Photoelectron spectra and electronic structure of derivatives of imidazoline

We have obtained for the first time the photoelectron spectra (PES) of 20 diamagnetic and paramagnetic derivatives of imidazole. On the basis of calculations in the MNDO approximation, analysis of the vibrational structure, and comparisons in a series we have interpreted the bands in the range 7–11 eV. In the nitroxyl radicals of 3-imidazoline the highest occupied molecular orbital is the _NO ^* orbital, having also a contribution on the C⁴ atom. On introducing N-oxide groups there is a considerable rearrangement of the electronic structure of the radicals. In the PES of the nitroxyl radicals of 3-imidazoline-3-oxide there is multiplet splitting of the ionization band of the n_o·MO, amounting to 0.3–0.4 eV. Replacement of the methyl groups on the C² atom by methoxyl groups leads to an increase in the interactions of the unshared pairs of the O atoms of the nitronium and nitroxyl groups, while the same replacement on the C⁵ atoms leads to a considerable decrease in this interaction. When the substituent on the N¹ atom in derivatives of 3-imidazoline-3-oxide is varied the energy of ionization of the _C-NO MO decreases in the series: CH₃ < H OH < O < NO.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 8, pp. 1769–1777, August, 1990.     

Synthesis and catalytic activity of uranium(IV) tetraphenylporphinate chloride

Conclusions The synthesis of a new complex, uranium(IV) tetraphenylporphinate chloride, was reported. This complex is an active catalyst for the oxidation of cholesterol.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 9, pp. 2131–2132, September, 1986.     

Addition of amines to ethyl α-fluoroacrylate and phenyl α-fluorovinyl ketone

Conclusions The reaction of diethylamine, piperidine, ethylenimine, and cyclohexylamine with ethyl-fluoroacrylate, and also of ethylenimine with phenyl-fluorovinyl ketone, leads to the addition of the amines to the-fluorovinyl group with the formation of-fluoro--aminopropionic acid derivatives.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicneskaya, No. 10, pp. 2362–2363, October, 1975.     

Kinetics of the reaction between phenylacetylene and the complex of decaborane with diethyl sulfide

Conclusions The manometric method was used to study the kinetics of the reaction of phenylacetylene with the complex of decaborane and diethyl sulfide, with the formation of 1-phenyl-o-carborane. The reaction is described by a second order equation.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 8, p. 1818, August, 1971.

Use of potassium permanganate as a possible kinetic standard in thermal analysis

Analysis of the mechanism of congruent dissociative evaporation of solid substances led to a suggestion that potassium permanganate can be used as a possible kinetic standard in thermal analysis.
