The
principles of linear free energy relationships were applied to the 13C
substituent chemical shifts (SCS) of the carbon atoms in the unsaturated chain
of 3-methylene-4-substituted-1,4-pentadienes. Correlations of the SCS with the
substituent parameters of Swain and Lupton provide a mutually consistent
picture of the electronic effects in these compounds. The pattern of the
electronic effects can be fully rationalized by a model based on the direct
transmission of substituent effects through-space (direct through-space field
effects), and via conjugative interactions (resonance effects), or by
substituent-induced polarization of the p-system in the unsaturated chain (p-polarization
effect). Semi-empirical MNDO-PM3 calculations suggest the s-cis
conformation of 3-methylene-4-substituted-1,4- -pentadienes as the one with
minimal heat of formation.
Keywords:
[3]dendralenes, unsaturated chain carbon 13C SCS,
substituent effects, reverse 13C SCS effect, MNDO-PM3 calculations.

In
this work, all the rate constants in the kinetic mechanism of the yeast alcohol
dehydrogenase-catalyzed oxidation of ethanol by NAD+, at pH
7.0, 25°C, have been estimated. The determination of the individual rate
constants was achieved by fitting the reaction progress curves to the
experimental data, using the procedures of the FITSIM and KINSIM software
package of Carl Frieden. This work is the first report in the literature
showing the internal equilibrium constants for the isomerization of the
enzyme-NAD+ complex in yeast alcohol dehydrogenase-catalyzed reactions.
Keywords:
yeast alcohol dehydrogenase, kinetic mechanism of action.

The
synthesis and characterization of benzene- and p-toluenesulphonylhydrazones
derived from salicylaldehyde and 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde and their Cu(II)
complexes are reported. The compounds were characterized on the basis of
elemental analyses, electronic and IR spectra, magnetic moments, and conductance
measurements. The electrochemical behavior of the Cu(II) complexes was
investigated in DMSO by cyclic voltammetry (CV), rotating disc electrode (RDE)
and coulometry. The oxidative polymerization of the copper complexes on a
glassy carbon electrode was carried out in DMSO.
Keywords:
sulphonylhydrazone-Cu(II) complex, cyclic voltammetry.

Thermochemical equilibrium

Earth’s
atmosphere is composed primarily of N2 and O2. The origin of free O2 in the
early Earth’s atmosphere is still subject of considerable debate.1 Theoretical
models suggest that the initial form of free O2 in the
atmosphere has been oceanic H2O. Recent
computation modelling has suggested that a superheated (ca. 2000 K) H2O vapor
atmosphere of 1.4x1021 kg (the present mass of the oceans) lasting for about 3000 y
could probably have been formed on Earth by an enormous (ca. 1028 J)
asteroid impact. In this report, the occurrence of the thermochemical dissociation
of the vapor, creating a primitive oxygenic (ca. 0.1 of the present level (PAL)
of free O2) atmosphere.
Keywords:
oxygen, atmosphere, thermochemistry, photochemistry, Earth, asteroid,

(Received

The
effect of the ethanol load on the discharge and analytical parameters of an
argon stabilised U-shaped DC arc has been recorded. Measurements of the radial
distribution of the apparent temperatures and the electron number density of
the DC plasma showed that ethanol addition causes a decrease in both plasma
parameters. The changes in the plasma characteristics, as well as in transport
and atomisation processes of the analyte cause a general change in the spectral
line intensities, which depends on the physical characteristics of the analyte
and the quantity of ethanol loaded into the plasma. Improved detection limits
were obtained for V and Mn when a 10 % (v/v) water–ethanol solution was
nebulized into the plasma.
Keywords:
U-shaped DC arc, emission spectroscopy, ethanol addition, radial temperature
distribution, electron number density distribution, equilibrium plasma
composition, detection limits.

Temperature effect on graphite KS44

and impedance study

Graphite
Lonza KS44 in a solution 1 M LiClO4 in a
propoylene carbonate + ethylene carbonate (1 M:1 M) mixture was lithiated and
delithiated galvanostatically at room temperature and at the elevated
temperature of 55°C. Voltage–time profiles and complex impedance diagrams were
recorded and are discussed for this particular system. It was confirmed that
this type of graphite shows a relatively small current loss consumed by
exfoliation, if lithiated at room temperature. However, the voltage–time curve
of the first charging at 55°C shows a long voltage plateau at 0.7 V vs. Li/Li+, which corresponds
to 540 mAh g-1 of irreversible capacity attributed to exfoliation. The solid
electrolyte layer formed at elevated temperature, although less protecting in
the sense of electrolyte reduction, shows a remarkably higher electrical
resistance than that formed at room temperature. A comparison of the impedance
diagrams of lithiated and delithiated samples allows the conclusion that mass
transfer through the graphite, not that through the solid electrolyte layer,
plays a dominant role in the mass transfer limitations.
Keywords:
graphite, lithiation, reversible capacity, galvanostatic charging, solid
electrolyte layer.

A
new catalytic reaction is proposed and a kinetic method developed for the
determination of ultramicro amounts of As(III) on the basis of its catalytic
activity in the oxidation of ethylenediamine-N,N’-diacetic-N,N’
dipropionic acid (EAP) by KMnO4 in the
presence of hydrochloric acid. Under optimal conditions, the sensivity of the
method is 20 ng/cm3. The probable relative error is 7.6 – 14.5 % for the
concentration range 50 – 200 ng/cm3 As(III).
The effect of certain foreign ions upon the reaction rate were determined for
the assessment of the selectivity of the method. The method has relatively good
selectivity. Kinetic equations were proposed for the investigated process.
Keywords:
kinetic method, As(III) determination,
ethylenediamine-N,N’-diacetic-N,N’-dipropionic acid.

A
model for the combustion of porous char particles as a basis for modeling the
process of sulfur retention by ash during coal combustion is developed in this
paper. The model belongs to the microscopic intrinsic models and describes the
dynamic behavior of a porous char particle during comustion, taking into
account temporal and spatial changes of all important physical properties of
the char particle and various combustion parameters. The parametric analysis of
the enhanced model shows that the model represents a good basis for the
development of a model for the process of sulfur retention by ash during coal
combustion. The model enables the prediction of the values of all parameters
necessary for the introduction of reactions between sulfur compounds and
mineral components in ash, primarily calcium oxide.
Keywords:
dynamic model, char combustion, sulfur retention by ash.
