When solutions of beryllium salts are brought together with red-violet solutions of quinalizarin [1,2,5,8-tetrahydroxyanthraquinone (I)] in am-moniacal or caustic alkali solution, a blue-violet precipitate or color appears. Although quinalizarin, as a derivative of alizarin, is a lake-forming dyestuff, which produces red to red-violet adsorption compounds with oxyhydrates of aluminum, zirconium, thorium, etc., its beryllium reaction product seems to be a stoichiometrically defined compound rather than an adsorption complex. In conformity with the fact that the blue product contains two atoms of beryllium combined with one molecule of quinalizarin, it seems proper to view the material as a basic beryllium salt with the structure (II) or (Ila) ... 

Phosgene may be disposed of by neutralization with alkalis such as agricultural lime (CaO), crushed limestone (CaC03), or sodium bicarbonate (NuHCOb), or alkali solutions. The resulting products should be discarded in conformance with all federal, state, provincial, and local environmental regulations.

So far we have assumed that the electronic structure of the crystal consists of one band derived, in our approximation, from a single atomic state. In general, this will not be a realistic picture. The metals, for example, have a complicated system of overlapping bands derived, in our approximation, from several atomic states. This means that more than one atomic orbital has to be associated with each crystal atom. When this is done, it turns out that even the equations for the one-dimensional crystal cannot be solved directly. However, the mathematical technique developed by Baldock (2) and Koster and Slater (S) can be applied (8) and a formal solution obtained. Even so, the question of the existence of otherwise of surface states in real crystals is diflBcult to answer from theoretical considerations. For the simplest metals, i.e., the alkali metals, for which a one-band model is a fair approximation, the problem is still difficult. The nature of the difficulty can be seen within the framework of our simple model. In the first place, the effective one-electron Hamiltonian operator is really different for each electron. If we overlook this complication and use some sort of mean value for this operator, the operator still contains terms representing the interaction of the considered electron with all other electrons in the crystal. The Coulomb part of this interaction acts in such a way as to reduce the effect of the perturbation introduced by the existence of a free surface. A self-consistent calculation is therefore essential, and the various parameters in our theory would have to be chosen in conformity with the results of such a calculation. 

Addition of an alkali metal ion to 23 should also make this host molecule a better binder of aromatic guest molecules. In the aa conformation unlike the as conformation-the 7r-electron rich naphthalene walls are capable of sandwiching rc-electron poor molecules (see Fig. 12). Indeed, upon addition of a potassium salt to a solution of 23, the for binding of 1,3-dinitrobenzene increases by a factor of 2 to 6, depending on the solvent systems [26]. Consistent with the proposed structure of the complex of 23 with sodium ions, addition of these ions has no effect on the of 23 with 1,3-dinitrobenzene. 

The X-ray structure of the L-Sr(Picrate)2 (L = p-tert-butyl-calix[4]arene-tetra(diethylamide)) is reported, as well as MD simulations on the L M2+ complexes in vacuo, in water, and in acetonitrile solutions for alkaline earth cations with a comparison of converging and diverging conformers.130 In the simulated and solid-state structures of the L M2+ complex, the ligand wraps around the complexed cations M2+ (more than it does with alkaline cations), which are completely encapsulated within the polar pseudo-cavity of L, without coordination to its counterion in the crystal or to solvent molecules in solution. In contrast to alkali cation complexes, which display conformational flexibility in solution, computations show that the alkaline earth cation complexes are of the converging type in water and in acetonitrile. Subtle structural changes from Mg2+ to Ba2+ are observed in the gas phase and in solution. Based on FBP calculations, a binding sequence of alkaline earth cations was determined Mg2+ displays the weakest affinity for L, while Ca2+ and Sr2+ are the most stable complexes, which is in agreement with the experiment. 

As mentioned earlier, plasmid DNA is present as small supercoiled circular double-stranded DNA in bacteria. In this conformation, plasmid DNA is more resistant to alkaline denaturation than is host genomic DNA. Hence disruption of cells bearing plasmid DNA followed by the addition of alkali and subsequent neutralization and centrifugation leads to the precipitation of denatured genomic DNA and proteins, whereas plasmid DNA remains in the solution [7], Plasmid DNA can be recovered from the supernatant by ethanol precipitation and may be further purified [3,4],... 

For example, the respective values at pH 10.6 are 0.262, 0.494, and 1.04 mole per cent (ratio of about 1 2 4) at pH 11.2 the values are 0.420, 0.780, and 1.32 mole per cent and at pH 12.5 (pH of 1% protein solution in 0.IN NaOH), the respective values are 0.762, 0.780, and 2.62 mole per cent. (Note that the value of casein approaches that of gluten at this pH). The observed differences in lysinoalanine content of the three proteins at different pH values are not surprising since the amino acid composition, sequence, protein conformation, molecular weights of protein chains, initial formation of intra- versus intermolecular crosslinks may all influence the chemical reactivity of a particular protein with alkali. Therefore, it is not surprising to find differences in lysinoalanine content in different proteins treated under similar conditions. These observations could have practical benefits since, for example, the lower lysinoalanine content of casein compared to lactalbumin treated under the same conditions suggests that casein is preferable to lactalbumin in foods requiring alkali-treatment.
