Atomic emission spectrometry with an induction-coupled high-frequency plasma source: The determination of iodine,mercury, arsenic and selenium

The application of an inductively coupled high-frequency plasma source to the determination of iodine, mercury, arsenic and selenium by atomic emission spectrometry at wavelengths less than 200 nm is described. Optimal conditions have been established, and the spectral interference effects at different atomic lines for each element have been investigated. With the type of instrumentation employed, the determination of iodine at 183.04 nm, mercury at 184.96 nm, arsenic at 189.0 nm and selenium at 196.09 nm is recommended to minimize spectral interferences. No chemical or physical interferences resulting from the influence of foreign ions on the solute vaporization process have been noted.     

Reduction of 2,3,4-substituted quinolines with sodium borohydride

1,2-Dihydroquinolines were obtained by the reduction of 3-substituted 2-methyl-4-phenylquinolines with sodium borohydride in aliphatic carboxylic acids; N-alkyl derivatives are also formed. The corresponding 1,4-dihydroquinoline was obtained in the reaction of 2-methyl-3-nitroquinolinium perchlorate with sodium borohydride.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 12, pp. 1680–1686, December, 1991.     

The determination of molybdenum and tungsten in sea and surface water

A simple method for the determination of molybdenum and tungsten in sea and surface water is presented. Molybdenum and tungsten are concentrated on activated charcoal by adsorption as the ammonium pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate complex; the optimal pH for adsorption is 1.3. Mo and W are then determined by thermal neutron activation, forming ⁹⁹Mo (T_{$\text{1}\text{2}$} = 66.7 h) and ¹³⁷W (T_{$\text{1}\text{2}$} = 23.8 h), respectively. The ^99mTc daughter of ⁹⁹Mo is measured as soon as the equilibrium between ^99mTc(T_{$\text{1}\text{2}$}= 6 h) and ⁹⁹Mo is established. The detection limits are 0.05 μg Mo l^-1 and 0.05 μg W l^-1 (or 0.001 μg W l^-1 after a simple chemical separation).     

A hydrodynamic voltammetric study of the ferricyanide/ferrocyanide system with convective electrodes of platinum,gold, glassy carbon,carbon film,and boron carbide

Hydrodynamic voltammetry employing empirically determined mass transport coefficients is used to determine heterogeneous rate constants and transport coefficients for the ferricyanide/ferrocyanide system in 0.1 M phosphate buffer and other supporting electrolytes with turbulent tubular and rotated disk electrodes of platinum, gold, glassy carbon, carbon film, and boron carbide. Different kinetic parameters are obtained at the various electrode materials. For the platinum, gold, and boron carbide electrodes, the magnitudes of the rate parameters depend on scan direction. The nature of this hysteresis varies with the electrode material and is explained in terms of adsorbed oxide and ionic layers or other phenomena not described by simple double layer theory.     

MO-LCAO-Calculations on polymethines. V. PPP-type calculations and configuration analyses of simple prototype dyes in terms of molecular subsystems

In order to elucidate certain controversies in interpreting the π-electronic structure of some simple quinone and indigo dyes the Pariser–Parr–Pople SC _β,γ-wave-functions have been subjected to configuration analyses. Whereas 2,5-diamino-quinone (1) can be excellently represented by coupling of two trimethine-merocyanine chains, the analogous consideration is less appropriate with bispyrrolindigo (2). In this case the results of the configuration analyses indicate clearly the limited applicability of the Longuet/Higgins–Murrell–method.     

Energy dependence of SF6 dissociation by pulsed CO2 laser radiation

The fractional dissociation,³²Γ, of ³²SF₆ by the output of a pulsed TEA CO₂ laser has been found to depend upon Φ, the total integrated laser intensity, as ³²Γ ∞ Φ^m for both the P(20) and P(16) laser lines, where m ≈ 3 in the range 2 < Φ < 7.2 J/cm² and increases from 3 to ≈ 4 as Φ is reduced from 2 to 0.9 J/cm².     

Intramolecular "Aryl-metal chelate ring" pi,pi-interactions as structural evidence for metalloaromaticity in (aromatic alpha,alpha'-diimine)-copper(II) chelates: molecular and crystal structure of aqua(1,10-phenanthroline)(2-benzylmalonato)copper(II) three-hydrate

By reaction of Cu(2)CO(3)(OH)(2), 2-benzylmalonic acid (H(2)Bzmal), and 1,10-phenanthroline (phen), [Cu(Bzmal)(phen)(H(2)O)] x 3H(2)O (compound 1) has been obtained and characterized by thermal, spectral, magnetic, and X-ray diffraction methods. The molecular structure of 1 is remarkably similar to that of [Cu(Bzmal)(bipy)(H(2)O)] x 2H(2)O (compound 2, bipy = 2,2'-bipyridine). In both complexes, the aryl(Bzmal) ring produces an unexpected pi,pi-stacking interaction with the Cu(II)-(aromatic alpha,alpha'-diimine) chelate ring, at an average distance d(pi)(-)(pi) of 3.40 A, involving roughly parallel and smoothly slipped rings. This insight is discussed as new structural evidence for metalloaromaticity of Cu(II)-(aromatic alpha,alpha'-diimine) chelate rings. Interestingly, 1 recognizes itself by a weak intermolecular pi,pi-stacking interaction between aryl(Bzmal) ligands to give pairs of complex molecules. In contrast, there is an intermolecular pyridyl-pyridyl pi,pi-stacking interaction also forming pairs of complex molecules in 2.

Zusammenfassung Kürzlich wurde in einer Publikation vonA. K. Bose undS. Garratt über eine neue Synthese von substituierten Barbitursäuren aus Malonsäuren und substituierten Malonsäuren mit Carbodiimiden berichtet. Hierdurch sehen wir uns veranlaßt, über unsere bisherigen Ergebnisse im Rahmen ähnlicher Untersuchungen kurz zu berichten.     

pH-metric studies on some ternary complexes of lanthanones

Stepwise mixed ligand complex formation has been cited for the formation of 111,Ln(III)—NTA—catechol ternary complexes potentiometrically [whereLn(III)=La(III), Pr(III) or Nd(III)]. The results of titration curves indicate the formation of 11,Ln(III)—NTA complexes in beginning and the addition of catechol, takes place later on in the higher buffer region. The relative stability of these ternary complexes in terms of metal ion has been reported as La(III)< 相似文献   

Biogenic substances in sediments and fossils

Most sedimentary rocks contain small concentrations of finely divided organic material. With the aid of modern analytical methods, samples of such rocks can be examined in detail, and conclusions can be drawn concerning the origin of the organic substances. Intact or modified biogenic compounds such as paraffins, isoprenoids, alcohols, ketones, carboxylic acids, steroids, triterpenes, and porphyrins have been isolated from the soluble fractions of the organic material of many sediments and from identified fossils of various geological ages. Even Precambrian rocks contain biogenic substances, so that life forms must have existed more than three billion years ago. The main component of the organic material is “kerogen”, the complicated polymeric structure of which has not yet been established.
