Attention Microfiche User,

The original document from which this microfiche was made wasfound to contain some imperfection or imperfections that reducefull comprehension of some of the text despite the good technicalquality of—the microfiche itself. The imperfections may be:

- missing or illegible pages/figures- wrong pagination- poor overall printing quality, etc.

We normally refuse to microfiche such a document and request areplacement document (or pages) from the National INIS Centreconcerned. However, our experience shows that many months passbefore such documents are replaced. Sometimes the Centre is notable to supply a better copy or, in some cases, the pages that weresupposed to be missing correspond to a wrong pagination only* Wefeel that it is better to proceed with distributing the microfichemade of these documents than to withhold them till the imperfectionsare removed. If the removals are subsequestly made then replacementmicrofiche can be issued. In line with this approach then, ourspecific practice for microfiching documents with imperfections isas follows:

! 1. A microfiche of an imperfect document will be marked with aspecial symbol (black circle) on the left of the title. Thissymbol will appear on all masters and copies of the document

( (1st fiche and trailer fiches) even if the imperfection is on| one fiche of the report only.

f** 2. If imperfection is not too general the reason will be1 specified on a sheet such as this, in the space below.

" 3» The microfiche will be considered as temporary, but soldat the normal price. Replacements, if they can be issued,will be available for purchase at the regular price.

4» A new document will be requested from the supplying- Centre.

5. If the Centre can supply the necessary pages/document a newmaster fiche will be made to permit production of any replace-ment microfiche that may be requested.

ethenols (e .g . , 2) and 1,2,2-tr iarylethenols (e .g . , 3_-9) are frequently

Some of the i r properties which were studied by us are summarized below: (a) The

formation in the so l id state and probably also in solut ion, (d) The threshold

the substi tuents. I t is a 3-rinr; f l i p for b_ and 6_, a 2-ring f l i p for 2_ and a 1-

TRANSITION METAL COMPLEXES WITH METAL-METAL BONDS

Z. DORI

Department of Chemistry, Technion - Israel Institute of Technology,Haifa 32000, Israel.

The chemistry of transition metal compounds containing mete"!-net;:!

bounds has lately bnco'no m e of th? most activp in inorganic

cheristry. Thf-3.? cornf.oi-rtis havi* r.:;'.. ificancc in nany directions,

including catalysis and solid state science. Most of these compounds

are formed by metal atoms in low formal oxidation states involving

primarily second and third row transition elements. Bond order of 1 to

4 between metal atoms are now well extablished with short M-M

distances for the multiply bonded compounds.

The reactivity of M-M bonds offered interesting new chomstry. A

metal-metal multiple bond can be a site of reactivity for an inorganic

compound in the same way as multiple C-C or C-N bonds provide reactive

functionalities in organic chemisty.

In this lecture I should like to trace the development of the field

and emphasize some of the more important structural and chemical

aspects of this class of unusual compounds.

T3

QUANTUM CHEMISTRY AND THE THEORY CF THE CHEMICAL BOND

Ruben PaunczDepartment of Chemistry, Techion, Israel Institute of Technology, Haifa, Israel

Quantum chemistry provides the theoretical background for th? interpretation of

the chemical bond. Soon after the discovery of quantum mechanics, iieitler and

London showed how one can understand the formation of the simplest molecule

(H^). Ir this an.i in tnn subsequent calculations one uses the liorn-Cppenheimer

approximation and obtains a potential energy curve (surface for polyatomic iiiole-

ci.U'S). The minirr.a on the potential energy surface provide the equilibrium bond

lengths and bond CIT'^S of stable molecular species; the saddle points relate tc

transition stnttj.1 •• still mere important goal of the theory is tA give en

interpretation ana a theoretical basis fo>" chemical concepts related to the

structu*"'* of nolc;cul-_s. A brief rrviou is given of thf two main approaches: a)

molecular orbital method , b) valence bend approach . Hartree-Fock theory, based

on the molecular orbital method, is successful in predicting molecular geomet-

ries but does not yield the correct dissocation products. £ better treatment of

tMf electronic rorrclrticn problem is given by the generalIZPC! valence bond

mettocl. Some of the concepts provided by quantum cnemistry which ere relevant to

the theory of the chemical bond ere discussed: a^ bono order, b) hybridisation,

c) conjugation, d) bent bonds, e) localized orbitals, f) multiple (up to

quadruple) bonds, q) behavior of the kinetic and potential energy upon bond

fotnation. Emphasis will be placed upon the problem: To what extent are these

coicepts dependent upon the particular method of approximation used in the

calculations?

SOLAR PHOTOCHEMICAL CONVERSION: HYDROGEN GENERATION

JOSEPH RABANI

Energy Research Center and The Department of Physical Chemistry, The HebrewUniversity, Jerusalem, Israel

Among several promising approaches to the question of photochemical conversion

and storage of solar energy, the production of hydrogen from water is among the

most extensively investigated. If oxygen is the oxidation product, produced in

the same or a subsequent process by water oxidation, then energy storage is

achieved. The greatest obstacle to this form of photochemical energy storage is

the so-called "back reactions" between the photochemical transients, resulting

in the regeneration of the initial reactants along with the dissioation of the

energy which is converted to low temperature heat.

We believe that the key to achieve photochemical storage in the form of hydro-

gen lies in three related fields. Firstly, new photosensitizers and electron do-

nors and acceptors are required. The first step after the formation of an ex-

cited state by light absorption nust be an electron transfer -process. The phv-

sical and chemical required properties of the compounds involved can now be

formulated. It is now UD to the synthetic people to make, and the photochemists

to test them. Secondly, inhibition of the "back reactions" has been demonstrated

by using various microenvironments. Inhibition by 2-3 orders of magnitude may

turn the balance towards the competing (and desired) processes of oxidation and

reduction of water. Thirdly, catalysts can assist with the redox reactions. Both

powders and colloids have been employed.

The present state of these fields and the prospects for the future, all in re-

lation to solar enerqy conversion and storage is discussed.

VINYL AZIDES. VERSATILE SYNTHONS.

ALFRED HASSNER, DEPT OF CHEMISTRY, Sl'NY BINGHAMTON, N.Y. USA andBAR-ILAN UNIVERSITY, RAMAT GAN, ISRAEL

Vinyl azides are ~n unusual class of organic molecules since they arecapable of reaction with nucleophiles or electrophiles. In additionthey are of active interest, because on thermolysis or photolysis theycan lead to reactive intermediates such as vinyl nitrenes, which undergofurther interesting intra or intermolecuiar insertions, "urther-more,vinyl azides &re canable of undergoing cycloadditions at both the ole-finic or the azido function. A l ^ fragmentation reactions have beenobserved.

STABILIZATION OF IONS AND UNCHARGED COMPOUNDS BY CHARGE AND DONOR-ACCEPTOR

ALTERNATION.

J. KLEIN

Department of Organic Chemistry, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Jerusalem

Israel.

The polymetalation of unsaturated compounds was first observed on acety-

lenes less than twenty years ago. The last decade has witnessed the unexpected

polymetalation of a number of different classes of compounds, such as unsatura-

ted hydrocarbons (olefins and aromatics), or ketones. The presence of an

appreciable negative charge on the hydrocarbon part of the polymetalated com-

pounds where all the charges are delocalized in the same system, raised the

question of electron interaction in these molecules. The distribution of

charge in the system and the relative stabilities of isomeric compounds has

shed light on the relationship between these two properties and revealed a

new stabilizing effect, that is not a resonance one. These findings have

permitted to formulate rules that are helpful in predicting relative stabilities

not only of polyions but also of uncharged molecules. The most

stable product is obtained when the consecutive introduction of charges takes

place on the same set of starred atoms. This is true both for Kekule and non-,

Kekule hydrocarbons. The result of such a mode of charge introduction is the

formation of two alternating sets of atoms, the starred carrying the charge

of the system and the unstarred with a partial opposite charge. In the case

of hydrocarbon ions, all the atoms in the delocalized system are carbons, but

their character alternates from donor to acceptor. Similar rules for

stabilization apply to neutral compounds having more than one substituent with

a donor or acceptor character on a conjugated system. The substituents will

stabilize such a compound relative to its isomers if they are placed on odd

numbered (starred)atoms relative to each other when they are of the same kind

(donor or acceptor), but on even-numbered (one on a starred and the other on

an unstarred atom) when they are of different characters (donor and acceptor).

The result of such an arrangement is again donor-acceptor alternation along

all the atoms of the system.

MACROMOLECULES ARE THE STUFF OF LIFE

H. EISENBERG

Department of Polymer Research, The Weizmann Institute of Science

Rehovot 76100, Israel

Only in our life time was the nature of the macromolecular state clearly estab-lished. Until shortly before the Society whose 50th anniversary we are celebra-ting to-day was founded, it was believed that large, well defined macromoleculesdo not exist. Following Staudinger it was soon accepted that many natural mate-rials were macromolecules, bonded to form long chains. Once the basic principlewas recognized that various atoms can join to form long chains, the macromolecularstate could be defined and studied.

The very important functional properties of biological macromolecules were quicklyrecognized and to-day we stand at the threshold of a major revolution. We arewitnessing the possibility to interfere with features of the biological machi-nery, in which macromolecules play a major role. The genetic message is linearlyencoded in DNA in triplets of four bases storing the information required tomaintain and reproduce a whole organism. Following transcription into RNA,trans-lation leads to polymerization of twenty odd amino acids into linear polypeptidechains. These, upon folding into active globular proteins, constitute the basicbiological machinery. Linear double stranded helical DNA threads of eukaryoticorganisms may be centimeters long but only nanometers across. For packaging innuclei of microscopic cells, DNA complexes with proteins, mostly hist^ne?.Hierarchies of structure arise, culminating in the chromosome. Though packaged,DNA must be instantly available for transcription and replication. DNA, histonesand non-histone proteins play both structural and functional roles.A complex of about 160 base pairs of DNA, wound around a core of eight (twicefour) histones constitutes the nucleosome, the basic repeating unit in chromatinstructure, discovered barely a decade ago. Long strings of nucleosomes, separa-ted by stretches of linker DNA and complexed with one additional histone, formirregularly unfolded "10 nm" fibers at low ionic strength, yet fold regularlyinto "30 nm" solenoids upon addition of monovalent or divalent ions. We focushere on presenting some basic aspects of the formation and significance of this"higher order" structure.

IONS AND LIGHT;FROM THE ORIGIN OF LIFE - TO BIOMEDICAL APPLICATIONS

C. LIFSHITZ; Department of Physical Chemistry, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem

Jerusalem 91904, Israelf

I t has been demonstrated in recent years quite convincingly that the combinationof ions and l ight in interstel lar space is responsible for the origin of l i f e on

earth. Advances in experimental techniques in the laboratory - in mass spectro-

metry (MS/MS, CAD etc. ) , as well as in l ight sources (the Synchrotron, the

j LASER) - have enabled experiments which were hitherto impossible to perform. The

! structures of many organic ions in the gas phase are now quite well established

'. experimentally and from ah initic calculations. Isomeric structures play an im-

| portant role for stable, as well as dissociating ions. Considerable progress has

"f been made in the fields of spectroscopy (electronic and vibrational) of ions,

single and multiple photoionization of molecules (PI and MPI), unimolecular

fragmentation mechanisms of organic ions, gas phase ion-molecule reactions (IMR),

fluorescence and radiative lifetimes of ions and ion photodissociation. Some

striking examples wi l l be discussed. In analytical biomedical applications the

drive is towards ever increasing higher molecular weight compounds of low vola-

t i l i t y . Analyses of peptide antibiotics, penicilines, vitamins etc. can now be

'. performed by LASER desorpt ion and Fast Atom Bombardment techniques.

THE ROLE OF PiiLROMON'ES IN" INTEGRATED PEST CONTROL

A. SHAM

Department of Chemistry, iien-Gurion University of the Negev,Keer Sheva,34120, Israel

Tne endless battle between mankind and pests (mainly insects'! for food and

other agricultural products is on: we constantly starch for more efficient

and safer ways, than arc in use today, to minimize food and other products

loss. Pesticides do not solve the problem, albeit eased for awhile, but in

the recent years aggravate it, as a result of their massive uiiil uncontrolled

use in pest control. Insects develop resistance against th. chemicals used

everywhere; ecological and pollution diasters are common; and biological

equilibrium is easily destroyed. Furthermore, cost of these chemicals is

constantly rising.

Several new approaches have been tried in recent years. Examples are the U=L

of predators and pathogenes specific to target pests, freeing sterilized irales

to reduce reproduction and lately, monitoring of pests by pheroraones for better

timing and a more efficient way of pesticide application.

The preliminary positive results of mass trapping and especially of disruption

of communication between males and females by sex pheromones, or inhibitors,

strengthen the hope for their having the key role in integrated pest control.

This way of management is based on better understanding of the biological,

electrophysiological, chemical and other aspects of insect behavior and

pheromone activity; and most important is studying the possibility of mutation

development (as equivalent to resistance to pesticides] under wide use of

pheromones in their future application.

ELECTROLYTIC CONDUCTION MECHANISMS IN NONPOLAR SOLVENTS

E. GILEADI

Dept. of Chemistry, Tel-Aviv University, Tel-Aviv 69978, Israel

Unusually high electrolytic conductivity is observed for H_0+ and Oh" in water

and similar protic solvents (mostly alcohols) due to a nonStokesian hopping

mechanism, proposed first by Grotthus. A similar mechanism is assumed to

account for the observed conductivity in pure sulfuric and phosphoric acids.

A study of the enhancement of the conductivity of acids as a function of theconcentration of water in mixed solvents of water/acetonitrile and water/tetra-hydrofurane showed no effect until the concentration of water reached about 5f-;.or U * of that in pure water.

A similar study of the conductivity of Br" in mixtures of bromine and nitro-

Denzene confirmed that a hopping mechanism is predominant in these nonpolar

solvents. Hopping becomes important when the concentration of bromine in the

solvent mixture exceeds 2f>i, whic. is ££ 1Q% of pure bromine.

When a dilute solution of bromide in pure bromine is frozen, the measuredconductivity increases by a factor of about one hundred. This is consistentwith the hopping mechanism of electrolytic conduction and the existence of along range order in the solid.

The conductivity of I" in liquid I_ exhibits similar characteristics. In both

I7 and Br, the walden product decreases with increasing temperature. Such behav-

iour is expected if a nonStokesian mechanism of conductivity is predominant and

is observed in aqueous solutions only for the H30+ and the OH" ions.

Solutions of KBr and Al?Br in an aromatic hydrocarbon were developed as a plat-ing bath for Al. The molar conductivity is unexpectedly high for such a nonpolarsolvent and increases rapidly with increasing concentration. The Walden productdecreases with increasing temperature in concentrated solutions. All the experi-mental observations are consistent with the assumption that aggregates of ionsand neutral molecules are formed in this system and hopping of ions betweenaggregates 1s the mechanism giving rise to the high conductivity.

DEVELOPMENTS IN THE APPLICATION OF R-IR AND RAMAN SPECTROSCOPYTO POLYMER CHEMISTRY

B.J. BULKIN

Vibrational spectroscopy has been used for many years to study various aspects

of polymer chemistry and structure. Examples such as the analysis of polymer

crystal Unity are well established for several cases. In recent years, there

have been major advances in instrumentation which have expanded the horizons

for use of vibrational spectroscopy in the polymer field.

Application of Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) techniques as well as new

computational approaches on digital spectra to polymer problems have signif-

icantly changed the role which infrared spectroscopy can play in addressing

polymer problems. This will be illustrated from work in our laboratory on

tne dynamics of polymer degradation under varying environmental conditions,

and on evaluation of curing reactions.

Raman instrumentation has also evolved in this period. One of the most

interesting new developments is rapid scanning Raman spectroscopy, which we

are applying to polymer problems for the first time. It will be shown that

this technique can provide unique information about the dynamics of polymer

crystallization. Indeed, it is one of the only ways that crystallization

can be viewed at the molecular (functional group) level, and it offers the

potential of separating the stages of tne crystallization process.

The lyomesophases of the disodium cromoglycate (DSCG) water system were studiedOH

by D , 0 and Na NMR. Depending on the temperature ana concentration of DSCG

three different mesophases exist: below -4°C a relatively highly ordered uni-

axial smectic like phase (phase III) which had not been previously reported ^

exists. Above -4°C this phase transforms to either the N or M phase. The

dividing line between these two phases is at about 18 wt.* DSCG. The N phase

which appears at the lower concentration end is a nematic phase which reorients

in a magnetic field whereas the M pnase is smectic like and does not reorient

in a magnetic field. There is no discontinuity in the ordering characteristics

of both the water and the sodium ions upon the N Z M transition,suggesting that

these two phases have similar ordered structures. These are believed to be

columns of stacked DSCG molecules which in the N phase exhibit only orientation-

al order while in the M phase they possess positional order as well, and are

packed in an hexagonal array. The phase transition from the N,M phases to phase

III is accompanied by a marked change in the water ordering which can be obtain-

ed from the ^D and " 0 quadrupolar splittings of enriched water. The ^ N a

spectrum is particularly sensitive to this transition where a large change in

both quadrupolar splitting and linewidth takes place. As the N and M phases,

phase III is a type II phase (A>;O). however its detailed structure is still23unknown. The study of the Na spectra as function of the DSCG concentration,

temperature and added NaCl as well as other electrolytes indicates the existenceof two solvation sites in which the sodium ions experience quadrupole interac-tions of opposite signs. It is suggested that these sites correspond to (I) Na ,forming intermolecular electrostatic bonds within the columnar structure of theDSCG mesophases and (II) hydrated sodium ions dissolved in the bulk environment.

Absorption spectra, fluorescence excitation spectra and fluorescence quantum

states of large molecules cooled in planar supersonic jets were determined using a

pulsed xenon lamp and a monochromator. Planar supersonic expansions from a nozzle

in tne interrogation region are suitable for the study of absorption spectra of

large molecules in jets. The use of a pulsed xenon lamp as a light source made

it possible to record the lamp-induced fluorescence (LMIF) spectrum simultan-

eously with the absorption spectrum. The ratio between the LMIF signal and the

absorption signal of each spectral feature give the relative quantum yields Y

(relative to the electronic origin (0) of S^). These relative Y values can be

calibrated using a reference molecule to give absolute emission quantum yields

from photoselected vibrational states.

DEUTERATION EFFECTS IN THE MULTIPHONONRELAXATION OF CRYSTALS

4 2+Replacement of H«0 by D«0 increased the lifetime of the T, state of Mnin CsMnCU.2H?0 from 0758 ms to 9.2 ms at 1.6K. However, the shape of thephonon siae-band of the optical transition was only sl ightly changed bythe substitution.The paradox is resolved by noting that Franck-Condon factors for radiation-less transitions fa l l off at least exponentially with the number of vibra-tional quanta. This makes high-frquency oscillators strongly favoured alsoin solids. I t is therefore possible to explain the fifteenfold decreasein the relaxation rate upon deuteration solely on the assumption that onlyOH- and OD-stretch mode'ii participate in the decay process. The parametersrequired for a quantitative explanation are taken directly from spectro-scopic data. The phonon side-band is essentially governed by the effectivephonon density of states appropriate to the transition and is irrelevantto the decay rate.The probable mechanism whereby an optically excited metal ion activatesOH-stretch phonons involves a change in the delta-bonding between the metalion and the water molecule. We have indications that this bonding depends

I delicately on the spin configurations of the metal ion orbitals and thatsmall changes in bonding can produce relatively large changes in decay

\ rates. '\ We suggest for future research in solids that nonradiative decay, throughX i ts specificity for hinh-frequency vibrations, be used as a probe of subtle• quantum-mechanical interactions between relatively remote atoms.

TWO DIMENSIONAL CORRELATION NMR SPECTROSCOPY IN ROTATING SAMPLES

S. VEGAIsotope Department, The Weizmann Institute of Science, 76100 Rehovot, Israel

During the last few years magic angle sample spinning (MASS) has evolved to an

important technique in high resolution NMR spectroscopy on solids. Specifically,

of all the various high resolution solid state methods developed in the last

twenty years, MASS is one of the most widely applicable and useful. The

"liquid like" spectra obtained during MASS experiments make this technique

favourable over other NMR techniques. Lately it was demonstrated that MASS

can be incorporated into a number of other pulse NMR experiments. In general,

the approach taken is to employ a multiple pulse technique to manipulate parts

of the nuclear spin Hamiltonian in a MASS experiment. The results of these

experiments consists of enhanced and highly resolved spectra.- Techniques which

were combined with MASS are homonuclear dipolar decoupling techniques, chemical

shift scaling and double quantum NMR. In addition, these techniques can also be

incorporated into two dimensional NMR experiments. In particular 2D experiments

were performed to detect heteronuclear chemical shift correlation and double

quantum coherences in rotating samples. The general approach of these experi-

ments involves homo- and heteronuclear decoupling during the evolution period

followed by a coheronco transfer or mixing period and ended by a detection period

with heteronuclear docoupling. Several methods for coherence transfer were

examined experimentally and theoretically. In all MASS experiments which were

combined with multiple pulse techniques additional spectral lines were detected

at frequencies equal to multiples of the frequency of the sample rotation. The

origin of these rotor frequency lines was explained by using the Floquet

formalism.

Molecular fragmentation on vessel walls is of fundamental importance in many

a first principle-theoretical point of view. In this research we investigated

the mechanisms of molecular dissociation, upon collision with a surface, in or-der to establish a first principle physical model for such reactions. Thisstudy is done in collaboration with the experimental group of Professor A.Arrirav of the University of Tel Aviv.Ue obtained the following results in our research:

(a) The rotation excitation is dominant. The vibrational energy of the scat-tered molecule (below the dissociation threshold) is smaller by orders of mag-nitude than the rotational one:(b) I t is shown that the dissociation follows a rotational mechanisi.i: Thetorque exerted by the surface on the molecule results in large rotational exci-tation and thus in "Centrifugal bursting":(c) A simple estimate is given for the velocity dependence of the dissociation .

(d) The details of the process (fragments' velocity and annular spectra) is

described by a successive multiple collision mechanism.The following features were obtained:-(1) 'iainbow spike in the fragments' angular spectra. In addition those soectra

include a specular dip and a very broad background.

(2) Doubly peaked velocity distribution.Those observables might be very useful in studying different types of surface-

The mechanism of adsorption of hydrogen atoms on a Li+F~ crystal, is an importa-

nt step towards the understanding of the adsorption of hL molecules on the

crystal. These results can be important for the improvement of solar cells of

the photoelectrochemical type. We present a theory in which we consider three

electronic configurations associated with a hydroqen atom in contact with the

crystal. These configurations are: H with the perfect crystal, H~ with the

crystal + hole, H + with the crystal + electron. Our aporoach is based on the

semi-empirical Valence-Bond method, from which we obtain adiabatic and diabatic

potential energy surfaces. The main results of our study are-: (1) The most

probable adsorption site is the center of the cell. (2) The adiabatic

potential energy barrier for penetration to the first layer is about 0.6eV, and

about 2.2eV from the first to the second layer, making it nossible to consider

the existence of penetration by tunnelino of a hydroaen atom. The model was

extended to treating the effect of a hydrogen atom imbedded in the surface or

trapped in the first layer, on the adsomtion of H+ on the crystal surface.

These studies shed light on the mechanism of formation of hydrogen molecules in

the vicinity of the photoelectrochemical cell electrodest

FORMATION AND STRUCTURE OF SELF-ASSEMBLING MONOLAYERS. ORDER-DISORDER AND

KINETICS STUDIES.

J. GUN, J. SAGIV

Dept. of Isotope Research, The Weizmann Institute of Science, Rehovot, Israel

Artificial organized films, initially inspired from biological systems like

membranes, are becoming a very important aim of modern chemistry. The self-

assembly technique allows the construction, in a controllable and reproducible

manner, of surfaces coated with organized monolayers or multilayer organic

films. This approach presents some important advantages over the classical

Langmuir-Blodgett technique. The formation and structure of adsorbed mono-

layers of long chain acids and a long chain silane are investigated using

Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and wettability measurements.

Polarized and non-polarized attenuated total reflection (ATR) spectroscopy are

the two FTIR techniques employed in this study. RA spectroscopy of monolayer

films on aluminium mirrors is shown to be a useful tool in the detection of

order-disorder transformations accompanying interactions of a highly oriented

monolayer with a chemical external agent. Covalently bonded silane monolayers

are shown to be perfectly stable under conditions causing a major deteriora-

tion of the structure of adsorbed fatty acid films. The adsorption of fatty

ncids on aluminium is found to involve physical forces only. ATR spectroscopy

on Si and ZnSe prisms provides quantitative data on the kinetics of monolayer

formation and solvent inclusion and its evaporation from tho film structure.

The results are interpreted in terms of the mode of film-to-surface binding

and the shape and size of the solvent molecules.

function of surface coverane, ultra-sonic treatment and a^in", was observed.

These species include monomeric adsorbed molecules, adsorbed dimers, and dye

molecules trapped and concentrated within tactoidal cages. Various adsorption

conformations could be sunaested in some cases. All these species cave rise to

specific blue or red shifted absorption (metachromasy) and emission maxima.

Follow up of these new peaks as a function of concentration chanqes was found

to be convenient and useful tool in determination of saturation points. These

pave rise to new types of adsorption isotherms. In many cases, the ratio

within the adsorbed species was found to be sensitive to ultrasonic treatment.

The use of this energy source in connection wi1:h absorption and emission spectra

of adsorbed molecules on clays, is novel. Double and triple energy transfers

between co-adsorbed dyes have been observed (E.o., rhodamine 6G - rhodamine B).

The use of such enerqy Transfers in studying ornano-clay suspensions will be

demonstrated. These and other investigations on photoorocesses as a tool

PHOTODISSOCIATinrJ IBr LASER AS A CANDIDATE FOR SOLAR DOWERED LASER

In principle, one of the more efficient ways of harvesting solar enercy is the

direct conversion of light to chemical energy. However a basic limitation in

such applications is that only a well defined and very narrow band of the solar

spectrum is ever used, Liqht outside the effective band leads to heat or

unwanted products. In order to overcome this Iirait3ticr we -:roDosc to orocess

the light so that the energy contained in it could h? channeled into the desired

spectral bands. Our approach is based on drivino lassrs by neans concentrated

solar radiation. The laser light thus obtained could be used directly for a

variety of photochemical applications* In order to ounm the laser we propose

to use a central receiver capable of generating radiation fields intense enough

In th is study pa r t i a l v ibra t iona l energy d is t r ibu t ions fo l lowing C0« laser mul-

PREPARATION AND SPEaRAL ANALYSIS OF BACTERIOCHLOROPHYLL DIMERS IN VITRO

BY AN EXTENDED VERSION OF EXCITONIC INTERACTIONS

A. SCHERZ, W.W. PARSON*Biochemistry Department, Weizmann Institute of Science, Rehovot 76100, israel

*Department of Biochemistry, University of Washington, Seattle, Washington, USA

Qilorophyils and bacteriochlorophylls, serve as energy collectors and electron carriers in

green plants and photosynthetic bacteria. The pigments generally are bound to proteins as

complexes that contain from two to six molecules of chlorophyll or bacreriochlorophyil together

with their free-base analogues, The absorption spectra of these complexes differ sig-ificantly

from the spectra of the monomeric pigments in_ vitro. The lowest lying (Qy) absorption band

is shifted to longer wavelength and in some cases has a substantially larger oscillator strength

and rotational strength. The four bacteriochlorophylls in reaction centers of Rhodopseudomonas

sphaeroids, for example have absorption bands at 800 and 865 nm, compared to 775-780 nm

for BChl in organic solvents Also, the combined dipole strength for the in vivo Qy transition

is 64 debye^ versus 39 debye per 1 BChl, The origin for the differences is important because

they probably reflect the setting which enables bacteriochlorophyll and chlorophyll, to be

universal electron donors: Recently, we isolated relatively woll defined dimers and higher

oligomers of bacteriochlorophyll and bacteriopheophytin. The procedure involves trapping of

a desired number of chromophores in large micelles of LDAO (Lauryl dimethylamine oxide),

aftei which a careful study of the spectral changes through the conversion of monomer to dimer

was possible. We could observe a decrease of oscillator strength in the VIS-U,V, region (hypo-

chromisrr.) compensated by ao absorption i.-crease in the n.i.r, (hyperchromism). A great increase

of optical activity with non conservative individual elements could be seen. The simultaneous

changes in nor degenerate transitions pointed to mixing of various states via dipolar interac-

tions. We therefore evaluated the ground and excited states of the dimers in terms of pertur-

bation !heory where, to the zero order function that result from excitonic interaction between

Jegenerare states, first order perturbation of non degenerate states was added. For example,

the lower most transition of the dimer was shown to have some contribution of the monomeric

By transition. These effects enhanced the inspected strength of the absorption and the optical

activity in the n.i.r. region. The theory accounts quantitatively to most of the spectral pro-

perties of chlorophyll and bacteriochlorophyll aggregates in vivo and in_ vitro and may lead

to reevaluation of some data concerning with primary electron donation in photosynthesis

The disproportionation equilibrium of a single electron transfer product, A*,

Humic substances are probably the most widely distributed natural products

occurring in soils, lakes, rivers and sea. They are amorphous polymer-like

substances of molecular weight ranging from several hundred to tens of thousands.

Marine humic substances (humic and fulvic acids i have been suggested to be

derived from sugar-amino acid condensation. The objectives of this investigation

were to synthesize a series of melanoidins and to compare their physical and

chemical properties with natural humics. In this presentation we report the

results obtained by permanganate oxidation of melanoidins. The main products

identified by GC and GC/MS include a series of aliphatic mono- and di-carboxyii.:

acids and benzene carboxylic acids. Some of these acids were essentially the

same as those produced by permanganate oxidation of humic and fulvic acids.

The possible routes leading to the formation of the oxidation products of the

melanoidins and the geo-organic significance of these findings will be presented.

Multiphase polymer system have been used more fo r mecnanistic studies than for

system and a c i rcu la t ing car r ie r ("Shadchan"). A greatly s impl i f ied schematic

Polymer I carries an N-protected ami no acid which is bound as an active ester.Polymer I I is a Merrifield-type polymer carrying an anino acid or pentide whosefree carboxyl terninal is Dound as "benzyl" ester to tha polymer.The soluble carrier, a, is a compound capable of preserving the free energy ofan active ester (imidazole, 1-hydroxybenzotriazole, etc.). The UV cells providecontinuous monitoring of the reaction's progress by comparing the optical densi-ties of solutions entering and leaving compartment I I .

Using this approacn we nave synthesized a few short peptides as v/ell as a pro-tected derivative of leu-enkephalin in high yield and 99% purity (HPLC, aninoacid analysis).The "Shadcnan" principle, as described for peptide synthesis, has general appli-cabi l i ty for the coupling of two species by displacement (equations 1,2).

POLYMERIC 4-ALKYLAMINOPYRIDINIUM SPECIES AS STABLE ACY. TRANSFER REAGENTS

K.A. JAC03S0N and A. PATCHORNIK, Dept. of Organic Chemistry, Weizmann

Institute of Science, Rehovot, Israel.

Two polymers containing immobilized 4-dimethylaminopyridine derivativesx ' '

were converted into stable, polymer-bound l-acyl-4-alkylaminopyridinium chloride

salts. I t was demonstrated that the acyl group is highly reactive towards

amines and thiols and, to a lesser degree, towards alcohols, effecting acyiation

without the need for addition of base. With carboxylic acids, symmetric or mixed

anhydrides are formed. Similarly, phosphoryl and sulfonyl groups have been

immobilized as the reactive 4-alkylaminopyridinium salts which were used in

synthesis. The acyl group may be transferred from the polymer in a soluble

reactive form upon treatment with imidazole; thus, the polymeric acyl

pyridinium species is proposed as a "bank" in the shadchan method of synthesis

using multi-polymeric systems and a circulating solvent * .

Recently, we have reported a novel base-catalyzed cyclodimerization of d ia l leny l

Subsequently, we have tested th is mechanism on monoallenic sulfones, and have

shown that treatment of Y,Y-dimethylallenyl phenyl sulfone (]_) with rv-BuLi under

the same conditions (THF, 0°C) led to vinylal lene Z_, while i f the same reaction

is run at re f lux temperature, the expected cyclodimer 2 can be obtained, but

only as a mixture with i t s precursor i . Surpr is ingly, we have now found that

i f sulfone 1_ is f i r s t treated with one equivalent of j i -BuLi, and next with one

equivalent of sulfone ^ , both at -78° , the only product observed is the 1,3-

dimethylenecyclobutane derivat ive 5_. Unequivocal structure proof of compound

£ was obtained by X-ray crystal 1ographic analysis, which also shows the two

sulfonyl groups in a trans conf igurat ion. The results may be explained in terms

of the re la t ive s t a b i l i t i e s of the corresponding vinyl allene carbanions. This

novel and convenient approach to the synthesis of 1,3-dimethylenecyclobutanes

nicely complements the thermal cyclodimerization of allenes to 1,2-dimethylene-

The morphology of a growing crvstal is directly related to the relative

growth rates of its faces, with the general rule that those faces whirh

grow slower appear as larrer faces. A controllinr factor in crystal growth

is the energy of the interactions between neighboring Molecules. The

; crucial relationship is between the layer energy - which measures the

' stability of a layer parallel to a face (hkl) and the attachment energy -

I whicu is related to the growth rat« perpendicular to this face.

f Thi* taeorctical form of organic crystals was studied by *;2ans of aton-aton

potential energy calculations. The effect of "tailor-made" additives on the

morphology was studied by substituting substrate molecules at various

( crystal surface sites with an impurity. The theoretical results were

, compared with experimental morphologies of crystals grown in the absence

and in the presence of the same additives. In those cases where there was

a discrepancy between the calculated and observed morphologies, the

deviation could be explained by preferential adsorption of solvent molecules

* at specific faces of the crystal. The potential energy at closest approach

distances of various crystal faces was mapped and orovided an explanation

for this prediction.

The key steps in the synthesis involve allylic coupling reactions based on

Unlike the vinyl-cyclopropane system in (1) which cycleedds TCNE exclusivelyin the [24-2] cycloaddition fashion ( ! • £ ) , similar reaction of TCNE withdivtnyl-cyclopropane system in (2) leads to an adduct containing seven-membered ring (2 •»• £ ) . In view of these, we became interested to determinewhether the reaction of TCNE with the isoweric butadienyl-«p£n?-cyc1opropanesystem in (5) would lead to a di-apiiv adduct containing cyclopropane (6)and/or an angular tri-cyclic adduct containing a large ring (seven- or nine-aembered ring), (T) or (8).

Potassium graphite intercalate - CgK is a highly ordered reagent i.e.

potassium atoas are arranged in defined sites in the graphite lattice.

Therefore, it is expected to react with organic substances in a different -

•ore specific «ode relative to potassium metal. Previously we could show that

CgK can be used for binolecular reductions of e.g. ketones to pinacols.

In a search for further applications of this reagent, it was found that

benzil is converted by CgK to phenanthrenequinone and that other a-diketones

afforded quinones. During the reaction hydrogen gas evolution was observed

and followed kinetically. _ ,,i 8

Eaployaent of aqueous sodiun hydroxide under phase transfer catalysis

•any ba**-catalys«d organic reactions. Deut©ration of organic acids has been

pwfen—a in the presence of quaternary aawonium salts. So far deuteration

has been limited to compounds as, or more, acidic than thiazole. We have

shewn that the hydroxide ion nay be extracted into the organic phase under

PTC/OH" ceftuitions and that an increased basicity of the hydroxide ion is

expected, relative to that of the hydroxide ion acting at the interface. This

.difference is due to their relative state of hydration. This enhanced

basicity has been applied to extend the scope of PTC/OH" base catalysed

reactions. Deuteration of very weak carbon'acids even as weak as ortho-

halotoluenes and related compounds have been performed under extractive

The reaction is general for a wide variety of primary alcohols and character-ized by high conversion and selectivity. Diols (a,u) yield lactones.The above catalytic conversion proceeds in two steps:

RCHO + RCH20H »- RCOgCHgR + 2[H]

A complex equilibrium system involving the organic substrates as well as organ-ometallic intermediates prevails during the oxidation reaction. The aldehydepersists in a steady state concentration and a degenerate alcohol aldehydeinterconversion takes place.

1 2In an extension of Wallach rearrangement studies • into the

phenylazoxypyridine series, an investigation of 4 - , 3- and 2-phenylazoxypyri-

dines, uie N-oxides and methiodides is reported. Oxidation ot 4- and 3-

phenylazopyridine with peracetic acid gives rise to the a and £ phenylazoxy-

pyridine-N-oxides, contrary to previous l i terature reports on the obtention

of the a isomers solely. 2-Phenylazopyridine, however, yielrjs only the

2-(phenyl-a-azoxy)-pyridine-N-oxide. These results are rationalized on the

basis of f i e l d , resonance and steric effects. An unprecedented reactivity

difference has been observed in the reactions of the a,8 isomers of phenyl-

azoxypyridines under conditions of the Wallach rearrangement. This reactivity

difference permits the isolation of the a azoxy isomers from the a,6 mixtures,

and provides clues concerning the rearrangement mechanism.

Unequivocal confirmation of the structures has been obtained from

X-ray crystal structure determinations of two representative compounds in

this series, v iz . 4-(phenyl-6-azoxy)pyridine-N-oxide (1_) and 4-(phenyl-a-azoxy)

pyridinium methiodide (2) which i tse l f was formed by deoxygenation of

4-(phenyl-a-azoxy)pyridine-N-oxide, followed by methvlation with methyl iodide.

Structural differences between J_ and 2_ bear analogy to the differing reac-

t i v i t i es of a and e phenylazoxypyridines in the Wallach rearrangement, being

related to charge delocalizabil ity in the ground state and in the transition

Alloys of II-VI and IV-VI semiconductors are used in electrical and opto-

electronic devices. For these applications, high purity single crystals are

required. Usually, the synthesis of the material is part of the crystal growth

process and is carried out at temperatures above the liquidus of the system.

Solid solutions of eight pseudobinary metal chalcogenides: (PbSn)Te, (PbSn)Se,

(HgCd)Te, (HgZn)Te, (CdZn)Te, Cd(TeSe) and Pb(TeSe) were prepared at low

temperatures from their elements. Complete reaction was oDserved at tempera-

tures significantly lower than their melting points, in 3-7 days. Homogenization

required annealing at higher temperatures, for up to 14 days, but still at

temperatures below the melting points. The compositions of the alloys were

determined by XRD. Working at low temperatures, reduces charge contamination

by impurity diffusion from the auartz ampoule, thus providing an improved

technique for obtaining semiconductor materials.

Many acceptors have been shown to dope poiyacetylene (CH)X to the metallic

state. The conductivity of the (CH)X films may change as much as twelve orders

of magnitude in this process. We have found two new classes of acceptor com-

pounds which dope polyacetylene to the metallic state: the metal hexafluorides

and pentafluorides. This should make it possible to study systematically the

effect of electron configuration and associated properties on those of the re-

sulting doped polymers. The electrical conductivities and weight uptakes of

(CH)X films exposed to MF6 (M = Se, Te, Mo, W, Re, Os, Ir, U) and to HFS (M =

Nb, Ta, Mo, W, Ru, Bi) vapors were Pleasured. The maximum conductivities reached

with MFs vapors indicate an inverse correlation with their election affini-

ties. The most likely reaction is

(CH)X * nMFfi - [CH+(MF;)n]x

Similarly, the maximum conductivities attained with MF5 vapors show an inverse

correlation with their fluoride ion affinities. These inverse correlations may

be due to increased charge localization leading to lower mobilities of the

charge carriers, as has been postulated for the analogous graphite intercala-

tion compounds, or martial fluorination, with consequent decreased mobilitie:.

Curves of conductivities vs. degree of doping obtained for WF,, NoF, and UFCare qualitatively similar to those obtained with AsF, and 1 ., showinc; a

semiconductor to metal transition at about 2-5% doping. Esr spectra at these

Part of calcium oxalate !<idney stones are formed around a nidus of uric acid.This study was undertaken to determine whether epitaxial growth of calciumoxalate occurs on crystals of uric acid or sodium urate. An experimentalsystem of calcium oxalate metastable solutions was defined and monitored byspecific calcium electrode. The metastable condition was ascertained byconstancy of the electrode measurement during the specified period and lackof visible turbidity. Seed crystals of either uric acid or sodium uratewere introduced into the solution and the decrease of calcium ion concentra-tion was noted. The seed crystals were separated and inspected by SFtt. The

presence of calcium on the surface of the seed crystal was measurso' by analy-sis of induced x-ray radiation (LINK). It has been found that calcium oxalateis deposited on sodium urate in a time interval compatible with the urineresidence in the kidney, but no deposition on uric acid seeds was observed.These results which are in excellent agreement with the conclusions of studiesin the0 literature form are in conflict with the clinical fact, that uricacid is found in niddi of calcium oxalate stones. In light of this irrelationthe above described experiments with uric acid were modified by addition of4-5 ppm glutamic acid.

Carbonated hydroxyapatites (CA) containing Mg and Sr were synthesized and

their composition, crystal properties and solubility investigated. The present

study reports the thermal analyses of these compounds by thermogravimetry (TG).

Hydroxyapatite samples with a carbonate content up to 8.0%, Mg up to 0.6%

and Sr up to 0.15% were studied. The TG analyses were performed in the

temperature range of 25°-950°C, at a heating rate of 10°C/min under nitrogen

gas flow. Following TG, the samples were analysed by IR and by X-ray

diffraction (XRD). The TG diagrams obtained indicate a gradual decomposition

of the carbonate in the samples between 350°-950°C. The weight loss related to

complete decomposition of carbonate agreed well with carbonate determined by2 +

IR; in case of Mg weight loss was significantly higher than carbonate found

by IR. XRD patterns of the decomposed samples showed in addition to the

apatite phase the presence of whitlockite, (Ca, Mg)3(P0O2, in all the Mg

containing samples. The lattice constant a of the decomposed CA was in

most"cases higher than in the apatites before heat treatment. The higher

weight loss associated with Mg containing CA might be due to carbonate out-

side the apatite phase or another decomposing ion. Increase in Mg++ content

causes an increase in the amount of the decomposition products.

A NEW FEATURE OF HYDROLYSIS OF METAL IONS IN SOLUTION:

DIMERIZATION OF HYDROXOAQUA IONS

M. ARDON*, B. MAGYAR**

* Dept. of Inorganic & Analytical Chemistry, Hebrew University, Jerusalem, Israel** Laboratories fur anorganische Chemie, ETH, Zurich

The bridging of metal ions by means of hydrogen oxide bridges (H302) was first

reported by Bino and Gibson1 in crystals of salts of trinuclear cluster ions

of molybdenum and tungsten. The H302 bridge is formed by a short symmetrical

hydroaen Dond between an H80 liqand of one metal atom and a hydroxo ligand of

another. Recently2 this bridge was shown to exist in crystals of classical

"hydroxoaqua" ions, such as the so-called cis-bis bipyridil hydroxoaquachromium

(III) ion which is in fact a doubly bridged dimer [(bpy)2Cr(H30s)2Cr(bpy)£3't+.

This bridging by HjO2 is quite general and exists in crystals of all the

"hydroxoaqua" ions investigated^ far3 (including both "cis" and "trans"

configurations). Our present picture of hydrolysis of metal ions in solution

may have to be radically altered if aqua ions such as Cr(HaC)50H24 exist as

dimers in aqueous solution. Preliminary evidence obtained by Three Phase VaDor

Tensiometry (TPVT) measurements of [Cr(bpy)2(H20)(0H)3£+ in a saturated f.a(?;0..):

solution, confirm that at relatively high concentration (0.2M) most of the

chromium ions are dimers.

AN ac IMPEDANCE AND OPTICAL STUDY OF OXIDE FILMS

J . RISHPON, S. GOTTESFELDDepartment of Chemistry, Tel-Ayiv University, »amat Aviv, Israel

Combined eiiipsometric and ac impedance measurements were employed for in-situ

investigation of anodic oxide films on Ru and I r , and of oxide films formed by

thermal decomposition of Ru chloride. These oxides exhibit electro-catalyticy

act iv i ty in the oxygen evolution reaction, which is correlated to the oxide

structure, i ts water content, and i ts ionic and electronic conductivities.

The ellipsometric measurements provided information on oxide thickness,

porosity and water content. Film growth on the metal was controlled and monitor-

ed by the computerized automated system developed by us, and charging processes

occurring in the f i lm as a result of changes in the applied bias were followed.

I t was found that cathodic polarization of Ru oxide films causes an increase in

the water content of the f i lm. The ac impedance measurement performed auto-

matically in a large frequency range provided information about the kinetics of

the double injection processes of protons and electrons into the oxide layer as

a function of oxide thickness and structure, electrolyte composition, and

applied bias. The ac impedance results were analyzed in terms of equivalent

circui ts . The charging process in Ru oxide was found to depend mainly on proton

mobility within the f i lm. I t could be resolved into a faster mode, attributed

to charging of grain surfaces, and a slow bias dependent mode which involves

incorporation of aqueous protons into oxide grains. The effective diffusion11 l? "

reversible protonation of the basic NK3 groups present in the anion exchange

From a general chemical point of view, alkali metal cations, if immobilized by

the attachment to uncharged crownether polymers, are excellent candidates for

the required positive charges of an AM. In this communication, we describe the

preparation of such membranes, and the way in which transport and polarization

tests were carried out in a four compartment cell. The results indicate

absence of water splitting at the surface of the new immobilized crownether

HEITNER-WIRGUINOept. of Inorganic & Analytical Chemistry, The Hebrew University, Jerusalem,Israel.The composition and structure of ionic clusters in a series of cation exchangemembranes has been investigated by infrared spectrum, Mossbauer effect andtransmission electron microscopy. From these measurements the clusters weredefined as a function of membrane type, capacity and solvent. The diffusionof a series of cations in two membranes has also been studied and ionic fluxesand apparent diffusion constants evaluated. The water uptake of the membranein the various cationic forms explains the trends in the rate of diffusionwhich differ from those in the conventional crosslinked ion exchangers. Theresults obtained here may be interpreted in terms of a model consisting of ionclusters in the polymeric matrix. The rate of transport is related to therelative amount of ions in the clusters, as well as to the mean diameter sizeof the clusters formed.

An electrochemical cell was designed and constructed for the measurement of thebarrier membrane potential, the lianid between the two membranes that constitu-ted the barrier beino a mixture of a liquid cation and a liquid anion exchanger.

The barrier membrane is interposed between two anueous salt solutions of knownconcentrations, one of which serves as the reference, the other is the samplecontaining 1 and j ions. The membrane potential, E, is measured notentiometri-caily with the aid of two identical Ao/AoCWKCl sat. reference electrodes, onein each of the salt solutions.

The DOtential difference between the reference and the sample solutions isqiven by the general equation: E « En + PT/F ln(a! + K..a')

0 1 \l J I

where:r " - a constant related to the reference electrodes and the reference0 solution; "

a^ and a! - the activities of ions i and i, resnectively, in the samniesolution;

K - - the selectivity constant of the harrier membrane.The selectivity constant, K^» an intrinsic prODerty of the barrier membranefor qiven i and j ions, is a function of the ion-exchanne reaction in the inter-ohase and o* the ion mobilities in the membrane nhase .The new electrochemical cell permits the exnerimental determination, of K.•,which in turn provides basic information on the mobility of the liquid ionexchangers' functional groups and the state of aggregation. This is, incident-ally, also a way of rapidly obtaininq data on the selectivity of an ion-exchan-ger for ions i and j.In the present work potentiometric measurements were made on membranes enclosinga mixture of liquid anion and cation exchanqers and a diluent.The effects of the diluent's dielectric constant, the ratio between the anionand the cation exchanger, and of their concentrations, on the magnitude of K..and the oronerties of the barrier membrane were studied.

This method was employedin a kinetic study of the hydrolysis of PPDA in the pH range of 2 to 12 attemperatures of 2b°, 3bc, ana 45°C. Two parallel competing reactions wereobserved: "The acid-catalyzed reaction produced ammonia and phenyl phosphor-amidic acid; the base-catalyzed reaction yielded phenol and phospnorodiamidicacid. Phenol and phenyl phosphoramidic acid were also determined by HPLC.Apparent first-order rate constants were determined for the hydrolysis of PPDAas a function of pH and temperature. Activation energies of 9.4 and 13.0 kcal/mole were obtained for the acid- and base-catalyzed reactions, respectively.

THE USE OF METAL ADDITIVE IN REVERSED PHASE LIQUID CHROMATOGRAPHY:

STRUCTURE-RETENTION RELATIONSHIPS

A. COHEN, E. 6RUSHKA

Dept. of Inorganic & Analytical Chemistry, The Hebrew University, Jerusalem,Israel.

Nucieotides, nucleosides and their bases, form complexes with the cations when

these are in the mobile phase. Since the nature of the complexes is different

from the parent compounds, their chromatographic behavior changes. The change

can be related to the properties and structures of the complexes. The metal

cations can complex with the phosphate moeity of the nucleotides and/or with the

base part of the molecule. This fact is reflected in the retention behavior of

these solutes. The following Table shows typical behavior.

In the table k1 is a measure of the partition coefficients and hence the reten-

tion tiroes. Mg causes a decrease in the retention of the bases as well as the

nanophosphate nucleotides shown in the Table. This metal is known to be bound to

the phosphate group only. However, the extent of retention change is roughly the same

for all solutes shown. Thus in the concentration range and pH used here, the effect of

the Mg ion added to the mobile phase may be related to changes in the ionic strength.

Similar arguments can be made when nickel ions are added to the mobile phase although

the increase in the retention of adenine should be noted. The use of copper ions gives

different results. Purines are known to complex Cu(II) better than pyri mi dines.

Indeed the retention of adenine and AMP increase significantly whi le that of cytosine

and, to some extent CMP, does not change much. Changes in the retention will

be correlated to physico-chemical properties of the metal complexes.

PSEUDOPLASTIC POLYMER AS A SUPPORT FOR ANALYTICAL SEPARATIONS

oC. GUTTEL, E. GRUSHKA ^Dept. of Inorganic & Analytical Chemistry, The Hebrew University, Jerusalem,Israel.A system consisting of solution of pseudoplastic gel, where the viscositydecreases upon a local increase in pressure or stress,possesses regions ofdifferent chemical potentials. Thus, impurities dissolved in the solution willpartition between these regions. This is the basis of a new purificationmethod. Solutions are prepared from Xanthan Gum and water to obtain a gel withnon-newtonian (pseudoplastic) properties; organic dyes are added as impurities.Xanthan gum is a polysaccharide with a main chain identical to cellulose anda side-chain containing two mannose units and one glucoronic acid unit. Byapplying a shear force, the viscosity of a 2% xanthan gum drops linearly from,100,000 to 100 cps for a shear rate range of 0.1 to 1000 sec'1. The experi-mental setup consists on glass capillary rods inserted into the gel. The rodsare rotated by a motor at fixed speeds; due to the rotation, a shear force isInduced on the gel in the vicinity of the rod and its viscosity drops theresharply. When the rod is rotated the gel starts rising into the capillary,andit contains much less impurities than the bulk. As an example, a pipet havinga 0.7 mm orifice was rotational at 350 rpm for 20 hours in a gel containingmethyl violet; at the end of the shear experiment, the dye concentration droppedfrom 40 to 3 ppm. In the same experimental conditions, methyl orange was foundto be much less rejected than methyl violet. The gel that filled the pipetafter a shear experiment was tested for its integrity by ultracentrifugation,circular dienrolsm and viscosity measurements. The purification process whichseems to occur at the entrance of the capillary has no influence on the struc-ture or molecular weight of the pseudoplastic polymer.

Surfactants being mostly long chain molecules with botn^hydro-

philic and lipophilic natures are non-volatile and therefore

difficult to elute by gas liquid chromatography. Several attempts

have been made to separate mixtures of the reaction products. The

use of HPLC technique seems to be most adequate for the separation,

quantitation and the internal structure of any given surfactant,

mainly of those applied in the food industry, is of significant

interest, since the health authorities are restricting their use

and require as full an analysis as can be achieved of the product.

This work describes an HLPC separation, identification and

quantitation of four main groups of surfactants: 1. Sorbitan

4. Ethoxylated fatty acids. No derivatization of the compounds

\A GAS POWERED HIGH-PRESSURE APPARATUS FOR THE ACID DISSOLUTION

Refractory,-single crystal aluminas cannot be dissolved in acids using the

conventional "Teflon" bomb techniques. However, at temperatures and '

pressures higher than those attainable using "Teflon",°the material does

dissolve.

An apparatus is described for the dissolution of refractory single-crystal

alumina. The sample is in contact only with hydrochloric acid and silica.

Samples are sealed in silica glass capsules which are, in turn, placed

inside a steel pressure vessel capable of being heated to 400 °C. Nitrogen

gas is used to supply a compensating pressure (up to 66 MPa; 9,600 psi) to

prevent^the capsules from 'bursting. The apparatus is equipped with means

of measuring temperature and. pressure during the course of the reaction.

Factors influencing the design and safety of the apparatus are described.

,4Jsing transparent high purity vitreous silica capsules and super-pure acid,

• samples can be dissolved for further analysis with minimum contamination.

Small chips of alumina may be dissolved without prior grinding and its

consequent contamination.

It is shown that heating the capsules to above 380 °C slows down the

reaction rate, presumable due to the necessity for the presence of liquid

water to remove aluminium chloride from the reacting surface.

The method is easily adaptable to other types of sample.y•7

The identification and characterization of different types of paper is of

obvious importance in forensic science. One of the more elegant, but less

well-known, ways of doing this is by the use of X-ray diffraction (XRD).

XRO techniques are rapid, non-destructive, and suitable for large or small

samples: ehey form a useful additional method for characterizing specimens

of paper.

The main ccr.situent of paper is cellulose fibre. The degree of crystallinity

of the fibres is a function of both the specific raw material and of

manufacturing process used. Using a specially developed sample support, the

crystallinity of a wide range of papers was measured using the Crystallinity

Ratio (CR) as a yardstick.

CR is defined as:-

C R , 1- \in 1I - I .max minj

where I and I . ' are the intensities of the 22.5°(26) peak and the 19°(29)max nunminimum (Cu K Q radiation) of the characteristic cellulose diffraction

pattern. CR is affected by neither sample thickness nor orientation and is

shown to be a good indicator of paper quality.

In many cases the minerals used as fillers in paper making can be identified

by XRO. It is shown that the mineralogy of the inorganic component of papers

can be a significant factor in thtir characterization.

THE INFLUENCE OF CHLORINE ADSORPTION ON THE ELECTRICALCONDUCTIVITY OF CARBON.

H. TOBIAS and A. SOFFERDivision of Chemistry, Nuclear Research Center-NegevP.O.Box 9001, Beer-Sheva- 84190, ISRAEL

The electrical conductivity (E.C) of an air activated charcaol fiber have beenmeasured during chlorine, dichlorodifluoromethane (freon 12) and propaneadsorption at various temperatures. Unlike freon and propane that had shownno detectable changes in conductivity upon their adsorption, chlorine had aremarked effect which indicated that there are at least two adsorption sitesof this gas on carbon- The very first adsorption doses cause an increase whilelater doses cause a drecrease in the E.C. This implies that the sites respon-sible for the increase in donductivity are the more reactive ones. At lowtemperature, namely 229°k, there is a decrease in conductivity throughout thewhole adsorption range. At high temperatures (723°k) the conductivity increasesthroughout this range. In order to interpret this behaviour it is assumed thatthe reactive sites are populated through activated adsorption that cannot takeplace at low temperatures. Proceeding one further step through this interpre-tation, we suggest that the activated adsorption is chemisorption that involvedisssociation of the Cl2 molecule and saturation of olefinic surface bonds.This is followed by strong physisorption which affects (decreases) conductivityfar more than the physisorption of the "inert" halocarbon and propane molecules.The kinetic behaviour of conductivity upon exposure of the adsorbent to anIncreased Cl2 pressure also supports the interpretation mentioned above: Atintermidiate temperatures, there 1s an immediate and sudden decrease in conduc-tivity during which adsorption, as monitored by the pressure decrease, comespractically to an end. This decrease in conductivity 1s then followed by asignificant increase that takes place at no further adsorption. It seems thusthat reorganization of adsorption sites namely slow activated transformationfrom physisorption to chemisorption takes place upon elapsed time. The depen-dence of the E.C. of carbon on adsorption will be interpreted 1n terms ofthe. semiconductor nature of this adsorption.

The Li-S couple has one of the highest theoretical energy densities, about

2600 Wh/kg. This value is greater by .150% than that of Li/MnO2 and greater

by about 70% than that of Li/SOClg ce l ls . Laboratory prototype button cells

having an SS case and a seal made of a combination of an organic elastomer and

cement, exhibit a high energy density and a ten-year room-temperature

(predicted) shelf l i f e . The electrolyte is 1M LiC104 dissolved in a THF-

toluene mixture saturated with l ithium polysulfide. The polysulfide reacts

with the l i thium anode to form a passivating layer which acts as a solid

e'^ctrolyte interphase (SEI). I ts res is t iv i ty is about 10 flcm. The e.m.f.

of the cel l changes from 2.38 to 2.15V depending on the composition of the

solutions. The energy density of the cel l is 730 wh/kg or 900 wh/kg at room

temperature and 950 wh/kg or 1200 wh/1 at 60°C (calculated on the basis of a l l

cel l components, excluding the case). The goal of this paper is to describe

the effect of temperature and electrolyte composition on cell performance and

on the conductivity of the electrolytes.

APPLICATIONS OF ENSEMBLES OF MICROELECTRODES

H. RELLER, E. KIROWA-EISNER and E. GILEADIDept. of Chemistry, Tel-Aviv University, Tel-Aviv, Israel

Today's technology in microelectronics enables fabrication of ensembles of

microelectrodes in which the diameter of an individual electrode can be as

small as a few micrometers. Possible applications of microelectrodes are in

analytical chemistry, in kinetic studies, in electrosynthesis and in electro-

catalysis. The objective of this work is to evaluate the advantages of micro-

electrodes in these f ie lds.

The advantages of microelectrodes in respect to in f in i te l y large electrodes is

the enhancement of current density, due to increased mass transport by the

radial diffusion component, and the decrease of ohmic potential drop.

From a kinetic point of view, microelectrodes are advantageous only under con-

dit ions in a time scale in which 6(R.,-R )>6>R / 3 , where R and Ro are the

radius of a microelectrode and the distance between the centers of adjacent

microelectrodes, respectively, and f is the width of the diffusion layer. For

very fast electrode reactions (ks>l cm/sec) microelectrodes with R <0.5un have

to be used. The use of an ensemble of microelectrodes for the study of fast

electrode reactions is l imi ted, since currently available pulse techniques can

measure faster rate constants than can be measured with ensembles of micro-

electrodes which have been fabricated so far.

From an analytical point of view,, microelectrodes are advantageous under condi-

tions wnere f u l l overlap of adjacent diffusion layers takes place. The sensit i -

v i ty increases with the fraction of inactive area (area of insulator/total

area). However, Ro-R has to be kept smaller than lOOum to prevent convection

during tne time of measurement. For microelectrodes with R < 0.1 urn, the

detection l im i t may decrease by a factor of a thousand as compared with normal

pulse poiarography.

Enhancement of the l imi t ing current density may give rise to savings inexpensive electrode material in electrosynthesis and electrocatalysis.

g films on Ti substrates were prepared by electrocodeposition of Cu, Inand S from an aqueous bath containing CuCI, InCl3 thiourea, triethanolamineand ammonia followed by annealing in H~S at 400-550°C. Alternatively a Cu-In

2+ 3+alloy was depositedcfrom a Cu and In -containing bath, and this alloy wasthen converted into CuInS2 by heating in an H^S stream at ~550°C. The lattermethod has obvious advantages in terms of versatility with respect to stoichio-metry and type of chalcogen used.Both types of layers were characterized by X-ray diffraction and wavelenothdispersive X-ray fluorescence (microprobe), which confirmed their chalcopyritestructure and stoichiometry in most cases. Some films showed the spinel struc-ture and CuIngSg stoichiometry.The layers showed respectable photovoltaic activity when measured with anaqueous polysulfide liquid junction. Althouqh there were large variationsin activity from sample to sample, quantum efficiencies up to 0.7 were measuredat short-circuit conditions in polysulfide electrolyte.

n-type CuInSe-, is a very efficient photoanode in neutral, aqueous

polyiodide solution, after etching with 2% (v/v) Br-/MeOH (30 sec) andsubsequent air oxidation at 150°C (3 hours). The chemical etchant removes

a nearly stoichiometric surface layer and the air oxidation leads to In-o

bond formation. To stabilize this system, its electrochemical

decomposition in acetonitrile was studied. (Electro) chemical and surface

analyses are consistent with light-assisted decomposition into the metal

ions and elemental chalcogen. Cu-depletion of the top layers was found

to dominate after decomposition.; A similar effect was found after elec-

trode deactivation in polyiodide. On the basis of these results and those

from solid state chemical studies, indicating an appreciable range of

stoichiometry for this chalcopyrite phase towards Cu-poor compositions, we

succeeded in stabilizing the title system by a) adding Cu ions or Cu and

In ions to the solution and b) by covering the electrode surface with an

extra film of oxidized Indium. Electrodes thus treated, were stable at

short circuit and under optimal load in the modified solution, whileretaining the original conversion efficiencies (up to 11.7% under 120

ii'/cm tungsten-halogen illumination). The success of the solution

modification is ascribed, in part, to the high mobility of Cu ions in this

chalcopyrite. The oxidized Indium layer may well act to passivate defect

sites on the surface.

ADIABATIC REDUCTION AND QUANTUM CHAOS

G. GOELMAN, M. SHAPIRODept. of Chemical Physics, Weizmann Institute of Science, Rehovot 76100, Israel

A method for observing quantum 'regular' states is developed by expanding the N-dimensional exact eiqen-function in the adiabatic basis set. The adiabaticfunctions are separable functions uniquely labeled by N quantum numbers. Belowwe present results for the stadium billiard system (N=2). In classical mechanicsthis system is stochastic for all non-zero values of the aspect ratio AR=a/r (abeing the half length of the straioht side, r beinq the radius of the semi-circle) with the degree of stochasticity increasing from zero at AR=2 (thecircle) to a flat maximum near AR=1 (the stadium). In quantum mechanics thebehaviour is quite different: We found that there exists a transition from'reaular' quantum states at low eneray, to 'irregular' states at high energy.Thus, contrary to the classical case where the system is stochastic for all3nergies, the quantur case it is 'reaular' at low enerny. The degree of regu-larity was judged by the degree of separability, according to the adiabaticreduction, observed. In some cases the overlao of the exact and adiabaticfunctions is essentially 100%. When the seoarability is not complete thenodal lines rather then intersect start repelling each other. These studieswere complemented by wavepacket dynamics: A wavenacket consisting mainly ofthe 'regular' states was nearly periodic, unlike a waveoacket consisting mainlyof 'irregular' states which was shown to soread uniformly in the coordinatesoace.

PERMUTATIONAL SYMMETRY AND SPIN OPERATORS FOR ARBITRARY ELEMENTARY

The well-known one to one correspondence between the piqenstates of

the total spin for spin 1/2-pdrticles and irreducible r-presentetiors

of the symmetric group with up to two rows in the Yca.'ic, shep» is the*

basis of interesting formal developments in quantum chemistry and in

the theory of magnetism. As an explicit manifrstation of this

correspondance the class-operators of the symmetric group erf?

demonstrated to be expressible in terms the total spin'operator, and

some of these expressions are presented.

This correspondence does not hold for higher elementary spins. Thp

extension to arbitrary spin is investigated using Schroedinger's

generalization of the Dirac identity, which expresses & transposition

in terms of two-particle spin operators. It is shown that additional

operators, which for a=l/2 reduce to the total spin, ero needed for r

complete classification. Some aspects of the formalism are developed

in detail for o=l. In this case a classification identical with that

provided by the irreducible representations of the symmetric 'jroup is

obtained in terms of the eigenstates of two commuting operators, one

of which is the total spin.

In the study of structure - reactivity correlations in cnemistry wehave discussed quantitative expressions for the dependence of rate constantson equilibrium constants. It is suggested to use these relations in thestudy of gating currents. One conclusion wnich follows from this analysisof the available experimental data is tnat, in contrast to previous state-ments, tne gating charge is universal (-2.0=0.2) and independent of thebiological species.

A STATISTICAL WAVEFUNCTION MODEL FOR C-H/C-D OVERTONE LINEWIDTHS:APPLICATION TO CgHg, CgDg, CHD5,C6HF5

Intramolecular energy transfer rates and mechanisms in vibrationally excitedmolecules are of great importance in reaction rate theories, and relevant tothe possibility of mode selective chemistry. The purpose of this research istheoretical interpretation of one of the few existing direct measurements onintramolecular vibrational energy transfer, namely, detailed measurements ofC-H and C-D overtone spectra in several polyatomic molecules (K.V. Reddy, D.F.Heller and M.J. Berry, J. Chem. Phys. 76_, 2814 (1982)). Broad unstructured lineswere obtained in this experiment, with the linewidth determined by intramole-cular relaxation. We explained the following striking experimental results:

a) The linewidth does not grow monotonically with the quantum number (and thuswith the density of states, as suggested by the Golden Rule); it fluctuatesaround some average value, instead.b) Deuterization slows down the relaxation rate out of the bond.c) The CH overtones in CgHFr display anomalously narrow lines. / 1A simple semi quantitative model is presented for the calculation of C-H overtone *spectra in polyatomic systems. The model employs a realistic force field Ramil-tonian that includes the structure of all modes. Approximate solutions for the

eigenstates are constructed, usinn statistical assumptions, on the wave functionsin terms of their expansion coefficients in the decoupled mode basis. The re-sults show, that the centrifugal coupling to the C-H bending motion plays a do-minant role in the broadening process, and yields a simple physical interpre-tation for the observed isotope effects, fluctuations in linewidth with thequantum number anomalously narrow lines of CgHFg, etc. Calculations are presen-ted for the linewidth of CgHg, CgHDg, CgDg, and good agreement with the experi-mental trends 1s found.

ATOMS AND IONS IN INTENSE EXTERNAL FIELDS

M. COHEN and S. KAISDepartment of Physical Chemistry,The Hebrew University, Jerusalem 91904, Israel

At f i r s t sight, the behaviour of an electronic system which is subjected to a

moderately large external electr ic or magnetic f i e ld is not well described by

means of conventional perturbation theory. This is because the relevant weak-

f ie ld perturbation series are aenerally divergent or, at best, asymptotic.

Nevertheless, with the help of some suitable renonnalisation procedure or

summation technique, the results of high order perturbation theory can some-

times be improved s igni f icant ly , so as to y ie ld precise energy levels and other

physical observables. There has been considerable recent interest in the simp-

lest possible system, namely that of a spinless hydrogen atom in intense mag-

netic f ields with strengths B > 109G (such intense f ields are encountered on

white dwarf stars). We have obtained a good description of this and other one

and two electron systems by using a combination of perturbation theory and

variational techniques, and conclude that judicious use of low order pertur-

bation theory can be competitive with more elaborate calculations.

Enthalpies of solution of sodium octanoate in water and its mixtures withn-propanol, n-butanol and n-pentanol, and of the three alcohols in aqueousoctanoate solutions at pre- and post-micellar concentrations were determinedcaloriraetrically at 35°C. The present thermochemical data reveal that thereis a substantial difference in the role alcohols play in these micellarsystems. The standard enthalpies of solution in the ternary systems containingpropanol indicate that the alcohol is not solubilized within the sodiumoctanoate micelle but is part of the solvent mixture. Parallel data in ternarysystems containing either butanol or pentanol suggest the opposite: thealcohols are solubilized in the interior of the spherical aqueous micellesrather than being part of the solvent mixtures.

THE SYSTEM BOVINE SERUM ALBUMIN-ALIZARIN YELLOW G.THERMODYNAMICS AND KINETICS OF BINDING

B. PERLMUTTER-HAYMAN, E, NISSANIDept. of Physical Chemistry, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Jerusalem,Israel

The ability of proteins to bind various small molecules plays a decisive role

in their biological function. Of Darticular interest is the fact that these

small molecules can induce structural changes in the protein, a shenonenc

which leads to cooperative binding. The system bovine serun albuir.in-alizarir

yellow G was investigated as a model system for this behaviour, "he alburn

was found to oossess six strong, and a number of weak binding sites for tnis

dye, with stronq positive cooperativity between the *irst and subsequent bind-

ing sites, as evidenced by a very pronounced maximun in tne Scatch^rd -Mot.

Using a simplified mathematical model, we were able to obtair, expressions *or

six equilibrium constants in terms of three independent bindinc narameters mea-

sured by equilibrium dialysis. The question whether the coooerati'vitV is one to

the pre-existence of various confomers or to "liaand induced fit" was answered

in the investigation of the kinetics of the binding. In the stooned f:o^ .ona-

ratus, the first steD was found to be diffusion-controlled, an^ was followed by

a slower rearranoement. This shows that a conformational 'change in the albumin

is not a condition for binding to take olace; rather, it is the bindinq o^ the

first ligand that causes the change In the kinetic experiments - both in the

stooped flow and T-jump apparatus — in additional, even slower transformation

was observed at low saturation o-f the albumin. We ascribe this transformation

to a side reaction, since it is not rate-determining for the formation of high-

er comol exes, but disappears at higher saturation. After the binding or the

first ligand is completed, additional binding takes olace at a di^usion-con-

trolled rate or nearly so. These results are in good agreement with the *"act

that both the spectrophotometric pronerties and the values of &u and A?0 cf

the first complex differ significantly from those of all the rest.

KINETIC ENERGY RELEASES BY TIME-RESOLVED MAGNETIC DISPERSION

A new type of multidimensional mass spectrometer has been presented by Enke and

coworkers. We have employed a similar technique, namely time-resolved magnetic

dispersion, to determine kinetic energy releases in unimolecular dissociations

of polyatomic cations. The arrival time at the collector is not only mass-depen-

dent, but also different for ions formed in the source and during f l i g h t . Ioni-

zation by electron impact is pulsed and ions are stored for a variable delay

time in the ion-source by an electron space charge. Time-dependent kinetic

energy releases were obtained from metastable peak shapes for the reaction,

UNIMOLECULAR DISSOCIATIONS OF POLYATOMIC PHOTOIONSAT NEAR THRESHOLD ENERGIES

Y. MLINOYICH, G. HASE, A. ARAKAWA and C. LIFSHITZ

Department of Physical Chemistry, The Hebrew University of JerusalemJerusalem 91904, Israel

We have developed the technique of°Time-resolved Photoionization Mass Spectro-

metry (TPIMS). Pulsed ionization in the VUV produces photoions which are

trapped for variable times in a Cylindrical Ion Trap (CIT) before being ejected

for mass analysis. The method combines excellent energy resolution with time

resolution and allows determination of time resolved appearance energies of

fragment ions under constant sensi t iv i ty conditions. Experiments have beer,

carried out on iodobenzene, pyridine, ani l ine, ethyl benzene, cy,clo-octatetraene

(COT) etc. Energy-entropy trade-offs are being assessed for unimolecular disso-

ciations of polyatomic cations. The s tat is t ica l nature of the reactions at near

threshold energies is beino assessed through deuterium labell ing experiments.

Specific rate coefficients k(E) * 1 sec"^ may be observed through computer

control and accumulation of the data. Evidence for transit ion state switchincs,

between t ight and orbiting transit ion states, is being sought experimentally.

WJ8THE EFFECT OF N0 2 GROUP ON THE IGNITION DELAY TIMESOF STRAIGHT AND CYCLIC HYDROCARBONS

ASSA LIFSHITZ, SHULAMIT BARZILAI-GILBOA "Dept. of Physical Chemistry, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Jerusalem,Israel

Ignition delay tines of cyclopropane and of three hydrocarbons containing oneNO2 group: nitromethane, nitroethane and nitrocyclopropane were measured overa wide temperature range and were presented in comparison with ignition delayof the same hydrocarbons without the nitro group. These experiments were per-formed in order to examine the effect of the NO2 group on the oxidation rateof cyclic and strainht hydrocarbons. The experimental results reveal threesignificant features. 1. The nitro-aiiphatic compounds are nuch more reactivethan the corresoonding hydrocarbons, judcini from the duration of the ignitiondelay at a given temperature. 2. Contrary to aliphatic hydrocarbons, the in-crease in the nitroaliphatic concentration, causes a decrease in tne ignitiondelay times. 3. The spread of the log T VS. 1/T curves amono the -NO2 con-taining substances, is considerably smaller than the one corresponding to theignition of the simple hydrocarbons. There is a good correlation Detween theinitiation rates and the i<jnition delays of the six fuels in question. It issuggested that the opening of a new avenue for initiation, namely, rupture ofthe weak C-NOg bond increases the oxidation rate.

THE REACTION OF CATALASE WITH ETHYLHYDROGEN PEROXIDE

The change --if the optical absorption upon the addition of ethylhydrogen

peroxide (ROOH) to a solution of catalase (E) passes through a maximum

over a range of initial [ROOH], at a constant initial [E] (Brill and

Williams, Biochem. J.(1961) 7<8,253). This behaviour indicates the presence

of a precursor /E»ROOHJ to compound I (C.) formed in the system, and a

2+The cata lyt ic properties of Cu(II)-phenanthroline complex, (op)9Cu , upon the

disproportionation of superoxide radicals, generated by pulse radio lys is , have

been investigated. I t has been found that (op)?Cu catalyzes superoxide dis-

mutation through a "ping pong" mechanism which opperates between Cu(II) and

Cu(I) s imi lar to that of superoxide dismutase. The "turnover" rate constant,kcat = ( 5 « 1 ± 0 « 9 ) 1 0 8 M'^s"1, has been determined. The kinet ic results of the

oxidation of (op)pCu+ by molecular oxygen in aqueous solution are interpreted

by a mechanisn which proceeds via a superoxide intermediate..The redox poten-

t i a l of the complex (op^Cu^* has been determined to be E° = -0.055V. The i n -

terest in this mechanism arises from the sensit izing effect of (op)?Cu2+ on

DNA damage under i r rad ia t ion in vivo and in v i t r o . We have also studied the

The solubilities of methane, ethane, propane and n-butane were measured in

aqueous solutions of sodium dodecyi sulfate (SOS) of molar concentrations

between 0-0.15M (The cmc of SDS being at about 0.008M). The measurement^

were repeated at six temperatures between 12-27 C. From these measurements

we have computed the standard free energies, entropies and enthalpiesi fior

the process of transferring the gas molecule from the gaseous phase into

the aqueous surfactant solutions. All gases show an abrupt change in their

solubility at the cmc. The slop of the solubility curves is larger the

larger the size of the solute molecule. We have also noticed a significant

AFFINITY LABELING OF ELECTRON TRANSFER SITES ON BLUE COPPER PROTEINS.

P. Frank, A. Licht, 0. Farver and I. Pecht.Dept. of Chemical Immunology, The Weizmann Institute of Science, Rehovot 76100,Israel.

The chemical properties of the Cr(II)/(III) couple have been successfully

employed to affinity label electron transfer loci on redox proteins. Being

strong reductants and exchanging fast their ligand sphere, Cr(IT) ions can

coordinate one or more of the surface residues on a redox protein while reduc-

ing it. As the produced Cr(III) is substitution inert, any protein residues in

the coordination sphere of the Cr(II) during the electron transfer will remain

bound to the Cr(III) product. Identification of the Cr(III) binding site has

then been achieved primarily through proteolytic cleavage of the labeled

proteins. Spectroscopic methods have also been employed for corroborating

these assignments. Several single blue copper proteins have been examined by

the above approach. These include azurins, (pseudomonas and alcaligenes),

plastocyanins, (French bean and poplar) and stellacyanin (Rhus vernicifera).

More recently we found that even the multicentered blue copper oxidase-laccase

can be reductively labeled by this procedure.

The cuprous ions in the Cr(III) labeled plastocyanin, azurin and stellacyanin

could be fully reoxidized by inorganic or enzymatic agents. While the single

Cr(III) ion originally coordinated to azurin and stellacyanin remains bound

through several Cr(II) reduction and reoxidation cycles, one can label plasto-

cyanin with several Cr(III) ions in repeating redox cycles. The analysis of

the Cr(III) labeled sites on plastocyanin and £s_. azurin showed that electrons

proceed via the His 35 region in azurin (Az) and near the negative patch on

plastocyanin (Pc). To examine whether the latter electron transfer sites are

also involved in the biochemical function of these proteins, their reactivities,

in the native and Cr(III) labeled forms were compared. It became apparent that

the Cr(III) label attenuated the reactivity of both azurin and plastocyanin

with only one of their respective two partners. This led to the conclusions

that on both proteins: (a) There are probably two distinct and physiologically

operative electron transfer sites, (b) One of these sites is centered around the

respective Cr(III) labeled region, (c) By elimination, the second is at theexposed, homologous imidazol of His-87 or 117 in Pc and Az respectively.

Bilirubin (BR) is the degradation product of heme in liver, which under chemi-

cal modification is excreted in urine. Deficiencies in this catabolic process

in newborns cause excess of BR in blood (neonatal jaundice). Irradiation of

the patient witti Blue light lowers the BR level, due to a change in the solu-

bility properties of BR as a result of a Z-E photoisomeri^ation. This photo-

reaction break? some of the six li-bonds present in the original BR molec ule

(Z,Z configuration) leading to more soluble photoisomers which are efficiently

excreted by the liver.' Resonance Raman spectroscopy was proven to be useful

for studying bile-pigments in solution.2 The dependence of the resonance

Raman spectrum of BR on the pH of the medium has been studied in order to get

insight into tne vibrational modifications induced by the presence of intra-

molecular H-bonds in this molecule. Resonance Raman spectra in neutral chloro-

form and in basic aqueous solutions were recorded exciting with the 5145A

line of an Ar laser. In basic aq. solutions, H-bonds are broken leading to

tiie carboxylate anion. Outstanding differences are observed between the two

spectra regarding relative intensities and frequency shifts. Some bar.ds

appearing in one of the spectra are absent in the other showing that different

species are present in media with different acidities. These effects are

reversible. The data obtained by resonance Raman spectroscopy is comple-

mented by measurements done jsing uv-absorption and fluorescence techniques.

The indications of these results on the analysis of resonance Raman spectra

of natural biliproteins will be discussed.

NOVEL TOPOCHEMICAL NON-PSPTIDIC ANALOGS OF SUBSTANCE P

Topochemical equivalence between a chemical structure and a known drug agonist

may lead to the reproduction of its effective interaction with the appropriate

receptor. A well known case supporting this concept is the morphinomimetic

activity of the endogenous opioid peptides, the enkephalins, which interact with

the same receptors as the natural and synthetic opiate alkaloids. The applica-

tion of this concept to substance P (SP), a putative peptide neurotransmitter

in the central and peripheral nervous system is the subject of this paper.

Conformational analysis of substance P and derivatives (I) based either on

empirical force field calculations or on spectrometric and spectrophotometric

methods resulted in the suggestion a several closely related low energy confor-

mations. Examination of these conformations lead to certain topochemical models

which we have attempted to reproduce using hydroxyprclinc (Hyp). The hydroxy-

proline unit, a small rigid ring carrying three different functional groups, is

used as a framework on which the essential pharmacophores of substance P can be

attached in a particular spatial arrangement leading to a molecule with a certain

topochemistry (II). The availability of three different isomers of Hyp, i.e.

trans-L, cis-L and cis-D together with chemical manipulation of these structures

provides us with frameworks which offer a great variety of substitution patterns.

In this work we report the design, synthesis and biological activities of the

first generation of novel non-peptide analogs of substance P.

epoxytrichothecenes, giving rise to a great variety of toxic symptoms. It

has been alleged that trichothecene toxins have been used in chemical

were examined. Tests with different concentrations of T-2 toxin showed that

essentially complete hemolysis of rat erythrocytes commenced after a lag

period the length of which depended on the concent tat ion of toxin. Comparison

of the characteristics of hemo lysis caused by T-2 toxin, saponins, H.,0 and

the latter two which proceed by a free radical mechanism. The same mechanism

is suggested for hemolysis caused by T-2 toxin on the basis of the additional

INTERACTIONS BETWEEN ACIDIC PROTEINS AND CRYSTALS: A STRUCTURAL APPROACH

TO ELUCIDATE PRINCIPLES OF BIOLOGICAL MINERALIZATION.

Departments of Structural Chemistry and Isotope ResearchThe Weizmann Inst i tute of Science, Rehovot 76100, ISRAEL

Skeletal hard parts are generally formed by the growth of crystals within a

structural organic framework (the "organic matrix") which is composed

primarily of proteins and polysaccharides. The macromolecules in direct

contact with the mineral phase, are primarily proteins rich in acidic amino

acids. These are thought to interact with calcium ions at the crystal

surface, by means of complexation with the amino acid side-chain carboxylate

groups. We have investigated, ha VAAHO, the mechanism of interaction ;

between acidic proteins extracted and part ia l ly purified from mollusk shells,

and growing crystals of various model compounds of calcium salts of

dicarboxylic acids. The results obtained indicate that the Ca-bound proteins,

adopting the s-sheet conformation, interact with specific surfaces of the

growing crystal . These are characterized by having the carboxylate groups

emerging at the face oriented such that they can complete the coordination

polyhedron $ f protein-bound calcium ions. Similar stereoselective interactions

can be recognized on the faces of biologically formed crystals of calcite

and aragonite. The acidic polysaccharide-rich fractions of the mollusk

matrix did not influence crystal growth in any observable way.

SWTHETIC ION CARRIERS PATTERNED AFTER NATURAL COMPOUNDS

ABRAHAM SHANZER AND JACQUELINE LIB MAN, Department o f Organ ic Chemistry,The Weizaann Institute of Science, Rehovot, Israel.

In an attempt to provide artificial ion carriers for transition metalions we synthesized two series of conpounds which are based on thestructural principles of two naturally occuring iron carriers: entero-bactin and nocardamin. These two types differ in their structures andtransport modes.

Enterobactin No card w i n

While enterobactin is a tripode like molecule where the side chains (ca-techol residues) serve as binding sites , nocardamin has i ts bindingsites (hydroxamates) incorporated into its ring skeleton. Moreover, en-terobactin serves as 'one way shuttle' (it decomposes into its constitu-ents after penetration into the ce l l ) , nocardemin as reversible carrier.

Structural analogs of both types of compounds have been prepared. Usingan array of different functional groups as binding s i tes , llgands suit-able for transition metal ions other than iron have been obtained. Theconformations and binding characteristics of these molecules will be de-scribed and compared with those of the natural compounds.

THE EFFECT OF NEGATIVE CriARGH DELOCALIZATION

OH THE EFFICIENCY OF TUL tlcB REACTIOH

S. HOZ, Z. GROSSDept. of Cnemistry, Bar-Ilan University, Ramat Gan b210U, Israel

In carbanionic elimination reactions, tne carbanion can be stabilized by acti-

vating groups which differ in their ability to delocalize the neighboring neg-

ative cnarge. The effect of the degree of delocalization on the expulsion of

the leaving group was examined.

In order to enable a fair comparison, two activating groups which Droduce car-

banions of tnt sauc staoility were cnosen. Tvvc cyano groups representing the

localizing grouos (&•,& nidloncnitrile 11) and a single nitro group (pKa CH3N03

10.I) as a model for the delocalizing groups were employed to give the

systems shown below.

It was foam that tne carbanion derived from ]_ was greatly superior to the one

derived fro... £ in expelling tiie leaving groups (X = OHe, CN}.

Since tiie localizing nature of t\\c CU group is not directly inferred, an at-

initio calculation at a 4-JIG level was performed. It was found that the

cyano group largely localizes the charge ootn at the TT level and overall on

tae carbon whereas in the nitro group the charge at both levels is largely

shifted to tne oxygen atoms.

The threshold mechanism for }is A [;-']-one rinn flip which exchanges the two pairs of diastereotopic groupson the i';'-rina with a AG* of 10.4 kcal mol" , but not the diastereotopic groupson the e-ring. This process is accompanied by a second process with AG* of

"14.2 kcal mol which interchanoes these groups on the --rinn and is likely tobe a [ii,.- ']-twe-ring flip. The identity of the barriers for the 6- and thei'-mesityl grouos of 2_ which reside in diastereotopic environments suggest thata [c,.-']-two ring flip is the threshold mechanism for ,2. This is corroboratedby the similar behavior of the a-methyl analogue of 2 . The shift in the rota-tional mechanism from a one-rinn flip in 1 to a two-ring flip in 2_ is rational-ized by steric effects: The bulky tert-butyl group hinders the Dassage of the6-ring through the molecular plane. These are the first examples of one- andtwo-ring flips and of a substituent-dependent shift in the threshold rotationalmechanism in the series of 1,1-diarylvinyl propellers.

NOVEL 4nir POLYCYCLIC SYSTEMS: HKTEROCYCLIC DI AN IONS

Yoram COHEN, Abraham MINSKY and Mordecai RABINOVTTZ , r>'

Department of Organic Chemistry, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Jerusalem,

91904, Israel

Polycyclic hydrocarbons which belong to the (4n*2)ir series can be reduced

to the respective dianions. These dianions are 4mr systems and therefore

antiaromatic. Their paratropic nature depends on the HOMO-LUMO energy sat).

The energy gap is inversely proportional to the paratropicity of the system

which is also influenced by the ion salvation equilibrium. Surprisingly,

there has not been any reports on polycyclic anions which contain hetero atoms.

The reduction process of benzo[c]cinnoline (,11 and related polycycles with

sodium and lithium metals affords the respective dianions. These dianions

show the expected paratronicity and an unexpected temperature dependent

H NMR spectrum. The low field shift of the lithium compound relative to

the sodium analog is rationalized in terms of covulent vis a vis ionic

contributions. A variable temperature LH and °C NMR studies lend strength

to this conclusion and rules out ion -olvation equilibrium as an explanation

for these observations.

THE REACTION OF METHYL SUBSTITUTED ANTHRACENES WITH ALKALI METALS

Ron FRIM, Abraham MINSKY and Mordecai RABINOVITZ, Department of

Organic Chemistry, The Hebrew University, Jerusalem 91904, Israel

Anthracene derivatives e.g. 9-methyl- and 9,10-methyl-anthracene undergo a

metal reduction process to form the corresponding 16* conjugated dianions

accompanied by the formation of the respective benzyl anions. The 4mr

dianions exhibit paratropicity while the benzyl anionic species do not. The

reduction process depends on the reducing metal. Sodium metal reduction of

the anthracene skeleton affords deprotonation of the methyl groups as well

as a two electron reduction process of the polycyclic moiety. The two

species are formed concomitantly. No tetra-anions were observed. The

reaction with potassium metal yields only the deprotonation product. We11have shown previously that the appearance of the H NMR spectrum of

conjugated systems depends on the H0M0-LUM0 energy =gap of the dianion which in

turn allows a singlet-triplet equilibrium in these systems. In 9,10-dimethyl-

anthracene the effect of the triplet state anions present is deci*eased.

PARATROPICITY AND ANTIAROMATICITY: ROLE OF THE HOMO-LUMO ENERGY GAP

Abr*ha» MINSKY and Mordecai RABINOVITZ, Department of Organic Chemistry,

The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Jerusalem 91904, Israel

Doubly charged systems derived from fused benzenoid polycycles reveal an

unquenched delocalization of 4m electrons and hence are predicted to possess

antiaroaatic character. The magnitude of the paratropic H NMR chemical

shifts due solely to the paramagnetic secondary field sustained ir. these

species, was found to depend linearly upon the magnitude of thel'JMO-HOMG

energy gaps of the corresponding .systems. The very existence' of such a

correlation enables a comprehensive treatment of the various factors which

determine the antiaromatic character and the subtle interrelations between

those factors. This, in turn, enables a deeper understanding of antiaroma-

ticity. Dibenzotetracene dianion^ shows HNMR patterns which indicate

the existence of a partitioning of its MO's into two parts: "anthracene-like"

iiid "phenanthrene-like" systems which exhibit independent characteristic

features similar to those observed in the anthracene and phenanthrene dianions.

This phenomenon is expressed much more profoundly than just a mode of charge

distribution. It can be rationalized in terms of a'minimised antiarometic

character, a state which leads to a smaller energy content.

Sulfur containing graft polymers may be of interest as polymeric transfer

agents. Graft polymerisation of propylene sulfide on crosslinked polystyrene

beads was investigated. Crosslinked polystyrene and its chioromethyiated

derivative were grafted. Crosslinked polystyrene was lithiated by.i SuLi-TMEbA

and used to initiate anionic graft polymerization of propylenr sulficie.

Grafting on chioromethyiated polystyrene was achieved by reaction of its

chloromethylene groups with sulfide groups of preformed polypropylene sulfide

and by reaction with terminal sodium thiolate groups of living polypropylene

suJfidc. Graft polymers of high sulfide content (10 mmole S/g) were obtained.

Morphology changes and polypropylene sulfide distribution in the grafted

polystyrene beads were investigated. These graft polymers were converted to

their borane complex and used successfully for reduction of aldehydes, ketones,

carboxylic acids and esters. Asymmetric reduction of ketones, in low optical

yields, was achieved by the use of optically active graft polymer borane

complex.

UMNIUM RECOVERY FROM PHOSPHORIC ACID WITH SELECTIVE RESINS

S. BELFER, E. KORNGOLD, Y. EGOZY

The Institutes for Applied Research, Ben-Gurion University of the ttegev,Beer-Sheva, Israel

A solvent process for the recovery of uranium from phosphoric a d d was CMnercia-

11zed and I ts application has been expanded signif icantly. Our objective was

to evaluate the feas ib i l i ty of recovering uranium from phosphoric add with

selective resins. Uranium-selective resins were prepared in a single operation

by adding a synergistic mixture of diethylhexytphosphoric acid (DEHPA) and

trioctylphosphine oxide (TOPO) as a selective extractant to vinyl and polyvinyl

monomers and polymerizing the mixture. Several hydrophobic and hydrophilic

monomers were used, and the relationship between the composition of the poly-

merizing mixture, the morphology of the polymers formed, and the performance

of the resins in columns were studied with the aim of finding the best

conditions for resin preparation. I t was found that the,extractant acts as an

inert diluent that modifies the three-dimensional polymerization process by a

phase separation mechanism and leads to the formation of a porous structure,

which 1s very important for good kinetics. A high amount of extractant mixture

(60%) and a high concentration of crosslinking agent are necessary for prepa-*

ring a resin with good mechanical s tab i l i ty and kinetics. The resin was tested

in a column 190 cm long with a raw brown phosphoric acid obtained from Negev

Phosphate Co. The average uranium concentration in the eluent (4.4-4.8 g/1)

was almost 30-fold higher than in the raw acid (0.15 g U / l ) . The decline 1n

capacity* which was attributed to the loss of extractants, was less than 5%

for a contact of 1000 l i te rs of acid per kg of resin. The economics of the

recovery of uranium from phosphoric acid with selective resins relat ive to that

with solvent extraction is due to the lower cost of the pretreatment step,

because of advances in the technology for continuous ion exchange for treating

effluents containing suspended matter, and to the lower txpense of the txtrac- .

tants.

The influence of hydrogen sulphide diffusion on Stored Aviation Turbine Fuels

(AVTURS) and its corrosive effect h*s been studied. H2S diffusion froa tank

aqueous bottom into the stored AVTUR phase is a rapid process. Neat AVTURS,

without antioxidants, in comparison with conventional inhibited AVTURS tested

in an experimental diffusion coluan, had a diminishing effect on the stored

fuel's corrosivity. H.S evolution from an aqueous solution, simulating possible

Sulphate Reducing Bacteria action in AVTUR storage tank bottoms, was suppressed

by proper pH adjustment. It has been established that elemental sulphur corro-

sion depends on the actual sulphur configuration. Elemental sulphur in an eight

atom ring structure, at a certain concentration has even an inhibiting effect.

It may be assumed that only atomic sulphur causes synergistic corrosion effects

with H2S in fuels.

A process tor the production of potassium suifate from potassium chloride

and phosphogypsum in concentrated aqueous ammonia solutions has been studied.

The reaction rate was found to be dependent on the weight rat io of aqueous

anmonia solution to phosphogypsum and on the size and structure of the

phosphogypsum aggregates. The morphology of the different phosphogypsum

samples was examined by the scanning electron microscope, in an attempt to

relate the morphology to the reactivity of the phosphogypsum samples. The

differences in the crystal habit are due to major differences in the reactor

design of the phosphoric acid plants, and are also a function of the mixing

regime and of the additives' nature and quantity. 95% conversion to K2S04

was obtained after two hours with elongated trapezoidal plate- l ike phos-

phogypsum aggregates (10-20y x 50-70p , 5V thin) composed of very thin

needles. Only 75% conversion was obtained at the same conditions with

dense rose-like or ba l l - l ike aggregates composed of p late- l ike crystals

(100-150p ) ; by a t t r i t ion of these aggregates to particles of l-10u , a

faster reaction was obtained (92% conversion af ter two hours). More data

and detailed pictures wi l l be presented. I t seems that the rate determining

step in the reaction of phosphogypsum with potassium chloride is the dis-

solution of phosphogypsum, which is obviously slowed when the aggregates

are dense and ba l l - l ike in comparison with thin-plate aggregates with a

PRODUCTION OF ZINC OXIDE FROM WASTES

N. BONAN AND L. KOGAN

IMI (TAMI) Institute for Research & Development L td . , Haifa, Israel .

A hydrometailurgical process for direct production of zinc oxide from metal

oxides wastes has been studied. Pure zinc oxide is the most important zinc

compound, principally used as an activator in vulcanizing rubber. At present,

electrolytic zinc is industrially produced from wastes by the sulfate pro-

cess, based on leaching with suIfuric acid, during which most of the other

metal oxides present are also dissolved. A quite complicated purification

process of the leach liquor is needed before electrolysis/ and the product is

metallic zinc. The studied process is based on the zinc's amphoteric nature.

The leaching is performed by concentrated sodium hydroxide solutions (400-

600 g/1) a t 80°C. The alkaline leach is highly specific for zinc over such

other metals as iron or copper, only lead being dissolved at a low extent.

Thus the leach liquor obtained from a zinc flue dust sample containing 47%

Zn and 18% Pb, contains 7.2% Zn and 0.3% Pb. fA simple purification of the

leach liquor can be accomplished by cementation with zinc dust, based on the

higher electronegativity of zinc over many other metals such as Pb and Cd.

Pure zinc hydroxide is precipitated by 2-3 fold dilution of the leach liquor,

followed by f i l t r a t i o n and thermal decomposition to zinc oxide. Due to the

high specificity for zinc, low grade, cheap wastes, containing high amounts

of iron, copper, lead or chlorine, can be used. Sodium hydroxide is in

closed cycle, since i t can be reconcentrated and reused in the leaching

stage; about 25 t H9O/t ZnO have to be evaporated. I t is concluded that the\\

studied process is advantageous for production of pure zinc oxide from low

grade wastes.

STUDIES OF PHOSPHATE ROCK DISSOLUTION

WITH HYDROCHLORIC ACID

S. GARNETT AND S. UKELES

IHI (TAMI) Inst i tute for Research and Development Ltd. , Haifa, Israel

The rock dissolution step of the IMI Phosphoric Acid Process, developed in

the 1950's for the production of a high grade phosphoric acid has been re-

examined as part of a broader reconsideration of the process. The dissolution

step can be represented as the decomposition of f1uoroapatite :

Ca lo(PO4)gF2 + 20HC1 - 10CaCl2 + 6H3P04 + 2HF

The objective of the new study was to define the maximum calcium chloride and

phosphorous pentoxide concentrations which can exist in a stable solution at

40°C. A series of batch experiments were carried out at various acid/rock

rat ios, HC1 concentrations, temperatures and reaction times using Israeli

phosphate rocks. I t was found that for a P20g - rich rock (33% P 20 5 ) , stable

Ca+2 and P20g levels of 130-134 g/1 are achievable. The higher the "free"

hydrochloric acid concentration in the dissolution liquor, the more concen-

trated is the stable dissolution liquor that is obtained. The phase diagram

(Gmelins) for the system Ca+2-H+-P04"3-CT-H20 was used to calculate the

maximum theoretical P205 concentration achievable as well as the highest con-

centration of feed HC1 that, can be used. The calculated values are very

consistent with the experimentally determined ones. When the maximum Ca and

PpO5 levels are exceeded, then a white solid whose composition approximates

that of the double salt Ca(H2P04)2-CaCl2-2H20 is formed, as expected from the

phase diagram. Batch kinetics of the dissolution reaction at 50°C and 30°C

were studied by analysis of dissolution liquors and residues. While the dis-

solution behaviour of the major components (calcium and phosphate) as a func-

tion of time was readily interpreted, i t was not possible to draw specific-2

conclusions regarding species such as F , SO- and SiO-. The relevant data

is presented. These studies have been continued and the results are being

applied to the further development of the processl Some of the implications

of the work wi l l be discussed.

THE REACTION OF CONCENTRATED SULFURIC ACIDWITH CONCENTRATED MAGNESIUM CHLORIDE BRINE

S. GARNETTINI (TANI) Institute for Research and Development, Haifa, Israel.

+ 2+ 2The vapor-liquid equilibrium in the system H , Mg /SO^ , Cl was studied.The distillation of the HC1 drives the equilibrium to the right:

H ^ + MgCl2(aq) .» 2 HCH + HgS04»+H20+

The reaction can be regarded either as the principal step in the productionof epsom salts (MgSO 'HgO), as the f i rst stage in a multistage process toproduce potassium sulfate, or as a means of producing concentrated hydro-chloric acid. In each case detailed information on the vapor-liquid equi-librium is required. From the study i t was found that the soluble magnesiumchloride increases the volatility of the hydrochloric acid and decreases thevolatility of the water. Thus, concentrated HC1, at or above the azeotropiccomposition (ca. 20% HC1), can be attained at nominal H+ and Cl" concentra-tions of 10% or less. In this system i t is clearly seen that the sulfate ionis a base. The HC1 volatility is proportioned to the product of nominalhyd»-ogen ion concentration (assuming that the HSO.~ ion is the only sulfurcontaining species) and chloride ion concentration. However, when the HC1liquid phase concentration doubles the HC1 vapor pressure increases ten-fold.Liquid-liquid extraction tests at room temperature suggest that the H+ acti-vity is much more strongly influenced by the presence of magnesium chloridethan is the chloride activity. A possible application of the information toprocesses to produce potassium sulfate will be discussed. This applicationrepresents an elegant use of the thermodynamic information present in phasediagrams to generate an industrially interesting process.

CHARACTERIZATION OF COAGULANT--HYDROSOL SYSTEMS WITHSTABILITY LIMIT DIAGRAMS

ALAN J. RUBINWater Resources Center, The Ohio State Unirersity,

1791 Nell Ave., Columbus, Ohio 43210, USA

The speciatlon of hydrolyzable metals such as aluminum(III) and the surface

properties of many hydrosols are pH dependent. It is not surprizing then, that

the stability of a sol in the presence of a given electrolyte may be strongly

controlled by the solution pH. Coagulation behavior and restabilization

phenomena in these systems can be followed by plotting sol turbid ley as a

function of metal concentration at constant pH or as a function of pH at a

fixed coagulant concentration. Such plots exhibit distinct regions of

stability and aggregation with sharp boundaries that are usually time inde-

pendent. Thus their extrapolation to the original turbidity of the suspension

yields crititcal values that are characteristic of the system. These

graphically determined critical values may be plotted log metal concentration

against pH to establish the stability limit diagram, or stability domain, for

the metal—hydrosol system. These diagrams are very useful for summarizing

large amounts of data and its various zones may be related to the mechanisms of

aggregation or stabilization. The construction of stability limit diagrams for

aluminum(III) salts are described in this paper. The sols that were examined

include a bacterium, titania, two clays, colloidal coal, mineral oil, sewage,

and starch. The approach was to obtain critical pH and concentration values

frcm changes in turbidity during settling of the sols. Each of the diagrams

will be interpreted and their common and unique features will be discussed.

A method, based on precipitate boundary analysis, will be described for relating

the slopes and intercepts of the boundaries to the hydrolytic chemistry of the

metal coagulant.

PREPARATION OF CORRELATION TO DESCRIBE A LIQUID-LIQUID EXTRACTION PROCESS

B. GRINBAUM *

* IMI - Institute for Research & Development, Haifa, Israel

To prepare a correlation which describes a chemical or physical process,

one requests :

1. A wide and reliable database.

2. Elementary understanding of the process.

3. A computer program for regression.

The database must fulfill 4 requirements : a. a homogenous distribution of theexperimental data over the sampling space, b. a sufficient number of data(significantly more than the number of estimated parameters), c. an estimate

of the experimental error in data, d. the sampling space must be larger than

the process range. The following problems were observed : 1. extremal change

in shape of the function over a narrow range of concentration, which caused the

correlation to deviate in this area. It was solved by increasing the density

of experimental data in that area. 2. Function fitting for curve of

complicated shape, was solved by splitting the curve to 2 areas, with different

fit for each. Having no idea about the exact extraction mechanism polynomials

were used, and gave good description of the system. 3. Coupling of variables

and estimation of the influence of various parameters in multivariable space.

This problem may be solved by making sets of experiments changing only one

parameter every time, and manual analysis of the behaviour using the existing

knowledge of the process.

The lecture demonstrates the mentioned above problems and their solution in

SELECTION OF CORROSION RESISTANT MATERIALS FOR WASTEMATER COMCENTRffiPORS

M. SCHORR*, E. WEINTRAUB*, E. MILLER*** M I (TAttI) - Institute for Research and Development, Ltd., Haifa, Israel** IDE - Israel Desalination Engineering, Ltd., Herzlia, Israel

Israel Desalination Engineering, Ltd. has recently introduced an energy-efficient industrial concentrator for wastewtter treatment and disposal. This

concentrator produces two types of strews: A low volume concentrate stream that

can be reused or can be disposed cheaply and distilled water. Since wastewater

differs widely, corrosion-resistant materials of construction for each type of

wastewater should be selected. Corrosion in wastewater depends on the nature of

.Its contents, the dissolved oxygen level, the pH and the degree of agitation.

Apart from corrosion, deposition and crystalization of scales occurs in equip-

ment handling hot effluents, specially on metallic heat-transfer surfaces. The

aim of this work was to evaluate novel methods and techniques'of selecting prop-

er materials of construction for IDE concentrators. Three types of wastewater

from the inorganic chemical industry, having different levels of pH and salt

concentration were examined. The metals and alloys selected for testing:

Titanium, austenitic stainless steels and aluminum-magnesium alloys, are those

currently used in the chemical industry. The electrochemical and corrosion

behaviour of the metallic materials tested was determined by two methods:

gravimetric and electrochemical. Potentiodynamic and potentiostatic, anodic

and cathodic polarization plots Were obtained using an electronic potentiostat

and a three-electrode cell. The susceptibility to localized corrosion, e.q.

pitting and crevice was determined applying a cyclic potentiodynamic polarization

technique. It was found that titanium exhibits corrosion resistance to all types

of wastewater examined, the austenitic stainless steels are resistant to the

alkaline and acidic types, but suffer from pitting corrosion in concentrated

saline brine. The Al-Mg alloy corrodes in the acidic solution and shows pitting

in the alkaline wastewater. Results from the gravimetric and electrochemical

measurements are presented, the corrosion behaviour of the alloys is illustrated :

and the implications for industrial equipment are discussed. - •-?

The f i1terabi1ity of phosphoric acid in the WPA process depends on the

size distribution of the gypsum. The size distribution is dependant on

the nucleation and growth rates. Variations in the size distribution

lead to variation in the f i l t e r a b i l i t y which is a decisive parameter in

the WPA industry. A basic study on a bench scale continuous unit was

SOLUTE RELEASE IN MULTIPLE EMULSIONS

S. MAGDASSI, N. GARTIThe Casali Institute of Applied Chemistry, School of AppliedScience and Technology, The Hebrew University, Jerusalem 91904,Israel t ^

Multiple emulsions of the w/o/w type are oil in water emulsions

in which the dispersed oil drops contain smaller dispersed water

droplets. There are many potential practical applications of

multiple emulsions but no commercial product is known, mainly

because of the instability of those emulsions. The most common

release pattern of solutes from the inner aqueous phase is through

the breakdown of the multiple droplets. We have achieved a

physically stable multiple emulsion, but the release of solute was

not prevented, probably due to diffusion of the solutes. It was

found that the release rate is dependent on the electrolyte type,

and that even when 100% of the solute was released, the emulsion

was still of a multiple nature. The dependence on the electro-

lyte type was also observed when two electrolytes existed in the

inner aqueous phase. Further support to the diffusion mechanism

is the release of electrolytes at different initial

concentrations, which was the opposite to the expected release if

it was caused only by the breakdown of the multiple droplets. As

a result of this study, it was concluded that physical stability

of multiple emulsions is not sufficient for obtaining stable

formulations of multiple emulsions.

onocolate blooming is caused by separation of cocoa butter, the

main constituent, from the brown non-fat phase. This phenomenon,

occurring more frequently in summer, is deleterious for chocolate

quality. Owing to the strong polymorphism of cocoa butter,

blooming seems to be due to the transformation of V forrr, to VI

form during storage. The study was divided into two parts:

standing the causes of blooming. In the first part, the trans-

formation conditions from V form to VIvswere clarified. In order

to accelerate the transformation, which takes two months at room

temperature, a method of temperature cycling between 2C/CC and

30 C was used. It was found that this particular transformation

could not occur through liquid phase, like lower transformations,

rut only through solid phase, more exactly, through'soft phase.

It was found that after crystallization solid emulsifiers,

increasing the amount of the liquid fraction, retard the trans-

ioriuation of V form to VI form, and accelerate the transformation

of IV form to V forrr.. It was also found that combination of

Gpa:i''oO and Tween 60 is especially efficient in the V form

retention. The three main steps of chocolate manufacture,

namely tempering, cooling and^jstorage, if prdperly performed,

ensure gloss and prevent blooming. In chocolate, emulsifiers

were found to act both as surfactants and crystal modifiers.

Many publications describe or suggest a correlation between thin films stress

and their mechanical properties including laser damage resitance.Modulated

transmission ellipsometrg (MTE} can provide information on stress in dielectric

thin film-substrate systems with spatial resolution of the order of 10-20 u.m.

In the present work the sensitivity of the MTE system was demonstrated through

the measurements of the residual stress in BK7 glass and fused silica before and

after sequences of annealing procedures to several different temperatures.The

stress in MgF /BK7 glass and MgF /fused silica systems was also investigated.In

each case the stress profile of the substrate prior and after deposition was

measured.In all of the measurements a significant lowering of the stress in the

coated area was found as compared to the substrate prior depositionjthis indic-

ating that the stress in the MgF film partially cancels the substrate stress.

The values of the stress could be calculated from the measured optical phase

retardation f given hyt4* t**n were t is the component thickness and *n is the

change in the refractive index or birefringence resulting from internal stress.

The optical phase retardation is directly proportional to the stress-CT-within

the sample.The stress values found for MgF on fused silica and MgF, on BK7 glass2 2 '

were 3900 kg/on and 2300 kg/cm respectively.The stress of the MgF thin film

on the two different substrates was measured as a function of time.A cowering of

the stress by 10-30% was found.Two factors may contribute to this effectil.a

relaxtion prpness in the MgF film/substrate system and 2. the adsorption of0

atmospheric water by the MgF film.On baking the MgF film/substrate to 400 c

an increase in the stress by 30-50% was observed.This may be connected to desorp-

tion of the water and sintering of the MgS^ surface.We also found indications

that the stress increased as the evaporation rate was increased.The total stress

The interaction between aqueous bromine solutions and acrylic fibers was

investigated. From the data, kinetic and thermodynamic parameters of sorp-

tion were calculated. The diffusion coefficient was found to be 3.3 x 102 -1

cr. -sec . Bromine sorption is accompanied by swelling and loss in strength

of the fiber and thc-je effects increase with increasing bromine concentration.

The Tg of the polymer is lowered and thus bromine acts as a plasticizer. bro-

mine can be washed out of the fiber witti aqueous ammonia solution. The

anmonia penetrates into the polymer, reacts with the bromine, producing NH,3r

and N,, and this process causes changes in fine structure of the fiber. This

is accompanied by a rise in strength with' respect to that of fiber treated

only with bromine. Pores are formed vithin the fiber, thus raising its ab-

sorption capacity. In this way it is possible to raise absorption of dis-

perse dyestuffs by 40°= and of basic dyestuffs bv 25%.

Microcrystalline cellulose is produced by an exhaustive hydrolysis of puri-

fied native cellulose, followed by breaking up the crystalline aggregates

by shearing action. The degree of polymerization of microcrystalline

cellulose used in this study corresponded to a fluidity of 18 rhes (recipro-

cal poises) and its x-ray crystallinity index was 0.5A. The accessibility >

by the bromine method and by the I.R. ratio —5^-= - was 0.44 and theoSJ cmwater regain 7.41 X. Treating the microcrystalline cellulose with a 1.81

moles/1 Br0 solution brought about a pronounced increase in the crystal-

Unity of the material, which was basically similar to previous results on

cotton and other celluloses. Upon treatment for 23 hours at 40°C, the x-ray0

crystallinity index increased to 0.67 and the I.R. accessibility decreased

to 4%, along with a decrease in moisture regain to 64%. The fluidity in-

creased only slightly to 18.3 rhes. A drastic change in the not alkali solu-

bility and in the yellowing of the alkaline extract was also obtained. The

above results indicate that the microcrystalline cellulose became almost

entirely crystalline due to the aligning action of the charge transfer com-

plex bridge formed by the bromine molecules between neighboring chains. The

hydrolysis brings about the cleavage of the polymeric chains in the LORij °

between the crystalline regions and thus increases the mobility of the chain

ends. While this increased mobility assists the crystallization to a small

extent (up to crystallinity indeces of 0.54) a chain orienting factor is

needed to produce high crystallinity.

ONE ASPECT OF GYPSUM DEPOSITION IN DEAD SEA MATERAND ITS MIXTURES WITH MEDITERRANEAN SEA WATER

B.S. KRUMGALZIsrael Oceanographic & Limnological Research, Haifa, Israel

If the widely-discussed project, the Mediterranean - Dead Sea canal, will befulfilled, these two different water bodies will be mixed. When this mixingtakes place, two opposite effects will occur: the SO?" anion concentration willincrease but the Ca cation concentration will decrease in the mixtures ofthese waters. Complex behavior has been found regarding the degree of gypsumsaturation for Dead Sea and Mediterranean Sea water mixtures (Katz et ai.,1981; Levy, 1981; Krumgalz and Millero, 1982, 1983). It was found that thegypsum formation process in the Dead Sea under present conditions is limitedt\y some kinetic factors. The question now is, if gypsum crystals will beformed owing to the mixing of Mediterranean and Dead Sea waters, how long willit take these crystals to sink to the sea bottom? The rate of gypsum crystals'deposition was calculated by

Using our measurements of the den-sity and viscosity of Dead Sea water and its mixtures with Mediterranean Seawater, the deposition rate of gypsum crystals with equivalent diameters of 12,

it15, 20 and 25 u at different temperatures was calculated. These calculationswere carried out only for those mixtures which, according to thermodynamiccalculations (Krumgalz and Millero, 1983), are ovefsaturated with respect togypsum. The analysis of the results obtained shows that the deposition ofgypsum crystals with equivalent diameters more than 12 u in the water columnof Dead Sea water and its mixtures with Mediterranean Sea water will be rela-tively very fast. Therefore, according to these data, there is no danger thatthe gypsum which can be formed under certain conditions will float on thewater surface.

COMPUTERS IN THE LABORATORY: A .HOVEL

METHOD FOR TEACHING ON-LINE COMPUTING

M.BtN-ZION 'Dept. of Chemistry, Bar-IIan University, Ramat-Gan 52100, Israel

A novel approach to teaching on-line computing to chemistry and biology students

is the basis for a course entitled COMPUTERS IN THE LABORATORY. Originally

designed for third year chemistry undergraduates, the material and methods have

also oeen used with similar success in 3ar-Ilan's high school computer workshops.

The Dasic philosophy of the 60 hour course is to provide the students with the

necessary skills to exploit the resources of the department's PDP 11/40 mini-

computer during their graduate careers and in their future roles as scientists.

The formal lecture material includes BASIC programming and graphics, hardware

design for instrumental interfacing, software considerations with regard to

datd acquisition and processing and techniques for real-time interaction.

A considerable amount of software was developed for the course in the DASIC

language and is implemented in teaching, the BASIC language itself, in utilizing

the VT-11 graphics display, ana in providing access to the entire range of

sampling techniques permitted by the laboratory interface units.

lite programming assignments are designed to emphasize, the poignant portions of

the subject matter while at the same time holding the students' interest.

Perhaps the most unusual aspect of the course is the fact that the students sit

in front of and use tne computer terminals during the actual lecture sessions.

The locture is accompanied D> overhead projections of programming examples for

cne siudent to execute during the session.

This inethoa of "teaching at the terminals" proves to be agonizingly slow during

tne first few lessons while the students are busy familiarizing themselves with

tne operation of tne terminal ana tne uASIC operating commands. By the third or

fou^tn session, the lecture pace reaches an optimum level, and by the time the

first programming exercises art distributed, most of the practical and technical

difficulties usually encountered by new programmers are conspicuously absent.

THE USE OF MICROCOMPUTERS FOR THE SOLUTION OF PROBLEMS IN CHEMISTRYa ^

Y* MARCUS, A. LOEMENSCHUSS

Dept. of Inorganic and Analytical Chenistry, The Hebrew University,Jerusalem

Microcomputers are becoming wore COMMOD, and arm used also as hone

or personal computers, but we found that advanced undergraduate

and even graduate students were reluctant to employ then < Possible

reasons are the necessity to learn a conputer language and opera-

tional rules and an insufficient ability to translate problens into

computer logic* We therefore teach the studentsMthe required skills

and enphasizes the easy access to Microcomputers and their applica-

bility to problens in chemistry* The language to be used is BASIC,

which is easy to learn and flexible in its application. The purpose

of the course is neither to turn the students into conputer experts

nor is it ained at those who use conputers as their nain research

tool* We hope to inpart notivated student a feeling for what the

nicroconputer can do for then*

The course consists of a few introductory lectures* followed by

guided hands-on work in an informal setting* Lectures include*

the nicroconputer and its structural logic ; storage and retrieval

of infornationf peripherals, elementary progranning in 'basic';

formulation of problens as flow-schenes and programs; advanced pro-

granning 'files and strings; conputer graphics* Practical examples*

linear regression by least squares} consecutive or sinultaneous

exponential decay curves; numerical integration; roots of equations

by the Newton-Raphson method ; deconvolution of spectral or chroma-

tographic peaks; determination of eigenvalues; titration- or pola-

rographic curves, activity coefficients of weak electrolytes; force

constants from vibrational spectre; simulation of spectra; etc*

Concerning the inclusion of on-line uses* we note that computerized

data collection and evaluation is increasingly applied, but the in-

corporation of specific computers in instrumentation nay make this

less relevant*

THE MICROCOMPUTERS AND CHEMICAL EDUCATION

Z. SCHERZ, R. BEN-ZVIDept. of Science Teaching, The Weizmann Institute of Science, Rehovot,

4 Israel.

The microcomputer is Increasingly becoming a common feature in many chemistryclassrooms and laboratories. Computer Aided Instruction (CAI) programs whichare Instructional /software (courseware) that provide learning through Inter-action with the computer,were recently developed in U.S.A. and Western Europe.There are five levels of CAI that can be employed using the microcomputer:1. Dri l l and Practice, which provides an opportunity for individual practiceof classroom material. 2. Tutorial, which is an Instructional entity in thecurriculum that teaches rules, concepts and contents within the subject matter.3. Gaming, a situation where students have to manipulate facts and skills inorder to win the game. 4. Simulation, a situation where physical reality ortheoretical models are simulated via the computer. 5. Problem solving, astimulus situation which combines previously learned rules into a new higherorder rule. Other uses of microcomputer such as data processing and analysing,class management and interfacing to laboratory equipment can also beimplemented in the chemistry class. Only few of the chemistry software packagesthat are available in the market can be considered to have good instructionaland educational value. In the Weizmann Institute of Science we are startingto establish a microcomputer oriented team by collecting and reviewing existingcoursewares and developing original high school chemistry CAI. One specificaim is to use the computer's special features to enable better instruction ofsome chemistry topics e.g. models, kinetics, chemical bond. A second aim isto develop programs aimed to treat students' misconceptions with regards tochemistry concepts.

OUT OtGANIC AND INORGANIC CHEMISTRY BE INTEGRATED IN

A TERTIARY LEVEL COURSE ?

MAVA BEN-ZVT, EVERYMAN'S UNIVERSITY,

TEL-AVIV, ISRAEL

The limits of the various branches of Chemistry - organic, inorganic

and physical chemistry - are quite difficult to define in recent years.

This fact brought up the idea to develop a multimedia course in the

tertiary level encompassing organic and inorganic topics.

A textbook suitable for both introductory organic and inorganic chemistry

cannot and should not be encyclopedic. Therefore every effort has been

made to present the many facets of chemistry rather than to treat

exhaustively selected topics.

The emphasis in this course is on structural and bonding principles,

mostly based on W, VIS, IR, NMR and MS data. Still it is believed

that sufficient^ "descriptive" chemistry has been included to give the

student a good appreciation of the range of properties and reactions

encountered.

Students studying this course are of Everyman's University student

population, coming from exceedingly diverse backgrounds and of differentmain interest of study. The matin ideas and the use of variety of

audiovisual aids a.ir? laboratory techniques which serve in the course

are presented in the poster.

THREE-DIMENSIONAL POINTERS FOR STEREOSCOPIC PROJECTION

H.J.G. HAYMAN

Dept. of Physical Chemistry, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Jerusalem,Israel .

Stereoscopic projection involving separate pictures for each eye is often used

for i l lust rat ing molecular structure but suffers from the disadvantage that an

ordinary pointer cannot be used for indicating a particular atom since each

observer would see such a pointer in a different position with respect to the

stereoscopic image. This d i f f icu l ty can be overcome by using stereoscopic pro-

jection not only for the molecule but also for the pointer i t se l f . Two separate

images of the pointer are projected onto the screen via polaroid f i l t e r s so

that an observer using appropriate polarizing glasses w i l l see a single pointer

in space at a distance in front of (or behind) the screen depending on the dis-

tance between the two pointer images on the screen. Three different pointers

based on this principle have been used; the f i r s t of these uses two V-filament

lamps mounted side by side and projected onto the screen by means of two achro-

matic lenses. Changing the distance between these two lenses changes the dis-

tance between the two V-filament images on the screen so that the single stereo-

scopic V-filament image noves towards or away from the screen. This pointer

can also be used satisfactori ly with anaglyphic projection by replacing the two

Polaroid f i l t e r s by red and blue-green f i l t e r s , respectively. The second of our

three-dimensional pointers was designed for use with a double-headed overhead

projector. Two parallel wire pointers immediately below the glass stage sup-

porting the stereo-pair transparency are projected together with the transpar-

ency; changing the distance between these two wire pointers causes their stereo-

scopic image to move towards or away from the screen. Our third three-dimension-

al pointer was designed for pin-pointing the individual atoms of complex mole-

cules such as proteins. A beam-splitter is used to obtain two parallel beans

from a He-Ne laser and these beams after passing through low-power lenses and

Polaroid f i l t e r s form two red spots on the screen. The distance between these

two red spots- and hence the distance of their stereoscopic image from the screen

is changed by lateral movement of the above-mentioned lenses.

CHEMISTRY COURSE AS A MANS OF INTERGRATING STUDENTS OF DISADVANTAGED

BACKGROUNDS INTO ACADEMIC STUDIES

S . YARIV*AND R. COHEN**

*Dept. of Inorganic and Analytical Chemistry Hebrew University Jerusalem Israel

**Pre Academic Centre Hebrew University Jerusalem Israel

At the Pie-Academic Centre of the Hebrew University students of disadvant-

aged backgrounds are being prepared - through the study of various disciplines -

for the required standard for university admittance. A successful completion

of the course enables the students to intergrate and compete with other student?

at the Academic level. Chemistry is among the :ourses given in this framework.

The standard of the students and limitations of time dictate the curriculum in

chemistry.Molecular and crystal models are used extensively to concretise the

concepts involved at the microscopic level. Kiotivation and interest are raised

by classroom demonstrations of phenomena and reactions. Qualitative- and

quantitative exper ments are performed by the students themselves during

laboratory periods. Films serve to enrich and to clarify selected topics.

With regard to the specific difficulties of the student population emphasis has

been laid on the acquisition of learning habits catering as much as possible to

the individual needs of the students. Learning, recalling and organizing

facts serve as a first ste^ to arriving at conclustions. Clear and precise

expression of written u.siteri:.l in essays, laboratory reports, special projects

and examinations, while a3so usii-g mathematical skills, is a crucial part of the

scientific education. Although the chemical sylabus foilowed is comparable to

that of the four credit high school chemistry sylabus, still the methods and

emphasis of the course at the l're-Academic Centre are definitely unique.

The organization of the course and related materials are presented in the

poster.

CHEMISTRY MANAGEMENT - A NEW ORIENTATION FOR A BASIC SCIENCE

o u

IRVIN M. GOTTUEBCollege of Arts and Sciences, Hidener University, Chester, PA, USA

THE CHEMISTRY MANAGEMENT PROGRAM is designed for the student who is interestedin chemistry but does not wish to follow along traditional research-laboratorycareer lines. It combines a broad background in the discipline of chemistrywith a comprehension of the principles of business (accounting, economics andmanagement) so that the graduate can recognize what information is pertinentto a product or process and evaluate its industrial significance. He is pre-pared for an administrative position in a chemical organization, medical fa-cility, product marketing, operations management, or as a financial investmentand portfolio manager in the chemical industry.
