Determination of the Constants of Binding of Acridine Dyes with Micelles of Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate Using the Quenching of Delayed Fluorescence by Heavy Atoms

The constants of binding dye molecules with the micelles of sodium dodecyl sulfate are determined using quenching of delayed fluorescence of acridine dyes by sodium iodide in aqueous–micellar solutions. Kinetic equations have been composed that describe the processes of deactivation of the excited states of dyes. By solving these equations at the concentration of the quencher sodium iodide corresponding to the minimum lifetime of triplet states and at the concentration of micelles corresponding to the least value of the delayed fluorescence quenching rate constants, we obtained the constants of binding dyes with micelles equal to 1.3·10⁷, 2.9·10⁷, and 3.1·10⁷ M^–1 for trypaflavine, acridine orange, and acridine yellow, respectively. We calculated the rate constants of quenching of the triplet states of the molecules of dyes by iodide ions (I ^–) that decreased in transition from trypaflavine to acridine orange and acridine yellow.     

Integration of the nonlinear Schroedinger equation with a self-consistent source

It is shown that the nonlinear Schroedinger equation with a self-consistent source admits investigation by the inverse scattering method for the Dirac operator. The conditions are found under which the solutions of the nonlinear Schroedinger equation with a self-consistent source describe the creation and annihilation of solitons.     

Cyclic deformation of aluminium and its alloys

The formation of slip bands is the main mechanism of cyclic deformation in pure Al. Their density, orientation and heights in polycrystalline Al were investigated during cycling. Types, sizes and densities of precipitates are responsible for the mode of cyclic deformation in AlCu4 pure alloy. In technical Al alloys intermetallic phases have detrimental effects on deformation homogeneity and largely govern the fatigue mechanism of the material and especially microcrack initiation.

Coordination Compounds of Copper(II) with Bis(5-amino-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)alkanes

Procedures for synthesis of coordination compounds of copper(II) with bis(5-amino-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)alkanes as ligands. A conclusion was drawn that the coordination polyhedron of copper(II) has different configurations depending on the structure of the ligand and on the coordination mode.     

Dipole moments of nitro derivatives of indazole

The dipole moments of indazole and a number of its nitro derivatives in dioxane solution were measured. The directions of the vectors of the dipole moments of indazole in the tautomeric 1-H and 2-H forms were determined to solve the problems associated with the tautomerism and the position of the substituents in the molecules. The experimental values of the dipole moments, of the investigated compounds were compared with the values calculated via a vector additive scheme. As a result it was shown that the mononitro and dinitro derivatives of indazole exist primarily in the 1-H tautomeric form, whereas the trinitro and tetranitroindazoles exist in the 2-H tautomeric form. The ratios of the isomers were calculated for compounds that have dipole moments intermediate between the 1-H and 2-H forms. A deviation between the experimental and calculated dipole moments of compounds containing two nitro groups in the ortho position was established; this may be explained by disruption of the coplanarity of the molecules or by deviation from additivity because of the introduction of strong electron-acceptor substituents.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 12, pp. 1669–1671, December, 1977.     

Interaction of Nitromethane with Modified Paramagnetic Defects on a Thermochemically Activated Silica Surface

It was found that the interaction of the modified paramagnetic defects SiO(CH₂) _n H₂ (n = 0.1) with nitromethane on a thermochemically activated silica surface at 300 K results in the formation of the following nitroxyl radicals: SiO(CH₂) _n CH₂ON( )CH₃ and SiO(CH₂) _n CH₂N( )CH₃. It was suggested that these radicals are the products of two different reactions of the modified paramagnetic defects: the first results from a reaction with free nitromethane; the second, from a reaction with nitromethane bound as complexes with diamagnetic surface defects.     

Enhancement of activated decay of metastable states by resonant pumping

We consider the effect of a high-frequency pumping cost on the escape rate of a classical underdamped Brownian particle out of a deep potential well. The energy dependence of the oscillation frequency(E) is assumed to be weak on the scale of thermal energy,_E(0)T(0)T/V₀ (0)[_E(0) is the derivative of(E) atE= 0,V ₀ is the barrier height,V ₀ T]. The quadratic-in- contribution to the decay rate is calculated in two different regimes: (1) for the case of resonance of the pumping frequency with the nth harmonic of the internal motion at an energye, when = n(e); (2) for a rollout region of the basic resonance near the bottom of the potential well, when ¦-(0)¦ and is the damping coefficient. In the latter case the absorption spectrum and the enhancement of the decay rate are calculated as functions of two reduced parameters, the anharmonicity of the potential,v _E (0)T/, and the resonance mismatch, [ —(0)]/. It is shown that the effect of the pumping increases with diminishing ¦v¦ and at small v is proportional tov ^–1. In this regime, the dependence on is stepwise: the pumping contribution is large for v > 0 and small for v < 0. In the frame of our theory, the decay rate is invariant against the simultaneous alternation of the signs of andv. The spectrum of the energy absorption has the standard Lorentzian shape in the absence of anharmonicity,v=0, and with increasing of ¦v¦ shifts and widens retaining its bell-shape form.     

Interactions of aliphatic β-amino-β-trifluoromethylvinyl ketones with ethylenediamine
