Halide compounds measurements

Molecular absorption involves the absorption of HCL radiation by small molecules produced by components of the sample matrix. Alkali metal halide compounds absorb radiation throughout the ultraviolet region where most ETA-AAS measurements are performed, as shown in Figure 2. These broad spectra are caused by absorption of source emission that induces photodissociation of the molecules. In addition to photodissociation continuum spectra, other molecules are characterized by electronic band spectra, which are typically 0.5-10 nm in width and may be further split into vibrational and rotational... 

These include association, complexes, and environmental factors for acetates, benzoates471, carboxylatcs substituted pyridines, dithiophosphorus and carbon ligands, and a range of nitrogen derivatives. The antifungal activity and spectral characteristics of tin-sulphur compounds are measured and equUibria of organolead halide adducts measured and compared. ... 

In the course of this study, the authors determined /Lvalues for dibenzyl, methyl phenyl, methyl p-nitrophenyl, di-p-tolyl, di-isopropyl and tetramethylene sulphoxides and for diethyl, dipropyl and dibutyl sulphites. The /Lscales are applied to the various reactions or the spectral measurements. The /Lscales have been divided into either family-dependent (FD) types, which means two or more compounds can share the same /Lscale, family-independent (FI) types. Consequently, a variety of /Lscales are now available for various families of the bases, including 29 aldehydes and ketones, 17 carboxylic amides and ureas, 14 carboxylic acids esters, 4 acyl halides, 5 nitriles, 10 ethers, 16 phosphine oxides, 12 sulphinyl compounds, 15 pyridines and pyrimidines, 16 sp3 hybridized amines and 10 alcohols. The enthalpies of formation of the hydrogen bond of 4-fluorophenol with both sulphoxides and phosphine oxides and related derivatives fit the empirical equation 18, where the standard deviation is y = 0.983. Several averaged scales are shown in Table 1588. 

The Sn Mossbauer data for Sn7S2Brio, Sn4SeBr, and Sn4TeBr, have been measured, and compared with those of the parent halides and chalcogenides. The data are consistent with a random distribution of halide and chalcogenide anions (104). Thus far, the reflection spectra of a few tin(IV) compounds assumed to be semiconductors have... 

The trivalent [P04] and [As04] ions react similarly. Examples of anions that give insoluble Hg(I) compounds in this way include halides, pseudohalides, halates, carboxylates and sulfate. A trace of HNO3 or HCIO4 is often added to the solution of the Hg(I) nitrate or perchlorate to prevent disproportionation induced by alkali. Table 1 lists common Hg(I) derivatives prepared in this way and includes values of the solubility products of the sparingly soluble Hg(I) compounds where these are measured. A similar reaction is used to prepare HgjCO, from a soluble bicarbonate ... 

Charge distributions and bonding in compounds of Cd and Hg in the solid and gaseous states can be studied by the well-established X-ray photoelectron spectrometry (XPS) and ultraviolet photoelectron spectrometry (UPS), respectively. With XPS, inner-shell electrons are removed which are indirectly influenced by the bonding, i.e., distribution of the valence electrons. UPS sees this electron distribution directly, since it measures the residual kinetic energies of electrons removed from the valence shells of the atoms, or, better, from the outer occupied orbitals of the molecules. The most detailed information accessible by UPS is obtained on gases, and it is thus applied here to volatile compounds, i.e., to the halides mainly of Hg and to organometallic compounds.
