Solvent Effect on the Volume of the Diels-Alder Reaction between Tetracyanoethylene and trans,trans-1,4-Diphenyl-1,3-butadiene

From the partial molar volumes of tetracyanoethylene, trans,trans-1,4-diphenyl-1,3-butadiene, and their Diels-Alder adduct, the volumes of the reaction in a series of solvents at 25°C (cm³ mol^{- 1}) were calculated: in dioxane, -26.4; in chloroform, -34.9; in ethyl acetate, -34.5; in acetonitrile, -4.4; in cyclohexanone, -34.0; in 1,2-dichloroethane, -31.8; in benzene, -26.9; in toluene, -24.5; in o-xylene, -21.1; and in mesitylene, -16.9. The solvent effects on the activation and reaction volumes and on the partial molar volumes of the reactants, activated complex, and adduct were discussed.     

Liquid chromatography of cardiac glycosides

Summary LC was used for the separation of several cardiac glycosides with water-alcohol eluents on a silanised silica column. The influence of temperature and composition of the eluent on the retention time, the retention volumes of the glycosides, the selectivity and the capacity factor of the column were studied. Higher temperature and a higher ethanol content in the eluent reduce the retention time, the selectivity and the capacity factor but the efficiency of the column increases. The best separation of six glycosides studied was obtained at 50°C, the ethanol content in the eluent being about 30%.     

Solution of Goursat problem for the Maxwell-Bloch system

Gas chromatographic investigation of adsorption equilibria on graphitized thermal carbon black

Summary Retention volumes and heats of adsorption at low surface coverages of graphitized thermal carbon black (GTCB) for C₆–C₁₄ aromatic hydrocarbons have been determined. The dependence of heats of adsorption of these molecules on their structure and the number of carbon atoms in the molecule have been investigated. Substitution in the ring in methylbenzenes is not equivalent to the lengthening of the side-chain in the isomers of n-alkylbenzenes and gives rise to a much greater increase in the retention volumes and heats of adsorption.     

Separation of isomers of saturated polycyclic hydrocarbons in packed capillary columns with graphitized thermal carbon black

Summary Using the example of perhydrophenanthrene, perhydroanthracene and cyclopentanodecalin isomers a possibility is shown to use packed capillary columns containing graphitized thermal carbon black for a complete separation of high-boiling mixtures of polycyclic saturated hydrocarbon isomers in accordance with the geometric structure of their molecules.

Gas chromatographic investigation of the adsorption equilibrium on graphitized thermal carbon black I. The henry-constants and heats of adsorption of C₁−C₆ hydrocarbons at zero coverage

Summary The retention volumes and heats of adsorption at low surface coverages of graphitized thermal carbon black for C₁−C₆ alkanes, alkenes, alkadienes, alkynes, cyclanes, cyclenes, and benzene have been determined. The dependence of heats of adsorption of these molecules on polarisability, carbon number, isomerisation and cyclisation, the presence of double bonds and conjugated bonds were investigated.

Etude par la chromatographie en phase gazeuse de l'équilibre d'adsorption sur le noir de carbone graphitisé par voie thermique I. constante de henry et enthalpie d'adsorption des hydrocarbures en C₁ à C₆ pour les taux de recouvrement nuls

Résumé On a déterminé les volumes de retention et les enthalpies d'adsorption des molécules d'alcanes, alcènes, alcadiènes, alcynes, cyclanes, cyclènes en C_` à C₆ et du benzène sur la surface du noir de carbone graphitisé par voie thermique pour les taux de recouvrement faibles. On a aussi étudié la relation entre les enthalpies d'adsorption de ces molécules et leur polarisabilité, leur nombre d'atomes de carbone, la ramification de leur cha?ne, la cyclisation, le nombre de doubles liaisons et de doubles liaisons conjuguées.

     

Tropylation and pyrylation of salts of aliphatic mono-, di-, and trinitro compounds

We have studied the reactions of salts of nitroalkanes with tropylium and 2,6-diphenylpyrylium salts leading to products of C-tropylation and C-pyrylation of the corresponding anions. The only exception is the salt of cyanodinitromethane, which is not tropylated. Splitting off of a HNO₂ molecule from the products of tropylation of nitroalkane anions to prepare nitroheptafulvenes was unsuccessful.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 9, pp. 2092–2097, September, 1991.     

Sputtering the surface of a He-Ne laser cathode

The results from analyzing the surface of an aluminum cathode by means of atomic force microscopy (AFM) and Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) are presented. Cathode surface sputtering is simulated via the Monte Carlo method using the SRIM program. Factors affecting the formation of the surface relief of cold cathodes under the action of bombarding ions are discussed along with the main mechanisms of surface modification and ways of enhancing the stability of the material with respect to the action of ions.
