Unified quantum logic

Unified quantum logic based on unified operations of implication is formulated as an axiomatic calculus. Soundness and completeness are demonstrated using standard algebraic techniques. An embedding of quantum logic into a new modal system is carried out and discussed.On leave of absence from Department of Mathematics, University of Zagreb, Pot.

1,3,6,9,12,14,17,20-octaethynyltetrabenz[a,b,f,j,k,o]-4,5,10,11,15,16,21,22- octadehydro[18]annulene: a carbon-rich hydrocarbon

Dodecaynes 1a-d have been prepared via a convergent strategy that employs Sonogashira couplings as the carbon-carbon bond-forming tool. Due to the steric bulk of the DMTS groups, 1c adopts a nonplanar conformation, the dynamics of which have been probed by VT-NMR. The cobalt-catalyzed isomerization of 1a,b produced the new conjugated phenylenes 2a,b and 3a,b, respectively. [structure: see text]

微波常压法合成水杨酸酯

在浓硫酸催化下，采用微波常压法由水杨酸分别与正丁醇、异丁醇、正戊醇和异戊醇反应合成相应的水杨酸酯。结果表明：当水杨酸：醇：Ｈ２ＳＯ４＝１：５．５：０．３（摩尔比）时，采用５６０Ｗ微波辐射２２ｍｉｎ，水杨酸酯的产率可达８８．７％￣９６．４％，反应速度至少是常规反应的１４倍。     

Sonochemical Degradation of Polychlorinated Biphenyls in Aqueous Solution

Ultrasonic waves in a liquid induce the formation of cavitation bubbles. Submitted to an oscillating pressure field, cavities filled with vapor and dissolved gas pulsate, grow and implode violently when they reach a critical resonant size. According to the 慼ot spot?theory, extremely high temperature and pressure are produced during the collapse of cavitation bubbles1. Under these extreme conditions, the molecules vaporized in the bubbles as well as in the surrounding condensed layer could …     

Transition metal complexes with Girard reagent-based ligands

The ligand, salicylaldehyde Girard-T hydrazonium chloride, [H₂SalGT]Cl (1), and two complexes [Cu(HSalGT)X₂]·H₂O (X = Br(2); Cl(3)) were synthesized and their crystal structures were determined by single-crystal X-ray analysis. In the two isostructural complexes, the Cu(II) is located in a square-pyramidal environment, with the chelating ligand and one halogen atom in the basal plane and the second halogen in the apical position. The most apparent structural difference between the 1 and its complexes 2 and 3 is the orientation of the N(CH₃)₃ group: in 1, it is practically coplanar to the rest of the molecule, while in 2 and 3 it is oriented to the side of the axially bonded halogen, which can be explained by the C–H…X intramolecular interactions. The compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductivity, magnetic susceptibility and electronic absorption spectra.     

Sorption of chromium(VI) and chromium(III) on aluminium hydroxide

Factors that influence the sorption of Cr(VI) and Cr(III) on aluminium hydroxide were investigated. The sorption of chromates decreases as the pH of the suspension increases. The mechanism of CrO ₄ ^2– sorption was interpreted in terms of reactions between chromates and –OH and/or H₂O groups at the hydroxide/liquid interface. It has been shown that chromates are more tightly sorbed on aluminium hydroxide compared to other anions, e.g. chlorides. On the other hand, specifically absorbed anions, such as molybdates, compete strongly with chromates for the sorption sites. The sorption of chromium(III) increases with the pH of the suspension. Also, the sorption of chromium(III) is suppressed in the presence of citrate ions. The best conditions for the fixation of Cr(VI) and Cr(III) by aluminium hydroxide are presented.     

NBR/ORGANOMODIFIED BENTONITE INTERCALATED HYBRIDS AND THEIR EFFECTS ON THE TOUGHNESS OF PVC

Hybrids of intercalative nitrile-butadiene rubber/organomodified bentonite (NBR/OMB) were prepared by thelatex intercalation technique. Investigation of their mechanical properties and the microstructore of NBR/OMB showed thatthe organomodified bentonite is an effective toughener for NBR. Transmission electronic microscopy (TEM) and X-rnydiffraction (XRD) tests showed that the NBR macromolecule could be intercalated into the galleries of bentonite.Incorporation of NBR/OMB hybrids as tougheners into poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) results in a substantial increase in theimpact strength of PVC, but little decrease in its tensile strength and flexural strength, compared to the unmodified PVC.

Deposition of Layer－by－layer Inorganic－organic Nano－hybrid Ultrathin Films onto SBA－15

Deposition of inorganic-organic nano-hybrid ultrathin films onto mesoporous silicate materials has been proven possible by using layer-by-layer assembly method. In combination with sol-gel method, titania, subsequently dye molecules (or polymer) were successfully fabricated onto the inner wall of SBA-15. Their structures were preliminarily characterized by FTIR and solid-state UV-Vis spectroscopy, thermal analysis, and BET surface area measurements,respectively.
