Beryllium (boron) clustering quest in relativistic multifragmentation (BECQUEREL Project)

A physical program of irradiation of emulsions in beams of relativistic nuclei named the BECQUEREL Project is reviewed. It is destined to study in detail the processes of relativistic fragmentation of light radioactive and stable nuclei. The expected results would make it possible to answer some topical questions concerning the cluster structure of light nuclei. Owing to the best spatial resolution, the nuclear emulsions would enable one to obtain unique and evident results. The most important irradiations will be performed in the secondary beams of He, Be, B, C, and N radioactive nuclei formed on the basis of JINR Nuclotron beams of stable nuclei. We present results on the charged state topology of relativistic fragmentation of the ¹⁰B nucleus at low energy-momentum transfers as the first step of the research.     

Investigation of clustering in light nuclei by means of relativistic-multifragmentation processes

New results concerning the topology of the fragmentation of relativistic nuclei ⁷Li and ¹⁰B are presented. A program is proposed for studying the cluster structure of stable and radioactive nuclei. The use of emulsions in the investigation of nuclear clustering in the fragmentation of light nuclei at energies are in excess of 1 GeV per nucleon is discussed.     

Association of Formaldehyde in Aqueous-Alcoholic Systems

In the neutral systems formaldehyde-water-alcohol (methanol, ethanol, ethylene glycol) at 25°C, formaldehyde is preferentially present as hemiacetals. The mean equilibrium constants of step polycondensation of formaldehyde are calculated.     

Effect of the Heterocyclic Ligand in Iron Porphyrinate Complex on the Strength of the Bond Between Iron and CO Molecule

The geometry and the electronic structure of iron porphyrinate complexes with various heterocyclic molecules in the fifth coordination position and a CO molecule in the sixth position were studied by density functional theory calculations. In the series of complexes with furan, imidazole, and pyrimidine, the bond between the Fe atom and CO is weakened due to the decrease in the overlap of the corresponding AOs.     

Determination of metal traces in tantalum by proton activation analysis

Procedures for determining traces of calcium, titanium, vanadium, chromium, iron, copper, niobium, molybdenum and tungsten in tantalum are described utilizing 11 MeV proton activation. The instrumental method of analysis with the use of a Ge(Li) detector and the radiochemical separation of the corresponding fractions are described. The formula for the calculation of the concentration of traces with the use of thick target yields is given. Experimental data on the thick target yields of radioisotopes⁴⁴Sc,⁵²Mn,⁵⁶Co,⁶⁵Zn,^93mMo,⁹⁶Tc are presented. Based on the experimental data, the detection limits are estimated at 1–10 ppb for the above mentioned metal traces in tantalum. The successful solution of the task of the simultaneous determination of nine elements in tantalum confirms the wide applicability of proton activation analysis.     

Formation of Cyclic Oligomers in Concentrated Aqueous Solutions of Formaldehyde

An MNDO calculation gave the formation enthalpies of the components of equilibrium mixtures in concentrated aqueous acid solutions of formaldehyde. The results of this study suggest that intramolecular cyclization of linear oligomers with 5 and 9 CH₂O units, respectively, is the most plausible mechanism of formation of cyclic oligomers of formaldehyde — trioxane and tetraoxane. Ring protonation by the hydroxonium ion with ring opening is the most energetically favorable route of cyclic acetal decomposition.     

Kinetic resolution of heterocyclic amines by reaction with optically active acid chlorides. The effect of reaction conditions on the diastereoselectivity of acylation of (±)-3-methyl-2,3-dihydro-4H-1,4-benzoxazine

The influence of the reaction conditions (solvent, base) on the diastereoselectivity of acylation of (±)-3-methyl-2,3-dihydro-4H-1,4-benzoxazine with (S)-naproxen and N-tosyl-(S)-proline chlorides was studied. The highest diastereoselectivity was observed for the reaction carried out in benzene in the presence of aliphatic tertiary amines.
