A fully automated mass spectrometer for the analysis of organic solids

Automation of a mass spectrometer—computer system makes it possible to process up to 30 samples without attention after sample loading. An automatic sample changer introduces the samples successively into the ion source by means of a direct inlet probe. A process control unit determines the operation sequence. Computer programs are available for the hardware support, system supervision and evaluation of the spectrometer signals. The most essential precondition for automation — automatic evaporation of the sample material by electronic control of the total ion current — is confirmed to be satisfactory. The system operates routinely overnight in an industrial laboratory, so that day work can be devoted to difficult analytical problems. The cost of routine analyses is halved.     

Zur Reaktion des Germaniums mit Germaniumtetrachlorid und zur Existenz der Oxidchloride GeOCl2 und GeOCl6 im Gleichgewicht

On the Reaction of Germanium with Germanium Tetrachloride and on the Existence of the Oxidechlorides GeOCl₂ and GeOCl₆ at the Equilibrium The above equilibrium was measured in a Gauge-manometer and the enthalpy of formation and the entropy for GeCl₂,g were derived from these results. From total pressure measurements and transport experiments of GeO₂ with GeCl₄ follows, that the oxidechlorides Ge₂OCl₆ and GeOCl₂ are not present in measurable concentrations, that means the enthalpy of formation of GeOCl₂ must be higher than ?327 kJ · mol^?1.     

Über sechsgliedrige Heterocyclen mit Phosphor-, Stickstoff- und Schwefelatomen im Ring

Cyclic sulphurylphosphazochloride (I: formula see ?Inhaltsübersicht”?) reacts with ammonia or methylamine forming the. tetramide(II) and (III), respectively, and with aniline or dimethylamine forming the diamide (IV) resp. (V). The synthesis of the diphenyl derivative (VI) is achieved starting from C₆H₅? PCl₄. (II) gives with PCl₅ the ionic compound (VII).     

Platinum(II) and palladium(II) complexes of bisphosphine ligands bearing o-N,N-dimethylanilinyl substituents: a hint of catalytic olefin hydration

Platinum(II) and palladium(II) complexes of the potentially hexadentate P,N-donor ligand family Ar2P-X-PAr2 (X = (CH2)2 [dmape], cyclic-C5H8 [dmapcp]; Ar = o-N,N-dimethylanilinyl) are described. In CH2Cl2, the dmape complexes exist as equilibrium mixtures of MCl2(P,P'-dmape) and [MCl(P,P',N-dmape)]Cl isomers (M = Pd, Pt), governed by deltaH(o) = -19 +/- 4 kJ mol(-1) and deltaS(o) = -100 +/- 30 J mol(-1) K(-1) for M = Pt, and deltaH(o) = -11 +/- 7 kJ mol(-1) and deltaS(o) = -60 +/- 20 J mol(-1) K(-1) for M = Pd. The water-soluble dmapcp complexes exist solely in the [MCl(P,P',N-dmapcp)]Cl form, but the free and coordinated anilinyl rings in these complexes are in slow diastereoselective exchange. X-ray crystal structures for MCl2(P,P'-dmape) (M = Pd, Pt), and the [PdCl(P,P',N-dmape)]+ and [PtCl(P,P',N-dmapcp)]+ cations, are presented. Some of the complexes show marginal activity in water for the catalyzed hydration of maleic to malic acid, giving about 6-7% conversion in 24 h at 100 degrees C and substrate:catalyst loadings of 100:1. Attempts to synthesize a PdCl(P,P',N-dmapm)+ species led instead to isolation of [Pd(mu-Cl)(P,P'-dmapm)]2[PF6]2 (dmapm = Ar2PCH2Ar2).

Nets and generalized quadrangles

There is a new method of constructing generalized quadrangles (GQs) given by S. Löwe, which is based on covering of nets; all GQs with a regular point can be represented in this way. Here we give a method of constructing GQs with a regular point using the so-called content functions on nets. In the last part of the paper we lay the foundations for a research project aiming to use the more general notion of content to classify GQs and maybe to construct new ones.Both authors acknowledge the financial support by CRUI and DAAD in the frame of Programma Vigoni, which made this work possible.     

On the growth of meromorphic functions of infinite order

Letf be a meromorphic function of infinite order,T(r, f) its Nevanlinna (or Ahlfors-Shimizu) characteristic, andM(r, f) its maximum modulus. It is proved that $$\mathop {\lim \inf }\limits_{r \to \infty } \frac{{\log M(r,f)}}{{rT'(r,f)}} \leqslant \pi and\mathop {\lim \inf }\limits_{r \to \infty } \frac{{\log M(r,f)}}{{T(r,f)\psi (log T(r,f))}} = 0$$ . if ? (x)/x is non-decreasing, ?′(x)<-√?(x) and ∝^∞ dx/?(x) < ∞.     

Fluorodiazadiphosphetidine, 12. Mitt.: Reaktionen von Oktafluoro-1,3,2λ6,4λ6-diazoniadiphosphatetidinen

Reaction of (CH₃NHPF₄)₂ with selected organometallic reagents yields (CH₃NPF₃)₂, while reaction with non-nucleophilic bases such as 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO) or 1,8-Bis(dimethylamino)naphthalin and with alkali fluorides yields ionic compounds with the diazoniadiphosphatetidine ring as a dianion.
