DICSI station at KCSR and NT: Determination of optimal requirements to the formation of an SR beam using cylindrical x-ray optical zoom lenses

To modernize the DICSI station, new hardware and software have been created according to the conditions of the operating storage ring “Sibir’-2” beam channel. The recording system has been successfully tested on the operating channel of the storage ring VEPP-3 (Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics Siberian Branch, Russian Academy of Sciences, Novosibirsk) using the time-resolved “diffraction cinema” technique in studying real biological objects in the static and dynamic modes of data accumulation. At the DICSI station, structural changes in medical and biological objects are permanently investigated. The specific structure dimensions of these objects are in the nanometric range.     

Combined study of thermochemical properties of nitroform and its salts

A combined method for determination of the standard enthalpies of formation of nitroform and its salts was proposed. The enthalpies of dissolution of nitroform and its ammonium, hydrazinium, guanidinium, and potassium salts in water were measured. The enthalpy of combustion of hydrazinium salt of nitroform was determined by a combustion calorimetry, and its standard enthalpy of formation was calculated. The enthalpy of formation of trinitromethyl anion in indefinitely diluted aqueous solution −24.94±0.79 kJ mol⁻¹, was calculated on the basic of the data obtained for enthalpies of formation and dissolution of ammonium and hydrazinium salts of nitroform. Standard enthalpies of formation of nitroform and its salts were calculated. Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 12, pp. 2451–2454, December, 1998.

Thermochemistry of complex salts of transition metals with tetrazolyl ligands

A combined use of precise combustion calorimetry and reaction calorimetry made it possible to obtain the standard enthalpy of formation of complex salts of transition metals (nickel, zinc, and cadmium) with 2-(1H-1,2,3,4-tetrazol-1-yl)acetohydrazide ligands. The enthalpy of combustion of the ligand was determined using combustion calorimetry, based on which its standard enthalpy of formation was calculated. For measurements by reaction calorimetry, a thermochemical cycle was designed to determine the standard enthalpy of formation of complex salts. The enthalpies of solution in water and in a 0.1 N hydrochloric acid solution of the ligand and complex transition metal salts were measured. Based on these data, the enthalpy of formation of the salts and the enthalpy of formation of three new complex ions were calculated.     

Enthalpy of formation of dimethyltriazanium chloride

Conclusions We determined the enthalpies of solution (5.53 ± 0.03 kcal/mole) and formation (21.7 ± 0.28 kcal/mole) of dimethyltriazanium chloride.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 10, pp. 2392–2394, October, 1981.
