Vanadium pentoxide electrodes were prepared by melting
the powdered oxide around a platinum foil in a pyrex tube. The
electrode was discharged, and the discharge product was studied,
but not identified, by means of chemical and x-ray diffraction analysis.
A study was made of the relationship between the electrode
potential...
Attempts to synthesize diboron tetrafluoride by the reduction of
boron trifluoride with alkali metal solutions in 1, 2-dimethoxyethane
proved to be unsuccessful. No diboron tetrahalide was found when
boron trifluoride, antimony trifluoride, or boron trichloride was
reacted with tetra-(dimethylamino)-diboron; although there appeared
to be some exchange between chloride and amine...
At liquid nitrogen temperature the spectra of sublimed
films of NH₄NCS, both as phase I (the usual form stable at
room temperature) and phase II (the low temperature form),
exhibit detail usually reserved for gases at low pressures.
In both phases the symmetry of ammonium ion has degenerated
from tetrahedral...
