Amplitude des oscillations d'ondes solitaires généralisées

Various physical systems of dispersive waves admit solutions in the form of generalized solitary waves. Such waves result from the resonance between a long localized wave and short periodic oscillations. Many estimates (rigorous and numerical) have been given for the amplitude of the ripples in the tail of the generalized solitary wave when its central part has a sech² shape. This Note provides estimates (not yet rigorous) for the ripple amplitude when the central part is flat and wide. To cite this article: C. Fochesato, F. Dias, C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris, Ser.

Mass spectra of bile acid methyl ester acetate derivatives

Deuterium labeling in the acetate derivatives of cholic acid demonstrates that electron impact induced consecutive loss of HOAc from the molecular ion occurs in the following order of decreasing preference: 12α-OAc > 7α-OAc > 3α-OAc. Numerous examples are presented showing that consecutive loss of HOAc from a common ion generally increases progressively with relative intensity. In the acetate pregnan-20-one derivatives of cholic acid, loss of 43 mass units from the molecular ion comes from the 12α-OAc and not the 17β-acetyl sidechain. Ketene is ejected from an acetoxy group located in an α position to a carbonyl on which an ion-radical charge is localized.     

A formula periodic table for benzenoid hydrocarbons and the aufbau and excised internal structure concepts in benzenoid enumerations

The genesis of the aufbau and excised internal structure concepts is traced. These concepts were pivotal to the first published enumerations of the strictly peri-condensed, non-Kekuléan, and essentially strain-free total resonant sextet benzenoid groups. Aperiodic table set is defined as a partially ordered set forming a two-dimensional array which complies with thetriad principle where a central element has a metric property that is the arithmetic mean of two adjacent surrounding member elements.     

A theoretical study of π-hydrocarbon-iron tricarbonyl complexes

The molecular orbital parameters for tricarbonyl(tetrahapto-unsaturated-hydrocarbon)iron complexes are computed using graph-theoretical methods. The results are in agreement with their experimental properties.     

Metal derivatives of azoles,part VII. Pyrazolato-bridged dinuclear complexes containing either cyclopalladated or -platinated trimesitylphosphine or -arsine

Summary The halogen bridges of the dimeric, cyclometallated trimesityl-arsine and -phosphine complexes of palladium(II) and platinum(II), where M=Pd or Pt and E=P or As have been replaced with pyrazolate groups to give the corresponding and less symmetric pyrazolato-bridged complexes, where M=Pd or Pt, E=P or As, Pz=pyrazolato anion, and M=Pd, E=As, Pz=3,5-dimethylpyrazolato anion. In the case of the palladium complexes,¹H. n.m.r. clearly indicates the presence of only one isomer which is most likely to have thetrans configuration while the platinum complexes are mixtures of bothcis andtrans forms.Part VI, ref. 3c     

Studies directed toward synthesis of quassinoids. VI—mass spectral fragmentation of D-ring seco esters and δ-lactone derivatives of cholic acid

Analogy and deuterium labeling demonstrate that considerable remote group interaction occurs between functional groups at positions 7 and 16 in 16, 17-secosteroids. It is proposed that ion-dipole interact?ions separations of distances of 10 to 2 Å will involve energies of 1–30 kcal mol^?1 and can play a significant role in fragmentation processes. Successive loss of one, two and three HOAc molecules from a milecular or daughter ion increase progressively in relative intensity; irregularity in this pattern indicates the operation of special factors or multiple genesis of daughter ions having the same m/e. Evidence is presented which suggests that facile ketene ejection from the acetate functional group only occurs from a radical ion and must be preceded by transfer of a hydrogen radical from the acetate group to the site of charge localization.     

A kinetic approach to homogeneous Ziegler type polymerization. Steady state

In this paper we present a kinetic approach to the analysis of steady-state homogeneous Ziegler-Natta polymerization activity data. The influence of the number of monomeric species that are coordinated to the active site on the apparent rate law is discussed and the equations are fitted to the experimental results.
