Rasche S?ulentrennungen unter Verwendung eines oberfl?chlich sulfonierten Harzaustauschers

Zusammenfassung Die Verwendung oberflächlich sulfonierter Harzaustauscher hat die wesentlichen Vorteile, daß die Trennung sehr rasch und mit sehr verdünnten Elutionsmitteln erfolgen kann. Dies wird am Beispiel der Trennungen Na/Cs, Cs/Sr, Cs/Y, Ba/Cs und Sr/Y erläutert.

Rapid column separations by means of a superficially sulphonated exchange resin

The use of superficially sulphonated ion-exchange resins has the essential advantages that the separations can be achieved very fast and with dilute eluents. Some examples of column separations (Na/Cs, Cs/Sr, Cs/Y, Ba/Cs, and Sr/Y) confirm this result.

     

The mass spectra of aluminum isopropoxide

The mass spectra of aluminum isopropoxide show that polymers, [Al(OC₃H₇)₃]_x where x = 1 to 7, can be present in the vapor and are, therefore, probably present in the bulk sample. The polymeric composition of the vapor depends on the previous history of the sample. Exact mass measurements on many of the ions along with data on a number of metastable peaks support the proposed fragmentation mechanisms. Loss of 102 mass units between intense peaks in the mass range above 500 a.m.u. leads to the suggestion that the higher polymers may be used as high mass marking substances.     

Novel ternary cobalt(II) and nickel(II) complexes of N-phthaloylglycinate. Synthesis, characterization and X-ray crystal structure

A new series of N-phthaloylglycineate (N-phthgly) ternary complexes of cobalt(II) and nickel(II) with imidazole (imi), N-methylimidazole (mimi) and 2,2′-bipyridyl (bipy) have been synthesized and characterized by elementary analyses, IR spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis. X-ray crystal structure analyses of the three complexes of [Co(mimi)₂(N-phthgly)₂] (1), [Co(bipy)(OH₂)₄](N-phthgly)₂ (2) and [Ni(imi)₂(N-phthgly)₂(OHCH₃)₂] (3) were also carried out. In complex (1), the Co(II) exists in a distorted tetrahedral enviroment, where two nitrogen atoms of two methylimidazole molecules and two oxygen atoms of the carboxylate group of two N-phthaloylglycinate molecules are coordinated. On the other hand, in complex (2) the cobalt atom coordinates a 2,2′-bipyridine molecule and four water oxygen atoms forming a distorted octahedral conformation. A molecule of N-phthaloylglycinate is connected by van der waals contact and H-bonds. For complex (3), the nickel atom is surrounded by four oxygens (two oxygens of two different N-phthaloylglycinate molecules and two of methanol ligand) in the basal plane of octahedron along with two imidazole nitrogen atoms at the apical positions. Strong intramolecular H-bond exists between the uncoordinated carboxylic oxygen of the N-phthaloylglycinate ligand and the O–H of the methanol group.     

Koexistenzbeziehungen,Darstellung und Eigenschaften ternärer Phasen im System Cu/Mo/O

Coexistence Relations, Preparation and Properties of Ternary Compounds in the System Cu/Mo/O The phase diagram of the ternary system Cu/Mo/O is presented at 773 K. The compounds CuMoO₄, Cu₃Mo₂O₉, Cu₄Mo₅O₁₇, Cu₆Mo₅O₁₈, Cu_4–xMo₃O₁₂, and Cu_xMoO₃ are found to be thermodynamical stable. The homogeneity range of Cu_4–xMo₃O₁₂ runs to x = 0.1–0.2. Single crystals of CuMoO₄ and Cu₃Mo₂O₉ were grown by chemical transport reactions with TeCl₄, Cl₂, HCl, and Br₂ as transport agent. The results were compared with thermochemical calculations. The decomposition of CuMoO₄ and Cu₃Mo₂O₉ was investigated with thermal analysis and decompositon pressure measurements.     

The stimulatory effect of heavy metal cations on proliferation of aortic smooth muscle cells

Heavy metal cations Cd2+, Pb2+, and Hg2+ were added to substitute for Ca2+ in culture media to study their effect on the relationship between CaM and the proliferation of cultured rabbit aortic smooth muscle cells (ASMC). It was found that all the heavy metal cations studied stimulated the proliferation of ASMC in varying degrees, increased the CaM content in cells at late G1 stage and decreased the activity of cAMP PDE. These results suggest that the adverse effect of heavy metals may be related to the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and hypertensive disease.     

Complex coordinates and the Stark effect

The theories of the dilatation, r → r e^iθ, and translation, x → x + iq, transformations as related to the Stark problem are reviewed, and new results obtained. Results for the hydrogen atom n = 1 and n = 2 levels and the ¹P⁰, 2s2p H^? shape resonance in dc fields are presented, and the extension to the ac Stark effect made. Spectral estimates are made using the technique of the numerical range and via discussion of several model problems, using both coordinate rotation and coordinate translation.     

Polarographlc analysis for corticosteroids: Part 5. Reduction mechanism of halogen-containing corticosteroids and analysis of some preparations

In fluprednisolone and chloroprednisone acetate, the polarographic reduction of the carbon—halogen bond in position 6 occurs first. The carbanion—enolate formed is reduced at the dropping mercury electrode at more negative potentials than the conjugate acid. Controlled potential electrolysis at a mercury pool electrode where the carbanion—enolate can be protonated, yields the unsaturated ketone. Polarographic reduction of clobetasol-17-propionate and of clobetasone-17-butyrate results in cleavage of the C—Cl bond in the side-chain. This process is followed by reduction of the α,β-unsaturated ketone in the A-ring. Analytical methods for the determination of these compounds in ointments, creams and eye/ear drops gave results with standard deviations of 1–2%.     

Structural isomerism of mono- and sesquiterpenoid skeletons

A generator of chemical structures (CONGEN) has been utilized to investigate two aspects of the structural isomerism of mono- and sesquiterpenoid skeletons: (1) the scope of possible isomers under various structural constraints; and (2) the scope of possible isomers based on a mechanistic model which allows interactive exploration of reactions of formation and interconversion. The possibilities, even under severe constraints, are many more than the structural types commonly encountered in natural. These results indicate the potential danger of structural assignment based in part on biogenic grounds.
