The selective preference of Chlorella pyrenoidosa for alkali metal cations was found to have the order Rb > K > > > Na. It was demonstrated that a cation of higher preference can replace in the cell cations of lower preference by an ion interchange process.The replacement of Na from the cell by K or Rb occurred against high external Na concentrations up to 450 meq/1 Na.It is suggested that the ...

Raman scattering has been employed to study the alkali-cation size dependence and the polarization characteristics of the low-frequency modes for the glass-forming tellurite mixtures, 0⋅1M2O–0⋅9TeO2 (M = Na, K, Rb and Cs). The analysis has shown that the Raman coupling coefficient alters by varying the type of the alkali cation. The addition of alkali modifier in the tellurite network leads to ...

Thermal decomposition in a thermobalance of Fe(CO), adsorbed on alkali-metal, hydrogen-Y, dealuminated Y, L and omega zeolites proceeds stepwise via slow decarbonylation at low and high temperatures, separated by a fast endothermic reaction. Average CO/Fe ratios have been determined after each step. From i.r. results the former intermediates are assigned to species bearing bridging CO, whereas ...

the complexive abilities of 5,11,17-tddert-butyl-23 amino-25.26,27,28-tet3propoxy-calix[4]arere and5,1127-tri-amino-23 acelyktert-butylamide-25,26,27,28-tetrabutoxy-calixplarene towards alkali metalions lit nat, kt ric and cs+ in methanol-chloroform mixture have been evaluated at 25 °c, using uvvis spectrophotometric techniques. the results showed that the hgands are capable to complex with all...

Alkali metal compounds have been known since antiquity. In 1807, Sir Humphry Davy surprised everyone by electrolytically preparing (and naming) potassium and sodium metals. In 1808, he noted their interaction with ammonia, which, 100 years later, was attributed to solvated electrons. After 1960, pulse radiolysis of nearly any solvent produced solvated electrons, which became one of the most stu...

alkali and alkaline earth metals hydrogen sulfate catalyzed the one-pot three component condensation reactions of aldehydes, 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds and urea or thiourea under solvent-free conditions leading to 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1h)-ones in high yields at 80 °c. our results showed that biginelli reaction not only is ph dependent, but the cation of catalyst plays an important role.

Alkali sodalites containing boron (B) as the main framework cation are scarce. A cubic lithium sodalite B in framework, Li8B6Si6O24Cl2, whose lattice parameter [7.8856(1) Å] is smallest of known alkali sodalites, has been discovered, and Li8B6Si6O24Cl2-based glass-ceramics have prepared from Li2O–B2O3–SiO2–LiCl quaternary system. The relative density resulting weight fraction Li8B6Si6O24Cl2 the...

the do1(18c6)fi (mwli. na. k and i 8c6=18-crown-6) complexes have been chosen as the model systems toinvestigate the nature of chemical bonds between alkali metal cations and large mffitidentaie orgmnic ligands.the b3lyp/6-3i+g(d,p) level of calculation has been used for obtaining equilibrium geernetnes and p(r)functions (electron density distributions). by the aid of fundamental physical theor...
