The structure of kesselringine

Summary On the basis of IR, PMR, and mass spectra and chemical transformations, the alkaloid kesselringine isolated from the epigeal parts ofColchicum kesselringii Rgl. has been shown to have the structure of 2,11-dihydroxy-12-methoxyhexahydro-1,12-epoxyhomoproaporphine with the R absolute configuration at the C_6a atom.V.

Novel electroanalytical techniques for pollution analysis

Summary Two new analytical techniques are described. The so-called injection technique operates on evaluating a dynamic concentration signal as a result of following the concentration change in a certain part of a flow-through channel after injecting a sample or reagent at a small volume into the current of an appropriate solution flowing at a constant rate.The second technique, the programmed coulometric titration technique, also uses the flow-through channel principle; that means this novel technique allows the more precise titrimetric way of analysis in flowing solutions. In the case of both techniques potentiometric and voltammetric detectors were involved. Several examples proved the multifold advantages of these techniques for environmental analysis.

Neue elektroanalytische Verfahren für die Umweltanalyse

Zusammenfassung Zwei neue Methoden werden beschrieben. Die sog. Injektionstechnik wertet ein dynamisches Konzentrationssignal aus, das sich aus der Änderung in einem Durchflußkanal ergibt, wenn Probe oder Reagens in kleinen Volumina in einen konstant fließenden Flüssigstrom injiziert werden. Das zweite Verfahren, die programmierte coulometrische Titration, erlaubt die Anwendung der genaueren titrimetrischen Technik auf fließende Lösungen. Bei beiden Methoden werden potentiometrische und voltammetrische Detektoren verwendet. Mehrere Beispiele zeigen die vielfachen Vorteile dieser Verfahren bei der Anwendung auf die Analyse von Umweltmaterial.

Exchange of deuterium with OH groups of HY zeolites

The exchange reaction of D₂ with OH groups of HY zeolites was followed both in the solid and gas phase by IR and MS. The rates of D₂–OH and D₂–H₂ exchange increase considerably with dehydroxylation of the sample. The active centers are probably vacancies formed by removal of oxygen from the lattice, they catalyze the dissociation of D₂. Dehydroxylation of the sample is accompanied by the formation of 3 740 cm^–1 hydroxyls, whose exchange with D₂ is slower than that with other OH groups and which affect the kinetics in the gas phase.

Heterogeneous-homogeneous decomposition of HNO3

In contrast to ZSM zeolites impregnated with V⁵⁺ salts, catalysts prepared by adding V³⁺ salts during zeolite synthesis exhibited (even when transformed into cristobalite by oxidative activation) higher selectivity to furane in the oxidation of butadiene. Non-oxidative activation preserved the zeolitic structure and increased both the total activity and the selectivity to furane.

Kinetic investigation of the textile bleaching process

Volumetric H₂-uptake measurements on an Mo₂N (79 m²g^–1) sample reduced at 673 K have been carried out and the uptake isotherms in the temperature range of 308–623 K have been determined. Both the total and reversible hydrogen uptake increased with the uptake temperature. The irreversible hydrogen uptake increased abruptly when the uptake temperature was raised up to 423 K. The maximum of irreversible hydrogen uptake was measured at 473 K. The H_IR/Mo ratio calculated from the uptakes obtained in the temperature range of 308–623 K varies in the range of 0.0010–0.0202. One possible mechanism for hydrogen adsorption is proposed to be heterolytic dissociation on Mo-N paris, in which the molybdenum atoms are in unsaturated coordination.     

Oxidative coupling of methane over Sr?Ti, Sr?Sn perovskites and corresponding layered perovskites

The layered perovskites Sr₂TiO₄ and Sr₂SnO₄ are more active and selective for the oxidative coupling of methane at 1073 K than the corresponding perovskites SrTiO₃ and SrSnO₃. The role of the surface oxygen species for this reaction is discussed.     

Cyclotetrasilazane als precursor für cyclotrisilazane und bis(cyclodisilazan-1-yl)silane

Di-lithiated octamethylcyclotetrasilazane (OMCTS, 1) reacts with halosilanes in different ways. Ring contraction with formation of the isomeric cyclodisilazanes 2, 3 occurs in the reaction with chloro- and fluorotrimethylsilanes. Substitution (6) and ring contraction with formation of the isomeric six-membered ring 7 occurs with chlorodimethylsilane. 2, 3, 6 and 7 are excellent precursors of silyl-bridged, SiH-functional, four-membered ring systems (4, 5, 9–11). The mechanism of the isomerization reactions are discussed.
