Hetero analogs of alloxazines. 2. Structure and tautomerism of 6,8-dimethyl-7,9-dioxo-5h-6,7,8,9-tetrahydropyrimido[4,5-b][4′,5′-e][1,4]thiazines

It is demonstrated by ¹³C NMR spectroscopy that the dipyrimidothiazines that are formed in the reaction of 1,3-dimethyl-5-nitro-6-chlorouracil with 4-R-5-amino-6-mercaptopyrimidines are dipyrimido[4,5-b][4,5-e] [1,4]thiazines. The tautomeric transformations of these compounds were studied.For communication 1, see [1]Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 10, pp. 1426–1432, October, 1992.     

Determination of cadmium by atomic-fluorescence and atomic-absorption spectrophotometry

The adaptation of a conventional atomic-absorption/flameemission spectrophotometer to the measurement of atomic-fluorescence in an air-acetylene flame is described. The determination of cadmium on the same instrument by both atomic-fluorescence and absorption shows that, even with a rather simple and inefficient means of exciting and measuring fluorescence, results can be obtained which indicate that the fluorescence technique is considerably more sensitive than atomic-absorbance and is equally free from inter-element interference.     

Non self-consistent field theory

Roothaan's SCF method [2] is reformulated so that two non-SCP methods are developed to solve the eigenequation. The results from these methods can be used as starting eigenfunctions for Roothaan's SCF method.

Synthesis and Molecular and Crystalline Structure of Polyfluoro-1,3-Diazafluorenes

Reactions of 2-amino-3-(1-imino-2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)hexafluoro-1H-indene with carboxylic acid anhydrides and chlorides afforded 2-alkyl(aryl)-4-trifluoromethyl-5,6,7,8,9,9-hexafluoro-1,3-diazafluorenes. The molecular and crystalline structure of the products was studied by NMR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. 5,6,7,8,9,9-Hexafluoro-2-phenyl-4-trifluoromethyl-1,3-diazafluorene in crystal gives rise to infinite ladder chains via -stacking interaction between the benzene ring of one molecule and tetrafluorobenzene fragment of the other.     

Synthesis and Structure of Tri-p-tolylantimony Ditosylate

Tri-p-tolylantimony reacts with p-toluenesulfonic acid in the presence of benzoyl peroxide (1 : 2 : 1 molar ratio) in ether to give tri-p-tolylantimony ditosylate in 91% yield. According to X-ray diffraction data, the central antimony atom has the trigonal bipyramidal coordination with the axial location of the tosyl groups. The Sb-O bond lengths are 2.07(2) and 2.17(2) Å; Sb-C bond lengths, 2.08(3), 2.13(3), and 2.13(3) Å; and OSbO bond angle, 175.6(7)°.     

Natural radionuclide-free phosphoric acid production

High-uranium phosphate rock from Itataia, Brazil, was milled for wet-process phosphoric acid production using the dihydrate method. Uranium contained in the phosphoric acid was recovered by solvent extraction. The distribution of long-lived natural radionuclides of the ²³⁸U and ²³²Th decay series involved in these operations was evaluated. ²²⁶Ra, ²²⁸Ra and ²¹⁰Pb were found to predominate in the phosphogypsum, while ²²⁸Th, ²³⁰Th and ²³²Th in the uranium-free phosphoric acid. Thorium is removed from the phosphoric acid by solvent extraction to produce a NORM-free phosphoric acid.
