13 C 183W-Kopplungen als sonde für metall—carbin-, —carbenund—alkyl-bindungen

Carbon-13 NMR data are reported for trimethyltin derivatives containing ER_n groups where E  C, Si, Ge, Sn, N, O and S including a series of cyclic amines with ring sizes from three to seven. Coupling constant values for the homologous series of fourth group derivatives give goood correlations with the electronegativity of E. The observation of the two-bond, ¦ ²J(¹¹⁹SnE¹³C) ¦ couplings only in the derivatives containing bulky R groups is rationalized by a bimolecular exchange of ER_n groups in the concentrated solutions studied.     

Enzymic determination of cerebrospinal fluid lipid fractions

Colorimetric peroxidase-coupled procedures for the determination of several cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) lipid classes are described. These methods were modified to increase the effectiveness of each cerebrospinal fluid lipid assay by using the sample as the primary diluent for a highly concentrated reagent in an inverse concentration technique. Direct enzymic assays for the determination of CSF cholesterol (free and total), choline phospholipids, and triglycerides were adapted from existing assays to require less than 0.5 ml of sample per assay. This made determinations of the several lipid analytes possible even when samples were from pediatric specimens. In a study model, 51 pediatric CSF samples were analyzed for these lipid constituents. Mean values and standard deviations were determined. Within and between-run studies were performed by sampling from a pool of cerebrospinal fluid specimens. Within-run coefficients of variation for the several proposed procedures were less than 3% while the between-run findings for all of the procedures were less than 5%.     

Oral malodor,assessed by closed-loop,gas chromatography,and ion-trap technology

A method is described for the analysis of volatile organic compounds in saliva and tongue coating samples. The techniue is based on an off-line preconcentration step by means of a closed-loop trapping system followed by gas chromatography-ion trap detection. With the closed-loop technique, the volatile organic compounds(VOCs) are released from the matrix and trapped on an adsorbent without interference of water. The VOCs are released from the adsorbent into the gas chromatograph by thermdesorption. After separation, identification of the compounds is performed by ion trap technology. By this technique 82 compounds could be demonstrated in saliva and tongue coating samples. The technique is also used to demonstrate the formation of volatile bacterial fermentation compounds when a protein substrate is added to tongue coating samples. It is considered a very promising tool in further research on oral malodor.     

Magnetic susceptibilities of UO2ThO2 solid solutions

The magnetic susceptibility of UO₂ThO₂ solid solutions has been measured from room temperature to 2.0 K. The magnetic moment and the Weiss constant have been determined in the temperature range in which the Curie-Weiss law holds. For the solid solutions showing antiferromagnetic transition, the Néel temperature has been also determined. These values decrease monotonically with increasing ThO₂ concentration. The results were analyzed using the molecular field theory which includes the interaction between next-nearest neighbor spins. The interactions between nearest neighbor spins, J₁, and those between next-nearest neighbor spins, J₂, both decrease with increasing ThO₂ concentration. The change of J₁ with composition is larger than that of J₂. The effect of magnetic dilution with ThO₂ is considered to be stronger on the interaction between nearest neighbor uranium ions.     

Heat capacity and thermodynamic functions of MnBr2 · 4D2O and MnCl2 · 4D2O

The heat capacities of MnBr₂ · 4D₂O and MnCl₂ · 4D₂O have been experimentally determined from 1.4 to 300 K. The smoothed heat capacity and thermodynamic functions (H°_TH°₀) and S°_T are reported for the two compounds over the temperature range 10 to 300 K. The error in the thermodynamic functions at 10 K is estimated to be 3%. Additional error in the tabulated values arising from the heat capacity data above 10 K is thought to be less than 1%. A λ-shaped heat capacity anomaly was observed for MnCl₂ · 4D₂O at 48 K. The entropy associated with the anomaly is 1.2 ± 0.2 J/mole K.     

Intensities of wagging and rocking bands of water in MnCl2 · 2H2O and CoCl2 · 2H2O

IR relative integrated intensities and half-widths of rocking (R) and wagging (W) bands of water in MnCl₂ · 2H₂O and CoCl₂ · 2H₂O are presented at 300 K and 120 K. Departure of observed intensity into D_W/D_R from those predicted by the fixed dipole model is attributed to anisotropic dynamic changes in dipole during these oscillations. A quantity representing the variation of this anisotropy between W and R oscillations is computed and its origin is discussed. An increase by 20% to 50% in both D_W and D_R on lowering the temperature has also been discussed.     

Spinel, YbFe2O4, and Yb2Fe3O7 types of structures for compounds in the In2O3 and Sc2O3---A2O3---BO systems [A: Fe, Ga, or Al; B: Mg, Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu, or Zn] at temperatures over 1000°C

In the Sc₂O₃---Ga₂O₃---CuO, Sc₂O₃---Ga₂O₃---ZnO, and Sc₂O₃---Al₂O₃---CuO systems, ScGaCuO₄, ScGaZnO₄, and ScAlCuO₄ with the YbFe₂O₄-type structure and Sc₂Ga₂CuO₇ with the Yb₂Fe₃O₇-type structure were obtained. In the In₂O₃---A₂O₃---BO systems (A: Fe, Ga, or Al; B: Mg, Mn, Fe, Ni, or Zn), InGaFeO₄, InGaNiO₄, and InFe³⁺MgO₄ with the spinel structure, InGaZnO₄, InGaMgO₄, and InAlCuO₄ with the YbFe₂O₄-type structure, and In₂Ga₂MnO₇ and In₂Ga₂ZnO₇ with the Yb₂Fe₃O₇-type structure were obtained. InGaMnO₄ and InFe₂O₄ had both the YbFe₂O₄-type and spinel-type structures. The revised classification for the crystal structures of AB₂O₄ compounds is presented, based upon the coordination numbers of constituent A and B cations.     

Interaction of chloroform with aniline, o-toluidine and N,N-dimethyl aniline

Heats of mixing aniline, o-toluidine, and N,N-dimethyl aniline with chloroform have been determined by an adiabatic calorimeter. The results have been examined for molecular interactions between them, and they indicate that aniline and o-toluidine are associated through hydrogen bonds. Enthalpy of bond formation in a 1:1 complex has also been determined.     

Neutron diffraction study of the electrochemical passivation of nickel powder

With the aid of the Yamaoka mechanism and a.c. polarographic observables, rate constants for the homogeneous reduction of Co(III)pentammine complexes by Eu(II) are measured. Where comparison is possible, rate parameters obtained by this electrochemical procedure are found to be in good agreement with previous measurements by stopped-flow and pulse radiolysis procedures, with one exception. The order of reactivity for the halopentammineCo(III) complexes is found to follow the sequence RF²⁺>RCl²⁺>RBr²⁺>RI²⁺, where R=Co(III)(NH₃)₅³⁺. This and a pH dependence noted for the RF²⁺ case are suggestive of a predominantly inner sphere reaction pathway.     

Analytical properties of the amidooxime group. V. Thermometric study of 3,3′-oxy-, 3,3′-thio- and 3,3′-iminodipropioamidooxime

The thermometric behaviour of three amidooximes (3,3′-oxy-, 3,3′-thio- and 3,3′-iminodipropioamidooxime) is studied in order to evaluate the errors in their thermometric titration with HCl and the corresponding neutralization enthalpies from the analysis of the enthalpograms. The dissociation parameters (ΔG_i, ΔH_i and ΔS_i) of the three compounds at 25°C are evaluated from the pK_a values and neutralization enthalpies.
