Mechanism of gold adsorption by persimmon tannin gel.

Gold adsorption by persimmon tannin (PT) gel from a solution containing hydrogen tetrachloroaurate(III) was examined. A flow-rate examination in a column system indicated the reduction of Au(III) ion to Au(0). XRD patterns clarified the existence of Au(0) on the gel which adsorbed gold. The gel could also adsorb colloidal Au(0) prepared independently. A model consisting of ligand exchange, Au(III) reduction to Au(0), and resulting Au(0) adsorption by PT gel was presented for the gold adsorption mechanism.     

K-Mo基催化剂的表面酸性与其合成醇选择性

对500℃和800℃焙烧制得的氧化态K－MoO3／γ－AlO3，K－MoO3／SiO2及非负载K－Mo催化剂进行硫化后，测试其合成醇活性．结果表明500℃焙烧制得的负载型催化剂显示较高的合成低碳烃活性和较低的合成低磷醇选择性，经800℃焙烧后，合成低磷醇的选择性大幅度提高．500℃焙烧的非负载K－Mo催化剂显示较高的合成醇选择性，经800℃焙烧后，促碳醇的选择性保持不变．用氨的吸附及TPD方法测定了各样品的酸性，并与催化剂活性对照，发现催化剂酸性越强，酸量越大，则其合成醇选择性越低．催化剂上的乙醇分解实验证实，催化剂的酸量大小与它的醇分解活性成正变关系，这些结果说明催化剂酸性对其合成醇性能有直接的影响．     

Synthesis and spectral behavior of 5-methyl-3-phenyl-1,3-oxazolidin-2-ones using NMR

Heterocyclic compounds of four 5-methyl-3-phenyl-1,3-oxazolidin-2-ones have been synthesized by the reaction of N-2-hydroxyethyl- or N-2-hydroxypropylanilines with phosgene in the presence of pyridine. From the spectral behavior, the title compounds are found to exist in the trans and cis forms.     

Suppressive effect of the SOS-inducing activity of chemical mutagen by citric acid esters from Prunus mume Sieb. Et Zucc. using the Salmonella typhimurium TA1535/pSK1002 umu test

A methanol extract from Prunus mume Sieb. Et Zucc. showed a suppressive effect of the SOS-inducing activity on the mutagen 3-amino-1,4-dimethyl-SH-pyrido[4,3-b]indole(Trp-P-1) in the Salmonella typhimurium TA1535/pSK1002 umu test. The methanol extract was re-extracted with hexane, dichloromethane, ethyl acetate, butanol and water. The dichloromethane and ethyl acetate fractions showed suppressive effect. Suppressive compounds were isolated by silica gel column chromatography and identified as trimethyl citrate (1) and dimethyl citrate (2) by GC-MS, IR and 1H and 13C-NMR spectroscopy. Compounds 1 and 2 suppressed 51 and 39% of the SOS-inducing activity at a concentration of 2.0 micromol/mL.     

Ca0.8Y2.4Sn0.8O6, a quaternary oxide with mixed occupations of Ca/Y and Y/Sn

A new quaternary oxide, calcium yttrium stannate, Ca_0.8Y_2.4Sn_0.8O₆, is isostructural with Mg₃TeO₆ (trigonal, R). The empirical formula can be expressed as (Ca_0.2667Y_0.7333)₆(Y_0.4Sn_0.6)SnO₁₂. The Ca/Y site has a distorted coordination octa­hedron of O atoms, with Ca/Y—O distances ranging from 2.227 (3) to 2.350 (3) Å, while the octa­hedra of O atoms that coordinate to the Sn and Y/Sn sites are nearly regular, with an Sn—O distance of 2.066 (2) Å and a Y/Sn—O distance of 2.147 (3) Å.     

A stereochemical investigation of 2-methyl- and 2,5-dimethyl-3-phenyl-1,3-oxazolidines using NMR

The stereochemical properties of two 2-methyl-3-phenyl-1,3-oxazolidines and two of its 5-methyl substituted and four of its 2,5-dimethyl substituted derivatives have been investigated by pmr and cmr methods. The compounds of 2,5-dimethyl-3-phenyl-1,3-oxazolidines exist in isomeric cis and trans forms at the two methyl groups on the heterocyclic ring.     

Identification of beta-decay of150La

The -decay of¹⁵⁰La, the heaviest isotope of lanthanum, has been identified by observing -rays from mass separated activities obtained at KUR-ISOL. From the decay curves of 97.0 and 208.7 keV -rays in¹⁵⁰Ce and of Ce-K X-ray, the half-life of¹⁵⁰La has been determined as 0.51(3) s. This value is in agreement with theoretical predictions from microscopic theory.
