Über die Dispersität von Metallen in Trägerkatalysatoren. II. Röntgenkleinwinkeluntersuchungen an Platin- und Palladium-Tonerde-Katalysatoren

On the Dispersion of Metals in Supported Catalysts. II. Small Angle X-ray Investigation. on Platinum/Alumina and Palladium/Alumina Catalysts The metal dispersion in 0.5% Pd/A1₂O₃. 0.5°% Pt/Al₂O₃ abd 1.5% Pt/Al₂O₃ catalysts was investigated by small angle X-ray scattering, Using a Kratky camera the difference scattering curves catalyst-carrier were evaluated. The assumption was made that the scattering centres are globular and that there is no interparticular scattering. From the Guinier approximation the Guinier radii R_G of the metal particles were determined. With the Pd catalyst always positive difference scattering curves were found, whereas negative values were found with the Pt catalysts at a scattering angle greater than 0.022 rad. Therefore only for the sample with 0.5% Pd the Porod invariant \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ {\rm \tilde Q}$\end{document} and the Porod radius R_P could be determined. From R_G and R_P the parameters of a two- and of a one-parametric distribution were calculated. The results are in good agreement with data from wide angle X-ray diffraction measurements.     

Optical and photochemical properties of N-benzalaminophenylpyridinium perchlorates

The electronic spectra of a number of benzylidene derivatives of N-aminoarylpyridinium perchlorates are associated with absorption localized on the individual pyridinium and azomethine fragments and with intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) from the azomethine fragment to the pyridinium ring. The luminescence is associated with the latter process. The photochromism is due to proton transfer in the excited state of the azomethine fragment, which competes with ICT, and is also due to structural factors.     

Parakristalline Gitterstörungen in Kettenrichtung von Cellulose I und II

Zusammenfassung Röntgenweitwinkelmessungen an Ramie sowie an einer Viskosefaser zeigen, daß in Kettenrichtung parakristalline Störungen vong=1,1% bzw.g=1,5% vorliegen. Die mittleren Kristallitgrößen in Kettenrichtung betragen¯D ₀₁₀=485 Å bzw.¯D ₀₁₀=112 Å, senkrecht dazu etwa¯D=52 Å bzw.¯D=41 Å. Aus Röntgenkleinwinkelmessungen ergeben sich kleinste Fibrillendurchmesser von 2R=52 Å bzw. 2R=45 Å. Die gefundenen Fibrillendurchmesser verhalten sich wie 1248.Für die Viskosefaser wird eine Langperiode vonP=168 Å gemessen, woraus mit¯D ₀₁₀=112 Å folgt, daß die ungeordneten Bereiche in Kettenrichtung eine Länge von etwa 56 Å haben.

Summary Wide angle X-ray diffraction studies on ramie and on a viscose fibre show that paracrystalline distortions exist in chain direction havingg-values ofg=1.1% andg=1.5%, respectively. The mean crystallite sizes in chain direction are¯D ₀₁₀=485 Å and¯D ₀₁₀=112 Å, respectively. Perpendicular to the chain direction mean crystallite sizes of approximately¯D=52 Å and¯D=41 Å, respectively, are measured.Small angle X-ray diffraction studies give the diameters of the cellulose fibrils, the smallest of which are 2R=52 Å and 2R=45 Å, respectively. The diameters of the fibrils are in the ratio of 1248.A long period ofP=168 Å is measured for the viscose fibre implying a length of 56 Å for the disordered domains in chain direction.
