Comparative energies of Zn(II) cation localization as a function of the distance between two forming cation position aluminium ions in high-silica zeolites

Periodical calculations of Zn(II) metal cation stabilization in cationic positions with distantly placed aluminium ions has been performed for high-silica ferrierite. It was found that decrease of the stabilization energy at large distances between Al ions (more than 10 Å) is about of 2 eV in comparison with nearest possible position of two Al ions in the zeolite lattice and weekly depended on following increase of the Al-Al distance. Main changes in stabilization energy occured within a 3-Å interval of these distances. Only for the localizations of both Al ions in one zeolite ring zinc cationic form is more stable than hydrogen form.     

Capillary electrophoresis of Cr(VI) reducer Arthrobacter oxydans

Rapid and effective separation of bacteria Arthrobacter oxydans was performed using capillary electrophoresis. For optimal separation of bacteria the influence of buffer concentration, pH and applied voltage were studied. It was found that the most appropriate conditions for electrophoretic mobility measurements are as follows: applied voltage 6-14 kV; buffer concentration 5-10 mM pH 6-8. At the stationary phase of growth there are always two main heterogeneous peaks. They are connected with the morphology of bacteria as well as with cell aggregation. The heterogeneity of samples may be explained by surface modifications of bacterial cells.     

Characterization of three agave species by gas chromatography and solid-phase microextraction-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry

Steam distillation (SD) extraction-solid-phase microextraction coupled to GC-MS was developed for the determination of terpenes and Bligh-Dyer extraction-derivatization coupled with GC for the determination of fatty acids such as ethyl esters were used. It was found that the three different Agave species have the same profile of fatty acids; the quantity of these compounds is different in each Agave variety. On the other hand, different terpenes were identified in the three Agave plants studied: nine in A. salmiana, eight in A. angustifolia and 32 in A. tequilana Weber var. azul.

A doubly deprotonated form of calix[6]arene: Crystal and molecular structure of (calix[6]arene-2H)2−·(HNEt 3 + )2

The doubly deprotonated form of calix[6]arene, with two protonated triethylamines as counter-ions, crystallizes in the monoclinic system: space groupP2₁/n,a=8.465(4),b=17.822(8),c=15.182(6) Å,=90.18(4)°,V=2291(2) ų,Z=2. Refinement led to a final conventionalR value of 0.063 for 1046 reflections. The macrocycle conformation is not apinched cone, usual for freeR-calix[6]arene, but a distorted 1,2,3-alternate cone, since the molecule lies on a symmetry center. Furthermore, one of the torsion angles defined by the methylene bridges is near to zero, which is unusual in calixarene structures. Supplementary Data relating to this article (atomic coordinates for hydrogen atoms, anisotropic displacement parameters for oxygen and nitrogen atoms, and observed and calculated structure factors) are deposited with the British Library as Supplementary Publication No. SUP 82182 (7 pages).     

Über o-Diphenolgermaniumsäuren Polarographische,potentiometrische und optische Untersuchungen

Zusammenfassung Analog der Brenzcatechingermaniumsäure geben die komplexen Germaniumsäuren von Pyrogallol und 2,3-Dihydroxynaphthalin-6-sulfonsäure in saurer Lösung (pH<4,0) an der Hg-Tropfelektrode relativ positiv liegende Reduktionsstufen, die in Abhängigkeit vom pH, von der Ionenstärke, von der o-Diphenol-sowie von der Ge-Konzentration untersucht wurden. Ferner wurde festgestellt, daß der Grenzstrom durch Diffusion kontrolliert wird und daß bei der Reduktion je Ge-Atom 4 Elektronen aufgenommen werden. Mit Hilfe derJ obschen Methode der kontinuierlichen Variation wurde potentiometrisch und spektrophotometrisch die Zusammensetzung der in Lösung befindlichen Komplexe zu 1 Ge: 3 Phenol bestimmt.Mit 13 AbbildungenHerrn Prof. Dr.J.

Evaluation of a synergetic effect between Rh as permanent chemical modifier and acetylacetone as complexing agent in Sc determination in sediment slurry samples by ETAAS

In the present work, scandium was determined in sediment slurry samples (from three different rivers) by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (ETAAS). Slurries were prepared by weighting 100 mg of dry sediment samples (≤53 μm particle sizes) and adding 6 ml of HCl:HNO₃:HF (3:1:2, v/v). Accurate results were only possible due to the synergetic effect between Rh as permanent chemical modifier and acetylacetone (Acac) as complexing agent. The same platform was used for 400 heating cycles. The performance of the chemical modification was evaluated by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), synchrotron radiation X-ray fluorescence (SRXRF) and some figures of merit (precision and detectability). The best analytical conditions were attained using 1500 and 2550 °C as pyrolysis and atomization temperatures. The scandium content in the liquid phase of the slurries ranged from 61 to 73%, thus indicating, in this study, that both liquid and solid phases play an important role in slurry analyses. An amount of 5.0–20.0 μg l⁻¹ Sc linear range as well as LOD and LOQ of 0.19 and 0.62 μg l⁻¹, respectively, were obtained under these conditions. The accuracy was checked by using microwave-assisted decomposition, and the results compared to those obtained with the proposed methodology (slurry analysis). By checking both sets of the results, there is no statistical difference at the 95% confidence levels.     

Antiferromagnetic coupling in [Mn<Subscript>12</Subscript>O<Subscript>12</Subscript>(O<Subscript>2</Subscript>CMe)<Subscript>6</Subscript>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-CO<Subscript>2</Subscript>-phenyl nitronyl

The synthesis of [Mn₁₂O₁₂(O₂CMe)₆(p-CO₂-phenyl nitronyl nitroxide)₁₀(H₂O)₄]· 4H₂O, (1), by direct replacement of some of the acetate groups in [Mn₁₂O₁₂(O₂CMe)₁₆(H₂O)₄] · 4H₂O · 2MeCO₂H, (2), with the organic radical p-HO₂C-phenyl nitronyl nitroxide, (3), is reported. E.p.r. spectra show exchange narrowing in (1) due to coupling between the manganese ions and radicals. The isotropic hyperfine splitting constant from the manganese ions is a = 96 Oe at 5.5K. The magnetic susceptibility indicates antiferromagnetic exchange interactions between the manganese ions and the radicals with the Weiss constant = -25 K. The spin was determined to be S = 6 from magnetization data in the 2--30 K temperature range at 50 kOe, suggesting a mixture of ground state with excited states.
