Studies on organolanthanide complexes .58. Syntheses of 1,1'-(3-oxa-pentamethylene)dicyclopentadienyl divalent organolanthanides (Ln=Sm, Yb) and X-ray molecular structure of O(CH2CH2C5H4)(2)Yb(DME)

The compounds O(CH2CH2C5H4)(2)Ln(THF)(2) [Ln = Sm(1), Yb(2)] were synthesized by the reduction of O(CH2CH2C5H4)(2)LnCl with sodium metal in tetrahydrofuran (THF) at room temperature. Recrystallization of 2 from dimethoxyethane (DME) produced the single-crystal O(CH2CH2C5H4)(2)Yb(DME) (3) whose structure has been determined by an X-ray diffraction study. The crystals are orthorhombic, space group Pcab, with a = 14.168(4), b = 13.541(6), c = 19.314(8) Angstrom, Z = 8, D-calc. = 1.66 g cm(-3).

Preparation of lanthanide hydrides of nanometric size by the catalytic method

Rare-earth metals were hydrogenated in the presence of TiCl4 catalyst in tetrahydrofuran (THF) at 45 degreesC under normal pressure. Transmission electron micrographs showed that the re. sulting lanthanide hydrides were in the form of nanoparticles. The rate of hydrogenation decreased with increasing atomic number of the rare-earth elements.

Effects of organic modifiers on solute retention and electrokinetic migrations in micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography

Influences of seven organic modifiers, including urea, methanol (MeOH), dioxane (DIO), tetrahydrofuran (THF), acetonitrile (ACN), 1-propanol (1-PrOH) and 2-propanol (2-PrOH), on the solute retention and the electrokinetic migrations in micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography (MEKC) are investigated with sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) micelle as pseudostationary phase. It is observed that in the limited concentration ranges used in the MEKC systems the effect of organic modifier concentration on the retention can be described by the equation logk'=logk'(w)-SC for most binary aqueous-organic buffer, but deviations from this retention equation are observed at ACN and particularly THF as organic modifiers. With parameter S as a measure of the elutropic strength, the elutropic strength of the organic modifiers is found to follow a general order urea THF is found to be the most abundant modifier in selectivity among the organic modifiers studied. The electroosmotic mobility decreases linearly with increasing modifier concentrations. The strength of modifiers to suppress the electroosmotic mobility follows the order urea < MeOH, ACN < DIO, THF, 1-PrOH, 2-PrOH. The addition of ACN affects the electrophoretic mobility of the SDS micelle in different patterns depending on the buffer composition used, while the addition of the other modifiers leads to a rough linear decrease of the electrophoretic mobility of the SDS micelle. The suppressing strength of THF on the electrophoretic mobility of the SDS micelle is strongly related to the buffer composition, whereas the suppressing strength for the other modifiers follows the sequence urea < MeOH < DIO, 1-PrOH, 2-PrOH. The migration time window is expanded by the use of organic modifiers. Urea and MeOH have the least expanding strength while ACN, DIO, THF, 1-PrOH and 2-PrOH have the highest expanding strength on the migration time window.

Preparation and characterization of cationic corn starch with a high degree of substitution in dioxane-THF-water media

Cationic corn starch derivatives with a high degree of substitution are prepared in alkaline solution or in mixed media of organic solvent and water with different levels of the cationic reagent, 2,3-epoxypropyltrimethylammonium chloride. The starch cationization yield is investigated, and the results indicate that the degree of substitution (DS) of the samples depends on the reaction conditions and reaction media. The maximum DS values are up to 1.37 in 1,4-dioxane alkali ne-aqueous solution. Meanwhile, the structures of the cationic starch derivatives are characterized by elemental analyses, FTIR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and C-13 NMR spectroscopy, as well as by SEM techniques.
