Die Schmelzdiagramme der Systeme CsN3/Zn(N3)2 und KN3/Zn(N3)2

The phase diagrams of the systems CsN₃/Zn(N₃)₂ and KN₃/Zn(N₃)₂ have been obtained employing the microscopic technique ofL. Kofler andA. Kofler. Within the system CsN₃/Zn(N₃)₂ three eutectics at 148°C, 142°C, and 210°C were found. Besides Cs₂Zn(N₃)₄, melting incongruently in the interval 153°C to 170°C, there exist two further compounds of the most probable composition Cs₃Zn₂(N₃)₇ and CsZn₂(N₃)₅, melting congruently at 170°C and 210°C, resp. In the system KN₃/Zn(N₃)₂ there exist two eutectics at 203°C and 172°C and two compounds, one of them, i.e. K₂Zn(N₃)₄, melting congruently at 206°C, the other one, with composition KZn₃(N₃)₇ or KZn₄(N₃)₉, melting incongruently at 210°C.

Electron transfer initiated Diels-Alder reaction with allenes as dienophiles

The first examples of using aryl allenes as dienophiles in the electron transfer induced Diels-Alder reaction are described. According to mechanistic tests the reaction proceeds via a cycloaddition of the diene^+· to the allene.     

Zum Mechanismus massenspektrometrischer Fragmentierungsreaktionen.—I Methoxygruppenwanderungen in den Massenspektren der Methyläther von linearen und verzweigten aliphatischen Polyalkoholen

The formation of 1,1-dimethoxy-alkyl rearrangement ions in the mass spectra of methyl ethers of linear diols, 1,2,3-triols and of derivatives of pentaglycerol and pentaerythritol has been investigated by deuterium labelling and mass measurements. Methoxy group migrations do not occur, or at least only to a small amount, in the mass spectra of the diol-dimethyl ethers. The mass spectra of methyl ethers of 1,2,3-triols exhibit characteristic peaks of the rearrangement ions +CH(OCH₃)₂ and +CR(OCH₃)₂. These ions arise by a 1,3-migration of a methoxy group, probably during a one step degradation of the molecular ion to give a molecule methyl alkenyl ether and a H-atom or alkyl radical as neutral fragments. Large peaks of the rearrangement ion +CH(OCH₃)₂ are observed in the mass spectra of compounds of the following type: A radical ion, formed by loss of HY from the molecular ion, rearranges by methoxy group migration in the mass spectra of these substances. Rearrangement by migration of hydroxy and acetoxy groups are also observed, but no migration of a Cl-atom.     

Selektivierung geringer Mengen Kupfer mit Polyäthylenimin-Zellulose

Zusammenfassung Polyäthyleniminzellulosen sorbieren Cu²⁺ durch koordinative Bindung als Zentralion des sekundären Stickstoffs des Polyäthylenimins im P_H-Bereich 3,5 bis 4,5 selektiv aus verd.

Selectivation of small amounts of copper with polyethyleneimine-cellulose

Summary Polyethyleneimine celluloses selectively sorb Cu²⁺ from dilute solutions through coordinative bonding as central ion of the secondary nitrogen of polyethyleneimine in the p_H-range of 3.5–4.5. 10g of copper may be separated from 10₅-fold excesses of other transition metals, then eluted with dilute hydrochloric acid and determined photometrically with diethyldithiocarbamate. The method is suitable for determining 0.001% copper in zinc, manganese, cobalt, nickel, cadmium, and aluminium as well as in solutions whose coppercontent is 0.02 ppm.

     

Surface studies on polycrystalline YBa2Cu3O7−δ with Auger electron and low-energy electron energy-loss spectroscopy

Chemical and electronic properties of scrapecleaned YBa₂Cu₃O_7–(YBCO) ceramics, which were also annealed in vacuum or exposed to H atoms or O₂ molecules, were studied at room temperature by applying Auger electron (AES) and low-energy electron energy-loss spectroscopy (LEELS). Scanning electron micrographs showed such scraped surfaces to consist mainly of small, fractured YBCO crystallites, i.e. of clean YBCO surfaces. With only one exception, all low-energy AES lines were found to be shifted in energy compared to data recorded with surfaces of metallic Cu and Y. The analysis of the high-energy AES lines indicated the existence of non-stoichiometric material in grain boundaries. At least 25 different LEELS features were recorded. The 24.9-eV energy loss, which is due to the excitation of bulk valence-electron plasmons, indicates an enhanced oxygen deficit _s 0.8 at scrape-cleaned YBCO surfaces. Annealing of scraped YBCO samples at approximately 700 K in vacuum and also their exposure to hydrogen atoms resulted in an additional oxygen depletion within a few atomic layers near to the surfaces. These oxygen deficiencies were found to increase the intensity ratios of low-and high-energy AES lines of Cu, Ba, and Y and to intensify the energy-loss peak at 4.4 eV which has been attributed to O–Cu–O dumbbells.     

Description of sputter removal during auger depth profiling of rough oxide layers

A model for describing sputter depth profiles on rough surfaces is presented; this is based on the assumption that sputter removal occurs at preferred sites due to the intrinsically rough surface. The progress of sputtering is described by the growth and overlap of statistically distributed holes in the surface layer. Within this assumption the variation of the Auger signal intensity during sputtering is described by simple functions. The model is applied to the sputter removal of oxide layers formed on INCOLOY 800 in hot water.     

Theoretical and experimental analysis of the fine structure and hyperfine structure in the configurations 5p6s and 5p6p of the antimony II spectrum

From 17 transitions in the singly ionized Sb II spectrum the hyperfine structure (A andB splitting constants) of the complete excited configurations 5p6s and 5p6p were determined by means of optical interference spectroscopy. In addition, a theoretical analysis both of the fine structure and also of the hyperfine structure was carried out (in the case of 5p6p of the general typenpn′p for the first time in literature). For the 3 levels 5p6p ³ P ₁, 5p7p ³ D ₂ and 5p6p ¹ P ₁ a different classification was found and consistent values for the fine structure parameters, mixing coefficients and single electron hyperfine structure splitting parametersa _nl ^ik andb _nl ^ik were obtained. The three new determinations in Sb II of the quadrupole moment (in barn) of¹²¹Sb (Q(5p6s)=?0.55(5);Q(5p6p)=?0.57(5) from the 5p-electron andQ(5p6p)=?0.7(2) from the 6p-electron) are well agreeing with each other but differ to former values from SbI. The core polarization and isotope shift of the lines, however, are compatible with our former results in SbI.     

Stereochemistry of Polynuclear Cadmium(II)thioglycolates: Crystal Structure of [ICd8(SCH2CH2OH)12]3+ · 3I− · H2O

Crystals of the title compound are triclinic, a = 27.87 Å, b = 10.77 Å, c = 12.94 Å, α 73.1°, β 116.1°, γ 120.0°, space group P1 . The structure consists of octanuclear ions: Eight Cd(II) ions are found at the corners of a distorted cube, the center of the cube is occupied by an iodide, the twelve thioglycolate sulfur atoms bridge the twelve edges of the cube thereby forming a distorted icosahedron. Cadmium ions are either five or seven coordinate. The phase problem for this structure was solved using a combination of very high and very low E-values.     

The mass spectra of TMS-ethers of deuterated polyalcohols. A contribution to the structural investigation of sugars

Aldoses, ketoses, deoxy-aldoses, deoxy-keto-aldoses, lactones, deoxy-lactones and other similar compounds are readily reduced by NaBD₄ to the corresponding polyalcohol. Their trimethylsilyl ethers show characteristic mass spectra which allow firm assignments of the position of deuteration and hence of the nature of the starting sugar compound. The g.c./m.s. coupling technique even allows trace analysis since full information can be derived from the most intense fragments of the mass spectra.
