Intramolecular heterocyclization with accompanying exoiminization in the reaction of ammonia with 2-chloroperfluoro-1-cyclohexene-1-thiocyanate

The reaction of ammonia with 2-chloroperfluoro-1-cyclohexene-1-thiocyanate leads to 2-amino-7-iminoperfluoro-4,5,6-trihydrobenzo-1,3-thiazole (II) due to intramolecular heterocyclization in the Thorpe reaction with the concurrent exoiminization. Analysis of the IR spectra of (II) in CCl₄ and in the solid phase indicated that molecules of (II) in the crystal form hydrogen-bonded centrosymmetric dimers (D), which are in equilibrium with free molecules of (II) in solution.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 10, pp. 2366–2370, October, 1991.The authors express their gratitude to D. I. Zagorevskii for taking the mass spectrum of (II) and to L. S. German for a useful discussion of this work.     

Condensation metallosupramolecular polymers containing main-chain 2,2′-bipyridine and 2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine moieties

Methods of preparing diverse metallosupramolecular polymers containing 2,2′-bipyridine and 2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine moieties in main chains and their properties have been considered and analyzed.

Force fields and vibrational spectra of M2O and MOH (M = Li,Na) molecules according to data from nonempirical MO-LCAO-SCF calculations

The geometric structure, force fields, and vibrational spectra of M₂O and MOH (M=Li, Na) molecules have been investigated. The size of the d basis on the oxygen atom has a significant influence only on the frequency of the deformation vibration ₃. Experimentally unknown constants of the molecules considered have been evaluated.Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Éksperimental'naya Khimiya, Vol. 22, No. 6, pp. 724–728, November–December, 1986.     

Thermodynamics of condensation of phthalonitrile with m-phenylenediamine

Conclusions The reaction of phthalonitrile condensation with m-phenylenediamine is thermodynamically allowed at temperatures from 250° to 500°K, and its equilibrium is almost completely shifted toward the formation of the macroheterocycle.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 4, pp. 779–787, April, 1984.

Investigations in the field of depsipeptides Communication 44. Mass spectrometric study of cyclodidepsipeptides-2,5-diketomorpholines

Conclusions The fragmentation of cyclodidepsipeptides during electron impact was investigated. The nature of the hydroxy and amino acid residues contained in the 2,5-diketomorpholines can be established on the basis of the mass spectra.For the preceding Communication, see [1].Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 9, pp. 1539–1543, September, 1966.     

Hydrodynamic, electrooptical, and conformational properties of fullerene-containing poly(2-vinylpyridines) in solutions

For C₆₀ fullerene-containing poly(2-vinylpyridines) synthesized by anionic polymerization, the molecular mass and hydrodynamic size of macromolecules in solutions have been determined by molecular hydrodynamics (translational diffusion and viscometry) and electrooptics in dilute benzene and THF solutions. Under the same conditions in the molecular mass range (9.8–123) × 10³, the hydrodynamic behavior of linear poly(2-vinylpyridines) and their molecular-mass dependences have been examined and the conformational characteristics of macromolecules have been established. The branching of macromolecules has been characterized by comparing the properties of star-shaped fullerene-containing and linear poly(2-vinylpyridines). With consideration of the hydrodynamic data interpreted within the framework of regular star model, it is inferred that on average three to four linear polymer chains with a molecular mass of (8 ± 3) × 10³ for each chain are attached to a fullerene core of C₆₀ in molecules of fullerene-containing poly(2-vinylpyridines). The specific Kerr constant of fullerene-containing poly(2-vinylpyridines) in dilute benzene solution is ?(14 ± 1) × 10^?12 cm⁵/[g (300 V)²]. As evidenced by the electrooptical data, the incorporation of fullerene into the polymer weakens self-association of macromolecules in solution.
