Involatile species

Recent developments for generating gas-phase samples from involatile chemicals have increased applications for those structural techniques that require samples to be presented in gaseous form. Techniques for generating gaseous molecular ions from the condensed phase have had massive impacts in the fields of mass spectrometry and photoelectron spectroscopy. We discuss a number of different ionization techniques in Section 11.2.1, but for now comment on the particular success of electrospray [Pg.28]

For other techniques, such as microwave spectroscopy and gas-phase electron diffraction, involatile samples can be subjected to laser desorption, but there might still be problems in generating sufficient vapour pressure. [Pg.29]


The high dust loadings at the base of the uptake shaft act as a scrubber for volatile species (such as arsenic and tin) in the flue gas, which can drop out and enter the bath as involatile species (eg lead arsenate) and thus report to lead bullion. A dust drop-out section is also included between the uptake shaft and the convection section. [Pg.112]

As electron diffraction provides direct measurement of interatomie distanees, it is an ideal method for the determination of the molecular stmcmres of gases. Moreover, moleeules in the gas phase are free from the intermolecular interactions and the influence of fields that ean distort a structure (particularly the conformation) in the crystalline state, or even change it completely. We will see some examples of this in the case histories presented in Chapter 12. But there are, of course, limits to the usefiilness of electron diffraction, of which the most obvious is that gaseous samples are needed. The essential requirement is that the compound to be smdied should have a vapor pressure of about 1 mbar at a temperature at which it is stable. Lower vapor pressures can be used, but the experiments are more difficult to perform. As long as no decomposition occurs, the temperature does not really matter, and such involatile species as alkali metal halides or lanthanide halides and some metal oxides have been studied at temperatures of up to 2000 K or more. However, we should remember that raising the sample temperamre increases amplitudes of vibration, and can change the relative populations of isomers or conformers. [Pg.320]

A major shortcoming of SPME is the lack of fibres that are polar enough to extract very polar or ionic species from aqueous solutions without first changing the nature of the species before derivatization. Ionic, polar and involatile species have to be derivatized to GC amenable species before SPME extraction. [Pg.16]

How do we decide whether to separate a mixture by gc or hplc In gc, mixtures are examined in the vapour phase, so that we have to be able to form a stable vapour from our mixture, or convert the substances in it to derivatives that are thermally stable. Only about 20% of chemical compounds are suitable for gc without some form of sample modification the remainder are thermally unstable or involatile. In addition, substances with highly polar or ionisable functional groups often show poor chromatographic behaviour by gc, being very prone to tailing. Thus hplc is the better technique for macromolecules, inorganic or other ionic species, labile natural products, pharmaceutical compounds and biochemicals. [Pg.20]

Fig. 11.6. Diagram depicting desorption ionization (MALDI, FAB or SIMS). The operating principles of the three techniques are similar. The initiating event is exposure of the analyte to a beam of photons, atoms or ions. In order to prevent damage to the fragile analyte molecules and enhance the conversion of the involatile molecules into gas-phase ions, a matrix is employed. For MALDI, the matrix compounds are UV absorbing compounds such as hydroxycinnamic acid. The most commonly used FAB matrix was glycerol and ammonium chloride was employed by some investigators in SIMS experiments (although at low ion beam fluxes molecular species could be effectively ionized for many analytes with minimal evidence of damage by the primary ion beam).

Although this work is still incomplete, it shows that some tertiary oxonium ions are formed in the reaction, but that by far the greater part of the active species are secondary oxonium ions. The origin of the tertiary oxonium ions, which yield the involatile phenyl ether by reaction with C6H5CT, is not at all clear at present. Some may be formed from an impurity in the monomer and others may arise from a slow side-reaction. [Pg.733]

The arrangement remains puzzling, but the bees easily resolve the problem (or what we see as a problem). When the parasitic bees mate, the male simply sprays some of his F6 on the female. The compound is relatively involatile and so persists on the gravid female as she seeks host nests for her eggs. Perfumed with F6 from her mate, the parasitic female penetrates the host nest and completes her task unchallenged. At least three other species of parasitic Nomada bees gain acceptance by their Andrena hosts in this way. [Pg.120]

Finally, one must consider the possibility of an involatile residue being formed by one or more of the atomic species present in the molecular gas, e.g., adsorbed carbon from CF. Unless this residue is removed by some mechanism (step 5), it will terminate the etching reaction. Electron and ion bombardment could enhance residue removal by many of the same mechanisms mentioned above in connection with steps 2-4. [Pg.106]

This species is believed to polymerize and to be responsible for the inert film of involatile material formed on the surface of the reaction cell. Such films have also been observed by Charles et al.55... [Pg.167]

The cyanide ion is both a pseudohalide and an isoelectronic equivalent of carbon monoxide. Nearly all the complexes which it forms are charged species, prepared in water or other polar solvents, and isolated as involatile salts whose detailed structures must be determined by diffraction... [Pg.7]

In line with these observations, earlier " Sn Mossbauer spectroscopic studies of rigid PVC samples containing Sn02 as a fire-retardant additive have shown that Sn(IV) is partially reduced to Sn(II) species (SnCl2 and SnO) and even to metallic tin during thermal degradation and combustion processes.In this case, the relatively involatile SnCb is detected in the char residue, whereas highly volatile SnCU is not. [Pg.347]

All coals contain some sodium combined in the alumino-silicate species which will remain largely involatile in the flame. The ratio of the silicate sodium to non-silicate sodium varies over a wide range. The alkali-metal is present chiefly in the silicates in low chlorine bituminous coals. In the high chlorine bituminous coals and in many lignites and sub-bituminous coals it is present mainly in a flame volatile form. [Pg.141]
