Synthesis and tautomeric behavior of 3-(pyrazolylhydrazonomethyl)-2-oxo-1, 2-dihydroquinoxalines. Specification of hydrazone imine and diazenyl enamine forms

3-(Pyrazolylhydrazonomethyl)-2-oxo-1, 2-dihydroquinoxalines were synthesized, and their tautomer ratios between hydrazone imine and diazenyl enamine forms were specified by pmr spectral data.     

Spin dynamics in a site diluted finite spin cluster system probed by positive muons

The site diluted finite spin cluster system Rb₂CO _x Mg_1–x F₄ (x=0.15, 0.4, 0.5) has been investigated by the ⁺SR technique. Muon spin relaxation was observed in these diluted magnetic systems in a weak longitudinal field of 100 G. By reducing temperature below 100 K, the experimental data show features of slowing down phenomena of the Co electron moments in the finite spin clusters.     

Threshold electron spectra of semiconductor cluster ions

A simple threshold electron analyzer was constructed and laser photodetachment threshold electron spectra of Si^– and Si ₄ ^– were measured.     

Photoinduced electron-transfer systems consisting of electron-donating pyrenes or anthracenes and benzimidazolines for reductive transformation of carbonyl compounds

Photoinduced electron-transfer reactions of several ketone substrates were studied to evaluate the utilities of 1,6-bis(dimethylamino)pyrene (BDMAP), 1,6-dimethoxypyrene (DMP), 9,10-bis(dimethylamino)anthracene (BDMAA), and 9,10-dimethoxyanthracene (DMA) as electron-donating sensitizers cooperating with 2-aryl-1,3-dimethylbenzimidazolines. BDMAP and DMP generally led higher conversion of ketones and better yield of reduction products compared to BDMAA and DMA.     

Carbazoledioxazines having long alkyl groups. 2. Synthesis of carbazoledioxazines with angular type structure

Carbazoledioxazines with an angular type structure (5,15-dialkyl-7,17-dialkyloxy-9,19-dichloro-5,15-dihydrodiindolo[2,3-c:2′,3′-n]triphenodioxazines) were selectively synthesized by electrochemical oxidative ring closure of precursors (2,5-bis(9-alkyl-2-alkyloxy-3-carbazolylamino)-3,6-dichloro-1,4-benzoquinones). The structure was confirmed by ¹H-nmr and other instrumental analyses. Their thermal properties and solubilities were investigated and were compared with those of carbazoledioxazines with a linear type structure.     

Water-swellable polyelectrolyte microgels polymerized in an inverse microemulsion using a nonionic surfactant

A series of poly(dimethylacrylamide-co-2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic acid) microgels slightly crosslinked by methylene-bis-acrylamide (MBA) were polymerized in a novel inverse microemulsion polymerization (IMEP) system. To determine a suitable composition of the IMEP system, the phase diagram of a pseudoternary system was made. The pseudoternary polymerization system consisted of n-hexane, a nonionic surfactant (polyoxyethylene oleyl ether, C18En), and an aqueous monomer solution. Polymerization was performed in a single-phase reversed micelle solution. The reversed micelles were about 50 nm in diameter, as determined by FF-TEM. The viscometric characteristics of the polymers extracted from the IMEP system were studied in 3 mM sodium chloride aqueous solution. The intrinsic viscosity values for the noncrosslinked and crosslinked (0.1 mol% MBA was incorporated) samples were 25 and 7.4 dl/g, respectively. The overlap concentration (c*) of crosslinked polymer microgel occurred at c[eta] = 1 in the solvent. When the volume fraction (phi) of the microgel was 0.7, the value of the apparent yield stress of the microgel solution was observed. These results show that the microgel has a significant thickening effect above c* due to friction between the microgel particles. It is assumed that the microgels polymerized in a confined space retain the shape or size of the nanosized reactor with a diameter on the order of 50 nm.
