Zum Mechanismus der Thermischen Dehydratisierung von Natriumdihydrogenphosphat

Mechanism of Thermal Dehydration of Sodium Dihydrogenphosphate The thermal dehydration of sodium dihydrogenphosphate (P₁) to sodium cyclotriphosphate (CP₃) and sodium polyphosphate, the so-called Maddrell's salt (MS), is controlled by nucleation and crystallization of CP₃ and MS, respectively. The wellknown influence of various formation conditions on the CP₃:MS product ratio is caused by amorphous and crystalline intermediate phases and their ability to form CP₃ or MS nuclei. On seeding P₁ with CP₃ or MS the dehydration proceeds structure-controlled via dihydrogendiphosphate to pure CP₃ or pure MS. The particularities of thermal dehydration of crystalline sodium dihydrogendiphosphate, and also the dehydration and reorganization of sodium phosphate glasses (Na:P = 1:1) with different mean chain lengths, under formation of CP₃ or MS are described.     

Formation and dissociation of the chloroethylene anions

Electron attachment spectroscopy is employed to study the formation of negative ions from the chloroethylenes. It is found that the resonances recently observed in the total electron scattering cross section are predominantly associated with the formation of Cl^?. Only in tetrachloroethylene is a long-lived parent negative ion observed.     

Ligand substitution of FeRu2(CO)12 and Fe2Ru(CO)12 with tertiary phosphines and phosphites

Ligand substitution of the mixed-metal clusters FeRu₂(CO)₁₂ and Fe₂Ru(CO)₁₂ with triphenylphosphine and trimethylphosphite has been studied. Mono- and di-substituted derivatives have been synthesized and characterized structurally. The following crystal and molecular structures are reported: Fe₂Ru(CO)₁₁PPh₃: triclinic, space group P$\text{1}$, a 9.203(2), b 11.903(3), c 15.117(4) Å, α 81.54(2), β 87.28(2), γ 66.72(2)°, Z = 2; Fe₂Ru(CO)₁₁P(OMe)₃: orthorhombic, space group Pna2₁, a 17.220(5), b 14.572(4), c 8.708(6) Å, Z = 4, FeRu₂(CO)₁₁PPh₃: monoclinic, space group P2₁/n, a 11.435(3), b 16.034(5), c 16.642(4) Å, β 93.35(2)°, Z = 4; FeRu₂(CO)₁₀(PPh₃)₂: orthorhombic, space group Pccm, a 14.854(4), b 17.180(7), c 16.786(12) Å, Z = 4.Ligand substitution is found to occur preferentially at the ruthenium centers of the FeRu₂ and Fe₂Ru clusters. Monosubstitution causes expansion of both of the clusters while the overall geometry is practically unchanged. Disubstitution of FeRu₂(CO)₁₂ causes contraction of the cluster and leads to a formation of carbonyl bridges. The structural trends have been interpreted in terms of electronic and packing effects of ligand substitution. The X-ray structures of Fe₂Ru(CO)₁₂ and FeRu₂(CO)₁₂ are not known; the ligand substitution studies indicate that Fe₂Ru(CO)₁₂ has the same structure as Fe₃(CO)₁₂, and that FeRu₃(CO)₁₂ does not have a Ru₃(CO)₁₂ structure as postulated previously from the IR studies.     

Synthesis of amino sugars via isoxazolines DL- and D-lividosamine (2-amino-2,3-dideoxy-ribo-hexose) derivatives from 4-vinyl-1,3-dioxolanes and nitroacetaldehyde acetals

1,3-Dipolar cycloaddition of nitrile oxides, generated from nitroethanol and nitroacetaldehyde derivatives 3, 21 and 22, respectively, and of benzonitrile oxide to 4-vinyldioxolanes 1, 2 gave ca 4:1 erythro/threo mixtures of corresponding isoxazolines. LAH reduction of erytho isoxazolines proceeded with similar (ca 4:1) selectivity to furnish protected ribo-amino-polyols 11, 15,19, DL- and D-lividosamines 31 and 33, respectively, as main products. The DL-lividosamine derivative 33 was obtained pure by crystallization. In the D-series, the corresponding ribo/arabino mixture D-31/D-32 was transformed to the known α-methyl D-lividosaminide D-37.

Zur Bestimmung von Aktivitäten und Konzentrationen mit natriumempfindlichen Glaselektroden

The e.m.f. of the cell Ag, AgCl/NaCl solution/sodium sensitive glass electrode was measured at 25°C. In pure water as a solvent, measured activity coefficients agree with tabulated osmotically determined values; hence, the ideality of the sodium response of the glass electrode is confirmed. Choosing a Tris – Tris. HCl buffer of the constant ionic strength 0,5M as a solvent, the applicability of HARNED'S rule was demonstrated. Conditions for measuring sodium ion concentrations with sodium sensitive glass electrodes are discussed.     

Zur Verbrennung fluor-, phosphor- und metallhaltiger Verbindungen mit einem CHN-Automaten

Zusammenfassung Durch Hinzunahme von Magnesiumoxid zur Verbrennungsrohrfüllung wird der Anwendungsbereich des CHN-Automaten auf fluor- und phosphorhaltige Proben erweitert. Diese beiden Elemente werden im wesentlichen in der Magnesiumoxidzone der Füllung gebunden. Bei manchen phosphorhaltigen Verbindungen macht die geringe Pyrolysegeschwindigkeit einen längeren Analysezyklus notwendig. Die längere Verbrennungszeit wird durch eine Reduzierung des Gasstromes ermöglicht. Bei metallhaltigen Proben geben alle Verbindungen, deren Metalle unter den herrschenden Bedingungen definierte Rückstände bilden, ohne besondere Maßnahmen gute Werte. Die Bildung carbonathaltiger Rückstände bei Alkali und Erdalkali wird meistens von der Apparatur als solche registriert.

Summary The field of application of the CHN-automatic combustion devices is extended to samples containing fluorine and phosphorus by including magnesium oxide in the filling of the combustion tube. These two elements are essentially bound in the magnesium oxide zone. Many compounds containing phosphorus make it necessary to reduce the speed of the gas stream because of the low pyrolysis velocity. When samples containing metals are being analyzed, excellent results are obtained with all compounds whose metals yield definite residues under the prevailing conditions. The formation of residues containing carbonate in the case of alkali and alkaline earths is usually registered as such by the apparatus.

Luminescent energy transfer between cadmium telluride nanoparticle and lanthanide(III) chelate in competitive bioaffinity assays of biotin and estradiol

Fluorescence resonance energy transfer has been studied between lanthanide(III) chelates as donors and protein-coupled CdTe semiconductor nanoparticles as acceptors. Wide excitation spectra and large Stokes shift of semiconductor nanoparticles and timeresolved fluorescence detection were shown to provide a combination for successful energy transfer assay. Different intrinsically fluorescent europium(III) and terbium(III) chelates coupled to single biotin molecules were studied for optimal energy transfer with streptavidin labeled semiconductor nanoparticles. No significant differences between the studied chelates were observed. The strength of the methodology was demonstrated in a clinically relevant competitive and separation-free immunoassay of estradiol, where subnanomolar limit of detection was achieved with the coefficient of variation 2-11%. The data suggested that relatively short distance was needed to obtain adequate energy transfer. Therefore, biomolecules were coupled onto the semiconductor nanoparticles without any spacers.
