Con- sequently, when experiments that can lead to their formation are carried out, the risk of serious explosion is always present. GROWINGinterest in the applications of perchloric acid to analytical chemistry makes the recognition of its properties imperative. Perchloric acid and the perchlorates have a notorious reputation; this is due to numerous explosions that have been recorded (Hackl’; Meyer and Spormann2; Kahane3; Zahn4; Balks and Wehrrnann5; Young and Campbell6; and others to be mentioned later) and also to the lack of extensive investigations of their properties. Whilst it is not intended that the hazardous properties of perchloric acid should be belittled, it is thought that a better understanding of its character may dispel some of the fears that have * Much of the chemistry of perchloric acid and perchlorates is summarised in “The Chemical Elements and Their Compounds,” by N.

  • Universität Bonn Physikalisches Institut
    DE13F7563 Universität Bonn Physikalisches Institut X-Ray Absorption Spectroscopy in Biological Systems: Opportunities and Limitations von Gudrun Lisa Bovenkamp X-ray absorption spectroscopy has become more important for applications in the material sciences, geology, environmental science and biology, specifically in the field of molecular biology. The scope of this thesis is to add more experimental evidence in order to show how applicable X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) is to biology. Two biological systems were investigated, at the molecular level, lead uptake in plants and the effect of silver on bacteria. This investigation also included an analysis of the sensitivity of Pb L3- and Ag L3-XANES spectra with regard to their chemical environment. It was shown that Pb L3- and Ag L3 -XANES spectra are sensitive to an environment with at least differences in the second coordination shell. The non-destructive and element specific properties of XANES are the key advantages that were very important for this investigation. However, in both projects the adequate selection of reference compounds, which required in some cases a chemical synthesis, was the critical factor to determine the chemical speciation and, finally, possible uptake and storage mechanisms for plants and antibacterial mechanisms of silver. The chemical environment of Pb in roots and leaves of plants from four different plant families and a lichen from a former lead mining site in the Eifel mountains in Germany was determined using both solid compounds and aqueous solutions of different ionic strength, which simulate the plant environment. The results can be interpreted in such a way that lead is sorbed on the surface of cell walls.

  • Salts in Aromatic Solvents
    Polymer Journal, Vol. 7, No. 3, pp 366-371 (1975) Photoreactions of N-Vinylcarbazole Induced by Metal Salts. V. Mechanistic Studies of the Cationic Polymerization Induced by Silver(I) Salts in Aromatic Solvents Yoshihiko TAKEDA,* Michihiko AsAr,** and Shigeo TAZUKE*** Department of Polymer Chemistry, Kyoto University, Kyoto 606, Japan. (Received October 9, 1974) ABSTRACT: Photosensitized cationic polymerizations of N-vinylcarbazole (VCZ) in­ duced by silver(!) perchlorate and tetrafluoroborate in various aromatic solvents were investigated under irradiation at 365 nm at 30°C. The polymerization rates decreased in the following order: nitrobenzene> benzene> toluene The specific in­ teraction between VCZ and silver which was observed spectroscopically only in the perchlorate-benzene system does not participate in the initiation processes. It was concluded that the effective absorption species leading to initiation is VCZ itself. Arguing from the kinetic behavior and the similarity in molecular weights of the poly­ mers, the polymerization in benzene and toluene proceeded via an identical mechanism. The poor photochemical reactivity in p-xylene was assumed to be attributable to the initial processes. Moreover, excitation of the charge-transfer band of the VCZ-nitroben­ zene complex in the presence of silver perchlorate enhanced the polymerization rate in comparison to the photopolymerization without silver perchlorate. The following initia­ tion mechanism was proposed: The electron transfer from excited VCZ* to solvent molecule produces

    SOME SALTS OF VERY STRONG ACIDS. By Kenneth Charles Moss. A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the University of London* AUGUST 1962. -1- ABSTRACT An investigation of monohydroxyfluoroborates was undertaken with reference to the sodium, potassium and tetraalkyl ammonium salts as the existence of these, compounds is in some doubt. Sodium and potassium monohydroxyfluoroborates were prepared and characterised, but the tetraalkylammonium salts could not be prepared. Several fluoroborate metal hydrates were prepared and their X-ray photographs indexed. They are found to be isomorphous with the corresponding perchlorates. It was found that silver(2) fluoride reacts with boron trifluoride to give silver(1) fluoroborate. A study oil the solubility of anhydrous first-row transition metal perchlorates, fluoroborates, trifluoroacetates, hexafluoro -phosphates, -vanadates, -silicates and -titanates in organic solvents such se benzene, toluene,ether and nitro- methane was carried out. The d-d spectra of the solutions of these salts in ether were obtained. The preparation of solid anhydrous fluoroborates, perchlorates and trifluoro- acetates from non-aqueous solvents was investigated and mum perchlorates and trifluoroacatates were obtained. Magnetic measurements were made on the solid trifluoroacetates and on solutions of the perchlorates in ether. -12- The stability of complexes of phosphorous penta- fluoride with Group V triaryls was investigated, and.it was found that only triphenylphosphine forms a stable complex. Phosphine-metal-fluorides of Pt, Pd and Ir were prepared from phosphlne-metal-hydrides and are the first complexes to be prepared with both phosphine and fluorine bonded to the same metal atom.

  • Sr( Oh) 2 Soluble Or Insoluble
    Sr( oh) 2 soluble or insoluble Continue The question is: Is sr (OH)2 (strontium hydroxy) soluble or insoluble in water? Answer: Sr(OH)2 (Strontium Hydroxide) soluble in water What is soluble and insoluble? Solubility Solubility is a property of a solid, liquid or gas-eating chemical called soluble solvent in solid, liquid or gas-vulnerable solvents. The soluble of the substance depends on the physical and chemical properties of the solvent, as well as on the temperature, pressure and pH of the solution. The degree of solubility of the substance in a particular solvent is measured as the concentration of saturation, in which the addition of the solution does not increase the concentration of the solution and begins to precipitate the excess amount of the solution. The soluble of the substance is completely different from the speed of the solution, which is how quickly it dissolves. Insoluble Term insoluble often applied to bad or very poorly soluble compounds. The overall threshold for describing something as insoluble is less than 0.1 grams per 100 ml of solvent.

The compounds studied were I 1 2Ag( AgO2)2*AgNO3, 2Ag(Ag02)2*Ag2SO4, and 2Ag(Ag02)2*AgF.15H2O. The instabil- I ity of 2Ag(AgOz)z*AgNO3in 45 percent KOH was studied. I Temperature coefficient of open circuit potentials, current density as a function of cell voltage and coulombic efficiencies of the cathode at various discharge rates were obtained for 2Ag(Ag02)2*AgN03and the product obtained from the stability tests of 2Ag(&02)2=AgN03 in 45 percent KOH. Changes of enthalpy, free energy, and entropy for the cell reaction for these two compounds were cal­ culated from experimental data and compared with reported values for silver ox­ ides Ago and AgzO. It was found that a cell with a higher energy density is obtainable from the argentic oxysalts than the commercially available Ago cells and that reserve-type cells could be developed using these compounds. The reaction product of 2Ag(Ag02)2.AgN03 and 45 percent KOH was found to be a complex compound containing divalent silver atoms.
