Adsorption characteristics of a Hungarian natural mordenite and its acid treated derivatives

A mordenite-containing rock from the Tokaj-mountains was investigated. The effect of the treatment with hydrochloric acid solutions of various molarity was established. From gas adsorption measurements, scanning electron microscopic investigations and measurements with a mercury porosimeter conclusions were drawn on the changes caused by acid treatment. Slight changes in the texture were found, but no damage in the crystal structure could be observed.

Cytoskeletal elements of chick embryo fibroblasts revealed by detergent extraction.

Treatment of chick embryo fibroblasts with 0.5% Triton X-100 extracts most of the cell protein, leaving an organized part of the cell structure attached to the tissue culture dish. This "Triton cytoskeleton" consists largely of intermediate-sized filaments and bundles of microfilaments. SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis reveals that this cytoskeleton is made up of three main proteins. One protein component is 42,000 daltons and co-migrates with muscle actin. The other two components are 52,000 and 230,000 daltons and remain quantitatively associated with the cytoskeleton during the detergent extraction. The possible identity of these three protein components and their organization into a supramolecular structure is discussed.     

Ab initio scf and CI study of the ground and excited states of the HN2 radical

Non-empirical SCF and CI calculations are reported for the HN₂, free radical in various low-lying electronic states. The nature of the angular and N-N and N-H stretching potential curves of each of these species is investigated, including a study of the dissociative behavior of such states. The ground state is found to be only very slightly bound with respect to NH stretch, in contrast to what is observed for isoelectronic HCO, The vertical electronic spectrum of HN₂, appears to be marked by a single long wavelength transition (1.95 eV) from the bent (124°) ‘A’ ground state to the linear ²Π excited species, but at least four other intra-valence and an additional n → 3s Rydberg species are indicated in the 5.5–8.0 eV absorbing region.     

Molecular emission cavity analysis—a new flame analytical technique: Part V. The determination of some sulphur anions

An investigation of the MECA behaviour of sulphate, sulphite, metabisulphite, peroxodisulphate, thiocyanate, thiosulphate and sulphide ions, has shown that ng amounts of these anions may be determined in samples of a few μl. Metal ion interferences in the determination of sulphate and sulphite are removed by addition of phosphoric acid.     

Isotopenaustauschvorgänge bei homogen katalysierten reaktionen—II: H/D-Austausch bei der deuterierung von cycloalkenen in gegenwart von tris-(triphenylphosphin-)rhodium(I)-chlorid

The homogeneous deuteration of cycloalkenes in benzene solution at 22±1° under normal pressure using tris(triphenylphosphine)rhodium(I)chloride (1) is reported. In all cases isotopic scrambling accompanies deuteration, the extent of this scrambling depends very much on the ring size. Simultaneously a H/D-exchange takes place in the cycloalkenes. These results are discussed on the base of a mechanistic scheme containing reversible formation of rhodiumalkyl species.     

On [Na(POCl3)4]+ Complex Ion Formation: Conductivity,Raman, and NMR studies in the system phosphoryl chloride–sodium tetrachloro aluminate and related compounds

The system POCl₃–NaAlCl₄ was investigated by measuring the conductivity and the Raman and NMR spectra (²⁷Al, ²³Na and ³¹P) as a function of the mol fraction x of NaAlCl₄ in POCl₃. Additionally, Raman spectra of POCl₃ solutions of NaFeCl₄, LiAlCl₄, LiFeCl₄, and KAlCl₄ were recorded. In solutions containing Li⁺ or Na⁺ ions a liquid to solid (or jelly) phase transition was observed under certain conditions, dependent on salt concentration and temperature. Observed changes in the Raman spectra of the electrolyte solutions in comparison to the pure solvent POCl₃ demonstrate the existence of interactions. Clearly, the POCl₃ eigenfrequencies and hence the molecules are pertubed. The formation of [M(POCl₃)₄]⁺ complexes (M = Li, Na) can be deduced from the Raman measurements. NMR investigations support this conclusion. For assigning of Raman spectra, (Li⁺, K⁺) cation and ([FeCl₄]^?, [SbCl₆]^?) anion substitutions were employed.     

A re-investigation of the molecular structure of trifluoroacetic acid by means of gas phase electron diffraction

Analysis of the electron diffraction patterns of trifluoroacetic acid at 140°C indicates the existence of one conformation with the CF₃-group rotated 17.3± 0.9° from a position with a fluorine atom eclipsed with respect to the CO bond. The data does not exclude the possibility of free internal rotation but it seems improbable.The important bond lengths, r_g(1), and bond angles with their standard deviations in parentheses, are: C-F: 1.325 (0.003), C-C: 1.546 (0.005), CO: 1.192 (0.003), C-O: 1.353 (0.014) Å, C-C-F: 109.5 (0.3), C-CO: 126.8 (0.8), C-C-O: 111.1 (0.9)°.     

Alkylation d'enamines par les halogeno-5 ene-3 ynes-1

The alkylation of several enamines of cyclanones with 5-halogeno 3-ene 1-ynes 1 gives a mixture of isomeric ketones 3 and 4. The composition of this mixture is independent of the enamine but is related to the nature of the halide 1. The primary halides lead essentially to ketones 3 and the secondary halides give predominantly 4. Both ketones are always formed via an initial C-alkylation; a mechanism taking account of the experimental results is proposed.     

Field desorption mass spectrometry of quaternary ammonium salts: Cluster ion formation

The field desorption mass spectra of salts such as quaternary ammonium and carbenium salts with organic cations in addition to high cation intensities show signals for cluster ions composed of the salt cation + salt molecule, i.e. [C + nM]⁺, n = 1–5, thus allowing determination of the molecular weights of salts. In some cases cluster ions of the type [nM – 1]⁺ are detected. Conditions for the formation of cluster ions are discussed.     

The observation of predissociations in the oxygen molecular ion by low-energy electron impact

The kinetic energy distribution of the O⁺ ions formed by dissociative ionization of O₂ has been carefully examined in the range of 0.0 to 1.3 eV. In the peak at 600 meV fine structure is observed and interpreted by predissociation. The high energy side of the peak has been ascribed to the predissociation of the ²Δ_g, B²Σ^?_g and the C⁴Σ^?_u states of O⁺₂. The low energy side of the peak is presumably due to the predissociation of the b⁴Σ^?_g state or the ²Φ_u state of O⁺₂ or to autoionizing predissociation.
