Synthesis of New Fluorinated Derivatives of Quinolinecarboxylic Acids

Ethyl esters of 1-(7-Z-1-ethyl-6-fluoro-4-oxo-1,4-dihydroquinoline-3-carbamoyl)-5-X-6,7,8-trifluoro-4-oxo-1,4-dihydroquinoline-3-carboxylic acids (X = H, F; Z = pyrrolidino-, piperidino-, hexamethylenimino-, morpholino-, thiomorpholino-) have been synthesized by the interaction of quinolone-3-carboxylic acid hydrazides with ethyl esters of 3-ethoxy-2-(polyfluorobenzoyl)acrylic acid . It was shown possible to cyclize intramolecularly the esters obtained with the formation of 1,3,4-oxadiazino[6,5,4-i,j]quinoline derivatives.     

A novel heterocyclization of 1-acetylenyl-9,10-anthraquinones

I-Acetylenyl-9,10-anthraquinones react with an excess of NH₂NH₂ at 80–115°C to give a mixture of substituted 7H-dibenzo[de,h]quinolin-7-ones and anthra[9,1-cd]-1,2-diazepin-8-ones. The latter compounds undergo reductive contraction of the sevenmembered ring to give the corresponding 7H-dibenzo[de,h]quinolin-7-ones. Bulky substituents in position 2 of the initial acetylenylanthraquinones prevent the formation of the sevenmembered heterocycle. A scheme of the cyclocondensation was proposed.

Medium effects on fluorescence quantum yields and lifetimes for coumarin laser dyes

Fluorescence quantum yields and lifetimes of coumarin dyes are sharply reduced in polar solvents if amine substituent groups are free to rotate. The polar solvent effect is interpreted in terms of relaxation of excited dye from an initial planar conformation to a twisted zwitterionic state.     

Atom-surface elastic scattering in the presence of laser radiation

A qualitative discussion on atom-surface elastic scattering taking place in the presence of laser radiation is given. It is suggested that appreciable effects of laser radiation on diffraction patterns may be expected if the laser radiation is capable of inducing electronic transitions in atoms with a large probability.Research sponsored by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFSC), United States Air Force, under Contract No. F49620-78-C-0005, and the National Science Foundation under Grant No. CHE77-27826.

The formation of a series of barium tungsten bronzes

The phases occurring in samples of gross composition Ba_xWO₃ (0.01 < x < 0.33) heated at temperatures between 1073 and 1373°K have been determined using X-ray diffraction and electron microscopy. At all temperatures a tetragonal tungsten bronze phase with a narrow homogeneity range of x = 0.20?0.21 was observed to form. In addition, at temperatures up to 1273°K, a series of orthorhombic intergrowth bronzes forms within a restricted composition range around x = 0.04. The latter phases are unstable at higher temperatures and were not found in preparations made at 1323°K. Similarly a new type of bronze phase forms at x = 0.14?0.16 at temperatures up to 1323°K, but not at 1373°K. The structure of this phase is unknown. Aspects of the crystal chemistry of the barium bronzes and the relationships to other bronze phases are discussed.     

Determination of traces of impurities in high-purity sodium chloride by differential pulse polarography and flame spectrometry

Summary Detection limits for the determination of a number of elements in solid sodium chloride by differential pulse polarography, flame absorption and emission spectrometry were established. These methods were used for a quantitative investigation on the distribution of ppm quantities of Cu, Pb, Cd, Zn, Mn, Mg, Sr and Ba between the crystallizate and the mother solution obtained in a partial crystallization of sodium chloride from its saturated solution. Recoveries of the crystallization process, calculated from the results of the analysis, vary from 86% for Pb to 115% for Sr.

Bestimmung von Spurenverunreinigungen in reinstem Natriumchlorid durch Differential-Pulspolarographie und Flammenspektrometrie

Zusammenfassung Die Nachweisgrenzen für die Bestimmung einer Zahl von Elementen im festen Natriumchlorid wurden mit Differential-Pulspolarographie, Absorptions- und Emissions-Flammenspektrometrie bestimmt. Diese Methoden wurden benutzt zur quantitativen Untersuchung der Verteilung von ppm-Mengen Cu, Pb, Cd, Zn, Mn, Mg, Sr und Ba zwischen kristallisiertem Salz und Mutterlösung bei teilweiser Kristallisation vom Natriumchlorid aus seiner gesättigten Lösung. Die Ausbeuten des Kristallisationsprozesses, berechnet aus den Analysenergebnissen, schwanken von 86% für Pb bis 115% für Sr.

Method to determine quadruple points of a two-component system containing a simple hydrate phase and behavior of the system near these points

A method for determining quadruple points of a two-component system containing a simple hydrate phase is proposed. This method utilizes the quasi-static change of the system along three-phase equilibrium lines and was proved to be able to determine the quadruple points as accurately as the conventional method. By using this method, even though some preparation is necessary, a quadruple point can be determined in just a single experimental run. The behavior of the system near the quadruple points was also examined experimentally, for both the quasi-static and the irreversible change cases. At the quadruple points, the temperature and pressure of the system were kept constant for a while, as at the triple point of water. In both cases, the representative point of the state of the system passed through the quadruple point on a p–T diagram.

黄曲霉素B2分子吸附在银团簇的表面增强拉曼散射机理

采用密度泛函理论（DFT）B3LYP方法,6-311G（d,p）（C,H,O）/LANL2DZ（Ag）基组,计算了黄曲霉素B₂（AFB₂）分子吸附在Ag₂团簇的表面增强拉曼散射（SERS）光谱和预共振拉曼光谱,并与实验结果比较. 结果显示：AFB₂分子在基态Ag₂团簇表面吸附时,增强因子最大达到10²,对应吡喃（pyrane）环C=O伸缩振动,主要是由AFB₂分子周围化学环境改变而引起的基态静极化率改变导致的化学增强. 不同激发波长下的AFB₂分子预共振拉曼光谱的增强强度不同：电荷转移态激发波长为1144 和544 nm时拉曼信号增强了10²倍,而选择电荷转移预共振波长432和410 nm作为入射光时,其拉曼信号增强了10⁴倍,增强机理为银团簇和黄曲霉素分子之间的电荷转移共振增强. 因此通过改变入射光波长,选择电荷转移共振激发波长,更有利于强致癌物AFB₂分子的痕量检测.     

Multidimensional separation of isomeric species of chlorinated hydrocarbons such as PCB,PCDD, and PCDF

A multidimensional GC-system containing two capillary columns of different polarities, operated within a double oven instrument, was used for the optimized separation of complex isomeric mixtures of various types of chlorinated aromatic compounds such as PCB, PCDD, or PCDF. Electron capture was applied parallel to flame ionization detection to obtain sensitive signals of the PCB or PCDD and the n-alkane standards required for identification by Kovats indices, respectively. Electron capture detection within a valvelessly operated MDGC system forced changes in the usual instrumental set-up, the live-switching coupling piece being located within the second oven of the double oven instrument. This oven is operated isothermally to ensure optimal and interference-free detection, for stable flow conditions within the coupling piece and for the determination of the isothermal retention indices (Kovats), which are much more suitable for identification by retention than the so-called “linear” indices.
