Photochemical reduction of organic electron acceptors in aqueous solutions

Conclusions The formation of OH radicals in the photoreduction of aqueous solutions of anthraquinonesulfonic acid as the result of electron transfer from water (OH^–) to a triplet molecule has been demonstrated.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 11, pp. 2615–2617, November, 1969.     

Crystal chemistry of AB2X4 (X = S,Se, Te) compounds

An attempt is made to correlate the crystal structures of ternary chalcogenides of composition AB₂X₄ with the cationic radius ratio and a pseudo force-constant involving their electronegativities. The resultant diagram adequately resolves structures based on the types K₂SO₄, monoclinic, olivine, MnY₂S₄, Th₃P₄, and CaFe₂O₄ but structure types based on spinel, Cr₃Se₄, and Ag₂HgI₄ are not resolved. Crystal chemical arguments are used to explain these observations and to advance reasons for the successes and failures of this method for predicting structure types.
