The ionic product of water in concentrated tetramethylammonium chloride solutions

The ionic product of water, pK(w) = - log[H(+)][OH(-)] has been determined in aqueous solutions of tetramethylammonium chloride over the concentration range of 0.1-5.5 M at 25 degrees C using high-precision glass electrode potentiometric titrations. pK(w) data relating to aqueous potassium and sodium chlorides at ionic strengths up to 5 M are markedly lower than the tetramethylammonium chloride results. These differences are almost certainly due to weak associations between potassium and (especially) sodium and hydroxide ions.     

Nachweis von Oxoverbindungen. IV

Zusammenfassung Enolisierende Oxoverbindungen, die eine - CH₂-CO- oder eine- CO-NH-NH-Gruppe enthalten, geben mit Diazoniumsalz eine Farbreaktion. Formaldehyd, Benzaldehyd, Nitrobenzaldehyde, Benzoin, Benzophenon usw. reagieren dabei nicht. 1,3-Diketone geben mit diazotiertem p-Nitroanilin zweierlei Färbungen, bei geringer Diazoniumsalzkonzentration eine rote, bei großem Überschuß eine blaue oder grüne Färbung. Die Reaktionsgeschwindigkeit ändert sich auch nach der Art des Diazoniumsalzes. Mit dieser Methode wurden selektive Nachweise für Oxoverbindungen ausgearbeitet. Acetonspuren können in Äthanol bzw. in Wasser oder in Methyläthylketon mit diazotiertem Anilin, 10^–3 % Acetessigsäureäthylester in Äthylacetat mit diazotiertem p-Phenetidin, 10^–5 % Acetylaceton in Aceton mit diazotiertem p-Nitroanilin, außerdem Acetaldehyd neben Formaldehyd, Acetylphenylhydrazin neben Acetanilid, mbzw. o- neben p-Nitroanilin nachgewiesen werden. Nach dem Absorptionsspektrum erwies sich das Reaktionsprodukt von Aceton mit diazotiertem p-Nitroanilin als eine Azoverbindung.

Detection of Oxocompounds. IV

Summary Enolizing oxo-compounds, that contain a -CH₂-CO- or a -CO-NH-NH-group, yield a color reaction with diazonium salt. Formaldehyde, benzaldehyde, nitrobenzaldehyde, benzoin, benzophenone etc. however do not show this reaction. 1,3-diketones yield two kinds of color reactions with diazotizedp-nitraniline; a slight diazonium salt concentration yields a red coloration, while a large excess gives a blue or green coloration. Selective detections for oxo-compounds were developed with this method. Traces of acetone may be detected in ethanol or water or in methylethyl ketone by means of diazotized aniline, 10^–3% of acetoacetic ester can be detected in ethyl acetate by means of diazotizedp-phenetidine, 10^–5% acetylacetone in aldehyde, acetylphenylhydrazine in the presence of acetanilide,m- oro- in the presence ofp-nitraniline. Judging from the absorption spectrum, the reaction product from acetone and diazotizedp-nitraniline is an azo compound.

     

Eine neue Endpunktindikation der Diazotitration

Zusammenfassung Eine Endpunktindikation bei der Diazotitration primärer aromatischer Amine, die nicht auf Oxydation, sondern auf der Diazotierungswirkung des Natriumnitrits beruht, wird beschrieben. Der Indicator ist ein Azofarbstoff, der eine diazotierbare primäre Aminogruppe enthält und in saurem Medium auch in sehr niedriger Konzentration eine intensive Earbe hat. Im Äquivalenzpunkt wird durch einen Tropfen der zu prüfenden Lösung die Indicatorlösung entfärbt. Als Indicator dient 4-(2-Äthyl-phenylazo)-1-naphthylamin-hydrochlorid.

Summary A new end-point indication for the diazo titration of primary aromatic amines has been proposed. It is not based on oxidation, but on the diazotising effect of sodium nitrite. The indicator is an azo dye containing a primary amine group and having an intense colour in acid solution, also in very small concentrations. The end-point is determined by bringing a drop of the test solution containing sodium nitrite into contact with the dye solution and is recognised by the diseappearing of the colour. The indicator dye applied is 4-(2-ethyl-phenylazo)-1-naphthylamino hydrochloride.

     

Nachweis von Peroxiden,Hydroperoxiden und Persäuren

Zusammenfassung Die Indikatorbase 4-Methoxyphenylazo--naphthylamin wird von p-Nitrobenzoylperoxid in neutralem oder saurem Medium ohne, von p-Nitrobenzopersäure unter Erwärmen oxydiert, gar nicht aber von p-Nitroäthylbenzol--hydroperoxid. Auf der Grundlage dieses Verhaltens können die drei Verbindungen unterschieden und p-Nitrobenzoylperoxid nachgewiesen werden. Die Indikatorsäure 4-Nitrophenylazo-2-amino-5-nitrobenzol wird von p-Nitroäthylbenzol--hydroperoxid oxydiert, nicht aber von p-Nitrobenzoylperoxid und p-Nitrobenzopersäure. Mit dieser Farbreaktion kann p-Nitroäthylbenzol--hydroperoxid nachgewiesen werden. p-Nitrobenzopersäure kann neben p-Nitroäthylbenzolhydroperoxid mit einer Farbreaktion von p- + m-Phenylendiamin nachgewiesen werden. Auch p-Nitrobenzoylperoxid gibt die Reaktion, aber p-Nitroäthylbenzol--hydroperoxid setzt sich nicht um.

Detection of peroxides, hydroperoxides, and peracids

Summary The indicator base 4-methoxyphenylazo--naphthylamine is oxidized in neutral medium without warming byp-nitrobenzoyl peroxide, and byp-nitrobenzoperacid with warming, but it is not oxidized at all byp-nitroethylbenzene--hydroperoxide. The three compounds may be differentiated on the basis of these behaviors and furthermore it is thus possible to detect and identifyp-nitrobenzoyl peroxide. The indicator acid 4-nitrophenylazo-2-amino-5-nitrobenzene is oxidized byp-nitroethylbenzene--hydroperoxide but not byp-nitrobenzoyl peroxide andp-nitrobenzoperacid.p-Nitroethylbenzene--hydroperoxide may be detected through this color reaction.p-Nitrobenzoperacid can be detected in the presence ofp-nitroethylbenzene--hydroperoxide by a color reaction withp + m-phenylenediamine but no reaction is given byp-nitroethylbenzene--hydroperoxide.

Thermal behaviourof complexes of antipyrine derivatives Part III.

The thermal behaviour of the mixed-ligand complexes of cobalt(II) and copper(I) ions with antipyrine derivatives of 1,2-ethanediamine or piperazine (BAMP and TAMEN), with water and with 2-mercapto-benzothiazole (Hmbt) was investigated. The complexes contain 2-mercaptobenzothiazole (Hmbt, in the case of cobalt(II) ion) or dimercaptobenzothiazine (mbt–mbt, in the case of copper(I) ion) molecules as ligands and perchlorate (ClO₄^–) or thiocyanate (SCN – ) ion as counterion. By heating, water and ligands release the solid phase at lower temperature. At higher temperatures process of different organic reactions of ligands (e.g. polymerization, polycondensation) could be suggested to interpret the relative high final mass values.     

Study of transport processes in plants by radioabsorption and microradiographic methods

The passive transport processes in plants of²²Na⁺,¹³⁷Cs⁺,⁴⁵Ca²⁺,⁶⁵Zn²⁺,⁵⁹Fe³⁺ and³²PO ₄ ³⁻ ions and the plant-protecting agent “Saphidon (¹⁴C)” were studied by a radioabsorption method. The parameters of the passive transport processes of²¹²Pb²⁺, borate and tetraborate ions in plants were measured by quantitative microradiographic methods, using photoemulsion and solid state nuclear track detectors. Ion diffusion concentration profiles within the plants were determined at various diffusion times and temperatures. The equation of linear diffusion combined with convection was used to determine the diffusion coefficients characteristic of the transport processes.     

Colour pigments of Trichoderma harzianum. Preliminary investigations with thin-layer chromatography-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and high-performance liquid chromatography with diode array and mass spectrometric detection

The colour pigments of Trichoderma harzianum fermentation broth were separated and the main fractions were tentatively identified by reversed-phase thin-layer chromatography-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (RP-TLC-FT-IR), RP-HPLC-diode array detection and RP-HPLC-MS. It was established that the multistep gradient elution developed for RP-TLC separation of pigments can be successfully used as a pilot method for the rational design of gradient elution in RP-HPLC for the separation of the same pigments. FT-IR and MS measurements were unable to identify the exact chemical structures of the main pigment fractions, the presence of OH, =CH and C=O (RP-TLC-FT-IR) and OH and NH, substructures (RP-HPLC-MS) was confirmed. It was assumed that the main pigment fractions are oxidation polymers originating from monomer molecules containing polar substructures and double bonds in the alkyl chain which are liable for oxidation during the aerobic fermentation process.     

Phase separation and disorder in half metallic ferromagnetic manganite thin films: A theoretical study looking forward low noise nano-devices

The resistivity of thin La_0.7Sr_0.3MnO₃ films was first investigated in a wide temperature (T) range (10–750 K). Films grown by different techniques and on several substrates enabled to analyze samples with different amounts of disorder. The aim of this work was to elucidate the nature of the metal–insulator (M–I) transition occurring at T = T_p in these films and its relation with the different kinds of inhomogeneities they could present like intrinsic electric disorder and co-existence of two different electrical and/or magnetic phases. The low-temperature resistivity state was described mostly by a law which scales as T with  ≈ 2.5. This supports the theoretical proposal of single magnon scattering in presence of minority spin states localized by the disorder. In the whole range of temperatures the experimental data are found to be consistent with a phase separation (PS) scenario. In order to go through the origin of the characteristic length scale of inhomogeneity found, preliminarily low frequency noise measurements as a function of T in a range of temperature around the M–I transition were made. The samples used were patterned using photolithography into bridges with various widths and lengths. No clear sign of separation phase dynamic has been observed in our noise measurements. Unexpectedly the normalized Hooge parameter _H/n was found not to be volume (Ω) independent. The LSMO electrical properties may strongly be driven by disorder and new design for magnetoresistance sensors may have to take into account their intrinsic PS.
