Surface enhanced Raman spectra of benzotriazole adsorbed on a copper electrode

The surface enhanced Raman spectrum of benzotriazole (BTAH) adsorbed on a copper electrode has been studied as a function of the potential applied to the electrode. The effect of pH and of the type of halide in the electrolyte solution has also been investigated. The presence of some complexes involving Cu(I), benzotriazole or benzotriazolate (BTA^-) and the halide has been characterized. The protective film formed on copper surface, in the presence of benzotriazole, has been identified as cuprous benzotriazolate [Cu(I)BTA].     

Membrane structure and its correlation with membrane permeability

Methods for the investigation of pore and molecular structure of synthetic membranes are reviewed. Membranes are classified as coarse-porous, fine-porous, and solution-diffusion membranes, on one hand; and homogeneous, asymmetric, and composite on the other, Pore structure of synthetic membranes can be elucidated in detail only by electron and raster electron microscopic investigations. Inspection of molecular structure requires diversely specific test probes such as low-energy neutron scattering and/or diffraction, and gas sorption and permeability measurements, as well as thermodynamic and thermomechanical analysis. Other methods used to elucidate pore and molecular structure of synthetic membranes are discussed and, concurrently, membrane structure is correlated with membrane permeability.     

Zur Kenntnis der Sulfensäurefluoride CF3SF und CF2ClSF sowie deren Dimeren

The Sulfenic Fluorides CF₃SF and CF₂CISF and their Dimers The reactions of R_fSCl (R_f = CF₃, CF₂Cl) with HgF₂ and AgF give R_fSF and the dimer product R_fSF₂SR_f in high yield and various ratios, in contrast, activated KF leads only to R_fSF in low yield. A complex of transition metal and sulfenic halide as an intermediate step is discussed for the dimerisation. As liquid CF₃SF₂SCF₃ disproportionates into CF₃SF₃ and CF₃SSCF₃ and the hydrolysis of CF₃SF₂SCF₃ gives the stable compound CF₃S(O)SCF₃ · PF₃ reacts with R_fSF as well as with R_fSF₂SR_f to R_fSPF₄. The products of the spontaneous decomposition of CF₂ClSF were investigated. I.r., n.m.r., and mass spectra are reported and discussed. It was possible to carry out vapour pressure measurements of CF₂ClSF.     

Stoffwechselprodukte von Mikroorganismen 6-Chlorgenistein und 6,3′-Dichlorgenistein. 164. Mitteilung

Metabolites from Microorganisms, 6-Chlorogenistein and 6,3′-Dichlorogenistein A strain of Streptomyces griseus produced chlorinated metabolites in media containing soybean meal. Two of these metabolites were isolated together with a chlorine free compound which could be identified as the isoflavone genistein (I) by its spectral properties and by comparison with an authentic sample. By NMR. and mass spectroscopy the chlorinated compounds were shown to be 6-chlorogenistein (II) and 6,3′-dichlorogenistein (III). The 7-glucoside of genistein is a constituent of soybean meal; it is hydrolysed and chlorinated by Streptomyces griseus.     

Anisotropy of the T-T absorption spectra of naphthalene and phenanthrene

The naphthalene absorption in the spectral region of 3500–4100 Å consists of two perpendicularly polarized band systems. This can be shown by polarization measurements. The arguments given do not allow a decision as to whether or not the short axis polarized band is the ³A_g⁻ ← ³B_iu⁺ transition or an induced vibronic band of the ³B_3g⁻ ← ³B_iu⁺ transition generated by a b_3g vibration mode. The T-T polarization of phenanthrene as a function of the excitation wavenumber is quantitatively compared with the equivalent S₁ ← S₀ fluorescence polarization. There is a good agreement between the calculated and the measured curve.

Beitrag zur Stickstoffschnellbestimmung nach Merz

Zusammenfassung Einige Änderungen an der Apparatur zur Stickstoffschnellbestimmung nachMerz wurden vorgenommen. Dadurch wird erreicht, daß zwischen den einzelnen Verbrennungen Sauerstoff das Verbrennungsrohr durchspült und vor dem Reduktionsrohr nach außen tritt. Der Verbrennungsraum ist daher bereits zu Beginn jeder Analyse mit Sauerstoff gefüllt, wodurch günstigere Bedingungen für die schlagartige Verbrennung erzielt werden. Der Umbau der von der Firma Heraeus gelieferten Apparatur und die Herstellung eines Oxydationskatalysators (Kobaltoxid-Wolframoxid) werden beschrieben.

Contribution to the rapid nitrogen determination according to merz

Summary The apparatus for rapid nitrogen determination according toMerz has been modified. Between each two combustions, oxygen is flushed through the combustion tube and is vented before the reduction tube. Therefore, at the beginning of each analysis, the combustion chamber is filled with oxygen, providing a more favorable atmosphere for the rapid ignition. The alterations in the Hereaus apparatus and the preparation of an oxidation catalyst (cobalt oxide and tungsten oxide) are described.

     

Synthesis of phenylated phthalimides. The diels-alder reaction of tetraphenylcyclopentadienone with maleimides

A series of phenylated dihydrophthalimides has been synthesized by the Diels-Alder reaction of tetraphenylcyclopentadienone with maleimide, N-phenylmaleimide, and N,N'-o-, -m-, and -p-phenylenedimaleimide. Subsequent dehydrogenation of these compounds yielded the corresponding phenylated phthalimides. These phthalimides were also obtained in one step when the initial reactions were carried out in refluxing nitrobenzene.
