Side effects in measurements of selectivity coefficients of solid state ion selective electrodes

The influence of various factors such as solubility, the oxidation of the membrane, and the contamination of the solution, on the experimental values of the selectivity coefficients of solid state sulphide ion selective electrodes is discussed. A new method for the evaluation of very small selectivity coefficients, based on the addition of reagents forming complexes or insoluble salts with the main ion, is proposed. By means of this method, selectivity coefficients for silver, copper, cadmium and lead ion selective electrodes have been determined, which are in far better agreement with thermodynamic values than those described in the literature.

Processing and characterization of Pb(Mg,Nb)O3-PbTiO3 thin films from metal alkoxide-derived gels

The sol-gel processing is one of promising methods to fabricate well-derived integrated thin films at relatively low temperature. Ferroelectric niobates films do afford the possibilities for adding the values by the hybridization with semiconductor and/or electro-optic systems. The molecular level designing of the precursor solution was stressed as well as the control of key processing factors. The advantages of this sol-gel have been extended to prepare the ferroelectric Pb(Mg, Nb)O₃-PbTiO₃ solid solution films integrated on Si wafers. The crystallization of the films with desired crystal structure could be promoted by the controlled partial hydrolysis of designed alkoxide solution in the intermediate state and the pre-heated treatment of alkoxide-derived films in flow of water vapor and oxygen gas mixture.

Synthese und Struktur des ersten ternären Blei(II)-Oxocuprats(I): PbCu2O2

Synthesis and Structure of the First Ternary Lead(II) Copper(I) Oxide: PbCu₂O₂ PbCu₂O₂ can be prepared by solid state reaction or by precipitation from a basic aqueous solution. Single crystals of the new compound were prepared by recrystallisation from a molten mixture (PbO? Cu₂O) and investigated by X-ray diffractometer technique. PbCu₂O₂ crystallizes isotypically with the homologue silver compound PbAg₂O₂ (monoclinic with a = 8.22₃ Å, b = 8.28₉ Å, c = 6.01₅ Å, β = 132.6₂°, Z = 4, space group C? C 1 2/c 1). The crystallographic data from the X-ray investigation are reported. The structure is built by endless [PbO_4/4]- and [CuO_2/4]-chains. Pb²⁺ has a one-sided asymmetric coordination with four next oxygen neighbours and Cu⁺ forms a stretched dumbbell with two oxygen atoms.     

Phase transitions in ternary caesium lead bromide

Phase transitions in ternary caesium lead bromide (CsPbBr₃) were studied by means of DSC, TMA and high temperature X-ray diffraction. The samples were prepared from the solution by water evaporation and from the melt. on the DSC curves as well as on the temperature dependence of the lattice constants of CsPbBr₃ only two effects were found belonging to the earlier published phase transitions at 88 and 130°C and no further effects. Linear thermal expansion coefficient α of individual CsPbBr₃ modifications were calculated from both TMA and high temperature X-ray diffraction. The structural parameters of the room temperature orthorhombic phase were refined and the results are presented. CsPbBr₃ prepared from the solution contained about 10% of CsPb₂Br₅ and so the DSC curve of pure CsPb₂Br₅ was also measured and an effect at a temperature of 68.5°C was found. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Synthesis and crystal structure of ternary molybdate compound K<Subscript>5</Subscript>Pb<Subscript>0.5</Subscript>Hf<Subscript>1.5</Subscript>(MoO<Subscript>4</Subscript>)<Subscript>6</Subscript>

Single crystals of triple molybdate of composition 5:1:3 K₅Pb_0.5Hf_1.5(MoO₄)₆ have been grown and their crystal structure has been solved from X-ray diffraction data (an automated diffractometer X8 APEX, MoK _α -radiation, 2173 F(hkl), R = 0.0321). Trigonal unit cell parameters are: a = b = 10.739(2) Å, c = 37.933(9) Å; V = 3789(1) ų, Z = 6, ρ_calc = 4.014 g/cm³, space group \(R\bar 3\). Three-dimensional mixed framework of the structure is formed by two types of MoO₄ tetrahedra and Pb and Hf octahedra linking via common O-vertices. Potassium atoms of three types occupy large vacancies in the framework.     

Blood lead monitoring in Italy: Assessment of the quality of results obtained between 1992 and 1994

Between 1992 and 1994, a new screening campaign for blood Pb monitoring in the Italian general population was carried out. Since the first campaign (started in 1978, in accomplishment of the European Community Directive 77/312/EEC) a working group of the Laboratory of Clinical Biochemistry at the Italian National Institute of Health (Istituto Superiore di Sanità), as the Reference Centre (RC), has coordinated the activity of various laboratories spread over the national territory. Appropriate quality assurance procedures, including an external quality assessment scheme (EQAS), were elaborated. Within the EQAS, three or four trials were carried out every year. Each laboratory participating in the trial analyzed eight control samples prepared from cow blood at different Pb concentrations. The results obtained by each peripheral laboratory and the RC between 1992 and 1994 have been compared by regression analysis. The same statistical method was adopted to compare the results obtained by each peripheral laboratory and the RC in the duplicate analysis of about 10 per cent of the human samples collected during the 1992–1994 monitoring campaign. There was no evidence of systematic differences between the regression lines obtained on control and human samples. In spite of the lower Pb concentration in the control samples analyzed during the 1992–1994 campaign, the analytical performance of the laboratories was better than that obtained in the previous screening campaign (1985–1986). Blood Pb levels observed in human samples collected between 1992 and 1994, confirm the downward time trend observed in the campaigns carried out in 1978–1979, 1980–1981 and 1985–1986. This study confirms that the results obtained in an EQAS are representative of the actual performance in the analysis of real (human) samples.     

Selective Transport of Lead(II) and Strontium(II) Through a Crown Ether-Based Polymer Inclusion Membrane Containing Dialkylnaphthalenesulfonic Acid

New polymer inclusion membranes (PIMs) containing 18-membered crownethers and dialkylnaphthalenesulfonic acid are proposed for Sr2+ and Pb2+removal from nitric acid solutions. The influence of source phasecomposition and stripping agents was characterized and permeabilitycoefficients were calculated. The PIMs are easy to prepare and may be usefulin separation and concentration procedures for these cations from complexmixtures such as nuclear waste. Long-term stability was obtained for atleast several weeks of constant use during which no significant change ofpermeability was observed.
