Polarographic separation of cobalt from nickel

Summary The polarographic behaviour of nickel and cobalt in the mixed base electrolytes, urea-pyridine and urea-hydrazine has been studied. The effect of p_H, concentration of supporting electrolyte and the presence of various other ions was investigated. Well defined polarograms for both the elements were obtained at p_H 6.0 and 5.0 respectively. Attempts were made to utilize these observations in the separation of the two cations. While the difference in E _1/2 of the ions in urea-pyridine was greater than –0.3 volts that in urea-hydrazine was about –0.2 volts or slightly less even under the optimum conditions. In a mixed solution the waves for Co and Ni were therefore well developed and separated in the former base electrolyte. The polarograms in urea-hydrazine were, however, of little analytical use because of the washing away of the Ni wave due to the presence of even small amounts of cobalt.

Zusammenfassung Das polarographische Verhalten von Nickel und Kobalt in Harnstoff-Pyridin- und Harnstoff-Hydrazinlösung wurde untersucht und der Einfluß des p_H-Wertes, der Leitsalzkonzentration sowie der Gegenwart verschiedener anderer Ionen festgestellt. Bei p_H 6,0 bzw. 5,0 wurden für beide Elemente gut ausgebildete Polarogramme erhalten. Es wurde versucht, die erhaltenen Ergebnisse zur Trennung der beiden Ionen zu benutzen. In Harnstoff-Pyridinlösung beträgt der Unterschied der beiden Halbstufenpotentiale mehr als –0,3 V und man erhält gut ausgebildete und voneinander getrennte Stufen. In Harnstoff-Hydrazinlösung dagegen beträgt der Unterschied nur –0,2 V oder etwas weniger, selbst unter optimaler Bedingungen, und die Ni-Stufe wird schon durch kleine Kobaltmengen beeinträchtigt.

     

Relaxation of the optical Kerr effect of anisotropic molecules in mixed liquids

The relaxation time of the Kerr effect of nitrobenzene and m-nitrotoluene in various mixtures with carbon tetrachloride and various alcohols was determined by measuring the kinetics of the Kerr effect using picosecond laser techniques. These measurements yield information on the rotational motion of molecules in liquids. The relaxation time data are interpreted in terms of an effective local viscosity effect, pair correlation, and coupling of rotational motion with shear modes.     

Purification of radiozirconium and the influence of accumulation of daughter radioactivity on the accuracy of its distribution measurements

The use of nuclide⁹⁵Zr as radiotracer is often unfavourably influenced by the continuous accumulation of the radioactive daughter nuclide⁹⁵Nb. The present paper gives a method showing how the daughter radioactivity can influence the value of the distribution coefficient of zirconium calculated from radioactivity measurements. A simple method of continuous purification of⁹⁵Zr, which yields a product of the required degree of purity, is also described.     

Etude de la Fragmentation de Derives Substitues Polycycliques du Benzodioxinne-1,4

The mass spectra of five polycyclic 1,4 benzodioxin derivatives have been studied. The breakdown patterns of the more important ions have been suggested by comparison with three compounds in a deuterated specific position. Some rearrangements are produced by specific hydrogen migration and a few others after scrambling.     

Conformations of luteoskyrin and rugulosin in solution

The pigments Luteoskyrin (Ls) and Rugulosin (Rg) might adopt a priori two extreme conformations, a planar and an angular one. To determine the predominant conformation in solution, the nature of the lowest energy transition of the chromophores and the presence of intramolecular H-bonding have been investigated. The solvent effects on electronic absorption and CD spectra indicated the π-π* nature of the lowest energy transition. Treatments of the electronic absorption results according to McRae and Kosower relations, IR absorption and PMR spectra suggested the presence of strong intra-molecular H-bonds. From these results it was concluded that Ls and Rg adopted in a variety of solvents the most planar conformation.

A complexometric titration of inorganic sulphate in synthetic detergents

An accurate method for the determination of inorganic sulphate in synthetic detergents has been developed. After addition of a cationic surface-active agent (cetyl pyridinium chloride) to an anionic detergent, sulphate can be determined by means of indirect titration with EDTA, using a mixture of Metalphthalein and Naphthol Green B as indicator.     

Spectral study of the conversion of porphyrins during interaction with molecular negative ions

In the interaction of ethioporphyrin and of several of its metal derivatives with negative ions of pyridine and anthracene in tetrahydrofuran solutions, an electron transfer takes place which results in the conversion of the pyridine and anthracene ions into neutral molecules, whereas the molecules of the pigment are first transformed into monovalent anions and subsequently into the di-, tri-, tetra-, and sometimes even into the hexavalent anions. In the first stage of this interaction, ferriethioporphyrin is reduced to ferro-ethioporphyrin, whereas the unmetallized pigment and its copper complex are transformed into the disodium derivative of ethioporphyrin. When the temperature is lowered, the rate of the electron transfer from pyridine ions to zinc-ethioporphyrin is decreased, and illumination leads to a substantial rate increase. The photochemical sensitivity of this system is possibly linked to the formation of stable complexes between pigment molecules and pyridine ions.
