In the course of a study of the effects of micro-beam irradiation of a small portion of a particular cell in culture, it became necessary to devise a technic for following this cell through the processes of fixation and subsequent embedding for electron microtomy. The new procedure has proved more satisfactory for our purposes than the methods previously described by Borysko and Sapranauskas (1...

The structure of β-molybdenum dichloride is compared with that of TcCl(2) using EXAFS spectroscopy. For TcCl(2), the Tc atom is surrounded by Tc atoms at 2.13(2), 3.45(3), 3.79(4), and 4.02(4) Å. For β-MoCl(2), the Mo is surrounded by Mo atoms at 2.21(2), 2.91(3), and 3.83(4) Å. The latter distances are consistent with the presence of an [Mo(4)Cl(12)] unit in the solid state, one constituted b...

Calcium dichloride tetra urea was prepared by the reaction of calcium chloride with urea in aqueous solution. The crystals are monoclinic, a= 7.633, b= 12.45 1, c= 8.118 ?,? = 113.17, Z = 4, space group P 2,/a. The crystal structure was determined by single crystal X-ray methods and refined to R= 0.041. The calcium atoms are coordinated to four oxygen atoms of urea and to two chloride ions....

The chemistry of boron azides, first reported by E. Wiberg et al. in 1954 [1], was further investigated by P. I. Paetzold [2 4], and the field has been reviewed [5, 6]. Structural and spectroscopic data for boron dichloride azide (trimeric) [7, 8] and dimethylboron azide have been reported in the literature [9]. Quite recently, additional boron azides have been reported and structurally charact...

In the crystal structure of the title compound, [Co(C(7)H(6)N(2))(2)(H(2)O)(4)]Cl(2), the Co(II) cation lies on an inversion center and is coordinated by two 2-amino-benzonitrile ligands and four water mol-ecules in a distorted octa-hedral geometry. The Cl(-) counter-anion links with the complex cations via O-H⋯Cl and N-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonding. Inter-molecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bonding links the com...

The thermal decomposition of 2-butanol have been studied at temperatures of 1045-1221 K and pressures of 1.5-6 bar using the single pulse shock tube technique. Dilute concentrations of 2-butanol have been decomposed in the presence of large quantities of a radical inhibitor. The mechanism for decomposition involves direct elimination of water producing cis- and trans-2-butene, and 1-butene, and...
