A quantitative analysis of the variable-temperature 1H N.M.R. spectra of acetylacetonatotrimethyl-platinum(IV) has been made. In CDCl3 solution the exchange of acetylacetonate ligands is a first-order reaction and proceeds predominantly by dissociation of the dimer into two separated five-coordinate activated complexes. The activation energy is 61.5 � 0.8 kJ mol-1.

ABSTRACTLinearized augmented plane wave (LAPW) results are presented for FeO at high pressures using the Generalized Gradient Approximation (GGA) to study the high-spin low-spin transition previously predicted by LAPW with the Local Density Approximation (LDA) and Linear Muffin Tin Orbital (LMTO-ASA) methods within the GGA. We find a first-order transition at a pressure of about 105 GPa for the cubic lattice, consistent with earlier LAPW results, but much lower than obtained with the LMTO. The results are generally consistent with recent Mössbauer experiments that show a transition at about 100 GPa. We also discuss the origin of the transition, and show that it is not due to electrostatic crystal-field effects, but is rather due to hybridization and band widening with pressure. Examination of experimental data and computations suggest that the high pressure hexagonal phase of FeO is likely a polytype between the B8 NiAs and anti-B8 AsNi structures. The former is predicted to be an antiferromagnetic metal, and the latter an antiferromagnetic insulator. Implications for geophysics are discussed.

There is a need for methods for quantitative analysis of the first-order optical character of optical systems including the eye and components of the eye.  Because of their symplectic nature ray transferences themselves are not closed under addition and multiplication by ascalar and, hence, are not amenable to conventional quantitative analysis such as the calculation of an arithmetic mean.  However transferences can be transformed into augmented Hamiltonian matrices which are amenable to such analysis.  This paper provides a general methodology and in particular shows how to calculate means and variance-covariances representing the first-order optical character of optical systems.  The systems may be astigmatic and may have decentred elements.  An accompanying paper shows application to the cornea of the human eye with allowance for thickness.

We have investigated by means of optical microscopy and magnetic measurements the first-order thermal spin transition of the [{Fe(NCSe)(py)2}2(m-bpypz)] spin-crossover compound under various shining intensities, far from the light-induced spin-state trapping region. We found evidence of photo-heating effects on the thermally-induced hysteretic response of this spin-crossover material, thus causing the shift of the thermal hysteresis to lower temperature regions. The experimental results are discussed in terms of the apparent crystal temperature and are analyzed theoretically using two evolution equations of motion, written on the high-spin (HS) fraction and heat balance between the crystal and the thermal bath. A very good qualitative agreement was found between experiment and theory in the stationary regime, explaining the experimental observations well and identifying the key factors governing these photo-thermal effects.

The exit of lactose and thiomethyl-beta-D-galactoside from Escherichia coli ML308-225 has been studied to determine the role of carrier-dependent (zero-trans efflux) and carrier-independent (leak) processes. On the basis of its sensitivity to p-chloromercuribenzene sulphonate the exit of lactose was found to be almost wholly mediated by the carrier. Consistent with this conclusion was the finding that the rate of exit of this sugar was dependent on the external pH, being considerably slower at acid pH. On the other hand exit of thiomethyl-beta-D-galactoside was found to be composed of both carrier-dependent and carrier-independent processes. Both processes exhibited first-order kinetics with the rate constants for zero-trans efflux and leak being 0.137 min-1 and 0.079 min-1, respectively. The relevance of these findings for out earlier proposal for the methods of attenuation of solute accumulation is discussed [Booth, Mitchell & Hamilton (1979) Biochem. J. 182, 687–696].

The pressure dependences of the lattice parameters of two spin transition compounds have been derived from neutron powder diffraction measurements at ambient temperature. The study of Fe(PM–AzA)2(NCS)2[PM isN-2′-pyridylmethylene and AzA is 4-(phenylazo)aniline] has been used to validate this new type of investigation of spin crossover compounds, and the study of Fe(PM–BiA)2(NCS)2(BiA is 4-aminobiphenyl) has allowed the atypical spin crossover behaviour of this compound under pressure to be explained. In addition, this complex exhibits a pressure-induced structural transition with an associated symmetry change, inducing the transformation of Fe(PM–BiA)2(NCS)2into a different polymorph that avoids a first-order spin transition in favour of continuous transition.
