Etude par RMN protonique d'heterocycles voisins de l'oxazaphospholane-1,3,2. II—Le diméthylamino-2 méthyl-3 oxazaarsolane-1,3,2

The ¹H NMR spectrum of the 2-dimethylamino-3-methyl 1,3,2 oxazaarsolane is very sensitive to solvent and temperature. A complete analysis of the spectrum at ?48 °C in deuteriated toluene shows that the molecule exists in a preferred conformation in the C-4? C-5 region. The spectrum, corresponding to an A₂X₂ system in nitrobenzene at +31 °C, indicates free movement around that bond. At higher temperatures a new coalescence phenomenon is explained by inversion of the As atom.

A new method for electrostatic ion deflection

A new approach to electrostatic ion deflection is described where an electrostatic particle guide (EPG) operating with reversed polarity is used to deflect ions in a cylindrical geometry about the axis of a time-of-flight mass spectrometer. The method has advantages over the standard parallel-plate deflector geometry in that it is more effective in deflecting ion beams that have a significant radial velocity component. The device is being used in ²⁵²cs Cf plasma desorption mass spectrometry (²⁵²cs Cf -PDMS) experiments in an on/off mode to record neutral particle spectra and in a synchronized pulsed mode to reduce the magnitude of the uncorrelated background in the time-of-flight spectrum. Radial distribution functions have been measured for various EPG voltages. Its use as a background suppression technique is demonstrated by using the ²⁵²cs Cf-PDMS spectrum of insulin. (28-36)     

Modern Methods for the Study of Electrode Processes

The investigation of electrode processes calls for the use of methods that yield information on the reaction mechanism and the reaction rate, on the nature and stability of intermediates, and on adsorption processes at the electrode. It is no longer enough to record current-voltage curves or charging curves. In addition to the potentiostatic scan method, other methods that have proved useful for the investigation of electrode kinetics are the rotating disc electrode in particular, and to a smaller extent AC polarography. Intermediates can be identified with rotating double electrodes and by ESR spectroscopy or mass spectrometry. Adsorption processes on electrode surfaces can be studied by optical methods or by radioactive tracer methods.
