Porphyrin acids

The structural change from the porphyrin free base to monoacid and diacid by successive protonation has been studied by the IR, visible and NMR spectroscopy. The results have indicated that the cation and anion of the porphyrin diacid are strongly associated through H-bonding. The far IR spectra show especially marked differences in the free base, monoacid, and diacid due to the changes of the inner core of the porphyrin ring.     

Untersuchungen zur 3-Phononenabsorption in partiell kristallinen Polymeren

Zusammenfassung In dieser Arbeit wird die Dreiphononenabsorption in Polymeren, die den Hauptanteil an den dielektrischen Verlusten im Millimeterwellengebiet stellt, theoretisch und experimentell untersucht. Aus der Störungsrechnung bis zur 2. Ordnung wird die Temperaturabhängigkeit der Absorption abgeschätzt. Damit ist eine befriedigende Deutung des gesamten Temperaturverlaufs der dielektrischen Verlust-Kurven möglich. Im Hochtemperaturbereich läßt sich die Mehrphononenabsorption eindeutig gegenüber restlichen Relaxationsprozessen abgrenzen. Im Tieftemperaturgebiet konnte erstmals auch für das Millimeterwellengebiet ein temperaturunabhängiger Bestandteil fehlordnungsinduzierter Einphononenabsorption nachgewiesen werden. Im Übergangsbereich durchlaufen die Absorptionskurven einen Wendepunkt bei einer charakteristischen TemperaturT ₀, die dem Schwerpunkt der am Absorptionsprozeß beteiligten Phononenfrequenzen entspricht. Daraus konnten in Übereinstimmung mit dem Experiment die Frequenzen der niedrigsten optisch aktiven Phononen für die verschiedenen Polymeren abgeschätzt werden.

Summary The 3-phonon absorption in polymers, which gives the main contribution to their dielectric loss in the microwave region, is theoretically and experimentally investigated. Perturbation theory up to the second order is used for the evaluation of its temperature dependence. The theoretical results allow an interpretation of the total absorption-temperature-curves: In the high temperature region 3-phonon absorption can be distinguished from residual relaxation losses (above the glass temperature). In the low temperature region the existence of a low frequency tail of temperature independent disorderinduced one-phonon absorption became evident. At intermediate temperatures (50–150°K) the curves show an inflexion point or plateau at a characteristic temperatureT ₀, which according toT ₀= ⁰, corresponds to the frequencies of those phonons, that mainly contribute to the multiphonon absorption. The plateau gives, in good agreement with the experiment, the frequencies of the lowest optically active phonons in the various polymers.

Thermodynamische Untersuchungen zur Chelatbildung zwischen Aminoterephthalsäure-N,N-diessigsäure und 3 d- bzw. Erdalkalimetallionen. Eine Betrachtung zum Einfluß einer koordinativ inaktiven Carboxylgruppe auf die komplexe Bindung von Metallionen durch Aminopolycarbonsäuren

N-(2-Carboxyphenyl)iminodiacetic acid (H₃A) and N-(2,5-dicarboxyphenyl)iminodiacetic acid (H₄B) are tetradentate ligands and form complexes of the composition MA- and MB^2? with M^II ions. These compounds differ by the additional charge of the second carboxylic group only, which is fixed to the benzene nucleus and which is unable for coordination for steric reasons. Using an anisothermal calorimeter ΔH values for the formation of the complexes MA- and MB^2? in aqueous solution have been measured at an ionic strength 0.1 m KNO₃. From these data, and from the stability constants of the complexes, entropy changes ΔS have been calculated. In all cases investigated (M^m+ = H⁺, Mg²⁺, Ca²⁺, Sr²⁺, Co²⁺, Ni²⁺, Cu²⁺, Zn²⁺) the ΔH values are more negative for the complexes MA^m-3 than for complexes MB^m-4, whereas the ΔS values are greater for complexes MB^m-4. Using a simple model for the molecules of the complexes MB^m-4 and empirically determined dielectric constants of the medium between the central ions and the noncoordinated ionized carboxylic group, the electrostatic attraction between these charges was calculated. Basing on these results the influence of the noncoordinated carboxylic group on the central atom by the mesomeric and inductive effect is discussed.

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of the [Re2(CH3COO)2Cl4((CH3)2NCOCH3)2] Complex

Compound [Re₂(CH₃COO)₂Cl₄((CH₃)₂NCOCH₃)₂] is synthesized. The influence of parameters of the hydrothermal synthesis under elevated pressure on the yield of a target product and its molecular structure and physicochemical properties is studied. In the neutral complex with cis-arrangement of the bridging acetate and terminal chloride ligands with respect to the multiply bonded Re₂ ⁶⁺ complex-forming center, the Re–Re bond length is 2.2418(3) Å. Dimethylacetamide molecules are in the axial positions, the Re–O bond lengths being 2.304(3) and 2.321(4) Å. The influence of the donor ability of the axial substituents in analogous structures of the rhenium(III) binuclear clusters on the Re–Re and Re–L_ax bond lengths is analyzed.     

High-performance liquid chromatography of in vitro synthesized poly(ADP-ribose) on ion-exchange columns, separation of oligomers of varying chain length and estimation of apparent branching

Separated macromolecular fractions of in vitro synthesized poly(ADP-ribose) by liver nuclei were subjected to ion-exchange chromatography in a programmed high-performance liquid chromatographic elution system. The effects of ionic strength, pH and temperature on the separation of poly(ADP-ribose) chains were determined. Short chain oligomers (up to n = 11) were fractionated into individual components by baseline separation. Each fraction was analyzed for chain length. Trace amounts of Ado(P)Rib(P)Rib(P) found in phosphodiesterase digests were taken as indication of apparent branching. In phosphodiesterase digests of the shorter oligomers, besides traces of the above component, two other digestion products were also observed, presumably representing oligomer termini, one terminal fragment being dominant in short oligomers. Medium and long chain oligomers were partly resolved to individual components, and especially the long oligomers exhibited marked temperature dependent elution patterns. Apparent branching increased with increasing chain length up to about 3% for n = 44 and components presumably indicating termini diminished to mere traces. The adenine spectra of all fractions identified individual components.     

The graphite furnace and its role in atomic spectroscopy

The diversity of applications of the graphite furnace is extraordinary, encompassing the fields of physics, thermochemistry, spectroscopy and analytical chemistry. In this respect, the graphite furnace has been used on a continuous basis as a research tool for nearly a century. Following its introduction as an atomization source for atomic absorption spectrometry by Lvov in 1959, its role in atomic spectrometry expanded considerably to encompass analytical applications in emision, fluorescence, absorption and mass spectrometry. In addition to its conspicuous use as an atomization source in these areas, it is frequently employed as a vaporizer when used in the format of combined and tandem sources with other instrumentation. The unique physico-chemical micro-environment which can be attained within the graphite furnace has also been used to advantage in a number of investigations, including the determination of gas- and solid-phase diffusion coefficients of high-temperature metal vapours, the heats of sublimation of refractory metals, fundamental optical constants and the measurement of the heats of desorption of adatoms from high-temperature surfaces. The range of such applications remains to be more fully explored. The attractive features of this source, viz., the high atomization/vaporization efficiency, comparatively long atomic vapour residence times, controllable chemical and thermal environment and its ability to handle high dissolved solids content samples (100%) serve to ensure its place in analytical atomic spectroscopy for years to come.
