Condensation And Sublimation Of Carbon Dioxide And Water Molecules At Cryogenic Temperatures, Victor Cazcarra Jan 1972

Condensation And Sublimation Of Carbon Dioxide And Water Molecules At Cryogenic Temperatures, Victor Cazcarra

Doctoral Dissertations

"Measurements of the condensation coefficient of CO₂ and H₂O have been made using a molecular beam and quartz crystal microbalances. The dependence of the condensation coefficient on variables such as population density on the substrate, temperature of the substrate, molecular beam intensity and temperature of the molecular beam, was investigated. The results are explained using heterogeneous nucleation theory for low density population, and a new approach for high density population is presented. The rate of sublimation of these two gases was measured directly. The results are reported in terms of vapor pressure in the range 10⁻⁹ to 10⁻⁴ Torr. The …


Selected First Row Transition Metal Coordination Compounds Of 2-(N-Aminomethyl)-3-Quinuclidinone Chelates, Richard Cecil Dickinson Jan 1972

Selected First Row Transition Metal Coordination Compounds Of 2-(N-Aminomethyl)-3-Quinuclidinone Chelates, Richard Cecil Dickinson

Doctoral Dissertations

"As part of a project directed towards elucidating the characteristics of ligands which coordinate to give complexes having tetrahedral structures, a study of chelates containing the bulky quinuclidine group has been made. With 2-(N-morpholinylmethyl)-3-quinuclidinone (MQN), complexes having the general formula M(MQN)X₂ were prepared where the metal ion was Co(II), Ni(II), Fe(II), Cu(II), and Mn(II). The ligands 2-(N-piperidinylmethyl)-3-quinuclidinone (PQN) and 2-(N-dimethylaminomethyl)-3-quinuclidinone (DQN) were prepared along with the analogous cobalt(II) chloride complexes. The series of complexes Co(MQN)X₂ where X = Cl, Br, or I were prepared, and magnetic susceptibilities and spectral data obtained. They have room temperature magnetic moments in the range …


The Utilization Of High Sensitivity Noble Gas Mass Spectrometry In The Detection Of Iodine-129 And Plutonium-244, Mervet S. Boulos Jan 1972

The Utilization Of High Sensitivity Noble Gas Mass Spectrometry In The Detection Of Iodine-129 And Plutonium-244, Mervet S. Boulos

Doctoral Dissertations

"Mass spectrometric analysis of the xenon isotopes in natural gas wells demonstrates that radioactive isotopes of element number 53 (I) and element number 94 (Pu) were present at the time of the Earth's formation. Evidence for the now extinct nuclide129I (t1/2 = 17 x 106 years) was found in CO₂ -rich gas while evidence for the now extinct 244Pu (t1/2 = 82 x 106 years) was discovered in other natural gas wells. The amounts of 129I in thyroids was measured by combining neutron activation analysis with noble gas mass spectrometry. The current …


Substituent Effects On The Magnetic Resonance Spectra Of 1, 4-Disubstituted Benzenes, Holger Er-Chah Chen Jan 1972

Substituent Effects On The Magnetic Resonance Spectra Of 1, 4-Disubstituted Benzenes, Holger Er-Chah Chen

Doctoral Dissertations

"The Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectra of five complete series of para-substituted benzenes have been investigated: the benzoic acids, benzonitriles, benzoyl chlorides, methyl benzoates and nitrobenzenes. Precise values of aromatic proton chemical shifts and coupling constants were obtained from LAOCOON3 computer analyses of the spectra. Using the relative internal chemical shift technique of Beachell and Beistel, excellent linear correlations among all five series were found. All substituents gave proton shifts which lay on the least-squares line, so it is concluded that all substituents are well behaved. Using the correlation plots the chemical shifts of the aromatic ring protons can be predicted …
