Study of the thermal stages of the photoinitiated cyclization of diarylamines with polyhalogenated methanes

On the basis of a study of the kinetics of the dark stages of the photoinitiated formation of acridines from substituted diphenylamines and bromoform the ionic nature of these stages was confirmed. Quantum chemical calculations confirmed the assumption of the dependence of the efficiency of cyclization on the charge state of the reacting molecules.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 3, pp. 564–569, March, 1991.     

Molecular and crystal structure of 1,3,10,12-tetraoxa-6,7,15,16-tetrathiacyclooctadecane recovered from a polysulfide oligomer

Conclusions The geometric parameters of the molecules of the main cyclic-fraction component contained in a polysulfide oligomer synthesized from 2,2-dichlorodiethylformal were determined. The cyclic structure assigned to this compound according to mass spectrometric data was confirmed.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 2, pp. 338–340, February, 1988.The authors thank A.

Dynamic thermal decomposition of linear polymers and its study by thermo analytical methods

Kinetic schemes allowing to interprete the results of high-temperature gravimetric analysis of linear polymers are proposed. A thermoanalytical method has been developed in which the time for establishing constant temperature in the sample is reduced by 1–2 s. The method can be used to determine to what temperature the polymer can be overheated.     

Reductive coupling of polyfunctionalized organobismuth and organolead arylating reagents in the synthesis of benzopyran derivatives

Benzopyran derivatives were synthesized in good yields by the reactions of tris[2-(chloromethyl)phenyl]bismuth diacetate and 2-(halomethyl)aryllead triacetates with phenols and naturally occurring 4-hydroxycoumarins in the presence of bases according to a three-step one-pot procedure.

Hydrogen Oxidation on a Platinum Microelectrode: Effect of Carbon Monoxide Impurities

The kinetics of the hydrogen oxidation and the CO adsorption on a Pt (ultra)microelectrode is studied in a 0.5 M H₂SO₄ solution saturated with a mixture of gaseous H₂ and CO at partial CO pressures p _CO = 10–500 ppm. The balance between rates of diffusion and adsorption of CO at different adsorption times is studied. Studied is the effect of CO impurities in H₂ on steady-state polarization curves for the hydrogen ionization and nonsteady-state curves of the oxidation current decay with time at 0.02–0.05 V. Conditions under which in a certain time interval and at a certain CO concentration the slope of an I vs. t curve is proportional to p _CO are determined. The obtained dependence may be used when designing a technique for monitoring CO impurities in technical hydrogen.     

High-Sensitivity Determination of Hydrocarbon Impurities in Arsine by Reaction Gas Chromatography

It is shown that the results of determining methane in high-purity arsine by reaction gas chromatography can be overestimated by more than two orders of magnitude. This overestimation is caused by the formation of methane as a side product of the reaction. Cryogenic preconcentration at the injection stage is proposed to improve the accuracy of determination of methane, and the cryofocusing of impurity hydrocarbons is proposed to improve separation. Detection limits of (3–10) × 10^–6 vol % are achieved for C₁–C₅ hydrocarbons.     

Radiation Crosslinking of an Acrylamide–Sodium Acrylate Copolymer in Aqueous Solutions

The effect of concentration of an acrylamide–sodium acrylate copolymer in an aqueous solution on the crosslinking of macromolecules by the action of ionizing radiation was studied. It was shown that the efficiency of radiation crosslinking of the copolymer increased with an increase in the concentration of solution subject to irradiation, which was tentatively explained in terms of the existence of fluctuative entanglement network ensuring the approaching of macroradical sites and, thus, facilitating the combination reactions of macroradicals.
