Dependence of equilibrium constants ofL-valine on ionic strength according to Guggenheim,Scatchard and Pitzer models

Summary A systematic study of the dependence of acid-base stoichiometric constants on the ionic strength has been carried out for the aminoacidL-valine in ClK and BrK solutions. The observed dependence has been interpreted by using Guggenheim, Scatchard and Pitzer models for the activity coefficients of the species involved in the equilibria.

Zusammenfassung Es wurde anL-Valin in KCl- und KBr-Lösungen eine systematische Studie der Abhängigkeit der Säure-Base-Stöchiometrie von der Ionenstärke durchgeführt. Die beobachteten Abhängigkeiten wurden aufgrund der nach den Modellen von Guggenheim, Scatchard und Pitzer erhaltenen Aktivitätskoeffizienten der an den Gleichgewichten beteiligten Spezies interpretiert.

     

Direct analysis of alkylnaphthalenes in crude oils by two-dimensional capillary gas chromatography

Summary Diaromatics are geochemically significant constituents of crude oils. Their determination is usually achieved by elaborate prefractionation methods, such as medium pressure liquid chromatography and HPLC, prior to capillary gas chromatography. The present contribution describes the quantitative analysis of methylnaphthalenes, ethylnaphthalenes, and dimethylnaphthalenes in selected crude oils by two-dimensional capillary GC. Since the method does not comprise any work-up procedure the determination of geochemical parameters (alkylnaphthalene concentration ratios) is performed on the original, untreated crude oil samples. Accordingly, the analytical results reflect the original composition. The influence by evaporational losses in the laboratory is minimized.     

Note on the application of the reduced graph model in conjunction with search trees to the enumeration ofKekulé structures

The reduced graph model, when used in conjunction with the search trees method, provides a novel combinatorial procedure for the enumeration and generation ofKekulé structures. The procedure is suited for large benzenoid hydrocarbons consisting of cata- and thin peri-condensed parts.

A novel nomenclature of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons without using graph centre

In this paper, we develop a novel adjacency matrix, He-matrix, corresponding to the dualist graph. Without using the graph center concept, we advance a novel nomenclature of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Further, we derive some distinguishing theorems about PAH molecules and present some results of our automatic derivatization and automatic classification counting of fused PAH molecules.     

Chelating Behaviour of Substituted 1-Benzoyl-4-Phenylthiosemicarbazide

The preparation and characterization of a series of new coordination compounds of Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II) containing o-methyl- or o-chlorobenzoyl-4-phenyl-3-thiosemicarbazide (HMBPT, HCBPT=HL) are reported. The reaction products were investigated by analyses, electrolytic conductance, magnetic susceptibility, reflectance and IR spectral studies. The IR spectra show that HMBPT and HCBPT coordinate with the metal ions via different coordination sites (NS and/or NO). The spectral data support the suggestion that the ligands form his-chelates with Ni(II) and Cu(II) of square planar stereochemistry and of general formulae ML₂·H₂O, where L is the uninegatively charged bidentate ligand. The Co(II) ion forms octahedral and tetrahedral structures with HMBPT and HCBPT, respectively. The ligand field parameters (D₄, B and β) for the Co(II) chelates were calculated using the averaged-ligand-field approximation. The influence of the benzene ring substituents (o-chloro or o-methyl) on the stereochemistry are discussed. Also, the formation of the complexes in solution was tested by the pH-metric method.

Information content of data and variables and types of weighting in least-squares regression methods

Algorithms are given for evaluating the relative amount of useful information related to a particular parameter which is carried by individual data points and intervals of the variables. The algorithms provide an efficient means of using the information contained in a set of data. Applications to the optimization of weighting in regression methods are described. Several informational and combined informational-statistical types of weighting are studied as a means of improving the accuracy and precision of the parameters obtained by non-linear regression.     

Advances in two-dimensional GC with glass capillary columns

A versatile two-dimensional gas chromatograph is described, consisting of 2 separate ovens, one intermediate trap, an auxiliary inlet, and the necessary hardware to effect off-line switching according to the principle of Deans. The unit has been designed for use with high resolution glass capillary columns. The performance of individual instrumental components was critically evaluated. Results showed that low dead volume glass to metal connections were required in the manifold and detector lines to minimize extra-column effects. The mass of the intermediate trap must be low to allow rapid heating. Operational parameters are discussed and examples of some applications are shown.
