The Ramsey property for graphs with forbidden complete subgraphs

The following theorem is proved: Let G be a finite graph with cl(G) = m, where cl(G) is the maximum size of a clique in G. Then for any integer r ≥ 1, there is a finite graph H, also with cl(H) = m, such that if the edges of H are r-colored in any way, then H contains an induced subgraph G′ isomorphic to G with all its edges the same color.

Unusual demethylation of 1-dimethylamine-1-carba-closo-dodecarbonate(11)

1-Dimethylamine-1-carba-closo-dodecaborane(1), 1-(CH₃)₂NH-1-CB₁₁H₁₁, can be smoothly demethylated with iodine in weakly alkaline solution to produce 1-methylamine-1-carba-closo-dodecarborane(11), 1-CH₃NH₂-1-CB₁₁H₁₁. The latter compound undergoes formylation with formaldehyde and iodine to give 1-hydroxymethylene-methylamine-1-carba-closo-dodecaborane(11). Further chemical transformations of both compounds are reported.     

Laser ablation of lithium and lithium/cadmium alloy studied by time-of-flight mass spectrometry

Ablation of solid lithium and lithium/cadmium alloy was performed by a 308-nm, nanosecond excimer laser. Analysis of the atomic and molecular composition of the plume in vacuum and in nitrogen atmosphere was performed by means of a linear time-of-flight mass spectrometer. Several ionic masses were observed and systematically studied with respect to the laser fluence, laser beam spot size, background pressure, and target composition. PACS 52.38.Mf; 52.50.Jm; 82.80.Rt
