Mössbauer study of hydrothermally-treated ferrosilica gels

Mössbauer spectroscopy and x-ray phase analysis have been used to examine the structural states and grain sizes of the iron-bearing phase in ferrosilica gels in the initial state and after hydrothermal treatment at 673 K. The component ratio has a substantial effect on the phase composition. The specific surface is also related to the phase composition.Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Éksperimental'naya Khimiya, Vol. 23, No. 5, pp. 647–651, September–October, 1987.     

Determination of the lifetime of singlet oxygen with the kinetics of quenching of its luminescence after a laser flash in films of amorphous polymers

Conclusions The lifetime of singlet oxygen is 22, 34, and 35 usec in polystyrene, polycarbonate, and polymethyl methacrylate.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 7, pp. 1484–1488, July, 1987.We would like to thank V. Ya. Shlyapintokh for his valuable comments in discussing the results.     

Force fields and vibrational spectra of M2O and MOH (M = Li,Na) molecules according to data from nonempirical MO-LCAO-SCF calculations

The geometric structure, force fields, and vibrational spectra of M₂O and MOH (M=Li, Na) molecules have been investigated. The size of the d basis on the oxygen atom has a significant influence only on the frequency of the deformation vibration ₃. Experimentally unknown constants of the molecules considered have been evaluated.Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Éksperimental'naya Khimiya, Vol. 22, No. 6, pp. 724–728, November–December, 1986.     

Influence of the crystallinity of pentasil-type zeolites on their acidity

The acid properties of intermediate products in crystallization of pentasil-type zeolites have been investigated using programmed thermal desorption of ammonia and adsorption of pyridine. It was found that acidity increases with increasing crystallinity due to proton-donor centers. A correlation was established between this change in acidity and methanol TPSR data.Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Éksperimental'naya Khimiya, Vol. 31, No. 1, pp. 48–51, January–February, 1995.
