1,3-Dipolar cycloaddition in the synthesis of pyrazolyl-substituted nitronyl nitroxides

A new approach to the synthesis of polyfunctional pyrazolyl-substituted nitronyl nitroxides was developed based on the presynthesized pyrazole derivatives prepared by 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition. The structures of the resulting mono-and biradicals were confirmed by X-ray diffraction. Dedicated to Academician A. L. Buchachenko on the occasion of his 70th birthday.

Condensed and bonded quinoxalines

2-Chloro-3-formylquinoxaline was synthesized from 2-chloro-3-methylquinoxaline by the Kröhnke method, and the properties of its phenylhydrazone were studied. It was found that 2-Y-3-formylquinoxalines display an anomalously low reactivity as compared with 2-Y-benzoylquinoxalines (Y=H, OH, Cl) in the synthesis of pyrazolo[3,4-b]quinoxalines.See [1] for communication IV.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 6, pp. 852–856, June, 1973.     

Determination of the true form of overlapping peaks, deformed by the base line in the case of stripping voltammetry

A way to determine the form of an analytical signal without accounting of the base line is described. It is based on subtraction of two peaks. The validity of correction of the base line inclination with the help of a linear function is indicated. The ability to determine the true form of the analytical signal in case of overlapping signals is proved. The approach was applied to define the degree of non-additivity of the analytical signal and the character of change of the peak shape as a function of concentration.     

Quantum chemical study of the appearance of the “α-effect” in35Cl NQR spectra of chloromethylsilanes

We consider the connection between the electron distribution in ClCH₂MX₁X₂X₃ molecules (M = C, Si) calculated by the CNDO/2 method and the experimental³⁵Cl NQR frequencies. We show that the ratio of the NQR frequencies for chloromethylsilanes and their organic analogs can be explained on the basis of ideas concerning the totality of induction and conjugation effects influencing the population of the orbital of the chlorine atom which participates in formation of the C-Cl bond.Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Eksperimental'naya Khimiya, Vol. 26, No. 2, pp. 241–244, March–April, 1990.     

Esters of 4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazole-1-oxyl-3-oxide-carboximidic acid

Crystal Structure of Cu(hfac)2 Complexes with Organomercury Binitroxide

The organomercury biradical HgL₂ (L is deprotonated 4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-2-imidazoline-3-oxide-1-oxyl) is capable of performing the bridging function for design of multinuclear heterospin systems. This paper describes synthesis and crystal structure of HgL₂ and the first multinuclear complexes of Cu(hfac)₂ with HgL₂.     

Formation of the monoanion [Ar*P(BH3)(mu-BH2)2H]- with a symmetrically bridging hydride from the attempted synthesis of the dianion [Ar*P(BH3)3]2-

Addition of an excess of BunLi to the bis(borano)phosphide complex [Ar*PH(BH3)2]-Li+ 1 (Ar* = 2,4,6-tri-tert-butylphenyl) and subsequent treatment with BH3, gives the anionic complex [Ar*P(BH3)(mu-BH2)2H]-Li+ 2 instead of the expected tris(borano)phosphide dilithium, [Ar*P(BH3)3]2-2Li+ 3.     

Direct synthesis of nitrogen-containing filamentous carbon on a high-percentage Ni-Cu catalyst

Nitrogen-containing catalytic filamentous carbon (N-CFC) of chemical composition NC₁₈-NC₁₀₄ has been synthesized by the decomposition of pyridine (Py) from gaseous mixtures with argon or H₂ at 550–800°C on Ni/Al₂O₃ (Ni) and Ni-Cu/Al₂O₃ (Ni-Cu) high-percentage catalysts. The activity of the Ni-Cu catalyst in Py decomposition in mixtures with H₂ is about one order of magnitude higher than its activity in Py/Ar mixtures (more than 70 g N-CFC per metal gram in 4.5 h at 750°C), which is interpreted as arising from the nickel-catalyzed hydrogenation of Py. The formation and growth of carbon fibers occurs through the decomposition of Py (from Ar/Py mixtures) and/or Py hydrodenitrification products (from H₂/Py mixtures). The carbon material has been characterized by elemental analysis, low-temperature nitrogen adsorption, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The effect of the noncatalytic reactions of Py and its transformation products on the composition and texture of N-CFC is discussed.
