Modulation des flammenspektrometrischen Signals mittels intermittierender Probenzufuhr zur Flamme

Zusammenfassung An Stelle eines Choppers wird zur Modulation des flammenspektrometrischen Signals die Probenflüssigkeit periodisch der Flamme zugeführt (intermittierende Zerstäubung). Es wird zunächst über die beobachtete Eigenmodulation der Zerstäubung berichtet und danach über die intermittierende Zerstäubung mit Frequenzen bis zu 50 Hz. Anschließend wird an Hand von Beispielen gezeigt, daß sich die intermittierende Zerstäubung als besonders vorteilhaft in der Absorptions-Flammenspektrometrie erweist. Wird das Gleichlicht des Hintergrundstrahlers mittels der intermittierenden Zerstäubung in der Flamme moduliert und ein Wechselstromverstärker verwendet, so fallen der 0- und 100%-Durchlässigkeitspunkt zusammen. Bei der Registrierung über die Wellenlänge werden dann nur solche Linien angezeigt, welche in der Flamme das eingestrahlte Licht absorbieren.

Summary For modulating the flame spectrometric signal without using a chopper the sample is introduced into the flame periodically (intermittent atomisation). First, the observed self-modulation of the atomisation is described and subsequently the intermittent atomisation with frequencies up to 50 cps. Some examples demonstrate that intermittent atomisation proves to be especially advantageous in absorption flame spectrometry. When modulating the light of the dc-operated line source by means of intermittent atomisation and using ac-amplification of the modulated signal the 0- and 100%-transmittance points of the transmittance scale are the same. When scanning over the wave length only such lines are detected which absorb the light of the background source.

Fluorine-Containing Organozinc Reagents Part 1 A Simple Synthesis of 2,2-Dichloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropanol

The title compound 1 , which can be regarded as a synthetic equivalent of substituted 1,1,1-trifluoroacetone 2 , is prepared by Zn-induced reductive addition of 1,1,1-trichloro-2,2,2-trifluoroethane ( 3 ) to formaldehyde ( 4 ). A brief survey of the scope of this C? C-bond formation leading to a variety of new CF₃-containing synthetic building blocks is also given.     

Cation electrochemical stability in chloroaluminate ionic liquids

The electrochemical stability of 10 organic cations, which can be used in ionic liquids (IL), was investigated as solutes in acetonitrile (ACN). The stability of three of the salts, BenMe2EtNCl (salt III), 1-butyl-2-methyl pyrrolidium chloride (salt VI), and its structural isomer, BuMe2ProNCl (salt VII), were also compared in chloroaluminate ILs. The chloroaluminate ILs of salts VI and VII are investigated for the first time. The NaCl-neutralized ILs of salts VI and VII have melting points of 43.2 and 3.7 degrees C, respectively. The benzyl-substituted cation, salt III, was more easily reduced in ACN or as the neutral chloroaluminate IL than the alkyl-substituted cation, salt VII, due to the better leaving ability of the benzyl group. Mass spectroscopy measurements before and after electrolysis on the benzyl-substituted solutions confirmed that reduction involves the loss of an alkyl group. In ACN, salt VI was found to be the most difficult to reduce (1 mA/cm2 at -2.09 V) due to its cyclic structure. However, in the chloroaluminate IL, the pyrrolidinium cation was more easily reduced than salt III or its isomer, salt VII, resulting in an insoluble black deposit. This is consistent with the mass spectrometry data, which do not show formation of low-molecular-weight products, as in the reduction of salts III and VII. The IL of salt VII was the most stable in the presence of sodium. Sodium ions could be reduced and reoxidized with a maximum Coulombic efficiency of 94.1% versus 87.2% for salt VI. Reduction of the pyrrolidinium cation produces insoluble products, most likely through opening of the cyclic ring, and an inferior medium for sodium ion reduction compared to the benzyl- and butyl-substituted cations, even though reduction of the cation occurs at a more negative potential in acetonitrile.     

Stereospecific cyclopropane ring-opening of petrosterol. A possible biomimetic process.

Acid-catalyzed isomerization of the petrosterol side chain ($\text{1}$) proceeds stereospecifically to yield the naturally occurring 26-dehydro-25-epiaplysterol side chain ($\text{2}$); in addition, a 1.5-hydride shift leading to 22-dehydro-25-epiaplysteryl acetate ($\text{3}$) has also been observed.     

Construction of polymeric and oligomeric lanthanide(III) thiolates from preformed complexes [(TMS)2N]3Ln(mu-Cl)Li(THF)3 (Ln = Pr, Nd, Sm; (TMS)2N = Bis(trimethylsilyl)amide)

The complex [{(TMS)2N}4(mu4-Cl)Sm4(mu-SPh)4(mu3-Cl)Li(THF)] has been formed by protonolysis of [(Me3Si)2N]3Sm(mu-Cl)Li(THF)3 with 1 equiv of HSPh, which contains a square array of Sm(III) ions connected by a central mu4-Cl ligand. The edges of the square Sm4 array are bridged by four mu3-Cl and four mu-SPh ligands. The four Sm atoms and Li atom are connected by four mu3-Cl ligands.     

Synthesis and reaction of the novel complex [AsPh4][OsCl5(H2O). X-ray structure analysis of [AsPh4][OsCl5(H2O)].2EtOH and [AsPh4][OsCl5(EtOH)].EtOH

The synthesis and characterization of the anionic mononuclear and homobinuclear osmium complexes [AsPh4][OsCl5L].xEtOH [L = H2O, x = 2 (9); L = EtOH, x = 1 (10a); L = py, x = 0 (10b)] and [AsPh4]2[Cl5Os(pyz)OsCl5] (12) (pyz = pyrazine) are described. Upon reduction in a chloride-containing medium, OsO4 (1) affords the osmium(IV) species [OsCl5(H2O)]- (2), which could be isolated by extraction with n-tributyl phosphate (TBP). Complex 9 is the first fully characterized chloroaquo complex of Os(IV). This complex is an effective starting material for the preparation of novel species, such as 10a, 10b, and 12. The X-ray structures of 9 and 10a were determined. Both compounds crystallize in the monoclinic space group P2(1)/n. 9: C28H34AsCl5O3Os, a = 10.910(4) A, b = 17.127(5) A, c = 17.555(7) A, beta = 103.77(2) degrees, V = 3186(2) A3, and Z = 4. 10a: C28H32AsCl5O2Os, a = 10.7762(2) A, b = 17.3939(1) A, c = 17.1477(3) A, beta = 103.645(1) degrees, V = 3123.45(8) A, and Z = 4. Complexes 9 and 10a crystallize with two and one molecule of EtOH and are bonded via hydrogen bridges to the H2O and EtOH ligand in 9 and 10a, respectively.     

Separation of purine bases, nucleosides and nucleotides by a column-switching technique combining reversed-phase and anion-exchange high-performance liquid chromatography

An on-line two-stage column chromatographic technique is described which combines reversed-phase and anion-exchange chromatography for the separation of purine nucleic acid components. The elution program applied, consisting of two gradient programmes, provides a separation of bases and nucleosides on the octadecyl silica column and a separation of the nucleotides on the anion-exchange column to which they have been switched at the beginning of the elution. This method is easy to modify for special problems and can be used when establishing a complete profile of purines.     

Complex Tellurium Salts with Supramolecular Bidimensional Lattices: Synthesis and X‐ray Characterization of (2‐Br‐C5NH5)2[TeX6] (X = Cl,Br)

The reaction of tellurium(IV) tetrahalides with hydrochloric and hydrobromic acid leads to the formation of (H₃O)₂[TeX₆], which reacts subsequently with (2‐Br‐C₅NH₅)⁺X^‐ to afford (2‐Br‐C₅NH₅)₂[TeCl₆] ( 1 ) and (2‐Br‐C₅NH₅)₂[TeBr₆] ( 2 ). The structure of the complex salts were analysed by X‐ray diffractometry affording the centrosymmetric space groups P2₁/n (monoclinic, 1 ) and P1¯ (triclinic, 2 ). Interionic hydrogen bondings hold their lattices in bidimensional supramolecular arrays not yet described in the literature. The lone electron pair of the AX₆E‐system of the hexahalotellurates [TeX₆]^2‐ (X = Cl, Br) seems to be fully delocalized since only small octahedral deviations were observed for the anionic species. The structures of the title compounds were refined with the Te atoms occupying sites with full point symmetry, approximately m3¯m. In both cases the Te atoms enclose centers of inversion and the octahedrally dynamic structures are enforced and stabilized along the supramolecular lattices by the crystal field of the 2‐Br‐pyridinium cations.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of Two One—dimensional Chain Copper Complexes [Cu（TTA）2（4,4‘’—azpy）] and [Cu（TTA）2（3,3‘’—azpy）

Two copper complexes [Cu(TTA)₂(4,4′‐azpy)] (1) and [Cu‐(TTA)₂(3,3′‐azpy)] (2) (HTTA = 1,1,1‐trifluoro‐3‐(2‐thenoyl)‐acetone, 4,4′‐azpy = 4,4′‐azobispyridine, 3,3′‐azpy = 3,3′‐azobispyridine) were synthesized and characterized. The crystal structures were determined by X‐ray diffraction analysis. The crystal 1 belongs to triclinic with space group P1 , a = 0.8515(2) nm, b = 0.9259(2) nm, c = 0.9468(2) nm, a = 66.126(9)°, β = 79.667(9)°, γ = 90.13(1)°, Z = 1, V = 0.6692(2) nm³, D_c = 3.425 g/cm³, γ = 2.113 mm^?1, F(000) = 694, R₁ = 0.0594, wR₂ = 0.1499. The crystal 2 belongs to monoclinic with space group P2₁/c, a = 1.0661(2) nm, b = 1.4296(3) ran, c = 1.0041(3) nm, β = 114.50(3)°, V = 1.3926(5) nm³, Z = 2, D_c = 1.646 g/ cm³, μ = 1.015 mm^?1, F(000) = 694, R₁, = 0.0535, wR₂ = 0.1113. In the crystals of complexes 1 and 2, the copper atoms have distorted octahedral symmetry. The two compounds possess very similar one‐dimensional linear chains linked through the rodlike 4,4′‐azpy ligands or 3,3′‐azpy ligands.     

UV/Vis Spectroscopic Properties of N -(2′-Hydroxy-4′- N , N -dimethyl-aminobenzylidene)-4-nitroaniline in Various Solvents and Solid Environments

 N-(2′-Hydroxy-4′-N,N-dimethylaminobenzylidene)-4-nitroaniline [HDBN] has been used as a model for investigating intra- and intermolecular D–A (donor–acceptor) interactions in various environments by means of UV/Vis spectroscopy. UV/Vis spectra of HDBN have been measured in various solvents, ethanolic solutions of different pH, adsorbed on silica, and in the solid state. A bathochromic shift of ν_max is observed with increasing the dipolarity/polarizability and HBD (hydrogen bond donor) capacity of the solvent, which is described by means of a multiple LSE (linear solvation energy) relationship in terms of the empirical Kamlet-Taft solvent polarity parameters. The adsorption of HDBN on Aerosil^? 300-silica particles in non-HBA (hydrogen bond acceptor) solvents is explained in the same sense. Mobile protons and sol–gel entrapping cause a hypsochromic shift due to protonation of the lone electron pair of the 4′-N,N-dimethylamino group. Hydroxide ions attack the 2′-hydroxy group which causes a bathochromic shift. A strong intramolecular hydrogen bond between the 2′-hydroxyl hydrogen and the imine nitrogen atom is present in the solid-state structure causing an unprecedented bathochromic shift.
