Zum thermischen Verhalten von Li3MnO4. II [1, 2]. Über α- und β- Li2MnO3

Thermal Behaviour of Li₃MnO₄. II. α- and β-Li₂MnO₃ By thermal decomposition of Li₃MnO₄ we obtained two new forms of Li₂MnO₃: α-Li₂MnO₃ crystallizes due to Guinier-Simon photographs cubic face-centered with a = 4.09₂ Å, β-Li₂MnO₃ hexagonal with a = 4,93, c = 14.24 Å, c/a = 2.89. α-Li₂MnO₃ is paramagnetic with μ = 3,82 B.M. Below the Neel temperature (≈? 50 K) β-Li₂MnO₃ is antiferromagnetic. Effective Coordination Numbers, ECoN, are calculated and discussed.     

SENSIBILISIERTE PHOTOOXYDATION DURCH METHYLENBLAU THIOPYRONIN UND PYRONIN-III. MITTEILUNG: ÜBER DEN MECHANISMUS DER PHOTOSENSIBILISIERTEN OXYDATION DES GUANOSINS DURCH THIOPYRONIN

Abstract— The thiopyronin-sensitized photooxidation of guanosine was investigated, using flash photolysis techniques. The reaction kinetics of three short-lived intermediates (the triplet state, the reduced radical, and the oxidized radical) were followed by spectroscopy. The influence of guanosine concentration on the reaction rate shows that only the oxidized radical (reaction 7) of thiopyronin is affected by guanosine. This suggests that the primary step in the photodynamic destruction of DNA is the oxidation of guanosine by the oxidized radical of thiopyronin (reaction 9). This mechanism is discussed in terms of the redox potentials of the donor and the acceptor for three different cases: (1) where the oxidation potential of the donor is more negative than that of the triplet state, the acceptor being the triplet state ( F^T ); (2) where the oxidation potential of the donor is between the potentials of the triplet state and the oxidized radical, the acceptor being the oxidized radical (F_ox); and (3) where the oxidation potential of the donor is more positive than the reduction potential of both the triplet state and the oxidized radical; in this case no electron exchange takes place. The thiopyronin-guanosine system is an example of the second case.

Über die Einwirkung von elementarem Schwefel und Schwefelwasserstoff auf Acetophenon oder Propiophenon in Gegenwart von Aminen oder Ammoniak

Zusammenfassung Bei Einwirkung von H₂S und Aminen bzw. NH₃ auf Acetophenon bzw. Propiophenon entstehen in Gegenwart elementaren Schwefels Bis-[1-phenylalkyl-(1)]-polysulfide, ohne Zusatz von Schwefel in der Hauptsache Bis-[1-phenylalkyl-(1)-]-disulfide. Die Struktur der linearen Di- und Polysulfide wurde durch Chlorolyse und Vergleich mit auf anderem Wege hergestellten Polysulfiden ermittelt.Die Reaktionen verlaufen über Ketimine als Zwischenstufe. Diese Intermediärprodukte wurden synthetisiert und geben bei der H₂S-Behandlung gleichfalls Bis-[1-phenylalkyl-(1)]-disulfide. Die Frage des Auftretens von Enaminen bei Verwendung von Morpholin als Aminkomponente wird diskutiert.Teil der Dissertation vonK. Halcour, T. H. Aachen, 1961.     

Infrared spectra of cyclic ethers and their derivatives

Data for the characteristic bands of cyclic ethers are reviewed. The infrared spectra of a number of 2-mono- and 2, 5-di-substituted derivatives of tetrahydrofuran are investigated. Absorption bands at about 900 cm⁻¹ are related to pulsation vibrations, and those at about 1200 cm⁻¹ to antisymmetric skeletal vibrations, of the tetrahydrofuran ring. It is shown that to confirm the presence of a tetrahydrofuran ring in a molecule, it is necessary to take into account not only the band of valence antisymmetric vibrations of the group C-O-C (ν _C-O-C ^as 1075 cm⁻¹), but also bands due to ring pulsation vibrations (ring symmetric valence vibrations ν _sk ^s ∼ 900 cm¹).     

N,N′ di n-hexyladipamide,a model for nylon 6,6

During research on model molecular compounds for synthetic polyamides, the crystal structure of N,N′ di n-hexyladipamide (NNDHA) has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The structure was solved by direct methods and refined to a final R value of 0.054. The molecule has an all-trans planar conformation. The packing consists of layers of molecules linked by hydrogen bonds in c direction. Molecular structure and packing resemble closely those reported for polyhexamethylenadipamide (nylon 6,6).     

Some investigations on the photostabilization of polypropylene

The effect of substituted hydroxybenzophenone, benzotriazole and organic metal complexes on the photooxidation of PP films has been studied. It has been established that NiDBTC added in 1.0 wt. % is the most effective photostabilizer.While in the case of other stabilizers there is a slight increase in the Co content even during the induction period, with the application of NiDBTC practically no oxidation can be observed before the stabilizer completely disappears. This means that NiDBTC inhibits the photooxidation of the polymer even in low concentration.

Study of air pollution particulates by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy

Summary This paper discusses the application of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy to the determination of the chemical composition of sulfur and nitrogen species in air pollution particulates. Core electron chemical shift measurements are augmented by the determination of relative concentrations and volatility of particulate species.

Ab initio scf and CI study of the ground and excited states of the HN2 radical

Non-empirical SCF and CI calculations are reported for the HN₂, free radical in various low-lying electronic states. The nature of the angular and N-N and N-H stretching potential curves of each of these species is investigated, including a study of the dissociative behavior of such states. The ground state is found to be only very slightly bound with respect to NH stretch, in contrast to what is observed for isoelectronic HCO, The vertical electronic spectrum of HN₂, appears to be marked by a single long wavelength transition (1.95 eV) from the bent (124°) ‘A’ ground state to the linear ²Π excited species, but at least four other intra-valence and an additional n → 3s Rydberg species are indicated in the 5.5–8.0 eV absorbing region.
