C–S bond cleavage by cobalt: synthesis, characterization and crystal structure determination of 1,2-di-(o-salicylaldiminophenylthio)ethane and its Co…

2002

1,2-Di-(o-salicylaldiminophenylthio)ethane reacts with Co(II) salts to form a complex with oxidative cleavage of the C–S bond, to result in the formation of a Co(III) complex of the cleaved ligands.

A Multipurpose Instrument To Measure the Vitreous Properties of Charged Colloidal Solids

2001

We present a new high-precision light-scattering setup to study the properties of colloidal solids. It combines static light scattering, dynamic light scattering, and torsional resonance spectroscopy with a flexible and reliable preparational procedure. All three experiments can be performed quasi-simultaneously on the same mechanically undisturbed sample. Thus, unequivocal identification of glassy behavior in a comprehensive characterization dependent on interaction parameters becomes possible. A detailed description of the mechanics is given. We thoroughly tested the new apparatus on dilute colloidal samples and against commercial reference instruments. We performed a first systematic ser…

Quantitative Characterization of the Local Electrophilicity of Organic Molecules. Understanding the Regioselectivity on Diels−Alder Reactions

2002

Regional electrophilicity at the active sites of the reagents involved in polar Diels−Alder processes may be described on a quantitative basis using an extension of the global electrophilicity inde...

Chemical characterization of iron in atmospheric aerosols

1992

Abstract The total Fe content, the soluble fractions of Fe(II) and Fe(III), and several species of Fe were determined in various atmospheric aerosol samples by means of atomic absorption spectrometry, ion chromatography and Mossbauer spectrometry.

Detection and characterization of emerging psychoactive substances by ion mobility spectrometry

2014

Rapid detection and identification of novel psychoactive substances (NPS) continues to present significant analytical challenges to forensic and analytical chemists. Ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) has been traditionally considered as the analytical technique of choice to detect illicit drugs in security points in airports, borderlines and customs. Databases of the reduced mobility (K0 ) values of illicit drugs are available in the scientific literature and they should be completed with data of emerging designer drugs. In this paper, we have evaluated the effect of different measurement conditions and determined the K0 values of an important number of NPS including different families; such …

Molecular Characterization and Source Identification of Atmospheric Particulate Organosulfates Using Ultrahigh Resolution Mass Spectrometry.

2019

Organosulfates (OSs) have been observed as substantial constituents of atmospheric organic aerosol (OA) in a wide range of environments; however, the chemical composition, sources, and formation mechanism of OSs are still not well understood. In this study, we first created an "OS precursor map" based on the elemental composition of previous OS chamber experiments. Then, according to this "OS precursor map", we estimated the possible sources and molecular structures of OSs in atmospheric PM2.5 (particles with aerodynamic diameter ≤ 2.5 μm) samples, which were collected in urban areas of Beijing (China) and Mainz (Germany) and analyzed by ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) c…

Absolute optical chiral analysis using cavity-enhanced polarimetry

2021

Chiral analysis is central for scientific advancement in the fields of chemistry, biology, and medicine. It is also indispensable in the development and quality control of chiral compounds in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. Current methods for chiral analysis, namely optical polarimetry, mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance, are either insensitive, have low time resolution, or require preparation steps, and so are unsuited for monitoring chiral dynamics within complex environments: the current need of both research and industry. Here we present the concept of absolute optical chiral analysis, as enabled by cavity-enhanced polarimetry, which allows for accurate unambi…

Miniaturized liquid chromatography coupled on-line to in-tube solid-phase microextraction for characterization of metallic nanoparticles using plasmo…

2018

Abstract This tutorial aims at providing guidelines for analyzing metallic nanoparticles (NPs) and their dispersions by using methods based on miniaturized liquid chromatography with diode array detection (MinLC-DAD) and coupled on-line to in-tube solid-phase microextraction (IT-SPME). Some practical advice and considerations are given for obtaining reliable results. In addition, this work outlines the potential applications that set these methodologies apart from microscopy-related techniques, dynamic light scattering, single particle ICP-MS, capillary electrophoresis, field-flow fractionation and other chromatographic configurations, which are discussed and mainly seek to accomplish size …

Production, isolation and characterization of radiochemically pure 163Ho samples for the ECHo-project

2018

Abstract Several experiments on the study of the electron neutrino mass are based on high-statistics measurements of the energy spectrum following electron capture of the radionuclide 163Ho. They rely on the availability of large, radiochemically pure samples of 163Ho. Here, we describe the production, separation, characterization, and sample production within the Electron Capture in Holmium-163 (ECHo) project. 163Ho has been produced by thermal neutron activation of enriched, prepurified 162Er targets in the high flux reactor of the Institut Laue-Langevin, Grenoble, France, in irradiations lasting up to 54 days. Irradiated targets were chemically processed by means of extraction chromatogr…
