The New Data for the Reaction of Arylenedioxy Trihalogenophosphoranes with Alkyl- and Arylacetylenes

The new data concerning the reaction between substituted arylenedioxy trihalogenophosphoranes and monoalkyl- or arylacetylenes are summarized. The reaction leads to formation of six-membered heterocycles-2-oxo-4-R-benzo[ e ]-1,2-oxaphosphorin-3-enes. The substituent effects in the phosphorane and acetylene molecules on the ipso -substitution and halogenation regiochemistry are discussed. The ipso -substitution of tert -butyl group on chlorine and the exchange of bromine on chlorine and iodine on hydrogen have been observed, along with formation of benzophosphorines. The interaction of tetrachloro- ortho -benzoquinone with phosphorus trichloride and arylacetylenes is proposed as a new modification of the reaction leading to the formation of benzo[ e ]-1,2-oxaphosphorines. The structures of some benzo[ e ]-1,2-oxaphosphorines are determined by the single crystal X-ray diffraction.

Conductivity as a Sensor for Monitoring Relative Magnesium Corrosion Rates in Real‐time,in Serum‐containing Media under Cell Culture Conditions

Because controlling the corrosion rate of magnesium metal will be crucial to the success of biomedical implants containing pure magnesium or magnesium alloys, many ways have been sought to improve in vitro tests to analyze corrosion rates, and also to identify new methods of preparing or post‐processing magnesium. In this work, for an in vitro assay, we explored the use of a commercially available conductivity sensor to study magnesium corrosion under cell culture conditions that duplicate many physiologically appropriate parameters. With this sensor, we studied the corrosion of two previously untested magnesium single crystal samples that differed in surface treatments that could alter corrosion rates. The results show that the relative conductivity changes in (mS/cm) over the total time of immersion were proportional to the corrosion rates in (mm/y) and also to the total magnesium released, as detected by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP‐MS).     

Nature of radiation resistance of LFS oxyorthosilicate crystals doped with Ce,Sc, Ca,and Y ions

Optical and luminescence characteristics of Lu_2+2ySi_1-yO_5+y (LFS) scintillation crystals are studied before and after irradiation with doses to 45 Mrad from a ⁶⁰Co source. LFS crystals were doped with Ce³⁺, Sc³⁺, Ca²⁺, and Y³⁺ ions with various concentrations. The dependence of the radiation resistance of LFS crystals on Ce ion concentration is detected. For the crystal of composition Ce:Sc:Ca:Y:LFS, it was found that its optical transmission (OT) and pulsed cathodoluminescence (PCL) spectra before irradiation do not differ from the spectra measured after irradiation with a dose of 45 Mrad within experimental error. The nature of the radiation resistance of rare-earth lutetium oxyorthosilicates (LFS) is discussed.     

The Time-Resolved Fluorescence Stokes Shift of Cucurbit[6]Uril Complexes with a Pyridinium Styryl Dye

The time-resolved Stokes shift of fluorescence of styryl dye, trans-4-[4-(dimethylamino)-styryl]-1-methylpyridinium iodide (DASPI), and its host-guest complexes with cucurbit[6]uril (CB[6]) was studied by up-conversion technique on a 5 ps time scale. In all cases, the solvation time correlation function – that describes relaxation of the fluorescent state - contains two components. The time constant of the first component, which is related to the vibrational relaxation of the dye cation, increases from 118 fs without CB[6] to 224 fs in the presence CB[6]. It suggests the production of CB[6] complexes to disturb the hydrogen-bond net in the vicinity of DASPI cation. The time constant of the second component, which is associated with solvation, changes from 0.81 ps without CB[6] to 1.15 ps in the presence of the cavitand. The observed increase can be related to the displacement of the dye cation deeper into CB[6] that allows considering DASPI-CB[6] complexes as a light-controlled molecular machine with a response time on the picosecond scale.

Experimental determination of the fracture time of polymethylmethacrylate and polystyrene behind the shock wave excited by a high-current pulsed electron beam

The time ranges of the fracture of polymethylmethacrylate and polystyrene during the action of a shock wave generated by a high-current pulsed electron beam are experimentally determined using laser probing in combination with electron-optical chronography. It is shown that fractures occur during unloading of a material, i.e., after the passage of the shock wave. Although the characters of fracture of these polymers near the surface irradiated by electron beam are different, the fracture wave velocities in them are found to be close.     

Physicochemical Processes Accompanying the Plastic Strain Localization under Pulsed Loading

The formation of localized deformation bands is accompanied by the mass transfer of particles of the matrix material (interstitial atoms, impurities, etc.) toward faults in the material being destroyed and by the emergence of stress oscillations in a mode of ultrasonic vibrations lasting several orders of magnitude longer than the initial pulse. It was assumed that dislocations generated under pulsed deformation are the cause of the migration of particles.
