Kinetics of the Formation of Goethite in the Presence of Sulfates and Chlorides of Monovalent Cations

The synthesis of goethite by oxidation of Fe²⁺in presence of metallic iron was undertaken in an aqueous medium containing indifferent salts such as Na₂SO₄, (NH₄)₂SO₄, NaCl, and NH₄Cl. Temperature and bubbling air rate were maintained, respectively, at 70°C and 1 L/min. The influence of anions and cations on the kinetics of each step of the process has been followed distinctly, the iron dissolution rate has been determined by the variation of the medium acidity, and the precipitation of goethite has been determined by gravimetric measurements. With respect to Cl⁻, the SO₄²⁻anion decreases the rate of the two reactions. NH₄⁺acts as an inhibitor when it is present at low concentrations and as an accelerator for higher concentrations; the limit corresponding to the change of NH₄⁺behavior depends on the nature of the counter ion. The reaction product is composed of pure goethite in the presence of sulfate salts, whereas a mixture of goethite and lepidocrocite, respectively, 60–70 and 40–30%, was observed in the presence of chloride salts.     

Isolierung und Nachweis basischer Arzneimittel in der Toxikologie

Zusammenfassung Zu den schwierigsten Aufgaben der toxikologischen Analyse gehört die rasche und sichere Isolierung und Identifizierung organischer Basen aus dem Untersuchungsmaterial. Mit einem entsprechenden Extraktionsverfahren oder durch Fällung mit Tetraphenylborat in einem systematischen Analysengang können sehr günstige Ausbeuten erzielt werden. Die Reinigung der Rohextrakte oder -fällungen erfolgt prinzipiell mittels Dünnschichtchromatographie. Aus den Tetraphenylboratkomplexen werden dabei auf den Kieselgelschichten die reinen Basen in Freiheit gesetzt. An Hand derR _f- Wert-Tabellen ist eine Identifizierung möglich, wobei Substanzen mit gleichemR _f- Wert durch fraktionierte Extraktion bei verschiedenem p_H getrennt werden können. Eine weitere Identifizierung kann mit Hilfe der UV-Spektren erfolgen.

Summary Among the most difficult problems of toxicological analysis are the rapid and reliable isolation and identification of organic bases from the material under examination. Very satisfactory yields can be obtained by means of a suitable extraction procedure or through precipitation with tetraphenyl borate in a systematic scheme of analysis. The purification of the crude extracts or precipitates is accomplished fundamentally by thin layer chromotography. The pure bases are liberated on the silica layers from the tetraphenyl borate complexes. An identification is possible through reference toR _f- tables; substances with likeR _f value can be separated by fractional extraction at different p_H values. A further identification can be made with the aid of UV spectra.

Résumé L'isolement rapide et sûr des bases organiques dans une substance à l'étude et leur identification représentent l'un des problèmes les plus difficiles de l'analyse toxicologique. On peut atteindre des rendements très satisfaisants avec un procédé d'extraction analogue ou par précipitation par le tétraphénylborure dans un processus d'analyse systématique. La purification de l'extrait brut ou des produits de précipitation s'effectue principalement au moyen de la chromatographie en couche mince. Les bases pures sont libérées des complexes au tétraphénylborure en opérant sur couches en gel de silice. On peut faire une identification en se servant des valeurs desR _f figurant dans les tables, ce qui permet de séparer les substances de mêmeR _f par extraction fractionnée à des p_H différents. Une identification plus poussée peut avoir lieu à l'aide des spectres UV.

Electrochemical behaviour of an indium electrode in concentrated KOH solutions at different temperatures

Summary The electrochemical behaviour of pure indium in KOH solutions (1–4M) was studied at different temperatures (25–70°C) by potentiostatic techniques. Two anodic peaks corresponding to the formation of In(OH)₃ and In₂O₃ were observed. The heights of the two peaks increased with the increase of alkali concentration. An increase of temperature increased the peak currents and shifted their corresponding potentials to more negative values. The variation of the peak currents and peak potentials with scan rate suggested that the anodic dissolution of indium was a diffusion controlled process. In cyclic voltammetry, the reverse scan consistently showed one peak which was attributed to the reduction of anodic oxidation products into indium. X-ray diffraction analysis confirmed the presence of In(OH)₃ at the first anodic peak, In(OH)₃ and In₂O₃ at the second anodic peak and In₂O₃ in the permanent passive region.

Zum elektrochemischen Verhalten einer Indium-Elektrode in konzentrierter Kalilauge bei verschiedenen Temperaturen

Zusammenfassung Es wurde das Verhalten von reinem Indium in 1 – 4M KOH-Lösungen bei Temperaturen zwischen 25 und 70°C mittels potentiostatischer Methoden untersucht. Zwei anodische Peaks, entsprechend der Bildung von In(OH)₃ und In₂O₃, traten auf. Die Höhe der beiden Peaks wurde mit zunehmender Alkalikonzentration gesteigert. Eine Temperaturerhöhung verstärkte die Peakströme und verschob die entsprechenden Potentiale zu negativeren Werten. Die Abhängigkeit der Peakströme und Peakpotentiale von der Scangeschwindigkeit legte den Schluß nahe, daß die anodische Lösung von Indium in einem diffusionskontrollierten Prozeß stattfindet. Bei der cyclischen Voltammetrie zeigte der reverse Scan einheitlich einen Peak, der der Reduktion der anodischen Oxidationsprodukte zu Indium zugeschrieben wurde. Röntgendiffraktionsanalyse bestätigte die Präsenz von In(OH)₃ beim ersten anodischen Peak, In(OH)₃ beim zweiten Peak und In₂O₃ im permanent passiven Bereich.

     

Lithium diorganocuprate reactions with l-serine derivatives

The lithium diorganocuprate reactions with L-serine derivatives are studied. Retention of configuration, or at least a high enantiomeric excess (>80%) of the formed α-amino esters is observed in all cases. Attempts are made to restrict side-reactions.     

Selective monodeoxygenation of quinoxaline-amino acid and ester dioxides

Trimethyl phosphite selectively removes the N-1-oxygen in N-(3-methyl-2-quinoxaloyl) L-α-amino ester-1,4-dioxides, whereas it removes the N-4-oxygen in the corresponding series of dioxides lacking the C₃-Me. This selectivity reversal reflects the relative strength of the intrahydrogen-bridging to the N-1-oxygen. The monoxides having the favourable N-oxygen are not reduced to the quinoxalines, implying that the reagent requires doubling of the N-oxide function for deoxygenation. However, alkaline sodium dithionite removes the N-1-oxygen in both series of the amino acid-dioxides, as well as in the parent quinoxaline-2-carboxylic acid-dioxides, a result that contradicts the report stating removal of the N-4-oxygen. The N-oxygenated quinoxalinium ion ($\text{m}\text{e}$ 145 or 159) prevails in the MS of the 4-oxides, but it is not observed (<1%) for the isomeric 1-oxides. ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR and UV spectral data also offer diagnostic criteria for differentiation between the isomeric 1- and 4-oxides. Aryl-heteryl “interaction” (as revealed by ¹H NMR, though not by ¹³C NMR in the aromatic amino ester dioxides) is not manifested in the corresponding monoxides.     

Novel species in the electrochemical reduction of a metalmetal bond bridged by a bidentate fluorophosphine

The purple bridged bimetallic complex [CH₃N(PF₂)₂]₃Co₂(CO)₂ undergoes successive chemically and electrochemically reversible one-electron reductions to the corresponding green radical anion and pale-yellow dianion. The radical anion is relatively unreactive towards oxygen and methyl iodide. The dianion is not only reactive towards oxygen and methyl iodide but also captures small positively charged species (e.g. Li⁺ and H⁺) with significant alteration of its chemical properties.     

The use of Omega Chrome Fast Blue 2G in the microdetermination of some metals

Summary Omega Chrome Fast Blue 2G has been found to be a suitable indicator for the detection of the equivalence point of calcium, magnesium and manganese in the presence of cadmium, nickel, and aluminium, when they are masked by the addition of cyanide or triethanolamine. It is also a suitable indicator for the back titration of aluminium using calcium or magnesium as a back titrant.This dye has also been found to be a suitable reagent for the colorimetric determination of calcium, magnesium, manganese and thorium.
