EPR spectra and structure of 1,2-dihydroxy- and 1,2,4-trihydroxy-anthrasemiquinones

Conclusions Radicals of hydroxyanthrasemiquinones were generated by chemical and electrochemical reduction and their probable structures established by EPR.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 4, pp. 822–827, April, 1986.     

Reduction electrochimique du ferrocene

A well characterized 1e^? reversible polarographic wave is observed at low temperature (? ?30°C) for ferrocene and methylferrocene in dimethylformamide. At higher temperatures, a 2e reductive cleavage of the molecule occurs.     

Azo initiators for the preparation of hydroxyl-terminated polybutadienes

Azo compounds such as di(4-hydroxybutyl)-2,2′-azobisisobutyrate, di(3-hydroxybutyl)-2,2′-azobisisobutyrate, di(2-hydroxypropyl)-2,2′-azobisisobutyrate, and di(2-hydroxyethyl)-2,2′-azobisisobutyrate were prepared and used as initiators for the preparation of hydroxyl-terminated polybutadienes (HTPBs) of molecular weight (M?_n) ranging from 2000 to 7500 and functionality between 1.90 and 3.0. The polymers were prepared by free-radical solution polymerization in dioxane and toluene. The polymers obtained were characterized for their molecular weight, hydroxyl number, functionality, and instrinsic viscosity.

Modellrechnungen zum Dendriten-Wachstum in partiell-kristallinen Hochpolymeren

Zusammenfassung Überstrukturen in partiell-kristallinen Thermoplasten liegen oft in Gestalt von Sphärolithen vor. Es wird versucht, ihre Entstehung auf behindertes Dendritenwachstum zurückzuführen. Die durch das Simulationsmodell beschriebenen Strukturen werden mit experimentell beobachteten verglichen.

Superstructures in partial-crystalline thermoplastics often show the shape of spherulites. The reason of this can be a handicapped growth of dendrites. The structures obtained by a simulation model are compared with those obtained by experiments.

Catalytic activity of palladium-containing zeolites in the complete oxidation of benzene

The dependence of palladium distribution in zeolites on the temperature of thermal treatment has been established from the data on oxygen chemisorption and the statistical processing of electron micrographs. The influence of palladium distribution in zeolites on their catalytic activity towards the complete oxidation of benzene has been shown.
