Sorption of butane, propane, ethane, methane, and carbon dioxide on asphaltene

Isotherms of sorption of butane, propane, ethane, methane, and carbon dioxide on an asphaltene sample of known elemental composition were measured. The effect of the pressure and temperature on the shape the sorption isotherms for all the adsorption systems studied was examined. The values of the initial heat of sorption were determined and compared to the energies of interaction of the molecules with asphaltene. The results obtained suggest that asphaltene is a swellable amorphous sorbent.     

Thermal oxidative degradation of a composition based on a polyester resin and tetramethylammonium chloride

Thermal oxidative degradation of a composition based on a polyester resin modified with rosin and tetramethylammonium chloride and its use as a flux for low-temperature solder pastes were studied.     

Reaction of 3,4-diaminofurazan with β-keto esters

The reaction of some linear and cyclic -keto esters with 3,4-diaminofurazan was investigated. Products of condensation at the keto group and the corresponding furazanodiazepinones were isolated and characterized. The structures of the compounds obtained are discussed.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 9, pp. 1196–1199, September, 1978.     

Crystal and molecular structures of 2,10-diacetoxy-13-thiabicyclo[7.3.1]-cis-tridec-5-ene and 2,9-dichloro-13-thiabicyclo[8.2.1]-cis-tridec-5-ene sulfoxide

The crystal and molecular structures of 2,10-diacetoxy-13-thiabicyclo[7.3.1]-cis-tridec-5-ene and 2,9-dichloro-13-thiablcyclo[8.2.1]-cis-tridec-5-ene sulfoxide were established. The conformations of the molecules are such that the unshared pairs of electrons of the sulfur atoms are directed to the carboncarbon double bonds of their molecules. It was observed that there are stereochemical conditions for transannular transformations under the influence of polarized molecules and cations.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 12, pp. 1628–1632, December, 1977.     

NQR spectra of alloys of antimony-cadmium-zinc system

Conclusions A number of metal alloys in the Sb-Cd-Zn system was studied for the first time by the NQR method on the^121,123Sb nuclei. The constants of the quadrupole bond and the asymmetry parameter of the compounds ZnSb were determined.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No; 7. pp. 1638–1640, July, 1977.
