Restoration of multiplicity scaling in high energy proton-proton and antiproton-proton collisions

The energy dependent parameter characterizing the leading particle effect allows to restore the scaling in proton-proton and antiproton-proton multiplicity distributions from Serpukhov until highest available CERN \(S \bar ppS\) collider energies. The identification of theoretical second dispersions with the experimental ones represents one of the basic ingredients in the quantum statistical bosonic approach applied in the present contribution. The KNO scaling at the ISR energies as well as the Worblewski relation for the second dispersions at the \(S \bar ppS\) collider energies arise quite naturally; similar phenomena might appear at higher energies too. Some predictions for 2 and 10 TeV cms energies are specified.     

The high resolution infrared spectrum and laser Stark spectroscopy of thev8 band of propyne

The perpendicularv ₈ band lying in the 1000–1100 cm^–1 region has been studied from infrared and laser Stark, spectra. We were interested in the part of spectrum corresponding to the spectral range of the 9 m CO₂ laser lines. Assignments of rovibrational lines with J'<40 and K'<6 have been made. About 100 Stark resonances have been assigned to 12 rovibrational transitions. Effective molecular constants and dipole moment have been determined with high accuracy. A list of close resonances with CO₂ laser lines is given and may be used for optical pumping experiments.     

Heterocyclic synthesis via enaminones: Novel synthesis of (1H)‐pyridin‐2‐one,pyrazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidine and isoxazole derivatives incorporating a N‐methylphthalimide and their biological evaluation

Novel synthesis of (1H)‐pyridin‐2‐one, pyrazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidine and isoxazole derivatives incorporating N‐methylphthalimide moiety are reported. Reaction of enaminone 2 with malononitrile affords 4. Condensation of 2 with cyanothioacetamide or benzoylacetonitrile affords compounds 6 and 7 respectively. Reaction of 2 with hydrazine hydrate afford 2,3‐dihydrophthalazine‐1,4‐dione ( 10 ). Condensation of 2 with hydroxylamine and 3‐aminopyrazole derivatives affords compounds 12 and 15a,b respectively. Antimicrobial and antifungal activity were determined for representative compounds and most of them showed moderate activity as antimicrobial agents, while compounds 2 and 7 show strong activity against Aspergillus niger. The structure of the newly synthesized compounds was elucidated by elemental analyses and ¹H nmr spectra and some cases by ¹³C nmr investigation.     

Air microwave-induced plasma: Relation between ion density and atomic oxygen density

Electron temperature and ion density are measured in an air microwave-induced plasma (2450 MHz) by means of a floating double probe. A 'cinetic scheme for ion formation and decay is set up, and a relationship between atomic oxygen and ion densities is obtained. From this relationship an order-of-magnitude of atomic oxygen concentration in the discharge is derived and compared with results obtained by optical actinometry in another work.     

Theoretical studies on the conformation of saccharides

Conformations of 2-methoxytetrahydropyran as a model for the six-membered ring in aldopyranosides have been calculated by the PCILO method using the algorithm of the conjugated gradient to optimize the geometry. The calculated geometry of the fourteen basic forms of 2-methoxytetrahydropyran was found to be in agreement with the available data obtained by X-ray diffraction of pyranosides. The results indicate differences in the geometry of 2-methoxytetrahydropyran resulting from the change of the axial vs. equatorial position of the methoxyl group. These changes are particularly meaningful in the values of bond angles and they are in agreement with the anomeric and exoanomeric effects. The experimentally found differences in the energies of an axial (⁴ C ₁) and equatorial (¹ C ₄) conformer, G = 2.9–3.7 kJ/mol, and the dipole moment, = 1.20 ± 0.05 D (1D = 3.33 10^–30mAs) agree well with the calculated values E = 3.18 kJ/mol and <> = 1.18 D which, in turn, suggest that the axial conformer is preferred over the equatorial one by a ratio a:e = 78:22.     

Coulometrische Wismutometrie

Zusammenfassung Durch elektrolytische Oxydation einer Bi-Anode in gesättigter NaCl-Lösung können Bi³⁺-Ionen in Lösung gebracht werden. Dieser Prozeß ermöglicht die coulometrische Bestimmung anwesender Anionen, die schwerlösliche Bi-Verbindungen bilden.Es wurden Semimikro- und Mikrobestimmungen von Phosphationen durch elektrolytisch erzeugte Bi³⁺-Ionen bei konstanter Stromstärke ausgeführt. Die Endpunktbestimmung erfolgte amperometrisch bei konstantem Potential mit einer Indikatorelektrode — tropfende Quecksilberelektrode — und mit einer gesättigten Kalomelelektrode als Bezugselektrode. Die coulometrische Wismutometrie bietet eine weitere Möglichkeit der coulometrischen Eichung volumetrischer Lösungen im Sinne des seinerzeitigen Vorschlags vonTutundi.

Summary Bi³⁺ ions can be brought into solution through electrolytic oxidation of a Bi-anode in saturated NaCl solution. This process makes possible the coulometric determination of the anions present that yield difficulty soluble bismuth compounds.Semimicro- and micro-determinations of phosphate ions were made via Bi³⁺-ions produced electrolytically at constant current strength. The endpoint was determined amperometrically at constant potential with an indicator electrode-dropping mercury electrode-and with a saturated calomel electrode as reference electrode. The coulometric bismuthometry affords a further possibility of the coulometric standardization of volumetric solutions in the sense of the proposal previously advanced byTutundi.

Résumé On peut utiliser les ions Bi³⁺ en solution par oxydation électrolytique d'une anode en bismuth, en solution de chlorure de sodium saturée. Ce procédé permet le dosage coulométrique des anions présents qui forment des composés peu solubles avec le bismuth.On a mis au point le dosage semimicro et micro des ions phosphates par les ions Bi³⁺ formés électrolytiquement sous intensité constante. On détermine par ampérométrie le point équivalent à potentiel constant à l'aide d'une électrode indicatrice — électrode de mercure à goutte pendante —et avec une électrode au calomel saturée comme électrode de référence. La «bismuthométrie» coulométrique offre de grandes possibilités pour l'étalonnage coulométrique de solutions volumétriques, suivant l'idée queTutundi a émise en son temps.

Some reactions of ammonium or hydrazinium fluorides with xenon difluoride or xenon hexafluoride

The reactions between ammonium fluoride, hydrazinium(1+) fluoride, hydrazinium(2+) fluoride and XeF₂ or XeF₆ were studied. It was found that Xe, HF, N₂ were formed in these reactions. Interestingly enough, beside of these gases nitrogen fluorides in different quantities were formed also. The courses and the products of the above reactions are compared with analogous reactions with KrF₂.     

Solubility Study of Nimodipine Inclusion Complexation with α- and β-Cyclodextrin and some Substituted Cyclodextrins

The solubility of nimodipine was measured in aqueous solutions of the following cyclodextrins: -cyclodextrin (-CD), hydroxypropyl--CD (HP--CD), -cyclodextrin (-CD), random substituted methyl--CD (M--CD), three hydroxypropyl--CDs (HP--CD) with mutually different average degree of substitution, and hydroxypropyl--cyclodextrin (HP--CD). From the determined linear solubility diagrams the values of the binding constant K₁₁ of the inclusion complexes of nimodipine with the respective CDs were evaluated. The -CDs efficiently solubilized sparingly soluble nimodipine, the highest value of K₁₁ was found for M--CD (1680 M^-1), followed by -CD (550 M^-1) and HP--CDs, where the higher degree of substitution lowered K₁₁. Only slight solubilization of nimodipine was observed in the solutions of the -CDs and HP--CD.     

Influence of the pyridine methyl substituent position on the chemical changes of the NCS groups in the thermal decomposition of coordination compounds of the type Cu(NCS)2L2

The influence of the position of the CH₃ group in picoline and lutidine ligands on the degree of chemical change of the NCS groups in coordination compounds of the type Cu(NCS)₂L₂ (whereL=2-, 3- and 4-picoline, and 2,3-, 2,4-, 2,5-, 2,6-, 3,4- and 3,5-lutidine) is dealt with. The most marked effect of the CH₃ group is found to be exerted in position 4. This effect of the methyl group on the degree of chemical change points to the mutual influence of the ligands in coordination compounds of Cu(II).

Some new ring-D seco steroids

The Beckmann fragmentation product, 3-methoxy-17-oxo-16,17-secoestra-1,3,5(10)-trien-16-nitrile (2) has been reduced by LAH giving the expected 3-methoxy-17-hydroxy-16,17-secoestra-1,3,5(10-trien-16-amine hydrochloride (3) and 3-methoxy-17-oxa-D-homoestra-1,3,5(10)-trien-16-ol (4), by a presumed neighbouring group participation of 17-OH group in the intermediary formed 16-imino derivative (A). The structure of 4 has been proved by an alternative synthetic route by reducing 3-methoxy-17-oxa-D-homoestra-1,3,5(10)-trien-16-one (7) with di-iso-butylaluminium hydride.
