Complexes of pyridinium cyclopentadienylide with chromium and molybdenum carbonyls

Conclusions The pyridinium cyclopentadienylidechromium(molybdenum) tricarbonyl complexes were synthesized and a study was made of their IR, NMR, and mass spectra.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 1, pp. 227–228, January, 1977.The authors express their gratitude to N. I. Vasyukova and G. A. Panosyan for taking the mass and NMR spectra.

Analysis of degradation products by thermal volatilization analysis at subambient temperatures

In the subambient thermal volatilization analysis (TVA) technique, degradation products initially at ?196°C are allowed to warm up to ambient temperature in a controlled manner under vacuum conditions, and volatilization from the sample tube to a trap at ?196°C is monitored by means of a Pirani gauge. The technique is discussed in relation to earlier TVA work in which volatilization from a heated polymer sample was followed. Design and operation of a subambient TVA system are described, and examples of the application of the technique to the study of the degradation products of seven polymers are considered.     

Behavior of 2-nitroso-4-nitropropiophenone under conditions of cyclization to haloanthranils

The cyclization of 2-nitroso-4-nitropropiophenone under the influence of hydrogen chloride proceeds in a more complex manner than in the cases previously described for other 4-substituted-2-nitrosopropiophenones: three, rather than two, haloanthranils are formed, and their formation is accompanied simultaneously by a number of redox transformations. This fact is explained by a decrease in the ability of the carbonyl group in the investigated ketone to undergo protonation.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 10, pp. 1334–1337, October, 1976.     

Electrocatalysis by foreign metal monolayers: Oxidation of formic acid on platinum

It was demonstrated that some foreign metal monolayers formed by underpotential deposition have pronounced catalytic effects on the oxidation of formic acid on platinum. The explanation of these effects was sought within the framewor of existing data on the formic acid oxidation and the underpotential deposition. It was found that the catalytic effect of foreign metal monolayers originates in the decrease of hydrogen adsorption thus preventing the formation of the main poisoning species COH. At the same time these experiments confirm the previously postulated mechanism of formation of the poisoning species involving adsorbed hydrogen.
