Spectral and electrochemical properties of polyaniline-V2O5 composites of the intercalation type

We propose a new approach to obtaining composites of the intercalation type based on polyaniline and V₂O₅. We have determined the characteristics of these composites using x-ray diffraction, IR spectroscopy, and EPR. We show that the compounds obtained exhibit stable redox properties in aqueous and aprotic electrolytes.Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Éksperimental'naya Khimiya, Vol. 31, No. 6, pp. 361–364, November–December, 1995.We would like to express our thanks to V.

Intracavity laser polarization spectrometer for biomolecule traces

A polarization variant of an intracavity laser spectrometer based on the competition of beams in an argon ion laser, radiating a number of narrow lines in the 275 to 529 nm spectral range, is proposed and described for the spectral analysis of liquid samples, having broad absorption bands, mainly biomolecules in solutions. By careful optimization of the operating conditions, a procedure has been established that results in a minimal measurable absorbance decreased up to 10(-5) units of optical density. The examined spectrometer provides a wide dynamic range of analysis. A determination of trace contents of amino acids in methanol were carried out.     

Photochemical properties and structures ofN-amino andN-azomethine derivatives of 2,4,6-triphenylpyridinium perchlorates

The molecular structures of the initial compounds and the products of photocyclization involving amino and azomethine groups in perchlorates ofN-amino (1) andN-azomethine (2) derivatives of 2,4,6-triphenylpyridinium cations were studied. Cations1 and2 have an essentially non-coplanar arrangement of the -Ph rings, and the product of photocyclization of2, cation3, is characterized by a flattened structure. It was found that the orientation of the lone electron pair of the N atom with respect to one of the planes of the -Ph rings in molecule1 is more favorable for monocyclization involving the amino group. The structure of molecule2 allows two routes of the photoreaction,viz., O N proton transfer and monocyclization with an -Ph ring. However, the structural features of molecule2 are more favorable for photocyclization.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 2, pp. 296–301, February, 1995.     

1,4-Phenylen-bis-diphenylderivate der Elemente der 5. Hauptgruppe des Periodensystems

Zusammenfassung Die Darstellung sämtlicher am mittleren Benzolkern p-substitutierten Verbindungen (C₆H₅)₂ MC₆H₄ M(C₆H₅)₂ mitM=N, P, As, Sb und Bi wird beschrieben. Für die bereits bekannte Stickstoff-bzw. Arsen-Verbindung konnte ein neuer Darstellungs-weg mit guten Ausbeuten gefunden werden, während die Antimon-und Wismutverbindung erstmals beschrieben werden. Durch Dipolmomentmessungen, UV- und IR-Aufnahmen ist ein Vergleich mit den einfachen Triphenylderivaten der genannten Elemente möglich.

The compounds p-(C₆H₅)₂ MC₆H₄ M(C₆H₅)₂,M=N, P, As, Sb, and Bi, were prepared. New methods for the preparation of the N and As compound with good yields were found. The Sb and Bi compound were synthesized for the first time. Dipole moments, IR- and UV-spectra of these compounds were compared with those of the triphenyl derivates.

Effect of Treatment with Carbon Dioxide of the Zn Form of the TsVK Zeolite on Its Acid and Catalytic Properties in the Conversion of Methanol to Hydrocarbons

It is shown that it is possible to increase the yield of liquid hydrocarbons of the benzene fraction in the Mobil process by use of a catalyst modified by treatment with CO₂ of the Zn form of the TsVK zeolite. It is established that on treatment with CO₂ of the Zn-TzVK zeolite the concentration of strongly acidic -centers is increased. As a result of alkylation of C₂-C₄ olefins by methanol at these sites more of the high molecular C₅-C₈ aliphatic hydrocarbons are formed. Selectivity of conversion of methanol to liquid C₅-C₁₀ hydrocarbons of the benzene fraction is increased, but selectivity with respect to the light C₂-C₄ fractions is decreased.
