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.     

Quantum-chemical analysis of the features of the electronic structure of model bis(imidazole)iron porphyrins as compared to data from Mössbauer spectroscopy

A quantum-chemical analysis of the electronic structure of two low-spin complexes, viz., bis(imidazole)hemichrome [Fe(III)P]2Im (S = 1.2) and bis(imidazole)hemochrome [Fe(II)P]·2Im (S = 0), which simulate hemi- and hemoproteins (P denotes porphyrin, Im denotes imidazole, and S is the spin of the iron ion), has been carried out by the extended Hückel method with SCF convergence with respect to the charges of the atoms. The data on the electronic structure of the complexes have been used for calculations of the quadrupole splitting in the⁵⁷Fe Mössbauer spectra of these compounds. An analysis of the contributions of the valence electrons of the Fe atom and the ligands to the quadrupole splitting as a function of the structure of the iron ion, its electronic environment, and the parameters of the first coordination sphere has been carried out. Good agreement between the calculated and experimental values of the quadrupole splitting has been obtained. An analysis of the orbital interactions has been carried out, and data on the classification and composition of the MO's have been presented.Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Éksperimental'naya Khimiya, Vol. 21, No. 2, pp. 146–153, March–April, 1985.     

Chemistry of indole

5-Methoxy-3-carbethoxyindoles are nitrated primarily in the 4 position. Replacement of the methoxy group by an acetoxy group leads to a change in orientation — only the 6 isomer is obtained. In the case of the similarly constructed 5-hydroxyindoles, monosubstitution cannot be accomplished under various conditions, and only the 4,6-dinitro derivative is formed. The synthesis of the corresponding amines by reduction of the nitro compounds is described.See [1] for communication XXXVIII.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 12, pp. 1646–1653, December, 1973.
