Barium species

Nature of the barium species involved in the NO storage process... 

On the other hand, if the feed gas contains H20 and/or C02 the most abundant barium species involved in the storage process are Ba(OH)2 and/or BaC03, respectively. These aspects will be discussed and clarified in the following sections. 

Allylbarium reagents homoallylic alcohols. The reaction of anhydrous Bal2 with lithium biphenylide (2 cquiv.) in THF provides a reactive barium species that reacts with allylic chlorides at —78° to form allylbarium chlorides. These reagents react with high a-selcctivity with carbonyl compounds to form homoallylic alcohols with retention of configuration.

Barium sulfide solutions undergo slow oxidation in air, forming elemental sulfur and a family of oxidized sulfur species including the sulfite, thiosulfate, polythionates, and sulfate. The elemental sulfur is retained in the dissolved bquor in the form of polysulfide ions, which are responsible for the yellow color of most BaS solutions. Some of the mote highly oxidized sulfur species also enter the solution. Sulfur compound formation should be minimized to prevent the compounds made from BaS, such as barium carbonate, from becoming contaminated with sulfur. 

Resoles are usually those phenolics made under alkaline conditions with an excess of aldehyde. The name denotes a phenol alcohol, which is the dominant species in most resoles. The most common catalyst is sodium hydroxide, though lithium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, and barium hydroxides or oxides are also frequently used. Amine catalysis is also common. Occasionally, a Lewis acid salt, such as zinc acetate or tin chloride will be used to achieve some special property. Due to inclusion of excess aldehyde, resoles are capable of curing without addition of methylene donors. Although cure accelerators are available, it is common to cure resoles by application of heat alone. 

Since an ionic solution contains two species of solute particles, the positive and negative ions, it is often useful to mention the molality of each species. If barium chloride, for example, dissolved in a solvent, is completely dissociated into Ba++ ions and Cl- ions, the molality of the Ba++ will be equal to the molality of the solute BaCb, while the molality of the Cl- will be twice as great. 

The kinetics of polymerization and conductometric studies of barium polystyrene with one active end-group per chain were reported by De Groof et al. 79,80). Formation of an unconventional anionic species, Ba2 +, (CH(Ph)CH2—)j, had to be postulated to account for the results. The existence of such a species is supported by the recent study of the kinetics of polymerization of lithium polystyrene performed in the presence of barium polystyrene endowed with two active endgroups 78). The polymerization of the lithium salt is retarded by the presence of the barium salt, and the retardation is accounted for by the formation of the inert aggregated anions,... 

Phenol-formaldehyde (PF) resins were synthesized to manufacture non-flammable insulating foam. When alkali catalyst, for example, barium hydroxide (Ba(OH)2), was present, lesol resins are produced[l]. In the analj s of molecular species of resol, capillary GC-MS had been used to separate hemiformal-type compoimds(acetylated hydroxybenzylhaniformals)...

The exchange between the ruthenium anions RuO and RuO " in aqueous hydroxide media has been found rapid. A limit for the rate coefficient at 0 °C of > 1.7x10 l.mole . sec has been proposed by Luoma and Brubaker. The isotopic method ( ° Ru), and separation procedures based on the precipitation of the Ru04 or RuOJ species with barium or tetraphenylarsonium ions, respectively, were used. Attempts to use an esr technique failed. 

Since BaTi40g and Na2TieOi3 have a pentagonal prism tunnel and a rectangular tunnel structure, respectively, we have paid attention to the role of the tunnel structures in photocatalysis. A barium titanate, Ba4Tii303o, in a series of Ba-Ti titanates was chosen as a representative with non-tunnel structure, and we have compared the photocatalytic activity and the ability for the production of surface radical species with uv irradiation between the tunnel and the non-tunnel titanates. 

Similar accidents have happened when barium perchlorate is added to to C3 alcohols as well as 1 -octanol. The latter alcohol demonstrates the nature of this danger and is a counter-example of the typical observation of stabilisation of unstable species, when the number of carbon atoms increases (whereas it is the case for peroxides and peracids). 

The half-life of a radioactive species is defined as the time it takes for the activity of the sample to drop by 50%. In this activity, you will investigate the decay of 137Bam, a metastable isotope of barium that undergoes gamma decay with a half-life of several minutes. 

Fig. 4. — (a) Gel-Filtration (G. F.) and (b) Electrophoretic (E. P.) Patterns of a Typical, Pig-mucosal Heparin. [Shoulders on the gel-filtration curve (Sephadex G-75, column 180 X 1 cm, 10% Na acetate + 10% EtOH) and bands in the electrophoretograms (cellulose acetate, low amperage, 0.1 Af barium acetate) indicate heparin species differing from each other as regards both mean mol. wt. and degree of sulfation (d.s.). The dashed curve is the electrophoretogram of the fraction of lowest mol. wt. (separated by gel-filtration), accounting for 10% of the total heparin.44]... 

Heparin may also be subfractionated on a preparative scale, by precipitation of its sodium or barium salt with ethanol. Whereas sodium salts afford a continuum of species essentially differing in molecular weight,210 the solubility curves of barium salts show discrete steps, indi-... 

From the foregoing discussion, it is apparent that heparin may be subdivided into an unlimited number of fractions when different separation approaches are applied to each fraction obtained by another procedure. More than a hundred fractions have been obtained by sequential use of affinity chromatography on antithrombin, precipitation with barium, and isoelectrofocusing.214 Although these fractions can scarcely be referred to as species, such an extensive fractionation stresses the concept of the heterogeneity of heparin, and the influence of minor differences in chemical constituents, or chain length, or both, on the physicochemical (and, conceivably, biological) properties of this polysaccharide. 

Metals are divided into light (also called alkali-earth metals) and heavy. All toxic metals are heavy metals except for beryllium and barium. Additionally, other categories of elements that are or may be significant chemically as dissolved species in deep-well-injection zones include the following ... 

This latter point was stressed by some of us in a recent report studying NO storage and reduction on commercial LSR (lean storage-reduction) catalysts, in order to catch valuable information about the behaviour of typical NO storage materials in real application conditions. Nature, thermal stability and relative amounts of the surface species formed on a commercial catalyst upon NO and 02 adsorption in the presence and in the absence of water were analysed using a novel system consisting of a quartz infrared reactor. Operando IR plus MS measurements showed that carbonates present in the fresh catalyst are removed by replacement with barium nitrate species after the first nitration of the material. Nitrate species coordinated to different barium sites are the predominant surface species under dry and wet conditions. The difference in the species stabilities suggested that barium sites possess different basicity and, therefore, that they are able to stabilize nitrates at different temperatures. At temperatures below 523 K, nitrite species were observed. The presence of water at mild temperatures in the reactant flow makes unavailable for NO adsorption the alumina sites [181]. 

Although the exact nature of the active center in polymerizations of butadiene with these Ba-Mg-Al catalysts is not known, we believe that the preference for trans-1,4 addition is a direct consequence of two aspects of this polymerization system, namely (1) the formation of a specific organobarium structure in a highly complexed state with Mg and A1 species, and (2) the association of the polybutadiene chain end with a dipositive barium counterion which is highly electropositive. 

In order to suppress interferences due to the presence of inorganic species and reliably determine the proteinaceous composition of the sample, a clean-up step has often been introduced in the analytical procedure. This step may include the extraction of the proteinaceous matter by an ammonia solution [8], the use of a cation-exchange resin [8,55], a chelating agent [9,41,44], the use of a Cig resin or the use of barium chloride solution to suppress sulfates [10,81,82]. Table 9.1 reports the methods used to overcome such problems. 

The interactions of (212) and related species with monovalent and divalent metal cations have been studied by nmr spectroscopy (Lehn Simon, 1977). The study indicated that sequential formation of mono-and di-cation complexes occurs (see [4.7]). These studies, and especially a 13C nmr study of the 1 1 complex of (212) with barium nitrate, suggest that the 1 1 species are unsymmetrical with the metal ion being contained in one of the azacrown cavities. Nevertheless, the nmr data also indicate that these 1 1 species undergo internal cation exchange between the respective azacrown sites. This intramolecular dynamic behaviour serves... 

For the heavier alkaline earth elements the characterized compounds are octahedral monomers, dimers, or separated-ion species. The complexes M(SR)2 (M=Ca, Sr, Ba) have been obtained by aminolysis and proved to be soluble in solvents such as py these compounds decompose rather cleanly to their metal sulfides.86 The monomeric species include [M(EMes )2(thf)4] (M=Ca, Sr, Ba E=S, Se),87 89 [Ca(SC6F5)2(py)4],90 [Ca(SMes )2(18-crown-6)] thf,90 or [Ba(Se-Trip)2(18-crown-6)].87 Only a dimeric barium derivative, [Ba(SeTrip) (py)3(thf)]2, has been described.87 For these elements separated ion-triple species, such as [M(18-crown-6)(hmpa)2][EMes ]2 (M=Ca, Sr, Ba E=S, Se)87,88,91 or contact/separated ion-triple species as [Ba(SMes )(18-crown-6)(hmpa)][SMes ] have been reported.91... 

It is also possible to isolate bis(carbene) complexes involving the heavier alkaline earth metals. Thus, the reaction of two equivalents of 4 (R = Me or (Bu, R = H) with calcium, strontium and barium bis(trimethylsilyl)amides [M N(SiMe3)2 2(thf)2] (M = Ca, Sr, Ba) resulted in the displacement of two thf molecules to afford the corresponding biscarbene species, 19 (19). The solubilities and stabilities of these complexes were found to decrease from calcium to barium. 

Using a tetradentate ligand, Rees and Moreno have proposed the first example of a monomeric barium bis-alkoxide (26). The proposed solution structure (Fig. 2) was determined based on ciyoscopic and spectroscopic data. One notable characteristic of this monomeric barium alkoxide is that it is an ambient temperature liquid. Although the compound exists as a monomer in the solution state, oligomeric species prevail in the absence of solvent. This phenomenon has been ob-... 

Spectral interferences are not common in atomic absorption but can occur. An element with an absorption line sufficiently close to the one of the test element that it overlaps would cause a positive interference. Fassel et a/.20) have discussed the problems of spectral interference. This type of interference, especially in biological samples, occurs only rarely, but the analyst should be aware of it. It is more serious if a continuous source is used. Molecular absorption is a more common spectral interference and occurs when a molecular absorption band overlaps with the atomic absorption line. For example, the CaOH species absorbs in the region of the barium 5535.5 A line. A 1 % calcium solution gives an absorption equivalent to what is expected from about 75 ppm barium21).
