The structure and electrochemical characteristics of La0.67Mg0.33 (Ni0.8Co0.1Mn0.1) x (x=2.5–5.0) multiphase alloys for nickel-metal hydride batteries

This paper presents results concerning structure and electrochemical characteristics of the La_0.67Mg_0.33 (Ni_0.8Co_0.1Mn_0.1) _x (x=2.5–5.0) alloy. It can be found from the result of the Rietveld analyses that the structures of the alloys change obviously with increasing x from 2.5 to 5.0. The main phase of the alloys with x=2.5–3.5 is LaMg₂Ni₉ phase with a PuNi₃-type rhombohedral structure, but the main phase of the alloys with x=4.0–5.0 is LaNi₅phase with a CaCu₅-type hexagonal structure. Furthermore, the phase ratio, lattice parameter and cell volume of the LaMg₂Ni₉phase and the LaNi₅ phase change with increasing x. The electrochemical studies show that the maximum discharge capacity increases from 214.7 mAh/g (x=2.5) to 391.1 mAh/g (x=3.5) and then decreases to 238.5 mAh/g (x=5.0). As the discharge current density is 1,200 mA/g, the high rate dischargeability (HRD) increases from 51.1% (x=2.5) to 83.7% (x=3.5) and then decreases to 71.6% (x=5.0). Moreover, the exchange current density (I ₀) of the alloy electrodes first increases and then decrease with increasing x from 2.5 to 5.0, which is consistent with the variation of the HRD. The cell volume reduces with increasing x in the alloys, which is detrimental to hydrogen diffusion and accordingly decreases the low-temperature dischargeability of the alloy electrodes.     

Analysis of the nonisothermal crystallization kinetics in three linear aromatic polyester systems

Melt or cold crystallization kinetics has a strong bearing on morphology and the extent of crystallization, which significantly affects the physical properties of polymeric materials. Nonisothermal crystallization kinetics are often analyzed by the classical Johnson–Mehl–Avrami–Kolmogorov (JMAK) model or one of its variants, even though they are based on an isothermal assumption. As a result, during the nonisothermal (e.g. constant heating or cooling rate) crystallization of polymeric material, different sets of model parameters are required to describe crystallization at different rates, thereby increasing the total number of model parameters. In addition, due to the uncorrelated nature of these model parameters with the cooling or heating rate, accurate modeling at any intermediate condition is not possible. In the present work, these two limitations of the conventional approach have been eliminated by exhibiting the existence of a functional relationship between cooling or heating rate and effective activation energy during nonisothermal melt or cold crystallization in three linear aromatic polyesters. Furthermore, it has been shown that when the JMAK model is used in conjunction with this functional relationship, it is possible to precisely predict the experimental nonisothermal melt or cold crystallization kinetics at any linear cooling or heating rate with a single set of model parameters.     

Inclusion of α-phenyl-N-p-methylphenyl Nitrone in β- Cyclodextrin: Formation of 1G : 1H and 1G : 2H Complexes and the Remarkably Fast 1,3-Dipolar Cycloaddition of the 1G : 2H Complex with Olefins in the Solid State

The nitrone is found to be included in the -cyclodextrin cavity in two different stoichiometries viz., 1G : 1H and 1G : 2H – the existence of which is proved by physical methods. The 1G : 2H complex of the nitrone serves as a good potent dipolarophile in the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions with olefins resulting in rate acceleration and regioselection.     

Finding of remarkable synergistic effect on the aroxyl-radical-scavenging rates under the coexistence of α-tocopherol and catechins

Measurements of aroxyl radical (ArO^•)-scavenging rate constants () of antioxidants (AOHs) (α-tocopherol (α-TocH) and three catechins (CatHs) (ie, epicatechin (EC), epigallocatechin (EGC), and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG)) were performed in ethanol solution, using stopped-flow spectrophotometry. values were measured not only for each AOH, but also for the mixtures of two AOHs (α-TocH and CatH). A notable synergistic effect that the value of α-TocH increases 1.29, 1.84, and 1.65 times under the coexistence of constant concentrations of EC, EGC, and EGCG, respectively, was observed for the solutions including α-TocH and CatH. Similarly, values of CatHs (EC, EGC, and EGCG) increased 1.72, 2.25, and 2.34 times under the coexistence of constant concentrations of α-TocH, respectively. UV-Vis absorption of α-tocopheroxyl radical (α-Toc^•) (λ_max = 428 nm), which had been produced by reaction of α-TocH with ArO^•, decreased remarkably under the coexistence of α-TocH and CatHs due to the fast α-TocH-regeneration reaction by CatHs. The result suggests that the prooxidant reaction due to α-Toc^• is suppressed by the coexistence of CatHs. By analyzing the formation and decay curves of α-Toc^•, it has been ascertained that one molecule of EGCG having three OH groups at B-ring may rapidly regenerate three molecules of α-Toc^• to α-TocH.

Spectrophotometric study of the complexation of iodine with 1,7-diaza-15-crown-5 in chloroform solution

The complex formation reaction between iodine and 1,7-diaza-15-crown-5 (DA15C5) has been studied spectrophotometrically in chloroform at 25°C. The resulting 1:2 (DA15C5:I₂) molecular complex was formulated as (DA15C5...;I⁺)I ₃ ^– . The spectrophotometric results, as well as the conductivity measurements, revealed that the gradual release of triiodide ion from its contact ion paired form in the molecular complex into the solution is the rate determining step of the reaction. The rate constant was calculated ask=(8.8±0.2)×10^–3 min^–1. The formation constant of the molecular complex was evaluated from the computer fitting of the absorbance-mole ratio data as logK _f=6.89±0.09.     

Erfahrungen mit der flammenlosen Atomabsorption bei der Untersuchung biologischen Materials auf Spuren von Schwermetallen

Zusammenfassung Es wird über den Einsatz der flammenlosen AAS bei der Bestimmung von Blei, Zink und Thallium in Blut, Urin und Gewebe berichtet. Wegen der hohen Empfindlichkeit der Methode kann auf eine Abtrennung und Anreicherung der zu bestimmenden Elemente verzichtet werden. Durch die Verwendung eines Untergrundkompensators können Fehlbestimmungen, die durch das Auftreten von Rauch beim Atomisieren bedingt sind, vermieden werden. Wenn die Proben nur wenig verdünnt werden können, muß mit dem Einfluß dritter Partner aus dem biologischen Material gerechnet werden. Dieser Einfluß kann durch Zusatz von Salpetersäure zu den Proben im Graphitrohr vermindert, aber nicht völlig aufgehoben werden. Die Leistungsfähigkeit der flammenlosen AAS wird am Beispiel der Bleibestimmung in Eierschalen und Eiinhalt wild lebender Vögel gezeigt.Herrn Lühl vom Forstzoologischen Institut der Universität Freiburg sei auch hier für die Beschaffung der Proben und Frau Engel für die Durchführung der Untersuchungen gedankt.     

Biocatalytic synthesis of polymers. III. Formation of a high molecular weight polyester through limitation of hydrolysis by enzyme-bound water and through equilibrium control

Enzyme-catalyzed preparation of polymers offers several potentially valuable advantages over the usual polymerization procedures and has been studied for several years. A significant limitation on the polyesters prepared to date has been the low molecular weights achieved. The present studies have established that, in the polycondensation of bis(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl) glutarate with 1,4-butanediol using porcine pancreatic lipase as the catalyst, this limitation arises from at least two sources: hydrolysis of activated ester end groups by water introduced along with the enzyme and the polymerization's reaching equilibrium despite using the poorly nucleophilic 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol as the leaving group. Evidence is also developed that the presence of trifluoroethanol accelerates the release of the enzyme-bound water which hydrolyzes the activated ester end groups. The hydrolysis could be avoided by choosing a relatively high-boiling solvent, such as bis(2-ethoxyethyl) ether, then removing the trifluoroethanol by placing the reaction mixture under vacuum periodically or by drying the enzyme rigorously. The vacuum method also removed the limitation on molecular weight resulting from the reaction's reaching equilibrium. A further improvement in the molecular weight to nearly 40,000 daltons, well within the range that is technically interesting, was achieved by using 1,2-dimethoxybenzene or 1,3-dimethoxybenzene as the polymerization solvent. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
