Suggested calculations using transition density matrices

It is suggested that certain transition density matrices, N-representable in a limit, be used in a variational calculation. It is noted that such trial matrices should yield reasonable values for the ground state energies of small atoms or molecules provided a set of overlap integrals is maximised.

Zusammenfassung Es wird vorgeschlagen, bestimmte Übergangsdichtematrizen, die im Limit N-darstellbar sind, in einer Variationsrechnung zu benutzen. Es wird festgestellt, daß solche Näherungsmatrizen gute Werte für die Energie des Grundzustandes kleiner Atome oder Moleküle geben sollten, falls im Satz von Überlappungsintegralen maximiert wird.

Résumé On propose d'utiliser dans un calcul variationnel certaines matrices densité de transition, N représentables à la limite. Ces matrices d'essai devraient fournir des valeurs raissonnables pour l'énergie de l'état fondamental dans les petits atomes et les petites molécules à condition de maximiser un ensemble d'intégrales de recouvrement.

Perfluorinated anion-exchange polymer mercury film electrode for anodic stripping voltammetric determination of zinc(II): effect of model organic compounds

The determination of zinc ion (1-60 ng ml⁻¹) by anodic square-wave stripping voltammetry on an anion-exchange perfluorinated polymer Tosflex mercury film electrodes (TMFE) was evaluated. The detection limit was 0.1 ng ml⁻¹ Zn(II). The effect of various organic compounds (gelatin, albumin, starch, camphor, humic acid, Triton X-100, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB)) is explored. The results indicate that due to the size-exclusion and ion-exchange properties of Tosflex film, the TMFE is considerably more resistant to organic interference than the bare mercury film electrode.

Bidimensional mixtures of polyglutamic and myristic acid

Summary Monolayers of polyglutamic acid and of its mixtures with myristic acid at the water/air interface on subphase composed of solutions of hydrochloric acid only and solutions containing CaCl₂ and hydrochloric acid were studied. The comparison of the experimental data with the bidimensional state equation deduced theoretically is in agreement with the presence of the rigid macromolecular form of alpha helix type in the bidimensional state, as shown by other authors. So far as the mixtures are concerned, on both the support solutions the two components are miscible between one another in all the molar ratios considered. On the support solution free of Ca⁺⁺ ions, the bidimensional mixtures are more stable than either of the components. In particular at a 1/1 molar ratio a sharp minimum of the free surface energy of mixing is found. On support solutions containing Ca⁺⁺ ions, the mixtures especially those containing higher concentrations of myristic acid, are thermodynamically less stable than the components themselves.

Zusammenfassung Es werden an der Grenzfläche Wasser/Luft Monoschichten von Polyglutaminsäure und deren Mischungen mit Miristinsäure auf Unterlagen, die nur Salzsäutelösungen oder auch Ca⁺⁺ enthalten, studiert. Für die Polyglutaminsäure ist der Vergleich der experimentellen Daten mit den theoretischen Gleichungen des bidimensionalen Zustand übereinstimmend mit dem Vorhandensein in bidimensionalem Zustand einer makromolekularen starren Form des-Helixtyps, wie schon von anderen Autoren festgestellt wurde.Was die Mischungen betrifft, sind auf beiden Unterlagen die Komponenten miteinander mischbar in sämtlichen Verhältnissen, die in Betracht gezogen wurden. Auf einer Unterlage ohne Calciumionen sind die bidimensionalen Mischungen stabiler als die Komponenten allein. Insbesondere dem Verhältnis 1/1 entspricht ein ausgesprochenes Minimum der Freien Oberflächenenergie der Mischungen. Auf einer Unterlage, die Calciumionen enthält, insbesondere wenn die Mischungen reich an Miristinsäure sind, erweisen sie sich als thermodynamisch weniger stabil als die Komponenten.

Zur Thermochemie der Zinnhalogenide

The enthalpy change of the reaction at 298 K between Br₂ (l) and Sn(c) in CS₂ as solvent giving SnBr₄ (s) has been determined by calorimetry to be (?374, 2±1.4) kJ·mol^?1, [(?89.45±0.33) kcal·mol^?1]. By the same method the heat of solution of SnBr₄ (c) in CS₂ has been found to be (11.9±0.3) kJ·mol^?1, [(2.84±0.08) kcal·mol^?1]. Combining these results, a value of (?386.1±1.5) kJ·mol^?1, [(?92.3±0.4) kcal·mol^?1] is derived for the standard heat of formation of SnBr₄ (c). Substituting this figure in the thermochemical cycle hitherto used for calculating the heat of formation of SnBr₄ (c) gives ?124.3 kcal·mol^?1 for the standard heat of formation of SnCl₄ (l), which is in reasonable agreement with a recent determination of this quantity⁸.     

Ab Initio Study of Prednisolone, 6α-Fluoroprednisolone, 9α-Fluoroprednisolone,and 6α,9α-Difluoroprednisolone

A theoretical study of prednisolone, 6-fluoroprednisolone, 9-fluoroprednisolone, and 6,9-difluoroprednisolone has been performed at the ab initio HF/6-31G, MP2/6-31G, and B3LYP/6-31G levels. Structural information and the electronic features of prednisolone and its derivatives and the synergistic effect of 6,9-difluoroprednisolone was examined. Contrary to the AM1 and MNDO results, we found 9-fluoroprednisolone is more stable than the 6-fluoroprednisolone. The increased corticosteroid activity of the 6,9-difluoroprednisolone is most likely due to electronic effects, mainly related to the receptor binding.     

Isoochotensine,a New Spirobenzyusoquinoline Alkaloid from: Corydalis Ochotensis Turcz

Separation of the phenolic fraction of Corydalis ochotensis afforded a new spirobenzylisoquinoline alkaloid, isoochotensine ( 1 ) and three known alkaloids, ochotensine ( 3 ), cheilanthifoline ( 7 ), and lienkonine ( 9 ) as their acetyl derivatives together with a known nonphenolic alkaloid, ochotensimine ( 5 ). Their structures were elucidated by the spectral data.     

IR- und Raman-Spektren einiger Kaliumpentafluorometallate-monohydrate

The IR- and Raman Spectra of several compounds of the stoichiometryM ₂ ^I M ^IIIF₅H₂O and their deuterated analogs have been interpreted on the basis of their crystal structures. The compounds studied were divided into two classes regarding the bonding of water molecules. The main spectroscopic difference between the two classes was found in the region of H₂O vibrations in good agreement with theoretical predictions. The metal—fluorine and metal—oxygene vibrations gave no direct information concerning the two types of water.
