General alloy analogs of itinerant magnetic systems

Magnetically disordered, strong correlated itinerant electron systems are studied within the Hubbard model. Following an alloy analogy, the approximated system hamiltonian contains local vectoral magnetic fields at the atomic sites, which can be oriented into all space directions. The statistical system of the localized magnetic moments (due to the fields) is treated by the aid of a generalized CPA-technique. Supposing a macroscopic magnetic structure of sublattice antiferromagnetism, the formation of incomplete antiferromagnetic ordering of the localized moments is examined. The results show, that the electron density plays an essential roll for the question, whether or not it is possible to go beyond the pure (itinerant) antiferromagnetic state. Including the results of earlier papers for homogeneous macroscopic magnetic structure, on the whole scale of electron densities it is summed up (at zero temperature), where the different states (without-, with incomplete- or with complete magnetic order) are able to exist. It is shown, for fixed density respectively, which different phases are passed through on changing the coupling constant.Work supported by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft     

Synthesis of pyrrolidine-substituted benzamides via iodocyclization of β-enaminoesters

Novel 2-, and N-substituted 5-methylene-pyrrolidine benzamides and 2-, 3-, and N-substituted 5-methylene-2-pyrroline benzamides were synthesized for the first time in a straightforward manner and in good yields via iodocyclization of γ- and α-alkenyl-β-enaminoesters, respectively. The key step in the process is the synthesis of the methylene-pyrrolidine iodide and methylene-2-pyrroline iodide intermediates. Functional group inter-conversion of these iodides to their amino analogs, and their subsequent coupling to benzoic acids via EDC, afforded the above pyrrolidine/2-pyrroline-substituted benzamides in yields of around 75%.     

The Structure of Tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)tellurium(IV), Te(C6F5)4

Tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)tellurium(IV), Te(C₆F₅)₄, was prepared from the reaction of TeCl₄ and Mg(C₆F₅)Br. Crystallization of the crude product from n‐pentane at ?25 °C gave suitable single crystals. The title compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c (Z = 8) with two independent molecules per unit cell.     

First experiments on transmutation studies of129I and237Np using relativistic protons of 3.7 GeV

First experiments on the transmutation of long-lived¹²⁹I and²³⁷Np using relativistic protons of 3.7 GeV are described. Relativistic protons generate in extended Pb-targets substancial neutron fluences. These neutrons get moderated in paraffin and are used for transmutation as follows:¹²⁹I(n,)¹³⁰I and²³⁷Np(n,)²³⁸Np. The isotopes¹³⁰I (T _1/2-12.36 h) and²³⁸Np (T _1/2=2.117 d) were identified radiochemically. One can estimate the transmutation cross-section (n,) in the given neutron field as (¹²⁹I(n,))=(10±2)b and (²³⁷Np(n,))=(140±30)b The experiments were carried out in November 1996 at the Synchrophasotron, LHE, Dubna, Russia. The investigation has been performed at the Laboratory of High Energies, JINR, Dubna.     

Anthracene Based Bulky Diol Hosts. Crystal Structures of a Free Host and of Inclusion Compounds with Dipolar Guests

X-ray crystal structures are reported of a free host compound 1, comprising two diphenylmethanol terminal groups attached to a central 9,10-ethynyl substituted anthracene unit, and of three inclusion compounds of a fluoren-9-ol substituted analogous host 2 with acetone, dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO) and dimethylformamide (DMF) as guest, respectively. Despite the presence of two hydroxyl groups in 1, there is no O–H...O hydrogen bond between the molecules in the guest free crystal – only weaker C–H...O interactions and van der Waals' type connections. In the inclusion compounds of 2, H-bonded 1:2 host–guest associates are formed, where each of the host hydroxyl groups binds to a guest oxygen atom. The orientations of the host–guest connections in these complexes vary, being E for acetone and Z for both DMSO and DMF guests, relative to the host anthracene unit. The DMSO and DMF inclusion compounds of 2 proved to be isostructural.
