Eichinvariante Berechnung des Diamagnetismus und der chemischen Verschiebung

The procedure derived in^1–4 was used to calculate the magnetic susceptibilities of a series of unsaturated hydrocarbons (propene, isobutene, 1-butene, cyclohexene, butadiene,trans-1,3,5-hexatriene). The difference between the measured and computed susceptibilities of these molecules is discussed. The discussion shows, that there is no correlation existing between the difference and the presumed delocalisation effects.

Die Ergebnisse sind Bestandteil einer der letzten Arbeiten, die von dem von uns hochverehrten, leider zu früh verstorbenen, Prof. Dr.W. Haberditzl betreut wurden.     

Cold vapor atomic absorption spectrometric determination of mercury using sodium tetrahydroborate reduction and collection on gold

Summary Sodium tetrahydroborate(III) is equivalent to or better than tin(II) chloride as a reducing agent for mercury in cold vapor atomic absorption spectrometry using collection on gold. Concentrations of copper, silver, nickel, iodide, antimony, arsenic, bismuth and selenium typically found in water or waste water do not interfere. Prerequirements for satisfactory performance are that the gold is at a temperature below 100C during collection of mercury and that the gas from the reaction flask is washed with sodium hydroxide and dried with magnesium perchlorate. All determinations were carried out in 5 mol l^–1 hydrochloric acid and in the presence of 200 mg l^–1 iron(III). Detection limits (3) of 0.15 ng absolute, and of 15 ng l^–1 or 3 ng l^–1, using 10 ml or 50 ml solution, respectively, are obtained. The analytical curve is linear to 40 ng, and the relative standard deviation in the optimum working range is better than 2%.

An interpretation of the Auger LVV transitions from oxides of third-row elements

The principal features in the LVV Auger spectra from the oxides of third-row elements are semi-empirically derived for the XO₄^n? species of Si, PS and Cl, and the XO₆^n? species of Mg and Al. Electron molecular orbital energies are derived from X-ray photoelectron and X-ray emission spectra; the central atom 3p electron density of states is taken from the Kβ X-ray emission. Two principal peaks, separated by ca. 14 eV, are predicted for the central atom LVV Auger spectra and are experimentally confirmed for the XO₄^n? species. Similar features are observed in published spectra for oxides of Mg and Al. These peaks correspond to central atom 3p electrons in orbitals whose energy is dominated by the atomic oxygen 2s and 2p electron levels. An examination of the total LVV line-shape shows that a self-convolution of the Kβ spectra does not reproduce the more subtle features, which are probably a result of the contributions of other electron orbitals and final-state effects. The possibility of using the LVV Auger spectra to discriminate between various oxide stoichiometries, i.e. sulfate, sulfite, etc., and between various ligand species, i.e. carbide, nitride, oxide, fluoride, is discussed.     

Equilibre lactime-lactame des hydroxy-pyridines et des hydroxy-pyrimidines (uraciles) en milieu apolaire : Etude infra-rouge

124-kDa PHYTOCHROME IN MODEL MEMBRANE SYSTEMS: STUDIES OF THE Ii700 INTERMEDIATES WITH THE PROTEIN COVALENTLY BOUND TO PREFORMED LIPOSOMES

Abstract— We have described the covalent binding of 124-kDa oat phytochrome to large unilamellar liposomes composed of either dioleoyl phosphatidylcholine or dipalmkoyl phosphatidylcholine or soybean lecithin, without affecting the photochromic properties of the protein. These phytochrome-liposome systems have now been studied by laser flash photolysis. The liposomes, independent of their membrane rigidity (liquid-crystal vs gel-like phase), do not influence the ratio and reactivity of the two primary photoproducts, Iⁱ₇₀₀- of the red absorbing form of phytochrome, P_l Thus, the lifetimes of the Iⁱ₇₀₀ intermediates and the activation parameters associated with Iⁱ₇₀₀Iⁱ_bl are the same as those measured for nonbound phytochrome in buffer solution. The temperature increase from about 273 K. to 297 K lowers the population of the shorter-lived Iⁱ₇₀₀ intermediate to the same extent both in the liposome-P_l and in nonbound P_l, whereas it does not affect the relative population of the Iⁱ₇₀₀ intermediates from non-bound P_l in the presence of 25% ethylene glycol added to the buffer solution (ionic strength 0.17).
