Eine neue photometrische Eisenbestimmung mit Äthylendiamintetraessigsäure

Zusammenfassung Es wird gezeigt, daß man mit Hilfe von Komplexon-III Eisen-III-Verbindungen nach Überführung in gelbgefärbte Komplexverbindungen, deren Absorptionsmaximum unterhalb 366 m liegt, photometrisch bestimmen kann. Die Extinktion ist bei gleicher Eisenkonzentration vomph-Wert abhängig und in denph-Bereichen zwischen 0,80 und 2,80 sowie zwischen 3,92 und 5,10 konstant, so daß beide Bereiche zur Bestimmung geeignet sind. Es ist beachtlich, daß die komplexe Bindung erst oberhalbph 10,5 zerfällt und Eisenhydroxyd ausflockt. DasLambert-Beersche Gesetz ist in dem Konzentrationsbereich zwischen 4g und 500g Eisen/ml streng erfüllt. Die Bestimmung ist vielen anderen bisher bekannten photometrischen Eisenbestimmungsverfahren überlegen, da schwächere Komplexbildner (z. B. Weinsäure) und sonstige Lösungspartner nicht stören.

Summary It was found that iron (III) compounds can be determined photometrically by the aid of complexone III. The yellow complex compound has an absorption maximum below 366 m. The extinction, at equal iron concentration, is dependent on theph value. It is constant inph ranges between 0.80 and 2.80 and also between 3.92 and 5.10, so that either of these ranges is suitable for this determination. It should be noted that the complex decomposes only aboveph = 10.5; iron hydroxide separates. TheLambert-Beer law is strictly followed in the concentration range 4g and 500g iron/ml. This method of determination is far superior to many familiar photometric procedures for iron because weaker complex-formers (e. g. tartaric acid) and other cosolutes do not interfere.

Résumé On montre que les composés du fer-III peuvent être dosés photométriquement à l'aide de la complexone-III après transformation en un complexe coloré en jaune dont l'absorption maximum se trouve au-dessous de 366 m. L'extinction dépend duph pour des concentrations égales en fer et se montre constante entre 0,80 et 2,80, de même qu'entre 3,92 et 5,10, de sorte que ces deux domaines conviennent pour le dosage. Il faut remarquer que le complexe ne se détruit qu'au-dessus deph 10,5 et l'hydroxyde ferrique flocule. La loi deLambert-Beer est satisfaite dans le domaine de concentration entre 4 g et 500 g de fer/ml. La méthode de dosage est de beaucoup supérieure aux méthodes connues jusqu'ici pour la détermination colorimétrique du fer du fait que les complexants les plus faibles, comme l'acide tartrique, ne gênent pas.

The Adsorption of Polyvinylpyrrolidone on Kaolinite Saturated with Sodium Chloride

The adsorption of two different molecular weights of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) (M(w)=44,000 and M(w)=360,000 g mol(-1)) from water on kaolinite saturated with sodium chloride has been studied. The adsorption of PVP increases slowly as temperature increases. The adsorption of PVP on the kaolinite was studied by considering Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra, X-ray diffraction patterns, and dielectric constants. During the adsorption process, PVP interacts with saturating sodium cations and possibly forces some of them onto the edges of the kaolinite; thus, the dielectric constant of saturated kaolinite is reduced after PVP adsorption.

Radioanalytical quality control of11C,18F and123I-labelled compounds and radiopharmaceuticals

Radiochemical quality control using high performance high pressure liquid chromatography and, to some extent, gas chromatography is described for a variety of carrier-free¹¹C-,¹⁸F-and¹²³I-labelled compounds and radiopharmaceuticals. The particular problems associated with the handling of carrier-free compounds labelled with short-lived radionuclides are outlined, and chromatographic data are given for the separation and purification of such products.     

The correction for the counting yield in nuclear spectroscopy

Pulser and live timer are alternate tools. Dead time effects can be expressed in terms of a pulse rate dependent factor of the counting yield. The task of their correction should be shifted from the live timer of the ADC to a central timing unit. A new method is proposed, combining the advantages of the pulser and the live timer, where by each selected and accepted event is adjoined to a clock time interval and each selected but not accepted event to a dead time interval. The length of each interval is determined by the arrival of the next selected event.     

Synthese und Konfigurationszuordnung von potentiell antimikrobiellen 5,6-Dihydroxyisobenzofuranonen

Summary Oxidation of isobenzofuranone1 yielded in a diastereoselective reaction epoxide2. Acidolysis of2 resulted in a mixture oftrans-glycols6 a (88%) and7 a (4%), which were separated by crystallization. The relative configuration of6 a and7 a at the chiral centers 3 a, 5, 6, and 7 a was determined by¹H-NMR-spectroscopy and X-ray analysis of O-acetylated and 7 a-methylated derivatives.

     

Hyperfine structure of SrCl X2∑+ by microwave—optical polarization spectroscopy

The hyperfine structure of the X²∑⁺, υ = 0 state of ⁸⁸Sr³⁵Cl has been investigated using microwave—optical polarization spectroscopy. Resolution of the hyperfine structure in transitions between low-lying rotational states has allowed the first determination of magnetic dipole and electric quadrupole coupling constants. The results are: b = 18.663(89) MHz, c = 7.72(30)MHz, and eqQ = 3.96(84) MHz.     

Matrixreaktion von SiO mit F2. IR-spektroskopischer nachweis von molekularem OSiF2

SiO reacts with F₂, in an argon matrix after photolysis with a high-pressure mercury lamp to form OSiF₂. Isotopic splitting (¹⁶O/¹⁸O and ²⁸Si/²⁹Si) and force constant calculations show that the 6 fundamentals observed can be assigned to the planar molecule OSiF₂. The value of the force constant of the SiO double bond, which was calculated as approximately 9 × 10² N m^?1 in earlier investigations, is confirmed by this work.     

Methyl groups as probes for proteins and complexes in in-cell NMR experiments

Studying protein components of large intracellular complexes by in-cell NMR has so far been impossible because the backbone resonances are unobservable due to their slow tumbling rates. We describe a methodology that overcomes this difficulty through selective labeling of methyl groups, which possess more favorable relaxation behavior. Comparison of different in-cell labeling schemes with three different proteins, calmodulin, NmerA, and FKBP, shows that selective labeling with [(13)C]methyl groups on methionine and alanine provides excellent sensitivity with low background levels at very low costs.     

Adrenaline recognition in water

Host molecule 1 displays a high affinity in water towards catecholamines and especially related structures such as beta-blockers with extended aromatic pi-faces (up to 7x10(3) M(-1) for each single complexation step or 5x10(7) M(-2) for both steps). The amphiphilic structural design leads to an extensive self-association of host molecules through their aromatic flanks. Above a cmc (critical micelle concentration) of 3x10(-4) M, host 1 forms micelles that produce a favorable microenvironment for hydrophobic interactions with the included guest molecules. Electrostatic attraction of the ammonium alcohol by the phosphonate anions is thus combined with hydrophobic contributions between the aromatic moieties. Ionic hydrogen bonds with polar OH or NH groups of the guest enforce the non-covalent interactions, and finally lead to increased specificity. Both its affinity and its selectivity towards adrenergic receptor substrates are greatly enhanced if the receptor molecule 1 is transferred from water into a lipid monolayer. Catecholamines and beta-blockers lead to drastically different effects at concentrations approaching the micromolar regime. Especially beta-blockers with minute structural changes can be easily distinguished from each other. In both cases, extensive hydrophobic interactions with a self-associated and/or self-organized microenvironment are largely responsible for the observed high efficiency and specificity.
