Fluordiazadiphosphetidine, 3. Mitt.: Die thermische Behandlung von 2,2,2,4,4,4-Hexafluoro-1,3-dimethyl-1,3,2,4-diazadiphosphetidin unter Druck in Gegenwart von Phosphor(V)fluorid und Alkalimetallfluoriden

Prolonged heating of (CH₃NPF₃)₂ in a sealed tube at 120°C yields (CH₃N)₄P₃F₇ and PF₅. Under the experimental conditions these compounds react to (CH₃N)₄P₃F₆ ⁺PF₆ ^–. Reaction of (CH₃NPF₃)₂ in the presence of PF₅ leads to a marked decrease in the formation of the ionic compound. The influence of the fluoride donating saltsMF (M=Li, Na, K, Cs) is investigated.

Metallierungsreaktionen an cyclometallierten komplexen des typs Mo-C6H4CH2PR2)2(M = Pd,Pt)

The complexes of type $\text{M}\text{o}\text{-C}{}_6\text{H}{}_4\text{CH}{}_2\text{P}$R₂)₂ (M = Pd, Pt) are readily deprotonated by n-Buli under various conditions yielding μ-C-bis-dilithiated species. The resulting carbanions are attacked by the electrophiles Mel, Me₃SiCl and Ph₂PCl to form the corresponding disubstituted derivatives. The reaction with AuCl . PPh₃ yields heterobimetallic complexes with two different MC σ-bonds. The compounds obtained are analytically and spectroscopically characterized.     

Studies of protein hydration in aqueous solution by high-resolution nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy

Individual hydration water molecules in aqueous protein solutions have been observed using experimental schemes for homonuclear two-dimensional and heteronuclear three-dimensional NMR experiments in H₂O solution, which do not require suppression of the solvent line by presaturation. In these experiments, the location of the hydration waters is determined from their nuclear Overhauser effects (NOE s) with individual hydrogen atoms of distinct amino acid residues. In the basic pancreatic trypsin inhibitor (BPTI ), four internal water molecules that had been reported in three different crystal forms were also found to be in the same locations in the solution structure, with lifetimes with respect to exchange of the water protons in excess of 0.3 ns. Additional NOE s with polypeptide protons located on the protein surface may involve either hydration water molecules or hydroxyl protons of amino acid side chains. Their total number is small compared to the number of NOE s expected from the hydration water molecules identified in the crystal structures of BPTI .     

Improved ultrasonic extraction procedure for the determination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in sediments

The aim of this work was to optimize an ultrasonic extraction procedure for the determination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in sediments and to compare it with the reflux procedure using methanolic potassium hydroxide. Sample extracts were purified with a miniaturized silica gel chromatographic column and analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Ultrasonication using n-hexane-acetone (1:1, v/v) solvent mixture on dried homogenized marine sediment gave better precision (smaller relative standard deviation (RSD) values) and comparable quantities of individual PAH's compared to the reflux procedure. Ultrasonication with the n-hexane-acetone (1:1, v/v) mixture, utilizing four 15 min extraction cycles, was found to be sufficient for extracting PAHs from wet sediments. The optimized ultrasonic extraction procedure extracted aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons from the National Institute of Standards and Technology SRM 1941a with recoveries greater than 90%. The major advantages of ultrasonication compared to the reflux method are the lower extraction times, simplicity of the apparatus and extraction procedure. The optimized ultrasonication procedure has been used in our laboratory to extract hydrocarbons from naturally wet sediments from rivers, and coastal and marine areas.     

On the construction of primitive elements in field extensions

The subject of this article are a priori constructions of primitive elements in field extensions. Consider the totality of all separable polynomialsf of degreen over a fieldK with rootsx ₁,...,x _n and prescribed Galois groupG. A vector (b ₁,...,b _n )K ⁿ is called stably primitive (forG), if, for each suchf,b ₁ x ₁+...+b _n x _n generates the splitting field off. We develop representation theoretical devices to investigate the set of stably primitive vectors geometrically. A fundamental observation is that is either very large or very small (or even empty). These two cases are illustrated by various examples. Moreover, criteria are given to decide which case holds. For a number of groups where is recognized to be small we show.     

Band structure effects on the plasmon dispersion in simple metals

The real part of the effective dielectric function is derived analytically in the pseudopotential approximation. For anyk-direction, the theory allows the evaluation of the plasmon dispersion, _p (k), which is found to be anisotropic in general due to band structure effects. Application of the theory to Al yields an isotropic shift atk=0 of _p (0) _v – 0.3 eV and explains the recently observed anisotropic behaviour of the dispersion very well fork < 0.6k _F .     

Identifizierung von sechs Komponenten des Spurpheromons der Ameisenart Lasius fuliginosus. Vorläufige Mitteilung

Hexanoic acid, heptanoic acid, octanoic acid, nonanoic acid, decanoic acid, and dodecanoic acid are components of the trail pheromone of the ant species Lasius fuliginosus. The acids were extracted from the contents of the rectal ampullae and identified by the mass spectra and gas chromatographic retention times of the corresponding methyl esters.
