Friedel–Crafts reactions of isopropyl-substituted benzenes with phthalic anhydride in the presence of aluminium trichloride, followed by cyclization of the products with strong sulfuric acid give, as expected, anthraquinones. The syntheses, however, often afford more than one anthraquinone. In some cases the isopropyl groups migrate cleanly to other ring positions; in other cases they are lost.

The absorption and fluorescence maxima of 20 isoflavones have been determined in methanol solution and the effect of addition of water, 50% sulfuric acid, aluminium trichloride, borax, sodium acetate, ammonia and sodium hydroxide has been studied. The following findings may be useful in the structure elucidation of naturally occurring isoflavones: (a) 5-Hydroxyisoflavones have band I absorption maxima around 335 nm. 6-hydroxyisoflavones between 310 and 330 nm, and others below 310 nm. (b) Addition of water produces practically no shift in the absorption spectra, but - unlike other hydroxyisoflavones - can give distinctly longwave shifted new fluorescence bands with 7-hydroxyisoflavones. (c) Addition of sodium acetate gives rise to anion absorption of 7-hydroxyisoflavones and to partial anion absorption of 6-hydroxyisoflavones; the spectral maxima of 5-hydroxyisoflavones remain practically unchanged, (d) Ammonia gives rise to anion absorption of both 6- and 7-hydroxyisoflavones, but not of the 5-hydroxy isomers, (e) Sodium borate is a useful reagent to identify 6,7-dihydroxyisoflavones by virtue of its ability to form a chelate complex with an absorption maximum that is different from the anion absorption, (f) Aluminium trichloride forms complexes with both 5-hydroxy- and 6,7-dihydroxyisoflavones with distinct absorption maxima, (g) 5,7-D ihydroxyisoflavones may be recognized by addition of ammonia, which does not result in a longwave shift, but rather in an intensification of the longwave absorption band, (h) 6-H ydroxyisoflavones can be differentiated from the 7-hydroxy isomers by their longwave shifts (4 0-60 nm) following addition of ammonia. The respective shifts of the 7-hydroxy isomers are smaller, (i) 5-H ydroxyisoflavones are practically non-fluorescent. while others have fairly strong fluorescences, (j) The absorption and fluorescence maxima of isoflavones give unique combinations which may be useful in their identification, (k) Addition of aluminium chloride makes the non-fluorescent 5-hydroxyisoflavones fluorescent. (1) As in the case of absorption, 6,7-dihydroxyisoflavones form complexes with borate possessing fluorescence bands with maxima different from those of the anion bands

Cadmium telluride has become increasingly important in a number of technological applications, particularly in the area of laser-optical components and solid state devices, Microstructural characterizations of the material have in the past been somewhat limited because of the lack of suitable sample preparation and thinning techniques. Utilizing a modified jet thinning apparatus and a potassium dichromate-sulfuric acid thinning solution, a procedure has now been developed for obtaining thin contamination-free samples for TEM examination.

Durability of adhesive bonded joints in moisture and salt spray environments is essential to USAF aircraft. Structural bonding technology for aerospace applications has depended for many years on the preparation of aluminum surfaces by a sulfuric acid/sodium dichromate (FPL etch) treatment. Recently, specific thin film anodizing techniques, phosphoric acid, and chromic acid anodizing have been developed which not only provide good initial bond strengths but vastly improved environmental durability. These thin anodic films are in contrast to the commonly used thick anodic films such as the sulfuric acid or "hard" sulfuric acid anodic films which are highly corrosion resistant in themselves, but which do not provide good initial bond strengths, particularly in low temperature peel.The objective of this study was to determine the characteristics of anodic films on aluminum alloys that make them corrosion resistant. The chemical composition, physical morphology and structure, and mechanical properties of the thin oxide films were to be defined and correlated with the environmental stability of these surfaces in humidity and salt spray. It is anticipated that anodic film characteristics and corrosion resistance will vary with the anodizing processing conditions.
