Einfluß der Donoreigenschaften organischer Lösungsmittel auf die Ionisation von Tritylhalogeniden

Zusammenfassung Die Ionisation vonPh ₃CCl undPh ₃CBr durch aprotische Donoren wurde in Nitrobenzol mit Hilfe von Leitfähigkeitsmessungen untersucht. Das Ausmaß der Ionisation ist proportional den Donizitäten. Ausnahmen werden auf sterische Hinderung zurückgeführt. Die Verbindung [Ph ₃C·py]⁺Br^– wurde isoliert.

Influence of the donicity of organic solvents on the ionization of triphenylhalomethanes

The ionization ofPh ₃CCl andPh ₃CBr by aprotic donors was studied conductometrically in nitrobenzene solution. The degree of ionization increases with increasing donicity of the donor except when sterical hindrance is operative. The compound [Ph ₃C·py]⁺Br^– was isolated.

     

Electron hole condensate radiation from Ge double injection devices between 1.5° and 4.2°

Carrier injection in Ge at helium temperatures produces radiation characteristic of the electron hole condensate. Time resolved spectra are used to analyze the presence of both condensate and free exciton radiation at high power levels. Device heating is indicated.     

Tailoring the flow of soft glasses by soft additives

We examine the vitrification and melting of asymmetric star polymer mixtures by combining rheological measurements with mode coupling theory. We identify two types of glassy states, a single glass, in which the small component is fluid in the glassy matrix of the big one, and a double glass, in which both components are vitrified. Addition of small-star polymers leads to melting of both glasses, and the melting curve has a nonmonotonic dependence on the star-star size ratio. The phenomenon opens new ways for externally steering the rheological behavior of soft matter systems.     

Combining the use of solid‐supported transition metal catalysis with microwave irradiation in solution‐phase parallel library synthesis

Microwave heating methods have been combined with the use of solid-supported catalysts to produce small solution-phase libraries of medicinally-relevant compounds. Palladium supported on charcoal (Pd/C) has been used to produce libraries of pyrazole compounds for screening in COX II studies via Suzuki cross coupling reactions, while the same catalyst has been used also to produce styryl-based nAChR compounds using analogous chemistry. Although the reaction substrates are very different (aryl vs. vinyl), this catalyst system provided consistently good and reliable results. The use of a polystyrene-supported Ru catalyst for ring-closing metathesis (RCM) reactions was also evaluated to prepare benzolactam structures for evaluation as factor Xa inhibitors.     

The twenty-fourth Fermat number is composite

We have shown by machine proof that is composite. The rigorous Pépin primality test was performed using independently developed programs running simultaneously on two different, physically separated processors. Each program employed a floating-point, FFT-based discrete weighted transform (DWT) to effect multiplication modulo . The final, respective Pépin residues obtained by these two machines were in complete agreement. Using intermediate residues stored periodically during one of the floating-point runs, a separate algorithm for pure-integer negacyclic convolution verified the result in a ``wavefront' paradigm, by running simultaneously on numerous additional machines, to effect piecewise verification of a saturating set of deterministic links for the Pépin chain. We deposited a final Pépin residue for possible use by future investigators in the event that a proper factor of should be discovered; herein we report the more compact, traditional Selfridge-Hurwitz residues. For the sake of completeness, we also generated a Pépin residue for , and via the Suyama test determined that the known cofactor of this number is composite.

     

Surface microrelief smoothing mechanisms in a target irradiated by an intense charged particle beam

Physical mechanisms and a mathematical model are proposed to describe the smoothing of the microrelief of an irradiated surface. Before melting, smoothing is caused by elastoplastic deformation of the material; after the melting of the surface layer of the irradiated target, smoothing is caused by the dynamics of the target boundary under the action of surface tension forces, viscous forces, and inertial forces. The results of numerical simulation agree qualitatively and quantitatively with experimental data. The proposed mathematical model can be used to predict changes in the microrelief of the irradiated surface and to choose irradiation conditions when solving the problems of radiation technologies.
