Twelve suspected former secondary lead smelting sites were investigated. Ten of the sites were confirmed to be former secondary lead smelters or lead works by historical fire insurance maps and contemporaneous metal industry trade directories. At eight sites sampled, the ratio Sb:Pb was closer to ratios from 10 known lead smelting sites than were the As:Pb and Cd:Pb ratios. Data from the 10 known lead smelting sites showed that the Sb:Pb ratio is most characteristic of secondary lead smelting sites. This is because the primary alloy smelted at such sites is antimonial lead. Lead contamination at the eight sites investigated here can be attributed At least in part to the former smelters because of the association between Sb and Pb.
When exposed to light, Characean cells develop a pattern of alternating alkaline and acid bands along the cell length. The bands were identified with a tip-sensitive antimony pH microelectrode positioned near one end of Chara internode at a distance of 50-100 microm from the cell wall. The stage with Chara cell was moved along its longitudinal axis at a computer-controlled speed (100 or 200 microm s(-1)) relative to the pH probe over a distance of 50 mm. Under sufficient uniform illumination of the cell (from 100 to 2.5 Wm(-2)), the homogeneous pH distribution becomes unstable and a banding pattern is formed, the spatial scale of which decreases with the light intensity. If the cell is locally illuminated, bands are formed only in the region of illumination. It is shown that the inhibition of cyclosis by cytochalasin B leads to the disappearance of the banding pattern. The addition of ammonium (weak base) inhibited the banding pattern, whereas acetate (weak acid) alleviated the inhibitory effect of ammonium and restored the pH banding. A model explaining the observed phenomena is formulated in terms of proton concentration outside and bicarbonate concentration inside the cell. It contains two diffusion equations for the corresponding ions with nonlinear boundary conditions determined by ion transport processes across the cell membrane. The model qualitatively explains most of the experimental observations. It describes the dependence of the pattern characteristics on the light intensity and reveals the role of cyclosis in this phenomenon.
[reaction: see text] The reaction of benzyloxyfluorodiazirine (3) with SbF(5) in benzene gives PhCH(2)OCF, which undergoes SbF(5)-mediated fragmentation to PhCH(2)(+), CO, and SbF(6)(-); the benzyl cation alkylates benzene to yield diphenylmethane. Phenoxyfluorodiazirine (4) reacts with SbF(5) in benzene to give PhOCF and (ultimately) triphenylmethane by a pathway that avoids fragmentation.
