Determination of trace amounts of POF3

Approach takes advantage of fact that phosphorous oxyfluoride (POF3) and phosphorous oxychloride (POC13) both belong to same molecular symmetry group and should have extinction coefficients that are approximately the same. Extinction coefficient of reagent-grade POC13 is measured, and this coefficient is employed to calculate POF3 concentrations.

Properties of nonaqueous electrolytes

Physical property measurements and structural studies conducted in aprotic solvents using various solutes are applicable to the further development of lithum batteries. Structural studies utilize nuclear magnetic resonance and electron paramagnetic resonance techniques.

Analytical technique characterizes all trace contaminants in water

Properly programmed combination of advanced chemical and physical analytical techniques characterize critically all trace contaminants in both the potable and waste water from the Apollo Command Module. This methodology can also be applied to the investigation of the source of water pollution.
