The Computerized Brain Tomograms of 24 Patients with Developmental Dyslexia Were Analyzed for Cerebral Asymmetry. Ten Patients Showed a Reversal of the Pattern of Asymmetry Regularly Observed in Normal Right-Handed Individuals So that the Right Parietooccipital Region Was Wider Than the Left. the Ten Dyslexic Patients with This Reversal of Cerebral Asymmetry Had a Lower Mean Verbal IQ Than the Other 14 Dyslexic Patients in This Study. the Reversal of Cerebral Asymmetry that Occurred in Ten of the Dyslexic Patients May Result in Language Lateralization to a Cerebral Hemisphere that is Structurally Less Suited to Support Language Function and Thus …


High Spin-Low Spin Crossover And Antiferromagnetic Interactions In Tris(1-Pyrrolidinecarbodithioato)Iron(Iii) And The 4-Morpholine (Fem) And Dibutyl Analogs, Effect Of Recrystallization Solvent, And Crystal Structure Of Fem·Nitrobenzene, Edward J.

High sensitivity magnetic susceptibility determinations, especially in the range 1.2-4.2 K on pure and dilute tris(pyrrolidinecarbodithioato)iron(III) (FeP) in its high spin form, show that a maximum at about 2 K is caused by antiferromagnetic interactions. The analogous chromium(III) complex does not exhibit significant antiferromagnetism compared to that of the iron complex, and it is likely that the upper e electrons possessed by the iron and not by the chromium are responsible for the bulk of the antiferromagnetism. As the iron atoms are about 9 Å apart in discrete molecules, the antiferromagnetic interactions presumably occur between unpaired spins delocalized on to …


Metal-Ion Oxidative Decarboxylations. 10. Substituent Effects In The Cerium(Iv)-Benzilic Acids Reaction, Samir B. Hanna, Sezai A. Sarac Jun 1977

Metal-Ion Oxidative Decarboxylations. 10. Substituent Effects In The Cerium(Iv)-Benzilic Acids Reaction, Samir B. Hanna, Sezai A. Sarac

Chemistry Faculty Research & Creative Works

The rates of oxidation by cerium (IV) of several substituted benzylic acids (unsubstituted, 2,2′-dichloro, 4,4′-dichloro, 4,4′-dimethyl, 4,4′-dimethoxy, and 4,4′-dinitro) to the corresponding benzophenones have been studied spectrophotometrically in aqueous H2SO4, aqueous HClO4-HOAc, and acetonitrile. The rates are much slower in H2SO4 than in the other two media, probably because of heavy sulfato complexation of cerium(IV). The px as of the various acids were determined potentiometrically. The Hammett p values in acetonitrile and HClO4-HOAc media, derived from correlations with several sets of σ constants and with the newly determined pK …

Metal-Ion Oxidative Decarboxylations. 9. Reaction Of Benzilic Acid With Cerium(Iv) In Acidic Perchlorate And Sulfate Media, Samir B. Hanna, Sezai A. Sarac

Chemistry Faculty Research & Creative Works

The kinetics of oxidation of benzylic acid (HLH) to benzophenone by cerium (IV) has been studied in several media using the stopped-flow technique. In HClO4-Na2SO4-NaClO4 media, which allow for the variation and control of the concentrations of the various Ce(IV) species at constant [H+] and ionic strength, the rate data suggest CeSO42+ as the kinetically relevant species. In HClO4 the observed first-order rate constants, tetrad, first increase with increasing HLH concentration, then decrease slightly at higher substrate concentrations suggesting the intermediacy of two complexes: a reactive [Ce(IV)HL] and …

Proton Shift Additivity And Substituent Interaction Parameters, Donald W. Beistel, Gary Chappell, W. Daniel Edwards Jan 1977

Proton Shift Additivity And Substituent Interaction Parameters, Donald W. Beistel, Gary Chappell, W. Daniel Edwards

Chemistry Faculty Research & Creative Works

The 4-substituted acetophenone family is characterized and its shifts are correlated with those of nine families of 1, 4-disubstituted benzenes reported previously. Then a simple mathematical model is derived to account for the proton magnetic resonance shifts within families of 1, 4-disubstituted benzenes. The model suggests that the substituents interact by σ-bond polarization. The polarization model rationalizes shift additivity and is consistent with the qualitative relationship between the number of valence electrons on a substituent and its capacity to induce shifts. © 1977, American Chemical Society.

Inelastic Cross Sections For Molecules Interacting Through Dipole And/Or Quadrupole Potentials, Louis Biolsi Jr. Oct 1976

Inelastic Cross Sections For Molecules Interacting Through Dipole And/Or Quadrupole Potentials, Louis Biolsi Jr.

Chemistry Faculty Research & Creative Works

Formal expressions for the lowest order inelastic contribution to the degeneracy averaged total cross section for both distinguishable and indistinguishable rigid diatomic molecules are obtained for molecules interacting through a multiple potential. Explicit expressions for the inleastic cross section are obtained for molecules interacting through permanent dipole-dipole, dipole-quadrupole, or quadrupole-quadrupole potentials. These results require the summation over only a single quantum number; the relative angular momentum quantum number. Thus, they are useful for analytic or numerical calculations.


Effect Of Angular Momentum On The Relaxation Time In A Multicomponent Gas Mixture, Louis Biolsi Jr. May 1976

Effect Of Angular Momentum On The Relaxation Time In A Multicomponent Gas Mixture, Louis Biolsi Jr.

The Internal Chemical Shift - A Key To Bonding In Aromatic Molecules. 2. Substituent Effects On The Carbon-13 Magnetic Resonance Spectra Of The 1,4-Disubstituted Benzenes, Donald W. Beistel, W. Dan Edwards Jan 1976

The Internal Chemical Shift - A Key To Bonding In Aromatic Molecules. 2. Substituent Effects On The Carbon-13 Magnetic Resonance Spectra Of The 1,4-Disubstituted Benzenes, Donald W. Beistel, W. Dan Edwards

Chemistry Faculty Research & Creative Works

Carbon-13 magnetic resonance shifts were determined for six families of 1,4-disubstituted benzenes. Linear least-squares correlations between the internal shifts of the families suggest an additivity relationship for 13C substituent effects at all four nonidentical ring carbons and at the α position when one of the substituents has a central carbon. The correlation of 1H and 13C shifts for these compounds is also linear, implying that the additivity relationships derived in a previous 1H study can be generalized to 13C.

Locating The St. Louis Urban Plume At 80 And 120 Km And Some Of Its Characteristics, J. F. Stampfer, J. A. Anderson

Chemistry Faculty Research & Creative Works

The feasibility of locating the urban plume of a moderately large urban area, as far as 120 km downwind, is shown. The method utilizes a single engine aircraft and aerosol instrumentation. A summary of the data obtained from 34 flights, during an 8-month period, is presented and the problems involved in interpreting the data are discussed. These difficulties include nonuniform background levels outside the plume, changing relative humidity, low wind speeds and stable atmospheric layers. The plume was characterized by concentrations of small particles (0.15 < r < 0.3 μm) ca. 1.5 times that in background air and concentrations of large particles (0.3 < r < 1.3 μm) usually greater than twice that in the background. The ratio of the concentrations of small particles to large particles in the plume was about one-half of that in the background. © 1975.


Restrictions On The Potential And Cross Section For Collisions Between Rigid Rotors, Louis Biolsi Jr. Sep 1974

Restrictions On The Potential And Cross Section For Collisions Between Rigid Rotors, Louis Biolsi Jr.

Chemistry Faculty Research & Creative Works

A restricted distorted-wave treatment of the total cross section when two rigid diatomic molecules with orbital and nuclear spin angular momenta collide is examined. There are certain restrictions on the intermolecular potential and on the possible combinations of the various quantum numbers. These restictions are examined for the lowest order nonspherical elastic and the lowest order inelastic contributions to the total cross section. The effects of degeneracy averaging and of collisions between indistinguishable molecules are also briefly examined.

The Internal Chemical Shift. A Key To Bonding In Aromatic Molecules. I. Internal Shift Correlations, Donald W. Beistel, Holger E. Chen, P. J. Fryatt

Chemistry Faculty Research & Creative Works

The study of proton shift behavior in nine families of disubstituted benzenes has provided quantitative correlations of internal and meta shifts among all families. The equations of correlation are useful in the prediction of shifts to an error of 0.015 ppm. The studies demonstrate shift additivity for the 4-substituted halobenzenes and suggest a chain rule relationship for substituent effects in those compounds. For that reason, previous theories of substituent interactions involving inductive and resonance contributors appear incorrect when applied to proton shift data. In decreasing order of up field shift at the ortho protons the substituents studied include N(CH3)2, NH2, …


Radiative And Predissociative Lifetimes Of The A ²Σ+ State Of Oh, Richard Orlin Sutherland, Richard A. Anderson Feb 1973

Radiative And Predissociative Lifetimes Of The A ²Σ+ State Of Oh, Richard Orlin Sutherland, Richard A. Anderson

Chemistry Faculty Research & Creative Works

Lifetime measurements have been made on the A 2Σ+ state of OH by the delayed coincidence technique in conjunction with an interrupted rf discharge through water vapor. Lifetimes are reported for rotational states up to K=29 and K=20 in the ν=0 and ν=1 vibrational levels, respectively, and on the unresolved levels of ν=2. A predissociation, previously predicted from relative intensity measurements, resulting from a curve crossing by the repulsive 4Σ− state, was observed for the rotational states above K=23 of ν=0, for those above K=14 of ν=1, and for all those of ν=2. These lifetime data are discussed qualitatively in …

Pmr Spectra Of The 4-Alkylnitrobenzenes, Donald W. Beistel, Hsin-Liang Chen

Chemistry Faculty Research & Creative Works

Evidence of first-order alkyl-ring proton coupling is reported for the 4-alkylnitrobenzenes. Typical coupling constants of 0.7 Hz and 0.3 Hz were found for α-alkyl coupling with the ortho and meta ring protons, respectively, when the alkyl function was methyl, ethyl, and isopropyl. No β-alkyl coupling with ring protons was observed for the ethyl, isopropyl, or t -butyl groups, suggesting that the magnitude of the coupling constant is vanishingly small.

Distribution Of Mass And Charge In The Spontaneous Fission Of ²⁴⁴Cm, K. F. Flynn, B. Srinivasan, Oliver Manuel, Lawrence Elgin Glendenin

Chemistry Faculty Research & Creative Works

The distribution of mass and charge in the spontaneous fission of 244Cm has been investigated by radiochemical and mass spectrometric determination of the fission yields for 40 mass chains and 2 shielded nuclides (independent yields). The mass distribution is highly asymmetric with a relative probability of asymmetric-to-symmetric fission (peak-to-valley ratio) of greater than 5700. The average masses of the light and heavy groups are 103.1 and 138.7, respectively. The characteristics of the mass distribution, as well as the division of nuclear charge indicated by the independent yields of the two shielded nuclides, are consistent with the systematics established from …

An aircraft sampling program to determine the vertical and size distributions of that part of the atmospheric aerosol with radius greater than 0.25 μ is described. The feasibility of using a single engine aircraft and a light scattering particle analyzer, for this work, is shown. Examples of the data are given and preliminary conclusions are drawn about the normal size distribution, effect of lapse rate on the vertical aerosol concentration gradient, effect of relative humidity on the size distribution, and the possibility of producing high concentrations of giant particles aloft. © 1972.
