Nuclear Quadrupole Resonance of Chlorine in Hexachloroplatinic(IV) Acid Hexahydrate and Sodium Hexachloroplatinate(IV) Hexahydrate

Cadmium sulfite hexahydrate revisited

The present structural revision of the title compound, tetra-cadmium tetra-sulfite hexa-hydrate, [Cd(4)(SO(3))(4)(H(2)O)(5)]·H(2)O, is a low-temperature upgrade (T = 100 K and R = 0.017) of the original room-temperature structure reported by Kiers & Vos [Cryst. Struct. Commun. (1978). 7, 399-403; T = 293 K and R = 0.080). The compound is a three-dimensional polymer with four independent cadmium...

Precipitation and Solubility of Calcium Hydrogenurate Hexahydrate

Solid phases formed in the quaternary system: uric acid-calcium hydroxide -hydrochloric acid-water aged for 2 months at 310 K were studied to determine conditions for calcium hydrogenurate hexahydrate, Ca(C5H3N4O)2 · 6H2O precipitation. The precipitates were identified by chemical and thermogravimetric analyses, x-ray powder diffraction, infrared spectroscopy, light microscopy, and scanning ele...

Nuclear Quadrupole Resonance*

A resonance phenomenon which is closely related to NMR is nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR), which was discovered in 1950 by Dehmelt and Kruger. All nuclei with a spin > 1 possess in addition to the magnetic moment, an electric quadrupole moment eQ, which measures the deviation of the distribution of the positive charge in the nucleus from spherical symmetry. While e is the elementary charge, ...

Nuclear Quadrupole Resonance Spectroscopy

Nuclear Quadrupole Resonance (paper Ii)

The Polymer Diagnostics Section (Code 6122) of the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) has expertise in solid state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR). In 1983, NRL established an interagency agreement with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to advise the FAA on NMR methods to detect explosives. We were aware of ear...
