Stop times in fock space stochastic calculus

Summary A stop time S in the boson Fock space over L ₂()₊ is a spectral measure in [0,] such that {S([0,t])} is an adapted process. Following the ideas of Hudson [6], to each stop time S a canonical shift operator U ^Sis constructed in . When S({}) has the vacuum as a null vector U ^Sbecomes an isometry. When S({})=0 it is shown that admits a factorisation _S]{S where _{S is the range of U ^Sand _S] is a suitable subspace of called the Fock space upto time S. This, in particular, implies the strong Markov property of quantum Brownian motion in the boson as well as fermion sense and the Dynkin-Hunt property that the classical Brownian motion begins afresh at each stop time. The stopped Weyl and fermion processes are defined and their properties studied. A composition operation is introduced in the space of stop time to make it a semigroup. Stop time integrals are introduced and their properties constitute the basic tools for the subject.     

Substitutions of coordinated salicylaldehyde and its Schiff bases

Summary Several bis/tris-salicylaldehyde, salicylaldimine and salicyalethylenediimine chelates of cobalt(III), chromium(III), cobalt(II), nickel(II) and copper(II) readily react with various brominating agents and undergo α-bromo/cyano/succinimido substitution, with or without accompanying bromine substitution of the aryl ring. The selectivity of these reactions on the metal-coordinated salicylaldehyde derivatives allows the preparation in 50–80% yield of hitherto unreported specific α-bromo products. The substituted organic compounds could be isolated by demetallation of the chelate products.

EXAFS studies of cobalt oxides and oxide glasses

The exafs of Co²⁺ has been studied in rare earth cobaltites and in sulphate and borate glasses. It has been found that the environment of Co²⁺ ions is very similar in these cases. It appears feasible to study local structures in glasses using probe ion exafs. Communication No. 151 from the Solid State and Structural Chemistry Unit.

Permeation liquid membrane for trace metal speciation in natural waters. Transport of liposoluble Cu(II) complexes

In this paper, the transport of Cu(II) in the presence of lipophilic Cu(II) organic complexes through permeation liquid membranes (PLMs) have been investigated. In natural waters, small organic compounds, which form liposoluble neutral complexes with Cu(II), are potentially toxic and bioavailable. Hence, to understand the role of liposoluble Cu(II) complexes in natural waters, four organic ligands: phthalic acid, bipyridyl, pyrocatechol and hydroxyquinoline, which form uncharged or lipophilic Cu(II) complexes, were tested. The results showed that the transport of lipophilic Cu(II) complexes through PLM depends on the lipophilicity of the complex. Applications of PLMs in natural waters are presented.
