Novel inorganic alkali and alkaline earth hydrides of the f o r m u l a MH *, MH 2 * , and MH X * wherein M is the metal, X , is a halide, and H * comprises a novel high binding energy hydride ion were synthesized in a high temperature gas cell by reaction of atomic hydrogen with a catalyst and MH , MH 2 , or MX corresponding to an alkali metal or alkaline e a r t h metal compound, respectively...

When adsorbed (at a low temperature) on alkali-metal-exchanged zeolites, CO forms both M(CO) and M(OC) carbonyl species with the extra-framework alkali-metal cation of the zeolite. Both quantum chemical and experimental results show that C-bonded adducts are characterized by a C−O stretching IR band at a frequency higher than that of 2143 cm for free CO, while for O-bonded adducts this IR band ...

We introduce a continuum approach to studying the lifetimes of monovalent metal nanowires. By modelling the thermal fluctuations of cylindrical nanowires through the use of stochastic Ginzburg-Landau classical field theories, we construct a self-consistent approach to the fluctuation-induced “necking” of nanowires. Our theory provides quantitative estimates of the lifetimes for alkali metal nan...

a simple, rapid and sensitive spectrophotometric method has been proposed for the determinationof vanadium (iv). the method is based on the catalytic effect of v (iv) on the oxidation of alkali blue bypotassium bromate at ph 4. the rate of decrease in the absorbance of alkali blue (at 572 nm) wasproportional to the concentration of v (iv) in the range of 100-6000 ng ml-1. the detection limit wa...

Infrared multiphoton dissociation (IRMPD) of alkali metal-coordinated oligosaccharides was obtained in a Fourier transform mass spectrometer. Fragmentation of the oligosaccharides was observed for Li+- and Na+-coordinated species. For larger alkali metal ions (K+, Rb+, and Cs+), the major products were the alkali metal ions. IRMPD experiments were performed on milk oligosaccharides, and the dis...

The influence of alkali-metal ions on the incorporation of labeled precursors into phospholipids and triglycerides was studied in rat liver slices. By use of acetate-l-G4 and ~a1mitate-l-C~~ as lipid precursors, a comparison was made of the pathway from acetate to phospholipid and the pathway from palmitate to phospholipid. While the rate of incorporation of palmitate-l-C1* into phospholipids a...

Hyperpolarized K-3He comagnetometers have been used for tests of fundamental physics and inertial rotation sensing. These experiments will demonstrate increased sensitivity if the 3He buffer gas is replaced with 21Ne. We measure the parameters necessary to realize implementation of an alkali-metal–21Ne comagnetometer for two promising alkali-metal species, Rb and K. The spin-exchange rate const...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of metal primers on the bonding of dental alloys and veneer resin. Polyvinylpyrrolidone solution's tarnish effect on bonding strength was also investigated. MATERIALS AND METHODS Disk-shape metal specimens (diameter 8 mm, thickness 1.5 mm) were made from 3 kinds of alloy (Co-Cr, Ti and Au-Ag-Pd alloy) and divided into 4 groups per each ...

Salt metathesis reactions of Cp(2)(NR(2))ZrX (X = Cl, I, OTf) and lithium hydrosilazides ultimately afford hydride products Cp(2)(NR(2))ZrH that suggest unusual β-hydrogen elimination processes. A likely intermediate in one of these reactions, Cp(2)Zr[N(SiHMe(2))t-Bu][N(SiHMe(2))(2)], is isolated under controlled synthetic conditions. Addition of alkali metal salts to this zirconium hydrosilazi...

Introduction: The process of mixing metals with non metals is called alloying, and the resulting mixture alloy. Alloys are composed of at least two elements, from which one must be metal. They are divided into alloys for fixed partial dentures-FPD (golden, golden-platinum, silver-palladium alloys, alloys for soldering and alloys for metal-ceramic dentures). Purpose: the main purpose is to inves...
