A spectroscopic study of cobalt(III) furyldioximates

Summary The electronic properties of a series of cobalt(III)trans-furyldioximato-complexes of the type [CoB(FH)₂X] (B=NH₃, X=Cl, Br, I or NO₂; B=pyridine (py) or thiocarbamide (thio), X=Cl or Br; B=imidazole (imid), X=Br), [Co(FH₂)(FH)Cl₂] and [Co(thio)₂(FH)₂]NO₃ were studied by i.r., u.v. and¹H and¹³C n.m.r. spectra The results were compared with those from the corresponding dimethylglyoximato-complexes. It was concluded that -conjugation over the equatorial plane in the furyldioximates is greater than in the dimethylglyoximates. There is some evidence of thetrans-influence of the anionic ligands in the ammines which are in the order NO ₂ ^– >Br^–>Cl^–.     

Membrane extraction of pertechnetate with quaternary ammonium salts comparison with solvent extraction

The liquid membrane extraction (MX) and the solvent extraction (SX) of pertechnetate with Aliquat 336 as a carrier has been studied. From the results of SX the percentage of pertechnetate in the inner solution in experiment with LM was proposed. It has been found that the pertraction of pertechnetate depends on the inner solution used and the most effective solutions were those with ClO ₄ ^– and SCN^–. Effects of the carrier concentration in membranes and outer phase composition have been studied too. The results of these experiments were kinetic curves with a minimum, which may be interpreted as a result of competing processes in the systems.     

Synthetische Versuche in der Gruppe hypotensiv wirksamer Alkaloide, 13. Mitt.: Synthese vondl-10-Methyldeserpidin,dl-10-Äthoxydeserpidin unddl-10-Methylmercapto-deserpidin

Zusammenfassung Die durch Umsetzung von 5-Methyltryptamin, 5-Äthoxytryptamin und 5-Methylmercapto-tryptamin (I, R=CH₃, OC₂H₅ bzw. SCH₃) mit dem racemischen Aldehyd-Ester II entstandenenSchiffschen Basen wurden durch Natriumborhydrid-Reduktion in Methanol unter gleichzeitiger Cyclisierung und Desacetylierung in die entsprechenden 10-substituiertendl-Methyl-2,3-seco-3-oxodeserpidate (IV) übergeführt. Die bei der Einwirkung von 3,4,5-Trimethoxybenzoylchlorid in Pyridin erhaltenen Ester V wurden weiter mit Phosphoroxychlorid cyclisiert und die Produkte als Perchlorate (VI) mit Zink in sauerer Lösung zu den entsprechenden 10-substituiertendl-Deserpidinen (VII, R=CH₃, OC₂H₅ bzw. SCH₃) reduziert. Mit Hilfe der Chromatographie gelang es in zwei Fällen, aus den Rohprodukten auch die entsprechendendl-3-Isodeserpidine (VIII, R=CH₃ bzw. OC₂H₅) zu isolieren. Zum Unterscheiden der Produkte der normalen Reihe (VII) und der 3-Iso-Reihe (VIII) wurden IR-Spektren und die Papierchromatographie angewendet.Mit 2 Abbildungen     

Metallophthalocyanines with rod-shaped substituents

4-(4′-Dioctylaminocarbonylbiphenyloxy) phthalonitrile was synthesized from 4-(4′-carboxybiphenyloxy)phthalonitrile and dioctylamine in the presence of Et₃N. Metallophthalocyanines (Zn, Co and Cu) substituted with four dioctylaminocarbonyl biphenyloxy groups on the peripheral positions were prepared from 4-(4′-dioctylaminocarbonylbiphenyloxy)phthalonitrile and the corresponding divalent metal salts (Zn(CH₃COO)₂, CoCl₂ and CuCl₂). The new phthalocyanines are soluble in common organic solvents. These compounds were characterised by ¹H-NMR, ¹³C-NMR, FT-IR, UV-Vis and mass spectroscopies.     

A simple laboratory generator for low concentrations of sulphur dioxide

The generator is based on permeation of sulphur dioxide through silicone rubber tubes immersed in a buffered, thermostated solution of sodium hydrogensulphite. The generator contains three (or more) permeation tubes of different lengths immersed simultaneously in the generation solution. The tubes can be connected stepwise to the carrier gas source, so that three (or more) different concentrations of SO₂ in the carrier gas can be obtained from a single solution. The tested generator produced 1.25–25.4 ng s^?1 SO₂, depending on the hydrogensulphite concentration in the solution. Long-term stability was tested for the production of 10.49 ng s^?1 over 50 h; the relative standard deviation was 1.57%. The experimental conditions affecting the production of SO₂ are discussed. An equation is derived for estimating the SO₂ production for various solution compositions and surface areas of the permeation tubes.     

Effects of genesis and ionizing radiation on the kinetics of reduction of NiO-CeO2 mixed oxides with hydrogen

The reduction of mixed oxides NiO-CeO₂ of various composition with hydrogen was studied at 290–470° by means of thermogravimetry. Some physicochemical properties of the system were also investigated and compared with earlier studied analogous samples of different “origin”. The degree of mutual interaction of the two components, the reduction kinetics and the sensitivity to the different sorts of radiation (gamma-rays, fast neutrons and electrons), applied in different doses, are strongly affected by the “pre-history” and by the composition in both compared series of mixed oxides.     

Beitrag zur mikroskopischen Identifizierung organischer Stoffe nach L. Kofler. V

Zusammenfassung In Fortsetzung früherer Untersuchungen zum Zweck der Ergänzung und Erweiterung der Identifizierungs-Tabelle nachKofler werden für 62 Substanzen die thermomikroskopischen Konstanten mitgeteilt und die gegebenenfalls notwendigen Zusatzreaktionen beschrieben. Bei Nicotinamid, das auf Grund seiner Fähigkeit, mit vielen Stoffen wie organischen Säuren, Säureestern, Phenolen u. a. Komplexverbindungen zu bilden, häufig als Reagens in Betracht kommt, wird das polymorphe Verhalten erläutert und das Auftreten von sieben Modifikationen beschrieben.

Contribution to the microscopic identification of organic materials after L. Kofler. V

Summary In continuation of earlier investigations for the purpose of supplementing and extending the identification tables ofKofler, the thermomicroscopic constants are given for 62 substances and when necessary the supplementary reactions are described. In the case of nicotinamide, which because of its ability to yield among other things complex compounds with organic acids, acid esters, phenols, is frequently considered as reagent, the complex behavior is illustrated and the occurrence of 7 modifications is described.

Ein weiterer Beitrag zum Scandiumdicarbidproblem

Zusammenfassung Die bei 1850, 2000 bzw. 2300°C durch die Reduktion von Scandiumoxid mittels Kohlenstoff in dem der Scandiumdicarbidbildung entsprechenden Molverhältnis hergestellten Produkte wurden mit Wasser zersetzt und mit Hilfe der gleichzeitigen gaschromatographischen und massenspektrometrischen Analyse untersucht. Aus den Ergebnissen geht hervor, daß bei der Scandiumdicarbidbildung gleichzeitig ein weiteres Scandiumcarbid, höchstwahrscheinlich ein Sesquicarbid, entsteht.

Scandium(III) dicarbide problem. Further experimental results

Products obtained by the reduction of Sc₂O₃ with carbon at 1850, 2000 and 2300°C, resp., in the molar ratio corresponding to the scandium dicarbide were hydrolysed with water. Gaseous reaction products were analysed using gas chromatography combined with mass spectrometry. Results show, that during dicarbide formation another scandium carbide, probably sesquicarbide, is also formed.

Relationships for determining the rate constant of the polymerization growth reaction by means of the emulsion polymerization method

Some simple equations for the emulsion polymerization system were derived on the basis of the Smith-Ewart theory. These are used in calculating the molar monomer concentration and rate of polymerization in units of moles per liter per second for the zero-order region with respect to the monomer as well as in calculating the rate constant of the growth reaction.
