Selective Lipid Absorption

Description: An experiment was designed to study in the same animal any preferential absorption of a free fatty acid in the presence of a triglyceride of the same fatty acid. Rats were administered a mixture of free fatty acid and its triglyceride labeled with carbon-13 and carbon-14 respectively. Each isotope in the fed lipid and in the lipid recovered from the gastrointestinal tract was measured. The isotope effect, if any, was studied by administering a mixture of palmitic acid-1-C13 and palmitic acid-1-… more

Self-diffusion of Pb210 and Cl36 in Molten PbCl2-KCl Mixtures in the Region of the Compound 2PbCl2-KCl

Description: The specific goal of the investigation was the measurement, as a function of temperature, of the self-diffusion coefficients of Pb210 and Cl36 in PbCl2-KCl compositions in the region of the first compound, and to calculate from these data the activation energy necessary for the diffusion of these ions.

Infrared Studies of Anions of Barbituric Acids

Description: As long ago as 1881, it was realized that a functional group of atoms in a molecule would cause an absorption band to appear at a particular frequency in the infrared spectrum of the molecule. In more recent years, the concept of characteristic group frequencies has become firmly established and has resulted in the present widespread use of infrared spectroscopy. There appear to have been relatively few studies of infrared absorption of organic acids as compared with their salts.

A Study of Asymmetric Syntheses in Coordination Chemistry

Description: Since only one example of an asymmetric synthesis which involved an intermediate containing an optically active ligand has been reported, two questions immediately arise: "Is this type of asymmetric synthesis an isolated example, or is it a stepping stone toward a generalized trend for Co (III) which may be extended to include levo rotatory, as well as dextro rotatory molecules?" In addition, asymmetric synthesis affords a new avenue for synthesizing resolved neutral complexes.

Synthesis of Polyaldehydes

Description: Part one of this thesis concerns the polymerizability of some α,β-unsaturated monaldehydes and also relates the synthesis of some new polyaldehydes which have not been reported in the literature. Part two concerns the polymerization of glyoxal, the simplest dialdehyde, and the structure elucidation of this new polymer.

A Study of Synthesis and Stereoisomerism of some Complex Cobalt Compounds

Description: The purpose of this investigation is two-fold. Some new complex compounds, where one of the bidentate molecules is an optically active amino acid, were prepared, and attempts to separate those complex isomers by different methods were made. The replacement of the amino acids by optically inactive ligands was studied.
