Journal of Structural Chemistry - The structures of Ni(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II) complexes with anions of 2,5-pyrrolyl-disubstituted nitronyl nitroxide (L1) and iminonitroxide (L2) diradicals (HL1 is...     

Click chemistry in materials synthesis. III. Metal‐adhesive polymers from Cu(I)‐catalyzed azide–alkyne cycloaddition

1,2,3‐Triazole‐based polymers generated from the Cu(I)‐catalyzed cycloaddition between multivalent azides and acetylenes are effective adhesive materials for metal surfaces. The adhesive capacities of candidate mixtures of azide and alkyne components were measured by a modified peel test, using a customized adhesive tester. A particularly effective tetravalent alkyne and trivalent azide combination was identified, giving exceptional strength that matches or exceeds the best commercial formulations. The addition of Cu catalyst was found to be important for the synthesis of stronger adhesive polymers when cured at room temperature. Heating also accelerated curing rates, but the maximum adhesive strengths achieved at both room temperature and high temperature were the same, suggesting that crosslinking reaches the same advanced point in all cases. Polytriazoles also form adhesives to aluminum, but copper is bound more effectively, presumably because active Cu(I) ions may be leached from the surface to promote crosslinking and adhesion. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Phonon scattering from the boundaries of small crystals embedded in a dielectric porous-glass matrix

The thermal conductivity of porous glass with randomly distributed connecting pores ～70 Å in size (glass porosity ～25%), as well as of a porous glass + NaCl composite, was measured in the temperature range 5–300 K. NaCl filled one fourth of the pores in the composite. The experimental results on the composite thermal conductivity can be accounted for only by assuming that phonons scatter from the boundaries of NaCl nanocrystals embedded in channels of the porous glass.     

Reaction of chlorine fluosulfate with fluorinated alcohols and some properties of polyfluoroalkyl hypochlorites

Conclusions Stable ,-dihydropolyfluoroalkyl hypochlorites were obtained by reacting ClOSO₂F with fluorinated alcohols, and some of their chemical properties were studied.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 10, pp. 2369–2374, October, 1980.     

Reaction of nitronium fluosulfate with fluoroolefins

Conclusions We were the first to add nitronium fluosulfate to the multiple bond of fluoroolefins to give the corresponding fluorinated -nitroalkyl fluosulfates. The theory was expressed that the electrophilic mechanism applies to the given process.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 6, pp. 1437–1441, June, 1983.     

Hydrogenation of fullerites in the presence of intermetallic compounds or metals

Fullerene hydrides containing 24–26 H atoms per fullerene molecule were obtained by hydrogenation of solid-phase mixtures of fullerenes with either intermetallic compounds LaNi₅, LaNi_4.65Mn_0.35, CeCo₃ or V and Pd metals with gaseous hydrogen at 1.0–2.5 MPa and 573–673 K. These fullerene hydrides decompose at 800 K with evolution of H₂. Upon subsequent heating to 1000 K, vanadium reacts with fullerene to yield a cubic phase of vanadium carbide. The intermetallic compounds react with fullerene with the formation of a metallic phase of the 3d-metal and destruction of fullerene. Palladium does not react with fullerene.
