Darstellung und Eigenschaften von Chromtricarbonyl-Komplexen strukturisomerer Borazin-Derivate

The new hexaalkylborazine chromium tricarbonyls (n-Pr)₃B₃N₃Me₃Cr(CO)₃ (V), Me₃B₃N₃(n-Pr)₃Cr(CO)₃ (VI), (i-Pr)₃B₃N₃Me₃Cr(CO)₃ (VII) and Me₃B₃N₃(i-Pr)₃Cr(CO)₃ (VIII) have been prepared from fac-Cr(CO)₃(MeCN)₃ and the corresponding borazine in dioxane or without solvent. They are much more labile than the isomeric complex Et₃B₃N₃Et₃Cr(CO)₃ (IV) which can be readily obtained from Et₃B₃N₃Me₃Cr(CO)₃ and Et₃B₃N₃Et₃ by ring ligand exchange. The NMR., IR., UV. and Mass spectroscopic data of the complexes IV–VIII will be briefly discussed. The preparation of the borazine derivatives (n-Pr)₃B₃N₃Me₃ (IX) and Me₃B₃N₃(n-Pr)₃ (X) is also reported.     

Sorption of trace concentrations of gallium(III) and iodide ions on tin(II) hydroxide

Summary The results of sorption measurements for gallium (III) and iodide ion traces onto tin(II) hydroxide from aqueous heterogeneous systems are given. Since only tagged sorbate was used (⁶⁷Ga and 1311), in the determination of sorption by radioactive tracer method, it was necessary to establish the pH interval of tin(II) hydroxide in/stability. This was done by a turbidimetric method and the pH region of instability between 3 and 9 was found.The sorption results indicate a difference in sorption ability of gallium(III) and iodide as it appears from the dependence of the amount sorbed on contact time between heterogeneous reactants (sorbentsorbate). The amounts sorbed increase with increasing contact times at higher pH values for Ga(III) but remain unaffected for iodide sorption. Thus the sorption of iodide ions seems to be restricted to the solid surface while the sorption results for gallium(III) indicate the diffusion of sorbate into sorbent as a possible parallel mechanism. Those processes could be taken as compatible with the porous-double-layer mechanism which has been proposed in literature for aqueous heterogeneous oxide systems.

Zusammenfassung In der Arbeit werden Ergebnisse von Sorptionsmessungen für Ga³⁺- und j-Spuren an Zinn(II)-Hydroxid aus wäßrigen heterogenen Systemen berichtet. Zur analytischen Erfassung wurden radioaktives⁶⁷Ga und 131 J verwendet. Die Stabilität von Zinn(II)-Hydroxid wurde durch Trübungsmessungen untersucht. Im pH-Bereich von 3–9 ist das Zinn(II)-Hydroxid als kolloide Suspension instabil.Ga³⁺ und J^– verhalten sich bei der Adsorption unterschiedlich. Die adsorbierte Menge steigt mit zunehmender Kontaktzeit bei hohen pH-Werten von Gallium, bleibt jedoch für Jod unverändert. Die Unterschiede werden gedeutet durch die Annahme, daß Jod nur an der festen Oberfläche adsorbiert wird, während die Galliumionen auch in das Sorbens diffundieren können. Man könnte die Ergebnisse als verträglich mit einem porösen Doppelschichtmechanismus ansehen; ein solcher Mechanismus ist in der Literatur für wäßrige heterogene Oxidsysteme vorgeschlagen worden.

Semiclassical study of collision-induced predissociation: Comparison of the Landau-Zener model with the method of analytic continuation

Semiclassical calculations are carried out by two methods for the problem of collision-induced predissociation of electronically excited I₂. The first method is that of surface-hopping with the Landau-Zener model. The second method is similar to surface-hopping, except that analytic continuation of the adiabatic potential energy surfaces replaces the Landau-Zener model. Results of the calculations by the two methods compare favorably with each other and with experiment. The possible advantages of the second method are discussed.Camille and Henry Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar, Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellow.     

On the reaction between coumarins and hydroxylamine

The Posner reaction between coumarin and hydroxylamine was studied and extended to several substituted coumarins. Isolation of some significant reaction intermediates permitted rationalization of a possible reaction pathway.

Precipitation and characterization of uniform submicrometer lead titanate particles. Part II: Reaction mechanism

The chemical mechanism of the precipitation of lead titanium peroxohydroxide particles in a solution of nitrilotriacetate (NTA) complexes of lead and titanium peroxo-hydroxide is envisioned as the interaction between cations of lead hydroxide and anions of polymeric titanium peroxo-hydroxide.     

Protein secondary structure conformations and associated hydrophobicity scales

We have developed conformational preference functions and a hierarchy of algorithms that can evaluate the success of each hydrophobicity scale in predicting protein secondary conformation. The results of such evaluation are shown for fiftyfive different scales with respect to their ability to predict -helix, -sheet and coil structure in three testing sets of proteins: five integral membrane proteins, twelve -class and sixteen -class soluble proteins. Our scale of conformational parameters is the best predictor of secondary structure segments in membrane proteins and -class proteins. The success rate and correlation coefficient for -helix conformation in membrane proteins are 76% and 0.46 respectively, which is superior to the performance measures attained with other prediction schemes. Evaluation of solution hydrophobicity scales, often used to predict transmembrane segments in membrane proteins, indicated absence of correlation in prediction of helix segments and experimental results for the conformation of membrane proteins. Such scales have better performance (correlation coefficient around 0.30) in predicting sheet conformation in the -class proteins.
