Gas-chromatographische Trennung isomerer aromatischer C6-C10-Kohlenwasserstoffe

Separation of isomeric aromatic hydrocarbons from each other has been obtained using packed columns and Bentone 34 modified with silicone oil and lanolin. For maximum resolution the proportions of the modifying agents are very important. Retention data and chromatograms of two different column types are given (column 1∶6% Bentone 34; 2,5% lanolin; 1,5% silicone oil. Column 2∶10% silicone oil; 5% bentone 34; 4% lanolin)     

Studies on the preparation and characterization of monodisperse polystyrene latices V.: The preparation of cationic latices

Summary Methods are described for the preparation of monodisperse polystyrene latices using as initiators, 2-azo-bis-(2-methylpropamidinium) dichloride and 2-azo-bis-(2-isopropyliminazolium) dichloride. The preparations were carried out in the absence of any added surface active agents. The effect on particle size of varying initiator concentration, monomer concentration, temperature and ionic strength was examined and the conditions defined for preparing monodisperse latices, with particles in the size range 0.2 to 1m. Electrophoretic measurements confirmed that the latex particles were cationic. The evidence obtained suggested that the charged sites on the particle surface were amidinium groupings. The latices were not stable at pH values greater than 11 and prolonged heating at 90° also caused coagulation.

Zusammenfassung Es wurden Methoden zur Darstellung monodisperser Polystyrol-Latices unter Verwendung von 2-azo-bis-(2-methylpropamidinium)-dichlorid und 2-azo-bis-(2-isopropyliminazolium)-dichlorid als Initiator beschrieben. Die Darstellung erfolgte in Abwesenheit von grenzflächenaktiven Verbindungen. Der Einfluß unterschiedlicher Initiator- und Monomerkonzentrationen, der Temperatur und der lonenstärke auf die Teilchengröße wurde untersucht und die Bedingungen festgelegt, unter denen monodisperse Latices mit Teilchen im Größenbereich von 0,2-1m erhalten werden. Elektrophoretische Messungen bestätigten, daß die Latexteilchen kationisch sind. Die Ladungen auf der Teilchenoberfläche sind Amidiniumgruppen. Die Latices waren bei pH-Werten über 11 nicht stabil; längeres Erhitzen auf 90° führte ebenfalls zur Koagulation.

Gradient elution capillary electrochromatography and hyphenation with nuclear magnetic resonance

Coupling of gradient capillary electrochromatography (gradient CEC) and capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) with nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) was performed using a recently developed capillary NMR interface. This technique was applied for the analysis of pharmaceuticals and food. An analgesic was investigated using isocratic and gradient continuous-flow CEC-NMR. Comparison of the results demonstrated the superiority of gradient CEC over isocratic CEC. Aspartame and caffeine, both ingredients of soft beverages, were separated and analyzed by continuous flow CZE-NMR. The order of elution could be reversed by altering the pH. This reversal led to an increased sample concentration in the NMR detection cell, thus allowing the acquisition of a totally correlated spectroscopy (TOCSY) two-dimensional (2-D) spectrum of the synthetic peptide aspartame.
