Record 4 2016-07-13

English

Subject field(s)
  • Scientific Instruments
  • Analytical Chemistry
DEF

A detector that uses a reducing flame in which individual elements give rise to characteristic colours that are measured by a photomultiplier.

CONT

The flame photometric detector(FPD) measures the fluorescence emission of hetero atoms of organic molecules subjected to combustion.

OBS

The detector is used in gas chromatography mainly to detect components that contain particular elements, e.g. phosphorous (P) and sulfur (S).

OBS

flame photometric detector: term and definition standardized by ISO in 2014.

PHR

continuous flame photometric detector, pulsed flame photometric detector

French

Domaine(s)
  • Instruments scientifiques
  • Chimie analytique
DEF

Détecteur utilisant une flamme réductrice dans laquelle les éléments émettent une couleur caractéristique qui est mesurée par un photomultiplicateur.

OBS

Le détecteur est utilisé en chromatographie en phase gazeuse pour détecter plus particulièrement les constituants renfermant des éléments particuliers, comme par exemple, le phosphore (P) et le soufre (S).

OBS

détecteur à photométrie de flamme : terme et définition normalisés par l'ISO en 2014.

PHR

détecteur à photométrie de flamme pulsée, détecteur à photométrie de flamme soufre-phosphore

Record 5 2001-02-01

English

Subject field(s)
  • Chemical Elements and Compounds
CONT

Subclass 182.... Compounds in which two of the ring nitrogens of the six-membered hetero ring are bonded directly to each other.... Note. Examples of compounds provided for herein are 1, 2, 3-triazine, often designated as vicinal triazine, and 1, 2, 4-triazine.

CONT

Triazines are six-membered rings with the number of adjacent nitrogens ranging from three in 1,2,3-triazine to one in s-triazine.

OBS

1,2,3-triazine: form recommended by the IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry).

French

Domaine(s)
  • Éléments et composés chimiques
OBS

1,2,3-triazine : Éviter les autres appellations (S-triazine ou s-triazine), où «S» (parfois «s») a le sens de symétrique; forme recommandée par l'UICPA (Union internationale de chimie pure et appliquée).

Key term(s)
  • S-triazine

Spanish

Record 6 2001-01-18

English

Subject field(s)
  • Chemistry
  • Biological Sciences
DEF

The resonance-stabilized ring characteristic of aromatic organic compounds.

CONT

Most aromatic rings are planar six-membered rings(e. g., benzene or pyridine) or planar five-membered rings containing a hetero atom with an unshared electron pair(e. g,, furan or pyrrole). Although aromatic rings are unsaturated, they do not undergo the addition reactions characteristic of alkenes; instead, aromatic compounds are characterized by substitution reactions. Many organic compounds, such as naphthalene and purine, contain several aromatic rings fused together.

OBS

It appears that human, because of the course of evolution, do not have biochemical ability to synthesize the benzene ring. As a result, phenylalanine and tryptophan derivatives are essential in the human diet.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Chimie
  • Sciences biologiques
CONT

La famille [...] des aminoacides non polaires [...] contient cinq aminoacides ayant une chaîne hydrocarbonée aliphatique: alanine, leucine, isoleucine, valine et proline, deux possédant des noyaux aromatiques : phénylalanine et tryptophane, et un contenant du soufre : la méthionine. Tous ces aminoacides sont moins solubles dans l'eau que ne le sont les aminoacides polaires.

Record 7 1997-05-08

English

Subject field(s)
  • Chemistry
DEF

A crystal in which atomic bonds are ionic bonds. This type of atomic linkage, also known as(hetero) polar bonding, is characteristic of many compounds(sodium chloride, for instance).

French

Domaine(s)
  • Chimie
DEF

Cristal dans lequel la liaison chimique est due aux forces d'attraction électroniques entre les ions de charges opposées, tel le chlorure de sodium. Ce type de liaison chimique, connu également sous le nom de liaison polaire, est caractéristique de nombreux composés.
