Volumetric Properties for Binary Mixtures of Nonane + Decane at Temperatures from <Emphasis Type="Italic">T</Emphasis>=283.15 to 353.15 K and at <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>=0.7 atm

Densities of the binary mixture of nonane with decane were measured at temperatures from 283.15 to 353.15 K at atmospheric pressure (0.7 atm). Measurements have been made over the full range of compositions and for the pure compounds by using a vibrating-tube densimeter (VTD). Excess molar volumes have been obtained from these experimental results and were fitted to a Redlich–Kister type expansion. The excess molar volumes exhibit small positive and small negative deviations from ideal behavior in the temperature interval studied. Partial molar volumes and partial molar volumes at infinite dilution have been determined for each component.     

Characteristics of the hydrogen bond and the structure of Н-complexes of <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-n-propyloxybenzoic acid and <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-n-propyloxy-<Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>′-cyanobiphenyl

The conformational properties of p-n-propyloxybenzoic acid and p-n-propyloxy-p′-cyanobiphenyl molecules, which can exhibit liquid crystalline properties in the formation of Н-complexes, are studied (DFT/B3LYP)/cc-pVTZ method). It is found that a molecule of p-n-propyloxybenzoic acid has 16 conformers that can be divided into four groups with respect to relative energies (0 kcal/mol, 1.6 kcal/mol, 6.5 kcal/mol, and 8.1 kcal/mol), and a molecule of p-n-propyloxy-p′-cyanobiphenyl has six conformers with relative energies of 0 kcal/mol (two conformers, φ(С_Ph–O–C–C)=180°) and 1.6 kcal/mol (four conformers, φ(С_Ph–O–C–C)=64.4°). In all conformers of the 3-AOCB molecule, phenyl rings are turned at 35° relative to each other. A conformation with the planar arrangement of two rings has a higher energy by 1.5 kcal/mol. Barriers to the internal rotation of different groups are determined and it is established that the structural nonrigidity of the molecules is mainly due to the possible rotation of the–C₂Н₅ moiety about the C–C bond. It is shown that with increasing temperature the vibrational amplitudes of the OC₃H₇ substituent, which enhance the probabilities of transitions between the conformers, become appreciably larger. It is found that p-n-propyloxybenzoic acid and p-n-propyloxy-p′-cyanobiphenyl can form Н-complexes with the medium hydrogen bond. Two types of the structural organization of Н-complexes are considered: linear and angular. The similarity of energies of Н-complexes with different structures (NBO analysis) can be the reason for the occurrence of two liquid crystalline subphases of p-n-propyloxybenzoic acid and p-n-propyloxy-p′-cyanobiphenyl system.     

Computer models of eutectic-type <Emphasis Type="Italic">T</Emphasis>–<Emphasis Type="Italic">x</Emphasis>–<Emphasis Type="Italic">y</Emphasis> diagrams with allotropy

Using the eutectic-type T–x–y diagram as an example, it can be represented the analysis of its geometrical construction dependence on the temperature of a component two polymorphous modifications which participate in mono- and invariant metatectic and invariant eutectic (eutectoid) transformations above or below (and within) binary eutectics temperature intervals and below a ternary eutectic temperature. Computer models for considered phase diagrams have been designed. Such models help to solve applied tasks like visualization, isopleths and isothermal sections decoding, mass balances calculation and evaluation of phase and conglomerate concentration in microstructure.     

Crystallization and Simulation Studies in <Emphasis Type="Italic">m</Emphasis>-Dinitrobenzene–<Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-Chloroaniline Eutectic System

Thaw-melt method showed that the phase diagram of m-dinitrobenzene (m-DNB)–p-chloroaniline (p-CA) system belongs to simple eutectic type. The kinetics of solidification followed Hillig and Turnbull’s equation. Excess thermodynamic functions and FT-IR spectral studies indicated some weak interaction between the component molecules in the eutectic. The mechanical strength of the eutectic was found to be higher than those of its components. Molecular stability was predicted on the basis of frontier molecular orbital analysis. The value was found to be 0.06073 a.u. for eutectic, indicating. the possibility of charge transfer interaction during the eutectic formation. Results showed that the eutectic is stabilized by hydrogen-bond formation. Calculated interaction energy of reactants and eutectic was found to be–17.4 kJ mol^–1.

Directed Aminomethylation of Pyrrole,Indole, and Carbazole with <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>,<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>,<Emphasis Type="Italic">N′</Emphasis>,<Emphasis Type="Italic">N′</Emphasis>-Tetramethylmethanediamine

Catalytic aminomethylation of pyrrole and indole with N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylmethanediamine in the presence of 5 mol % of ZrOCl₂·8H₂O proceeds selectively at the positions 2, 5 of pyrrole and 1, 3 of indole. Carbazole under the same conditions affords 3-formyl-9-aminomethyl derivative. The reaction in the presence of 5 mol % of K₂CO₃ occurs as monoaminomethylation: for pyrrole at the position 2, for indole at the position 3, and for carbazole at the nitrogen atom of the substrate. Water-soluble 1,1′-(1H-pyrrole-2,5-diyl)bis(N,N-dimethylmethanamine) exhibits a fungistatic activity with respect to phytopathogenic fungi Rhizoctonia solani.

Densities of sodium nitrobenzoate (o-, m-, p-) have been measured in dimethylformamide (DMF)–water mixtures at 298.15 K with an oscillating-tube densimeter. From these densities, apparent molar volumes of sodium nitrobenzoate in DMF–H₂O-mixtures have been calculated and partial molar volumes at infinite dilution have been evaluated. Substituent and solvent effects on the transfer volumes of each isomer from water to DMF–H₂O-mixed solvents have also been obtained. The results are explained in terms of solvent–solvent and solute–solvent interactions.

The synthesis, IR spectroscopic study, and X-ray diffraction analysis (CIF file CCDC no. 1574078) are carried out for 1,3-diamino-2-hydroxypropane-N,N,N′,N′-tetraacetic acid (I). The structural units of a crystal of compound I are (H_4.5HPdta)^0.5– anions, (H_5.5HPdta)^0.5+ cations, and molecules of water of crystallization joined by a branched network of hydrogen bonds: strong intermolecular O–H…O and intramolecular N–H…O bonds.     

Spectroscopic and electrical characterization of <Emphasis Type="Italic">α</Emphasis>,<Emphasis Type="Italic">γ</Emphasis>-bisdiphenylene-<Emphasis Type="Italic">β</Emphasis>-phenylallyl radical as an organic semiconductor

The semiconductor properties of the earliest known stable radical, α,γ-bisdiphenylene-β-phenylallyl radical (Koelsch radical, 1^?) were assessed using spectroscopic and electrical techniques. This radical undergoes reversible redox processes, and it has low redox potentials. In addition, 1^? possesses long wavelength absorption bands, owing to the existence of a singly-occupied molecular orbital whose energy level lies between those of the HOMO and LUMO. A spin-coated thin-film of 1^? displays photocurrent and an electron mobility of 6.3 × 10^?7 cm² V^?1 s^?1 on a trially-fabricated organic field effect transistor.     

Synthesis of 20<Emphasis Type="Italic">S</Emphasis>-protopanaxadiol <Emphasis Type="Italic">β</Emphasis>-D-galactopyranosides

20S-Protopanaxadiol (3β,12β,20S-trihydroxydammar-24-ene) 3-, 12-, and 20-O-β-D-galactopyranosides were synthesized for the first time. Condensation of 12β-acetoxy-3β,20S-dihydroxydammar-24-ene (1) and 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-α-D-galactopyranosylbromide (α-acetobromogalactose) (2) under Koenigs–Knorr conditions with subsequent removal of the protecting groups resulted in regio- and stereoselective formation of 20S-protopanaxadiol 3-O-β-D-galactopyranoside, an analog of the natural ginsenoside Rh₂. Glycosylation of 12β,20S-dihydroxydammar-24-en-3-one (5) by 2 with subsequent treatment of the reaction products with NaBH₄ in isopropanol and deacetylation with NaOMe gave 20S-protopanaxadiol 12- and 20-O-β-Dgalactopyranosides.

<Emphasis Type="Italic">β</Emphasis>-Chloro-<Emphasis Type="Italic">α</Emphasis>,<Emphasis Type="Italic">β</Emphasis>-unsaturated carbonyls as convenient precursors of highly substituted benzenes

The Diels–Alder reactions of three β-chloro-α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds 1–3 with different dienes were carried out to afford highly functionalized cyclohexenes 4–9, bearing quaternary centers, in good yields. These cycloadducts (CAs) undergo dehydrochlorination with subsequent aromatization in the presence of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene DBU to produce new substituted benzenes 11–14. Compound 10 is the product of lactonization and removal of an HCl molecule from compound 7. All products were characterized by NMR, IR, elementary analysis and some of them by MS. Structure assignments of isomers were carried out on the basis of NMR chemical shifts and coupling constants using 1D, 2D and heteronOe NMR techniques.     

Application of silica-supported Fe–Cu nanoparticles in the selective hydrogenation of <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-dinitrobenzene to <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-phenylenediamine

Supported bimetallic Fe–Cu/SiO₂ materials are synthesized, and their catalytic activity in hydrogenation of dinitrobenzene to phenylenediamine at 145–180°С and 1.3 MPa hydrogen pressure is studied for the first time. The best results (89% selectivity toward _p-phenylenediamine at complete conversion of _p-dinitrobenzene) are obtained for the sample synthesized via co-deposition with subsequent calcination at 300°С. The sample contains 7% iron and 3% copper. The formation of separate phases of metal oxides (for the catalysts prepared by impregnation) and mixed bimetallic oxide phases (in case of co-deposition procedure) in calcined samples is revealed via thermoprogrammed reduction with hydrogen.

Thermophysical properties of <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>,<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-dimеthylacetamide mixtures with <Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>-butanol

The refraction, dielectric, viscosity, density, data of the binary mixtures of N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMA) with n-butanol at 308.15 and 313.15 K. The measured parameters used to obtain derived properties like Bruggeman factor, molar refraction and excess static dielectric constant, excess inverse relaxation time, excess molar volume and excess viscosity, excess molar refraction. The variation in magnitude with composition and temperature of these quantities has been used to discuss the type, strength and nature of binary interactions. Results confirm that there are strong hydrogen-bond interactions between unlike molecules of DMA+ n-butanol mixtures and that 1: 1 complexes are formed and strength of intermolecular interaction increases with temperature.
