Dialkylindiumacetate R2InOOCCH3 (R = CH3, C2H5) Darstellung,Eigenschaften und Struktur

Dialkylindium Acetates R₂InOOCCH₃ (R = CH₃, C₂H₅). Preparation, Properties, and Structure. Dimethyl- and diethylindium acetate were prepared and the vibrational spectra (IR and RAMAN ) discussed. The X-ray structure determination shows that diethylindium acetate belongs to the orthorhombic space group Pnma. The unit cell with lattice constants a = 8.40, b = 7.41, c = 15.13 Å contains four molecules. Each indium atom forms with an acetate group a planar four-membered ring. The indium-oxygen distance within such a ring is only a little shorter than the distance of this oxygen to the indium of the next neighboured ring. Indium has therefore the coordination number six.     

Ab initio SCF Calculation of the Fluoronium Ion: Geometry,electronic structure and vibrational constants

An ab initio SCF calculation of 42 points of the energy hypersurface of the fluoronium ion is presented using a contracted F(5s/3p), H(2s) gaussian basis set. In its equilibrium structure a bond length of 1.812 a.u. and a HFH bond angle of 127.2° are predicted. The calculated vibrational frequencies for H₂F⁺, HDF⁺, and D₂F⁺ are in good agreement with the experimental data.

Coincidence experiments with electrons

Coincidence experiments with electrons provide new information on the structure of nucleons and nuclei. Using new CW accelerators, kinematic regions can be explored with high precision which have not been accessible previously. The equipment and the necessary steps in the analysis of (e,ep) experiments will be discussed and illustrated with new data taken at the MAMI facility.Lectures given at the Indian-Summer School on Electron Scattering of Nucleons and Nuclei, Prague (Czech Republic), September 1994.     

Domain wall theory of elementary excitations in anisotropic antiferromagneticS=1 chains

We present a theoretical investigation of elementary excitations in anisotropic antiferromagneticS=1 chains using the concept of domain walls in string (hidden) order. Domain walls are classified by the internal spin projectionS _dw ^z . We calculate energies and string correlation functions of low lying excited states of the domain wall type in the Haldane phase and compare the results to those of numerical computations. The boundaries of the Haldane phase are determined from the instability of these excitations with respect to the ground state. The interaction between two domain walls is found to be proportional to the productS _dw ^z , S _dw ^z ₂, it is effectively repulsive for equal spin projections.     

A matrix approach to grazing-incidence X-ray diffraction in multilayers

A method for computation of X-ray grazing-incidence diffraction (GID) in multilayers and superlattices is presented. The method is based on X-ray dynamical diffraction theory and a matrix from a boundary equations and provides a simple numerical solution of the problem. The application of the method to simulating GID measurements taken from A1As/GaAs superlattice (20 periods of 14.6 nm A1As and 6.8 nm GaAs) demonstrates the principal validity of the theory. A perfect matching between the theory and the experiment requires the real-structure effects of sample to be taken into account.     

Shed plane leaves as a source ofα-tocopherol

A natural source of -tocopherol — shed plane leaves — has been found. The dynamics of the accumulation of a-tocopherol over the vegetation period of the plant has been studied, and a method has been developed for its isolation and quantitative determination.Deceased.Institute of the Chemistry of Plant Substances, Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Uzbekistan, Tashkent, fax (3712) 89 14 75.

Enzyme and microbial sensors for phosphate, phenols, pesticides and peroxides

Biosensors employing a biocatalyst on a different level of integration have been developed for monitoring environmental pollution. These probes range from laboratory specimen to commercial detectors applied to analyzers. Recent developments on amperometric enzyme and microbial biosensors are presented here. A monoenzymatic bulk-type carbon electrode is described for biosensing organic hydroperoxides in aqueous solutions; peroxidase is immobilized within the electrode body and the direct electron transfer between electrode and enzyme is measured. Both, reversible and irreversible inhibitors of acetylcholinesterase have been quantified by using a kinetically controlled acetylcholine enzyme sequence electrode. The inhibitory effect of pesticides such as butoxycarboxime, dimethoate, and trichlorfon could be quantified within 6 min in molar concentrations. Different multi-enzyme electrodes have been developed for the determination of inorganic phosphate. These sensors represent examples of sequentially acting enzymes in combination with enzymatic analyte recycling. Using this type of amplification nanomolar concentrations can be measured.     

Investigations on the determination of NO2 with galvanic nitrate solid electrolyte cells

Solid electrolyte cells for detecting NO₂ with Ba(NO₃)₂ or Sr(NO₃)₂ partially replaced by -Al₂O₃ as solid electrolytes have been studied. The cell tension depends on the NO₂- as well as on the NO-concentration. Investigations of the establishment of the NO₂-NO-O₂-equilibrium by the catalytic effects of the used electrode materials Pt and Au have shown that a decomposition of NO₂ below 400°C cannot be expected.17th Communication on oxoanionic solid electrolytes and their possible applications; 16th Communication see Solid State Ionics 51:183–185 (1992)Extension of a part of the lecture of V.
