Size distribution phosphorus

The obtained STPP liposomes were characterized by size distribution analysis, P NMR spectroscopy (Fig. 3), and by zeta potential measurements (Fig. 4). The size of liposomes with 20 mol% incorporated STPP was determined to be 132 zb 59 nm, which did not change significantly upon storage at 4°C over several days. The P NMR spectrum of STPP liposomes shows two chemical shifts correlating to the phosphorus in the lipid s phosphate groups and to the positively charged phosphorus of STPP. No differences in both chemical shifts between the free compounds (i.e., free STPP and free... 

The above procedures for catalyst preparation have generally provided excellent results. Especially important are surface-sensitive reactions. With supported catalysts in which the active components have a narrow particle-size distnbution, the optimum particle size for a demanding reaction can be established. Major improvements of supported catalysts, e.g. with respect to carbon deposition and ammonia decomposition, can be achieved by preparing catalysts with a narrow par-ticle-size distribution. Also, the preparation of catalysts in which the active components have a uniform chemical composition is highly important One instance is the preparation of supported vanadium oxide phosphorus oxide (VPO) catalysts for the selective oxidation of w-butane to maleic anhydride, which has been carried out using vanadium(III) deposition onto silica [31]...

Polyphosphazenes are inorganic polymers with properties and applicability that can be varied within exceptionally wide ranges with the functional substituent groups attached to the phosphorus atoms in their —P=N— chains. In general, the structure of a polymer is determined by the precursor monomer, and its properties are more the result of the statistical size distribution than of deliberate... 

Some atoms take on more than a full octet s worth of electrons. These atoms are said to be hypervalent or hypercoordinated. The phosphorus of phosphorus pentachloride, PCI5, is an example. These kinds of situations require an atom from Period (row) 3 or higher within the periodic table. The exact reasons for this restriction are still debated. Certainly, the larger atomic size of these atoms allows room to accommodate the bulk of all the binding partners that distribute around the central atom s valence shell. In some cases, even noble gases like xenon (Xe) form compounds. Because noble gases already have a filled valence shell, they automatically violate the octet rule.
