Solid water irradiated

Another example of a Pc-based 1-D polymer is that reported by Armstrong and co-workers [158], They prepared a Pc with eight styrene-type polymerizable sites at the end of the peripheral substituents. This molecule forms highly ordered, rod-like aggregates at the air-water interface that can be transferred onto solid supports. Irradiation of the thin films affords polymerization between the olefin moieties of adjacent molecules by photostimulated [2 + 2] cycloaddition. The rod-like Pc macromolecules were conveniently studied by matrix-assisted laser desorp-tion/ionization (MALDI-TOF) spectrometry and atomic force microscopy (ATM), the latter showing rods with lengths up to 290 nm. 

In the case of double salts of anthracene-9-carboxylic acid (9-AC), which usually cyrstallized with included water and/or solvent, the 9-AC" component in the crystal underwent decarboxylation and reduction along with dimerization (Scheme 45) [77]. Although the head-to-tail dimer and a mixed dimer were obtained, the head-to-head one was not produced. The reactivity was influenced by the amount of the included solvenL e.g., (9-AC )2(c-chxiiH2 )(EtbH)xi was photostable, while (9-AC )2(c-chxnH2 )(EtOH)o,5 gave six photoproducts. Incidentally, the elusive head-to-head dimer was selectively obtained by solid-state irradiation of the 9-AC homocrystal as a thermally unstable product [78]. 

Ultraviolet sources of >290 nm are being increasingly used to simulate natural sunlight. Irradiations have been conducted in gas, solution, and solid phases to create results comparable to natural environmental conditions. Hustert and Korte (1972) showed that gas-phase irradiations did not affect a hexachlorobiphenyl compound but formed polar products from a tetrachloro-biphenyl and water. Irradiation in the gas phase is especially relevant to LCBPs that are relatively volatile. 

The proposed proeedure are detailed next eaeh SPMD was mierowave-assisted extraeted twiee with 30 mL hexane aeetone, and irradiated with 250 W power output, until 90°C in 10 minutes, being this temperature held for another 10 minutes. Clean-up of extraet was performed by aeetonitrile-hexane partitioning eoupled by a solid-phase extraetion with a eombined eartridge of 2 g basie-alumina (deaetivated with 5% water) and 0.5 g C. ... 

A 500-ml three-necked flask is fitted with a mechanical stirrer, a thermometer, a gas outlet, and a gas inlet tube dipping into the solution. The flask is charged with a solution of cyanuric acid (15 g, 0.116 mole) dissolved in 300 ml of 5% aqueous potassium hydroxide solution. The flask is cooled in an ice-salt bath with stirring to 0° and irradiated with a mercury lamp. A rapid stream of chlorine is passed into the flask (approx. 5 ml/sec), whereupon a heavy white precipitate forms. The addition of gas is continued until the solid material no longer forms (approx. 2 hours). The flask is briefly flushed with air, the product is collected by suction filtration in an ice-cooled funnel, and the residue washed with several small portions of cold water. Since it undergoes slow hydrolysis, the product should be dried in a vacuum oven. The crude product has a variable melting point (195-225°) the yield is about 20 g (approx. 75%). 

The behaviour of uranium has been well characterised for a variety of environments of importance in the nuclear industry. The corrosion is governed by the constitution and physical character of the solid reaction products which in turn are determined mainly by the oxygen potential of the environment, the temperature and the presence of water. The mechanisms of attack are known in broad outline. A major area in need of more detailed study is the influence of irradiation both prior to and during oxidation. 

Hlasta and Deng have developed a two-step solid-phase method for the decoration of azoles at C-2 [188]. First, imidazole was loaded onto a polystyrene-bound carbamyl chloride via a benzaldehyde bridge (Fig. 40). The 2-substi-tuted imidazole was efficiently cleaved in good yields in the presence of various nucleophiles (i.e., water, alcohols, and amines), trifluoroacetic acid, and boron trifluoride under microwave irradiation in a closed vessel at 120 °C for 5 min. 

In carefully dried (vacuum-baked) and sealed glass containers gaseous S2O can be kept at 20 °C and partial pressures of below 1 mbar (100 Pa) for several days but at 180 °C the decomposition to SO2 and sulfur is complete within 1 min. At higher partial pressures gaseous S2O decomposes at 20 °C to SO2 and a yellow, relatively stable solid polymeric sulfuroxide of composition S>30 (see below). This decomposition is accelerated by traces of water and by irradiation with UV radiation [18]. 

Three isomeric tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxins were studied. All were insoluble in TFMS acid. To dissolve these compounds and form cation radicals, UV irradiation was necessary. The 1,2,3,4-tetrachloro compound was particularly sensitive to UV irradiation, and as a solid, even turned pink when exposed to ordinary fluorescent light. When subjected to constant UV irradiation, radical ions were induced rapidly. The change in the cation radical concentration was monitored by the ESR signal as illustrated in Figure 10. To determine whether the tetrachloro isomer had been converted to lower chlorinated derivatives after UV irradiation, the dissolved dioxin was then poured into ice water and recovered. The GLC retention time of the recovered dioxin was unchanged in addition, no new GLC peaks were observed. Moreover, the ESR spectrum see Figure 11) for the recovered material was not altered between widely... 

Also interesting is the solid-state interaction between the water-extract-able fraction and the acetone-soluble fraction. Heating of the irradiated ferrocene at 110° C causes a sharp decrease in the water-extractable activity (from 55 to 15% in 2-3 hours). This 40% does not appear as ferrocene and is assumed to form some stable molecular species other than ferrocene.
