The methanolysis of phosphorus trichloride coordinated to nickel
(0) has been studied. Free phosphorus trichloride reacts with methanol
to give dimethyl hydrogen phosphonate, methyl chloride, and hydrogen
chloride. The reaction involves a rearrangement on phosphorus using
the lone pair, in which the coordination number increases from three
to four. In...
The spectrophotometric method for the determination of the
acid nonextractable flavin in the proteolytic digest of the trichloroacetic
acid precipitate from the heart muscle preparation has been
examined for the interference of the degraded hemeproteins. The
proteolytic digest was chromatographically separated into the heme
and flavin fractions. Spectrophotometric determinations made...
Improvements in instrumentation for fluorometric kinetic
measurements and the application of a new intensified diode array (IDA)
rapid scanning system to low level transient fluorescence measurements
are reported. This instrumentation is applied to a new fluorometric
kinetic method for thiamine (TM).
Modifications to the existing fluorometric reation rate instrument
include...
The effects of different levels of copper in the diet on growth
rates, blood and liver copper concentrations, hemoglobin levels,
and cytochrome c oxidase activities were determined in the cotton
rat. The response of the cotton rat to different levels of copper was
analagous to that of the common laboratory...
A variety of laser spectroscopic methods are employed in this
thesis research for studies of CF₃NO, an interesting model
photodissociative system, and for investigation of low energy rotations
and vibrations of small molecules and low molecular weight clusters in
free jet expansions.
Nonradiative energy decay for electronically excited CF₃NO is...
A multielement spectrometer has been developed for the simultaneous determination of four elements by atomic absorption (AA) or atomic fluorescence (AF). The spectrometer is based on a multiple exit slit monochromator and uses a mirrored funnel to direct light from the various exit slits to a single photomultiplier. There are...
The simultaneous diffusion of Ca 2+ and Sr 2+ ions in purified
single crystals of KC1 and NaC1 was studied over the temperature
ranges from 451°C to 669°C in KC1 and from 448°C to 683°C in NaCl.
A radioactive tracer technique was used in two types of measurements:
diffusion from...
