A new class of Ornstein transformations with singular spectrum

It is shown that for any family of probability measures in Ornstein type constructions, the corresponding transformation has almost surely a singular spectrum. This is a new generalization of Bourgain's theorem [J. Bourgain, On the spectral type of Ornstein class one transformations, Israel J. Math. 84 (1993) 53–63], same result is proved for Rudolph's construction [D. Rudolph, An example of a measure-preserving map with minimal self-joining and applications, J. Anal. Math. 35 (1979) 97–122].     

Design of New Water Receptors Based on Oligomeric Complexes of Copper(II) and Nickel(II)

The interaction of mono- and oligomacromolecular complexes of copper(II) and nickel(II) with water vapor has been studied on a piezoquartz microbalance. It has been established that the effectiveness of adsorption is determined by the nature of the metal ion to a larger extent than the quantity of macrocyclic ligand in the receptor molecule. Oligomacrocyclic complexes of copper(II) are shown to have prospects for use as active coverings of moisture meters working over a wide range of relative humidity.     

The three-electron heteropoly blue [P6Mo18O73]11- with a basket-shaped skeleton

The novel basket-shaped three-electron-reduced heteropoly blue [H2dmpip]5[K [subset or is implied by] P6Mo18O73] was prepared and characterized; it shows reversible one-electron redox properties.

Cyclizaticn of 3-formyl-2-acetylenylindole oximes

Conclusions 3-Formyl-2-acetylenyl-1-methylindole oximes readily undergo intramolecular heterocyclization with closure of a pyridine ring and formation of substituted-carboline N-oxides.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 11, pp. 2602–2604, November, 1984.
