Synthesis of 1,3-diazapyrenes and 1,3,7-triazapyrenes by the reaction of 1,8-naphthalenediamine with triazine in the presence of carbonyl compounds or benzonitrile in polyphosphoric acid

A novel three-component synthesis has been developed for 1,3-diazapyrenes based on the reaction of 1,8-naphthalenediamine with triazine and carbonyl compounds in polyphosphoric acid (PPA). The use of benzonitrile in place of the carbonyl compounds in this reaction gives 6-phenyl-1,3,7-triazapyrenes. Dedicated to one of the best Russian chemists A. F. Pozharskii on his 70th jubilee.

Structure of pluronic F-127 and its tetraphenylporphyrin complexes: X-ray diffraction study

The structure of pluronic F-127 and its complexes with tetraphenylporphyrin has been studied by SAXS and WAXS techniques. It has been shown that the samples prepared via evaporation of chloroform and aqueous solutions of pluronic and its mixtures with tetraphenylporphyrin have a semicrystalline layered structure with the crystalline phase composed of poly(ethylene oxide). The identity period of layers in the samples prepared from the aqueous solution of pluronic has been found to be larger than that in the samples prepared from chloroform solutions of the polymer. This result may apparently be explained by a more pronounced hydration of the samples prepared by the former method. The presence of tetraphenylporphyrin in the samples has an insignificant effect on the parameters of the crystalline and layered structures of pluronic. When the tetraphenylporphyrin content is not larger than its solubilization limit with pluronic, tetraphenylporphyrin concentrates in the amorphous layers of pluronic in the noncrystalline finely dispersed state.     

Luminescent characteristics of liquid-phase systems and polymer compositions containing europium β-diketonates solubilized with pluronics

The solubilization of europium β-diketonate complexes with amphiphilic polymers, ternary block copolymers of ethylene and propylene oxides (Pluronics), was shown to change luminescence intensity in such complexes. The association of europium β-diketonate complexes with Pluronics was proved by atomic force microscopy of agglomerates crystallized on mica surfaces from chloroform solutions of Pluronic F-127 in the presence and absence of the luminophores under study. In the absence of luminophores, Pluronic F-127 crystallized on a mica surface had a dendrite-like structure, while the evaporation of chloroform solutions containing both europium β-diketonates and Pluronic F-127 gave crystallized luminophore-Pluronic associates as compact islands with a characteristic size of ～0.5 μm.     

On stochastic models of teletraffic with heavy-tailed distributions

Following the approach suggested by I. Kaj and M. Taqqu, we consider a stochastic model of teletraffic based on Poisson random measure. We show that under appropriate assumptions, the finite-dimensional distributions for the scaled workload process converge to those of a stable Lévy process. Bibliography: 10 titles.     

Synthesis and Luminescent Properties of Eu 3+ , Gd 3+ , and Tb 3+ Complexes with Quinoline-4-carboxylic Acids

New complex compounds LnL3·nH2O (n = 5–10) have been synthesized on the basis of Eu3+, Gd3+, and Tb3+ salts and quinoline-4-carboxylic acid derivatives obtained via the Pfitzinger reaction. Composition and structure of the ligands and the resulting complex compounds have been confirmed by NMR and IR spectroscopy, thermogravimetry, and complexometric titration. Europium complex with 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroacridine-9-carboxylic acid has exhibited efficient luminescence.     

Use of the ring opening reactions of 1,3,5-triazines in organic synthesis (review)

Published data on the recyclization reactions of 1,3,5-triazines are reviewed. The classification is based on the fragments of the 1,3,5-triazine molecules used in the construction of new heterocycles. Dedicated to the birthday of A. F. Pozharskii, who has made a great contribution to our establishment as scientists. Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 2, pp. 167–190, February, 2009.

One-Pot Synthesis of (E)-2-(3-Oxoindolin-2-ylidene)-2-arylacetonitriles

A highly efficient and expeditious one-pot approach towards 2-(3-oxoindolin-2-yl)acetonitriles was designed, which involves a base-assisted aldol reaction of ortho-nitroacetophenones, followed by hydrocyanation, triggering an unusual reductive cyclization reaction.
