Single crystals of Ca7H12Cl2 and Ca2H3Br were obtained by reacting stoichiometric amounts of CaH2 and CaX2 (X = Cl, Br) at 1300 K in the presence of surplus Ca metal for 13 h in silicajacketed Nb ampoules. The crystal structures of the new compounds were determined by means of single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Ca7H12Cl2 crystallizes isotypical to Ba7Cl2F12 and Sr7H12Cl2 in the hexagonal space g...

The title compound (2) was prepared by reaction of 4-chlorocinnoline with glycidol/sodium hydride in dry DMF, since treatment of cinnolin-4-ol with epichlorohydrin as well as oxidation of 4-allyloxycinnoline did not succeed. Reaction of 2 with primary and secondary amines leads to aminoalcohols characterized by a high tendency to rearrangement and/or elimination. The obtained products were subj...

The pentacoordinate [PtH{P(OEt)3}4]BF4 (1) hydride complex was prepared by allowing the tetrakis(phosphite) Pt{P(OEt)3}4 to react with HBF4.Et2O at -80 degrees C. Depending on the nature of the acid used, however, the protonation of the related Pt{PPh(OEt)2}4 complex yielded the pentacoordinate [PtH{PPh(OEt)2}4]BF4 (3) or the tetracoordinate [PtH{PPh(OEt)2}3]Y (4) [Y = BF4- (a), CF3SO3- (b), Cl...

The first example of propylene production from 2-butene in promising yield is described by reacting trans-2-butene over tungsten hydrides precursor W-H/Al(2)O(3) at 150 °C and different pressures in a continuous flow reactor. The tungsten carbene-hydride active site operates as a "bi-functional catalyst" through the disfavoured 2-butene isomerisation on W-hydride and 2-butenes/1-butene cross-me...

A method has been developd determine selenium by hydride generation atomic absorption using nitrogen trapping technique. A series of experiments was performed to obtain the optimum condition. The results show that this method has the advantage of being sensitive, accurate, rapid and simple. Transition metal and other hydride forming elements interferences on the determination of selenium was st...

This review summarizes and discusses the analytical methods and techniques described in the literature for hydride generation as a mode of slurry sample introduction into atomization cells. A brief comparison of detection limits for analytical atomic absorption methods and practical applications to analytical samples that utilize slurry hydride generation is discussed. The current state-of-the-...

The hydride distribution in a cracked Zircaloy cladding tube has been investigated by neutron radiography, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Hydrogen measurements. The crack occurred during handling in the spent fuel pool. Back Scattered Electron images showed some unexpected contrasts in zones with high hydrogen concentrations near cracks. This phase has been studied by SEM and EPMA. Afte...
