Mechanism of the Reaction of Xenon Tetraoxide with Hydrogen: A Photochemical Reaction

The dependence of the rate of a photochemical reaction of XeO₄with H₂on the concentrations of H₂and the diluent gases He and CO₂is studied at room temperature. The results are compared with the data for the dark reaction. A mechanism with the elementary energetic branched-chain reaction OH (v) + XeO₄OH + O + XeO₃is proposed to explain the results of the study.     

Méthode de marquage de groupes carboxyliques dans les peptides. Propriétés chromatographiques et autres,de peptide-p,p′-dimapa-anilides

Résumé Les auteurs décrivent une méthode efficate et les conditions (faibles valeurs de pH, milieu dioxane/eau (1∶2), carbodiimide hydrosoluble) de formation de peptides colorés par réaction de leur groupe carboxylique avec un colorant aminé (par exemple: 1(4-diméthylamino-1 phénylazo)-4-aminobenzène=p,p′-dimapa-aniline), sans polymérisation du peptide non-protégé. Quelques méthodes chromatographiques, faciles à mettre en oeuvre, pour l'isolement de peptide-p,p′-dimapa-anilides et quelques propriétés de ces nouveaux composés (peptides-C-colorés) sont présentées.

Method for labelling carboxylic groups in peptides. Chromatographic and other properties of peptide-p,p′-dimapa-anilides

Summary The authors describe an effective method and the conditions (low pH values, dioxane/water (1∶2) media, watersoluble carbodiimide) for making coloured carboxylic peptides from amino-dye (i.e.: 1(4-dimethylamino-1 phenylazo)-4-aminobenzene=p,p′-dimapa-aniline), without polymerisation of unprotected peptide. Some easy chromatographic methods for isolation of peptide-p,p′-dimapa-anilides and some properties of these new compounds (C-dyed-peptides) are given.

Hypotheses sur la formation par pyrolyse du premier intermediaire a silicium digonal

The synthesis of 2,8-dimethyl 3,9-dichloro 6-sila[5.5] spiro undecatetra 2.4,8,10-ene is described. The thermal decomposition of the adduct formed by the reaction of this product with methyl acetylene dicarboxylate is studied. From the characterization of the copyrolysis products, two possible mechanisms are proposed which imply the formation of digonal silicon such as 2-silaallene and 2-silaketene.     

Electrode reaction of zinc ions at a dropping mercury electrode in ammonium sulphate solutions

The electrode reaction of Zn(II) at a DME in aqueous solutions of (NH₄)₂SO₄ has been studied by d.c. and square-wave polarography at 25.0±0.1°C. The electrochemical kinetic parameters for the reaction are determined. The appearance of the second wave in the square-wave polarogram has been attributed to the low values of the rate parameter and the transfer coefficient.
