On the isomer shifts of129I impurities implanted in semiconductors

Mössbauer spectra of the 27.8 keV transition in¹²⁹I have been measured with sources of^129mTe implanted in - and -tin and - and -SiC. The spectra mainly show two single line components, just as those obtained in earlier investigations with sources of^129mTe implanted in diamond, silicon and germanium. The component with isomer shift corresponding to a decreased s-electron density relative to the I^– ion is attributed to the substitutionally implanted impurities, that with shift corresponding to an increased s-electron density to interstitial impurities. Plots of the shifts of both component show a linear dependence on the lattice constant for diamond, silicon and germanium and -tin. For SiC, however, the shifts are considerably smaller than expected on the basis of this linear dependence. All shifts can be quantitatively understood on the basis of a simple model that attributes the shifts of the interstitial impurities to a compression in the host lattice and shifts of the substitutional impurities to the combined effect of compression and hybridized bonding.     

Research on heterocyclic compounds. XXIII. Phenyl derivatives of fused imidazole systems

The reaction of various heteroarylamines with ethyl 2-benzoyl-2-bromoacetate was used to obtain some imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines, imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidines, imidazo[2,1-b]thiazoles and imidazo[2,1-b]benzothiazoles characterized by the presence of a phenyl moiety on the imidazole ring. In the case of thiazole and benzothiazole derivatives, unexpected by-products were isolated and their structures elucidated.     

Highly stereoselective addition of stannylcuprates to alkynones

The addition of stannylcuprate reagents such as (Bu3Sn)(PhS)CuLi to alkynones has been found to proceed in high yield and with excellent stereoselectivity for the Z isomer of the product (>95%). The behavior of the stannylcuprates is thus very different from that of their "carbocuprate" counterparts such as Me2CuLi or Me2Cu(CN)Li2 which are nonstereoselective. Furthermore, in contrast to the reactions of (R3Sn)(PhS)CuLi with the corresponding alkynoates, the presence of a proton source in the reaction medium has no effect on the stereoselectivity of the reaction of alkynones.     

Mass spectometry of aralkyl compounds with a functional group—VI1: Mass spectra of 1-phenylethyanol-1, 2-phenylethanol-1 and 1-phenylpropanol-2

Mass spectra of 1-phenylethanol-1 and its analogues, specifically deuterated in the aliphatic chain, suggest that the [M? CH₃]⁺ ion is represented partly by an α-hydroxybenzyl fragment. Moreover, the molecular ion loses successively—after scrambling of all hydrogen atoms, except those of CH₃? a hydrogen atom and C₆H₆, generation the CH₃CO⁺ ion. Diffuse peaks, found in the spectra of of 2-phenylethanol-1 and its analogues, specifically deuterated in the aliphatic chain and in the phenyl ring, show that the molecular ion loses C₂H₄O, possibly via a four-center mechanism, after an exchange of aromatic and hydroxylic hydrogens. Mass spectra of 1-phenylpropanol-2 and its analogues, specifically, deuterated in the aliphatic chain, demonstrate that in the molecular ion exclusively the hydroxyl hydrogen atom is transferred to one of the ortho-positions of the phenyl ring via a McLafferty rearrangement, generating the [M ? C₂H₄O]⁺ ion. Furtherore, an eight-membered ring structure is proposed for the [M ? CH₃]⁺ ion to explain the loss of H₂O and C₂H₂O from this ion after an extensive scrambling of hydrogen atoms.     

Effects of ultrasonic irradiation in flow-injection systems

The effects of ultrasonic irradiation on transport and reactions in several flow-injection manifolds are described. The influences of ultrasound on the physical dispersion of the injected plug is considered. Its effects on systems involving homogeneous (catalytic and non-catalytic) and heterogeneous (liquid/liquid extraction, precipitation) reactions are critically evaluated. In general, greater sensitivity is obtained, especially for heterogeneous systems, slow reactions and low analyte concentrations. Finally, practical considerations and potential uses of the combination of ultrasonic irradiation with flow-injection analysis are discussed.     

Comparative study of measured and critically evaluated resonance intergral to thermal cross-section ratios. Part I

For 13 isotopes, the resonance integral to thermal crosssection ratio was studied. The results of two different methods, applied in two different laboratories, are compared. One method consists in a direct determination of I₀/π₀-values from Cd-ratio measurements, the other is based on the evaluation of literature data, using accurately determined k₀-factors from two irradiation channels with largely different thermal-to-epithermal flux ratios.     

Three 4‐amino­quinolines of anti­malarial interest

The structures of three compounds with potential anti­malarial activity are reported. In N,N‐diethyl‐N′‐(7‐iodo­quinolin‐4‐yl)ethane‐1,2‐diamine, C₁₅H₂₀IN₃, (I), the mol­ecules are linked into ribbons by N—H⋯N and C—H⋯N hydrogen bonds. In N‐(7‐bromo­quinolin‐4‐yl)‐N′,N′‐diethyl­ethane‐1,2‐diamine dihydrate, C₁₅H₂₀BrN₃·2H₂O, (II), two amino­quino­line mol­ecules and four water mol­ecules form an R₅⁴(13) hydrogen‐bonded ring which links to its neighbours to form a T5(2) one‐dimensional infinite tape with pendant hydrogen bonds to the amino­quinolines. The phosphate salt 7‐chloro‐4‐[2‐(diethyl­ammonio)ethyl­amino]quinolinium bis­(dihydrogen­phosphate) phospho­ric acid, C₁₅H₂₂ClN₃²⁺·2H₂PO₄⁻·H₃PO₄, (III), was prepared in order to establish the protonation sites of these compounds. The phosphate ions form a two‐dimensional hydrogen‐bonded sheet, while the amino­quino­line cations are linked to the phosphates by N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds from each of their three N atoms. While the conformation of the quinoline region hardly varies between (I), (II) and (III), the amino side chain is much more flexible and adopts a significantly different conformation in each case. Aromatic π–π stacking inter­actions are the only supramolecular inter­actions seen in all three structures.     

Sensitive determination of traces of boron in waters,fertilizers na geological and biological materials by isotope-dilution mass spectrometry

A method is described for determining traces of boron in water, fertilizers, geological and biological (reference) materials by isotope-dilution mass spectrometry after separation on an Amberlite IRA-743 borate-selective ion-exchange column. Boron (–250 ng g^?1) in water can be determined with an accuracy of 5–20% (computed on a 2s basis). After correction for weighing errors and for moisture, content, which varied from 0 to 8% for the samples tested, 1–35 μg g^?1 boron in “dry” fertilizer, biological or geological sample can be assayed with an accuracy of 5–30% (2s). In an IAEA interlaboratory program on a simulated fresh water, the method yielded a value of 24.3 +? 2 μg l^?1, compared to the make-up value of 25 μg l^?1.     

1-Chloro-1-(trichlorovinyl)cyclopropane : Molecular structure and conformation in the gaseous phase as determined by electron diffraction

A gas phase electron diffraction investigation of 1-chloro-1-(trichlorovinyl)cyclopropane at 65° showed the existence of one conformer having a perpendicular arrangement of the cyclopropyl- and the trichlorovinylgroup, with torsional angle τ = 91(3)° relative to τ = 180° for the antiperiplanar conformer (CCl-CClanti arrangement). Both the experimental data and a molecular mechanics calculation indicate the lower barrier toward the antiperiplanar form,less than 40 kJ · mol^-1. The second barrier was by molecular mechanics calculated to 60 kJ · mol^-1.
