Radiometric titration based on colloidal and slow precipitate formation

Fluoride ions and, in about 0.005M concentration, tungstate ions form gelatinous precipitates, poorly soluble in water, with calcium ions. The radiometric determinations of the above ions are based on these reactions. Accurate radiometric determination can be carried out only if the gelatinous precipitate formed during titration can be properly separated from the solution. It has been found that in the case of fluoride ions the application of crystalline, easily filtrable Ca(COO)₂·H₂O or CaCO₃, and in the case of tungstate ions the application of CaWO₄ precipitate improves the filtration properties of⁴⁵CaF₂ and⁴⁵CaWO₄, respectively, formed during titration, whereby the radiometric determinations of the above ions become possible. Titrations were carried out with 0.05M and 0.005M CaCl₂ solutions, labelled with⁴⁵Ca.

Electrodeposition of cobalt on stainless steel foils. Preparation of57Co sources for Mössbauer experiments

Conditions for the electrodeposition of⁵⁹Co and⁵⁷Co on stainless steel foils have been studied. A set of electrolytic parameters has been determined to get a reasonably good electrodeposited sample. The⁵⁷Co electrodeposited foil was then introduced in a quartz tube to be annealed in an argon flow. The final product was a 11 Ci Mössbauer source for college experiments which was succesfully tested by obtaining spectra of stainless steel and sodium nitroprusside.     

Simultaneous spectrofluorimetric determination of the rare earths with calcein

The reactivity of the fluorescent reagent calcein with the trivalent cations of the rare earths has been spectrofluorimetrically studied in aqueous solution. Optimum excitation and emission wavelengths were 492-497 and 519-522 nm, respectively. Optimum pH was in the range 6.0-9.2. The stoichiometry of the complexes was 1:1. A direct, rapid and sensitive method for the determination of rare earth mixtures has been proposed with a detection limit of 4.49x10(-8) M and a coefficient of variation of 0.82%.     

Associations moléculaires dans les cristaux de mélanges binaires de savons

Conclusion La variation des valeurs des grands espacements ou les différentes valeurs des espacements trouvés avec les mélanges binaires des sels alcalins des acides gras de différentes longueurs de chaîne peuvent être expliquées de la façon suivante: Plus les longueurs des chaînes des deux espèces de molécules sont voisines, plus elles ont tendance à cristalliser comme s'il s'agissait de molécules identiques et plus elles forment donc aisément des solutions solides. Ceci se produit pour des valeurs de la différence relative du nombre d'atomes de carbonex/n 0,14. Au fur et à mesure que cette différence croît, ces mélanges peuvent donner un composé stchiométrique, mais ne plus donner des solutions solides en toutes proportions. Ceci se produit pour des valeurs dex/n comprises entre 0,14 et 0,50. Enfin si la différence relativex/n est plus grande que 0,50 les savons cristallisent séparément; il n'y a ni solution solide, ni composé moléculaire.

Zusammenfassung Mit Hilfe von Röntgendiagrammen wurden binäre Gemische von Natriumsalzen der gesättigten Fettsäuren mit gerader Kohlenstoffatomzahl und mit unterschiedlicher Kettenlänge untersucht, um die Existenz von möglichen definierten Molekülverbindungen nachzuweisen.Zu diesem Zweck wurden systematisch alle möglichen binären Kombinationen der Seifen durchgemessen, wobei für jedes Seifenpaar eine Reihe Messungen in verschiedenem Verhältnis beider Konstituenten angefertigt wurde.Die einfache Betrachtung der absoluten unterschiedlichen Kettenlänge in einem solchen binären Gemisch gestattet nicht, die Ungleichheit der erhaltenen Resultate zu erklären, aber derrelative Unterschied n/n, das heißt bezogen auf die Anzahl der Kohlenstoffatome beider Ketten, läßt die Aufstellung einer allgemeinen Regel zu. Je nach der Größe dieses ansteigenden relativen Unterschieds beobachtet man zuerst eine Bildung von festen Lösungen, danach Molekülassoziationen mit definierten Proportionen, und schließlich eine getrennte Kristallisation der beiden Konstituenten. Diese Ergebnisse werden bestätigt durch die Solidus-Liquidus-Kurven derselben Seifengemische.

     

Peculiarities of the photo aging of aromatic polyesters

Conclusions In the photolysis of films of polyarylates F-1 and D-9, together with destruction and structuration, there is a formation of light-absorbing o-hydroxyketone and quinoid structures in the polymers, which determines the self-stabilization of the polyesters; moreover, the basic photochemical processes take place in a thin surface layer.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 10, pp. 2302–2304 October, 1969     

Novel method for the preparation of anionic surfactant-selective electrodes

A simple one-step synthesis is described for the functionalization of poly(vinyl chloride) used for the preparation of anionic surfactant-selective membrane electrodes. The method is based on the nucleophilic substitution of a fraction of the chlorine atoms bound to the poly(vinyl chloride) backbone by trimethylamine. The prepared slightly charged polymer gave rise to high-quality surfactant-selective electrode membranes, which had a Nernstian response, short response time, and appropriate stability.     

Studies on the conversions of diols and cyclic ethers—49: Stereochemistry of cyclodehydration of 1,4-diols on the action of brönsted and lewis acids: a comprehensive study

The stereochemistry of the cyclodehydration of (±)- and meso-2,5-hexanediol on the action of various dehydrating agents was investigated. The earlier assumed and confirmed intramolecular S_N2 mechanism for acid-catalysed ring-closure was found to hold in most cases. Various extents of racemisation can be observed on the action of certain Lewis acids, and the solvents concentrated H₂SO₄ and HMPT (hexamethyl phosporic acid triamide) under previously unexamined reaction conditions.     

Studies on the 4-benzoylpyridine-3-carboxamide entity as a fragment model of the Isoniazid-NAD adduct

An ortho-metallation-electrophilic substitution sequence was employed as a key step to build the 4-benzoylpyridine framework. It was found that 4-benzoylpyridine-3-carboxamide and an N-pyridyl alkylated derivative both exist in a unique cyclized hemiamidal structure, not in the usually expected keto-amide open form. These structures represent fragment models of the Isoniazid-NAD adducts involved in the mechanism of action of the antituberculous drug Isoniazid.
