Accurate fast neutron activation analysis for oxygen in geological materials

Sources of error in the fast neutron activation analysis determination of oxygen have been investigated and minimised. The oxygen contents of eighteen international rock standards and a sulphide ore standard have been determined, and compared with the values calculated by difference using the reported full analyses. Accuracies of 0.3% average deviation and reproducibilities of ±0.2% standard deviation have been obtained, where oxygen contents exceeded 1.0 g.     

Analyse de couches minces de verres chalcogenures par diffusion elastique de protons et mesure de gammas prompts

Résumé Une méthode d'étude de la composition stoéchiométrique de couches minces (10 à 500 μg/cm²) de verres chalcogénures est développée. L'étude des réactions nucléaire; induites par bombardement de protons de basse énergie (<4 MeV) sur les éléments constitutifs Ge, As, Te et S, conduit à choisir la diffusion élastique et la détection de gammas prompts pour le dosage simulatené. La précision et la sensibilité de la méthode sont discutées à partir des résultats obtenus. L'utilisation de la résonance fine sur le soufre (p, p'γ) est appliquée à l'étude de l'homogénéité des cibles.     

Dissociative ionization of methyl-substituted hydroxyquinolines

The mass spectra of the following methyl-substituted hydroxyquinolines have been studied in the range of energies of the ionizing electrons of 15–50 eV: 2-hydroxy-4-methylquinoline, 6-hydroxy-2-methylquinoline, 6-hydroxy-4-methylquinoline, 8-hydroxy-2-methylquinoline, 8-hydroxy-4-methylquinoline, 2,6-dihydroxy-4-methylquinoline, and 4,6-dihydroxy-2-methylquinoline. It has been shown that the processes of dissociative ionization for the series of compounds investigated take place exclusively from the keto forms of the molecular ions. The stability to electron impact is determined largely by the degree of enolization of the structures considered. The values of the selective decomposition are given and a scheme is proposed for the identification of the isomeric methyl-substituted hydroxyquinolines.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 7, pp. 972–978, July, 1973.     

EPR spectra of halogenonitromethane anion radicals

Conclusions It was deduced that fluorine is in a -combined state in the anion radicals we studied; this was based on an analysis of the EPR spectra of a series of fluoronitroalkane anion radicals.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 2, pp. 458–460, February, 1969.In conclusion, the authors express their appreciation to A. A. Fainzil'berg for his interest in our work.     

Über Blei (II)-oxidhydrat der Zusammensetzung 3PbO·H2O

Lead oxide hydrate mentioned in the earlier literature with several formulas between PbO · H₂O and PbO · 0.33 H₂O has been synthesized and investigated by high resolution X-ray powder methods, thermogravimetry and infrared spectroscopy. The unit cell was found from 62 powder reflections to be tetragonal with a = 8.009 ± 0.003 Å, c = 9.312 ± 0.005 Å, Z = 12 [PbO · 0.33 H₂O]. These data were confirmed by WEISSENBERG and Precession photographs of single crystals grown as a corrosion product on metallic lead. The space group is D–P4/mnc or C–P4 nc. Thermogravimetric measurements, corrected for a slight content of superficially bound carbon dioxide detected by infrared spectroscopy, lead to the most probable formula 3 PbO · H₂O or PbO · 0.33 H₂O. As infrared spectra show the presence of a HOH deformation vibration, the compound is considered to be an oxide hydrate and not an oxide hydroxide of lead.
