Theoretical Studies on the Si（001）-SiO2 Interface Structure

1 INTRODUCTION Silicon and its alloy have been widely applied in such fields as electronic industry, high-temperature structural ceramics, etc. In addition, the researches on silicon and its relevant materials greatly promote the rapid development of modern optics and infor- mation technology. Therefore, more and more at- tention is focused on the structure of silicon, oxide of silicon and the interfaces between silicon and metal or nonmetal. As an ideal passive film on the Si surface, S…

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of N-（1-Phenyl-3-methyl-4-benzal-pyrazolone-5）-furoic Hydrazide

1 INTRODUCTION In recent years, investigations on the com- pounds containing hydrazide or hydrazone moieties have been increased considerably because of their potentially biological activities, especially as poten- tial inhibitors for many enzymes[1～5]. The presence of weak molecular interactions such as hydrogen- bonding controls the conformational and structural features which are important to the drug action[6, 7]. We have synthesized the photochromic compounds of pyrazolone thiosemi…

1 INTRODUCTION 2-Aminochromene is an important class of com- pounds found as the main compounds of many natu- rally occurring products employed as cosmetics and pigments and utilized as potential biodegradeable agro- chemicals[1～3]. In recent years, montmorillonite in natural and ex- changed forms has received considerable attention in different organic syntheses because of its environ- mental compatibility, low cost, high selectivity, reusa- bility and operational simplicity[4], such as …     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of 1,4-Bis(2-hydroxymethylphenyl)-1,4-dioxabutane

1 INTRODUCTION Macrocyclic ligands and their metal complexes have received much attention due to their applications in ion transport, ion separation and as models in biomimic researches[1~7]. The synthetic methods of macrocyclic ligands and their metal complexes are mainly divided into three kinds[8]. The first one is synthesizing free ligand, then forming the metal complexes; the second is template synthesis; and the third is synthesizing the end-off or side-off precursor ligand, then c…     

Determination of six metals in galician red wines (in northwestern Spain) by capillary electrophoresis

A simple technique is described for the routine simultaneous capillary electrophoretic determination of 6 cations in wine. Separation was achieved on a fused silica capillary column with a UV-Cat-1, alpha-hydroxysobutyric acid and 18-crown-6-ether buffer at pH 4.5 and indirect UV detection at 214 nm. The content of magnesium, sodium, potassium, calcium, manganese, and lithium was determined. The method is quantitative, with recoveries in the 92-102% range, and linear over more than one order of magnitude. The precision is better than 2.5-3.4%. The method is sensible, with detection limits between 0.01 and 0.06 mg/L. Twenty-five red wines with a Certified Brand of Origin from Galicia (north-western Spain) were analyzed by the proposed method. Various wines showed very similar electrophoretic profiles, but significant quantitative differences were observed.     

The use of emulsions for the determination of methylmercury and inorganic mercury in fish-eggs oil by cold vapor generation in a flow injection system with atomic absorption spectrometric detection

An on-line time based injection system used in conjunction with cold vapor generation atomic absorption spectrometry and microwave-aided oxidation with potassium persulfate has been developed for the determination of the different mercury species in fish-eggs oil samples. A three-phase surfactant-oil-water emulsion produced an advantageous flow when a peristaltic pump was used to introduce the highly viscous sample into the system. The optimum proportion of the oil-water mixture ratio was 2:3 v/v with a Tween 20 surfactant concentration in the emulsion of 0.008% v/v. Inorganic mercury was determined after reduction with sodium borohydride while total mercury was determined after an oxidation step with persulfate prior to the reduction step to elemental mercury with the same reducing agent. The difference between total and inorganic mercury determined the organomercury content in samples. A linear calibration graph was obtained in the range 0.1-20 micrograms l-1 of Hg2+ by injecting 0.7 ml of samples. The detection limits based on 3 sigma of the blank signals were 0.11 and 0.12 microgram l-1 for total and inorganic mercury, respectively. The relative standard deviation of ten independent measurements were 2.8 and 2.2% for 10 micrograms l-1 and 8.8 and 9.0% for 0.1 microgram l-1 amounts of total and inorganic mercury, respectively. The recoveries of 0.3, 0.6 and 8 micrograms l-1 of inorganic and organic mercury added to fish-eggs oil samples ranged from 93.0 to 94.8% and from 100 to 106%, respectively. Good agreement with those values obtained for total mercury content in real samples by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry was also obtained, differences between mean values were < 7%. With the proposed procedure, 22 proteropterous catfish-eggs oil samples from the northwestern coast of Venezuela were measured; while the organic mercury lay in the range 2.0 and 3.3 micrograms l-1, inorganic mercury was not detected.
