Mössbauer and infrared spectroscopic studies of novel mixed valence states in cobaltous ferrocyanides and ferricyanides

Novel mixed valence states have been obtained by the treatment of cobaltous ferrocyanides (Co⁺²Fe^II) and ferricyanides (Co⁺²Fe^III) in an ozone flow. The CN stretching bands occur at 2085 cm^–1 for Co⁺²Fe^II and at 2160 cm^–1 for Co⁺²Fe^III. After the ozonization process of Co⁺²Fe^II, an intense band approximately at 2125 cm^–1 is detected. This intermediate band must correspond to a mixed valence state of the type: Fe^II–CN–Co²⁺–NC–Fe^III Mössbauer spectra recorded in situ during the ozonization of Co⁺²Fe^II show the presence of two components: a doublet with isomer shift and quadrupole splitting values close to the cobalti ferricyanide and a very broad line for the mixed valence state. From the Mössbauer and infrared spectra of the aged samples of the Co⁺²Fe^II after ozonization, a relaxation process to the initial state of the samples is observed but the mixed valence state is stable.     

Zur „Rückdiffusion“ bei Quecksilberextrusionselektroden

An investigation has been carried out on the influence of the velocity of voltage change, of the radius of the capillary and of the size of the electrodes on the decrease of the peak current caused by back-diffusion in anodic amalgam voltammetry.     

Untersuchungen zur elektrochemischen Simultanbestimmung von Blei und Zinn

Zusammenfassung Die starke Temperaturabhängigkeit des polarographischen Zinn(II/0)-Signals in Lösungen des vierwertigen Zinns ermöglicht bei –32° C in methanolischer salzsaurer Grundlösung die Bestimmung des Bleis neben hohem Zinnüberschuß. Eine Anwendung des Verfahrens zur wechselstrompolarographischen Bestimmung des Bleis in Rohzinn wird beschrieben.

Investigations on the simultaneous electrochemical determination of lead and tinII. Polarographic determination of lead in the presence of tin at lower temperatures

Summary The strong temperature dependence of the polarographic tin(II/0) signal in solutions containing tin(IV) renders possible the determination of lead in the presence of a high excess of tin at working temperatures of –32° C in hydrochloric methanol as supporting electrolyte solution. An application of the procedure to the ac-polarographic determination of lead in crude tin is described.

Flow fluorimetric investigations on reaction kinetics of a growing analytical bioreactor

The turnover of a small continuously stirred tank reactor with variable volume is measured by two independent methods simultaneously: conventional flow-through fluorimetry is used for integral measurement of the total turnover and flow-through impulse fluorimetry for measurement of the dispersed turnover of the particles themselves. The hydrolysis of resorufin-β-d-galactopyranoside by β-galactosidase immobilized on Sepharose 4B and on Eupergit C serves as fluorogenic reaction. All parameters (flow rates, stirrer speed, concentrations, gel particle density and growth functions) are controlled by a computer. The allometric turnover kinetics of the growing bioreactor are compared with those of growing organisms.     

Vergleichende Untersuchungen an polarographischen Analysenverfahren

The universal voltammetric instrument, described in part I of this series, is used for comparative studies on the most important polarographic methods, direct current, derivative pulse, simple and phase-sensitive alternating current, double-tone, and harmonic-wave polarography. In general the peak-heights of these methods are influenced in the same measure by the composition of base electrolyte. In single cases characteristic differences are observed.
