Mass-spectrometric behavior of some cyano-substituted 4-(β-chloroethylmercapto)-sym-triazines

Intense [M-Cl]⁺ and [M-CT₂=CCNCl]⁺ ion peaks are characteristic for the mass spectra of 4-(-chloro--cyanoethylmercapto)-sym-triazines. The introduction of monoalkylamino groups into the 2 and 6 positions of the heteroring does not lead to the development of [M-HCl]⁺ ion peaks in the mass spectra or to a change in the characteristic fragmentation pathways.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 9, pp. 1268–1270, September, 1982.     

Osmotischer Druck in reagierenden polymeren Lösungen

Zusammenfassung Die osmotische Steighöhe über einer Lösung makromolekularer Stoffe, in der chemische Reaktionen verlaufen, wird als Funktion der Zeit, der Reaktionsgeschwindigkeit und der Membranpermeabilität berechnet.Mit 1 AbbildungHerrn Prof. Dr.Emil Abel zum 80.

Fake molecular-orbital calculations

The FAKE method of approximate molecular-orbital calculations is presented and illustrated by application to a number of molecules. The method is of the extended Huckel type but uses accurately computed kinetic-energy matrix elements and avoids scale factors of the Wolfsberg—Helmholtz type. It also includes neighbor-atom charge effects and single-center off-diagonal matrix elements. These features permit FAKE occupied-orbital energies and charge distributions to come into close agreement with corresponding ab initio quantities.     

Peculiarities of the chemical properties of vicinally disubstituted veratrole and synthesis of 1-methyl-4,5-dimethoxybenzimidazole derivatives

Various paths for the synthesis of 4-methylamino-3-aminoveratrole (I) from 4-amino-3-nitroveratrole (II) were investigated, and it was found that I can be obtained in a high overall yield of 65% through the tosyl derivative of II. 1-Methyl-4,5-dimethoxybenzimidazolone, 1-methyl-4,5-dimethoxybenzimidazole and its 2-phenyl-, 2-chloro-, and 2-dimethylamino derivatives were synthesized on the basis of I in order to investigate their biological activity. It was established that the chemical properties of vicinally disubstituted veratrole, particularly the increased basicity of II, are determined to a significant degree by steric strains caused by bulky substituents. It is shown that 85% formic acid can be successfully used in place of 98–100% formic acid for the N-formylation of aromatic amines with a mixture of formic acid and acetic anhydride.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 10, pp. 1387–1392, October, 1970.     

Where are the Sn atoms in LaSb2Snx, 0.1?x?∼0.75?

The composition range and (composite modulated) structure of compounds within the wide range non-stoichiometric LaSb₂Sn_x, 0.1?x?0.75, solid solution is carefully investigated via a combined electron diffraction, XRD and electron probe microanalysis study. Evidence for metastability of the LaSb₂Sn_x phase at the low x composition end of the solid solution is presented. Direct evidence is found for a reasonably (although by no means perfectly) well ordered Sn sub-structure which is, in general, mutually incommensurable with respect to a very well ordered underlying LaSb₂ sub-structure along both a and c directions. The overall (3+2)-d superspace group symmetry is given along with a discussion of the consequences as regards the arrangement of the Sn atoms. The Sn sub-structure c-axis cell dimension shows very little variation with composition x providing direct experimental evidence of the importance of Sn-Sn metallic bonding (along one-dimensional [001] Sn strings) for the stability of the phase.     

Determination of the solubility of organic compounds. II

Summary In general, solid particles liquify when they are exposed to air laden with the vapor of a liquid in which they are soluble. There are exceptions, however, which may be explained by assuming the formation of a solvate.

Zusammenfassung Feste Teilchen verflüssigen sich im allgemeinen, wenn sie Luft ausgesetzt sind, die mit dem Dampf einer Flüssigkeit geladen ist, in der sie löslich sind. Es wurden aber Ausnahmen gefunden, die möglicherweise durch die Bildung von Solvaten erklärt werden können.

Résumé Généralement, les particules solides se liquéfient si elles sont exposées à l'air chargé de la vapeur d'un liquide dans lequel elles sont solubles. Il existe cependant des exceptions que l'on peut expliquer en supposant la formation de solvates.
