Kristallstrukturanalyse von Ammonium-catena-polyphosphat II mit Röntgenpulvertechniken

Crystal Structure Determination of Ammonium catena-Polyphosphate II by X-Ray Powder Techniques The first structure determination of one of the five modifications of ammonium-catena-polyphosphate was performed using X-ray powder diffraction data. (NH₄PO₃)_nII is formed by phase transformation of (NH₄PO₃)_nI which on its part is obtained by condensation of NH₄H₂PO₄ at 200°C in presence of urea. Modification II crystallizes in P2₁2₁2₁ (a = 1 207.9(1), b = 648.87(8), c = 426.20(4) pm; Z = 4; 291 observed reflections; R(p) = 0.089; R(wp) = 0.111; R(I, hkl) = 0.088). The chain-anion runs parallel to the shortest axis, the period of identity is two. The ammonium ion is surrounded by a distorted tetrahedron of oxygen atoms (N? O-distances range from 285 to 292 pm, hydrogen bonds of middle strength).     

Adsorption of the fluoride ion on the surface of various faces of a single crystal of silver: a quantum-chemical study

The fluoride ion adsorption from a gas phase on various faces of a single crystal of silver is studied by a density functional method within a cluster model for metal. The adsorption bond energy is found to increase in the series Ag(100) < Ag(111) < Ag(311) < Ag(110). A substantial structural and energetic heterogeneity of various adsorption sites is revealed. The results are utilized to simulate the electrochemical interface between individual faces of a single crystal of silver and aqueous solutions containing the fluoride ion. It is assumed that the adsorption potential may be represented as the sum of two contributions, one of which describes the metal–ion interaction and the other, the ion solvation energy. The plotted adsorption terms take into account partial degradation of the fluoride ion when adsorbed from an aqueous solution. Estimates of discreteness of the electrical double layer are presented. A conclusion on the maximum manifestation of specific adsorption of the fluoride ion for the Ag(100) face is made.Translated from Elektrokhimiya, Vol. 41, No. 2, 2005, pp. 232–238.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Nazmutdinov, Zinkicheva.This revised version was published online in April 2005 with corrections to the article note and article title and cover date.     

Direct electron transfer reaction of glucose oxidase at bare silver electrodes and its application in analysis

The direct electron transfer reaction of glucose oxidase (GOx) at a bare silver electrode is verified. The electron transfer number n = 2, electron transfer coefficient α = 0.45 and rate constant of the electrochemical reaction K_s = 0.1 s⁻¹ are obtained. This communication presents a multimolecular adsorption model to explain the properties of the direct electron reaction between GOx and bare silver electrodes. The residual valence force may be an important factor to ensure a direct electron transfer reaction on the bare electrode. On the basis of the experimental fact that only biologically active GOx exhibits electrochemical activity in solution, a facile analytical method for analyzing the active GOx concentration is developed. The results determined correspond very well to that of a spectrometric method.     

Characterization of peptides by liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization mass spectrometry using silver nitrate as a post-column complexant

Two model peptides, des-Arg1-bradykinin (DAB) and bradykinin (B), were cationized by Ag+ after their separation by reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC) prior to mass spectrometry (MS). Silver nitrate solution was used as a post-column reagent. The RPLC and MS experimental conditions were optimized using flow injection in order to obtain sufficiently abundant silver adducts to permit MS/MS experiments. The use of water-methanol with 0.1% formic acid as mobile phase allowed a good chromatographic separation of the two peptides with a polymeric stationary phase and sufficiently abundant silver-containing adducts, [M + Ag + H]2+ and [M + 2Ag]2+. The gas-phase dissociation of [DAB + Ag + H]2+ and [DAB + 2Ag]2+ led to interpretable mass spectra during the on-line cationization experiment. Most of the ions obtained by dissociating [DAB + Ag + H]2+ and [DAB + 2Ag]2+ species are silver-containing ions but the ions produced depend on the parent. The ions coming from the dissociation of the doubly charged silver adducts [DAB + Ag + H]2+ or [DAB + 2Ag]2+ are of interest compared with those coming from the singly charged silver species or doubly charged protonated species. The fragmentation of the doubly charged silver adducts provides ions over the entire mass range. Although the presence of several prolines in des-Arg1-bradykinin prevents the formation of some expected ions, the observation of triplets [an-H + Ag]+, [bn-H + Ag]+ and [bn + OH + Ag]+ produced by the dissociation of on-line Ag(+)-cationized peptides could contribute to greater success of automatic sequencing of peptides.

In situ neutron powder diffraction investigation of the hydration of tricalcium aluminate in the presence of gypsum

The hydration of a 1:3 molar ratio of tricalcium aluminate, Ca₃Al₂O₆, to gypsum, CaSO₄·2D₂O, was investigated at temperatures of 25, 50, and 80 °C using time-of-flight powder neutron diffraction combined with multiphase Rietveld structural refinement. It was shown that ettringite, Ca₆[Al(OD)₆]₂(SO₄)₃·∼26D₂O, was the first and only hydration product of the system, in contrast to a prior investigation which suggested the occurrence of a precursor phase prior to the formation of ettringite. Kinetics data showed that the hydration reaction is very sensitive to temperature: hydration at 25 °C was characterized by a single kinetic regime while hydration at higher temperatures consisted of two distinct kinetic regimes. The presence of two kinetic regimes was attributed to a change in either the dimensionality of the growth process or a change in the rate controlling mechanism in the hydration reaction.     

Structural and electrical changes in NdSrNiO4−δ by substitute nickel with copper

A novel series of the formula NdSrNi_1−xCu_xO_4−δ were synthesized for various values of x ranging from 0 to 1 in 1 atm of O₂ gas flow using conventional solid-state methods and were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction and electrical resistivity measurements. The compounds have been shown to adopt the K₂NiF₄-type structure. The oxygen stoichiometry of the compounds was determined from thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA). An analysis of the micro-structure of the neodymium strontium nickel copper oxide is described. All the samples were semi-conducting from room temperature down to 77 K. The effect of Cu²⁺ incorporation on the structural and electrical properties of NdSrNi_1−xCu_xO_4−δ, 0?x?1, are discussed in terms of Jahn-Teller distortion of the (Ni/Cu)O₆ octahedra and mixed valence character of copper.

Reactivity and Structural Properties of a Mechanochemically Treated Ag2O-V2O5 System in Relation to AgVO3 Polymorphs

Formation and chemical properties of amorphous AgVO₃, which was prepared by mechanochemical treatment of an Ag₂O-V₂O₅ mixture, and crystalline AgVO₃ were studied in relation to AgVO₃ polymorphs. A ball-milled sample of the mixture was assigned as a highly deformed β-AgVO₃ rather than the low density phase α-AgVO₃. Crystalline α-AgVO₃ and β-AgVO₃ were converted into deformed β-AgVO₃ by ball milling, which produced a clear change. δ-AgVO₃ is resistant to mechanical treatment and its structure was not markedly affected. The dissolved chemical species from the ball-milled sample precipitates to form α-AgVO₃ without a seeding crystal, but other polymorphs deposit if they are present; i.e., β-AgVO₃ and δ-AgVO₃ grow on the seeding crystal.
