Chelataustauscher auf Oxinbasis, 2. Mitt.: Zur Theorie der Komplexbildung im Chelataustauscher

Zusammenfassung Durch Messung der Verteilungskoeffizienten wird der Nachweis erbracht, daß Chelataustauscher durch Zusatz von Metalloxinaten, z. B. von Al- und Ba-Oxinat, während der Kondensation der Harze selektiver gemacht werden können. In dieser Arbeit werden die pH-lg _ex-kurven verschiedener Oxinatharze diskutiert. Die Form der Kurven wird aus dem Zusammenwirken von Komplexbildung, Donnan-Verteilung und Austauschvorgängen mit Carboxylgruppen abgeleitet. Die Steigungen der pH-lg _ex-kurven werden als Maß für die mittlere Ligandenzahl verwendet. Die Selektivität der Austauscher wird durch die pH₁₀₀-Werte charakterisiert. Damit wird der Nachweis erbracht, daß die sterische Anordnung des Oxins im Harz für die Selektivität mitverantwortlich ist.

By measuring the distribution coefficients it is shown that the selectivity of chelate resins can be raised by adding metaloxinates of Al and Ba, e.g., during the condensation. The pH-lg _ex-curves of various oxinate resins are discussed in this paper. The shape of the curves is derived from the interaction between complex formation, Donnan-distribution and exchange with carboxylic groups. The slope of the pH-lg _ex-curves is used as measure for the average ligand number. The selectivity of the resins is characterized by the pH₁₀₀ (pH value at _ex=100). From these experiments it follows conclusively, that the steric arrangement of the oxine in the resin is responsible for the selectivity.

New Entrance Optics for Solar Spectral UV Measurements

The investigation of the impact of solar UV radiation on the biosphere requires spectral measurements of solar UV radiation of high accuracy. However, the accuracy of current measurements is limited, and this can partly be attributed to the entrance optics of the instruments used for these examinations. The angular response of spectro-radiometers measuring spectral global UV irradiance should be given by the cosine of the incidence angle. In-tercomparison campaigns have shown that deviations from this ideal cosine response lead to uncertainties in solar measurements of more than 10%. Here we present recently developed entrance optics that reduce these uncertainties to ±4% in the UV. The new entrance optics have been characterized with respect to their angular response, transmission, weather durability, fluorescence and dependence of the angular response on wavelength and polarization. Solar spectroradiometric measurements carried out with the new optics were compared with simultaneously performed measurements of a second spectroradiometer that was equipped with a conventional diffuser. The deviations of up to 12% between both systems are quantitatively explained to within 3%.     

Über die Störung des Morphiumnachweises bei der dünnschicht-chromatographischen Untersuchung von Raucherurinextrakten durch Nicotin

90% of the alkaline extracts contained substances giving positive reaction with iodoplatinate and Dragendorff reagents. One of these could be identified as nicotine. Methods for differentiating beween morphine and nicotine are mentioned and it is pointed to the possibility of erroneous results in the thin-layer chromatographic investigation of urinary extracts of smokers of basic pharmaceuticals.     

Photophysics and redox behavior of chiral transition metal polymers

The absorption and emission spectra, excited-state lifetimes, quantum yields, and electrochemical measurements have been obtained for a new series of chiral complexes based on three different chiral 2,2':6',2' '-terpyridine ligands, (-)-ctpy, (-)-[ctpy-x-ctpy], and (-)-[ctpy-b-ctpy], with one, two, or multiple Ru metal centers. The room-temperature absorption and emission maxima of [[((-)-ctpy)Ru]-(-)-[ctpy-b-ctpy]-[Ru((-)-ctpy)]](PF(6))(4) and ((-)-[ctpy-b-ctpy])-[[Ru((-)-[ctpy-b-ctpy])](PF(6))(2)](n) were shifted to lower energies and also exhibited significantly longer luminescence lifetimes when compared to [Ru((-)-ctpy)(2)](PF(6))(2), [[((-)-ctpy)Ru]-(-)-[ctpy-x-ctpy]-[Ru((-)-ctpy)]](PF(6))(4), and ((-)-[ctpy-x-ctpy])-[[Ru((-)-[ctpy-x-ctpy])](PF(6))(2)](n). In terms of their electrochemical behavior, all of the complexes studied exhibited one Ru-centered and two ligand-centered redox waves and the [[((-)-ctpy)Ru]-(-)-[ctpy-x-ctpy]-[Ru((-)-ctpy)]](PF(6))(4), ((-)-[ctpy-x-ctpy])-[[Ru((-)-[ctpy-x-ctpy])](PF(6))(2)](n), and ((-)-[ctpy-b-ctpy])-[[Ru((-)-[ctpy-b-ctpy])](PF(6))(2)](n)() complexes were found to electrodeposit upon ligand-based reduction. The difference between the formal potentials of the Ru-centered and the first ligand-centered (least negative) waves corresponded linearly with the changes in the observed emission energies. The shifts in energy are discussed using a particle-in-a-box model, and the luminescence lifetimes are discussed in terms of the structure of the excited-state manifold.     

Iodine photodissociation laser system Perun II

A construction and exploitation of a medium size iodine photodissociation laser system Perun II is reported. This laser produced pulses of infrared light (=1.315m) up to 50 J in energy and 300 ps in duration. The diameter of the beam is 82 mm. The beam divergence is about 4×10^–4 rad. The laser beam can be focused in a focal spot of a power density exceeding 10¹⁴ W/cm². The resuls of measurements of basic plasma parameters on an Al foil target are also presented. A recent improvement of the system includes a conversion to the second harmonic by a DKDP crystal.Presented at bilateral international seminar of High Temperature Laser Plasma and High Gain Iodine Lasers held on 4 July 1991 in the Inst. of Physics, Czechosl. Acad. Sci., in Prague (organized by Division of Optics of the Inst. of Physics, Czechosl. Acad. Sci., and Physical Section (Plasma Division) of the Union of Czech Mathematicians and Physicists.     

A note on debye potentials for spherically gyrotropic media

The Debye potentials are generalized to the case of electromagnetic fields in spherically gyrotropic media. A medium is called spherically gyrotropic if it is locally gyrotropic with the distinguished axis having a radial direction determined by a central point. Expressions for electromagnetic fields in terms of the generalized potentials are presented and the system of differential equations for the potentials is derived. The results are summarized in the form of a theorem. Basic facts about the Debye potentials in isotropic media are recalled.     

Efforts to expand the genetic alphabet: identification of a replicable unnatural DNA self-pair

Six unnatural nucleotides featuring fluorine-substituted phenyl nucleobase analogues have been synthesized, incorporated into DNA, and characterized in terms of the structure and replication properties of the self-pairs they form. Each unnatural self-pair is accommodated in B-form DNA without detectable structural perturbation, and all are thermally stable and selective to roughly the same degree. Furthermore, the efficiency of polymerase-mediated mispair synthesis is similar for each unnatural nucleotide in the template. In contrast, the efficiency of polymerase-mediated self-pair extension is highly dependent on the specific fluorine substitution pattern. The most promising unnatural base pair candidate of this series is the 3-fluorobenzene self-pair, which is replicated with reasonable efficiency and selectivity.
