Resolution of global signals using ratio differential pulse polarograms: Determination of p-nitroaniline and p-nitrotoluene in their mixture

Ratio differential pulse polarograms obtained by dividing the multianalyte and single analyte signals are proposed as a tool for resolution of global signals and quantification of the analytes from a qualitatively known mixture by differential pulse polarography (DPP) and related electroanalytical techniques. The influences of shape and position of the resolving function (DP polarograms of individual analyte) on the efficiency of resolution are discussed on simulated and experimental results. The method is applied for the determination of p-nitroaniline (NA) and p-nitrotoluene (NT) from their mixture in N,N′-dimethylformamide solutions with 0.1 M tetrabutylammonium iodide as supporting electrolyte, using an external calibration diagram and internal standard addition methods. NA and NT give one-electron DP polarographic peaks with 93 mV of peak separation and, therefore, show significant overlapping which depends on the concentration ratio of NA and NT in the mixture. The method is especially suitable for quantification of one analyte in the presence of a large excess of another analyte, because by division the component in excess is removed and the pseudo-ratio DPP of the minor component is clearly revealed in a way which is not possible by deconvolution using polynomial division or deconvolution by Fourier transforms.     

High temperature corrosion behaviour of M(Co,Ni)CrAIY-coatings on high temperature materials-microanalytical investigations

In our former investigations, the phenomenon high temperature corrosion (HTC) was described exemplarily on selected materialcoating combinations for blades of stationary gas turbines, mainly in the temperature region of up to 750° C. To answer the question, in which manner higher gas inlet and/or higher material surface temperature would influence the HTC behaviour, a special analytical technique—the integral layer profile analysis—was introduced to ameliorate concentration profile methods. By examining IN 738 LC specimens with CoCrAlY plasma spray coating, stressed by hot gas at 900° C, the limits of this system are shown by explaining the corrosion mechanism; the method is also used for other systems, e.g. U 520 with NiCrAlY coating at 750° C.     

Absolute configurations and circular dichroism of sesquiterpene-coumarin ethers

The absolute stereochemistry of 14 naturally occurring sesquiterpenecoumarin ethers is discussed. In 13 cases the coumarin moiety is isofraxidin (7-hydroxy-6,8-dimethoxycoumarin), in one case scopoletin (7-hydroxy-6-methoxycoumarin). The sesquiterpene moieties belong either to the bicyclic drimenole series or to its consecutive products (methyl migration, ring opening). The CD spectra of all compounds are given. The assignments of the absolute configurations are based on the method ofHoreau, chemical correlation by degradation reactions, extensive comparison of CD data, and biogenetic considerations.

Absolute Konfigurationen und Circulardichroismus von Sesquiterpen-Cumarin-Ethern

Zusammenfassung Es wird die absolute Stereochemie von 14 natürlich vorkommenden Sesquiterpen-Cumarin-Ethern diskutiert. In 13 Fällen wird die Cumarineinheit von Isofraxidin (7-Hydroxy-6,8-dimethoxycumarin) repräsentiert, in einem Fall von Scopoletin (7-Hydroxy-6-methoxycumarin). Der Sesquiterpenteil ist entweder von Drimenol oder Folgeprodukten (Methylgruppenwanderung, Ringöffnung) abgeleitet. Die CD-Spektren aller Verbindungen sind angegeben. Die Zuordnung der absoluten Konfigurationen basiert auf der Methode vonHoreau, chemischer Korrelation über Abbaureaktionen, Vergleich der CD-Spektren und biogenetischen Überlegungen.

     

Comparison of the effective core potential and model potential methods in studies of electron correlation energy in molecules: Dihalides and halogen hydrides

Summary The effective core potential and model potential methods were used in post-SCF calculations on HC1, HBr, Cl₂, and Br₂ in order to gain insight into the effect of insufficient representation of inner nodes in the valence orbitals of the approximate methods. The results show that while the correlation energy may be slightly overestimated (by 1–7%), both the electric moment functions and the quantities depending on energy differences are consistently similar for the methods studied and close to the results from all-electron calculations.Dedicated to Prof. Klaus Ruedenberg     

Transient multi pulse method for the determination of N2O - interaction with ZSM-5 type zeolites

Summary Multipulse experiments reveal qualitative and quantitative, time-resolved information about the interaction of N₂O with ZSM-5 type zeolites under conditions of catalytic applications, like the mechanism of N₂O decomposition, amount and reactivity of an atomic surface oxygen species.     

Synthesis and Structure of the New Ammonium Indium Phosphate (NH4)In(OH)PO4

A new ammonium indium phosphate (NH₄)In(OH)PO₄ was prepared by hydrothermal reaction in the In₂O₃-NH₄H₂PO₄-NH₃/OH system (T=200°C, autogenous pressure, 7 days). The formula (NH₄)In(OH)PO₄ was determined on the basis of chemical and thermal analysis (TG/DSC), X-ray powder diffraction and IR-spectroscopy. (NH₄)In(OH)PO₄ crystallizes in the tetragonal system with space group P4₃2₁2 (No. 96); a=9.4232(1) Å, c=11.1766(1) Å, V=992.45(2) ų; Z=8. The crystal structure was refined by the Rietveld method (R_w=6.35%, R_p=5.10%). The second-harmonic generation study confirmed that structure of (NH₄)In(OH)PO₄ does not have a center of symmetry. The cis-InO₄(OH)₂ octahedra form helical chains, parallel to the c-axis. The In-O-In bonds are nearly equidistant. The chains are interconnected by phosphate tetrahedra and create tunnels containing the NH₄⁺ ions along the c-axis. (NH₄)In(OH)PO₄ is isostructural with RbIn(OH)PO₄.
