A metric jet can be linear without being the metric jet of a continuous linear map. We begin with giving such an amazing example and then we get interested in tangentiable maps whose tangent jet at a point is precisely a linear metric jet. For such maps, a local inversion theorem is still true. 相似文献
New redox-active 1,2,5,6-tetrakis(guanidino)-naphthalene compounds, isolable and storable in the neutral and deep-green dicationic redox states and oxidisable further in two one-electron steps to the tetracations, are reported. Protonation switches on blue fluorescence, with the fluorescence intensity (quantum yield) increasing with the degree of protonation. Reactions with N-halogenosuccinimides or N-halogenophthalimides led to a series of new redox-active halogeno- and succinimido-/phthalimido-substituted derivatives. These highly selective reactions are proposed to proceed via the tri- or tetracationic state as the intermediate. The derivatives are oxidised reversibly at slightly higher potentials than that of the unsubstituted compounds to dications and further to tri- and tetracations. The integration of redox-active ligands in the transition-metal complexes shifts the redox potentials to higher values and also allows reversible oxidation in two potentially separated one-electron steps. 相似文献
A series of substituted 3‐azabicyclo[4.1.0]hept‐4‐ene derivatives were prepared and analysed by cyclic voltammetry. Preparative aerobic electrochemical oxidation reactions were then carried out. Three original endoperoxides were isolated, characterised and subjected to antimalarial and cytotoxicity activity assays. 相似文献
In order to deliver reliable results for a multitude of different scenarios, e.g. emergency preparedness, environmental monitoring, nuclear decommissioning and waste management, there is a constant process of method development in the field of radioanalytical chemistry. This work presents the results of a method comparison exercise aimed at quantifying 90Sr and 239,240Pu in environmental soil samples, with the intention of evaluating the performance and applicability of different methods. From the methods examined in this work, recommendations are given in order to find a radioanalytical measurement procedure, for 90Sr and 239,240Pu analysis, which is fit-for-purpose for a particular scenario.
The conditions required for the accurate measurement of the sulfur content of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) by conductometric titration are discussed. CNCs from sulfuric acid hydrolysis are electrostatically stabilized in aqueous suspension due to the introduction of charged sulfate ester groups onto the surface of the crystallites during reaction. The sulfur content thus largely reflects the surface charge of the crystals, and is crucial to the characterization and understanding of material properties. Conductometric titration is commonly used to quantify the sulfur content of CNCs, however, the exhaustive removal of free acid by dialysis and the necessity, type, quantity and duration of ion-exchange resin treatments are not always consistent. Here we explore the standard conditions of dialysis, ion-exchange, and the reproducibility of titration results. Extensive dialysis is found to be effective in the removal of free acid, but similar results are also achieved in shorter times and with less water using membrane ultrafiltration. It is also shown that the conditions of ion-exchange most commonly employed in the literature can lead to inaccurate sulfur contents. Finally, good agreement is obtained between the sulfur contents of different CNC batches prepared using the same hydrolysis conditions, and from titration and elemental analysis when thoroughly purified, well-dispersed samples, and appropriate resin conditions are used. 相似文献
