Analyse de couches minces de verres chalcogenures par diffusion elastique de protons et mesure de gammas prompts

Résumé Une méthode d'étude de la composition stoéchiométrique de couches minces (10 à 500 μg/cm²) de verres chalcogénures est développée. L'étude des réactions nucléaire; induites par bombardement de protons de basse énergie (<4 MeV) sur les éléments constitutifs Ge, As, Te et S, conduit à choisir la diffusion élastique et la détection de gammas prompts pour le dosage simulatené. La précision et la sensibilité de la méthode sont discutées à partir des résultats obtenus. L'utilisation de la résonance fine sur le soufre (p, p'γ) est appliquée à l'étude de l'homogénéité des cibles.     

Dissociative ionization of methyl-substituted hydroxyquinolines

The mass spectra of the following methyl-substituted hydroxyquinolines have been studied in the range of energies of the ionizing electrons of 15–50 eV: 2-hydroxy-4-methylquinoline, 6-hydroxy-2-methylquinoline, 6-hydroxy-4-methylquinoline, 8-hydroxy-2-methylquinoline, 8-hydroxy-4-methylquinoline, 2,6-dihydroxy-4-methylquinoline, and 4,6-dihydroxy-2-methylquinoline. It has been shown that the processes of dissociative ionization for the series of compounds investigated take place exclusively from the keto forms of the molecular ions. The stability to electron impact is determined largely by the degree of enolization of the structures considered. The values of the selective decomposition are given and a scheme is proposed for the identification of the isomeric methyl-substituted hydroxyquinolines.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 7, pp. 972–978, July, 1973.

EPR spectra of halogenonitromethane anion radicals

Conclusions It was deduced that fluorine is in a -combined state in the anion radicals we studied; this was based on an analysis of the EPR spectra of a series of fluoronitroalkane anion radicals.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 2, pp. 458–460, February, 1969.In conclusion, the authors express their appreciation to A. A. Fainzil'berg for his interest in our work.     

Reactivity of Arylhydrazones toward Molecular Oxygen

The kinetics and mechanism of reaction of arylhydrazones with molecular oxygen were studied by gas volumetry. The reaction rate was studied in relation to the structure of arylhydrazone and kind of the solvent. The inhibiting power of the compounds toward initiated oxidation of ethylbenzene was evaluated, and the most effective compounds were found, judging from the ratio of the rate constants of the reactions with molecular oxygen and with peroxy radicals arising in the course of ethylbenzene oxidation.     

Mechanism of Dehydrobromination of 1,2-Dibromo-1-phenylethane under Conditions of Phase-Transfer Catalysis

Selective dehydrobromination of 1,2-dibromo-1-phenylethane to -bromostyrene was effected under conditions of phase-transfer catalysis in systems containing KOH, toluene, and tetraalkylammonium bromides. The high selectivity of the catalytic systems originates from stabilization by lipophilic cation of the phase-transfer catalyst of a E1cb-like transition state in the E2 mechanism. In the presence of a catalytic amount of lipophilic alcohols, phenylacetylene was obtained. Substrate activation by alcohol molecules is explained by enhancement of the acceptor power of halogen atoms due to solvation and by increased mobility of hydrogen atoms.     

Hydrodynamic and conformational properties of cellulose myristate molecules in solution

Cellulose myristate samples with a degree of substitution of 230–250 have been studied by the methods of molecular hydrodynamics (viscometry, analytical ultracentrifugation (flotation), and isothermal translational diffusion) in chloroform in the range M = (56–652) × 10³. The experimental evidence has been interpreted within the framework of the generalized wormlike Yamakawa-Fuji model with the following parameters: the persistence length a = 115 × 10^?8 cm, the chain diameter d = 45 × 10^?8 cm, and the molecular mass per unit chain length M _L = 270 × 10⁸ cm^?1. It has been inferred that the polymer dissolves in chloroform in the form of dimers.     

Classification of heavy-metal fluorides. fluorides with fluorite-like cation arrangement

The main feature of fluorite structure type is four families of crystallographic planes with dense trigon cation nets which are mutually oriented as the faces of a regular octahedron. A complicated cation composition may cause lowering of general symmetry to tetragonal (only one four-fold axis remains in the octahedral complex), rhombohedral (one three-fold axis), orthorhombic, and monoclinic. The geometric parameters of the cation sublattice remain constant. They are close to the parameters of the ideal face-centered cubic cation sublattice of fluorite (the measure of similarity is 1.00–0.81). This is true for all analyzed fluoride structures and some U⁴⁺, Th⁴⁺, Zr, and Ln oxyfluorides. Thus, the concept is confirmed that the crystalline state is determined by systems of parallel planes filled by dense heavy-atom nets.
