The transparency of polyurethane-poly(methyl methacrylate) interpenetrating and semi-interpenetrating polymer networks

Various combinations of polyurethane (PUR) and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) were prepared as interpenetrating polymer networks (IPN) or semi-IPNs. In the latter, either the PUR or the PMMA component was crosslinked. The optical transmissions of these materials were measured as a function of the crosslink degrees of both phases. The role of the PUR chain extender, poly(oxypropylene) glycol, is discussed. It is concluded that any means which increases the degree of phase dispersion favours the transparency of PUR/PMMA based IPNs and semi-IPNs.     

Indicators in non-aqueous cerimetric titrations of thioureas and xanthates

The use of some chemical indicators in the non-aqueous cerimetric determination of thioureas and xanthates in acetonitrile medium is described.     

Photochemical and thermal transformations of azomethine imines

The thermal and photochemical fragmentations of a few bisazoalkenes have been investigated. 2-Phenyl-4,5-disubstituted-1, 2,3-triazoles were obtained both in the thermolysis and photolysis of 1, 2-bisphenylazo-(4, 4′-dichloro) stilbene, 1, 2-bisphenylazo(4, 4′-dimethoxy)stilbene, 1, 2-bisphenylazocyclohexene and o-(phenylazo) phenyldiazocyanide. Both 2, 3-bisphenylazo-2-butene and 1, 2-bisphenylazoethylene failed to undergo either photolysis or thermolysis in the expected manner. However, 2, 3-bisphenylazo-2-butene underwent an acid-catalysed valence isomerisation to anhydro 1-phenylimino-2-phenyl-4, 5-dimethyl-1, 2, 3-trizolium hydroxide, which on photolysis gave 2-phenyl-4, 5-dimethyl-1, 2, 3-triazole. The same iminotriazolium intermediate gave a cycloadduct, 2, 6-diphenyl-3, 3a-dimethyl-4, 5-dicarbomethoxypyrazolino [2.3.c][1.2.3] triazole, on treatment with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate, whereas treatment with carbon disulphide gave 2-phenyl-4, 5-dimethyl-1, 2, 3-triazole. Both photolysis and thermolysis of C-biphenylene-N^α(4-chlorophenyl)-N^β-cyanoazomethine imine gave 9-fluorenone-N- (4-chlorophenyl) anil. Photolysis of 1, 2-bisphenylazoacenaphthylene in methanol gave acenaphthenequinone monophenylhydrazone.     

The effect of a magnetic field on the singlet/triplet ratio in geminate ion recombination

Excited state formation by ion recombination in solutions of fluorene in squalene has been studied by pulse radiolysis at the center of a large electromagnet. The products of the slower part of the ion recombination are affected by an applied magnetic field. The fluorescence yield increases by a factor of about 1.5 whereas the triplet yield decreases.     

Magnetic resonance study of (GdxY1−x)Co2 compounds

The results of magnetic resonance studies on ferrimagnetic (Gd_xY_1?x)Co₂ compounds, both below and above the Curie points, are presented. The ferrimagnetic resonance measurements show that the effective g values can be described by using the Wangsness relation. The spectroscopic splitting factors of cobalt atoms are not composition dependent. In the paramagnetic range the thermal variation of the linewidth is not linear and the g values are a function of temperature. This behavior is analyzed in correlation with the magnetic data.     

Crystallographic parameters in α-UF5 and U2F9 by multiphase refinement of high-resolution neutron powder data

The crystal structures of α-UF₅ and U₂F₉ were refined with high-resolution neutron powder diffraction data from an $\text{α-}\text{UF}{}_5\text{U}{}_2\text{F}{}_9$ mixture. Refinement was achieved by a multiphase Rietveld profile refinement technique. The results are compared with previous X-ray and neutron powder studies.     

The crystal structure of Cu4(PO4)2O

Cu₄(PO₄)₂O crystallizes in the space group $\text{P}\text{1}$ with a = 7.5393(8) Å, b = 8.1021(9) Å, c = 6.2764(8) Å, α = 113.65(1)°, β = 98.42(1)° and γ = 74.19(1)°. The structure was refined by full-matrix least-squares techniques using automatic diffractometer data to R = 0.046 (R_w = 0.056). Four unique copper atoms are in six, five-, and four-coordinated polyhedra which are linked together to form a three-dimensional network. The structure is best described in terms of a cubic close-packed array of oxygen atoms with one-tenth of the possible anion sites vacant.     

Non-aqueous redox determination of ascorbic acid with copper (II)

Hydrated copper (II) perchlorate (in acetonitrile) has been used for the direct visual and potentiometric determination of ascorbic acid in acetic acid-acetonitrile media. Diphenylamine and diphenylbenzidine are suitable indicators. A bright platinum wire is used as indicator electrode and a modified calomel or an antimony electrode as reference electrode for the potentiometric titration. Ascorbic acid is oxidized to dehydroascorbic acid. The proposed method is simple, accurate and reliable. The reverse titration also works well.
