Analysis of90Sr in environmental and biological samples by extraction chromatography using a crown ether

The use of crown ethers is a simple and rapid method for the separation and determination of strontium in various samples. After sample dissolution oxalate precipitation was carried out to remove K. Chromatographic separation of strontium from most inactive and radioactive interference was done with a crown ether. The chemical recovery was determined gravimetrically. Radiostrontium was then determined by liquid scintillation counting.     

Über Reaktionen von Nitrosophenolen, 3. Mitt.: Reaktion von 2-Nitroso-1-naphthol mit Resorcin und Orcin

Zusammenfassung Die Reaktion von 2-Nitroso-1-naphthol mit Resorcin bzw. Orcin in Äther bei Anwesenheit von HNO₃ liefert Benzo[c]phenoxazon-(9) (I), Benzo[c]phenoxazon-(9)-12-oxid (II), Methyl-benzo[c]phenoxazon-(9) (III) sowie 11-Methyl-benzo[c]phenoxazon-(9)-12-oxid (IV). Die Struktur der isolierten Substanzen wurde durch Reduktion mittels TiCl₃ sowie durch die UV- und IR-Spektren gestützt.

The reaction of 2-nitroso-1-naphthol with resorcinol and orcinol in ether solution in the presence of nitric acid has been studied. From the reaction mixture the benzophenoxazones I–IV have been isolated. Structures were assigned on the grounds of UV and IR spectra and partly by using TiCl₃ as a reducing agent.

Untersuchung der kinetik von azokupplungs-reaktionen mittels direkter injektions-enthalpiemetrie

The present paper deals with the application of direct injection enthalpimetry (DIE) in the study of the kinetics of azo coupling reactions. On the example of the coupling of diazotized aniline-4-sulphonic acid with 1,8-dihydroxynaphthalene-3,6-disulphonic acid, it was verified that the rate constants determined using DIE are comparable with those determined using spectrophotometry. Advantages result from the application of DIE in the study of the kinetics of azo coupling reactions.     

Raman scattering in SnSe

Zone center optical phonons in SnSe were investigated using Raman scattering data obtained here and previously reported far infrared reflectivity measurements. The values of the ratio of the pairs of interlayer force constants were calculated te be between 3·3 and 4·5. Thus it can be concluded that SnS is a layer like semiconductor but less layer like than GeS, GeSe or SnS.     

Zur komplexometrischen Bestimmung des Natriums

Zusammenfassung Bei der Titration von Zink aus dem Niederschlag von Natrium-Zinkuranylacetat wird statt des früher vorgeschlagenen Indikators Eriochromschwarz T der Indikator Dithizon verwendet. Dadurch wird auch bei Titrationen mit 0,001-m Lösungen ein scharfer Umschlag erzielt.

---

Summary Dithizone is used in place of Eriochrome black T previously suggested as indicator in the titration of zinc contained in the precipitate of sodium-zinc-uranyl acetate. A sharper change is thus observed even with 0.001M solutions.

---

Résumé Lors du titrage du zinc dans le précipité d'acétate d'uranyle de zinc et de sodium, les auteurs emploient comme indicateur la dithizone au lieu du Noir Eriochrome T qui avait été précédemment recommandé. Il est ainsi possible d'obtenir un virage très net, même pour des titrages effectués avec des solutions 0,001M.

     

Liquid Chromatography-Electrospray Mass Spectrometry Determination of Ibogaine and 12-Hydroxy-Ibogamine in Human Urine

A specific and sensitive liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization mass spectrometry method was developed for the determination of ibogaine and noribogaine in human urine. The work-up procedure involved a solid phase extraction of the compounds and the internal standard (fluorescein) using Oasis HLB columns. The system used a Zorbax eclipse XDB C8 analytical column packed with 5µm diameter particles as the stationary phase. The mobile phase consisted of a 20-min gradient (mobile phase A: 0.02% (v/v) trimethylamine in acetonitrile, mobile phase B: 2 mM ammonium formate buffer (pH 3)). Mass spectrometric data were acquired in single ion monitoring mode at m/z 311.1, 297.2 and 333 for ibogaine, noribogaine and fluorescein, respectively. The drug/internal standard peak area ratios were linked via a quadratic relationship to concentrations (1.78?358 μg L^?1 for ibogaine; 2?400 μg L^?1 for noribogaine). Precision ranged from 5.8 to 14.8% and accuracy was between 93.2 and 112.9%. Mean extraction recoveries of ibogaine, noribogaine and fluorescein were 70.0, 81.7 and 94.8%, respectively. The extraction efficiency was independent of concentration over the range studied. The lower limits of quantitation were 1.78 μg L^?1 for ibogaine and 2 μg L^?1 for noribogaine. In this paper, extensive stability testing was undertaken using a wide range of storage conditions. This method was found suitable for urine analysis of a poisoning involving ingestion of drink made from powdered root of shrub Tabernanthe iboga.     

New glycidyl ester compounds containing a preformed imide ring—I

The synthesis of the new esterglycidyl compounds produced by condensation of bis-carboxyimides with a large excess of epichlorohydrin were reported. To define the optimal conditions of condensation the process with monofunctional compounds were studied at first. For all synthesis, yield and epoxide and chlorine contents were found. The structure of glycidyl esters was determined by elementary analysis, IR and ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra. The physical properties were also defined.

Monooctyl-α-(4-carboxyanilino)benzylphosphonic acid as a new reagent for extraction and separation of lead(II) and bismuth(III)

Monooctyl--(4-carboxyanilino)benzylphosphonic acid (H₂L) was investigated as a novel reagent for the extraction and separation of lead(II) and bismuth(III) from nitrate solutions. Stoichiometric ionization constants of H₂L in ethanol — water mixtures determined by potentiometric NaOH titration had values pK_a1 2.25 and pK_a2 4.33. Ethanol and chloroform solutions of H₂L followed Beer's law at 300 nm and 296 nm, molar absorptivities being 2.94·10⁴ mol^–1·l·cm^–1 and 2.85·10⁴ mol^–1·l·cm^–1, respectively. HNO₃ and HCl were also extracted into chloroform solutions containing H₂L. Bismuth(III) was quantitatively transferred into the chloroform H₂L solution at pH 1, and lead(II) at 3.5. The value of the separation factor D_Bi/D_Pb is 160 at pH 1.
