Mössbauer studies on one-dimensional iron phthalocyanines

Summary Magnetic moments and⁵⁷Fe Mössbauer spectra at room temperature and at liquid nitrogen temperature of polynuclear ligand-bridged iron phthalocyanines, FePcL (L = pyrazine and 4,4-bipyridyl), are reported. The experimental data are in agreement with a pseudo-octahedral environment around the iron(II) cation. Partially oxidized derivatives, FePc(pz)I_0.26 and FePc(bipy)I_1.06 have been synthesized and their⁵⁷Fe Mössbauer spectra and magnetic moments within the same temperature range obtained. Oxidation is shown to be metal centred and the iodine is found to be in I^– form for FePc(pz)_0.26 and as both I^– and I ₃ ^– species for FePc(bipy)I_1.06. While the magnetic moment of FePc(pz) increases upon oxidation, the opposite occurs for FePc(bipy).     

The determination of molybdenum and tungsten in sea and surface water

A simple method for the determination of molybdenum and tungsten in sea and surface water is presented. Molybdenum and tungsten are concentrated on activated charcoal by adsorption as the ammonium pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate complex; the optimal pH for adsorption is 1.3. Mo and W are then determined by thermal neutron activation, forming ⁹⁹Mo (T_{$\text{1}\text{2}$} = 66.7 h) and ¹³⁷W (T_{$\text{1}\text{2}$} = 23.8 h), respectively. The ^99mTc daughter of ⁹⁹Mo is measured as soon as the equilibrium between ^99mTc(T_{$\text{1}\text{2}$}= 6 h) and ⁹⁹Mo is established. The detection limits are 0.05 μg Mo l^-1 and 0.05 μg W l^-1 (or 0.001 μg W l^-1 after a simple chemical separation).     

Some investigations on the photostabilization of polypropylene

The effect of substituted hydroxybenzophenone, benzotriazole and organic metal complexes on the photooxidation of PP films has been studied. It has been established that NiDBTC added in 1.0 wt. % is the most effective photostabilizer.While in the case of other stabilizers there is a slight increase in the Co content even during the induction period, with the application of NiDBTC practically no oxidation can be observed before the stabilizer completely disappears. This means that NiDBTC inhibits the photooxidation of the polymer even in low concentration.

Full verification of the liquid exclusion-adsorption chromatography theory using monolithic capillary columns

Capillary electrochromatography (CEC) was used to separate alkyl phenol ethoxylates (APEs) as model diblock copolymers, with monolithic polymers as stationary phases. The order of elution indicate that the two polymer blocks follow distinct chromatographic modes: size-exclusion for the poly(oxyethylene) group and adsorption interaction for the alkyl part. Therefore, our experimental results were compared to the theory describing liquid exclusion-adsorption chromatography (LEAC). They were found in perfect agreement with the theory, which turned to be verified for the first time over the full range of polymer lengths.     

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.

     

5,6-dihydroxyindole-2-carboxylic acid by treatment of sepiomelanin with sodium borohydride.

Mild treatment of sepiomelanin and biosynthetic eumelanins with NaBH₄ in 0.1 N NaOH leads to the isolation of 5,6-dihydroxyindole-2-carboxylic acid ($\text{3}$), a component of structural interest which may account for most of the degradation products of melanins so far obtained.
