Dependence of the catalytic activity of organoaluminum compounds and some of their complexes on their composition

The influence of the acidity of organoaluminum compounds and their complexes on the catalytic activity in polymerization of trioxane has been studied. It is found that the catalytic activity of organoaluminum compounds of the type R_nALX_3?n depends on n as well as the nature of R or X. Catalytic activity of the complexes also depends on the type of cocatalyst used. The change of electroconductivity in the course of formation of some initiator complexes has been studied and an attempt has been made to determine the relation between conductivity and polymerization activity.     

Anwendung der Streustrahl-Methode zur Bestimmung der Elemente in Mineral?lprodukten mit Hilfe der R?ntgenfluorescenz-Spektral-Analyse am Beispiel der Bleibestimmung in Ottokraftstoffen

Zusammenfassung In einem relativ einfach durchzuführenden Verbundverfahren wird Selen im Sauerstoff-strom innerhalb 15 min bei 1100–1150°C quantitativ aus den Metall- bzw. Metalloxidschmelzen verdampft und in einer mit flüssigem Stickstoff gekühlten Vorlage aufgefangen. Das aus der Vorlage mit einer definierten Menge verdünnter HNO₃ in Gegenwart von Ni-Nitrat gelöste Selen läßt sich direkt durch AAS mit dem Graphitofen (FAAS) äußerst nachweisstark und zuverlässig bestimmen. Die Nachweisgrenze (elektrodenlose Entladungslampe) liegt bei 3×10^–11 g Se. Der Verfahrensverbund erlaubt mit Probenmengen 10 g in Ag und Au Se-Gehalte 0,05 ppb,inCu 0,1 ppb,in Bi 0,2 ppb und in Pb 10 ppb zu erfassen. Für draht-, stab- und spanförmige Proben erhält man für Se-Gehalte von 2–0,002 ppm Variationskoeffizienten zwischen 3 und 6%. Die Vollständigkeit der Se-Verdampfung aus den Matrices Cu, Ag, Au und Bi wurde ebenso wie die Richtigkeit des Gesamtverfahrens durch systematische Untersuchungen belegt.

Determination of se by furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS) in the ppb-range in Cu, Cu alloys, Ag, Au, Pb and Bi after volatilization in an oxygen stream

Summary Selenium is evaporated in a multi-stage procedure within 15 min from metals or metal oxides fused at temperatures of 1100–1150°C under a stream of oxygen and is trapped in a receiver cooled with liquid nitrogen. The condensed SeO₂ is dissolved with a definite volume of diluted HNO₃ in the presence of Ni-nitrate and determined with high sensitivity and reliability by FAAS (electrodeless discharge lamp). The detection limit of the FAAS was found to be 3 · 10^–11 g of Se. The multi-stage procedure allows to detect Se levels 0.05 ppb in Ag and Au, 0.1 ppb in Cu, 0.2 ppb in Bi, and 10 ppb in Pb, respectively, with sample weights 10 g. For wire, rod, and chip samples the coefficients of variation are found to be between 3 and 6% for Se contents of 2 to 0.002 ppm. The quantitative evaporation of Se from Cu, Ag, Au, and Bi as well as the accuracy of the whole procedure have been checked systematically.

The alkylation of benzimidazole derivatives with γ-valerolactone

Reaction of 1, 3-dimethylbenzimidazolone and its 5-methyl and 5-chloro derivatives with -valerolactone in presence of anhydrous aluminum chloride gives the corresponding 6-(1-methyl-3-carboxypropyl)-benzimidazolones.     

Determination de L’oxygene et du fluor au moyen de l’activation par les photons γ et le comptage des neutrons retardes emis par17N

The activation of¹⁸O and¹⁹F by the reactions¹⁸O(γ, p)¹⁷N and¹⁹F(γ, 2p)¹⁷N was determined as a function of the maximum energy of the bremsstrahlung beam. By the use of this method it is possible to measure oxygen or fluorine by counting the delayed neutrons emitted by¹⁷N with a half-life of 4.2 sec.      

Contribution a l'etude de la determination du fluor a la surface des metaux par detection des photons gamma prompts de la reaction19F(p, αγ)16O

The 837 keV resonance is used for the rapid and non-destructive determination of the gradient of fluorine on the surface of metallic samples. The precise yield curve of this resonance for thick target and the experimental sensitivity of the method have been determined. With this method less than 5·10^?4 μg·cm^?2 fluorine content can be measured. The resolution is of the order of 1000 Å in aluminium and the concentration profiles can be measured to the depth of 1 μm. The time requirement of a surface analysis is 15–30 min, and 2–3 hrs of a gradient measurement. In addition, this method is simpler and more sensitive than the detection of the 1350 keV alpha-particles from the¹⁹F(p, α_o)¹⁶O reaction.

Determination des fonctions d'excitation des reactions19F(p, α0)16O et7Li(p, α0)4He entre 150 et 1800 keV

The experimental device used is described. Excitation functions are given for an angle of observation 150° with respect to the incident beam. The possibilities of applying these reactions to the measurement of surface lithium and fluorine concentrations are considered. The detection limits for these two elements are shown to be 5·10⁻³ μg·cm⁻² with protons of energy between 1,350 and 1,500 keV. The method is compared with that based on the detection of prompt γ-rays from the reactions⁷Li(p, γ)⁸Be and¹⁹F(p, α γ)¹⁶O.
