Reducedab initio theoretical internuclear potentials of diatomic molecules

Ab initio theoretical ground state potentials of diatomic molecules calculated with the use of the variational CI-MO (configuration interaction method based on molecular orbitals) are analyzed with the use of the RPC (reduced potential curve) method. It is shown on a series of examples that the following statement is true even for inaccurateab initio calculations: in reduced form, the theoretical potential coincides to a high degree of accuracy with the reduced RKR (Rydberg-Klein-Rees) potential calculated from the spectroscopic data. Thus, with the use of the RPC method, even inaccurateab initio calculations (in particular for heavier molecules) may be used for the construction of rather accurate internuclear potentials and hence obtain a practical significance. The statement also holds for excited states if strong perturbations are not present.     

Visible Photoluminescence in Polysilanes

 The photoluminescence spectrum of poly-(methyl-(phenyl)-silanediyl) shows a strong narrow peak in the UV region which is of excitonic nature and related to σ^*-σ transitions. The broad emission peak in the visible region is related to polymer branching, charge transfer transitions, and defect electronic states (backbone scission). Chemical substitution of the Si backbone with π-conjugated side groups allows to generate photoluminescence also in the visible region.     

Kinetic study of Pt-cytostatics reactions by HPLC

HPLC with DAD (diode array detector) was applied as rapid method for the analytical control of the purity and stability of carboplatin and oxocarboplatin as effective cytostatics of 2nd generation. The stability of carboplatin has been measured in some infusion media (sodium chloride, glucose, sodium citrate) and compared to the cisplatin (cytostatic of 1st generation) stability. In addition ligand-exchange reactions between cisplatin and carboplatin have been studied together with the influence of temperature, pH and the concentrations of reactants. A method was developed for the analysis of clinical samples using solid-phase extraction as a preseparation and preconcentration step. The detection limits were 5 g/ml serum for cisplatin, 0.16 g/ml for carboplatin and 0.23 g/ml for oxo-carboplatin.Dedicated to Professor J. F. K. Huber on the occasion of his 65th birthday     

Die anwendung der ionexeigenschaften des silikagels zur trennung von metallen

The mechanism of sorption of cationic metal complexes on silica gel and the utilization of this process for separation of trace concentrations of metals are discussed. Some practical examples are given.     

Plane deformation in the non-linear theory of elasticity

A definition and discussion of plane deformation in the non-linear theory of elasticity is presented, with reference to rubber. From the fundamental equations given, a special case is studied for rotational symmetry, and the torsional damper is solved according to the non-linear static theory of elasticity.
