Mechanism of oxidative allyl transfer from allylic ammonium cations to palladium(0) α-diimine complexes
1996
Abstract The palladium(0) complex [Pd(η2-fn)(NN′)] (1, fn = fumaronitrile; NN′ = C5H4N-2-CH=NC6H4OME-4) reacts slowly and reversibly with A + CH 2 CH=CH 2 (2a, A = NEt 3 ; 2 b , A = C 5 H 5 N ) to yield the cationic η3-allypalladium(II) derivative [ Pd (η[ 3 - C 3 H 5 )( N N ′)] + (3) the free amine A and fn. The equilibrium constant Ke is (2.6 ± 0.1) × 10−3 for 2a and 1.0 ± 0.4 for 2b. Kinetic studies of these oxidative allyl-transfer reactions show that the rates increase with increasing concentration of 2 and with decreasing concentration of fn. A stepwise mechanism is proposed which involves slow and reversible displacement of fn by 2 to give a labile intermediate [ Pd (η 2 - CH…
Application of the Dang‐Van criterion for life determination under uniaxial random tension–compression with different mean values
2004
In this paper the experimental fatigue lives of specimens made of 10HNAP steel with the lives calculated with the Goodman and Gerber methods of cycle amplitude transformation and the Dang Van criterion for uniaxial loading are compared. Cycles were counted with the rain flow algorithm and damage was accumulated according to the Palmgren-Miner hypothesis. This paper includes comparison of the results for constant amplitude loading with a non-zero mean value and for random loading with zero or non-zero mean values. It has been shown that for 10HNAP steel the algorithm of fatigue life calculations using the Dang Van criterion gives satisfactory results.
FT-IR quantitative analysis of solvent mixtures by the constant ratio method
1999
Abstract An analytical methodology to quantify compounds in complex mixtures by FTIR spectroscopy is proposed and the “Constant Ratio Method” (CRM) was developed. The addition of a standard to the sample allows us to establish a constant KMS characteristic of the Analyte/Standard system which can be employed as a quantification factor of the analyte in different samples . In the proposed method the measurements are independent of optical path length. This method has been successfully applied to quantify butylacetate and toluene in binary and tertiary samples and tertiary mixtures. Butylacetate/toluene/nujol have been resolved employing valeronitrile as standard, obtaining values for relativ…
Capillary electrokinetic fractionation mass spectrometry (CEkF/MS): Technology setup and application to metabolite fractionation from complex samples…
2014
Capillary electrokinetic fractionation (CEkF) is investigated as a new, simple, and robust approach for semipreparative and analytical sample analysis based on pKa -dependant pH-driven electrophoretic mobility. CEkF was optimized with contactless conductivity detection and conducted with 10 kV reverse voltage for 10 min, then coupled on/at-line to ESI/MS. We propose a semi-empirical model with 14 representative compounds based on the correlation between sample/medium pH regulating the partial charge, the electrokinetic loading of the capillary and intensity (I) of analytes. According to the model, an empirical function (I = f (pH)) could be derived to calculate the acid dissociation constan…
Observation of interaction forces by investigation of the influence of eluent additives on the retention behavior of aqueous nanoparticle dispersions…
2020
The investigation and subsequent understanding of the interactions of nanomaterials with components of their surrounding media is important to be able to evaluate both potential use cases as well as potential risks for human health and for the environment. To investigate such interactions, asymmetrical flow field-flow fractionation (AF4) is an interesting analytical tool. This statement grounds on the fact that interactions of the analyte with the membrane and with components of the eluent are crucial for the retention behavior of the analyte within the field-flow fractionation (FFF) channel. Therefore, the investigation of the retention behavior provides an insight in the nature of the int…
Thermodynamic Study of Small Hydrophobic Ions at the Water–Lipid Interface
2001
Abstract The thermodynamics of binding of two small hydrophobic ions such as norharman and tryptophan to neutral and negatively charged small unilamellar vesicles was investigated at pH 7.4 using fluorescence spectroscopy. Vesicles were formed at room temperature from dimyristoyl phosphatidylcholine (DMPC) or DMPC/dimyristoylphosphatidic acid and DMPC/dimyristoylphosphatidylglycerol. The changes in fluorescence properties were used to obtain association isotherms at variable membrane surface negative charge and at different ionic strengths. The binding of both ions was found to be quantitatively enhanced as the percentage of negative phospholipid increases in the membrane. Also, a decrease …
Application of a Novel Refinement Method for Accurate Determination of Chemical Diffusion Coefficients in Electroactive Materials by Potential Step T…
2005
We describe application of a novel refinement method for an accurate determination of the chemical diffusion coefficient, D, and the generalized kinetic parameter, A, from experimental potentiostatic intermittent titration technique (PITT) data suited for a variety of electrochemically doped electroactive polymers and inorganic intercalation host materials. The proposed, simple, two-step refinement procedure, based on earlier derived analytical expressions for the PITT response, is exemplified by the analysis of chronoamperometric responses to small-amplitude potential perturbation for p- and n-doped poly(fluorenone-bithiophene) (PFDOBT-HH) thin film electrode. The initial p-doping and the …

Dynamics of thick discs around Schwarzschild-de Sitter black holes
2003
We consider the effects of a cosmological constant on the dynamics of constant angular momentum discs orbiting Schwarzschild-de Sitter black holes. The motivation behind this study is to investigate whether the presence of a radial force contrasting the black hole's gravitational attraction can influence the occurrence of the runaway instability, a robust feature of the dynamics of constant angular momentum tori in Schwarzschild and Kerr spacetimes. In addition to the inner cusp near the black hole horizon through which matter can accrete onto the black hole, in fact, a positive cosmological constant introduces also an outer cusp through which matter can leave the torus without accreting on…
No-core configuration-interaction model for the isospin- and angular-momentum-projected states
2016
[Background] Single-reference density functional theory is very successful in reproducing bulk nuclear properties like binding energies, radii, or quadrupole moments throughout the entire periodic table. Its extension to the multi-reference level allows for restoring symmetries and, in turn, for calculating transition rates. [Purpose] We propose a new no-core-configuration-interaction (NCCI) model treating properly isospin and rotational symmetries. The model is applicable to any nucleus irrespective of its mass and neutron- and proton-number parity. It properly includes polarization effects caused by an interplay between the long- and short-range forces acting in the atomic nucleus. [Metho…
