Investigating and ordering Quadrilaterals and their analogies in space—problem fields with various aspects

Problem fields with one or two generating problems and possibilities of varying existing problems give a good chance for self-activities of students and can be used for reaching different general aims. In this paper some topics concerning quadrilaterals will be presented. I hope they will animate teachers for more problem orientation in mathematics education. First we will reflect about different types of convex and non-convex quadrilaterals and possibilities of ordering them. Then we focus on middle-quadrilaterals and types of quadrilaterals with special middle-quadrilaterals as well as their logical ordering. Finally we investigate the analogies in space to the parallelogram and its sub-types and order them in the “house of parallelepipeds”.     

Ferrocenyl-substituted fluorescent anthracenes and anthraquinones

The synthesis of a range of ferrocene-substituted ethynylanthracenes and 1,1^′-(bis-(2-ethenylanthraquinoyl)ferrocene has been achieved. The synthesis relies on the production of ferrocenylanthraquinones as key precursors. The products were obtained in the reactions of ferrocenylanthraquinones with phenylethynyllithium or trimethylsilylethynyllithium followed by reduction with tin chloride. The key products such as 1- and 2-ferrocenyl(9,10-bis-phenylethynyl)anthracenes have been characterised by X-ray single crystal diffraction.     

Precipitation and characterization of uniform submicrometer lead titanate particles. Part II: Reaction mechanism

The chemical mechanism of the precipitation of lead titanium peroxohydroxide particles in a solution of nitrilotriacetate (NTA) complexes of lead and titanium peroxo-hydroxide is envisioned as the interaction between cations of lead hydroxide and anions of polymeric titanium peroxo-hydroxide.     

Einfluß der Dilatation einer ebenen Phasengrenzfläche auf den Stoffdurchgang

The common methods for calculating the mass transfer across liquid-liquid interfaces in technical applications take into account the mass transfer resistances within the bulk phases. The transfer resistance of the interface and a possible coupling between the momentum and the mass transport is not taken into account. In the present paper a survey is given of theoretical approaches which can describe this coupling and the additional mass transfer resistance. A theory is proposed by Hampe which can be used to explain the coupling between momentum and mass transport employing thermodynamics of irreversible processes. On the basis of this work, the influence of the dilatation of a flat interface on the mass transfer is deduced. It is also concluded from this theory that the diffusion coefficients within the bulk phases are coupled near the thermodynamic equilibrium.
