Adsorption Studies on Clay Minerals. III. A Torsion Pendulum Adsorption Balance

Description: Many of the most important properties of the clay minerals are in reality properties of the complex systems clay-water. Since water enters directly into the equilibria between clays and ionic solutions, determination of the water content of the minerals under specified conditions are an obvious necessity in any complete study of these equilibria. A formulation of the thermodynamics involved indicates what information is necessary and how to take it into account. Furthermore, recent results of o… more

Free Radicals Formed From Ortho Substituted Nitro Compounds

Description: The photochemical rearrangement of o-nitrobenzaldehyde to nitrosobenzoic acid was discovered in 1901 and has been investigated by various workers. The reaction is known to occur both in the solid state and in solution. It seemed possible that a paramagnetic species could be formed during the photolysis and that an Electron Spin Resonance studt would give useful information.

Kinetics of Complex Isotopic Exchange Reactions

Description: The kinetics of the exchange of X between molecules of the type AX_n and BX, where the X atoms in AX_n are non-equivalent, is discussed. It is shown that for the case of intermolecular exchange l- fraction of exchange is given by ΣW_i*exp(e_i*t) where the W_i's and e_i's are functions of the concentrations of AX_n and BX and the n exchange rates. A similar equation is shown to hold for the case of combined inter and intra-molecular exchange. Methods of evaluating the exchange rates from the der… more

The Mass Spectrum of Lithium Iodide

Description: The mass spectrum of lithium iodide vapor produced from salt heated in an oven in the ion source of an analytical mass spectrometer was investigated as a function of oven temperature. Evidence was obtained for the existence in the vapor of both monomer and dimer. Partial heats of sublimation to monomer and dimer at 0°K were found to be 44.5 ± 7 and 45.0 ± 2 kcal respectively. The heat of dissociation of (LiI)2 into gaseous monomers was found to be 44.0 ± 2.2 kcal. The partial heat of sublimatio… more

The Mechanism of Genetic Effect of P32 in Bacteria

Description: The biological effect of absorbed unstable isotopes is related, in some cases, to the chemical changes resulting from radioactive decay rather than to the accompanying radiations. The special geometric and metabolic characteristics of bacterial cultures are employed to show that genetic effects of P32 may be attributable to the rupture of the phosphate band in deoxyribose nucleic acid. Other examples to illustrate the use of the nuclear disintegration technique an an indicator of the specific c… more

The Radiation Chemistry of Nitrite Ion in Aqueous Solution

Description: When deaerated solutions of KNO2 at their natural pH are irradiated with γ- or x-rays, the main initial reaction is a formation of hydrogen and hydrogen peroxide. As peroxide builds up, a radiation-induced reaction between nitrite and peroxide sets in, which results in the formation of nitrate. This reaction is slower the higher the nitrite concentration. The kinetics of the nitrite-peroxide reaction were studied in detail by the irradiation of synthetic mixtures, and the results were satisfact… more

The Radical Pair Yield of Ionizing Radiation in Ferrous Sulfate and Ceric Sulfate Solutions

Description: The radical pair yield from dilute aqueous solutions of ferrous sulfate and ceric sulfate solutions has been determined. Using the mechanism of Weiss et al. for the hydrogen formation in deaerated solutions of ferrous sulfate it is found that 23% of the radicals recombine to yield stable products in good agreement with values obtained by others. Two results are found for the reduction of ceric sulfate solutions, depending on the wave length of X-rays used. This indicates that the mechanism post… more

Relative Energies of Polar and Nonpolar Valence Bond Functions and Molecular Orbital Theory II

Description: In the preceding note, it is shown that one could introduce correction factors into a molecular orbital theory treatment of the ethylene molecule which bring the results into closer agreement with experiment. These correction factors decrease the separation in energy between nonpolar and polar structures and were therefore found to decrease greatly the amount of configurational interaction in ethylene. Moreover, since state T of ethylene is purely nonpolar while state V is completely polar, the… more

Remarks by R. Christian Anderson of the Brookhaven National Laboratory, Upton, L.I., New York, at the conclusion of Professor Scott's talk on "The Light Metal Carbonyls".

Description: Our interest in the light metal carbonyls is twofold. One phase concerns the general chemistry and structure of these compounds inasmuch as they provide interesting and important organic materials and may be considered to be organometallic substances. Secondly and secondarily, these materials afford a convenient synthetic route to isotopically labeled compounds since the labeled precursor, carbon monoxide, is readily available.

A Simple Chassis Holder for Use with Relay Racks

Description: For quite some time there has been a need for a convenient method of setting electronic chassis in a simple relay rack. The usual procedure has involved two or more individuals. One would start the screws through the front slots in the panel, while the others would support the chassis and try to align the sloths with the appropriate rack holes by trial and error movements. When the circuit is removed the opposite procedure is used. We have found that the chassis holder described below greatly f… more

Stereochemistry and the Mechanism of Enzymatic Reactions

Description: The isolation and purification of an enzyme makes it possible to consider the reaction which it catalyzes from the standpoint of organic chemistry, i.e. as a reaction between organic molecules in which the catalyst happens to be a protein. Such a consideration allows the tools of physical organic chemistry to be applied to the the study of the enzyme mechanism, and, since a number of enzymes have been purified, to obtain correlations of what might otherwise appear to be unrelated processes.

The Thermal Decomposition of NaBrO₃, Part 1: Unirradiated Material

Description: The thermal decomposition of polycrystalline NaBrO₃ has been studied in the temperature range 323–430°C. The only products are NaBr and Oxygen. Like KBrO₃, the reaction begins essentially on surfaces by the rapid formation of an interface and is followed by the penetration of this interface into the crystallite. The melting of a eutectic formed between the product NaBr and the parent material causes a marked increase in rate over certain temperature ranges. This is evident as a very sharp disco… more

The Mg-MgCl2 System — A Chronopotentiometric Study

Description: The mode of dissolution of magnesium in molten magnesium chloride contacted with Mg-Pb alloys was studied at 750°C using anodic chronopotentiometry. An inert tantalum anode was used to determine relative amounts of magnesium dissolved in its chloride as a function of magnesium activity in the alloy. According to the law of mass action a linear dependence of magnesium solubility on a Mg indicates Mg2Cl2 as the reaction product and a parabolic dependence indicates MgCl. It was found that the amou… more

Correlation of Kinetic Isotope Effects with Chemical Bonding in Three Center Reactions

Description: We consider the kinetic isotope effect in three center reactions of the type of A+BC→AB+C. Such model calculations are a good approximation to primary hydrogen isotope effects. For abstraction or transfer reactions, B becomes H, D, or T. The dynamics of the three storm system are calculated for a general quadratic potential, with the assumption that the potential energy is constant along the reaction coordinate (flat top barrier). This model system can be calculated in detail and serves to illu… more

Current Studies of Fission Product Behavior at BNL

Description: Programs are under way at Brookhaven National Laboratory to study the behavior of fission products released from reactor fuel materials. Major emphasis has been placed on fission product iodine because of the physiological hazard associated with the I131 isotope. A complete reactor safety analysis, considering either a slow or rapid release of fission products, requires a knowledge of the chemical and physical states of the fission products during release, the extent of their release, and an un… more

Manganese Poisoning - New Insights

Description: The heavy metal intoxications involving the brain may be divided into two groups: One, in which the offending metal is clearly a poison, such as mercury or lead; and a second, in which the offending agent is normally an essential constituent of the body. The latter category would include manganese poisoning, copper poisoning (or Wilson's disease) and, if some recent data are valid, Huntington's chorea, in which iron seems to have been implicated. Our interest in the second category of diseases … more

The Use of Low Energy Radioactive Isotopes in The Examination of Paintings on Thin Supports

Description: The importance of the examination of paper and textile supported art objects by means of low energy X-rays has been ably discussed in the preceding papers of this session. The apparatus used for such radiography, however, has tended to be both expensive and confined to laboratory use. A lack of mobility arises from the weight and size of X-ray apparatus and the fact that its installation frequently requires shielding and special electric power lines. An inexpensive radiographic apparatus that r… more
