Yields of Br* (4P1/2) as a function of wavelength in the photodissociation of Br2 and IBr

A flashlamp-pumped tunable dye laser has been used to study the photochemical production of Br* (4²P_1/2) atoms from Br₂ and IBr exc     

A.C. Cyclic voltammetry: A digital simulation study of the slow scan limit condition for a reversible electrode process

Rate laws presented to date for analysis of a.c. cyclic voltammetric data have invoked the so-called “slow scan limit approximation” which requires that ΔEω ? v, where Δ E and ω are the applied a.c. potential amplitude and angular frequency, respectively, and v is the d.c. potential scan rate. To provide a more useful guideline for the experimentalist than this qualitative condition, a pure digital simulation approach has been used to compute the a.c. cyclic time domain waveform for a reversible process under small amplitude conditions. The a.c. content of this waveform is extracted by the digital FFT alogirthm. Results of this study are presented here. Among the conclusions reached are more quantitative limitations for the slow scan limit rate laws describing the fundamental and second harmonic responses (approximately 128 a.c. cycles/d.c. cyclic sweep and 512 a.c. cycles/d.c. cyclic sweep, respectively) and an interesting prediction that the latter limitations can be relaxed further by a current waveform subtraction strategy, to as low as about 16 a.c. cycles/d.c. cyclic sweep for the fundamental and second harmonics. The cycles/sweep values assume one triangular wave potential scan of ±200 mV is encompassed.     

Constituents of Catha edulis: Isolation and structure of cathidine D

Work which has recently appeared on the structures of Celastraceae alkaloids in addition to physical and chemical evidence adduced with respect to cathidine D permits formulation of structure 7a or 7b for this component of Catha edulis.     

The exchange rate between dissolved tripalmitin and tripalmitin crystals

The focus of this paper is on understanding the exchange between dissolved fats and fat crystals in dispersions by quantifying the rate of the exchange between the fats in solution and in crystals. In the studies reported here, tripalmitin (PPP) was used as model fat. The dispersions contained PPP crystals and dissolved radio-labelled PPP (14C-PPP, used as the probe) in a medium chain triglyceride oil (MCT). The exchange process between the dissolved 14C-PPP and unlabelled PPP crystals was followed using a radio-detector. The effect of the crystal concentration on the exchange rate was studied. The results suggested that the rate of the exchange is dependent upon both the dissolution of the surface of the crystals and also diffusion and crystallisation of the dissolved compounds.     

Differential thermal analysis of fluxed melts and its application to the system NiFe2O4-BaO-B2O3

The application of DTA to fluxed melts is discussed, and an apparatus for the determination of the solubility of crystalline materials in molten solutions is described. An exploratory study of the crystallization of nickel ferrite from barium borate fluxes is also described, and solubility curves are presented for fluxes which favour crystal growth. The heat of solution of nickel ferrite was found to be 73 ± 2 Kjoule mole^–1.
