IR spectroscopic study of substituent effects in N,N-dimethylhydrazides of aromatic acids

Conclusions An IR spectroscopic study showed that the C=0 values in the spectra of N,N-dimethylhydrazides of aromatic acids, RCONHN(Me)₂, correlate linearly with a regression equation obtained for the unsubstituted hydrazides of aromatic acids, RCONHNH₂. This dependence differs significantly from that for N-methyl-N-aroylhydrazines, in which ,-conjugation in the RC(O)N group is more pronounced.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 10, pp. 2353–2355, October, 1987.     

The crystal structure and absolute configuration of the antitumor platinum complex trans(OH)-Pt(OH)2(malonato)(1R,2R-cyclohexanediamine).

The absolute configuration of the anti-tumor complex trans(OH)-Pt(OH)2(malonato)(1R,2R-cyclohexanediamine) was determined by X-ray anomalous scattering technique. The final unit cell was monoclinic, space group P2(1) with a = 9.142 A, b = 7.788 A, c = 11.946 A, beta = 96.48 degrees, Z = 2. The crystal structure was determined by direct method and difference Fourier synthesis, and refined to R = 0.025 and Rw = 0.033 based on 2768 independent reflections. The platinum atom has roughly octahedral coordination. The cyclohexane ring has the expected chair configuration, with two amino groups in equatorial positions while the malonato ligand, in contrast, shows a boat conformation for six membered Pt O-C-C-C-O ring.     

Phospholipids of kenaf of variety Opytnyi-1847

The total phospholipids of kenaf of variety Opytnyi-1847 and homogeneous fractions of them have been studied. A known law has been confirmed — positions 2 of the main fractions of phospholipids are esterified predominantly with unsaturated fatty acids and in N-aceylated phospholipids the amide-bound acids are more saturated than the O-acyls.Institute of the Chemistry of Plant Substances of the Academy of Sciences of the Uzbek SSR, Tashkent.

Effects of stereoisomerism in the mass spectra of 2,4-disubstituted thiacyclohexanes

The mass spectra of cis- (Ia-c) and trans-2-methyl-4-R-thiacyclohexanes (IIa-c; a R = n-C₄H₉, b R = n-C₅H₁₁, c R = Ph) were studied. It was established that [M-CH₃]⁺ ions, which correspond to the loss of a methyl group from the 2 position, are formed more readily in the case of the less stable trans isomers IIa-c than in the case of cis isomers Ia-c. The three-dimensional structures of the substances have no effect on the degree of elimination of the R substituent. The relative ionization energies (RIE) for Ia,b and IIa,b and the relative appearance energies (RAE) of the [M-CH₃]⁺ ions were measured by the electron impact method. It was found that the RIE are almost 0.05 eV lower and that the RAE of the [M-CH₃]⁺ ions are 0.1 eV lower for trans isomers IIa,b than for cis isomers Ia,b.Communication 4 from the series Ionization and appearance energies in organic chemistry, See [1] for Communication 3.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 3, pp. 333–338, March, 1981.     

Methylation analysis in glycoprotein chemistry. General procedure for quantification of the products of solvolysis of permethylated glycopeptides and glycoproteins

A technique for the gas chromatographic analysis of the products of solvolysis of permethylated glycopeptides and glycoproteins has been developed. It involves methanolysis of a permethylated compound, quantitative transformation of methyl ethers of methyl glycosides into the corresponding O-trimethylsilyl(TMS)-O-methylalditols [2-deoxy-2-(N-methyl)acetamido-O-TMS-O-methylalditols in the case of hexosamine derivatives] and gas chromatographic quantification using a single column packed with 0.4% OV-225 on surface-modified Chromosorb.     

Thermal stability of osmium mixed oxides. III. SrOsO3 decomposition products: A new defect pyrochlore Sr2Os2O6.4±0.2

The thermal decomposition of SrOsO₃ has been studied by DTA, thermogravimetry and X-ray powder diffraction. The decomposition of orthorhombic Sr₂Os₂O₇ depends strongly on the partial pressure of air above the samples investigated. In this paper the Sr₂Os₂O_6.4±0.2 pyrochlore formation and some properties of the phase are described. The stability conditions of SrOsO₃ are also discussed.     

The gas chromatography, thermal analysis and mass spectrometry of fluorinated lead β-diketonates Determination of traces of lead by the integrated ion-current technique

Preparative details for perfluoroalkanoylpivalylmethanes and their lead chelates are given. Thermal analysis, gas chromatography and mass spectral studies all indicate high thermal stability, but strong column interaction makes successful quantitative gas chromatography difficult. The integrated ion-current technique is applied to determine lead heptafluorobutanoylpivalylmethanate in the range 10^-9–10^-7 g of lead, but a lower detection limit of ca. 10^-14 g is indicated.     

Thermometrische Schnellanalyse von Martin- und Hochofenschlacken sowie anderen Silicaten

Summary A novel method has been developed for the rapid analysis of silicates. Each component is determined from the temperature variation of the solution resulting from the addition to the test solution of a selectively reacting reagent. By suitable construction of the instrument the concentration of the component to be determined can be read directly in per cent. The determination of a component takes usually 4 to 8 minutes.In the test solution a temperature change proportional to the concentration of the component to be determined has been produced by the following reagents: sulphuric acid for barium, ammonium peroxodisulphate for iron, hydrogen peroxide for titanium, hydrofluoric acid for silicic acid, potassium permanganate for sulphur, ammonium molybdate and hydrogen peroxide for phosphate, potassium permanganate for manganese, potassium oxalate for calcium, diammonium hydrogenphosphate for magnesium, ascorbic acid for chromium. The above components can be determined without any separations. Only in the case of aluminium a separation of silicic acid from aluminium by dehydrating with perchloric acid in necessary. Thereafter the aluminium can be determined with hydrofluoric acid.The precision of the determinations is practically identical with the precision of the usual plant methods.
