The familiar equilibrium between 1, 7- octadiene and cyclooctene
at temperatures exceeding 3000, indicates that an ene-retroene
process could be used as a six atom ring expansion method. To test
this possibility we prepared both cis and trans isomers of 1, 2- diallyl-
1, 2 -bis (trimethylsiloxy) cyclohexane and pyrolyzed...
A continuous amperometric monitor for aqueous sulfite solutions
has been developed employing the electro-oxidation of sulfur (IV)
in 0. 1 M sulfuric acid at a glassy carbon test electrode. The monitor
employs a hydrodynamic flow cell, in which the solution stream
enters the cell through an orifice impinging on the...
Diffusion of short chain n-alkanes was found to be faster in the
polydimethylsilicone elastomer SE-30 than in the polydimethylsilicone
oil SF-96-2000. The opposite was true for the longer chain n-alkanes
suggesting that choice of stationary phase for gas chromatography
would depend on the chain length of sample components. The dependence...
All attempted synthesis of perfluoroalkyl boron bonded groups
have resulted in the formation of boron-fluorine bonds from the
probable decomposition by α-fluorine transfer. The substance alkali
metal di-n- butylborate (I) has been identified as the potassium derivative
by its reaction with di-n-butylboron chloride and isolation of
potassium chloride. The reaction...
Nine Ca-Al-rich inclusions and one olivine inclusion
from Allende meteorite were studied for Ti, Al, Fe, Mg, Ca,
Na, Cl, K, Sc, V, Cr, Mn, Co, Ni, Zn,Hf, W, Ir, Au, Ta,
and Re -via INAA (instrumental neutron activation analysis)
and REE, Ba, Sr via RNAA (radiochemical NAA). The inclusions...
