Übergangsmetallchalkogenverbindungen. Über K2MoOS3 und K2WOS3 und ihre Reaktion mit Selenwasserstoff zu Dithiomonoselenomolybdaten und -wolframaten. Röntgenkristallographische Daten von Cs2MoOS2Se und Cs2WOS2Se

The preparation and properties of K₂MoOS₃ and K₂WOS₃ are reported. During the reaction of these salts in aqueous solution with H₂Se in the presence of Cs⁺ the compounds Cs₂MoOS₂Se and Cs₂WOS₂Se are formed. (For X-Ray-data see “Inhaltsübersicht”).     

Vergleich von Potentiometrischer Stripping-Analyse und Anodischer Stripping-Voltammetrie in der Flie?injektionsanalyse. St?rungen bei der Bleibestimmung

Summary The interferences caused by inorganic ions, organic anions and Triton X-100 in the determination of lead by flow injection potentiometric and voltammetric stripping analysis at a mercury film electrode were investigated. The experiments were performed in the concentration range of 1–10 mg/l Pb²⁺. For both methods linear calibration plots were obtained in the presence of an excess of nitrate, chloride, perchlorate and sulphate. Iodide strongly interferes due to mercury complexation.Metal ion interference caused by formation of irreversible amalgams (as in the case of codeposition of Ni, Co, Fe and Cr) is avoided by proper choice of deposition potential. No effect of water soluble reduced species, i.e. Fe(II) and Cr(II), on the stripping signals was observed. The presence of acetate, citrate and tartrate does not limit the determination of lead by potentiometric stripping analysis (PSA) but has a marked effect on anodic stripping voltammetric (ASV) signals. No influence of Triton X-100 on the determination of lead by PSA was found. In ASV 10^–3% Triton X-100 diminished the peak current by 15%.

Laser-induced electron impact ionization in a reflectron time-of-flight mass spectrometer

Some details of the generation of electrons by impinging a laser beam on a metal surface are described. It is shown that highly efficient electron generation is observed only during the laser pulse. Therefore, this technique delivers intense pulses of electrons. The process is investigated and different ion source set-ups are discussed. In conjunction with a time-of-flight mass spectrometer this technique can be used to produce mass spectra of different samples ranging from simple organic molecules to peptides.     

Iodometric determination of ferricyan in the presence of copper,silver, cadmium and zinc

Ferricyan can be determined in the presence of copper, silver and cadmium by addition of potassium ferrocyanide, filtration of the ferrocyanides of copper, silver and cadmium formed in this reaction, and titration of the potassium ferricyanide contained in the filtrate. In the case of silver, the ferricyan can also be determined without filtration by addition of potassium iodide and titration of the ferricyanide. In the case of zinc, potassium, ferrocyanide is added and without filtration the ferricyanide titrated.     

Ring-fused cyclobutanes via cycloisomerization of alkylidenecyclopropane acylsilanes

A novel Lewis acid-catalyzed cycloisomerization of alkylidenecyclopropane acylsilanes is disclosed. The readily available starting materials participate in tandem Prins addition/ring expansion/1,2-silyl shift to grant access to bicyclo[4.2.0]octanes and bicyclo[3.2.0]heptanes, which are common motifs in terpenoid natural products. Notably, the transformation relies on the ability of acylsilanes to act sequentially as acceptors and donors on the same carbon atom.

Potentiometric stripping analysis and anodic stripping voltammetry with carbon fiber electrodes

High-modulus carbon fibers are used as working electrodes in differential-pulse stripping voltammetry and potentiometric stripping analysis. Different types of electrodes (particularly single-fiber and brush electrodes) are compared with regard to reproducibility, sensitivity, and practical aspects. Zinc, cadmium, and lead are determined in the 100 μg 1^?1 to 1 mg l^?1 range and optimum experimental parameters are described. The cut single-fiber electrode has the best general characteristics.
