Polynuclear nonfused bis(1,3,4-oxadiazole)-containing systems

Nonfused bis-1,3,4-oxadiazoles were synthesized by reaction of 5-substituted mono-and bis-tetrazoles with mono-and dicarboxylic acid chlorides. The results of kinetic studies showed that the transformation of tetrazoles into 1,3,4-oxadiazoles is accelerated by 1 to 2 orders of magnitude on addition of a catalytic amount of dimethylformamide, triethylamine, or pyridine.     

The mechanism of 2-methylbutene-2 hydrohalogenation in solid phase

Complexes and reactions of 2-methylbutene-2 with hydrohalogen (HCl, HBr) have been studied in solid phase at 80–150 K. It has been found that 2-methylbutene-2 forms with HX complexes of 1:1 and 1:2 composition. Hydrohalogenation proceeds via the rearrangement of complex 2HX·C₅H₁₀ into complex of the addition product with HX. Kinetic equation depends on the reagents ratio. In excess of HX (1< HX:C₅H₁₀< 10) reaction can be described by the first order kinetic equation. If the ratio HX:C₅H₁₀ is more than 10, reaction is described by polychronous kinetic law. The effective activation energy of solid phase hydrohalogenation does not exceed 20 kJ/mole. The molecular mechanism of hydrohalogenation in solid phase has been proposed.     

Two wavelength-CARS thermometry of hydrogen

In this work, we present the results of two-wavelength (2)-CARS thermometry of hydrogen at temperatures from 300–1200 K. The choice of the pair of spectral lines for the 2-CARS thermometer with respect to optimal temperature sensitivity within a given temperature range was analysed. Software was developed to process the experimental data and calculate the temperature. In the experiments, temperature and density were measured in a heated cell using single-shot and averaged CARS intensities in the pure rotationalS branch. The accuracy achieved and its dependence on measured temperature values and on the number of averaged shots was analysed.The sponsoring of this work by the Stabsabteilung Internationale Beziehungen at the Kernforschungszentrum Karlsruhe under project number RUS 222.12 is gratefully acknowledged     

q-Weyl coefficients forU q (3) andq-Racah coefficients forSU q (2)

We show that theq-Weyl coefficients of the quantum algebraSU _q (3) are equal to theq-Racah coefficients of the quantum algebraSU _q (2) (up to a simple phase factor). Using aq-analog of the resummation procedure we obtain also theq-analogues of all known general analytical expressions for the 6j-symbols (or the Racah coefficients) of the quantum algebraSU _q (2) starting from one such formula.Presented at the 4th Colloquium Quantum groups and integrable systems, Prague, 22–24 June 1995.The research described in this publication was supported in part by Grants No. MB1000 and No. NRC000 from International Science Foundation.

Polarization fluoroimmunoassays for the specific determination of amphetamine and methamphetamine in urine with the abbott TDx-analyzer

Two polarization fluoroimmunoassays for the screening of amphetamine and methamphetamine in urine were adapted for use with the Abbott TD_x-Analyzer running in the automatic mode. The detection limits of amphetamine and methamphetamine in 10 μl of urine were 0.03 and 0.05 mg l^?1, respectively. These assays were specific for the determination of amphetamine (cross-reactivity with methamphetamine 1%) or for the determination of methamphetamine (cross-reactivity with amphetamine 2.5%). No significant cross-reaction was observed with other drugs of abuse (ephedrine, morphine and butabarbital).     

Reactions of Elemental Phosphorus with Electrophiles in Super Basic Systems: XVII. Phosphorylation of Arylalkenes with Active Modifications of Elemental Phosphorus

The example of the phosphorylation of styrene and 2-vinylnaphthalene with elemental phosphorus in the KOH-DMSO system at room or elevated temperature was used to show that the activated red phosphorus prepared from white phosphorus under ionizing radiation has a reactivity comparable with that of white phosphorus and significantly higher than that of ordinary technical red phosphorus.
