Spectroscopic Study of Proton-Transfer Interaction between Methylbis(1-silatranylmethyl)amine and Phenols

Acid-base interaction of phenol and 4-nitrophenol with methylbis(1-silatranylmethyl)amine in acetonitrile is completely shifted toward formation of solvation-separated ion pairs. The unusually high electron-donor power of the exocyclic nitrogen atom in the amine is due to the presence of two silatranylmethyl groups exhibiting a super-electron-donor inductive effect.     

Transport properties of polyphenylquinoxalines

The correlation between chemical structure and gas transport properties is considered for a new class of membrane materials based on structurally similar polyphenylquinoxalines that are characterized by different numbers of flexible-O-ether bonds in the repeating unit and different chain rigidities. Permeability, diffusion, and solubility coefficients have been estimated for the gases H₂, He, O₂, N₂, CO, CO₂, and CH₄; separation factors for various gas pairs have been determined. For the materials with a similar level of cohesive energy density, which characterizes interchain interactions, permeability decreases with a decrease in chain rigidity, whereas selectivity of gas separation increases.     

Selection of membrane materials for separation of H2-containing mixtures: Database analysis

Correlation between the chemical structure and transport characteristics of polyimides that are used for separation of hydrogen-containing mixtures is analyzed. The effect of various functional groups (keto-, oxy-, methoxy-, amino-, and others) in polyimides is considered in detail. The group-contribution method is demonstrated to be efficient for prediction of the transport properties of new polyimides and for the search for new promising diamine-dianhydride combinations. The empirical analysis of the database accumulated at the Topchiev Institute of Petrochemical Synthesis, Russian Academy of Sciences, confirms the perspectiveness of further investigations of new membrane materials for separation of H₂-CH₄ and H₂-CO gas pairs.     

Reaction of sodium amide with 1-chloromethylsilatrane

The reaction of 1-chloromethylsilatrane with sodium amide in benzene is accompanied by ring expansion with formation of 1-amino-2-carba-3-oxahomosilatrane.     

Rheological and Electrophysical Characteristics of Polyvinyl Alcohol Solutions Containing Copper and Cobalt Chlorides

Rheological and electrical properties of polyvinyl alcohol solutions containing copper(II) and cobalt(II) chlorides are studied. Anomalous behavior of these properties is associated with complex formation, depending on the component ratio and temperature.     

Polyfunctional compounds containing the 4,6-dialkoxy-7-arylthioheptene moiety as synthetically useful intermediates. The course of lewis acid-induced transformations

Data on the selectivity of the Lewis acids induced transformations of the title compounds are presented, and the routes leading to formation of products containing either cyclohexane or 1,3-diene units are described.
