Ein neues Samariumnitridsulfid: Sm4N2S3

A New Samarium Nitride Sulfide: Sm₄N₂S₃ The oxidation of samarium with sulfur in the presence of SmCl₃ and NaN₃ as nitrogen source (molar ratio: 12:9:4:2, evacuated silica vessel, some NaCl as flux, 850°C, 7 d) yields Sm₄N₂S₃ as lath-shaped, dark red single crystals. The by-products (NaCl and NaSm₂Cl₆) are rinsed with water from the crude product. The crystal structure of Sm₄N₂S₃ (monoclinic, C2/m (no. 12), Z = 2, a = 1 318.04(12), b = 391.57(2), c = 1 031.76(9) pm, β = 130.874(6)°, R = 0.036, R_w = 0.031) contains two crystallographically different Sm³⁺, both in sixfold coordination of the anions. Besides distorted octahedra [(Sm1)N₃S₃] and [(Sm2)NS₅], tetrahedra [(N^3?)(Sm)] connected via two cis-oriented edges to form chains [N(Sm1)_3/3(Sm2)_1/1]³⁺ build up the Mayn structural feature. These are arranged in the fashion of a closest packing of rods and held together by two crystallographically different S^2? anions which take care for charge neutrality and three-dimensional interconnection.     

Decomposition of Gaseous Sulfide Compounds in Air by Pulsed Corona Discharge

The effectiveness of applying a pulsed corona discharge to the destruction of olfactory pollution in air was investigated. This paper presents a comparative study of the decomposition of three representative sulfide compounds in diluted concentrations: hydrogen sulfide (H₂S), dimethyl sulfide (DMS), and ethanethiol (C₂H₅SH), which could be completely removed when a sufficient but reasonable energy density was deposited in the gas. DMS showed the lowest energy cost (around 30 eV/molecules); C₂H₅SH and H₂S had an EC of respectively 45 eV and 115 eV. The efficiency of the non-thermal plasma process increased with decreasing the initial concentration of sulfide compounds, while the energy yield remained almost unchanged. SO₂ was the only identified byproduct of H₂S decomposition, but the sulfur balance suggests the formation of undetected SO₃. The byproducts analyzed during the degradation of DMS and C₂H₅SH enabled to propose a reaction mechanism, starting with radical attack and breaking of C–S bonds.     

Absolute line intensity measurements of hot bands for carbonyl sulfide at 12 microm

Using diode-laser spectroscopy, the intensities of 58 lines of the v(1) + v(1/2) - v(1/2) band and 36 lines of the 2v(1) - v(1) band of OCS have been measured. The corresponding band strengths S(0)(v) and the vibrational transition dipoles micro(v) have been derived through least squares fitting of these individual intensities. The band strengths values have been determined with a precision better than 2.5%.

Computational examination of the electrophilic reaction on oxidative polymerization of phenyltrimethylsilane with sulfur chloride

Phenyltrimethylsilane possesses a higher HOMO energy (–9.34 eV) than nonsubstituted benzene (>0.41 eV). The π electron of the phenyltrimethylsilane localizes on the benzene ring at the ipso position rather than at the para position. Two center energies calculated by the MNDO-PM3 method indicate that the C? Si bond is facilitated to cleave in comparison with the C? H (para position) one of the benzene ring. Phenyltrimethylsilane and phenyl bis(trimethylsilane) were polymerized with sulfur chloride through the cationic oxidative polymerization. The product is isolated as oligo(p-phenylene sulfide), with a melting point of 150–190°C. An electrophile attacks the carbon atom linked to the Si atom in phenyltrimethylsilane. The new synthetic route of PPS can be established on the basis of the computational calculation.     

Comparison of Methionine α,γ‐Lyase and Homocysteine α,γ‐Lyase for Electrochemical Determination of Homocysteine

Recently, a novel enzymatic method was developed for determination of homocysteine. This method utilizes the electrochemical hydrogen sulfide sensor along with methionine α,γ‐lyase to accomplish the fast, accurate, sensitive and selective measurements. As a continuation of this work, another enzyme, homocysteine α,γ‐lyase, was used and the parallel experiments of using both enzymes were carried out against the effect of pH, sensitivity, linearity, and interferences, in an intended comparison between these two enzymes. The excellent linearity of amperometric currents against homocysteine concentrations, high sensitivities and low detection limits for both enzymes reconfirmed that the electrochemical method is superior over other analytical means. The high enzymatic activity of methionine α,γ‐lyase surpassing homocysteine α,γ‐lyase endowed the former higher sensitivity, lower detection limit and faster response than the latter, suggesting methionine α,γ‐lyase a better candidate for homocysteine measurement by electrochemical method. The differences between these two enzymes on the trends of response time and sensitivity at different pH environments, reactivity toward several forms of homocysteine as well as on the interference from several agents were also addressed and discussed.     

Oxidation of γ-stannyl sulfides by monochloramine CB and hydrogen peroxide

The first γ-trimethylstannyl sulfimide, Me³Sn(CH₂)₃S(=NSO₂Ar)C₅H₁₁-n, was synthesized by oxidative imination of Me₃Sn(CH₂)₃SC₅H₁₁-n with ArSO₂(Na)Cl (Ar=C₆H₄Cl-4). Oxidation of γ-trimethylstannyl sulfimide by an alkaline solution of H₂O₂ gave γ-trimethylstannyl sulfoximide, Me₃Sn(CH₂)₃S(O)(=NSO₂Ar)C₅H₁₁-n, and γ-trimethylstannyl sulfone, Me₃Sn(CH₂)₃SO₂C₅H₁₁-n, the latter compound resulting from hydrolysis of the arylsulfimide group. Oxidation of stannyl sulfide by hydrogen peroxide yielded γ-trimethylstannyl sulfoxide, Me₃Sn(CH₂)₃S(O)C₅H₁₁-n (under mild conditions) or γ-trimethylstannyl sulfone (under more severe conditions).

本文用反相微乳液法制备了纳米Ag₂S,并用作卤化银乳剂的硫增感剂,研究了其增感效果、增感规律及可能的增感机理.反相微乳液由异辛烷、表面活性剂AOT钠盐和水形成;制得的Ag₂S粒径3—5 nm;用制得颗粒增感卤化银乳剂,获得的感光性能优越于用Na₂S₂O₃水溶液增感;增感规律的研究表明,随着乳剂中纳米Ag₂S浓度的增加,模型乳剂感光度迅速提高、灰雾变化不大,并在100—200μmol/molAg左右获得最佳感光性能,进一步增加浓度则感光度呈下降趋势、灰雾升高;获得最佳感光性能所需的化学增感时间很短,约40分钟,之后感光度不再增加、灰雾上升;用漫反射光谱(DRS)作探针,跟踪记录增感时卤化银微晶表面上纳米Ag₂S增感剂颗粒的演变,为新型纳米增感剂的优异增感特性提供了机理性解释.
