Electrophilic Copper(II) → Metal(II) Substitution in Gelatin-Immobilized Copper(II) Hexacyanoferrate(II) Matrix Implants

Contact of thin layers of gelatin-immobilized copper(II) hexacyanoferrate(II) matrices with aqueous solutions of Co(II), Ni(II), Zn(II), and Cd(II) chlorides results in partial substitution of these ions for Cu(II) to give (dd)-heterobinuclear hexacyanoferrates(II) of copper(II) and the corresponding double-charged ion.     

Quantum superarrivals and information transfer through a time-varying boundary

The time-dependent Schrödinger equation is solved numerically for the case of a Gaussian wave packet incident on a time-varying potential barrier. The time evolving reflection and transmission probabilities of the wave packet are computed for several different time-dependent boundary conditions obtained by reducing or increasing the height of the potential barrier. We show that in the case when the barrier height is reduced to zero, a time interval is found during which the reflection probability is larger (superarrivals) compared to the unperturbed case. We further show that the transmission probability exhibits superarrivals when the barrier is raised from zero to a finite value of its height. Superarrivals could be understood by ascribing the features of a real physical field to the Schrödinger wave function which acts as a carrier through which a disturbance, resulting from the boundary condition being perturbed, prpagates from the barrier to the detectors measuring reflected and transmitted probabilities. The speed of propagation of this effect depends upon the rate of reducing or raising the barrier height, thus suggesting an application for secure information transfer using superarrivals.     

Electrophilic Substitution Co(II)→M(II) (M = Mn,Ni, Cu,Zn, Cd) in Co2[Fe(CN)6] Gelatin-Immobilized Matrices

Electrophilic substitutions Co(II) M(II) (M = Mn, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd) in cobalt(II) hexacyanoferrate(II) gelatin-immobilized matrices in contact with aqueous solutions of corresponding chlorides MCl₂ were studied. As a result of this contact, Co(II) was shown to be replaced to some extent by Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), or Cd(II) and to give heteronuclear cobalt(II) hexacyanoferrates(II) and two-charge ions. A complete substitution of Co(II) or the formation the respective mononuclear hexacyanoferrate(II) M₂[Fe(CN)₂] was observed in neither of the studied systems Co(II) M(II). No Co(II) Mn(II) substitution was observed, even though the immobilized matrix was in contact with a solution for a long time.     

Calculation op the adsorption energy of nonpolar molecules on graphite

Summary The details of an earlier theoretical calculation of the energy of adsorption of simple and complex non-polar molecules on graphite were presented. The power sums of type were calculated for different distances of the adsorbate molecule from the external base plane of graphite, at n=6, 8, 10 and 12, as were also the exponential sums of type , at =0.28 A. Using approximate quantum mechanics equations, we calculated the constants of three terms of the energy of dispersive attraction, and also the constants of repulsion from the equilibrium condition. The additive scheme was used to calculate the potential curves and equilibrium adsorption energies of complex molecules.
