Two-body interatomic interaction and properties of the alloy Cu3Au

Calculations are made of the ordering energyV (R) and the Fourier transform v() of it for the disordered Cu₃Au alloy in the Fermi sphere approximation using the pseudopotential method in the second order of perturbation theory. These characteristics are used to calculate some properties of the alloy, in particular, the short- and long-range order and the temperature of the order-disorder transition.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 10, pp. 84–88, October, 1980.     

Optical “memory” centers on an adsorption silicon surface

The charging of an illuminated silicon surface discovered by Abkevich [1] is of considerable interest for a number of practical applications (for example, semiconductor photography [2] and gas analysis). The present paper gives the results of investigations aimed at establishing the possibility of controlling the optical charge memory on the silicon surface by adsorption methods.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 1, pp. 92–96, January, 1981.We thank V.

Photoinjection phenomena in a silicon-silcon dioxide system

Silicon-silicon dioxide structures obtained by thermal, anodic, and chemical oxidation of silicon are studied by the photocharge and photoinjection current methods. It is shown that the extent of the fluctuation state tails" near the edges of the SiO₂ forbidden zone is small (0.2 eV). The threshold for negative photocharging of anodic oxide traps is found to decrease with increase in oxide thickness, a fact related to the existence of a nonstoichiometric transition layer between the silicon and silicon dioxide. The effect of hydration and dehydration on negative optical charge of oxide traps is studied, and it is shown that the basis of electron traps is formed by the most hydrated and deformed SiO₄H_n tetrahedra. The possibility of creating electron and hole traps in the oxide layer by doping with metal ions from a solution is demonstrated. It is found that the corresponding defects are also adsorption centers for water molecules by a coordination mechanism.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 7, pp. 3–7, July, 1981.In conclusion, the authors thank V. F. Kiselev for his interest in the study and valuable remarks.     

Synthesis of bipyridine and terpyridine based ruthenium metallosynthons for grafting of multiple pyrene auxiliaries

The synthesis of novel ruthenium(II) bipyridine or terpyridine complexes bearing an increasing number of pyrene or toluyl moieties is described. The ruthenium complexes are constructed in a first step with ligands bearing the required bromine functions, followed in a second step by stepwise grafting of 1-ethynylpyrene or 4-ethynyltoluene promoted by Pd(0). A complex bearing a protected triethylsilylacetylene function was also prepared. In situ deprotection of this function with K₂CO₃ and cross-coupling with 1-bromopyrene afforded a soluble complex in which two pyrene moieties are linearly linked via ethynyl spacers to one of the bipyridine ligands. These highly coloured complexes exhibit well defined absorption and emission properties in solution at both rt and 77 K.     

(-)-(R)- and (+)-(S)-Carvone in the Synthesis of Optically Active Acetylenic Alcohols,Ethers, and Dichlorosilyl Derivatives

Reaction of butyllithium with acetylene and 1-hexyne gave the corresponding lithium acetylides which reacted with (-)-(R)- and (+)-(S-carvone in a stereospecific fashion to give lithium (1-ethynyl- or 1-hexynyl)-5-isopropenyl-2-methyl-2-cyclohexenolates. Hydrolysis of the latter gave individual optically active tertiary terpene alcohols having both acetylenic and p-menthene fragment. Their treatment with methyl iodide in the presence of hexamethylphosphoric triamide afforded the corresponding methyl ethers. The reaction of 3-ethynyl-5-isopropenyl-3-methoxy-2-methylcyclohexene with butyllithium and trichloro(vinyl)silane yielded optically active dichlorosilyl-containing acetylenic compounds.     

Structural and magnetic properties of iron(II) complexes with 1,4,5,8,9,12-hexaazatriphenylene (HAT)

Reactions of Fe(II) salts with the ligand 1,4,5,8,9,12-hexaazatriphenylene (HAT) led to the isolation and characterization of four new compounds: [Fe3(HAT)(H2O)12](SO4)3.3.3H2O (1), [Fe2(HAT)(SO4)(H2O)5](SO4).2H2O.CH3OH (2), [Fe2(HAT)(SO4)(H2O)5](SO4).3H2O (3), and [Fe3Cl5(HAT)(CH3OH)4(H2O)]Cl (4). Compound 1 crystallizes as a trinuclear cluster in which HAT acts as a tris-chelating ligand. Compounds 2 and 3 are two polymorphs of an infinite one-dimensional structure in which the Fe atoms are coordinated to HAT and then connected into the chain through bridging sulfate anions. Compound 4 exhibits a similar chain structure, but with bridging chloride ligands. The magnetic behavior of the new compounds is indicative of weak antiferromagnetic coupling between the Fe(II) centers through the HAT ligand.     

Untersuchungen im System LaI2/H2: Phasenverhältnisse und Fehlordnung

Investigation of the LaI₂/H₂ System: Phase Relations and Stacking Disorder Heating of LaI₂ under 1 bar hydrogen pressure to 650 °C leads to light gray LaI₂H_0.95(3), accompanied by a structural change from tetragonal to hexagonal. Sharp reflections in the XRD pattern can be indexed in P6₃/mmc with a = 4.2158(7)Å and c = 15.508(3)Å, however, diffuse reflections indicate the presence of stacking faults in the structure, which correspond to a polytypic intergrowth of MoS₂ and NbS₂ type structural fragments. Increasing the reaction temperature to 730 °C results in a better defined diffraction pattern with the peak positions close to those of the 2H‐NbS₂ structure type. An X‐ray powder study of the samples LaI₂H_n proved the miscibility gap between LaI₂ and LaI₂H_n (0 ≤ n ≤ 0.5) in agreement with previous results. With decreasing H‐content of the homogeneous phase the lattice parameters change in opposite direction, a increasing to 4.236(1)Å and c decreasing to 15.39(2)Å for the lower limit.     

Decyclization of 5-Aryl-4-methyl-2,3-dihydrofuran-2,3-diones by the Action of Nucleophiles

Ring cleavage in 4-methyl-5-phenyl-2,3-dihydrofuran-2,3-dione by the action of methanol and in 5-aryl-4-methyl-2,3-dihydrofuran-2,3-diones by the action of aniline and N-methylaniline results in formation of, respectively, methyl 3-methyl-4-phenyl-2,4-dioxobutanoate and 4-aryl-3-methyl-2,4-dioxobutananilides. The reaction mechanism was studied by ¹H NMR spectroscopy.     

Reaction between palladium(II) and gallium(III) halogenides in arenes: influence of halogen nature on the formation of binuclear palladium(I) clusters

Palladium(II) bromide reacts with gallium(III) bromide in the presence of arenes yielding binuclear palladium(I) complexes [Pd₂(GaBr₄)₂(arene)₂], where arene=benzene (1), toluene (2) and p-xylene (3). Reaction of palladium(II) chloride with gallium(III) chloride in p-xylene leads to the analogous palladium(I) compound [Pd₂(GaCl₄)₂(p-xylene)₂] (4); the X-ray structures of 1-4 were determined.     

Group-theoretical approach to the investigation of reaction graphs for highly degenerate rearrangements of chemical compounds I. Criterion of the connectivity of a graph

We give a necessary and sufficient condition for a reaction graph of a degenerate rearrangement to be connected. This condition is formulated in terms of vertex stabilizers of the automorphism group of a molecular graph. The condition is illustrated on several examples, including the reaction graph of bullvalene. We consider different mathematical models for the construction of reaction graphs and state the problem: which of the models is more adequate?
