Conformational analysis 29: Preparation and1H and13C NMR,FTIR, MS,and crystallographic conformational and configurational study of 3-Oxo-1,3-oxathiane and its monomethyl derivatives

3-Oxo-1,3-oxathiane (1) and its monomethyl derivatives were prepared by oxidation of the corresponding 1,3-oxathianes. The structural analysis was carried out by¹H and¹³C NMR, FTIR, and mass spectrometry. At 298 K compound1 was a 1 1 (at 173 K a 3 1) mixture of the SO(ax) and SO(eq) chair forms. The major oxidation products of methyl 1,3-oxathianes attained exclusively the SO(ax), Me(eq) chair forms except that of the 5-methyl derivative, which consisted of 7% of the SO(eq), Me(ax) chair conformation in CDCl₃ solution. The minor products of oxidation existed in anancomeric SO(eq), Me(eq) chair conformations. The oxidation of 2-methyl- 1,3-oxathiane, however, led to 3,3-dioxo derivative (6) in addition to thetrans [SO(eq)] monoxide. The crystal structures of6 andtrans-3-oxo-5-methyl-1,3-oxathiane were solved by X-ray diffractometry.     

Eigenmobilities in background electrolytes for capillary zone electrophoresis: III. Linear theory of electromigration

A mathematical model of capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) based on the conception of eigenmobilities, which are the eigenvalues of a matrix M tied to the linearized governing equations is presented. The model considers CZE systems, where constituents, either analytes or components of the background electrolyte (BGE), are weak electrolytes--acids, bases, or ampholytes. There is no restriction on the number of components nor on the valence of the constituents nor on pH of the BGE. An electrophoretic system with N constituents has N eigenmobilities. In most BGEs one or two eigenmobilities are very close to zero so their corresponding eigenzones move very slowly. However, there are BGEs where no eigenmobility is close to zero. The mathematical model further provides: the transfer ratio, the molar conductivity detection response, and the relative velocity slope. This allows the assessment of the indirect detection, conductivity detection and peak broadening (distortion) due to electromigration dispersion. Also, we present a spectral decomposition of the matrix M to matrices allowing the assessment of the amplitudes of system eigenpeaks (system peaks). Our model predicted the existence of BGEs having no stationary injection zone (or water zone, gap, peak, dip). A common practice of using the injection zone as a marker of the electroosmotic flow must fail in such electrolytes.     

Pfropfcopolymerisation von Cellulose mit zwei Vinylmonomeren

Zusammenfassung Die vorliegende Arbeit stellt eine Beschreibung von Experimenten dar, die die Erhöhung der Pfropfbereitschaft von trägen Komponenten durch Beimischung von aktiveren zum Ziele hatten.Das Trägermolekül war in allen Fällen Cellulose in Form von hochgradig gereinigtem Zellstoff. Durch die Verwendung von Mischsystemen aus Styrol und Methylmethacrylat gelang es, das trägere Styrol in bedeutend größerer Menge auf die Cellulose aufzupfropfen, als es bei Abwesenheit des aktiven Methylmethacrylats der Fall war.

Grafting Polymerization of Cellulose with Two Vinyl Monomers

This paper describes experiments to increase the grafting of cellulose with components of poor reactivity by mixing them with highly reactive ones. A highly purified wood pulp was used as backbone. Using combinations of styrene and methyl methacrylate it was possible to graft considerably higher amounts of the poorly reacting styrene than in the absence of the highly reactive methyl methacrylate.

Data management in multi-method surface analysis

The solution of the problem of interchangeability of surface analytical data is gaining increasing importance in multi-method surface analysis. There are various surface analytical instruments in different laboratories on several automation levels. For these instruments, which are controlled by computer systems working with proprietary software under various operating systems, a standardised data format is necessary to allow an exchange of data. Therefore, a toolkit has been developed for the transfer, archiving and editing of surface analytical data in a standardised public domain format. This format contains all available and necessary information on experimental conditions and all parameters specific for a number of analytical techniques such as AES, SAM, XPS, SIMS, STM, AFM and EPMA. Additionally, all data concerning the conditions of sample-preparation and measurement history are included in order to allow a well-founded evaluation of the data and improved reproducibility of the experiment.     

Two-proton correlations in the target fragmentation region of nuclear collisions at 200A GeV

Correlations between protons are studied in the target fragmentation region of reactions of protons and¹⁶O with C, Cu, Ag, Au and of³²S with Al and Au at 200A GeV. The emitted protons were measured with the Plastic Ball detector in the WA80 experiment at the CERN SPS. The comparison of the correlation function with calculations, assuming a spherical, gaussian shaped source with a lifetime τ=0 fm/c, allows the extraction of radius parameters. The values are very close to those expected from the geometry of the target nuclei and increase with the target mass as αA _Target ^1/3 . Even in proton induced reactions the whole target nucleus is involved. The dependence of the radii on centrality, polar angleθ _lab, and energy, and their relation to measured proton yields are presented.
