Reactions of tetrahydro-as-triazine-3(2H)-thiories with α, β-difunctional compounds

The results of allowing tetrahydro-as-triazine-3(2H)-thiones to react with various α,β-diiunctional compounds, such as, α-bromoethyl p-toluenesulfonate, chloroacetaldehyde, α-bromophenylacet-uldehyde, phenaeyl bromide, chloroacetonitrile, α-bromophenylaeelonitrile, and α-cyanobenzyl p-toluenesulfonate are discussed. These condensations give either a 5H-thiazolo[3,2-b]-as-triazine or a 2H-thiazolo[2,3-c]-as-triazine.     

Bulk and localized oxygen concentration measurements of steam-oxidized zircaloy-4 using nuclear analysis techniques

Quantitative measurement of both bulk and localized oxygen concentrations is of importance in the study of oxidation kinetics. We describe the combined application of two nuclear techniques, fast neutron activation analysis and (d, p) nuclear microprobe, to the determination of oxygen concentrations and surface profiles for steam-oxidized Zircaloy-4 cladding specimens. Results of measurements using these techniques are presented. Work partially supported by Electric Power Research Institute Contract T.S.A. No. 20.

Studies on Alkyl Metal Alkoxides of Aluminium, Gallium, and Indium. III. Properties and Vibrational Spectra of Dialkylgallium- and Indium Alkoxides The preparation and the properties of dialkyl metal alkoxides R₂MOR′ (with R = CH₃, CD₃, C₂H₅; R′ = CH₃, CD₃ and M = Ga, In) are described. The vibrational data (IR and Raman) of the trimeric methyl derivatives point to puckered six-membered M₃O₃-ring systems.     

Rapid and sensitive liquid chromatographic determination of carbamazepine suitable for use in monitoring multiple-drug anticonvulsant therapy.

A rapid, sensitive and selective method for the determination of carbamazepine and its major metabolite in plasma has been developed. Other commonly used anticonvulsants can be determined in the same procedure without interference. After extraction with dichloromethane, the components are separated by high-pressure liquid chromatography without further clean-up or concentration on a column packed with small-particle silica gel. The mean recovery from plasma is 98.6% with a relative standard deviation of 1.6%. The detection limit for carbamazepine is approximately 2 ng/ml, requiring 1 ml of plasma.     

Template synthesis in the nickel(II)–thiocarbohydrazide–propanone triple system

The complexing process proceeding in the Ni^II–thiocarbohydrazide (H₂N–H–NC(=S)–NH–NH₂)–propanone triple system in EtOH solution and nickel(II)hexacyanoferrate(II) gelatin-immobilized matrix has been studied. It has been found that in the first case, template synthesis leading, as a minimum, to formation of three coordination compounds of Ni^II with (N,N,S,S)-donor tetradentate ligands having NiL¹, NiL² and NiL³compositions where L¹ is 4,6,6-trimethyl-2,3,7,8-tetraazanonen-3-di(thiohydrazide)-1,9, L² is 4,6,6,12-tetrametyl-1,9-dithio-2,3,7,8,10,11-hexaazatridekadien-3,11-hydrazide-1 and L³ is 2,8,10,10,16-pentamethyl-5,13-dithio-3,4,6,7,11,12,14,15-octaazaheptadekatrien-2,7,15 is observed, whereas in the gelatin-immobilized matrix, a complexing process in the system considered does not occur.

ON THE LUMINESCENCE OF L-TRYPTOPHANE AND l-TYROSINE IN AQUEOUS SOLUTION AT 77dK INDUCED BY X-RAYS AND U.V.-LIGHT

Abstract— The lumincscence arising from L-tryptophane and L-tyrosine in aqueous solutions at 77K during irradiation with u.v.-light and with X-rays has been studied. The spectra obtained with the two types of radiation were largely similar, differing only in that the yields of phosphorescence relative to fluorescence were considerably enhanced in the case of X-irradiation. The decay times observed for the exponentially decaying phosphorescence, being 6.6 sec and 2.7 sec for tryptophane and tyrosine respectively, were the same for both kinds of irradiation. The G-value of the X-ray induced luminescence was about 10 for both tryptophane and tyrosine. Thus, about 30 per cent of the total energy absorbed from X-rays in these compounds was re-emitted as light.
It was concluded that the X-ray induced fluorescence and phosphorescence originate from the same levels as does the luminescence caused by u.v.-light, i.e. the lowest excited singlet and the lowest triplet level of the aromatic structure of these compounds. In the case of X-irradiation the enhanced ratios between the yields of phosphorescence and fluorescence indicated that some process other than excitation directly from the ground state contributed considerably to the luminescence yields. Assuming this process to be a recombination between the ionized molecule and its electron, it was calculated that the contribution to the luminescence yield from excitations directly from the ground state relative to that from ionizations, was negligible for both compounds.
