Spectrophotometric determination of ruthenium(III) using diphenylcarbazone

Summary The purple violet ruthenium(III)-diphenylcarbazone complex which is formed at p _h 5–7, and has an absorption maximum at 530 nm with molar absorption coefficient 16.2·10⁴l.cm^–1.mole^–1 is suggested for the estimation of 20–125g ruthenium(III) spectrophotometrically in 30–60% ethanol. The complex is stable over p _h range 3.2–8.4. The limits of interference due to foreign ions have been studied.

Synthesis and characterization of square-planar palladium(II) complexes containing anti- and syn-furan-2-aldoxime

Summary Fifteen palladium(II) square-planar complexes containing monodentate and/or bidentate anti- and syn-furan-2-aldoxime (FDH) have been isolated and characterized by elemental analysis, molecular weight determination, conductance studies, magnetic moments and i.r. spectral studies. The monodentate ligand coordinates through the nitrogen atom while the bidentate ligand coordinates through the furan oxygen atom and the nitrogen atom. The C-O-C stretching frequency of the furan ring may be taken as the criterion for the denticity of this ligand and is observed at 1240 and 1270 cm^– in anti- and syn-furan-2-aldoxime respectively. A shift to lower frequency occurs (in the complex) if the ligand is bidentate, however this frequency is unaffected if the ligand is monodentate.     

BF3·Et2O and trifluoroacetic acid/triethyl amine-mediated synthesis of functionalized piperidines

A two-step short and efficient strategy for the synthesis of substituted piperidones and piperidines in high diastereoselectivity (only trans-configuration), by employing cascade type reaction using BF₃·Et₂O or by carrying out one pot deprotection of ^tBoc group followed by intramolecular aza-Michael addition of α,β-unsaturated beta keto esters has been developed. Using a similar strategy a short access to hydroxy pipecolic acid is also described. Very simple and rapid experimental procedures involving mild conditions and only one or two chromatographic purifications are the main features of the process.     

Shielded suspended dielectric guide

The dispersion characteristics of a shielded suspended dielectric are computed using mode matching technique. From the dispersion characteristics the dielectric and conductor loss, quality factor and wave impedances are derived. The dimensions of shielded suspended dielectric are same as that of a rectangular metallic wave guide at K_a band.     

Search for Randall-Sundrum gravitons in dilepton and diphoton final states

We report the first direct search for the Kaluza-Klein (KK) modes of Randall-Sundrum gravitons using dielectron, dimuon, and diphoton events observed with the D0 detector operating at the Fermilab Tevatron pp(-) Collider at sqrt[s]=1.96 TeV. No evidence for resonant production of gravitons has been found in the data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of approximately equal to 260 pb(-1). Lower limits on the mass of the first KK mode at the 95% C.L. have been set between 250 and 785 GeV, depending on its coupling to standard model particles.
