Beiträge zur chemie der Pyrrolpigmente, 10. Mitt.: Elektronenspektrometrische Untersuchungen über die Struktur von Quadratsäurederivaten

The structure of squaric acid derivatives was investigated on the basis of the PPP—SCF—LCAO—MO—CI method utilizing the π-electron densities and bond orders. The parameters used in the calculations were modified to fit the experimental data for representative compounds. The data were obtained by X-ray photoelectron spectrometry and electron absorption spectroscopy (including the polarization of the bands as determined by liquid crystal induced circular dichroism measurements).     

Thermische Polymerisation von Acenaphthylen

Zusammenfassung Acenaphthylen wurde durch Anpolymerisation und zweifache Hochvakuumsublimation gereinigt. Die Reinigungsmethode wird ausführlich beschrieben.Bei verschiedenen Temperaturen wurde mit einer dilatometrischen Methode die thermische Bruttogeschwindigkeit gemessen. Zwischen 95 und 105 °C giltk _br=7,0₈·10¹⁰ exp (– 30,9 kcal/RT).Die beträchtliche Aktivierungsenergie der Bruttoreaktion ist sowohl auf eine große Aktivierungsenergie der thermischen Startreaktion als auch auf eine relativ hohe Wachstumsaktivierungsenergie zurückzuführen.Das Polymerisationsverhalten von Acenaphthylen kann vermutlich aufgrund seiner sterischen Eigenschaften erklärt werden.

Summary Acenaphthylene was purified by partial polymerisation, followed by double stage high vacuum sublimation. The method of purification is described in detail.The thermal overall rate was measured at different temperatures by a dilatometric method. Between 95 and 105 °C the following relation holds:k _th=7,0₈ · 10¹⁰ exp (– 30,9 kcal/RT).The considerable energy of activation of the overall reaction depends on a relatively high energy of activation of both the thermal initiation and the propagation reaction.It is supposed, that the polymerisation behaviour of acenaphthylene depends mainly on its steric properties.

     

On-line Separation and Detection of Peptides by Capillary Electrophoresis / Electrospray FT-ICR-MS

Recently, capillary electrophoresis/electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (CE/ESI- MS) has been rapidly developed as a powerful analytical tool for charged species ranged from small molecules such as carboxylic acids1, phenolic compounds2, metal species3, tetramines4, herbicides5, drugs and drug metabolites6 to peptides and proteins7, 8. The ESI mode has proven to be sensitive, versatile and relatively easy to use in combination with CE. CE confers rapid analysis and efficient separ…     

Das Schwingungsspektrum von Magnesium-orthovanadat

The infrared and laser-Raman spectra of crystalline Mg₃(VO₄)₂ are reported and a factor group analysis for the full lattice is presented to support the discussion. The 1,000 to 600 cm^?1 region of the spectrum is essentially related to internal (stretching) modes of the greatly distorted VO₄ tetrahedra, whereas the bands in the low frequency region must be assigned to complex vibrations originating in the interaction of the bending vibrations of the tetrahedral groups with the external modes.     

Mesoscale organization of CuO nanoribbons: formation of "dandelions"

A two-tiered organizing scheme with multiple-length scales for construction of dandelion-like hollow CuO microspheres has been elucidated: (1) mesoscale formation of rhombic building units from smaller nanoribbons via oriented aggregation and (2) macroscopic organization of these units into the CuO microspheres. This self-assembly concept may also be applicable to other metal oxides by creating geometric constraints for constructional units.     

Das dielektrische Verhalten von Polyäthern zwischen Mikrowellen- und Infrarot-Gebiet

Zusammenfassung Es wurde die Absorption und Dispersion verschiedener Polyäther im Mikrowellengebiet und im fernen IR untersucht. Mit wachsender Sauerstoffzahl in der Kette werden die Torsions- und Biegeschwingungen wachsend IR-aktiv. Ihre Frequenzlagen ändern sich mit dem zunehmend polaren Charakter der Struktur. Die Analogie zwischen der Verschiebung der Schwingungsfrequenzen und dem Verlauf der Schmelztemperaturen wird diskutiert.Mit zunehmend polarem Charakter steigen der Temperaturkoeffizient der Molpolarisation und die Differenz (–n ²) der Dielektrizitätskonstanten im Mikrowellengebiet und im optischen Bereich stark an. Ein Vergleich mit der Höhe der Dispersionsstufen im fernen IR und deren Temperaturabhängigkeit ergab, daß diese zusätzliche Polarisation nicht allein durch die IR-aktiven Banden bedingt ist. Sie muß gekoppelt sein mit dem ebenfalls stark anwachsenden Untergrundverlust im gesamten mm- und sub-mm-Gebiet.

Summary Absorption and dispersion of several polyethers were measured in the microwave region and in the far infrared. The torsional vibrations become increasingly iractive with increasing number of oxygens in the chain. Their frequencies shift, too, in a manner analogues to the variation of the melting temperatures.The temperature coefficient of the mol polarization at 32 GHz and the difference (–n ²) between microwave and optical dielectric constant rise rapidly with increasing polar character of the structure. It was tried to correlate (–n ²) with the overall absorption of the skeletal vibrations. Height and temperature dependence of the far ir dispersion show, however, that the larger part of this additional polarization cannot be accounted for by the resonance absorption bands. It must be correlated with the background loss which extends over the whole mm and sub-mm range and also increases rapidly with increasingly polar structure.

Swelling effect onα-relaxation in high density polyethylene

Summary Swelling effects of carbon tetrachloride on the mechanical relaxations in the crystal mat and the melt-crystallized samples of high density polyethylene were studied using a torsion pendulum. A very strong-relaxation peak appears by swelling at the low temperature side of the original-relaxation for the crystal mat. It was shown that this strong-relaxation originates from the slippage between the highly swollen lamellae. For the melt-crystallized sample, the-relaxation peak is decreased by swelling, but its temperature is unchanged. This behavior suggests that the-relaxation in the melt-crystallized sample originates mainly from deformation process of intermosaic block region. The swelling effect on-relaxation was also discussed.

Zusammenfassung Quellungseffekte von Tetrachlorkohlenstoff auf das mechanische Relaxationsverhalten in Einkristall-Matten und schmelzkristallisierten Proben von linearem Polyäthylen wurden mit den Torsionspendeln untersucht. Ein sehr starkes-Maximum tritt durch die Quellung bei tieferen Temperaturen als der der-Relaxation in den nicht gequollenen Einkristall-Matten auf. Es wird gezeigt, daß diese starke-Relaxation auf das Gleiten der ausreichend gequollenen Lamellen zurückzuführen ist. Bei schmelzkristallisierten Proben wird das-Maximum durch die Quellung erniedrigt, seine Temperaturlage wird jedoch nicht verändert. Dies zeigt, daß die-Relaxation in der schmelzkristallisierten Probe hauptsäcblich auf Deformations-Prozessen in den Blöcken beruht. Auch die Quellungseffekte auf die-Relaxationen wurden diskutiert.

     

Orbital correlation effects: The independent pair-potential approximation with application to the ground state and first ionized state of boron hydride

A new method is proposed for calculating correlation effects in atomic and molecular systems. The basis of the method is the formulation of a set of partial configuration expansions which yield directly variational orbital correlation corrections which are appropriately summed in order to obtain an estimate of the total correlation energy. This method is applied to the ground state of boron hydride and its cation at the equilibrium distance of BH. The results of the method are compared in detail with independent electron pair results and second order CI results. It is further shown that multiple substitutions are approximately accounted for in this method and the extent to which they are included is compared with other approximations. Finally, three methods of increasing accuracy, aimed at reducing the necessary computational effort, are given for determining the vertical ionization potential. The most economical method yields an IP of 9.70 eV or 0.03 eV less than the experimental IP. Completion of the basis is estimated to improve this value to 9.77 eV.
