Structure and properties of nonclassical polymers

Utilizing an extended Hubbard-type Hamiltonian which incorporates both nearest-neighbour Coulomb repulsion and exchange interactions, we have studied the energy dispersion of the lowest elementary excitation from the ferromagnetically aligned state of quasi one-dimensional alternant hydrocarbon networks. It was found that the main effect of the long range Coulomb interaction may be thought of as a renormalization (screening) of the on-site Hubbard integral. This implies an enhancement of the kinetic exchange term and impairs the stability of the ferromagnetic state towards single spin inversions. However, for physically relevant values of the parameters entering the model Hamiltonian, the collective spin excitation represents a magnon, whose energy band lies above the reference value pertaining to the magnetically saturated configuration.Dedicated to Prof. Dr. Adolf Neckel on the occasion of his 60th birthday     

Preparation des reactifs organolithiens a partir des acides ω-cyanocarboxyliques dans l'ammoniac liquide

By treating ω-cyanocarboxylic acids with lithium amide in liquid ammonia, salts, of the type [NCCH(CH₂)_nCOOLi]Li are prepared. The formation of these salts is confirmed by their reaction with N-benzolydiphenylketimine and benzophenone to give ω-diarlylate, ω-benzoylamino- and ω-hydroxy-ψ-cyanocarboxylic acids respectively.     

2,5-Dihydro-1,2-oxaphosphole Derivatives in the Reaction of 3,3-Disubstituted Allenylphosphonic Amidoesters with Electrophilic Reagents

Abstract

The reaction of 3,3-disubstituted allenylphosphonic amidoesters with halogenes, sulfenyl and selenenylchlorides proceeds with five-membered heterocyclization and formation of 2-N,N-dialkylamino-2,5-dihydro-1,2-oxaphosphole 2-oxides:     

Oxidative-Rearrangement Reactions of σ3, λ3 Dialkyl(Silylamino)Phosphines with Chlorophosphines; Formation of a P–P Bond Via a New Road to Phosphinophosphoranimines

Abstract:

Chlorophosphines react with trivalent (silylamino)phosphines via a direct oxidative addition process with elimination of trimethyl silyl chloride to produce phosphino-phosphoranimines with concomitant formation of a P-P bond. Oxidation of the phosphine center with sulfur and an exchange transformation of the phosphine are discussed.     

Potassium Fluoride Promoted Reaction of 3-Acylsubsti-Tuted 2H-1-Benzopyran-2-Ones with Acid Anhydrides. An Improved Method for the Synthesis of 4-(2-Oxoalkyl)-2H-Chroman-2-Ones. Part III1

The reaction of 3-acylsubstituted 2H-1-benzo-pyran-2-ones 1, 5 and 11a-c with acid anhydrides in the presence of potassium fluoride (KF)/molecular sieves 4A gives the 4-(2-oxoalkyl)-2-oxochromans 2, 6 and 12a-c as the main products. Also the 3-carboxylic acid derivatives, such as esters and N,N-dialkylamides, of 2H-1-benzopyran-2-one (11d-g) react with isobutyric acid anhydride in the presence of KF/molecular sieves 4A to give the corresponding 2-oxochroman-4-acetic acid derivatives.     

Die Algebra des Isotopen Spins (3/2, 1/2)

Zusammenfassung Alle irreduziblen Systeme von n hermitischen Matrizen _j, die den zyklischen Vertauschungsrelationen dritten Grades (s. Gl. (14)) genügen, werden explizite aufgefunden. Es zeigt sich insbesondere, dass bei n=3nur zwei solche nichttriviale Lösungen existieren, eine sechsreihige und eine vierreihige. Die erste ist mit dem von Votruba und Lokajíek zwecks Beschreibung des Verhaltens des isotopen Spins des Nukleons eingeführten Matrixsystem äquivalent. Die zweite Lösung erfüllt zugleich auch die Kemmerschen Relationen. Für jedes n>3gibt es nur je eine nichttriviale Lösung, nämlich die Kemmersche von der Ordnung N=n+1.     

Asymmetric lateral inhibitory neural activity in the auditory system: a magnetoencephalographic study

Background  

Decrements of auditory evoked responses elicited by repeatedly presented sounds with similar frequencies have been well investigated by means of electroencephalography and magnetoencephalography (MEG). However the possible inhibitory interactions between different neuronal populations remains poorly understood. In the present study, we investigated the effect of proceeding notch-filtered noises (NFNs) with different frequency spectra on a following test tone using MEG.     

Precipitates originating from tungsten crucible parts in AlN bulk crystals grown by the PVT method

In order to evaluate the possible involvement of crucible materials in the growth of AlN bulk crystals grown by physical vapor transport, we applied growth conditions with a high vertical thermal gradient and hence high supersaturation of aluminum vapor. Under these conditions, precipitates formed causing diffuse grayish substructures at the initial growth interface and in the crystal body, decorating dislocations. Electron microscopy studies revealed that the precipitates are elongated, single‐phase particles with sizes of 50–500 nm of commensurate structure, oriented along the <110> direction. Chemical analysis of the precipitates showed tungsten as well as carbon and oxygen. The lattice parameters of the precipitates are in close agreement to hexagonal tungsten hemicarbide (W₂C). The possible transport from the tungsten parts and its conversion into tungsten hemicarbide precipitates is discussed. We thus conclude that the W₂C precipitates may contribute to the decoration of dislocations, even in growth with moderate thermal gradients.
