The Structural Characterization of Tin- and Titanium-Dopedα-Fe2O3Prepared by Hydrothermal Synthesis

The structural characteristics of tin- and titanium-dopedα-Fe₂O₃prepared by hydrothermal methods have been investigated by Rietveld structure refinement of the X-ray powder diffraction data. The analysis reveals that the dopant ions adopt two distinct sites: in addition to partially substituting at the octahedral Fe sites, they also occupy the interstitial octahedral sites which are vacant in theα-Fe₂O₃structure. The structural model deduced involves clusters of three substituted cations and is rational in that it represents microstructural regions of the rutile structure within a matrix ofα-Fe₂O₃.

Quad quantum cascade laser spectrometer with dual gas cells for the simultaneous analysis of mainstream and sidestream cigarette smoke

A compact, fast response, infrared spectrometer using four pulsed quantum cascade (QC) lasers has been applied to the analysis of gases in mainstream (MS) and sidestream (SS) cigarette smoke. QC lasers have many advantages over the traditional lead-salt tunable diode lasers, including near room temperature operation with thermoelectric cooling and single mode operation with improved long-term stability. The new instrument uses two 36 m, 0.3 l multiple pass absorption gas cells to obtain a time response of 0.1s for the MS smoke system and 0.4s for the SS smoke system. The concentrations of ammonia, ethylene, nitric oxide, and carbon dioxide for three different reference cigarettes were measured simultaneously in MS and SS smoke. A data rate of 20Hz provides sufficient resolution to determine the concentration profiles during each 2s puff in the MS smoke. Concentration profiles before, during and after the puffs also have been observed for these smoke constituents in SS smoke. Also, simultaneous measurements of CO(2) from a non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) analyzer are obtained for both MS and SS smoke. In addition, during this work, nitrous oxide was detected in both the MS and SS smoke for all reference cigarettes studied.     

Observation of a rectangular columnar phase in a DNA-calcium-zwitterionic lipid complex

In the presence of calcium, DNA and unilamellar liposomes of the zwitterionic lipid DPPC form a complex in which DNA strands are embedded between a lamellar phase of DPPC. In some complexes, in-plane alignment of the DNA strands occurs, where a DNA-DNA interaxial distance can be measured using small-angle X-ray scattering. Here we report a higher level of DNA organization, with a rectangular columnar phase of DNA identified within this complex structure. This observation is important in view of recent interests in creating new synthetic systems at the interface of biology.     

Novel non-aqueous Fe(III)/Fe(II) redox couple for the catalytic oxidation of hydrogen sulfide to sulfur by air

A series of Fe(III) salts and organic solvents have been screened to develop novel non-aqueous catalysts for the conversion of H2S to sulfur. FeCl3/95% N-methylpyrrolidinone/5% H2O was found to be a most efficient non-aqueous system. The process chemistry, the proposed mechanism of catalytic oxidation of H2S, and the electrochemistry are discussed.
