Electrochemical Processes of Sulfide in NaCl Electrolyte Solutions on Mercury Electrode

The electrochemical processes of sulfide in NaCl electrolyte solutions were studied using stripping cyclic voltammetry, differential capacity and chronoamperometric measurements. Some new effects were observed and are here discussed. At potentials around ?0.1 to ?0.3 V a pair of Faradaic adsorptive peaks, which can only be observed in the presence of chloride, is attributed to the formation of HgCl ion from the deposited layer of HgS. A second pair of peaks of purely capacitive character was observed at ?0.4 V. This is the result of the reorientation and partial desorption or transformation of HgS layers. The formation and dissolution of HgS layers on mercury has been well investigated previously. We observed some new effects after depositing approximately ten layers of HgS and attributed this to the formation of polysulfides at positive potentials.

Thermodynamics of formation of nitrogen bases and d-ribose from mineral substances in light of the problem of origination of simplest elements of living matter

The paper represents a further development of our hydrate hypothesis of simplest living matter origination (SLMO) from inorganic and simplest organic mineral substances. It is supposed that the sources of SLMO are simplest aliphatic hydrocarbons, niters, and phosphates. Thermodynamic calculations demonstrating a principal possibility for simultaneous syntheses of different nitrogen bases, d-ribose, and desoxy-d-ribose from these source substances are presented. The most probable principal mechanism of SLMO and the principal conditions necessary for realization of the proposed chemism of SLMO in the framework of the proposed mechanism are considered. A principal means for testing the hypothesis is proposed.     

Syntheses and structures of six compounds in the A2LiMS4 (A=K, Rb, Cs; M=V, Nb, Ta) family

Six new compounds in the A₂LiMS₄ (A=K, Rb, Cs; M=V, Nb, Ta) family, namely K₂LiVS₄, Rb₂LiVS₄, Cs₂LiVS₄, Rb₂LiNbS₄, Cs₂LiNbS₄, and Rb₂LiTaS₄, have been synthesized by the reactions of the elements in Li₂S/S/A₂S₃ (A=K, Rb, Cs) fluxes at 773 K. The A and M atoms play a role in the coordination environment of the Li atoms, leading to different crystal structures. Coordination numbers of Li atoms are five in K₂LiVS₄, four in A₂LiVS₄ (A=Rb, Cs) and Cs₂LiNbS₄, and both four and five in Rb₂LiMS₄ (M=Nb, Ta). The A₂LiVS₄ (A=Rb, Cs) structure comprises one-dimensional chains of tetrahedra. The Rb₂LiMS₄ (M=Nb, Ta) structure is composed of two-dimensional layers. The Cs₂LiNbS₄ structure contains one-dimensional chains that are related to the Rb₂LiMS₄ layers. The K₂LiVS₄ structure contains a different kind of layer.     

饱和锌的粘土矿物吸附半胱氨酸的机理

用红外光谱、X射线衍射（XRD）和热分析研究了饱和过渡金属锌的粘土矿物吸附半胱氨酸的机理；XRD结果显示吸附了半胱氨酸后的粘土矿物的d(001)方向的距离明显增大，说明被吸附的半胱氨酸进入了粘土的层状结构之中；饱和了锌的粘土矿物吸附半胱氨酸有两种方式，其一为弱相互作用，另一种强相互作用；后一种方式吸附的半胱氨酸与粘土的过渡金属之间形成了配合结构，结合力比较强，在热作用下，它们一直到395℃左右才分解；强相互作用吸附的半胱氨酸主要是以去质子的两性离子和阴离子形式存在于粘土矿物上，与过渡金属形成螯合的六元环结构。     

A highly efficient synthesis of antiobestic ligand GW501516 for the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor δ through in situ protection of the phenol group by reaction with a Grignard reagent

A new synthesis of an agonist for the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor δ (PPARδ) GW501516 as a potential antiobesity drug is described. The synthetic route involves the in situ protection of the phenol group with a Grignard reagent and a regio-controlled one-pot reaction for the formation of a sulfide bond as the key step. Starting from commercially available 4-iodo-2-methylphenol, this approach affords GW501516 with an overall yield of 87%.     

A comparison of sequential extraction techniques for determining arsenic fractionation in synthetic mineral mixtures

The sequential extraction methods according to Tessier et al. [1], Borovec et al. [2], Zhang and Moore [3] and Hall et al. [4] have been tested for their suitability for arsenic fractionation in samples of artificially prepared mineral mixtures. Mixtures containing different amounts of As-containing phases were prepared so that their compositions corresponded to weathering products on As-bearing ore deposits. A comparison of different procedures on simple mineral mixtures containing calcium arsenate (CaHAsO₄·H₂O), As-bearing goethite (FeOOH) and arsenopyrite (FeAsS) showed that only the results of the Hall method satisfactorily correspond to the expected arsenic distribution. A detailed verification of the Hall method was subsequently carried out on most complex synthetic mineral mixtures with varying amounts of As-containing kaolinite and carbonate, calcium arsenate, As-bearing goethite and arsenopyrite. The results confirm that the Hall method cannot be fully employed for an accurate As speciation but may be applied for a route identification of As distribution between "labile", "medium-labile" and "residual" forms in heavily polluted soils.     

The Electrochemically Initiated Reaction of Sulfide with N,N‐Diethyl‐p‐phenylenediamine in Dimethylformamide. Part II: Implications for Sensing Strategies

The electrochemically initiated reaction of p‐phenylenediamines with sulfide in aqueous media is well documented. We now report the adaptation of this chemistry into nonaqueous media. This is critically appraised as a means of detecting sulfide. The electrochemically initiated reaction of N,N‐diethyl‐p‐phenylenediamine with sulfide is shown at both macro‐ and platinum microdisk electrodes with quantitative detection of sulfide produced by means of the enhanced currents observed upon its addition. The linear detection range for sulfide is dependent on the concentration of N,N‐diethyl‐p‐phenylenediamine present with a linear range from 28–3290 μM and a limit of detection of 22 μM achievable. This represents a large increase compared to that found previously in aqueous media and offers the prospect of more ready applications in high temperature systems.
