Trace element determination in sediments: a comparative study between neutron activation analysis (NAA) and inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrome…
2000
An inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) method has been employed for trace element determination in five real sediment samples and a standard reference material. These samples were mineralized by dry ashing at 550°C and fused at 1100°C for 30 min with lithium metaborate. Dissolved samples were measured by a semiquantitative methodology with external calibration and with Rh as an internal standard. More than 50 elements have been measured. As a reference technique, a direct analysis of the solid samples was carried out by neutron activation analysis. Results obtained by ICP-MS have been compared with those obtained by neutron activation analysis (NAA) by applying the paired …
Electrochemistry, spectroelectrochemistry and catalytic activity of biscobalt bisporphyrin dyads towards dioxygen reduction
2011
Three face-to-face biscobalt bisporphyrin dyads, including one incorporating a copper(II) ion inside the linker, were synthesized and characterized both spectroscopically and electrochemically in three non-aqueous solvents, dichloromethane, benzonitrile and pyridine. The electrocatalytic reduction of dioxygen with these derivatives on an electrode surface in 1.0 M HClO4 was also investigated and the results are compared to that obtained with "regular" Pacman biscobalt bisporphyrins under the same experimental conditions. Surprisingly, the tris-metal species ( Cu-bisCo ) catalyzes the reduction of O2 mainly via a 2e- transfer process, leading to H2O2 , while the bis-metal (bisCo) catalyst p…
Potassium silver thiocyanate
2001
The structure of K[Ag(SCN)2] forms a three-dimensional network consisting of seven-coordinated K atoms and four-coordinated Ag atoms connected together by bridging thiocyanate groups.
2,4-Dibromophenyl 2,6-dibromophenyl ether
2002
The title compound, C12H6Br4O, is the fourth well characterized of a total of potentially 209 different brominated diphenyl ethers. Salient intermolecular interactions are between ether O and aromatic C atoms, and between a bromine substituent and the aromatic ring system.
Über die polymeranaloge bromierung von naturkautschuk und einige lösungseigensch aften des bromkautschuks. Über die molekularen konstanten von naturk…
1961
Naturkautschuk last sich in verdunnter Losung in Cyclohexan bromieren, wobei das Molekulargewicht entsprechend dem Bromgehalt zunimmt (polymeranaloge Umsetzung). Fur Bromkautschuk steigenden Bromgehalts wird Cyclohexan ein zunehmend schlechteres Losungsmittel, was sich in einer Abnahme des 2. osmotischen Virialkoeffizienten und einer Kontraktion des Molekulknauels zeigt. Dieses Ergebnis wird in quantitativer Ubereinstimmung durch Viskositats- und Lichtstreuungsmessungen erhalten. Cyclohexanlosungen von Bromkautschuk mit 43% Brom haben bei Zimmertemperatur einen Θ-Punkt. In diesem Zustand ist der Knauel 1,74mal groser als bei freier Drehbarkeit, in ziemlich guter Ubereinstimmung mit dem an a…
Synthesis of Natural Products By Rhodium-Mediated Intramolecular C-H Insertion
1998
The strategic advantages of the Rh-mediated intramolecular C–H insertion, which has been used as the key step in several natural product syntheses, are described here. The most recent such synthesis is the elegant route to (+)-morphine shown below.
<title>Cerium-containing counter electrodes for transparent electrochromic devices</title>
1997
Films of Me-Ce oxide (Me: Ti, Zr, Sn, W) and of Ni-Ce hydroxide were produced by reactive magnetron co-sputtering. Li intercalation in Me-Ce oxide, and H exchange in Ni-Ce hydroxide, were accomplished electrochemically. Electrochromism was quenched in proportion with the Ce content in Me-Ce oxide. Films of Zr-Ce (and to some extent Ti-Ce) oxide were able to serve as fully transparent counter electrodes, of much interest for transparent electrochromic devices. In Ni-Ce hydroxide, the Ce addition enhanced the capacity for charge exchange.
Giant Crown-Shaped Polytungstate Formed by Self-Assembly of CeIII-Stabilized Dilacunary Keggin Fragments
2010
Single crystals of Na40K6[Ni(H2O)6]3 [K@K7Ce24Ge12W120O456 (OH)12(H2O)64]· 178H2O are synthesized by addition of KCl to a NaOAc/AcOH buffer solution containing Ce(NO3)3, GeO2, Na2WO4, and NiCl2 followed by slow evaporation at room temperature (24% yield).
Properties of Multi Phase Interfaces on the Tungsten Trioxide Particles in the Thin Films
2000
A wide spectrum of physical and chemical properties of thin films of tungsten trioxide compounds depend on composition, constitution and structure of the film, interaction with environment, and the type of external influences/excitations. The reason is the non-stoichiometric nature of transition metal oxides and properties of d-electrons. The short range order of non-stoichiometric compounds or phases of WO3 has a strong perovskite arrangement of tungsten and oxygen ions [1, 2]. The smallest crystalline clusters of perovskite short range order consist 6÷9 of [WO6]-octahedrons. One of the structural peculiarities-features of tungsten trioxide, related to non-stoichiometry, is a variety of [W…
Ein Mikro-Atemstromventil für spontan atmende narkotisierte Kleintiere - A Respiratory Micro-Valve for Spontaneously Breathing Anaesthetized Small An…
1994
For the accurate functional analysis of the gas exchange in the lungs or evaluation of artificial oxygen carriers in spontaneously breathing anaesthetized small animals, we developed a new respiratory micro-valve. The body of the valve is made of aluminium, and the flaps are made of silicone rubber. The maximum flow rate in a rat measured with a pneumotachograph and the micro-valve was an average of 19.9 ml/s during inspiration, and 17.8 ml/s during expiration. The pressure measured in the tracheal tube was -0.85 during inspiration, and +0.39 cm H2O during expiration; the end-expiratory pressure in the tube was zero. In two experiments with anaesthetised rats lasting 4-5 hours, ventilation,…
