Analysis of thermal desorption spectra of oxygen desorbed from rhodium

Thermal desorption spectra of oxygen desorbed from rhodium have been analyzed in terms of models accounting for the effect of lateral interactions between adsorbed particles and of their diffusion into the bulk of metal on the desorption kinetics of O₂. Complex configuration of these spectra is ascribed to the processes of formation/decomposition of surface Rh oxides and the diffusion of particles into the near-surface layers of metal and back to the surface.

Steroid compounds of marine sponges. VII. Preparation of derivatives of sokotrasterol and halistanol sulfates and structure-activity interrelationships among these compounds

Five new sulfated derivatives of sokotrasterol and halistanol have been obtained: 24-nor-5-cholane-2,3,6,23-tetraol 2,3,6-tri(sodium sulfate); 24-nor-5-cholane-2,3,6,23-tetraol 2,3,6-tri(sodium sulfate) 23-palmitate; 24,25-dimethyl-5-cholestane-2,3,6-triol 3-(sodium sulfate); 24,25-dimethyl-5-cholestane-2,3,6-triol 6-(sodium sulfate); and 24,25-dimethyl-5-cholestane-2,3,6-triol 2,6-di(sodium sulfate). The inhibiting and membranolytic properties of the polysulfated steroids from sponges and their derivatives have been studied. It has been shown that physiological activity in this series of compounds depends on biphilicity.Pacific Ocean Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry, Far Eastern Scientific Center, Academy of Sciences of the USSR, Vladivostok.

Thermal decomposition of doped ammonium perchlorate

Isothermal decomposition of orthorhombic ammonium perchlorate (AP) has been studied as a function of concentration of the dopants, SO ₄ ^2– and PO ₄ ^3– . In either case, the rate of decomposition passes through a maximum as the dopant concentration increases. Activation energy of the decomposition process remains unaltered by doping. The results are interpreted in terms of electron transfer mechanism.

Zusammenfassung Die isotherme Zersetzung von orthorhombischen Ammoniumperchlorat (AP) wurde in Abhängigkeit von der Konzentration der Dopanten SO ₄ ^2– und PO ₄ ^3– untersucht. In jedem Falle geht die Geschwindigkeit der Zersetzung mit steigender Dopantenkonzentration durch ein Maximum. Die Aktivierungsenergie des Zersetzungsprozesses wird durch dopen nicht verändert. Die Ergebnisse werden auf einem Elektronentransfer-Mechanismus basierend interpretiert.

Alkaloids of the Monolian flora. IV. Turcosine — A new alkaloid from Aconitum turczaninowi

As the result of a further study of the total alkaloids from the epigeal part ofAconitum turczaninowi we have isolated beiwutine and delcaroline and also a new alkaloid, which has been called turcosine. The structure of turcosine as 6,16-dimethoxy-4-methoxymethyl-1,7,8,10,14-pentahydroxy-N-ethylaconitane has been shown from a study of the IR, mass, PMR, and¹³C NMR spectra of the alkaloid and of the triacetate obtained from it.Institute of Chemistry, Mongolian People's Republic Academy of Sciences.

Hydrogenation of xylenes over supported Pt catalysts. Influence of different variables on their catalytic activity

In this work we studied and compared the catalytic activity of various supported Pt systems on the gas-phase hydrogenation of o-, m- and p-xylene. We analyzed the influence of different catalyst preparation variables (solvent, precursor, salt, support and catalyst reduction temperature used) on the catalytic activity and selectivity towards the corresponding cis-and trans-dimethylcyclohexanes.

Hydrogenolysis of 3-methylpentane over group VIII metals

Determination of the fragmentation factor in a wide conversion range over Group VIII metals and Re indicated that the single character of the hydrogenolysis of 3-methylpentane is an inherent property of the catalyst and is almost independent of the conversion level. Multiple hydrogenolysis occurs in most cases as rapid subsequent terminal splitting.

Studies of Cu?Ni supported catalysts for enantioselective hydrogenation

The effect of support content and composition of supported metal phase on the crystallite size, phase composition and catalytic properties of supported Ni and Cu–Ni catalysts has been investigated. It has been established that with increasing metal content, crystallite sizes and enantioselectivity increase. Copper added to Ni catalysts decreases metal phase dispersity and enantioselectivity.

Hexadiene formation during decomposition of 2-propanol over Ca?P?O catalysts

Hexadiene formation from 2-propanol was investigated in view of acid-base properties of Ca–P–O catalysts with the Ca/P atomic ratio varying from 1.5 to 5.0. The catalytic activity in hexadiene formation increased up to a maximum at Ca/P=2.0, having almost the same amount of weak acidic sites as weak basic sites, and decreased with futher increase in Ca/P ratio.
