Vibrationally resolved photoelectron angular distributions for H2

The photoelectron asymmetry parameter, β, is reported for individual vibrational levels of H₂⁺(X²Σ_g⁺) formed by photoionization of H₂(X¹Σ_g⁺) at wavelengths of 736, 584, 461 and 304 Å. At 584 Å, β, exhibits a monotonic increase with vibrational quantum number (decreasing photoelectron kinetic energy) confirming the trend predicted by Itikawa.     

Über Perrhenate. 1. Zur Kenntnis von LiReO4

About Perrhenates. 1. On LiReO₄ For the very first time anhydrous LiReO₄ was prepared in transparent, colourless single crystals from Li₂O₂ and Re₂O₇ (closed Au-pipe; 350°C; 14 d). The crystal structure, P1 , with a = 9.652(1), b = 8.455(1), c = 6.928(1) Å, α = 101,53° (1), β = 106.55° (1), γ = 97.22° (1), Z = 6, d_x = 4.92 g/cm³, d_pyk = 4,81 g/cm³ was solved (four-circle-diffractometer data PW 1100, 2151 I₀ (hkl), AgKα; R = 0.073, R_w = 0.076). There are three kinds of functionally different Li⁺. The Madelung Part of the Lattice Energy, MAPLE, was calculated.     

ULTRAVIOLET-ENHANCED REACTIVATION OF HERPES VIRUS IN HUMAN TUMOR CELLS

Abstract —Virus-host cell interactions may be investigated by study of the enhancement of infectivity of ultraviolet (UV)-irradiated virus obtained by UV-irradiating the host cell [ultraviolet reactivation (UVR)]. This phenomenon was studied with Herpes simplex virus and normal (embryonic lung) and malignant (HeLa) human cells. Although the lung cells displayed no UVR, both the HeLa cells and a Sendai-virus carrier culture of HeLa cells demonstrated UVR capabilities. This UVR persisted at equal or increased levels for at least 24 h. Since the lung cells and HeLa cells have similar host-cell-reactivation (HCR) abilities, the differences in UVR suggests that UVR and HCR may operate by different mechanisms.     

The polymorphic transformations of cobalt molybdate

Polymorphic transformations of CoMoO₄ were studied by means of high temperature X-ray measurements within the temperature range 25–1200°C. On heating phase a obtained from low temperature modification b a new modification a′ was discovered. Phase a obtained by thermal decomposition of solvated α-CoMoO₄ shows different behaviour. At 700–930°C depending on the conditions of preparation it transforms irreversibly into still another modification a″. On cooling, a mixture of phases a + a″ is obtained, the presence of a″ being responsible for the explosionwise transition into b, observed around the room temperature.     

Nitro compounds as alkylating reagents in friedel-crafts conditions : Reaction of 2-nitropropane with benzene

Friedel-Crafts reaction of benzylic or tertiary nitro compounds with benzene gave normal alkylation products. Similarly, 2-nitropropane (2-NP) gave cumene (1) which underwent further transformation affording a mixture whose behaviour with time was investigated : results were consistent with oxidative formation of the cumyl carbonium ion (7').     

Benzo[b] thiophene derivatives. XVIII. The sulfur isosteres of harmaline,harmine and related isomers

The sulfur analogs of harmaline, 7-methoxy-3,4-dihydro-1-methyl[1]benzothieno[2,3-c]-pyridine (Ib), harmine, 7-methoxy-1-methyl[1]benzothieno[2,3- c ]pyridine (IIb), and corresponding 6-methoxy isomers (Ic and IIc) have been synthesized for pharmacological evaluation as monoamine oxidase inhibitors.     

Bulk and localized oxygen concentration measurements of steam-oxidized zircaloy-4 using nuclear analysis techniques

Quantitative measurement of both bulk and localized oxygen concentrations is of importance in the study of oxidation kinetics. We describe the combined application of two nuclear techniques, fast neutron activation analysis and (d, p) nuclear microprobe, to the determination of oxygen concentrations and surface profiles for steam-oxidized Zircaloy-4 cladding specimens. Results of measurements using these techniques are presented. Work partially supported by Electric Power Research Institute Contract T.S.A. No. 20.     

Hydroboration and diimide reduction of caryophyllene and isocaryophyllene

The monohydroboration of caryophyllene with dicyclohexylborane followed by oxidation brought about the participation of the (E)-trisubstituted double bond in preference to the exocyclic double bond during hydroboration to the corresponding unsaturated alcohol. This alcohol gave the corresponding ketone by oxidation. Isocaryophyllene under similar conditions provided the unsaturated alcohol as the major product, wherein the participation of the exocyclic double bond took place during hydroboration. Our attempts to achieve cyclic hydroboration with caryophyllene or isocaryophyllene using thexylborane resulted in the formation of the corresponding unsaturated alcohol. We achieved partial regioselective reduction of caryophyllene and isocaryphyllene with diimide to produce the corresponding dihydroderivative.     

Regiospecific α-dialkoxymethylation of preformed enolates

Local doses associated with119mSn isomeric transition

The energy absorbed by immediate surrounding of disintegrating^119mSn nuclei have been estimated by comparing the Mössbauer emission spectra of¹¹⁹Sn in some tin compounds with the absorption spectra of the same substances after -irradiation and by simple calculations of Auger electrons energy losses. The results obtained indicate that the observed post-effects of the^119mSn decay are due to self-radiolysis and other processes, whose contributions depend on the individual properties of the matrices.
