Gas chromatography of halogens

Summary The semi-empirical theory on the retention volume in gas chromatography recently developed by some experiments, was found to require partial correction. It was newly refined and summarized. Overall experimental checking was performed by the use of Cl₂, Br₂, and I₂.

Gas-Chromatographie von Halogenen

Zusammenfassung Die halbempirische Theorie über das Retentionsvolumen in der Gas-Chromatographie, die kürzlich an Hand einiger Versuche entwickelt wurde, erforderte eine teilweise Korrektur. Sie wurde verbessert und zusammenfassend dargestellt. Kontrollversuche wurden mit Hilfe von Chlor, Brom und Jod durchgeführt.

     

Selective Oxidation of Betulin by Cr(VI) Reagents

Oxidation of betulin by pyridinium dichromate, pyridinium chlorochromate, and K₂Cr₂O₇ -H₂SO₄ in the presence of tetrabutylammonium bromide was studied. Products of regioselective C-3, C-28-, and exhaustive oxidation, 28-hydroxylup-20(29)-3-one, 3-hydroxy- and 3-oxolup-20(29)-en-28-al were obtained.     

A new Fluorimetric Reagent for Highly Selective and Sensitive Determination of Terbium Ion

 In this work, a new ligand, 2,9-bis[N,N-bis(carboxymethyl)-aminomethyl]-1,10-phenanthroline (BBCAP), was synthesized and used to establish a novel fluorimetric method for the determination of trace amounts of terbium in a binary system. Its luminescence mechanism was studied. The excitation and emission wavelengths are 284 nm and 547 nm, respectively. Other rare-earth metal ions in 100-fold excess caused no interference. The fluorescence intensity was a linear function of the concentration of terbium in the range of 5.0 × 10⁻¹⁰–1.0 × 10⁻⁶ mol/L. The detection limit was 2.0 × 10⁻¹¹ mol/L (n = 12). The standard addition method was used to determine the terbium in a synthetic rare-earth sample with satisfactory results. This method represents a direct, rapid, selective and sensitive analytical procedure with a widely linear range. Received November 29, 2001 Revision February 9, 2002     

Rapid Synthesis of Nanocrystalline TiO2/SnO2 Binary Oxides and Their Photoinduced Decomposition of Methyl Orange

A rapid and simple method, the so-called stearic acid method (SAM) was developed to prepare nanostructured TiO₂/SnO₂ binary oxides by combustion of stearic acid precursors. The preparative process was studied by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). During the preparative process, metal precursors were dispersed in stearic acid at molecular level. Microstructure of the samples was investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), BET specific surface area measurement and the results were compared with those obtained by conventional sol-gel method. The photocatalytic decomposition of methyl orange was used as a model system to determine the relative influences of the preparation method and the concentration of SnO₂ on the photocatalytic activities. It was found that preparative methods affected the crystalline structure of TiO₂/SnO₂ powders and the anatase phase of TiO₂ was stabilized by the addition of SnO₂ in SAM. The samples prepared by SAM showed better dispersity, larger specific surface area and the TiO₂/SnO₂ (r=0.15, SAM) catalyst showed higher photocatalytic activity than Degussa P25.     

The evolution of poly(lactic acid) degradability by dielectric spectroscopy measurements

Dielectric spectroscopy is a powerful method that allows the study of the dynamics of polymers in a wide frequency range. The different regimes of the dielectric spectra can be observed and the dynamics of the primary and secondary relaxations can be found.In this work, the systems investigated included industrial and purified poly(lactic acid), PLA. This is an aliphatic polyester, one of the most important biocompatible and biodegradable material that has received increasing attention in the last 10 years.Thermal analyses indicated that the glass transition temperature of the polymer was about 320 K.The β relaxation was observed between −150 °C and −30 °C, depending on the measurement frequency (1 Hz-100 kHz), and was assigned to the secondary relaxation in the glassy state. We studied the changes that are connected with the water penetration in the polymer, and directly affect that relaxation process. Water molecules confined by polymer chains and in the polymer networks play an important role in the degradation of the matrix, and then we can observe the evolution of that degradation during some weeks, in a controlled humidity environment. It is accepted that water preferentially enters in the amorphous zones, but also affects the crystalline regions. It is observed a clear evolution of the relaxation activation energy during the degradation of the polymer.The dielectric relaxation results are complemented with molar mass measurements during the degradation process with time.     

NEW KNOWLEDGE OF WUTONG FORMATION DEPOSITION AT THE LOWER YANGTZE AREA

In the light of the plate tectonics the outline of paleogeography, sedimentary properties and facies patterns in the depositional processes of the Wutong Formation at the Lower Yangtze area are discussed. The argument that the Wutong Formation contains not only terrestrial sediments but also marine-terrestrial transitional or marine sediments is expounded to cover the development, evolution and paleoclimate of the Wutong depositional regions.     

Some chemical transformations of the neo-clerodane diterpene teubotrin

Starting from the natural neo-clerodane diterpenoid teubotrin (1) several neo-clerodane derivatives (3-7,9-11) have been obtained. The naturally occurring diterpenoid teuscordinon (12) has also been synthesized from teubotrin (1), showing thereby how some of these transformations can be useful for the synthesis of other natural neo-clerodane diterpenes. The latter are of interest due to their activity as insect antifeedants and other important biological properties.
