A Bond-Cell Method for Complex Molecules and Metals (open access)

A Bond-Cell Method for Complex Molecules and Metals

This technical report introduces "some approximations into the basic quantum mechanical theory" so that the theory of the covalent bond and the molecular orbital method "can be combined into one which will yield quantitative rather than qualitative binding energies and cohesive energies and also distinct energy levels and band structure." This approach will provide a common method "suitable to both solid state physicists and physical chemists, for calculating the energy levels in metals and complex molecules." This report also contains figures detailing the findings. (Quotations taken from introduction)

Isotope Effects on Intermolecular Interactions and Isotopic Vapor Pressure Differences (open access)

Isotope Effects on Intermolecular Interactions and Isotopic Vapor Pressure Differences

From summary: "The isotope effect on the van der Waals interaction resulting from vibrational excitation terms has been discussed in great detail to show that it is a zero-point energy effect. Interaction between rotational, transistional, and vibrational motion in the condensed phase has been also discussed in detail in terms of a very simple model. By use of approximation methods, the order of magnitude of these effects is demonstrated and it is shown that consideration of them is of importance in connection with vapor pressure isotope effects. Some other origins of vapor pressure isotope effects are cursorily discussed."

Free Radicals Formed on u.V. Irradiation of o-Nitrobenzaldehyde

This technical report describes the chemistry process of photolysis which was carried out within a Varian 4500 EPR spectrometer. Through this process, it was found that free radicals form both in a powder and in solutions of o-nitrobenzaldehyde. It was found that the formation of free radicals on irradiation of substituted nitrobenzenes was specific for compounds which undergo the photoinduced rearrangement to nitrosocompounds. The report then details the process undertaken to identify the free radicals found.

The Somatic Mutation Theory of Aging: Its Application in Irradiated and Non-Irradiated Livers of Mice

From introduction: "The somatic mutation theory of aging proposes an increased frequency of somatic mutation sin tissue cells with age. The present series of experiments concern themselves with the expression of these mutations in the irradiated and non-irradiated livers of mice and their place in the aging phenomenon. In this work visible chromosome aberrations are the somatic mutations recorded as an index of genetic change."
