Time series hyperspectral chemical imaging data: challenges, solutions and applications

Hyperspectral chemical imaging (HCI) integrates imaging and spectroscopy resulting in three-dimensional data structures, hypercubes, with two spatial and one wavelength dimension. Each spatial image pixel in a hypercube contains a spectrum with >100 datapoints. While HCI facilitates enhanced monitoring of multi-component systems; time series HCI offers the possibility of a more comprehensive understanding of the dynamics of such systems and processes. This implies a need for modeling strategies that can cope with the large multivariate data structures generated in time series HCI experiments. The challenges posed by such data include dimensionality reduction, temporal morphological variation of samples and instrumental drift. This article presents potential solutions to these challenges, including multiway analysis, object tracking, multivariate curve resolution and non-linear regression. Several real world examples of time series HCI data are presented to illustrate the proposed solutions.     

Thermal analysis of metal complexes,III

On the basis of the thermal investigation of Mpy_nX _z mixed complexes (where M=Mn²⁺, Co²⁺, Ni²⁺, Cu²⁺, Zn²⁺, Cd²⁺; py=pyridine; or-, - and-picoline; X=Cl^–, Br^–, I^–, OCN^–, SCN^–, NO ₃ ^– , SO ₄ ^2– ; andn=2,3,4,6;z=1,2), factors influencing the stability of the metal-pyridine-N bond have been determined.On the basis of the measured magnetic susceptibilities the symmetry of the coordina tion sphere of the central atom has been established in the intermediate products formed by the thermal decomposition of cobalt(II) complexes.

Bestimmung von Metallen in organischen Verbindungen

Die Verwendung von Bromchlor als Ma?l?sung in der Analyse

Zusammenfassung Die Verfasser haben ein einfaches Verfahren zur Herstellung einer in der Analyse brauchbaren Bromchlor-Maßlösung ausgearbeitet. Es wird festgestellt, daß die Bromchloradditionen infolge labiler Struktur des Bromchlors (heterolytische Dissoziation!) mit viel größerer Geschwindigkeit ablaufen als die Brom- oder Chloradditionen.Gut dissoziierende Quecksilber(II)-salze sichern eine weitere Steigerung der heterolytischen Dissoziation des Bromchlors, weil sie mit den Chloridionen der Lösung ein schlecht dissoziierendes Quecksilbersalz bilden, was zur Folge hat, daß die Geschwindigkeit der Additionsreaktion beschleunigt wird. Die Bromchloraddition der Maleinsäure und auch der Fumarsäure verläuft bei Anwesenheit von Quecksilber(II)-ionen binnen 15 min quantitativ.Auf Grund dieser Ergebnisse wird ein analytisches Verfahren zur Bestimmung von Maleinsäure und Fumarsäure ausgearbeitet.Es wird auch ein Verfahren zur Bestimmung von Maleinsäure allein neben Fumarsäure angegeben.     

Effect of ethanol on micellization and on decarboxylation of 6-nitrobenzisoxazole-3-carboxylate in aqueous cationic micelles

The effects of ethanol on the critical micellar concentration (cmc) and the rates of decarboxylation of 6-nitrobenzisoxazole-3-carboxylate (6-NBIC) have been investigated in aqueous cationic surfactants of the cetyltrialkylammonium family with bromide [CT(R)ABr], chloride [CT(R)ACl], and nitrate [CT(R)ANO3] counterions, and methyl (CTAX), n-propyl (CTPAX), and n-butyl (CTBAX) as the head group alkyl moieties. Effects upon cmc and reactivity are similar, featuring a break at the ethanol mole fraction, x(EtOH), of ca. 0.055; these effects have been related to changes in solvent structure, with formation of a clathrate at x(EtOH) = 0.055. Rate data in CTBABr were further investigated and fitting of raw kinetic data to the pseudophase model is possible up to x(EtOH) = 0.1, showing an unexpected decrease of rate constant values in the micellar pseudophase, kM', as ethanol content increases: a significant variation of micellar ionization degree could account for this kinetic effect.     

Kristallstrukturbestimmung von N-Trimethylsily-N′-methylimidazoliumbromid

Crystal Structure Determination of N-Trimethylsilyl-N′-Methylimidazolium Bromide The reaction of Trimethylbromosilane and N-Methylimidazole (NMI) led to a 1:1 compound stable at room temperature. The reaction was carried out at room temperature and colorless single crystals were obtained by sublimation. The addition compound crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pbnb (No. 56) with lattice constants a = 1218.3(2)pm, b = 1333.6(1)pm, c = 1360.2(2)pm, Z = 8, D_calc = 1.414 g/cm³. For 1506 independent reflections, measured at 21°C the structure could be refined to R = 0.067 and R_w = 0.062.     

Weak localization and electron-electron interactions in thin Pd and PdHx films

We investigate the temperature and magnetic field dependence of the resistance R of thin Pd and PdHx films. We show that the logarithmic behaviour R(T) ≈ A ln T is dominated in Pd by the interaction effect. Loading progressively with hydrogen shows first no change in A and then a decrease followed by a sign reversal when superconducting fluctuations prevail. The application of a magnetic field restores then a positive and large value of A. These data are analyzed within recent theories.
