Anisotropic muon Knight shift in the HCP single crystals of Cd,Zn and Be

In single crystal samples of Zn, Cd and Be (hcp structure) stroboscopicSR measurements successfully revealed anisotropies in the muon Knight shift (K). An anisotropic K can provide information on the amount of non s-electrons screening the charge of the muon implanted in these metals as a light hydrogen isotope. In Cd, the anisotropic part depends strongly on the temperature and shows a change in sign at roughly 110 K. In Zn, the anisotropic part below 10 K turns out to comprise 4th order contributions in the direction cosines of the external field. This can be understood on the basis of an anisotropicg-factor of the conduction electrons or spin-orbit coupling, respectively.     

Direct determination of the enantiomeric purity of oxyphenonium using chiral HPLC with post-column extraction detection

Summary A method is described for the determination of the enantiomeric purity (enantiomeric excess) of the anticholinergic drug oxyphenonium. The method for this quaternary ammonium compound is based on the direct HPLC analysis with a chiral stationary phase. Two kinds of 1-acid glycoprotein-bonded phases were used.For the detection a post-column extraction with fluorescence detection of the ion-pair counter ion dimethoxyantracene sulphonate was used.     

Isolation and synthesis of vobparicine,a novel type dimeric indole alkaloid

From the rootbark of Tabernaemontana chippii a novel antimicrobially active dimeric indole alkaloid was isolated which was assigned structure $\text{1}$ on the basis of spectroscopic evidence and its synthesis.     

Generalized kinetic equations

We study the abstract differential equation on a Hilbert space H, which represents a variety of different kinetic equations. T is assumed bounded and self-adjoint on H, and A (unbounded) positive self-adjoint and Fredholm. For partial range boundary conditions and 0x<, we prove existence and (non-) uniqueness theorems and give representations of the solution. Various examples from neutron transport, radiative transfer of polarized and unpolarized light, and electron transport are given.This paper is dedicated to K.M. Case on the occasion of his sixtieth birthday     

Photometrische Titration der Carboxylendgruppen in Poly?thylenterephthalat

Zusammenfassung Es wird eine schnelle Methode zur Bestimmung von Carboxylendgruppen in Polyäthylenterephthalat beschrieben; sie beruht auf der Messung der Farbänderung von Bromphenolblauindicator während der Titration einer Lösung des Polymeren in o-Kresol/Chloroform mit alkoholischer Lauge.Resultate von Bestimmungen an einer organischen Säure und an Polymerproben werden gegeben. Die Resultate von Bestimmungen an Polymeren wurden mit denen nach der von Pohl beschriebenen visuellen, nach der von Maurice beschriebenen potentiometrischen Methode und nach der von Ward beschriebenen Infrarotmethode verglichen und gleiche Resultate erhalten. Die photometrische Methode wird aus verschiedenen Gründen bevorzugt.

Photometric titration of carboxyl end groups in polyethylene terephthalate

The method is based on the continuous measurement of the changes in absorbance of bromophenol blue indicator during titration of a solution of the polymer in o-cresol/chloroform with standard alcoholic potassium hydroxide solution.Results are given of tests with an organic acid and polymers amples. The results obtained with the polymer samples are compared with those obtained by the visual titration method of Pohl, the potentiometric titration method of Maurice and the infrared method of Ward. The four methods yield the same results. For several reasons the photometric method is preferred.

     

The signal vs. concentration relationships in fluorimetry

Formulae for the fluorescence signal are derived which take into account some factors hitherto neglected. From these formulae conditions are deduced, for which a linear relationship exists between the concentration of the fluorescent components and the intensity of the fluorescence. In some cases of practical interest the fulfilment of these conditions cause too low a sensitivity. For such cases a method of optimization is outlined, by means of which the conditions are found which lead to the least deviation from linearity at the required sensitivity.     

Verdampfung von Uranspaltprodukten in Wasserstoff, Stickstoff und Sauerstoff

Zusammenfassung Die Verdampfung der Spaltprodukte Germanium, Arsen, Molybdän, Ruthenium, Cadmium, Zinn, Antimon und Tellur aus bestrahltem U₃O₈ im Wasserstoff-, Stickstoff- und Sauerstoffstrom wurde zwischen 900 und 1500° C untersucht. Bei 1500° C verdampfen die meisten dieser Elemente innerhalb 1 Std mit hoher Ausbeute.

SCF—CI calculations and the assignment of the absorption spectrum of the excimer of 1-methyl naphthalene; relation to 1,1′-binaphthyl

An SCF MO calculation followed by extensive configuration interaction between all singly-excited singlet states has been performed for the excimer of naphthalene in a perfect and in some distorted sandwich structures. With these results an assignment is given for the bonds in the absorption spectrum of the excimer of 1-methyl naphthalene. It is further shown that the similarity between the optical properties of the 1-methyl naphthalene excimer and those of 1,1′-binaphthyl in fluid solution, is also reflected by the calculations.     

Remarkable O(2)-effect in 1,4-additions of diethylzinc to 6-acyloxy-2H-pyran-3(6H)-ones and 6-alkoxy-2H-pyran-3(6H)-ones

Under the influence of air, a facile 1,4-addition of diethylzinc to acyloxypyranones and alkoxypyranones 1 takes place. Reaction of diethylzinc with molecular oxygen provides EtOOZnEt, which catalyzes the addition of diethylzinc.     

The luminescence of uranime-activated yttrium tungstate (Y2WO6)

The luminescence of uranium in Y₂WO₆ can be excited with long wavelength ultraviolet radiation at temperatures below room temperature. The emission consists of a fairly narrow band in the orange part of the spectrum. Its characteristics are comparable with the luminescence of uranium in MgWO₄ and the scheelites MWO₄ (M = Ca, Sr, Ba). It is possible to relate the thermal quenching temperature of the luminescence to spectral data. Energy transfer from the tungstate group to the uranate group is observed, but its efficiency is not very high compared with other systems.
