Atomization Enthalpies And Enthalpies Of Formation Of The Germanium Clusters, Ge5, Ge6, Ge7, And Ge8 By Knudsen Effusion Mass Spectrometry, Karl A. Gingerich, R W. Schmude, M Sai Baba, Giovanni Meloni
Chemistry Faculty Publications
The high-temperature mass spectrometric method was employed to measure the equilibrium partial pressures of small germanium clusters above liquid germanium contained in a graphite Knudsen cell. These data were combined with new thermal functions, calculated from recent theoretical and spectroscopic molecular parameters, to evaluate the atomization enthalpies and enthalpies of formation of Ge[sub 5]-Ge[sub 8]. Mass spectrometric equilibrium data available in literature were also reevaluated. The following atomization enthalpies, Δ[sub a]H[sub 0][sup o](Ge[sub n],g) and enthalpies of formation Δ[sub f]H[sub 298.15][sup o](Ge[sub n],g), in kJ mol-1, have been obtained: Ge[sub 5], 1313±27 and 548±27, Ge[sub 6], 1649±33 and 583±33, Ge[sub …

The Knudsen cell mass spectrometric method has been employed to measure the partial pressures of Sn[sub n] (n=1-7) under equilibrium conditions above liquid tin or a tin-gold alloy, contained in a graphite Knudsen cell. From the all-gas analyzed equilibria the following atomization enthalpies Δ[sub a]H[sub 0][sup °](Sn[sub n]), and enthalpies of formation, Δ[sub f]H[sub 298.15][sup °](Sn[sub n]), in kJ mol-1, have been obtained: Sn[sub 4], 750.2±14 and 450.6±14; Sn[sub 5], 990.2±22 and 512.3±22; Sn[sub 6], 1349.7±28 and 452.8±28; Sn[sub 7], 1644.2±37 and 460.0±37. The atomization energies are compared with available …

Knudsen Cell Mass Spectrometric Investigation Of The B2n Molecule, Giovanni Meloni, M Sai Baba, Karl A. Gingerich
Chemistry Faculty Publications
High-temperature Knudsen cell mass spectrometry has been used to study the equilibria involving the B2Nmolecule over the Si–BN system. Thermal functions needed in the evaluation of the mass spectrometric equilibrium data have been calculated from available experimental and theoretical molecular parameters. The enthalpy changes for the reactions2B(g)+Si2N(g)=B2N(g)+2Si(g),and BN(s)+B(g)=B2N(g)have been measured. The following atomization enthalpy,ΔaHo0,and enthalpy of formation,ΔfHo298.15,in kJ mol−1, of1045.5±18 and551.3±18 for theB2N molecule have been determined from these reactionenthalpies. Atomization energies of similar molecules have been compared and discussed.

Thermodynamic Study Of The Gaseous Molecules Al2n, Aln, And Al2n2 By Knudsen Cell Mass Spectrometry, Giovanni Meloni, Karl A. Gingerich
Chemistry Faculty Publications
The Knudsen effusion mass spectrometric method has been employed to measure the equilibrium partial pressures of the Al2N molecule over the AlN–Au–graphite system. Theoretical computations were carried out to determine the structure, molecular parameters, and thermodynamic properties of Al2N. The partial pressures have been combined with the calculated thermal functions to determine the atomization enthalpy,ΔaHo0, and enthalpy of formation,ΔfHo298.15, in kJ mol−1, of 783.2±15 and 342.7±15 for Al2N, respectively. Upper values for the dissociation energy of AlN, Do0(AlN,g)⩽368±15 kJ mol−1, and for the atomization enthalpy of Al2N2, ΔaHo0(Al2N2,g)⩽1402 kJ mol−1 have been obtained. These results are discussed and …
Characterization Of Chimeric Lipopolysaccharides From Escherichia Coli Strain Jm109 Transformed With Lipooligosaccharide Synthesis Genes (Lsg) From Haemophilus Influenzae, Nancy J. Phillips, T. J. Miller, J. J. Engstrom, William Melaugh, R. Mclaughlin, M A. Apicella, B W. Gibson

Previously, we reported the expression of chimeric lipopolysaccharides (LPS) in Escherichia coli strain JM109 (a K-12 strain) transformed with plasmids containing Haemophilus influenzae lipooligosaccharide synthesis genes (lsg) (Abu Kwaik, Y., McLaughlin, R. E., Apicella, M. A., and Spinola, S. M. (1991) Mol. Microbiol. 5, 2475–2480). In this current study, we have analyzed the O-deacylated LPS and free oligosaccharides from three transformants (designated pGEMLOS-4, pGEMLOS- 5, and pGEMLOS-7) by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization, electrospray ionization, and tandem mass spectrometry techniques, along with composition and linkage analyses. These data show that the chimeric LPS consist of the complete E. coli LPS core …
