The contributions of transmembrane and transepithelial ion transfer processes and of nonbicarbonate buffering to the in vivo acid-base regulation have been evaluated. Model calculations were performed utilizing experimental data on transepithelial transfer of ions relevant for the acid-base regulation, the intracellular buffering properties of fish tissues, and the behavior of intracellular and extracellular pH and bicarbonate concentration with changes of temperature. The results of these studies indicate that the changes in the pK values of physiological nonbicarbonate buffers with changes in temperature support the adjustment of pH to lower values with rising temperature; however, transmembrane and transepithelial ion transfer mechanisms determine the acid-base regulation of intracellular and extracellular compartments.

The ion-molecule reactions of eight highly halogenated derivatives of methane were studied in the gas phase using a mass spectrometer operated at high pressures. The compounds studied were CHCl3, CHCl2F, CHClF2, CHF3, CCl4, CCl2F2, CClF3, and CF4. These ionic systems were found to be less reactive than those of methane or the methyl and methylene halides. The main reactions observed were described as being halide ion transfer processes. The energy dependence of the cross sections and the rate coefficients of the reactant ions were determined.� Many rate coefficients for reactions between ions and polar molecules were found to be independent of the ion energy. Brief studies of the negative spectra at high pressures were also made.
