A study of thin surface layers by multilayer Mössbauer spectroscopy /MMS/

A stacking Mössbauer technique, MMS has been applied for studying thin surface layers. The surface layers formed on the⁵⁷Fe film in aqueous solutions of corrosion inhibitors, such as zinc phosphate and barium metaborate, and in distilled water was studied by this method. It has been found that the corrosion is much slower in the presence of zinc phosphate and barium metaborate. XPS analysis suggests the formation of a mixed iron zinc phosphate on the surface of the⁵⁷Fe film after corrosion in a zinc phosphate solution.     

Mass-spectrometric study of the cyclization of diazo ketones. 2. Cyclization of 1-diazo-4-sulfonylaminobutan-2-ones to N-sulfonylpyrrolidin-3-ones

A comparison of the mass spectra of 1-diazo-4-sulfonylamino-butan-2-ones and N-sulfonylpyrrolidin-3-ones makes it possible to conclude that under the conditions of electron impact and chemical ionization the molecular ions of the investigated diazo ketones lose a molecule of nitrogen and undergo partial cyclization to the corresponding pyrrolidinones without undergoing the Wolff rearrangement.See [1] for Communication 1.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 7, pp. 919–925, July, 1982.

Electronic regioselectivity in the reactions of pyridinium ylides with tetracyanoethylene

Highly regioselective reactions of pyridinium ylides with tetracyanoethylene occur via an Ad_N-E mechanism to form Z-isomers of 3-aroyl-3-(1-pyridinio)-1,1,2-tricyano-2-propenides-1, corresponding in structure to 1,4-ylides with maximum charge separation. If the unsaturated nitrite starting material contains a nucleofugal group 1,2-elimination predominates over 1,3-elimination.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 8, pp. 1087–1094, August, 1991.     

Synthesis of substituted 3-thiophenecarbaldoximes containing unsaturated groups at C2

A convenient preparative method was developed to obtain substituted 2-allylthio-5- methyl-3-thiophenecarbaldoximes, which are starting compounds in the synthesis of fused heterocycles containing the thiophene ring, by the successive action of sodium in liquid ammonia and substituted -halopropenes on 2-methylthio-5-methyl-3-thiophenecarbaldoxime.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 1, PP. 247–251, January, 1991.     

Molecular structure of N-mesityl-6H-anthra[9,1-bc]pyrrol-6-one

The molecular and crystalline structure of 1-(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)-6H-anthra-[9,1-bc]pyrrol-6-one was determined by the x-ray structural method. There is a larger uniformity of the bonds in the benzene ring of the isoindole fragment than in the N-substituted isoindoles; this derives from the electronic influence of the keto group. The structure of the whole molecule does not have marked 1,10-anthraquinoid character.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 4, pp. 485–490, April, 1988.     

Photoinduced structure transformations in dichromate-impregnated denatured collagen

X-ray structure analysis shows that irradiating gelatin films containing chromates causes a spiral-coil transition in the denatured collagen molecules. The concentration and type of the chromate have substantial effects, as do the film preparation conditions. The x-ray diffraction and ESR data indicate that chromium(V) compounds formed by photoreduction from chromium(VI) ones are mainly responsible for the conformation transition. In the absence of chromium compounds, light absorbed by the gelatin macromolecules results in macroradicals on account of the photolysis in the denatured protein chains. There is no phase transition.Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Éksperimental'naya Khimiya, Vol. 24, No, 2, pp. 247–251, March–April 1988.
