(Received 17 September 2002)
The principles of linear free energy relationships were applied to the 13C substituent chemical shifts (SCS) of the carbon atoms in the unsaturated chain of 3-methylene-4-substituted-1,4-pentadienes. Correlations of the SCS with the substituent parameters of Swain and Lupton provide a mutually consistent picture of the electronic effects in these compounds. The pattern of the electronic effects can be fully rationalized by a model based on the direct transmission of substituent effects through-space (direct through-space field effects), and via conjugative interactions (resonance effects), or by substituent-induced polarization of the p-system in the unsaturated chain (p-polarization effect). Semi-empirical MNDO-PM3 calculations suggest the s-cis conformation of 3-methylene-4-substituted-1,4- -pentadienes as the one with minimal heat of formation.

Keywords: [3]dendralenes, unsaturated chain carbon 13C SCS, substituent effects, reverse 13C SCS effect, MNDO-PM3 calculations.

(Received 5 August, revised 8 November 2002)
In this work, all the rate constants in the kinetic mechanism of the yeast alcohol dehydrogenase-catalyzed oxidation of ethanol by NAD+, at pH 7.0, 25°C, have been estimated. The determination of the individual rate constants was achieved by fitting the reaction progress curves to the experimental data, using the procedures of the FITSIM and KINSIM software package of Carl Frieden. This work is the first report in the literature showing the internal equilibrium constants for the isomerization of the enzyme-NAD+ complex in yeast alcohol dehydrogenase-catalyzed reactions.

Keywords: yeast alcohol dehydrogenase, kinetic mechanism of action.

(Received 12 February, revised 9 September 2002)
The synthesis and characterization of benzene- and p-toluenesulphonylhydrazones derived from salicylaldehyde and 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde and their Cu(II) complexes are reported. The compounds were characterized on the basis of elemental analyses, electronic and IR spectra, magnetic moments, and conductance measurements. The electrochemical behavior of the Cu(II) complexes was investigated in DMSO by cyclic voltammetry (CV), rotating disc electrode (RDE) and coulometry. The oxidative polymerization of the copper complexes on a glassy carbon electrode was carried out in DMSO.

Keywords: sulphonylhydrazone-Cu(II) complex, cyclic voltammetry.

Thermochemical equilibrium calculations of high-temperature O2 generation on the early Earth: Giant asteroid impacts on land

(Received 29 October, revised 17 November 2002)
Earth’s atmosphere is composed primarily of N2 and O2. The origin of free O2 in the early Earth’s atmosphere is still subject of considerable debate.1 Theoretical models suggest that the initial form of free O2 in the atmosphere has been oceanic H2O. Recent computation modelling has suggested that a superheated (ca. 2000 K) H2O vapor atmosphere of 1.4x1021 kg (the present mass of the oceans) lasting for about 3000 y could probably have been formed on Earth by an enormous (ca. 1028 J) asteroid impact. In this report, the occurrence of the thermochemical dissociation of the vapor, creating a primitive oxygenic (ca. 0.1 of the present level (PAL) of free O2) atmosphere.

Keywords: oxygen, atmosphere, thermochemistry, photochemistry, Earth, asteroid, impact.

(Received 26 June 2002)
The effect of the ethanol load on the discharge and analytical parameters of an argon stabilised U-shaped DC arc has been recorded. Measurements of the radial distribution of the apparent temperatures and the electron number density of the DC plasma showed that ethanol addition causes a decrease in both plasma parameters. The changes in the plasma characteristics, as well as in transport and atomisation processes of the analyte cause a general change in the spectral line intensities, which depends on the physical characteristics of the analyte and the quantity of ethanol loaded into the plasma. Improved detection limits were obtained for V and Mn when a 10 % (v/v) water–ethanol solution was nebulized into the plasma.

Keywords: U-shaped DC arc, emission spectroscopy, ethanol addition, radial temperature distribution, electron number density distribution, equilibrium plasma composition, detection limits.

Temperature effect on graphite KS44 lithiation in ethylene carbonate + propylene carbonate solution: galvanostatic and impedance study

*The Military Technical Institute of the Yugoslav Army, Katani}eva 15, Belgrade, Yugoslavia

(Received 18 August, revised 23 October 2002)
Graphite Lonza KS44 in a solution 1 M LiClO4 in a propoylene carbonate + ethylene carbonate (1 M:1 M) mixture was lithiated and delithiated galvanostatically at room temperature and at the elevated temperature of 55°C. Voltage–time profiles and complex impedance diagrams were recorded and are discussed for this particular system. It was confirmed that this type of graphite shows a relatively small current loss consumed by exfoliation, if lithiated at room temperature. However, the voltage–time curve of the first charging at 55°C shows a long voltage plateau at 0.7 V vs. Li/Li+, which corresponds to 540 mAh g-1 of irreversible capacity attributed to exfoliation. The solid electrolyte layer formed at elevated temperature, although less protecting in the sense of electrolyte reduction, shows a remarkably higher electrical resistance than that formed at room temperature. A comparison of the impedance diagrams of lithiated and delithiated samples allows the conclusion that mass transfer through the graphite, not that through the solid electrolyte layer, plays a dominant role in the mass transfer limitations.

Keywords: graphite, lithiation, reversible capacity, galvanostatic charging, solid electrolyte layer.

(Received 26 August, revised 23 October 2002)
A new catalytic reaction is proposed and a kinetic method developed for the determination of ultramicro amounts of As(III) on the basis of its catalytic activity in the oxidation of ethylenediamine-N,N’-diacetic-N,N’ dipropionic acid (EAP) by KMnO4 in the presence of hydrochloric acid. Under optimal conditions, the sensivity of the method is 20 ng/cm3. The probable relative error is 7.6 – 14.5 % for the concentration range 50 – 200 ng/cm3 As(III). The effect of certain foreign ions upon the reaction rate were determined for the assessment of the selectivity of the method. The method has relatively good selectivity. Kinetic equations were proposed for the investigated process.

Keywords: kinetic method, As(III) determination, ethylenediamine-N,N’-diacetic-N,N’-dipropionic acid.

Institute for Nuclear Sciences “Vinca”, P. O. Box 522, YU-11001 Belgrade and
*Faculty of Mining and Geology University of Belgrade, Djusina 7, YU-11000 Belgrade, Yugoslavia

(Received 18 July, revised 18 October 2002)
A model for the combustion of porous char particles as a basis for modeling the process of sulfur retention by ash during coal combustion is developed in this paper. The model belongs to the microscopic intrinsic models and describes the dynamic behavior of a porous char particle during comustion, taking into account temporal and spatial changes of all important physical properties of the char particle and various combustion parameters. The parametric analysis of the enhanced model shows that the model represents a good basis for the development of a model for the process of sulfur retention by ash during coal combustion. The model enables the prediction of the values of all parameters necessary for the introduction of reactions between sulfur compounds and mineral components in ash, primarily calcium oxide.

Keywords: dynamic model, char combustion, sulfur retention by ash.
