MOSSBAUER-EFFECT STUDIES ON SOME BIOINORGANIC COMPLEXES OF EUROPIUM

The bioinorganic complexes of europium with N-acetyl-DL-alanine, N-acetyl-DL-valine, and DL-alanyl-DL-alanine have been synthesized and the Mossbauer spectra at room temperature have been measured for these solid state complexes. The Mossbauer parameters indicate that the water molecules in these complexes are not directly linked to the central europium ion and are outside the coordination sphere of europium and biological ligands, and that the chemical bond between the europium ion and the ligands may be predominantly ionic in character, with the possibility of partial covalent contribution.

THERMAL DECOMPOSITIONS OF SOME BIOINORGANIC COMPLEXES OF EUROPIUM

Thermogravimetric and derivative thermogravimetric investigations for three kinds of bioinorganic complexes of europium with N-acetyl-DL-alanine, N-acetyl-DL-valine and DL-alanyl-DL-alanine have been performed. It was found that the water molecules in these solid state complexes are not directly coordinated to the europium ion and that there may be three or four steps in the thermal decomposition process of these complexes after dehydration. The possible thermal decomposition reactions of these bioinorganic complexes have been suggested and discussed.

A STUDY OF ION KINETIC ENERGY SPECTROMETRY OF FERROCENE DOUBLY CHARGED IONS IN GAS PHASE

The unimolecular charge separation reactions of the doubly charged ions FeC10H102+, FeC10H theta 2+, FeC10H82+ produced in the ion source by electron impact from ferrocene have been studied using Mass analyzed Ion Kinetic Energy Spectrometry (MIKES) technique. From the values of the kinetic energy releases (T), the intercharge distances (R) of the exploding doubly charged ions in their transition structures have been estimated and some structural informations about the transition states can be obtained. The collision induced reactions of the FeC10H102+ ion with Ar have been studied using MIKES, we postulate a new type of continuing reaction which may be "collisional charge separation induced dissociation".

SEARCH FOR THE BASIC REGULARITIES OF THE TRANSITION EMISSION OF EUROPIUM(II) ION IN COMPLEX FLUORIDES USING PATTERN-RECOGNITION

The relationship between structures of complex fluorides and spectral structure of Eu(II) ion in complex fluorides (AB(m)F(n)) is investigated by means of pattern recognition methods, such as KNN, ALKNN, BAYES, LLM, SIMCA and PCA. A learning set consisting of 32 f-f transition emission host compounds and 31 d-f transition emission host compounds and a test set consisting of 27 host compounds were characterized by 12 crystal structural parameters. These parameters, i.e. features, were reduced from 12 to 6 by multiple criteria for the classification of these host compounds as f-f transition emission or d-f transition emission. A recognition rate from 79.4 to 96.8% and prediction capabilities from 85.2 to 92.6% were obtained. According to the above results, the spectral structures of Eu(II) ion in seven unknown host lattices were predicted.

STUDY ON DEPOSITION POTENTIALS OF LITHIUM AND SODIUM-IONS AND DEPOLARIZATION IN BINARY CHLORIDE

Deposition potentials of Lithium and Sodium ions have been measured in binary chloride systems (LiCl-KCl, NaCl-KCl) by I-V curve method, to provide a theoretical base for preparing high purity Al-Li alloy by electrolysis in molten salt. The changes of free energy and enthalpy were calculated in terms of depolarization values on Al cathode. Thermodynamic meaning of depolarization was discussed in details and the empirical relation between binary alloy type and depolarization type was proposed. It is shown for the first time that the presence of a third element in Al-Li alloy can strengthen depolarization of Li ion at Al alloy cathode and give foundation for preparing high purity Al-Li-M ternary alloy. The effect of LiCl concentration on deposition potentials of Li ion at Al cathode in KCl-LiCl melt was studied and average active coefficient of LiCl was obtained.

The structures of CH5O+ from two different reactions which are protonation of CH3OH from the above two pathways possess the same structures, CH3OH2+. The value of kinetic energy release for the metastable decomposition CH2OH3+-> CH2OH+ + H-2 determined from the experiment is in good agreement with that from theoretical calculations. The transition state of above reaction were disscussed.

The intensities and the positions of all the possible transitions between the sublevels of the ground state and those of the excited state of nucleus with spin I> 3/2 can be considered at one time in fitting to experimental Mossbauer spectra by this method. The method has been used to fit to the experimental Mossbauer spectra of europium orthophosphate crystal and of europium pentaphosphate crystal, and to derive Mossbauer parameters from...
