Tracing of peroxy radicals in hexane cool flames

Stabilized hexane-air cool flames in a separately heated two-section reactor have been studied at T=480–770 K and P=30–63 kPa. ESR spectra of peroxy radicals were analyzed by the radical freezing technique and sonde sampling. Under these conditions high radical concentrations (>10¹⁴ cm^–3) are observed. With increasing pressure and temperature, the fraction of HO₂ radicals in the overall amount of radicals grows.

Iso-N-formyl-5-en-chonemorphine, a steroidal alkaloid from Sarcococca zeylanica

Chemical investigation of the non-quaternary alkaloidal fraction of the aerial parts of Sarcococca zeylanica of the family Buxaceae furnished a steroidal alkaloid iso-N-formyl-5-en-chonemorphine, which has not been previously reported as a natural product. The structure of this alkaloid was established on the basis of spectroscopic evidence.     

Stability studies and purification procedure for nitrite solutions in view of the preparation of isotopic reference materials

The lack of reference materials, accurately certified for nitrite, is a problem in view of the importance of this species for environmental and medical reasons. This work outlines a plan for the preparation of nitrite isotopic reference materials (IRMs) in the form of high purity solutions, certified for their nitrite-nitrogen isotopic composition and nitrite concentration. To achieve the desired accuracy (expanded uncertainty U with a coverage factor k=2 of 相似文献   

A comparative investigation of the fatty acid compositions of the seeds of a number of lines of a genetic collection of Gossypium hirsutum

A comparative analysis has been made of the amounts of lipids and their fatty-acid compositions in the seeds of the lines of agenetic collection of cotton plants of the speciesGossypium hirsutum and their hybrids and the variety Tashkent-1. The results obtained on the fatty-acid compositions of some hybrids make it possible to recommend the use of individual lines of cotton plants as donors for improving the food-value indices of cottonseed oil.Institute of Chemsitry of Plant Substances, Academy of Sciences of the Uzbek SSR, Tashkent.

Low-temperature specific heat of the cluster compound Au55 (P(C6H5)3)12Cl6

Specific-heat measurements on the cluster compound Au₅₅(P(C₆H₅)₃)₁₂Cl₆ at temperatures 0.06 K ≤T≤3 K and in magnetic fields 0≤B≤6 T are reported. While above 0.6 K the specific heatC is dominated by the inter-cluster vibrational contribution observed previously, an anomalous increase ofC towards lowT is observed below 0.3 K, withC ～T ^?2. This contribution develops into a Schottky-like anomaly forB≥0.4 T, indicating that it might be attributed to local moments which are also observed in ESR measurements. From the height of the anomaly one can infer that approximately one tenth of the Au₅₅ clusters carry a magnetic moment. For 0.6 K≤T≤1 K andB=0 our data indicate the absence of a linear electronic specific-heat contribution expected for bulk Au. This possibly constitutes the first direct observation of the quantum-size effect on electronic energy levels in the specific heat.     

Colorimetric determination of dimethoate or omethoate

A simple, sensitive and rapid colorimetric method is described for determining dimethoate [O,O-dimethyl-S-(N-methylcarbanoylmethyl)phosphorodithioate] and omethoate by an enzymatic method using pig liver acetone powder as enzyme source and p-nitrobenzenediazonium fluoroborate as the chromogenic reagent. This colorimetric method is more sensitive than non-enzymatic methods. Inhibition can be detected at ng levels and amounts ranging from 50 to 1000 ng of omethoate and from 1 to 10 mug of dimethoate can be estimated.     

Synthesis and x-ray crystal structure of the TiMgCl5(OOCCH2Cl) · (ClCH2COOC2H5)3 Adduct

The synthesis of the TiMgCl₅(OOCCH₂Cl) · (ClCH₂COOC₂H₅)₃ adduct, obtained by reacting TiCl₄ with a solution of MgCl₂ in dry ClCH₂COOC₂H₅, is reported together with its molecular and crystal structure as determined by x-ray diffraction. The structure was solved by direct and Fourier methods and refined by least-squares techniques to R = 0.057 for 1318 independent observed reflections. Crystals are monoclinic, space-group P2₁/c, with 4 formula units in a unit-cell of dimensions a = 10.480(4), b = 19.641(9), c = 16.597(6) Å, β = 120.21(5)°. The titanium(IV) atom is octahedrally coordinated by five chlorine atoms and an oxygen atom of a OOCCH₂Cl residue. The magnesium atom is similarly coordinated by two chlorine atoms, the carbonyl oxygen atoms of three ClCH₂COOC₂H₅ molecules and an oxygen atom of the OOCCH₂Cl residue. The two octahedra share an edge by a double chlorine bridge between the magnesium and the titanium atoms and are also connected by the COO group of the OOCCH₂Cl residue. Changes in the configurations and dimensions with respect to the free acceptor and donor molecules are discussed.     

Binuclear and mononuclear cobalt(II), nickel(II) and copper(II) complexes of 4,4′-bis(alkylaminoisonitrosoacetyl)diphenyl-methane derivatives

4,4-Bis(chloroacetyl)diphenylmethane has been prepared from ClCH₂COCl and Ph₂CH₂. 4,4-Methylenebis(phenylglyoxylohydroximoyl chloride has also been obtained. Four new substituted 4,4-bis(alkylaminoisonitrosoacetyl)diphenylmethanes (ligands) have been prepared from 4,4-methylenebis(phenylglyoxylohydroximoyl chloride) and the corresponding amines. The Ni^II, Cu^II and Co^II complexes of these ligands were prepared and their structures were identified using AAS, i.r., ¹H-n.m.r. spectral data, elemental analyses and magnetic susceptibility measurements.     

Reversible size of shear-induced multi-lamellar vesicles

We have investigated the reversibility in the shear-induced multi-lamellar vesicle (MLV) size during stepwise cycling of the shear rate by employing common rheometry, polarized light microscopy and rheo-optic techniques. We thus address the question whether there is a true MLV steady state, irrespective of history. The system studied, was the nonionic surfactant triethylene glycol decyl ether (C₁₀E₃) with a concentration of 40 wt.% in D₂O and a constant temperature of 25°C. It was found that the MLV size varies reversibly with varying shear rate, and hence there exists a true steady state in the presence of shear flow. The experimental observations of reversibility are however restricted to higher shear rates. Because the transformation of the size results from the shear strain, the process is very slow at lower shear rates, where the steady state cannot be reached within a reasonable experimental time.     

Absolute Rate Constants for the Reactions of Primary Alkyl Radicals with Aromatic Amines(1)

Hydrogen abstraction from diarylamines (4-X-C(6)H(4))(2)NH [X = H, CH(3), C(8)H(17), CH(3)O, and Br] by the 2-methyl-2-phenylpropyl radical in n-dodecane solution was investigated by thermolysis of 3-methyl-3-phenylbutanoyl peroxide in the presence of various concentrations of the amines. The reaction is a non-chain process in which the 2-methyl-2-phenylpropyl radical and its rearrangement product, the 2-benzylpropan-2-yl radical, abstract hydrogen from both the solvent and the amine. Cross-disproportionation reactions of the rearranged radical led to the formation of significant amounts of beta,beta-dimethylstyrene. Rate constants for hydrogen abstraction by the unrearranged, primary alkyl radical from n-dodecane (k(373K) = 3.5 x 10(3) M(-)(1) s(-)(1)), diphenylamine (k(373K) = 1.3 x 10(6) M(-)(1) s(-)(1)), and the substituted diarylamines were determined from the product yields and the known rate constant for the radical rearrangement. From kinetic experiments with N-deuteriodiphenylamine the deuterium kinetic isotope effect,k(NH)/k(ND), was found to be 2.3 at 373 K.
