The stimulated raman scattering process for possible use in photoselective isotope enrichment

The process of stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) is discussed as a means of achieving sizeable transient populations in the first vibrationally excited state of one species out of an isotopic mixture. This may be useful for photoselective isotope enrichment schemes. The main advantage of SRS excitation is the possibility of using one fixed-wavelength laser for the study of various compounds; also there is an inherent tendency to selectivity in SRS since the more abundant species in an isotopic mixture will show a higher gain for SRS. Sample calculations are presented showing Q-switched solid-state lasers to be good sources for selective excitation of gaseous mixtures, while mode-locked laser pulses are required for liquid samples.     

Condensed and bonded quinoxalines

2-Chloro-3-formylquinoxaline was synthesized from 2-chloro-3-methylquinoxaline by the Kröhnke method, and the properties of its phenylhydrazone were studied. It was found that 2-Y-3-formylquinoxalines display an anomalously low reactivity as compared with 2-Y-benzoylquinoxalines (Y=H, OH, Cl) in the synthesis of pyrazolo[3,4-b]quinoxalines.See [1] for communication IV.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 6, pp. 852–856, June, 1973.     

Prtolysis constants of pyridazin-6-one derivatives

The protolysis constants of pyridazin-6-one and some of its derivatives have been determined by the spectrophotometric method. The influence of substituents on the value of the protonation constants is discussed.Translated from Khimiya Geterots iklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 7, pp. 993–995, July, 1973.

Compositions and Structures of Methanesulfonic Acid Complexes with Acetonitrile According to IR Spectroscopic Data

IR spectra of solutions of methanesulfonic acid in acetonitrile are recorded and analyzed at 30°C at methanesulfonic acid concentrations ranging from 0 to 100%. Molecular 1 : 1 complexes with the coordination of the acid proton at the nitrogen atom of the acetonitrile molecule are formed over a wide range of acid concentrations. When the base is in excess, the whole amount of the acid is bound in these complexes. In solutions with excess acid, the solvation of the 1 : 1 complexes by several methanesulfonic acid molecules produces associates containing a structure fragment in which the acetonitrile molecule acts as both the donor and acceptor of hydrogen bonds. Hydrogen bonds involving CH₃ groups of acetonitrile can be formed when the 1 : 1 complexes are solvated by several acid molecules.
