Abstract is included in .pdf document. \r\n\r\nA procedure for preparing and fractionating linear density gradients of bovine serum albumin is described. Reproducible buoyant density distributions of human erythrocytes in these gradients were obtained and individual fractions could be rebanded. The average buoyant density of erythrocytes from four individuals was 1.0808 [plus or minus] 0.0004 g. cm.[superscript -3]; the average density from a fifth individual was 0.0028 g. cm.[superscript -3] greater. The entire buoyant density distribution shifts with salt content; the erythrocytes behave as \"perfect\" osmometers. Salt gradients predictably spread or narrow the distribution, and may be used to increase the resolving power of the density gradient.\r\n\r\nRabbit erythrocytes pulse-labeled with Fe[superscript 59] first appear at the light edge of the distribution, and the mean progresses linearly with time through the distribution. The width of the distribution of labeled cells also increases with time.\r\n\r\nA study with the Coulter-Counter Model B of cell volumes in the buoyant density fractions showed that the mean cell volumes on the lighter side remained constant, while on the dense side the mean cell volume decreases. This decrease, if regarded as a water loss, does not quantitatively account for the increase in density.\r\n\r\nMicroscopic examination of the individual fractions of the buoyant density distribution show that the cells do not appear to be damaged by the manipulations, and that cells in the denser fractions are significantly less biconcave than the average cell. The reticulocytes concentrate in the lighter fractions, but do not clearly separate from the erythrocytes. It is proposed that the buoyant density be regarded as an index of the physiological condition of the erythrocyte. A summary discussion of the aging of the erythrocyte is given.",

The linear relationship has been used to study the distribution of nucleotide compositions among the DNA molecules isolated from a single microbial species.

The relevance of these findings to current views of the function of DNA in biological systems is discussed.\r\n\r\nII. The molecular arrangement of the conserved subunits of E. coli DNA has been investigated by examining molecular fragments of hybrid ^(13)C, ^(15)N E. coli DNA. Two extreme models for the arrangement of subunits, the side-to \u2013side model, and the end-to-end model, were considered. Predictions regarding CsCl-density-gradient distribution for fragments of hybrid DNA were developed for each model. These predictions were based on a theoretical analysis, but utilized pertinent experimental data obtained from a study of unlabelled E. coli DNA. Comparison of theory with experiment indicated that the end-to-end model is incorrect, and set an upper limit to the amount of fully labeled fragments released when hybrid DNA is sonicated.\r\n",

A method is presented for the study of the molecular weight and composition of macromolecules by observing in the ultracentrifuge their equilibrium distribution in a density gradient. The macromolecular material is centrifuged to near equilibrium in a solution of a low molecular weight solute. Under these conditions, sedimentation of the low molecular weight solute results in a continuous increase of density along the direction of the centrifugal field. The macromolecules collect in a band where their effective density is the same as that of the solution. Analysis of the shape and position of such bands yields information regarding molecular weight and composition. By this method, a deoxyribonucleic acid sample from bacteriophage is shown to be monodisperse with molecular weight [...]. Bacteriophage DNA containing 5-bromouracil instead of thymine has been prepared and found to differ considerably in effective density from normal DNA.\r\n\r\nII. The crystal structure of N,N'-dimethyl malonamide has been determined by two-dimensional methods. A type of weighted density projection has been devised which is especially suited to the refinement of projections complicated by atomic overlap. The crystal is monoclinic with space group [...]. A network of N-H...0 hydrogen bonds ties molecules into extended sheets parallel to the [...] plane. Although the configuration and dimensions found for the amide group conform quite closely to previous findings for related compounds, there is some indication of an especially large double bond character for the [...] bond.",

        "abstract": "Zunyite, a rare aluminosilicate mineral of composition (OH, F)18Al13Si5O20Cl, has an unusual structure built up of Si5O16 groups of linked silicon tetrahedra and aluminium-oxygen groups of linked octahedra. The structure proposed by Pauling is verified and refined by X-ray methods, using 163 (hkO) reflections from single-crystal photographs with Mo Ka radiation. Refinement of positional parameters is carried out by the least-squares method, with inclusion of off-diagonal terms in the normal equation matrix because of overlap of oxygen atoms in the (100) projection. Refinement of isotropic temperature parameters for separate atoms is carried out with the use of difference syntheses, by methods differing somewhat from published ones. A general discussion of isotropic temperature factor refinement from differerence syntheses is given. One stage of least-squares refinement using 410 (hhl) reflections is carried out, for comparison with the (hkO) refinement. The corresponding accuracy of interatomic distances is \u00b1 0.02 A. A large apparent temperature factor discrepancy between the two refinements is attributed to a deviation in the contrast of one of the X-ray photographs. The refined structure differs from the trial structure in distortion of coordination polyhedra, as found in other similar structures. The arrangement of protons in the structure is proposed from structural arguments, and the proposed arrangement requires the inclusion of at least two fluorine atoms per stoichiometric molecule.",

The configuration of the formal of [...]-2,3-butanediol has been established unequivocally by reactions of the diol under basic conditions with methylene iodide, methylene chloride, and chloromethyl acetate. The products are optically active, are alike, and are the same as the one obtained in the acid-catalyzed reaction of the glycol with formaldehyde.\r\n\r\nII. The coloration of sodium chloride by white x-radiation has been separated into two distinct types. The intense color at the surface involves the creation of new anionic vacancies by longwave radiation; aggregate color centers result from optical or thermal bleaching. The less intense coloration throughout the crystal is due to the short-wave radiation; no new vacancies are created and no secondary coloration occurs. Plastic deformation does not affect the overall colorability but greatly enhances the secondary coloration effects. Tentative mechanisms for these processes are discussed.\r\n\r\nStudies of the secondary radiative coloration, the so-called colloidal band in additively colored crystals, and the color of blue rocksalt have led to the suggestion that these color centers are members of a continuous series of F center aggregates. The possibility of a true colloidal dispersion in additively colored sodium chloride has been investigated by comparison of these crystals with sodium chloride, known to contain colloidal copper.\r\n\r\nCrystals of sodium chloride have been grown containing heavy metal ion impurities. Spectrophotometric studies have been made of these crystals before and after radiative and additive coloration. The ultraviolet absorption bands in the uncolored crystals have been tentatively explained in terms of V centers. X-radiation and bleaching destroys some of the absorption bands and creates others.\r\n\r\nIII. An investigation of the strontium-zinc system, using x-ray diffraction techniques, has revealed four intermetallic phases.  The compound SrZn13, previously reported elsewhere, has been confirmed with respect to composition and symmetry. The second phase, SrZn5, contains 24 atoms in its unit cell, is orthorhombic, and has been tentatively assigned the symmetry Pmnb. The third phase, SrZn2, is also orthorhombic, and has 12 atoms in a body centered unit cell. No single crystals of the fourth phase have been isolated, but the composition has been shown to correspond approximately to Sr3Zn2 or Sr4Zn3.\r\n\r\nThe structure of the [...] phase has been worked out in detail. It has the space group [...]-Imma, and corresponds to an orthorhombic distortion of the hexagonal magnesium boride structure.",

The structure of tetraborane has been found and approximate values for the parameters are given.  A possible model for unstable pentaborane has been found. A magnesium boride, MgB[subscript 2], has been prepared and shown to be isomorphous with AlB[subscript 2]. A beryllium boride of approximate composition Be[subscript 2]B has been prepared in impure form and shown to have a structure similar to CaF[subscript 2]. An unsuccessful attempt has been made to prepare the copper boride Cu[subscript3]B[subscript 2] that is reported in the literature.\r\n\r\nSection II contains a description of some other electron diffraction and X-ray diffraction investigations. The interatomic distances and bond angle in formyl fluoride have been determined. A partially successful study has been made of ozone. A reinvestigation of copper silicide has removed the major portion of an unpleasant random feature of the previous structure. A method has been devised for simplifying the calculation of theoretical intensity curves containing temperature factored terms.",

The \r\nlattice-spacing-composition curve disagrees with that previously constructed \r\nby Olander on the basis of his fewer determinations. \r\nThe new curve indicated that ordered phases PbTl_3 and PbTlTl_6 \r\nprobably occur.\r\n\r\nPart II: The Investigation of the Crystal Structure of the Complex\r\n    of Hexamethylenetetramine with Manganous Chloride.\r\n    Suitable crystals of the complex of hexamethylenetetramine \r\nwith manganous chloride were grown in a 1:1 mixture of alcohol \r\nand acetone. By chemical analysis the composition was shown\r\nto correspond to the formula, 2(CH_2)6N_4\u2022MnCl_2\u20222H_20.

A\r\nfew weak reflections indicate that the a_1 axis should be doubled, \r\nbut no account was taken of this in the present determination.\r\n\r\n    A trial structure derived from steric considerations and the \r\nintensities of reflections h00 led to a satisfactory interpretation \r\nof the Patterson distribution function. The approximate structure based \r\non the Patterson syntheses was confirmed by the Fourier projections \r\n\u03c1(x) and  \u03c1(y,x), and by calculation of structure factors for reflections \r\nh00 and Ok\u2113.\r\n\r\n    The structure has the following important features. A manganese \r\natom lies on the common three-fold axis of two hexamethylenetetramine \r\nmolecules at the center of symmetry of a complex molecule, and the Mn-Cl \r\nbonds are approximately perpendicular to the Mn-N bonds. Both the Patterson \r\nsyntheses andthe Fourier projections indicate that two molecules of \r\nwater are present in each complex molecule, and the Mn-O bonds are \r\napproximately normal to the plane of the Mn-Cl and Mn-N bonds.\r\n",

        "abstract": "<p>Part I. The Adsorption of Capillary-Active Materials at the Dropping Mercury Electrode</p>\r\n\r\n<p>It has been found that the addition of a capillary-active substance to a solution which is to be analyzed at the dropping mercury electrode brings about a decrease in the diffusion current which passes as a result of the discharge of the reducible ion. Molecules of the capillary-active compound, adsorbed on the surface of the growing drop, appear to deactivate a portion of this electrode surface. As a result, some of the reducible ions or molecules which reach the electrode vicinity by diffusion do not actually reach the electrode surface, and the current which passes as a result of the reduction is consequently decreased. As the concentration of capillary-active material is increased, the diffusion current decreases to a limiting value which is apparently dependent upon the amount of surface still left free on the electrode after a monomolecular layer of material has been adsorbed. Experimental verification and theoretical consequences of the foregoing are described in Part I of this thesis.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Part II. The Polarographic Analysis of Nitrite and of Nitrite-Nitrate Mixtures</p>\r\n\r\n<p>It has been found that a solution containing both nitrate and nitrite ions can be analyzed for both constituents in two polarographic experiments. With one aliquot part, the diffusion current due to the two constituents in the original solution is measured. In another aliquot part, the nitrite present is quantitatively oxidized to nitrate, and the diffusion current of the resulting solution is measured as before. The two experiments provide sufficient data for determining the quantity of each ion in the solution. The oxidation of nitrite is conveniently carried out with hydrogen peroxide in acid solution and the excess peroxide is destroyed catalytically by manganese dioxide in basic solution.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Part III. An Electron Diffraction Investigation of the Structure of Some Organic Molecules</p>\r\n\r\n<p>a) Some Cyclic Derivatives of Ethylene Glycol</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The results of an electron diffraction investigation of some cyclic derivatives of ethylene glycol (chlorophosphite ester, sulfite ester, and acetal) confirm the configuration assigned by the organic\r\nchemist to these molecules. Non-planarity of the five-membered ring may be demonstrated only in the chlorophosphite ester, in which also there is found an abnormally long phosphorus-to-chlorine bond distance and a subnormally short phosphorus-to-oxygen bond distance. The covalent bond distances in the other molecules were shown to be normal but no conclusion could be drawn concerning the planarity or nonplanarity of the ring systems.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>b) Naphthalene and Anthracene</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In an electron diffraction investigation of naphthalene, the average carbon-to-carbon bond distance has been found to be 1.39<sub>7</sub> \u00b1 0.02 \u00c5. The limits of error cannot be narrowed sufficiently to permit a definite choice to be made among the theoretical models proposed by various workers, but the configuration suggested by Penney and Coulson appears to be in best agreement with the observations.</p> \r\n\r\n<p>In anthracene, the mean carbon-to-carbon bond distance has been found to be 1.41<sub>9</sub> \u00b1 0.02 \u00c5. Although no statement of the limits of error for the individual distances could be made, it was concluded that the best model in the region investigated is different than that proposed by Robertson, in which the atoms lie at the corners of regular hexagons.</p>",

        "abstract": "The red blood cells of individuals who have either sickle cell anemia or sicklemia possess the capacity to undergo reversible changes in shape in response to changes in the partial pressure of oxygen. When the oxygen pressure is lowered, these cells change their forms from the normal biconcave disk to crescent, holly wreath, and other forms. This process, known as sickling, occurs more readily in sickle cell anemia than in sicklemia. The evidence available at the time this investigation was begun indicated that the process of sickling might be intimately associated with the state and nature of the hemoglobin in the sickle cell erythrocyte. Electrophoretic investigations revealed a difference in net charge between the hemoglobins of normal individuals and sickle cell anemia individuals. The hemoglobin from the erythrocytes of sicklemic individuals was found to consist of two electrophoretic components, identifiable with sickle cell anemia hemoglobin and normal hemoglobin. The globins derived from these hemoglobins cannot be distinguished from each other on the basis of electrophoretic experiments. Titration studies on these hemoglobins failed to reveal any significant differences in number and type of ionizable groups. A rapid chemical method was developed for producing sickle cells by the use of sodium dithionite.",

By this means the diamagnetic anisotropy of iodoform, arsenic triiodide and potassium chloroplatinite were measured. The results obtained with the last named compound indicated the presence of ferromagnetic impurities. A table of the diamagnetic anisotropy of organic compounds measured to January 1948 has been compiled.</p>",

However, a number of other properties were examined as a preliminary basis for this work.  These experiments were also of value in demonstrating the similarity of the hemocyanin used to the other hemocyanins and hence of the applicability of the magnetic work to these other proteins.  As the hemocyanins are a class of proteins well adapted to studies from a comparative point of view, these results are of interest in themselves as the animal used was of a group not yet investigated.  In order to increase the facility with which these comparative deductions are made I have devoted some space to results on other hemocyanins.\r\n\r\nAs no review of the hemocyanins has appeared for eight years, and much important work has been done meanwhile, I have felt justified in including some of the results of the recent work that bear on the final interpretation of the magnetic experiments.\r\n\r\nThe animal chosen for use was the giant key-hole limpet, Megathura crenulata, a Streptoneuran of the class Gasteropoda, found on the rocks in several places along the Pacific coast.\r\n\r\nFor the convenience of those who are not acquainted with all of the species mentioned I have included a table of common names at the end of the paper.",

        "abstract": "[Summary]\r\n\r\n<p>The electron-diffraction investigation of formaldehyde, glyoxal, dimethylgloxal, oxalyl chloride, and vinyl ether has shown that the conjugating power of two carbon-oxygen double bonds is of the same magnitude as the conjugating power of two carbon-carbon double bonds. The criterion for the magnitude of the conjugating power is the decrease in the carbon-carbon single bond distance. The carbon-carbon single bond distance in glyoxal and dimethylgloxal is 1.47\u00c5 (lg), and the carbon-carbon single bond distance in butadiene and cyclopentadiene is 1.46\u00c5 (lh). These distances are the same within the experimental error of the determination.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The investigation of formaldehyde (li) gave a reliable value of the carbon-oxygen double bond distance of 1.21\u00c5.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In oxalyl chloride the carbon-carbon bond distance is only 1.50\u00c5 instead of 1.47\u00c5 as in glyoxal and dimethylgloxal (lg). The carbon-chlorine bond distance in the. same molecule is 1.72\u00c5, a shortening of of 0.04\u00c5. The value of 1.50\u00c5 may be explained by the competition of a free electron pair on the chlorine atom with the carbon-carbon single bond for the carbon-oxygen double bond.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In vinyl ether a bond shortening of only 0.02\u00c5 in each bond or 0.04\u00c5 total shortening is reported. The shortening may be summed in this molecule as the heat of hydrogenation data(10) show that the amount of resonance in vinyl ether is the same as in ethyl vinyl ether. The shortening is due to the resonance between a tree electron pair on the oxygen atom and the two carbon-carbon double bonds. This  shortening is less than that shown by the chloroethylenes(3) but the difference in electronegativity of chlorine and oxygen may well explain this fact.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The molecules glyoxal, dimethylgloxal, oxalyl chloride and vinyl ether are all found to be coplanar and trans with the exception of oxalyl chloride in which the (COCl) groups are rotated 17\u00b0 from the trans position. The potential barrier restricting rotation in the first three molecules was found to be greater than five kcals. and it is indicated that the potential curve for oxalyl chloride will show a double minimum. No estimate was made at the potential barrier in vinyl ether.</p>",

By using variation functions which take into consideration the \r\ninstantaneous interaction of the electrons, momentum distribution functions\r\nand intensity distributions in the Compton line are computed for helium\r\nand molecular hydrogen, neglecting small relativity and binding corrections.\r\nThe half-value breadths are expressed in terms of 1/2 \u03bb* where 1\r\nis the wave-length displacement from the center of the shifted line\r\nand 2\u03bb* = (\u03bb<sub>1</sub><sup>2</sup> + \u03bb<sub>c</sub><sup>2</sup> - 2\u03bb,\u03bb<sub>c</sub> cooX)<sup>1/2</sup> \u03bb<sub>1</sub> and \u03bb<sub>c</sub> are the primary and scattered wave-lengths and X the scattering angle.\r\nThe absolute breadth of the line may therefore be computed for any \u03bb<sub>1</sub> and X. For \r\nhelium and molecular hydrogen the values of 1/2 \u03bb* at half-maximum are 10.8\r\nand 8.5, respectively.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>B. This thesis is a review of the quantum mechanical methods which\r\nhave been used to compute the dissociation energies and interatomic \r\ndistances of homonuclear diatomic molecules in the ground state. In comparing\r\nthe different methods three qualifications for a successful type of\r\ntreatment are emphasized. First, it must be of as general applicability\r\nas possible. Second, the inherent uncertainty attending its application\r\nshould either be small or of known order of magnitude. Finally,\r\nit should provide a simple and general physical picture of bond formation.\r\nThese three qualifications are discussed in some detail for H<sub>2</sub><sup>+</sup> up to Li<sub>2</sub>.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>New calculations for the lithium molecule and for the beryllium\r\nmolecule-ion, Be<sub>2</sub><sup>++</sup>, are described. In particular a comparison is made\r\nbetween the permissible types of hybridization treatment for Li<sub>2</sub>\r\nand Li<sub>2</sub><sup>+</sup>. It is concluded that the complete hybridization of the atomic\r\norbitals in Li<sub>2</sub> is not possible when the K electrons are neglected.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In a section on numerical methods certain improvements in the \r\ntechnique of evaluating some of the two electron integrals are described.\r\nThe different procedures used in solving secular equations are compared\r\nwith regard to their accuracy, generality of application, and their amenableness\r\nto machine computation. It is shown how the Duncan-Collar-Aitken\r\ntechnique may be extended so that it conforms perfectly to the demands of \r\nquantum mechanical calculations.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The problem discussed in this part of the thesis was suggested\r\nby Professor Linus Pauling, to whom I am also greatly indebted for\r\nadvice and guidance during the course of the work. To Dr. Sidney\r\nWeinbaum I owe my best thanks for his calculation of the numerical\r\nvalues of most of the integrals.</p>",

Original work includes computations on helium, lithium, and beryllium, together with iso-electronic ions. The Thomas-Fermi statistical atom, the Hartree method of the self-consistent field, Pauling's and Slater's sets of screening constants, and the variation principle are discussed and estimates of their applicability made, Hydrogen, helium, lithium, and beryllium are individually treated and tables showing the results of many investigators included. In the case of lithium the new results give an ionization potential in very close agreement with experiment while the new work on beryllium is a slight but not satisfactory improvement over previous results. The Appendix lists tables of integrals used in the computations.\r\n",
