Chimie des complexes de metaux de transition avec des hydrocarbures cyanes : III. Quelques observations sur la conformation et la reactivite de complexes dicyclopentadienyles du molybdene et du tungstene

A new class of cyclic telluronium salts has been prepared. All the salts are stable in solution in CHCl₃ or dimethylsulphoxide (DMSO). Conductivity measurements in DMSO and dimethylformamide (DMF) have shown that considerable ion pairing occurs in solution. Infrared, ¹H, ¹³C, ¹²⁵Te NMR, and mass spectra are reported and discussed.     

Origin of the lower critical flocculation temperature in polymer colloids stabilized by polydimethylsiloxane

Summary It has recently been reported (6, 7) that poly(methyl methacrylate) particles that are sterically stabilised by polydimethylsiloxane flocculate on cooling when dispersed in short chain n-alkanes. Since the LCFT was reported to be essentially independent of the nature of the dispersion medium, it was postulated (2) that incipient flocculation of these particles was caused by crystallisation of the polydimethysiloxane chains, which would have allowed the attractive van der Waals forces to become operative. This hypothesis has now been confirmed by low temperature X-ray studies.

Zusammenfassung Von (6, 7) wurde kürzlich mitgeteilt, daß Poly(methylmethacrylat)-Teilchen, die mit Polydimethylsiloxan sterisch stabilisiert sind, in kurzkettigenn-Alkanen als Dispersionsmittel ausflocken. Da die LCFT im wesentlichen unabhängig von der Natur des Dispersionsmediums ist, wurde von (2) angenommen, daß die beginnende Ausflockung dieser Teilchen auf eine Kristallisation der Polydimethylsiloxan-Ketten zurückzuführen ist, bedingt durch die wirkenden van der Waals-Anziehungskräfte. Diese Hypothese wurde nun durch Röntgenuntersuchungen bei tiefer Temperatur bestätigt.

Some problems concerning the use of automated radiochemical separation systems in destructive neutron activation analysis

The present state of a long term program is reviewed. It was started to elaborate a remote controlled automated radiochemical processing system for the neutron activation analysis of biological materials. The system is based on wet ashing of the sample, followed by reactive desorption of some volatile components. The distillation residue is passed through a series of columns filled with selective ion screening materials to remove the matrix activity. The solution is thus “stripped” from the interfering radioions, and it is processed to single-elements through group separations using ion-exchange chromatographic techniques. Some special problems concerning this system are treated. (a) General aspects of the construction of a (semi)automated radiochemical processing system are discussed; (b) Comparison is made between various technical realizations of the same basic concept; (c) Some problems concerning the “reconstruction” of an already published processing system are outlined.
