13C NMR spectra of azolopyridines and their quaternary salts

¹³ C NMR spectra of some azole series have been investigated: 2-pyridylbenzimidazoles, 2-pyridylimidazo [4,5-b]-pyridines, 2-pyridylimidazo[4,5-c]-pyridines, analogous oxazole compounds, as well as their mono- and bisquaternary salts. Some problems, related to the structure of these compounds in solution, have been discussed.V. I.

Investigation of the structural features of insoluble complex-forming sorbents with the aid of solid-state high-resolution13C NMR spectroscopy

The special features of the chemical structure of polymeric complex-forming sorbents obtained on the basis of various polymeric matrices with a macroporous structure and pyrazole derivatives have been investigated with the aid of solid-state high-resolution¹³C NMR spectroscopy (MAS/CP/DD). The signals of the atoms in individual structural fragments of the polymeric matrices and the complex-forming groups have been identified, and the form of the complex-forming groups in the sorbent and the form in which they appear in the polymeric matrix have been established.V.

Searches for single-spin asymmetry in the inclusive production of neutral pions in the central region at a proton beam energy of 70 GeV

Results are presented that were obtained by measuring single-spin asymmetry in the inclusive production of neutral pions in the reaction p+p ↑→ π ⁰+X at x _F≈0. A beam of 70-GeV protons was extracted directly from the vacuum chamber of the accelerator by means of a bent single crystal. For transverse momenta in the range 1.0<p _T<3.0 GeV/c, the single-spin asymmetry independently measured by two detectors is zero within the errors. This result is in agreement with Fermilab data obtained at 200 GeV, but it is at odds with CERN data measured at 24 GeV.

For the unsymmetrical title compound, 1‐bromo‐1′‐[(2S)‐N‐(1‐hydroxy‐3‐methylbutane‐2‐yl)]‐ferroceneamide, two independent molecules were found in the asymmetric unit. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

X-ray fluorescence determination of bromine in halogenated organic compounds using quasisolid emitters

A series of quasi-solid emitters is proposed for the X-ray fluorescence determination of bromine in different bromine-containing compounds. It is shown that sucrose-based glasses are the best emitters for analyzing alkali solutions of halogenated organic compounds, saccharose-based glasses and polymer films are best for analyzing powder samples, and organic gels offer most promise for analyzing liquid (at normal conditions) samples. It is noted that the proposed method can expand the possibilities of commercially produced element analyzers, which are currently intended for determining only C, H, O, N, and S in organic compounds and cannot be used for determining halogens.     

Spontaneous polarization and nonlinear susceptibility in various protonated HxLi1−x NbO3 phases

A change in the spontaneous polarization and the nonlinear susceptibility in H: LiNbO₃ waveguides is calculated from experimental data for the shift of the fundamental absorption for variously polarized rays and from IR reflection data in the range of NbO₆ octahedron vibrations. It is shown that taking into account the lattice disorder provides good agreement between the theory and experiment.     

Thermodynamics of the dissolution of acetoacetylferrocene and 1,1′-bis(acetoacetyl)ferrocene in aqueous ethanol

The solubility of acetoacetylferrocene and 1,1′-bis(acetoacetyl)ferrocene in water and aqueous ethanol at various temperatures is studied over a wide solvent composition range. The solubilities of both compounds increase as the temperature or ethanol concentration is raised, particularly in the case of acetoacetylferrocene. The dissolution of both β-diketones is accompanied by positive changes in enthalpy and entropy.
