A generalized mean-value theorem

We give another proof of Seymour and Zaslavsky's theorem: For every familyf ₁,f ₂,...,f _n of continous functions defined on [0, 1], there exists a finite setF[0, 1] such that the average sum off _k overF coincides with the integral off _k for everyk=1, 2,...,n.     

Preparation and electrochemical behavior of ordered rh adlayers on Pt(100) electrodes

Rhodium adlayers on Pt(100) substrates have been prepared by electrodeposition from dilute Rh(III) acidic solutions. The initially disordered layer is electrochemically annealed by applying a polarization program consisting of high-sweep-rate multicycle sequences between 0.05 and 0.78 V(RHE) in 0.1 M H(2)SO(4). In this way, a pseudomorphic Rh monolayer can be prepared on Pt(100) substrates. The degree of order of the electrochemically annealed layer has been evidenced not only through voltammetric experiments but also by means of scanning tunneling microscopy with atomic resolution for iodine-protected adlayers, which show a c(2 x 2) structure. The electrochemically induced ordering of the Rh adlayer appears to be a consequence of the repeated cycles of adsorption/desorption of H and, especially, oxygenated species. Voltammetry in sulfuric acid solutions permits examination of the energetics of H/anions and OH/O adsorption as a function of the Rh coverage. The first monolayer adsorbs both hydrogen and oxygenated species more strongly than the second one. This can be explained through an electronic effect caused by the underlying Pt(100) substrate.

Synthesis,crystal structures and electrochemical properties of group 6 metal carbonyl anion complexes

A series of [M(CO)₅I]⁻ and [M₂(CO)₁₀I]⁻ anion complexes have been synthesized by the photochemical reaction of PhCH₂N(CH₃)₃I or FcCH₂N(CH₃)₃I (Fc=ferrocenyl) with M(CO)₆ (M = Cr, Mo or W), and characterized by elemental analyses, i.r., ¹H-n.m.r. and ¹³C-n.m.r. spectra in the case of the molybdenum and tungsten complexes. These complexes exhibit considerably different electrochemical behavior, when investigated by cyclic voltammetry. The crystal structures of [PhCH₂N(CH₃)₃][Cr(CO)₅I] and [FcCH₂N(CH₃)₃][W₂(CO)₁₀I] have been determined by X-ray diffraction, indicating that only weak contacts maybe exist between anions and cations by the I...H bond in the former, and there are no direct interactions between anions and cations in the latter.     

Spectroscopic evidence for triplet excitation energy transfer among carotenoids in the LH2 complex from photosynthetic bacterium <Emphasis Type="Italic">Rhodopseudomonas palustris</Emphasis>

The LH2 complex from Rhodopsudomonas (Rps.) palustris is unique in the heterogeneous carotenoid compositions. The dynamics of triplet excited state Carotenoids (³Car* has been investigated by means of sub-microsecond time-resolved absorption spectroscopy both at physiological temperature (295 K) and at cryogenic temperature (77K). Broad and asymmetric T _n ←T ₁ transient absorption was observed at room temperature following the photo-excitation of Car at 532 nm, which suggests the contribution from various carotenoid compositions having different numbers of conjugated C=C double bonds (N_c=c). The triplet absorption bands of different carotenoids, which superimposed at room temperature, could be clearly distinguished upon decreasing the temperature down to 77 K. At room temperature the shorter-wavelength side of the main T_n04T₁ absorption band decayed rapidly to reach a spectral equilibration with a characteristic time constant of ∽1 μs, the same spectral dynamics, however, was not observed at 77 K. The aforementioned spectral dynamics can be explained in terms of the triplet-excitation transfer among heterogeneous carotenoid compositions. Global spectral analysis was applied to the time-resolved spectra at room temperature, which revealed two spectral components peaked at 545 and 565 nm, and assignable to the T_n04 T₁ absorption of Cars with Nc=c=11 and Nc=c=13, respectively. Surprisingly, the decay time constant of a shorter-conjugated Car, i.e. 0.72 ώs (aerobic) and 1.36 ώs (anaerobic), is smaller than that of a longer-conjugated Car, i.e. 2.12 us (aerobic) and 3.75 ώs (anaerobic), which is contradictory to the general rule of carotenoids and relative polyenes. The results are explained in terms of triplet-excitation transfer among different types of Cars. It is postulated that two Cars with different conjugation lengths coexist in an α, β-subunit in the LH2 complex.     

Inductively coupled plasma compared with direct current arc spectrometry for analysis of minor elements in aluminium baths

A validation study was carried out in order to evaluate the efficiency of inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) for the analysis of minor elements (manganese, chromium, copper, iron, and titanium) in aluminium alloys. Aluminium casting samples were obtained by adding compressed powder compacts of each alloying element and aluminium (minitablets) to aluminum baths in a laboratory crucible furnace. Digestion of solid samples was performed using concentrated HCI and H202 35% (v/v) previous to analysis by ICP-OES without any matrix separation. This solution-based method was validated considering direct current arc spectrometry as the reference method based on direct analysis without any pretreatment of the solid samples considered. Univariate statistical procedures were carried out, for which precision <3% and trueness of the analytical results were taken into account.     

DNA intercalating studies of [Ru(bpy)<Subscript>2</Subscript>HPIP]<Superscript>2+</Superscript> with intramolecular hydrogen bond ligand based on introduction of copper ion

The effects of copper ion on the interaction of [Ru(bpy)₂HPIP]²⁺(bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine, HPIP = 2-(2-hydroxyphenyl) imidazo [4,5-f] [1, 10] phenanthroline) with DNA have been investigated by electronic absorption spectroscopy and fluorescence spectroscopy. HPIP ligand of the complex with an intramolecular hydrogen bond can bind Cu²⁺ in the absence of DNA, as revealed by the absorbance and fluorescence decrease for [Ru(bpy)₂HPIP]²⁺. The resultant heterometallic complex binds to DNA via intercalation of HPIP into the DNA base pairs and its DNA-binding ability is stronger than [Ru(bpy)₂HPIP]²⁺ itself. The DNA bound [Ru(bpy)₂HPIP]²⁺ cannot bind Cu²⁺ at low Cu²⁺ concentration and the intramolecular hydrogen bond in HPIP is located inside the DNA helix. While the Cu²⁺ concentration is relative high, Cu²⁺ can quench the fluorescence of DNA bound [Ru(bpy)₂HPIP]²⁺. The quenching reason is proposed.
