Energy dependence of SF6 dissociation by pulsed CO2 laser radiation

The fractional dissociation,³²Γ, of ³²SF₆ by the output of a pulsed TEA CO₂ laser has been found to depend upon Φ, the total integrated laser intensity, as ³²Γ ∞ Φ^m for both the P(20) and P(16) laser lines, where m ≈ 3 in the range 2 < Φ < 7.2 J/cm² and increases from 3 to ≈ 4 as Φ is reduced from 2 to 0.9 J/cm².     

Intramolecular "Aryl-metal chelate ring" pi,pi-interactions as structural evidence for metalloaromaticity in (aromatic alpha,alpha'-diimine)-copper(II) chelates: molecular and crystal structure of aqua(1,10-phenanthroline)(2-benzylmalonato)copper(II) three-hydrate

By reaction of Cu(2)CO(3)(OH)(2), 2-benzylmalonic acid (H(2)Bzmal), and 1,10-phenanthroline (phen), [Cu(Bzmal)(phen)(H(2)O)] x 3H(2)O (compound 1) has been obtained and characterized by thermal, spectral, magnetic, and X-ray diffraction methods. The molecular structure of 1 is remarkably similar to that of [Cu(Bzmal)(bipy)(H(2)O)] x 2H(2)O (compound 2, bipy = 2,2'-bipyridine). In both complexes, the aryl(Bzmal) ring produces an unexpected pi,pi-stacking interaction with the Cu(II)-(aromatic alpha,alpha'-diimine) chelate ring, at an average distance d(pi)(-)(pi) of 3.40 A, involving roughly parallel and smoothly slipped rings. This insight is discussed as new structural evidence for metalloaromaticity of Cu(II)-(aromatic alpha,alpha'-diimine) chelate rings. Interestingly, 1 recognizes itself by a weak intermolecular pi,pi-stacking interaction between aryl(Bzmal) ligands to give pairs of complex molecules. In contrast, there is an intermolecular pyridyl-pyridyl pi,pi-stacking interaction also forming pairs of complex molecules in 2.     

Synthesen von Heterocyclen, 45. Mitt.: Über eine Synthese von substituierten Barbitursäuren

Zusammenfassung Kürzlich wurde in einer Publikation vonA. K. Bose undS. Garratt über eine neue Synthese von substituierten Barbitursäuren aus Malonsäuren und substituierten Malonsäuren mit Carbodiimiden berichtet. Hierdurch sehen wir uns veranlaßt, über unsere bisherigen Ergebnisse im Rahmen ähnlicher Untersuchungen kurz zu berichten.     

pH-metric studies on some ternary complexes of lanthanones

Stepwise mixed ligand complex formation has been cited for the formation of 111,Ln(III)—NTA—catechol ternary complexes potentiometrically [whereLn(III)=La(III), Pr(III) or Nd(III)]. The results of titration curves indicate the formation of 11,Ln(III)—NTA complexes in beginning and the addition of catechol, takes place later on in the higher buffer region. The relative stability of these ternary complexes in terms of metal ion has been reported as La(III)< 相似文献   

Biogenic substances in sediments and fossils

Most sedimentary rocks contain small concentrations of finely divided organic material. With the aid of modern analytical methods, samples of such rocks can be examined in detail, and conclusions can be drawn concerning the origin of the organic substances. Intact or modified biogenic compounds such as paraffins, isoprenoids, alcohols, ketones, carboxylic acids, steroids, triterpenes, and porphyrins have been isolated from the soluble fractions of the organic material of many sediments and from identified fossils of various geological ages. Even Precambrian rocks contain biogenic substances, so that life forms must have existed more than three billion years ago. The main component of the organic material is “kerogen”, the complicated polymeric structure of which has not yet been established.     

Viscous flow and structure of linear polymers

The viscosity of linear polymers obeys the logarithmic additivity rule. This is associated with the fact that the activation energy of the viscous flow within certain limits of parameters changes does not depend on temperature, stress, molecular weight, and content of active filler. The mechanism of viscous flow of linear polymers is associated with the reversible destruction of an unstable supramolecular structure typical of the polymers in the state of viscous flow. The effect of shear stress on the viscosity of linear polymers does not obey the Eyring equation. It is supposed that the effect of shear stress on viscosity is associated with the peculiar mechanism of the destruction of the supramolecular structure. At higher rates of viscous flow of the polymer, the activation energy can decrease as a result of the deep destruction of the supramolecular structure. This is a reversible process, as after removal of stress the supramolecular structure slowly reverts to its original state.

Quantitative structure-property relationship: XXVII. Estimation of the free energy of formation of host-guest complexes of α-cyclodextrin with benzene derivatives

A structure-property relationship was used to estimate the free energy of formation of host-guest complexes of α-cyclodextrin with monosubstituted benzene and phenol derivatives and with symmetrical 1,4-disubstituted benzene derivatives, in which various nonvalent interactions (hydrophobic, van der Waals, donor-acceptor) play a significant role. The calculated values are well consistent with the experiment.     

Optimization of simulated moving bed plants with low efficient stationary phases: separation of fructose and glucose

An optimization procedure for simulated moving bed (SMB) plants with low efficient stationary phases is presented. The new aspect is that the desorbent consumption can be cut by 70% by running the plant with lower internal liquid flows and a corresponding larger switch time while the productivity is kept constant. This concept was validated by the separation of fructose and glucose in water on a calcium resin with an eight-column SMB plant. The separation can be predicted well by a true moving bed (TMB) and a simulated moving bed simulation. Adsorption isotherms were determined up to 300 kg/m3 for glucose and 500 kg/m3 for fructose from 25 to 80 degrees C. Experimental SMB runs were performed over a wide range of feed concentrations (10-350 kg/m3) and temperatures (25-80 degrees C). The strong influence of the delay volume is pointed out. For an experimental run with high feed concentration a complete set of data is presented. To reduce biological growth separation at 80 degrees C is recommended.
