Phthalocyanines and Related Compounds: XXXIX. Synthesis of Derivatives of Some Substituted 1-Phenylnaphthalene-2,3-dicarboxylic Acids

Derivatives (dinitriles, anhydrides, imides, N-phenylimides) of substituted 1-phenylnaphthalene-2,3-dicarboxylic and 1-phenylphenanthrene-2,3-dicarboxylic acids were prepared by the reactions of 2-bromomethylbenzophenones with various dienophiles. Starting from these derivatives, gallium complexes of substituted tetra-1-phenyl-2,3-naphthalocyanines and tetra(1-phenyl-2,3-phenanthro)porphyrazine were synthesized.__________Translated from Zhurnal Obshchei Khimii, Vol. 75, No. 5, 2005, pp. 841–846.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Donyagina, Luk”yanets.     

Complex formation of O-carboxymethylcalix[4]resorcinolarene with alkaline metal and ammonium ions

Complex formation of 3,5,10,12,17,19,24,26-octa(carboxymethoxy)-1,8,15,22-tetraundecylcalix[4]arene (H₈X) with Li⁺, Na⁺, K⁺, and NH₄ ⁺ ions was studied by ¹H NMR spectroscopy and pH-metry in water—DMSO solutions. Binding of one cation occurs during the stepped deprotonation of four carboxymethyl groups in H₈X. The K⁺ ion was found to be bound more efficiently than Li⁺ and Na⁺. The further deprotonation to the penta- and hexaanion leads to the coordination with two cations. The most stable binuclear complex is formed with the Li⁺ ion.

Linearization methods of laser interferometers for pico/nano positioning stages

Presented work introduces methods for improving linearity of a heterodyne laser interferometer system. The heterodyne configuration exhibits high potential in demanding applications, like pico/nano positioning. Those applications require superior accuracy, more difficult to obtain in a homodyne configuration of the laser interferometer. The homodyne setup is more susceptible to external light, variation of DC offset and higher noises, especially the 1/f noise. Those issues are filtered out in the heterodyne configuration. The main disadvantage of heterodyne setup are higher measurement nonlinearities. In this paper there are first introduced sources of nonlinearities and their impact on the overall accuracy. According to those findings there are proposed techniques to eliminate error caused by parasite beams, i.e. nonlinearities. Presented method is based on digital signal processing and is reliable and easy to use. In the shown approach the nonlinearities correction is completely automatic. Such system is applicable for X/Y positioning stages. Presented configuration of the laser interferometer is able to track the displacement with 100 pm resolution up to 7 m/s of translation velocity. The resolution can be improved to 10 pm by limitation of maximal velocity. In the paper there is confirmed that errors caused by nonlinearities are in range of ±0.6 nm. Achieved accuracy is comparable to capacitance gauges with presented laser interferometer having much better dynamic range.     

The structure of 6,6′-biquinolyl and its dication in solution

Conformational analysis of 6,6-biquinolyl and its dication was performed using dipole moments and data from electric and magnetic birefringence. The rotation angles between the quinoline rings for thecis- andtrans-conformers in solution are 50°. The emergence of positive charges on both heteroaromatic rings does not result in noticeable changes in the spatial structure.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Structure and properties of macrocyclic compounds containing a pyrimidine fragment

The structure of a series of macrocyclic compounds consisting of a pyrimidine or 1,3,5-triazine ring and an aza-or thiapolymethylene bridge connecting the N¹ and N³ atoms of the heteroring is discussed. Some macroheterocycles undergo methylation at the sulfur atom by the action of methyl p-toluenesulfonate. The length of the polymethylene bridge determines conformation of the macroring. Compounds with a shorter bridge both in crystal and in solution are characterized by closely located structural fragments, while extension of the polymethylene chain gives rise to an unfolded structure. Conformational changes in solution are promoted by protonation of the bridging nitrogen atom, and deprotonation restores the initial structure of the macroring. The basicity of the bridging nitrogen atom depends on the geometric parameters of the macroring.

Longitudinal nuclear magnetic relaxation in cobalt films with various domain structure

The longitudinal relaxation process in thin⁵⁹Co films with different domain vall percentages has been investigate using a spin-echo technique at room temperature. It has been obtained that the HHR signal decay behaviour did not depend on the domain wall effects.
