Decomposition of vegetables for determination of Zn,Cd, Pb and Cu by stripping voltammetry

A simple and accurate digestion method using nitric acid, perchloric acid and hydrogen peroxide has been developed for use in trace analysis for heavy metals in vegetables by differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry. The recovery of the metals from the samples is lower if the hydrogen peroxide is omitted from the digestion mixture. Standard reference materials have been analysed satisfactorily by this method.     

地质样品中金,银,铊等元素的连续原子吸收光谱法测定

本文提出了一个一次称样连续测定金、银、铊的简便、快速的新方法。该法是以泡塑吸附金、铊，使银等定量地保留在溶液中。泡塑上的铊用ＥＤＴＡ解脱后，再用硫脲溶液继续解脱金，然后，采用原子吸收光谱法连续测定金、银、铊。方法用于黄铁矿、方铅等单矿矿物及岩石、土壤样品中ｘｎｇ／ｇ～ｘｘｘμｇ／ｇ金、银、铊的测定，获得满意结果。     

Mathematical studies of Kekulé structures

The perfect matching vector and forcing and the Kekulé-vector of cata-benzenoids are defined. Two theorems are given which set the sufficient and necessary conditions for HKZ-vector (Harary et al. J Math Chem 6:295, 1991) and Kekulé-vector in cata-benzenoids. Additional two theorems are obtained which give sharp bounds for the modules of HKZ- and Kekulé vectors. Dedicated to Professor Tadeusz Marek Krygowski on the happy occasion of his 70th birthday.     

Solvent and substituent effects on the conformational equilibria and intramolecular hydrogen bonding of 4-substituted-2-hydroxybenzaldehydes

By applying the B3LYP/6-31G(d) method with the SCIPCM model on seven 4X substituted 2-hydroxybenzaldehydes, some structural characteristics related with their conformational equilibria and intramolecular hydrogen bonds have been clarified. The compounds are almost completely under the planar conformation characterized by a strong intramolecular hydrogen bond, which decreases in those solvents that possess a higher hydrogen bond donating capability and polarity. The substituents exert a marked influence on the conformational equilibrium constants and the strength of the IHB. Moreover, the excellent Hammett-type equations obtained support the proposed conformational reactions to quantify the IHB in the o-hydroxybenzaldehydes studied.

四核钴羰基簇合物Co4(CO)8(μ-CO)2(μ4-PSR)2的合成和晶体结构

The title compounds Co4(CO)8(μ-CO)2 (μ4-PSR) [R=-CH3, -C2H5, -C(CH3)3,-(CHa)4CH3] were synthesized by the reaction of Co2(CO)8 with RSPCl2. They were characterized by IR, 1HNMR, elemental analysis. The crystal and molecular structure of Co4(Co)8(μ-CO)2 (μ4-PSC2H5) has been determined by single crystal diffraction method. Crystal data: monoclinic, space group P21 /c, with a=8-445(3), 6=8.562(3), c= 17.125(6)Å, β=104.26 (3)' 9 V=1200.1Å3, Z=2, Dc=1.937gcm-3. Its molecular structure contains an octahedral Co4P2 skeleton which consists of a rectangular four cobalt atoms core and the Co4 core is capped above and below by two quadruply bridging PSR ligands.     

Thermodynamics of the conversion of aqueous glucose to fructose

The thermodynamics of the conversion of aqueous glucose to fructose has been investigated using both heat conduction microcalorimetry and high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC). The reaction was carried out in both aqueous Tris/HCl buffer and in aqueous phosphate buffer in the pH range 7–8 using the enzyme glucose isomerase and the cofactors CoCl₂ and MgSO₄. The temperature range over which this reaction was investigated was 298.15–358.15 K. We have found that the enthalpy of reaction is independent of pH over the range investigated. A combined analysis of both the HPLC and microcalorimetric data leads to the following results at 298 15 K:ΔG° = 349 ± 53 J mol^-1, ΔH° = 2.78 ± 0.20 kJ mol^-1, and ΔC _p ^° = 76 ± 30 J mol^-1 K^-1. The stated uncertainties are based upon an analysis of both the random and systematic errors inherent in the measurements. Comparisons are made with literature data. The percent conversion of glucose to fructose has been calculated for the temperature range 300–373.15 K.

Protection of immobilized sulfhydryl groups against autooxidation by alterations in their microenvironment

Immobilized sulfhydryl groups were prepared by partial thiolation of NH₂-glass beads. The microenvironment of the immobilized SH groups was varied by different chemical modifications of neighboring NH₂ groups. Introduction of a strong charge in the surroundings of immobilized sulfhydryls results in their dramatic stabilization against autooxidation. This effect is due to the salting of O₂ from the surface microlayer of the thiolated beads.
