A single closed formula for the general three-denominator Dalitz integral

We examine a general Dalitz integral containing the usual Feynman-type two-denominator term together with the Fourier transform \(\tilde \phi _{nlm} (q)\) of the hydrogenlike wave-function. A single closed formula is obtained for an arbitrary set {nlm} of quantum numbers, which is expressed in terms of the multivariable Lauricella hypergeometric functionF _D . The result is useful in a variety of calculations within the second Born approximation.     

Poly(ethylene glycol) as Impregnator for Silica Gel in Salting-Out Thin-Layer Chromatography of Some Co(III) Complexes

Silica gel impregnated with poly(ethylene glycol) of different molecular mass (400, 1000, 1540, 4000, and 5500) was investigated for salting-out thin-layer chromatography of 15 mixed aminocarboxylato Co(III) complexes using eight ammonium sulphate solutions as mobile phases. Regularities established earlier for non-impregnated adsorbents are also valid in this work. Poly(ethylene glycol) of high molecular mass increases the hydrophobicity of the adsorbent. Positive linear dependence of R_M values and of salting-out efficiency on average poly(ethylene glycol) molecular mass was usually observed. In contrast with non-impregnated silica gel, separation was achieved between complexes with the smallest hydrocarbon groups.     

Stabilization of a K+-(bis-Cage-Annulated 20-Crown-6) Complex by Bidentate Picrate

Bis-cage-annulated 18-crown-6 and 20-crown-6 macrocyclic ethers (i.e., 1 and 2, respectively) have been synthesized, and their alkali metal picrate extraction profiles have been determined. Host system 1 proved to be a significantly more avid alkali metal cation complexant than 2 and somewhat more avid than 18-crown-6. Both 1 and 18-crown-6 display modest selectivity toward K⁺ and Rb⁺. A stable host–guest complex was prepared by slow evaporation of a CH₂Cl₂–hexane solution of an equimolar mixture of 2 and potassium picrate. The X-ray crystal structure of this complex reveals that picrate anion functions as a bidentate ligand therein. The gas-phase interaction energy between the 2 K⁺ complex and picrate anion was calculated to be ca. –64.9 kcal mol^–1, thereby indicating that participation of picrate anion as an additional bidentate ligand results in significant stabilization of complex 10.     

Cobalt(II) Chloride Complex Formation in Acetamide–Calcium Nitrate Tetrahydrate Melts

The absorption spectra of Co(II) chloride complexes, containing variable concentrations of chloride ligand, in a molten mixture of 80 mol% acetamide–20 mol% calcium nitrate tetrahydrate, were studied at 313, 333, 353, and 363 K, in the wavelength range 400-800 nm. The melt contains three possible ligands (CH₃CONH₂, H₂O, and NO₃ ^-) for competition with added chloride ligand. Addition of chloride caused a shift of the absorption maximum of octahedral cobalt(II) nitrate towards lower energies and pronounced changes in the shape of the initial spectrum of cobalt(II) nitrate. The effect of temperature changes on the molar absorption coefficient of the Co(II) species was dependent on the chloride concentration and was attributed to the structural changes occurring in the cobalt(II) species. The STAR and STAR FA programs were applied to identify the complex ionic species and to calculate the stability constants of Co(II) complexes formed in this solvent. The results indicate the highest probability of formation of the following complex species: Co(NO₃)₄ ^2-, Co(NO₃)₂Cl₂ ^2-, and CoCl₄ ^2-. Stability constants of each complex were presented for the equilibria occurring at 313, 333, 353, and 363 K. Distribution of the Co(II) species was also calculated over the ranges of chloride concentration and temperature investigated.     

Nitrite catalyzes reductive nitrosylation of the water-soluble Ferri-Heme model FeIII(TPPS) to FeII(TPPS)(NO)

Quantitative investigation of the reaction of the ferri-heme model compound Fe(III)(TPPS)(H(2)O)(2) (1) to give Fe(II)(TPPS)(NO) (2) (TPPS = tetra(4-sulfonato-phenyl)porphinato) in buffered aqueous solution demonstrates a slow pH-independent reductive nitrosylation pathway in the pH range 4-6. The rate of this reaction is subject to modest general base catalysis. In the course of this study, a surprising catalytic pathway whereby nitrite ion (NO(2)(-)) strongly catalyzes the reduction of 1 to 2 under reductive nitrosylation conditions was demonstrated.     

Electron microscopy of V2O5 microcrystals in the V2O5-NH3-H2O colloid system

Summary The formation of V₂O₅ fibrous microcrystals in the V₂O₅-NH₃-H₂O system has been investigated by electron microscopy. The morphology of these microcrystals is dependent on the concentration of the particular components in the colloidal system and on the time of aging. In some colloid systems the orientation of V₂O₅ fibrous crystals with their long axes parallel to one another is also possible. The microcrystal growth in these systems can be attributed to very effective conditions for the recrystallization of vanadium pentoxide crystals in equilibrium with ammonium vanadate in solution.With 3 figures     

A simple procedure for the quantitative microdetermination of rhamnose

Summary A simple spectrophotometric procedure for microdetermination of rhamnose is described. It is based on breakdown of the sugar with sulphuric acid followed by treatment withp-hydroxydiphenyl. The coloured product is measured spectrophotometrically at 560 nm. A linear relationship exists between the amount of rhamnose (10-0g–) and the absorbance. The method is recommended for determination of rhamnose in samples containing rhamnose, different neutral sugars, amino-sugars, sugar alcohols, uronic acids, and muramic acid.

Es beruht auf der Spaltung des Zuckers mit Schwefelsäure und nachfolgender Behandlung mit p-Hydroxydiphenyl. Das gefärbte Reaktionsprodukt wird spektralphotometrisch bei 560 nm gemessen. Die Extinktion steht mit der Rhamnosemenge in linearer Beziehung. Das Verfahren wird für die Rhamnosebestimmung in Proben empfohlen, die verschiedene Neutralzucker, Aminozucker, Zuckeralkohole, Uronsäuren und Muramsäure enthalten.

     

Potentiometric determination of the protonation constants of 1,3-propanediamine-N,N'-diacetate-N,N'-di-3-propionate

The protonation constants of 1,3-propanediamine-N,N'-diacetate-N,N'-di-3-propionate (1,3-pddadp) were determined in sodium nitrate solution of various concentrations and in 0.1M potassium nitrate medium. The values of the thermodynamic functions (DeltaG, DeltaH and DeltaS) for the successive protonation equilibria, in 0.1M (Na)NO(3) medium, at 25 degrees , are also reported.     

Infrared spectroscopic evidence for Π back-bonding in molecular adducts of pyridine

The observation of the dependence of the in-phase, out-of-plane CH bending on π electron density in aromatics made by Kross was applied to pyridine molecular complexes. Comparison of systems with and without possible back bonding and the existence of a series resembling the Irving-Williams' series, assert the π back bonding to be responsible for the behaviour of the pyridine “umbrella” band.
