A semi-automatic combustion method for the simultaneous determination of3H and35S in doubly labelled organic materials by liquid scintillation counting

A sample preparation method developed for the simultaneous liquid scintillation assay of tritium and³⁵S in doubly labelled organic materials is described. The sample is burnt in a stream of oxygen and the radioactive isotope carriers formed are collected separately for individual counting.³⁵S content of the sample is measured as a dilute sulfuric acid solution, while the tritium is counted as water. The procedure is free of cross-contamination and memory effect, provides quantitative analytical recovery, and the final solutions ready for counting are obtained in twelve minutes.     

Group method approach to the estimation of response factors of unavailable substances in quantitative gas chromatography

The method's accuracy of a compound quantitation by chromatography depends on the calibration procedure with a pure standard of the target analyte, if the latter is unavailable uncertainty is unavoidable. The group method is a different approach in GC quantitative analysis that shows a practicable way for avoiding this uncertainty and accurately quantify a mixture containing one or more unavailable components. This paper is concerned with the definition of the group method quantitative parameters, the application procedures for their calculation, the determination of the quantitative proportion of a group of unavailable components of a mixture and the partial or total quantitation of the latter. The paper also describes the steps for carrying out the so-called group-correlation method in the determination of the response factors of unavailable compounds, which belong to a homologous series. The GC experimental corroboration of the group method approach employing model mixtures of compounds is also presented.     

Über Reaktionen von Nitrosophenolen, 3. Mitt.: Reaktion von 2-Nitroso-1-naphthol mit Resorcin und Orcin

Zusammenfassung Die Reaktion von 2-Nitroso-1-naphthol mit Resorcin bzw. Orcin in Äther bei Anwesenheit von HNO₃ liefert Benzo[c]phenoxazon-(9) (I), Benzo[c]phenoxazon-(9)-12-oxid (II), Methyl-benzo[c]phenoxazon-(9) (III) sowie 11-Methyl-benzo[c]phenoxazon-(9)-12-oxid (IV). Die Struktur der isolierten Substanzen wurde durch Reduktion mittels TiCl₃ sowie durch die UV- und IR-Spektren gestützt.

The reaction of 2-nitroso-1-naphthol with resorcinol and orcinol in ether solution in the presence of nitric acid has been studied. From the reaction mixture the benzophenoxazones I–IV have been isolated. Structures were assigned on the grounds of UV and IR spectra and partly by using TiCl₃ as a reducing agent.

Statistical approach to bistable behaviour of a nonlinear system in a stationary field

Conclusions This discussion concerning the probability density confirms in a new way the results obtained in paper [1] in which a two-peak behaviour of the photocount distribution has been found. This general result depends on the particular nonlinear interaction scheme, and the bistable behaviour is caused by quantum fluctuations produced by the nonlinear interaction.As losses are not taken into account, other kinds of fluctuations that can modify the bistable behaviour are not accounted for in this paper.     

Some diels—alder reactions of η1-bonded cyclopentadienylmetal compounds

Bis(cyclopentadienyl)mercury readily undergoes Diels—Alder reactions with RCCR (R = CO₂Me or CF₃), CF₃CFCFCF₃, CF₃CFCF₂, (CF₃)₂CC(CN)₂, C₂(CN)₄ and Ph$\text{NCONNC}$O to give stable adducts characterised by¹H, ¹⁹F and ¹³C NMR, spectroscopy. Similar reactions of CF₃CCCF₃ and CF₃CFCFCF₃ with the cyclopentadiene derivatives Me₃MC₅H₅ and (Me₃M)₂C₅H₄ (M = Si, Sn) are also described.     

Freie Elektronenpaare in lokalisierten CNDO/2-Wellenfunktionen der Stickstoffverbindungen

The method for constructing hybrid orbitals described earlier is now used for the analysis of CNDO/2 wave functions of molecules containing nitrogen atoms in order to get information on the type of hybridization of nitrogen lone pair orbitals in various compounds.     

Critical behaviour of the compressible magnet with exchange anisotropy

Then-component magnet with exchange anisotropy on a compressible lattice, with isotropic elastic properties, is studied. The renormalization group method is applied ind =4 — dimensions. The fixed points and the stability regions are explored to the order ², and the analysis is concentrated upon the casen<4—2 +O( ²). Investigation of the fixed points reveals various crossover phenomena which are not present in the corresponding rigid model. Renormalization of the anisotropy crossover exponent is demonstrated. It is shown that macroscopic instabilities, leading to the first order phase transition, may appear.     

Structure of the mixed state in type II superconductors and its connection with Josephson effects in long superconducting bridges

The interaction energy between vortices and the structure of the vortex lattice in superconducting layers is calculated. It is shown that the one-dimensional vortex lattice (with vortices in the centre of the layer) is stable in a relatively large interval of magnetic fields above the flux penetration field. This result is true not only for very thin layers (with dimensions smaller than the penetration depth), but also for layers withd>. The results can be helpful at explaining some unusual experimental results on Josephson effects in long superconducting bridges.
