Highly Proton-Conductive Zinc Metal-Organic Framework Based On Nickel(II) Porphyrinylphosphonate

The design of new solid-state proton-conducting materials is a great challenge for chemistry and materials science. Herein, a new anionic porphyrinylphosphonate-based MOF ( IPCE-1Ni ), which involves dimethylammonium (DMA) cations for charge compensation, is reported. As a result of its unique structure, IPCE-1Ni exhibits one of the highest value of the proton conductivity among reported proton-conducting MOF materials based on porphyrins (1.55×10⁻³ S cm⁻¹ at 75 °C and 80 % relative humidity).     

Local structure of Gd<Superscript>3+</Superscript> and Eu<Superscript>2+</Superscript> impurity centers in a CdF<Subscript>2</Subscript> crystal

The local crystal structure of Gd³⁺ and Eu²⁺ cubic impurity centers in cadmium fluoride is calculated within the shell model in the pair potential approximation. The local compressibility of the cationic and anionic sublattices of the host lattice is determined in the vicinity of the Gd³⁺ (Eu²⁺) impurity ion.     

The structure of mixed fluorides Ca1?xSrxF2 and Sr1?xBaxF2 and the luminescence of Eu2+ in these crystals

The structure of the mixed fluorites Ca_1−x Sr_xF₂ and Sr_1−x Ba_xF₂, as well as the structure of the Eu²⁺ impurity center in these crystals, is calculated within the framework of the virtual-crystal method realized in the shell model and pair-potential approximation. The phenomenological dependence of the position of the lower level of the 4f ⁶5d configuration of the Eu²⁺ ion on distance to the Eu²⁺-ligand is derived. The dependences of the Stokes shift and the Huang-Rhys factor on x are calculated for the yellow luminescence in Sr_1−x Ba_xF₂:Eu²⁺. The value of x at which the lower level of the 4f ⁶5d configuration of the Eu²⁺ ion in Sr_1−x Ba_xF₂:Eu²⁺ falls within the conduction band is found. __________ Translated from Fizika Tverdogo Tela, Vol. 45, No. 5, 2003, pp. 823–826.

Liquid-phase chlorination ofC-chlorovinylsilanes

Liquid-phase chlorination of a number of chloro(chlorovinyl)methylsilanes was investigated. A number of novelC-chlorosilanes were characterized by IR and¹H NMR spectra. Some regularities of these reactions were determined; correlations between the structure of chloro(chlorovinyl)methylsilanes and their reactivities were identified.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Structure and reactivity of 2-methyl-9-hydroxy-4H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4-one

It has been shown that the alkylation of 2-methyl-9-hydroxy-4H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4-one takes place at the oxygen atom, but electrophilic substitution takes place mainly at position 8 of the molecule (the ortho position relative to the hydroxy group).Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 12, pp. 1660–1666, December, 1992.     

Different modes of alkaline hydrolysis of fervenulin and isofervenulin

Unlike rheumycin and fervenulin, isofervenulin and 3-methylisofervenulin are hydrolyzed by aqueous alkalies at the N₍₅₎-C₍₆₎ bond. On acidification of the reaction mixture, the N-carboxy-N-methylcarbamoyltriazines formed are reconverted into the starting isofervenulins, and on basification (pH>10) into methylaminotriazinecarboxamides. A by-product of the alkaline hydrolysis of isofervenulin is a product of the contraction of the uracil ring, namely imidazotriazinone-7a-carboxylic acid.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 11, pp. 1555–1559, November, 1987.     

Mechanism of the Reaction of Xenon Tetraoxide with Hydrogen: A Photochemical Reaction

The dependence of the rate of a photochemical reaction of XeO₄with H₂on the concentrations of H₂and the diluent gases He and CO₂is studied at room temperature. The results are compared with the data for the dark reaction. A mechanism with the elementary energetic branched-chain reaction OH (v) + XeO₄OH + O + XeO₃is proposed to explain the results of the study.
