The X-ray diffraction crystal structure determination and electron impact fragmentations of the gaseous ions of 3-(p-chlorophenyl)-1-methyltriazene-1-oxide and its 3-methyl derivative

The decomposition of the gaseous positive ions of the title compounds obtained by electron impact have been completely mapped. The X-ray structural determinations of these two substances established their identity definitively and allowed to reveal some interesting features of these molecules of pharmaceutical interest.     

Commutative semigroup cohomology

Triple cohomology for commutative semigroups is described in concrete terms and related to existing extensions.     

Spectral and voltammetric studies on titanium substituted Keggin-type heteropolyanions

Bonding and redox properties of mono- and dititanium substituted 12-heteropolytungsto-phosphates and their complexes with bivalent Mn, Co, Ni and Cu are studied by UV-Vis, ESR and cyclicvoltammetric techniques. The heteropoly blue analogue [Ti^IIITi^IVW₁₀PO₄₀]⁸⁻ is unstable and its presence in solution is proved by optical and ESR spectroscopy. ESR results reveal that the odd electron is trapped on the titanium atom at 77 K. The optical electronegativity of Ti(III) in this heteropoly blue is estimated to be 2.4 from the intervalence charge transfer (IVCT) bands. X-ray powder diffraction results show that the complexes K₅M^II[Ti₂W₁₀PO₄₀].xH₂O(M^II = Cu or Mn) are isomorphous with K₇[Ti₂W₁₀PO₄₀].6H₂O. Electronic spectroscopy indicates very high symmetry around the bivalent metal ion M in the K₅M^II[Ti₂W₁₀PO₄₀].xH₂O complexes. This high symmetry is confirmed in K₅Cu[Ti₂W₁₀PO₄₀] by the observation of dynamic Jahn-Teller (JT) distortion at 300 K and static JT distortion at 77 K.     

Bromination of 4-substituted thiazolylhydrazones

4-Phenyl- and 4-methylthiazolylhydrazones were brominated in chloroform and acetic acid. The use of 1.5 equivalents of bromine led to the exclusive formation of the 5-halo derivatives. Effects of substituents on the thiazole ring and of the hydrazone fragment aromatic ring on the course of the reaction were discovered.Urals State Technical University-UPI, 620002 Yekaterinburg.

Two- and three-dimensional analysis of bose-einstein correlations inπ +/K+p interactions at 250 GeV/c

The NA22 data onπ ^? π ^? correlations are analyzed in terms of a number of two- and three-dimensional parametrizations (Gaussian space-time, Goldhaber, Bowler string-like, Bertsch hydrodynamical, Kopylov-Podgoretskii, etc.). Contrary to the results obtained for e⁺e^? andµp collisions, the Goldhaber parametrization, as well as string-like models, fail in describing the hadron-hadron data. Better fits are obtained in the framework of surface-emitting fireball-like models, both when including and excluding hydrodynamical expansion of nuclear matter. Our results indicate that pion radiation occurs at earlier stages of matter evolution than in nuclear collisions.     

Spectral shift function and trace formula

The complete proofs of Krein’s theorem on the spectral shift function and the trace formula are given for a pair of self-adjoint operators such that either (i) their difference is trace-class or (ii) the difference of their resolvents is trace-class. The proofs, essentially due to Krein, is based on Herglotz’s theorem on the boundary value of the analytic functions whose imaginary part is non-negative on the upper half plane, and an almost optimal class of functions are obtained for which the trace formula is valid. Also an alternative method based on Weyl-von Neumann’s theorem for self-adjoint operators, avoiding the complex function theory and inspired by Voiculescu’s work, is given for the first case. Furthermore, some applications of the spectral shift function have been discussed.     

Lower branch of the spectrum of a fermion interacting with a bosonic gas (polaron)

The lower single-particle bound state of a fermion interacting with a bosonic gas is studied. In the case of a small coupling constant, the employed method makes it possible to improve significantly the accuracy of the previously known results on the polaron branch of the spectrum. The results give a hint that in one-and two-dimensional systems there may exist an excited polaron state with small value of the momentum.Institute of Problems of Information Transmission, Russian Academy of Sciences Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Matematicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 92, No. 2, pp. 255–268, August, 1992.
