T1 - Vectorial near-field coupling N2 - The coherent exchange of optical near fields between two neighbouring dipoles plays an essential role in the optical properties, quantum dynamics and thus the function of many naturally occurring and artificial nanosystems. These interactions are challenging to quantify experimentally. They extend over only a few nanometres and depend sensitively on the detuning, dephasing and relative orientation (that is, the vectorial properties) of the coupled dipoles. Here, we introduce plasmonic nanofocusing spectroscopy to record coherent light scattering spectra with 5 nm spatial resolution from the apex of a conical gold nanotaper. The apex is excited solely by evanescent fields and coupled to plasmon resonances in a single gold nanorod. We resolve resonance energy shifts and line broadenings as a function of dipole distance and relative orientation. We demonstrate how These phenomena arise from mode couplings between different vectorial components of the interacting optical near fields, specifically from the coupling of the nanorod to both transverse and longitudinal polarizabilities of the taper apex.

T1 - Preparation and X-ray structural characterization of further stereoisomers of 1,2,5,6,9,10-hexabromocyclododecane N2 - Technical 1,2,5,6,9,10-hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD) consists largely of three diastereomers (α-, β-, and γ-HBCD) produced by the trans addition of bromine to cis,trans,trans-cyclododeca-1,5,9-triene (CDT). However, another seven diastereomers are theoretically possible and may be produced by trans addition of bromine across the double bonds of the other three isomers of 1,5,9-CDT. There are indications that small amounts of the minor HBCD isomers may be present in commercial HBCD mixtures or in products containing this brominated flame retardant (BFR). Such minor components may indeed derive from traces of other 1,5,9-CDTs in the cis, trans, trans starting material, however their formation may also be possible through isomerizations during the processing of this BFR or by bioisomerization subsequent to its release into the environment. Two of the seven additional diastereomers (δ- and ε-HBCD) were synthesized previously from trans,trans,trans-CDT. We now report the preparation of the remaining five diastereomers, ζ-, η-, and θ-HBCD from cis,cis,trans-CDT and ι- and κ-HBCD from cis,cis,cis-CDT, and their characterization by 1H NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. The availability of these further diastereomers of HBCD should aid in determining if the minor isomers are present in commercial samples of this BFR, in products containing HBCDs, or in environmental samples. We have also carried out an X-ray crystal structure determination on ε-HBCD, so that crystal structures are now available for all 10 HBCD diastereomers.

T1 - Positionspapier Sensorik für die Digitalisierung chemischer Produktionsanlagen N2 - Die chemische Industrie steht derzeit, wie viele andere Industriebereiche, vor den Herausforderungen einer Digitalisierung der Produktion. Sie ist der Schlüssel für die Flexibilisierung von Prozessen und Anlagen, für die Verkürzung von Produkteinführungszeiten sowie für den Zuschnitt der Produktion auf wechselnde Nachfrage und kürzere Produktlebenszyklen. Die Messtechnik und Sensorik spielt neben der intelligenten Datenverarbeitung eine Schlüsselrolle für die Digitalisierung. Flexiblere Anlagen benötigen Sensorik zur Überwachung des Anlagenzustandes, zur Früherkennung nicht bestimmungsgemäßer Betriebszustände sowie für eine bedarfsgerechte Wartung. Da die Entwicklung neuer und verbesserter Messtechnik und Sensorik grundlegend aus verschiedenen Richtungen gedacht werden muss, haben sich Akteure aus verschiedenen Branchen zusammengetan und dieses Positionspapier erstellt. Es basiert auf einer grundlegenden Analyse des Ist-Stands sowie des Bedarfs der Industrie, die unter anderem auf einem eigens dafür durchgeführten Workshop mit Sensorentwicklern, Anlagenherstellern sowie Anlagenbetreibern am 18. Juni 2019 bei der DECHEMA in Frankfurt a. M. diskutiert wurden. Diese Aktivitäten wurden maßgeblich von der Initiative Wanted Technologies der ProcessNet sowie dem AMA Verband für Sensorik und Messtechnik e.V. initiiert.

T1 - Silicon isotope constraints on the formation of silicates and metal in EH chondrites N2 - Bulk enstatite chondrites (EC) and their achondritic counterpart, the aubrites, have the lightest measured Si isotope composition of all rocks in the solar system. Some authors proposed that the enrichment of 28Si in EC metal by equilibrium or kinetic isotope fractionation processes in the solar nebula may have led to the negative δ30/28Si of bulk EC. Because EC are also depleted in refractory elements, loss of a heavy Si component with refractory elements might be an alternative explanation. To further constrain their genesis, we analysed for the first time in situ Si-isotope ratios simultaneously with major- and trace element abundances in silicate and metal phases of Sahara 97072 (EH3) and Indarch (EH4).

T1 - A new two-stage separation procedure for the IDMS based quantification of low Pd and Pt amounts in automotive exhaust emissions N2 - A two-step separation procedure for the quantification of Pd and Pt in automotive exhaust emissions using isotope dilution mass spectrometry was established using a combination of cation and anion exchange chemistry. AG 50W-X12 was used as cation exchange resin and DGA as weakly basic anion exchange resin. This procedure enabled the effective separation of Pd and Pt from the matrix and from interfering elements. Additionally Pd and Pt were collected in separate chromatographic fractions, which increased the precision of the isotope ratio determination by separate measurements using single collector sector field ICPMS. The analytical procedure was validated by analysing the synthetically prepared samples and the certified reference materials BCR-723 (road dust) and IAEA-450 (algae). For the SI-traceable results complete uncertainty budgets were calculated yielding relatively expanded uncertainties (k = 2) of ≈1% for analyte masses in the ng range. Procedure blanks of 55 pg Pd and 3 pg Pt were obtained. The detection limits were calculated as 12 pg for Pd and 7 pg for Pt. Additionally, Pd and Pt blank levels of different filter materials are presented as well as the first results for automotive exhaust particles collected on cellulose filters.

Still, only little is known about the distribution and behavior in the environment such as bioaccumulation or biotransformation of HBCD stereoisomers. In order to investigate enrichment and possible bioisomerization of HBCD stereoisomers, Mirror Carps were exposed to pure (+)- and (-)-γ-HBCD, randomly sampled after a predefined specific period and subjected to enantiomer-specific determination of α-, β-, and γ- HBCD. No evidence for the isomerization of HBCD stereoisomers was observed in Mirror Carp fillets.
