MO-LCAO Calculations of Polymethines

Idealized polymethines are defined as conjugated chain molecules with complete bond equilization and charge alternation. A constant π-bond order along the chain with N atoms has been derived for three types of polymethines which differ by the nature of the heteroatomic end groups. Corresponding to the number of π-electrons they are termined (N + 1)π-, Nπ- or (N ? 1)π-polymethines. This classification embraces closed shell as well as open shell systems. The relations for the energy eigenvalues, coefficients and derived quantities have been obtained in closed form. The results for the different classes of polymethines are strongly related. Their molecular properties should be similar.

Selektivierung geringer Mengen Kupfer mit Polyäthylenimin-Zellulose

Zusammenfassung Polyäthyleniminzellulosen sorbieren Cu²⁺ durch koordinative Bindung als Zentralion des sekundären Stickstoffs des Polyäthylenimins im P_H-Bereich 3,5 bis 4,5 selektiv aus verd. Lösungen. 10g Kupfer können von 10⁵fachen Überschüssen anderer Übergangsmetalle separiert, mit verd. Salzsäure eluiert und mit Diäthyldithiocarbamat photometrisch bestimmt werden. Das Verfahren eignet sich zur Erfassung von 0,001% Kupfer in Zink, Mangan, Kobalt, Nickel, Cadmium und Aluminium sowie aus Lösungen, deren Kupfergehalt 0,02 ppm beträgt.

Selectivation of small amounts of copper with polyethyleneimine-cellulose

Summary Polyethyleneimine celluloses selectively sorb Cu²⁺ from dilute solutions through coordinative bonding as central ion of the secondary nitrogen of polyethyleneimine in the p_H-range of 3.5–4.5. 10g of copper may be separated from 10₅-fold excesses of other transition metals, then eluted with dilute hydrochloric acid and determined photometrically with diethyldithiocarbamate. The method is suitable for determining 0.001% copper in zinc, manganese, cobalt, nickel, cadmium, and aluminium as well as in solutions whose coppercontent is 0.02 ppm.

     

Longitudinal nuclear relaxation measurements in hcp H2

Measurements of T₁ in the hep phase of H₂, over the temperature range 2°–12°K and the ortho concentration range between 0.5 and 0.97 are presented. At temperatures below 10°K, the thermally activated self-diffusion is negligible and the mechanism for nuclear relaxation is that attributed by Moryia and Motizuki and by Harris to intramolecular dipolar interaction, modulated by intennolecular electric quadrupole-quadrupole (EQQ) interaction. The gaussian approximation for the correlation function was used by these authors to predict T₁. From the comparison between experiment and theory, we determine the EQQ parameter Γ/k_B to be 0.67°K. Above 10°K the effect of diffusion influences T₁, and the experimental results for an 88 per cent ortho H₂ sample up to the melting point suggest that the relaxation mechanisms resulting from EQQ interaction and diffusion are not independent of one another.     

R?ntgenspektrometrische Goldbestimmung in sulfidischen Erzen nach chemischer Anreicherung

Zusammenfassung Es wird eine Goldbestimmung an sulfidischen Erzen für den Bereich von 0,05–5 ppm bei 20 g Einwaage beschrieben. Das Gold wird durch Salpetersäurebehandlung von den übrigen Metallen getrennt, mit Salzsäure/ Salpetersäure gelöst und mit Selen als innerem Standard und Tellur als Spurenfänger mittels Zinn(II)-chlorid gefällt. Der Niederschlag wird auf ein Membranfilter aufgezogen. Die Goldbestimmung erfolgt über den Impulsratenquotienten der Gold L- und Selen K-Linien. Die störende Molybdän K-Strahlung und die Comptonstreuung werden durch ein Zirkoniumblech auf dem Röhrenfenster unterdrückt. Der Variationskoeffizient beträgt 20% für 0,2–5 ppm und 53,6% für 0,05 ppm.

Summary A method is described for the determination of gold in sulphide ores within the concentration range of 0.05–5 ppm with sample weights of 20 g. Gold is separated from the other metals by treatment with nitric acid, dissolved by hydrochloric acid, containing some nitric acid, and is finally precipitated by stannous chloride applying selenium as internal standard and tellurium as collecting agent. The precipitate is mounted on a diaphragm filter and the determination of gold is carried out by X-ray analysis suppressing the disturbing Mo _K radiation and compton scattering by a zirconium sheet-metal on the X-ray tube. The pulse rate quotient of the lines Au _L /Se _K is a function of the concentration of gold. The variation coefficient is 20% for 0.2–5 ppm and 53.6% for 0.05 ppm.

Perfluororganocadmium-verbindungen als sehr wirksame perfluoralkylierungs- und perfluorphenylierungsmittel zur darstellung von perfluororganozinn- und -blei-verbindungen [1]

Perfluoroorgano tin and lead compounds can be prepared in high yields from the reactions of (CH₃)₃SnOCOCF₃ and (CH₃)₃Pb(OCOCF₃) with perfluoroorgano cadmium complexes. (CH₃)₃SiOCOCF₃ reacts with (CF₃)₂Cd complexes — probably via the intermediate (CH₃)₃SiCF₃ and CF₂ elimination — to form (CH₃)₃SiF and CF₃CdOCOCF₃ complexes. While the reaction of (CF₃)₂Cd·D with (CH₃)₃SnONO₂ yields CF₃NO as the only volatile product, (R_f)₂Cd·D (R_f  C₂F₅, iC₃F₇) forms R_fCdONO₂·D and (CH₃)₃SnR_f. The preparations and properties of the partly new compounds as well as the n.m.r. spectra are described.     

Equational partiality

A special kind of partiality of heterogeneous algebraic structures is introduced. Every operator of a heterogeneous operator domain is associated with a set of term equations as necessary and sufficient domain condition.It is shown that some kind of hierarchy condition for the system of domain equations is equivalent to the condition that every injective weak homomorphism is a strong homomorphism which is equivalent to the statement that every bijective weak homomorphism is an isomorphism.On the base of this result the notions of a quasi-variety and of a variety of equationally partial heterogeneous algebras are suggested. The class of all small categories becomes a standard example of a variety of equational partial heterogeneous algebras.Presented by V. Trnková.     

Duplex Stabilization of DNA: Oligonucleotides containing 7-substituted 7-deazaadenines

The oligonucleotide building blocks 4b–d derived from 7-bromo-, 7-chloro-, and 7-methyl-substituted 7-deaza-2′-deoxyadenosines 3b–d were prepared. They were employed in the solid-phase synthesis of the oligonucleotides 7–25 . The dA residues of the homomer d(A₁₂), the alternating d[(A-T)₆], and the palindromic d(G-T-A-G-A-A-T-T-C-T-A-C) were replaced by 3b–d as well as by the parent 7-deaza-2′-deoxyadenosine ( 3a ). The melting profiles and CD spectra of oligonucleotide duplexes, showing this major groove modification, were measured, and the T_m values as well as the thermodynamic data were determined. It was found that small substituents such as Br, Cl, or Me introduced in the 7-position of a 7-deazaadenine residue increase the duplex stability compared to oligonucleotides containing adenine.
