Synthese et Etude Structurale D'acides Alkylphosphoniques a Longue Chaine Hydrocarbonee

Long-chain dialkyl alkylphosphonates were synthesized by radical addition of dialkyl hydrogenphosphonates onto alkenes in presence of di(t-butyl) peroxide. This synthetic route leads to high yields between 94 and 97%. We performed chemical modifications of these phosphonates in order to obtain acidic derivatives. The structure of these compounds was characterized by NMR analyses and mass spectroscopy. We also studied their thermal behaviour and various crystalline phases were put in evidence by differential scanning calorimetry and optical microscopy. The thermal stability of these compounds was compared by thermogravimetric analyses.     

Orthogonal Wavelets Analysis of Electroanalytical Signals

ABSTRACT

A signal processing technique based on orthogonal wavelet analysis is applied to process various simulated electroanalytical signals. The results indicate that if the scale parameters are selected, the orthogonal wavelet processing method (OWPM) can remove high-frequency noise. Experimental signal was recorded by computer and used to test the OWPM procedure. After processing with OWPM, the processed data was used to analyze the mechanism of the electrode reactions. Processed results of the experimental data are also satisfactory.     

Discriminant Analysis of Selected Organics Evaluated as Corrosion Inhibitors in 0.5 M HCL

Abstract

Discriminant analysis can be used to (1) find criteria to separate observations into groups and (2) to optimally assign a new observation to its correct group. It is rather exploratory in nature especially when causal relationships are not known. Twenty four selected organics were tested as corrosion inhibitors and both physical and structural features were encoded as criteria for discrimination. In addition, a narrower set of twelve nitrogen containing compounds was also studied. In both cases the carbon chain length was an important uncoded criterion. The physical factors such as boiling point, molecular weight, pKa, and molecular area were not as important as some of the structural parameters.     

Controllability of Nonsmooth Discrete Systems with Delay

This paper is concerned with a study of local controllability to discrete inclusions with delay. The sufficient conditions for relative and complete local controllability are obtained on the base of using Mordukhovich's nonsmooth constructions.     

Structure of the Polymer Obtained from Bisphenol-A and Cl 2 P(O)CH 3

Using the step-by-step build-up approach, the possible conformations of compound PhOP(O)(Me)OPh(Me) 2 Ph were constructed and geometrically optimized. Among the obtained structures 32 conformations belonging to low, comparable energy levels were used to construct the most stable dimers and tetramers of the title polymer. The results allowed us to estimate the geometrical structure of the polymer.     

EFFECT OF MAGNESIUM COMPLEXATION ON THE 31P MIDDLE-GROUP CHEMICAL SHIFTS OF CHAIN AND RING PHOSPHATES

Abstract

For pure sodium polyphosphates, Na _{n + 2}P _n O_{3n + 1}, exhibiting 3 through 6 phosphorus atoms per molecule, the ³¹P chemical shift of the middle group phosphorus atoms as measured in aqueous solution (0.1 M in P) at pH 7 was seen to increase with increasing magnesium ion concentration until there was one Mg atom per polyphosphate molecule, after which the chemical shift decreased. Finally the rate of decrease diminishes and precipitation occurs. For the longer-chain phosphates, Na _{n + 2}P _n O_{3n + 1} with n = 8, 9, 10, or an average of 100, as well as for the ring phosphates, Na _n P _n O_3n for n ranging from 3 through 10, an increase in magnesium concentration simply leads to a decrease in chemical shift which diminishes at the higher concentrations. These data lend additional support to the concept that polymerized phosphate anions in solution exist in preferred conformations which depend on the nature of the counteraction.     

Electron Spin Resonance Study on Grafting of Tetrafluoroethylene onto Polyethylene

An ESR study has been made on the course of grafting of tetrafluoroethylene onto polyethylene. Alkyl and allyl radicals trapped in the polymers were measured under various grafting conditions. It was observed that alkyl radicals decay very rapidly when monomers are in contact with the irradiated polymer, while allyl radicals decay very slowly even in the presence of monomers as in the decay of radicals in irradiated polymers without monomers. The effect of pre-irradiation temperature on grafting was also studied, and the rate of grafting was found to be much faster for lower pre-irradiation temperatures. From these experimental results it was concluded that alkyl radicals play an important Tole in the initiation reaction of grafting.     

In-house validation for analytical methods and quality control for risk evaluation of chlordecone in food

Chlordecone was used until 1993 as a pesticide in the banana plantation of Martinique and Guadeloupe (French Antilles) against the root borer. This organochlorine pesticide was lipophilic, remnant, and toxic for human beings with both acute and chronic effects. Chlordecone was strongly absorbed and stored in soil and weakly decomposed in environment. Surveys conducted in 2001 revealed its presence in soil, rivers, and domestic food products. Local food (fruits and vegetables, cattle, poultry, and fish) was growing on soils, widely contaminated by chlordecone, used in the past as banana plantations. In 2003, French Administration asked for a risk evaluation for the Antilles population. The French Agency for Food Safety, proposed a Provisional Tolerable Daily Intake of 0.0005?mg?kg^?1?b.w.?day^?1, and an Acute Reference Dose of 0.01?mg?kg^?1?b.w.?day^?1, based on a toxicological risk assessment. The French National Reference Laboratory for pesticides has carried out two analytical methods, one for food of animal origin and another for food of fruit and vegetable origin. These methods were validated in the reference laboratory and dispatched to 13 laboratories for a proficiency test before the launch of two studies on Martinique and Guadeloupe food. About 900 samples from Martinique were sent to the network of laboratories for analysis of chlordecone. Performance parameters obtained through the proficiency test were briefly reported. The quality control test proposed in this study was discussed to shed light on the true variability achievable by intra-laboratory and inter-laboratory analysis. The limits of conventional quality-control procedures were discussed, and a process was proposed in order to get better confidence in analytical results.
