The reactions of sorbitol, mannitol, adonitol, dulcitol, glucose and glycerol with H3AsO4, H3AsO3, H3BO3 and GeO2 acids in dilute aqueous solutions were studied by potentiometric neutralization titrations. The formation of the following chelates was demonstrated: As(V)L3-, As(III)L(OH)2-, HAs(III)L(OH)2, BL2-, GeL2(OH)- and GeL32- and the equilibrium constants for their formation were found. Conditions for formation of these chelates of organic oligohydroxy compounds are discussed.

The authors investigated periodic potential changes measured on oriented sections of Al single crystals during spontaneous dissolution in dilute aqueous solutions of KOH, with the aim to find optimum conditions for the formation of potential oscillations. It was found that this phenomenon is related with the kinetics of the reaction investigated, whose rate also changed periodically. The mechanism of the oscillations is discussed in view of the experimental findings.

Double-chain amphiphilic compounds, including surfactants and lipids, have broad significance in applications like personal care and biology. A study on the phase structures and their transitions focusing on dioctadecyldimethylammonium chloride (DODAC), used inter alia in hair conditioners, is presented. The phase behaviour is dominated by two bilayer lamellar phases, Lβ and Lα, with “solid” and “melted” alkyl chains, respectively. In particular, the study is focused on the effect of additives of different polarity on the phase transitions and structures. The main techniques used for investigation were differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and small- and wide-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS and WAXS). From the WAXS reflections, the distance between the alkyl chains in the bilayers was obtained, and from SAXS, the thicknesses of the surfactant and water layers. The Lα phase was found to have a bilayer structure, generally found for most surfactants; a Lβ phase made up of bilayers with considerable chain tilting and interdigitation was also identified. Depending mainly on the polarity of the additives, their effects on the phase stabilities and structure vary. Compounds like urea have no significant effect, while fatty acids and fatty alcohols have significant effects, but which are quite different depending on the nonpolar part. In most cases, Lβ and Lα phases exist over wide composition ranges; certain additives induce transitions to other phases, which include cubic, reversed hexagonal liquid crystals and bicontinuous liquid phases. For a system containing additives, which induce a significant lowering of the Lβ–Lα transition, we identified the possibility of a triggered phase transition via dilution with water.

Phase-sensitive tensammetry is shown to be a convenient and useful way to analyse polyacrylamides and associated derivatives (pams) in dilute aqueous solutions. Standard curves were obtained with ranges varying from 9 to 25 ppm and limits of detection varying from 0.7 to 2 ppm. Ways to change the range and sensitivity are discussed and demonstrated. Typical interferences and their effects are tabulated, and the analysis of pams in coal washings is discussed. The analysis of certain mixtures of polyacrylamides is shown to be possible.


Cold neutron inelastic scattering experiments have been performed on dilute aqueous solutions of (CD 3 ) 3 COH and of solutions of (CH 3 ) 3 COH in D 2 O at 21 °C. From the broadening of the quasi-elastic peak and independently determined self-diffusion coefficients ( D ), diffusive lifetimes ( c ) of H 2 O molecules have been calculated as functions of solute concentration. The product Dc is insensitive to concentration, giving a mean diffusion step length of 0.14 nm. The inelastic portion of the spectrum, reflecting lattice-like hydrogen bonding modes indicates that the solute enhances the water ‘structure’ but that such structure bears no resemblance to ice.
