[1]Benzothienopyrimidines. II. Study of the electrophilic substitutions of [1]benzothieno[3,2-d]pyrimidine and [1]benzothieno[3,2-d]pyrimidin-4-(3H)one

The nitration and bromination of both [1]benzothieno[3,2-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)one ( 1 ) and [1]benzothieno-[3,2-d]pyrimidine ( 2 ) has been studied. Nitration of 1 at ?30° afforded a mixture of 8-nitro[1]benzothieno-[3,2-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)one ( 7b ) (70%) and 6-nitro[1]benzothieno[3,2-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)one ( 7a ) (30%). However when the nitration was carried out at 60°, the 6,8-dinitro derivative 8 was the result. On the contrary, the nitration of 2 at ?30° gave a single nitration product, 8-nitro[1]benzothieno[3,2-d]pyrimidine ( 11 ). The bromination of both 1 and 2 gave the corresponding 8-bromo derivatives 10 and 13 . Assignment of structure of all the products was based on ir and nmr spectral studies and on unequivocal syntheses.     

Three-dimensional PTx phase diagrams through interactive computer graphics

Interactive computer graphic techniques have been developed for the display of binary mixture phase diagrams. The diagrams are defined in temperature-pressure-composition space, and are portrayed as wireframe objects with depth perception in order to provide a three-dimensional effect. The displays used were vectro refresh workstations whose transformation hardware allows real-time rotation, rescaling, and translation of the diagrams, while software allows the extraction of constant property Px, Tx, PT and x - y plots. The equilibrium surfaces and the critical lines were calculated using the Redlich-Kwong equation of state and its Soave modification.     

Etude structurale de la forme ordonnée de LiAl5O8

A single crystal of ordered LiAl₅O₈ has been prepared by image furnace melting and its structure has been determined; 400 X-ray reflections were collected on an automatic counter diffractometer (MoKα radiation). The structure is of the spinel type. The space group is P4₃32 (or P4₁32); the lattice parameter is a = 7.908(2), Å, Z = 4. The value of R is 0.022. The distribution of cations shows the absence of Li⁺ ions in tetrahedral cation sites and 1–3 imperfect ordering of Li⁺ and Al₃₊ in octahedral cation sites of spinel.     

Rang des matrices Hermitiennes semi-définies positives indéfiniment divisibles

In this paper we study n × n Hermitian semidefinite positive matrices which are infinitely divisible in a sense that we define in Sec. 1. We establish (Theorem 2.2) a stability property for the rank of the “Hadamard power matrices” of such a matrix.     

Tartaric acid extraction of organotin compounds from sediment samples

A new extraction method for the determination of tributyltin (TBT), dibutyltin (DBT) and monobutyltin (MBT) in sediments based on extraction with tartaric acid and methanol has been developed. Tin species were extracted from sediment samples using focused microwave technology, then ethylated with sodium tetraethylborate (NaBEt₄) and analyzed by isotope dilution (ID) gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The advantages of such methodology in comparison with other established extraction methods for the routine speciation analysis of organotin compounds are discussed with respect to sulfur interferences co-extracted from complex matrices.Interferences from elemental sulfur are normally found with acetic acid extraction, but with tartaric acid extraction these interferences were eliminated, demonstrating selective extraction.The accuracy of the analytical procedure was established by analyzing a certified reference material (CRM) (PACS-2, marine sediment) and comparing the results to the certified values. Good agreement between determined and certified values for butyltin compounds was obtained. Finally, some complex sediment samples collected from San Vicente's Bay, Chile, were analyzed with the proposed methodology, demonstrating its potential value for monitoring butyltins in environmental samples with high concentrations of sulfur compounds.     

Blended Conjugated Host and Unconjugated Dopant Polymers Towards N-type All-Polymer Conductors and High-ZT Thermoelectrics

N-Type thermoelectrics typically consist of small molecule dopant+polymer host. Only a few polymer dopant+polymer host systems have been reported, and these have lower thermoelectric parameters. N-type polymers with high crystallinity and order are generally used for high-conductivity ( ) organic conductors. Few n-type polymers with only short-range lamellar stacking for high-conductivity materials have been reported. Here, we describe an n-type short-range lamellar-stacked all-polymer thermoelectric system with highest of 78 S⁻¹, power factor (PF) of 163 μW m⁻¹ K⁻², and maximum Figure of merit (ZT) of 0.53 at room temperature with a dopant/host ratio of 75 wt%. The minor effect of polymer dopant on the molecular arrangement of conjugated polymer PDPIN at high ratios, high doping capability, high Seebeck coefficient (S) absolute values relative to , and atypical decreased thermal conductivity ( ) with increased doping ratio contribute to the promising performance.
