Coherent dissociation of relativistic 9C nuclei

Results on the coherent dissociation of relativistic ⁹C nuclei in a nuclear track emulsion are described. These results include the charge topology and kinematical features of final states. Events of ⁹C → 3³He coherent dissociation are identified.     

Redox induced translocation of a guest molecule between viologen-resorcinarene and β-cyclodextrin

Here we report the design of a three-component supramolecular system in which a guest molecule reversibly translocates between two macrocyclic hosts.     

Study of the Involvement of <Superscript>8</Superscript>Be and <Superscript>9</Superscript>B Nuclei in the Dissociation of Relativistic <Superscript>10</Superscript>C, <Superscript>10</Superscript>B,and <Superscript>12</Superscript>C Nuclei

The results obtained by estimating the contribution of 8Be and 9B nuclei to the coherent dissociation of ¹⁰C, ¹⁰B, and ¹²C relativistic nuclei in nuclear track emulsions (“white” stars) are presented. The selection of white stars accompanied by 9B leads to a distinct peak appearing in the distribution of the excitation energy of 2α2p ensembles and having a maximum at 4.1 ± 0.3 MeV. A 8Be nucleus manifests itself in the coherent-dissociation reaction ¹⁰B → ²He + H with a probability of (25 ± 5)%, (14 ± 3)% of it being due to 9B decays. The ratio of the branching fractions of the ⁹B + n and ⁹Be + p mirror channels is estimated at 6 ± 1. An analysis of the relativistic dissociation of ¹²C nuclei in a nuclear track emulsion revealed nine 3α events corresponding to the Hoyle state.     

One-pot synthesis of thiazolo[3,4-a]quinoxalines and the related heterocyclic systems using 4-hydroxy-4-alkoxycarbonyl-3,5-diaryl-2-aryliminothia(selena)zolidines as versatile reagents

An efficient and versatile one-step method for the synthesis of thiazolo[3,4-a]quinoxalines and related new heterocyclic systems have been developed on the basis of a new strategy for the construction of the pyrazine ring system. The key step of the process involves the cascade annulation of the iminothiazolopyrazine system to benzene in the reaction of 4-hydroxy-3,5-diaryl-2-phenyliminothiazolidines with 1,2-diaminobenzenes. The use of selenium analogues instead of thiazolidine derivatives in this reaction, leads to selenazolo[3,4-a]quinoxalines and the use of aza analogues instead of 1,2-diaminobenzenes gives aza analogues of thiazolo[3,4-a]quinoxalines.     

Simulation of transverse self-oscillations for a free circular cylinder mounted with a narrow gap in a plane channel

The experimentally observed self-oscillations of a cylinder mounted with a narrow gap in a plane channel are simulated. The added masses of the cylinder are calculated in the framework of ideal fluid theory by a generalized image method. In order to describe the self-oscillations in a real fluid, some dissipative factors and an impulsive impact force exerted on the cylinder are introduced.
