Die quantitative Bestimmung von Vanadin mittels aktivierter Katalyse

Zusammenfassung Es wurden zwei Verfahren ausgearbeitet, um Vanadin mit Hilfe von aktivierter Katalyse zu bestimmen. Die Methodik ist geeignet, kleinste Spuren von Vanadin (bis herab zu 0,0006) mit ausreichender Genauigkeit zu ermitteln. Es werden Beleganalysen mitgeteilt.

Thermal degradation of copolymers of styrene and methyl-vinyl-silane by pyrolysis gas chromatography

Pyrolysis gas chromatographic investigations have been carried out on copolymers of styrene with trimethyl-vinyl-silane and of styrene with dimethyl-phenyl-vinyl-silane, in order to study the mechansims of thermal degradation and the copolymer structures. We have identified the pyrolysis products and measured their relative amounts. The experiments show that the controlling factor in the mechanism of the degradation is the nature of the side-group attached to the carbon atom at which chain scission occurs. If this side-group is phenyl, the main degradation process is depropagation; if it is if it is trimethyl-silyl or dimethyl-phenyl-silyl, intramolecular hydrogen abstraction followed by β scission becomes more important than depropagation. From the point of view of degradation mechanism, the nature of the side-group attached to the carbon atom from which the hydrogen is abstracted is of minor importance.We estimated the average copolymer block length from the amounts of products containing both comonomers as well as from the amounts of trimer composed of the same monomer.     

(1-Adamantanethio)pyridines and tetrahydropyridines from the reaction of 1-adamantanethiol with pyridine I-oxide in acetic anhydride

The reaction of pyridine 1-oxide with 1-adamantanethiol in acetic anhydride produced a mixture of 2- and 3-(1-adamantanethio)pyridines, 1-aeetyl-2-(1-adamantanethio)-3-hydroxy-4-acetoxy-1,2,3,4-telrahydropyridine and the corresponding 3-acetoxyderivative. Pure substances were separated by means of column chromatography on alumina. The tetrahydropyridines were identified by means of their proton magnetic and mass spectra. 4-(1-Adamantanethio)pyridine was synthesized from 4-chloropyridinc and 1-adamantanethiol. The three isomeric (1-adamantanethio)-pyridines were, each, cleaved by concentrated hydrochloric acid to give 1-chloroadamantane and the corresponding pyridinethiol.

Graphs whose every transitive orientation contains almost every relation

Given a graphG onn vertices and a total ordering ≺ ofV(G), the transitive orientation ofG associated with ≺, denotedP(G; ≺), is the partial order onV(G) defined by settingx<y inP(G; ≺) if there is a pathx=x ₁ x ₂…x _r=y inG such thatx ₁ ≺x _j for 1≦i<j≦r. We investigate graphsG such that every transitive orientation ofG contains ₂ ⁿ −o(n ²) relations. We prove that almost everyG _n,p satisfies this requirement if , but almost noG _n,p satisfies the condition if (pn log log logn)/(logn log logn) is bounded. We also show that every graphG withn vertices and at mostcn logn edges has some transitive orientation with fewer than ₂ ⁿ −δ(c)n ² relations. Partially supported by MCS Grant 8104854.     

Extensions of Szegö's theory of orthogonal polynomials,III

Let {ø _n (dμ)} be a system of orthonormal polynomials on the unit circle with respect to a measuredμ. Szegö's theory is concerned with the asymptotic behavior ofø _n (dμ) when logμ′∈L ¹. In what follows we will discuss the asymptotic behavior of the ratioø _n (dμ ₂)/ø _n (dμ ₁) on the unit circle whendμ ₁ anddμ ₂ are close in a sense (e.g.,dμ ₂=gdμ ₁, where g≥0 is such thatQ(e ^it )g(t) andQ(e ^it )/g(t) are bounded for a suitable polynomialQ) and μ ₁ ^′ >0 almost everywhere or (a somewhat weaker requirement) lim _n→∞Φ _n (dμ ₁,0)=0 for the monic polynomial Φ _n . The asymptotic behavior of the same fraction outside the unit circle was discussed in an earlier paper.     

On the number of faces of centrally-symmetric simplicial polytopes

I. Bárány and L. Lovász [Acta Math. Acad. Sci. Hung.40, 323–329 (1982)] showed that ad-dimensional centrally-symmetric simplicial polytopeP has at least 2 ^d facets, and conjectured a lower bound for the numberf _i ofi-dimensional faces ofP in terms ofd and the numberf ₀ =2n of vertices. Define integers A. Björner conjectured (unpublished) that (which generalizes the result of Bárány-Lovász sincef _d–1 = h _i ), and more strongly that , which is easily seen to imply the conjecture of Bárány-Lovász. In this paper the conjectures of Björner are proved.Partially supported by NSF grant MCS-8104855. The research was performed when the author was a Sherman Fairchild Distinguished Scholar at Caltech.
