Fehlerquellen bei Aktivierungsanalysen hochreiner Materialien

Zusammenfassung Aus den Erfahrungen mit Neutronenaktivierungsanalysen von hochreinen Materialien der Elektronik werden die wichtigsten Fehlerquellen und die Möglichkeiten zu deren Vermeidung aufgezeigt. Von den spurenanalytischen Problemen muß vor allem der Probenhomogenität, den Oberflächenverunreinigungen und, bei chemischen Operationen vor der Bestrahlung, auch dem Blindwert erhöhte Aufmerksamkeit gewidmet werden. Hinzu kommen die für Aktivierungsanalysen spezifischen Gefahren der Probenveränderung durch Strahlungsaufheizung und Strahlungsrückstoß, der Ablauf unerwarteter Kernreaktionen bei extrem hohen Neutronenflüssen sowie die für chemische Trennungen störende Bildung heißer Atome. An Hand einiger Beispiele wird die Nützlichkeit der Ortung von Verunreinigungselementen durch autoradiographische Aufnahmen nachgewiesen.Vorgetragen anläßlich des 3. Seminars Aktivierungs-analyse im Kernforschungszentrum Karlsruhe, 30./31.Mai 1972.     

1-Alkoxy-2-azaallenyl-komplexe von chrom und wolfram

The successive reaction of (CO)₆M with Na[NCR₂¹] and [Et₃O]BF₄ yields (CO)₅M[C(NCR₂¹)OEt] (II: M = Cr; III: M = W; CR₂¹ = C(C₆H₄Br-p)₂ (a), CPh₂ (b), C(C₆H₄OMe-p)₂ (c), C(C₆H₄)₂O (d), CBu₂^tt (e)). Hexacarbonyltungsten, (CO)₆W, reacts with Na[NCPh₂] and MeOSO₂F to give (CO)₅W[C(NCPh₂) OMe] (IV). X-Ray analysis of IIe shows that: (1) the CNC fragment is almost linear (171.7°); (2) the two NC bond lengths are equal within experimental error; and (3) the O,C,Cr,N plane is perpendicular to the C(Me₃),C,N,C(Me₃) plane (90.0°). Therefore compounds II–IV are best described as 1-alkoxy-2-azaallenyl complexes.     

Thermal Gradients for the Control of Elution in RP-LC: Application to the Separation of Model Drugs

The use of temperature as a variable in liquid chromatography enables the facile alteration of eluotropic strength without the need to change solvent composition. The ability to change eluotropic strength via temperature alone means that thermal gradients can be used to mimic the effects of solvent gradients but without many of the unwanted effects of changes in solvent composition. Here we illustrate the use of thermal gradients as a means of controlling chromatographic separations using either constant flow or, with the flow rate increased to maintain isobaric conditions, constant pressure, performed using columns packed with 1.7 μm particles. A model is described that can be used to used to predict flow, pressure and temperature under gradient conditions. Practical experimental factors such as the need for post column cooling and the use of frit restrictors in order to obtain optimum results are described.     

Synthesen von Moniliformin,einem Mycotoxin mit Cyclobutendion-Struktur

Syntheses of Moniliformin, a Mycotoxine with a Cyclobutenedione Structure Six different routes to 3-hydroxy-3-cyclobutene-1, 2-dione ( 4 ), the free acid of the mycotoxine Moniliformin (=alkali salt of 4 ) are described. A common feature of all pathways is the synthesis of cyclobutanes having the oxidation level 6. Moniliformin precursors which are easily transformed to 4 by acid catalysed hydrolysis include [2+2]-cycloadducts of ketene with tetraalkoxy-olefins, 3,4,4-trialkoxycyclobutenes, derivatives of polyfluorinated cyclobutenes, the brominated [2+2]-cycloadduct of ethyl vinyl ether and dichloroketene, tetrabromocyclobutanone, [2+2]-photocycloadducts of dichlorovinylenecarbonate with dichloroethylenes, and the dimer of chloroketene. The most convenient synthesis via the [2+2]-cycloadduct of tetraethoxyethylene and ketene ( 14b ) is reported in detail and produces 4 in four simple steps in 57% overall yield. In addition, two new syntheses of squaric acid ( 56 ) are described.     

A correlation study of Li ground state by the MCHF procedure

Results are reported for multiconfiguration Hartree–Fock studies of correlation in the lithium ground state, which maintain orthogonality of orbitals within a configuration. It is shown that when the 1s- and 2s-orbitals are fixed at their Hartree–Fock value, configurations for which Brillouin's theorem holds may be important, particularly for atomic properties other than energy. The Fermi contact term is considered as an example.     

Methodische Hinweise und Fehlerm?glichkeiten bei der Untersuchung membranfiltrierter w?\riger L?sungen

Zusammenfassung Es wird auf eine bisher nicht beachtete Fehlermöglichkeit bei der analytischen Untersuchung und Weiterverwendung von membranfiltrierten Lösungen hingewiesen. Die üblichen Membranfilter enthalten zur Hydrophilisierung bestimmte Mengen anionaktiver Tenside, die sich nur in wechselndem Ausma\e vor dem Gebrauch eluieren lassen. Bei der Untersuchung von membranfiltrierten Flu\-, Grund- und Trinkwasserproben findet man dadurch zu hohe Tensidkonzentrationen und bei der Austestung und Verwendung sterilfiltrierter Wirkstofflösungen u. a. können betrÄchtliche Störungen eintreten. Von Fall zu Fall ist darum eine sorgfÄltige Versuchskontrolle hinsichtlich einer spezifischen Tensidwirkung nötig.

Summary Reference is made to a source of error so far unknown in analytical examinations of aqueous membrane-filtered solutions. Membrane filters usually contain a certain amount of anionic surface-active substances for hydrophilizing purposes. These substances are only partly eliminated before the use of the filter. Therefore, in samples of membrane-filtered river, underground and tap water concentrations are found higher than the actual detergent content. There may also be interferences with the testing of bio-active substances, for instance of antibiotics. Advice is given to control carefully the possible specific effect of surface-active substances during these experiments.

     

Absolute Rate Constants for the Addition of the 1‐(tert‐Butoxy)carbonylethyl Radical onto Cyclic Alkenes in Solution

Absolute rate constants are reported for the addition of the 1‐[(tert‐butoxy)carbonyl]ethyl (= 2‐(1,1‐dimethylethoxy)‐1‐methyl‐2‐oxoethyl) radical ^.CHMeCO₂(t‐Bu) to several cyclic and monosubstituted alkenes in MeCN as obtained by time‐resolved electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR). The activation energies for the addition of this alkyl radical are mainly governed by the addition enthalpy but are also substantially lowered by the ambiphilic effect and by relief of cyclic strain.     

Synthese und Molekülstruktur neuer Ringsysteme aus 1,1,3,3-Tetrachlor-1,3-diphosphapropan

Synthesis and Molecular Structure of new Ring Systems from 1,1,3,3-Tetrachloro-1,3-diphosphapropane 1,1,3,3-Tetrachloro-1,3-diphosphapropane 1 reacts in two different ways to form new heterocycles. Partial oxidation of 1 with tetrachloroorthobenzoquinone furnishes the methylene-bridged λ³P, λ⁵P species 3 . Subsequent reactions with di- and triethylamine lead to the condensed ring system 6 with the P?C bonds connected to a central four-membered ring. Compound 6 displays crystallographic inversion symmetry, a short transannular P? P distance and an extremely distorted tetrahedral coordination geometry at the four-membered ring phosphorus atoms. 1 reacts with 7 to give the heterocycle 8 with a central eight-membered ring involving four phosphorus atoms. The eight – membered ring shows a ?bent”? crown conformation, the condensed five – membered rings display envelope conformation.     

The solid-phase Nicholas reaction: scope and limitations

Two libraries of alpha-substituted alkynes has been prepared on solid phase using a sequential Sonogashira/Nicholas reaction approach. The scope of nucleophiles in the Nicholas reaction on solid phase has been investigated, including carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, fluoride, and hydride nucleophiles. The conditions for the reaction sequence have been optimized in terms of Lewis acid, catalyst for the Sonogashira step, temperature, reaction time, and decomplexation method, enabling the five-step sequence to be performed in 1 day.     

Fragmentation of 1-aryl-5-(2-dialkylaminovinyl)-1H-tetrazoles upon electron impact

The mass spectrometric behaviour of 1-aryl-5-(2-dialkylaminovinyI)-lH-tetrazoles was studied, especially 1-phenyl-5-(2-dimethylaminovinyl)-l H-tetrazole as a typical example of D- and ¹⁵N-labelled derivatives revealed a rearrangement via a carbodiimide-like intermediate ion.
