Abstract

A density-gradient-stabilized electrophoresis apparatus has been designed and built.

Spectrophotometric and electrophoretic measurements are used to investigate the hydrogen ion, mercuric ion, and methylmercuric ion complexes of purine and pyrimidine derivatives. The results are used to infer the charge of the complexes.

The problem of determining the charge of an ion from its mobility and diffusion coefficient is also considered.
