HPLC studies of isomeric chromium-N-benzoylphenylhydroxylaminates

Summary N-Benzoylphenylhydroxylarnine complexes of some metals have been investigated by HPLC. The green chromium complex formed by this reagent shows conclusive evidence of the presence of geometrical isomers. It is photosensitive and changes to a brown modification when irradiated with ultra violet or visible light. Elution behaviour of the complexes has been studied with different solvent mixtures. Attempts have been made to characterize the complexes from different measurements.

Extraction—spectrophotometric determination of rhenium with 5,6-diphenyl-2,3-dihydro(asym)triazine-3-thione

The reagent 5,6-diphenyl-2,3-dihydro(asym)triazine-3-thione produces a green complex with perrhenate in hydrochloric acid medium in presence of stannous chloride. The complex on extraction in chloroform shows a peak at 685 nm. The system obeys Beer's law from 2–10 p.p.m. of rhenium and its molar absorptivity is 1.53-l0^-4. It tolerates the presence of a large number of ions, including Mo^XXX and W^XXX. Job's and molar ratio methods suggest that rhenium and the reagent are present in the ratio 1:2 and the isolated complex is of the same composition, i.e. ReO(C₂₅H₁₀N₃S)₂.

Kinetic and mechanistic studies of the displacement of aqua ligands from cis-[Cr(BigH)₂(H₂O)₂]³⁺ (BigH = H₂NC(NH)CHC(NH)NH₂) by pyridine-2-aldoxime (LH) in EtOH-H₂O mixtures, in the 30–45° C range, obey the following rate law over the 3.5–6.0 pH range,

Kinetics and mechanism of substitution of aqua ligands fromcis-diaqua-bis(bipyridyl ruthenium(II)) complex by salicylhydroxamic acid in aqueous medium

The kinetics of substitution of aqua ligands fromcis-[Ru(bipy)₂(H₂O)₂]²⁺ ion by salicylhydroxamic acid (L) in aqueous medium has been studied spectrophotometrically at different temperatures (50–65°C). The following rate law has been established in the pH range 4.0 to 5.8;

An algorithm for the global volume conservation constraint in lake circulation

We present an algorithm for introducing a global constraint of volume conservation in lake circulation problems. The algorithm is described for linear problems, and is then generalized to non-linear cases. Numerical examples are presented to show the influence of water-level conditions on convergence and to demonstrate the practical superiority of the global constraint algorithm for obtaining reliable convergent solutions.     

Ruthenium(III)-catalysed oxidation of thiocyanate by periodate in aqueous alkaline medium; autocatalysis in catalysis

The oxidation of thiocyanate by periodate has been studied in alkaline media. A micro quantity of Ru^III is sufficient to catalyse the reaction. The active catalytic species and oxidant in the reaction are understood to be [Ru(H₂O)₅OH]²⁺ and IO⁻ ₄. The autocatalysis exhibited by one of the products, cyanate, is attributed to adduct formation between cyanate and periodate. A composite mechanism and rate law are proposed. The reaction constants involved in the mechanism are evaluated. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Polymeric materials for lithium‐ion cells

Lithium‐ion (Li‐ion) cells have gained considerable attention in recent years as a power source for various applications owing to their high voltage, high energy density, low self‐discharge, and excellent cycle life. Polymeric materials play a pivotal role in the processing, performance, and safety of Li‐ion cells. The polymeric materials used in Li‐ion cells include: binder for electrode processing, separator, electrolyte, and electrode active material. Active research is being pursued in all of these areas to improve the energy density, power density, cycle life, and safety of Li‐ion cells. This review article gives an overview of the various polymeric materials used in Li‐ion cells and the recent advances in these materials. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Some new constructions of bivariate Weibull models

In this article, several approaches are advanced towards the construction of bivariate Weibull models from the consideration of failure behaviors of the components of a two-component system. First, a general method of construction of bivariate life models is developed in the setting of random environmental effects. Some new bivariate Weibull models are derived as special cases and added insights are provided for some of the existing ones. In the course of model formulation in terms of the dependence structure, a new bivariate family of life distributions is constructed so as to incorporate both positive and negative quadrant dependence in the same parametric setting, and a bivariate Weibull model is obtained as a special case. Finally, some distributional properties are presented for a bivariate Weibull model derived from the consideration of random hazards.
