Thermodynamics of condensation of phthalonitrile with m-phenylenediamine

Conclusions The reaction of phthalonitrile condensation with m-phenylenediamine is thermodynamically allowed at temperatures from 250° to 500°K, and its equilibrium is almost completely shifted toward the formation of the macroheterocycle.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 4, pp. 779–787, April, 1984.     

Short communication

The diffusion of copper, nickel and cobalt in silicon single crystals during irradiation with MeV protons, was studied under various experimental conditions. Under the irradiation normally used for charged-particle activation radiation enhanced diffusion negligible. The diffusion of radioisotopes caused by thermal effects however, lead to important errors. It is important to control the temperature of the irradiated samples.

Synthesis and characterization of polymerizable bisphthalonitrile monomers

The reactions of 4-aminophthalonitrile (APN) with 3,3′,4,4′-benzophenone tetracarboxylic dianhydride (BPTDA), and with 1,2,3,4-benzenetetracarboxylic dianhydride (PMDA) have been studied to optimize the conditions for the synthesis of monomeric thermosetting bisphthalonitrile compound. Suitable procedures for the synthesis of the two monomers are presented. Elemental analyses, IR spectra, dynamic thermogravimetric analyses, differential scanning calorimetry, ¹H-NMR, and mass spectral studies have been used to characterize these compounds. Preliminary observations show that these materials can be polymerized to give high-temperature-resistant materials.     

Brillouin scattering and rotation translation coupling of (KCN)xX1−x mixed crystals

Brillouin scattering is used to study the concentration and temperature dependence of longitudinal and transverse phonon frequencies of KCN_χBr_1?χ, KCN_χC1_1?χ, and KCN_0.85I_0.15 mixed crystals. Unlike pure KCN, mixed crystals with χ < 0.7 show no phase transition upon cooling, and the transverse acoustic frequency ω_TA(110) displays a minimum at some characteristic temperature T_i.T_i is below the phase transition of pure KCN and depends on the C1^? concentration. The Brillouin data are discussed in terms of coupling of the acoustic phonons with orientational motion of CN^? ions and mean field theory.     

Isotope dilution mass spectrometry for micro- and trace-element determination

Isotope dilution mass spectrometry is an important method for accurate and precise determination of trace- and micro-amounts of the elements. Using different ionization techniques in the mass spectrometer most of the elements of the periodic table can be analysed.
