittels Röntgenbeugung und thermischer Analyse (simultane TG-DTG-DTA und quasi-isotherme-quasi-isobare TG) konnte gezeigt werden, daß das molare Verhältnis Einlagerungsmedium/Kaolinit in allen Einlagerungsverbindungen etwa 1 ist. In gesättigter Atmosphäre des jeweiligen Einlagerungsmediums ist die Einlagerungsverbindung stabil bis über 150 °C. Die Zersetzung der Kaliumacetat-Einlagerungsverbindung läuft zusammen mit der Dehydroxylation des Kaolinits bei einer extrapolierten onset-Temperatur von 360 °C ab. Die Hochtemperaturreaktionen (Dehydroxylation, Phasenneubildung) von Kaolinit, der aus der Zersetzung von Einlagerungsverbindungen mit flüchtigen Einlagerungsmedien erhalten würde, werden von den Zersetzungsbedingungen beeinflußt.

Rheological analysis of triblock copolymer-microemulsion networks

The rheological properties of microemulsion-triblock copolymer [poly(oxyethylene)-b-polyisoprene-b-poly(oxyethylene)] networks were studied by oscillatory shear measurements. The principal viscoelastic pattern of our systems stays the same whether the surfactant is ionic or nonionic. A closer examination shows, however, the enormous influence of the respective phase behavior of the underlying microemulsions. Also, specific interactions between the surfactants and the hydrophilic poly(oxyethylene) blocks lead to a significant effect on the formation of network structures.Characteristic rheological data such as plateau moduli and relaxation times for a series of different samples were derived differing in polymer or droplet concentrations, apart from the molecular weights of the poly-(oxyethylene) and the polyisoprene blocks. Finally, we could construct polymer and droplet concentration invariant master — mastercurves using the temperature invariant mastercurves.

Kompressionsverhalten und Gleichgewichtsspreitungsdrucke binärer monomolekularer Dipalmitoylkephalin/Dimyristoylkephalin-Mischungen

1. The concentration dependence of theF/A-isotherms (premixed spreading, separate spreading) and the equilibrium spreading pressuresF ^e of the system dipalmitoylcephaline/dimyristoyl-cephaline were studied atT=298 K. The results were analysed and compared by means of thermodynamics with respect to miscibility of the components.
2. The spreading technique (pre-mixed spreading, separate spreading (with and without barrier), does not essentially influence the run of theF/A-isotherm. Alone, the collaps pressuresF _K differ.
3. The concentration dependence of theF/A-isotherms of premixed spread monolayers is analysed in terms of theA-x ^σ-diagram. The additivity of molecular areas at all surface pressures are assumed to indicate complete miscibility of the cephalins.
4. The phase rule according to Crisp was applied to analyse the spreading diagram in connection with the phase diagram of the mixtures in bulk. The results show that the cephalins are completely miscible in the monolayer.
5. The experimental collaps pressuresF _K of pre-mixed spread monolayers are very much larger than the equilibrium collapse presuresF _K calculated according to Garrett. The difference indicate the strong supercompression of mixed film during the compression.

     

Non-radioactive determination of PTH and dabsyl phosphoamino acids by capillary electrophoresis

Summary Capillary electrophoresis is a novel technique in the non-radioactive determination of phosphoamino acids. The main advantage of the method presented is the high selectivity and the ability to separate all phosphoamino acid derivatives. Non-radioactive determination of PTH or dabsyl phosphoamino acids by capillary electrophoresis provides a fast and simple screening procedure for all O-phosphorylated amino acids in protein and peptides in the low picomolar range.

A delta-function method for the n-th approximation of relaxation or retardation time spectrum from dynamic data

A function series g(x; n, m) is presented that converges in the limiting case n and m = constant to the delta-function located at x = = 1. For every finite n, there exists 2n+1(–nmn) approximations of the delta-function _(n)(x–x _n,m ). x _n,m is the argument where the function reaches its maximum. A formula for the calculation is given.The delta-function approximation is the starting point for the approximative determination of the logarithmic density function of the relaxation or retardation time spectrum. The n-th approximation of density functions based on components of the complex modulus (G*) or the complex compliance (J*) is given. It represents an easy differential operator of order n.This approach generalizes the results obtained by Schwarzl and Staverman, and Tschoegl. The symmetry properties of the approximations are explained by the symmetry properties of the function g(x; n, m). Therefore, the separate equations for each approximation given by Tschoegl can be subsumed in a single equation for G and G, and in another for J and J.
