Fuzzy theory in analytical chemistry

The concept of fuzzy theory is described in order to provide the analyst with the means for dealing with vague statements, uncertain observations or the fuzziness of human perception and interpretation, in general. In a theoretical part, basic notions of fuzzy theory are given, such as types of membership functions, operations with fuzzy sets, definitions of fuzzy numbers, points, functions, and relations, and the use of linguistic variables. The difference between fuzziness and probability is outlined. The applications section demonstrates advantages of fuzzy theory methods compared to common mathematical methods with respect to data handling for calibration of analytical methods, to classification of Chromatographie and spectroscopic patterns, to component identification and multicomponent analysis, and to designing fuzzy expert systems for selection of analytical procedures.     

A fully automated mass spectrometer for the analysis of organic solids

Automation of a mass spectrometer—computer system makes it possible to process up to 30 samples without attention after sample loading. An automatic sample changer introduces the samples successively into the ion source by means of a direct inlet probe. A process control unit determines the operation sequence. Computer programs are available for the hardware support, system supervision and evaluation of the spectrometer signals. The most essential precondition for automation — automatic evaporation of the sample material by electronic control of the total ion current — is confirmed to be satisfactory. The system operates routinely overnight in an industrial laboratory, so that day work can be devoted to difficult analytical problems. The cost of routine analyses is halved.     

New polymer syntheses. LXXXII. Syntheses of poly(ether-sulfone)s from silylated aliphatic diols including chiral monomers

Attempts were made to synthesize poly(ether-sulfone)s from aliphatic diols or bissilylated diols on the one hand, and 4,4′-dichlorodiphenylsulfone or 4,4′-difluorodiphenylsulfone on the other hand. The reaction conditions and the catalyst were varied. Polycondensations of silylated diols with 4,4′-difluorodiphenylsulfone and powdered K₂ CO₃ in N-methylpyr-rolidone proved to give the best results. Using silylated isosorbide and isomannide as mono-mers chiral poly(ether-sulfone)s were prepared. GPC measurements indicate weight-average molecular weights in the range of 27×10³–200×10³. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Synthetische und NMR-spektroskopische Untersuchungen der Benzylaminaddition an N-Maleyl-aminosäurederivate

Summary During the addition of amines to maleylamino acids in general -amino derivatives are formed. In order to change the reactivity within the vinylogous maleyl system we introduced the -benzylester group into the starting compound N-(cis--carboxyacryloyl)-phenylalanine methylester1. The obtained benzylester2 is adding benzylamine in -position yielding N-benzyl--aspartyl(-benzyl)-phenylalanine methylester4. The addition reaction was investigated by¹H-NMR-spectroscopy. The structures of the compounds have been confirmed by elemental analysis, IR,¹H-NMR and¹³C-NMR spectroscopy.

     

The complete 51V MAS NMR spectrum of surface vanadia nanoparticles on anatase (TiO2): vanadia surface structure of a DeNOx catalyst

The first observations of the complete manifold of spinning sidebands (ssbs) including both the central and satellite transitions in (51)V MAS NMR spectra of surface vanadia nanoparticles on titania in DeNO(x) catalysts are presented. (51)V quadrupole coupling and chemical shift anisotropy parameters for the dominating vanadia structure are determined from (51)V MAS NMR spectra recorded at 9.4 and 14.1 T. Based on correlations previously established between (51)V NMR parameters and crystal structure data for inorganic vanadates, the NMR data are consistent with vanadium in a distorted octahedral oxygen coordination environment for the so-called strongly bonded vanadia species on the surface. The investigation includes two vanadia-titania model catalysts and six industrial-type DeNO(x) catalysts.     

Quantitative on-line high-resolution NMR spectroscopy in process engineering applications

In many technical processes, complex multicomponent mixtures have to be handled, for example, in reaction or separation equipment. High-resolution NMR spectroscopy is an excellent tool to study these mixtures and gain insight in their behavior in the processes. For on-line studies under process conditions, flow NMR probes can be used in a wide range of temperature and pressure. A major challenge in engineering applications of NMR spectroscopy is the need for quantitative evaluation. Flow rates, recovery times, and other parameters of the on-line NMR experiments have to be optimized for this purpose. Since it is generally prohibitive to use deuterated solvents in engineering applications, suitable techniques for field homogenization and solvent signal suppression are needed. Two examples for the application of on-line NMR spectroscopic experiments in process engineering are presented, studies on chemical equilibria and reaction kinetics of the technically important system formaldehyde-water-methanol and investigations on reactive gas absorption of CO(2) in aqueous solutions of monoethanolamine.

By ammonolysis of the dimer of methyl cyanoacetate with dimethylamine and anilines, resp. the dimethylamide and anilides, resp. (2 b and3 a–j) are obtained. Condensation with salicylaldehyde to the pyrone derivative4 proves the structure of2 a, ring closure reactions in basic or acidic medium yield the pyridones6 a and7 a,b, coupling with diazonium salts the pyridazines8 a–d. The amides2 and the anilides3 show hindered rotation of the enamino- and the amide-group by hydrogen bonds between the nitrogen functions and the ester carbonyl (Z-form). The G values are reported.

Über die Herstellung von Äther der enantio-14, 15-Dinorlabdan-Reihe aus Eperusäure

The Conversion of Eperuic Acid into Ethers of the enantio-14, 15-Dinorlabdane Series 5 and 6 are strongly odiferous substances of the ambra-type. Their enantiomers 7 and 8 , hitherto unknown, have been synthesized from eperuic acid (4) and their olfactory properties compared with those of 5 and 6 . 4 was esterified by CH₂N₂ and dehydrogenated with (C₆H₅Se)₂/H₂O₂ to the α,β-unsaturated ester 9 (61%). Oxidation by KMnO₄ in acetone yielded the ketone 3 (60%). Epoxidation followed by treatment with acid converted 3 into the acetals 7 (61%) and 8 (14%). 7 and 8 differ from 5 and 6 in odor intensity, and 6 and 8 show slightly different odor quality.
