Silver Intercalation into Cellulose Matrix. An X-Ray Scattering,Solid-State 13C NMR,IR, X-Ray Photoelectron,and Raman Study

Diffusion of silver ions into a cellulose matrix and their subsequent reduction both with the matrix itself and with specific reducers lead to preparation of cellulose materials containing silver(0). Most silver metal is intercalated into the cellulose matrix when glycerol is used as solvent and potassium hypophosphite or sodium boron hydrate are used as reducers.     

Crystal Structure of Dioxomolybdenum(VI) Pyrazinecarbohydroximate Tetrahydrate

The crystal structure of a complex of pyrazinecarbohydroxamic acid (PHA) with Mo(VI) has been studied by X-ray diffraction analysis. The PHA molecule enters the complex composition as the enole tautomeric form. The branched intermolecular bonds form a strong three-dimensional framework with cavities filled with water molecules.     

Crystallization of chiral compounds. 1. Spectroscopic,thermochemical, and crystallographic investigation of homochiral and racemic glycidyl p-toluenesulfonate

Crystalline specimens of homochiral and racemic glycidyl p-toluenesulfonate were studied by IR spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, and X-ray diffraction analysis. The melting phase diagram of glycidyl p-toluenesulfonate was constructed. The stacking effect in the crystals of the racemic sulfonate is responsible for a more dense molecular packing, with the result that a heterochiral type of crystallization becomes more favorable.     

Emanation Thermal Analysis of SiC Based Materials

Results of emanation thermal analysis (ETA) characterizing microstructure changes of SiC based materials during heat treatment in argon are demonstrated. This method made it possible to reveal fine changes of the texture of SiC nano-sized powders, SiC micro-sized powders and SiC whiskers under in situconditions of the heating. ETA curves can serve as fingerprints of the respective samples.This revised version was published online in November 2005 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Rheological and Electrophysical Characteristics of Polyvinyl Alcohol Solutions Containing Copper and Cobalt Chlorides

Rheological and electrical properties of polyvinyl alcohol solutions containing copper(II) and cobalt(II) chlorides are studied. Anomalous behavior of these properties is associated with complex formation, depending on the component ratio and temperature.
