Synthesis of perfluoroheptanal by ozonolysis of perfluoro-1-octene

Perfluoro-1-octene was used as a model for developing a method for the preparative ozonolysis of perfluoro-1-alkenes to the corresponding perfluoro-nor-alkenals. Perfluoroheptanal was synthesized.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 6, pp. 1146–1147, June, 1994.     

A Diepoxide Belonging to the Rare C1 Point Group

2,6- and 2,7-Dimethylanthracenes were reduced seriatim with lithium in liquid ammonia and lithium in methylamine to their 1,4,5,8,9,10-hexahydro derivatives. Two-fold epoxidation of these tetraenes provided the cis and trans diepoxides resulting from electrophilic attack at the inner double bonds. Trans diepoxide 1 has the very unusual characteristic of lacking a σ plane of symmetry but possessing an inversion center. As a consequence, the ¹H NMR spectrum of C₁-symmetric 1 is simplified relative to those of its isomers 5, 9, and 10.

Effect of the incomplete accommodation of the heterogeneous recombination energy on heat fluxes to a quartz surface

Taking both the heterogeneous catalytic processes, including the surface formation of particles with excited internal degrees of freedom, and the processes of multicomponent diffusion and heat transfer in the MESOX apparatus fully into account makes it possible to obtain a recombination coefficient and an accommodation coefficient of the oxygen-atoms-on-quartz recombination energy which are in good agreement with the experimental data. The heterogeneous catalysis model constructed can be used effectively for predicting the heat fluxes to the surface of reentry vehicles on their entry into the Earth’s atmosphere.

Catalytic Activity of Nickel Alloys in Anodic Oxidation of the Hypophosphite Ion as a Function of Their Composition

The rate of anodic oxidation of the hypophosphite ion on alloys Ni-P, Ni-B, and Ni-Mo-P is studied as a function of their composition and structure. The organic compounds that are customarily used to stabilize electrolytes of electroless nickel plating are shown to come useful when controlling composition of the Ni-P coatings at the expense of their different influence on the rates of partial processes of deposition of the alloy components. The formation of catalytic activity of such coatings is affected mostly by a structural factor. With alloys Ni-P, Ni-B, and Ni-Mo-P, whose composition was varied by altering the concentration of the source of the alloying component, dependence of catalytic activity of the surface on the composition is defined mainly by an electronic factor.__________Translated from Elektrokhimiya, Vol. 41, No. 8, 2005, pp. 972–980.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Sotskaya, Dolgikh, Ryabinina.     

Tuning size and catalytic activity of nano-clusters of cobalt oxide

Cobalt oxides were prepared by three different methods: (1) by reacting cobalt nitrate with oxalic acid, (2) co-precipitating cobalt nitrate with sodium carbonate, and (3) using sodium dodecyl sulphate as organic surfactant. All three samples were characterized before and after calcination by solvent extraction and the resulting products examined by IR spectroscopy. In the case of method 3, the removal of surfactant was followed by TGA studies. Products from all three methods were identified by XRD. Peaks in low angle XRD indicate the porous nature of the oxides. The morphology of the pores was studied by transmission electron microscopy. Some irregular pore structures were obtained for samples from methods 1 and 2, with an average size of 4–6 nm. Only the product from method 3 using SDS as template showed ordered structure and optimum size, and Brunauer-Emmet-Teller surface areas of the as-prepared, as well as the treated samples, exhibited H3 type hysteresis. The samples from the three methods were used as catalysts in the oxidation reaction of cyclohexane under mild conditions and the catalytic efficiency of the cobalt oxide was comparable with mesoporous cobalt oxides.

Schedule-an expert-like system for machine scheduling

The construction of an expert-like system for machine scheduling called SCHEDULE is presented. Essential parts of SCHEDULE were developed by students in a laboratory course Operations Research on Microcomputers at the University of Karlsruhe, Germany. SCHEDULE consists of the components data base, knowledge base, inference engine, explanation facility, dialog component, and knowledge acquisition component. The knowledge base contains an algorithm base for solving different types of scheduling problems. To establish the rules of the knowledge base the well-known three-field classification of deterministic machine scheduling problems and the concept of the reduction digraph are exploited. Experiences gained during building and demonstrating SCHEDULE are reported.
