Silicon etching in Cl2 environment

The ion-beam-assisted etching of silicon in Cl₂ environment is considered. The theoretically calculated dependences of silicon etching rate on the flux of Cl₂ molecules at different ion current densities are compared with experimentally measured. The composition of the adsorbed layer is determined. It is found that SiCl₂ molecules prevail in the adsorbed layer. The reciprocal of relative concentration of SiCl₂ molecules in the adsorbed layer linearly depends on the ion-to-neutral flux ratio.     

Synthesis and conformational studies of a new host system based on cholic acid

New synthetic hosts have been designed incorporating two molecules of cholic acid linked by a rigid diamine. Proton NMR studies indicate that the compounds exist in a rigid conformation with the steroid hydroxyl groups intramolecularly hydrogen-bonded. Heat or addition of methanol leads to conformational isomerism due to insertion of methanol into the cavity.A preliminary report of this work was presented at the 4th International Symposium on Inclusion Phenomena, July 20–25, 1986, Lancaster, U.K.

A new approach towards peptidosulfonamides: synthesis of potential inhibitors of bacterial peptidoglycan biosynthesis enzymes MurD and MurE

Peptidosulfonamides are an emerging group of peptidomimetics with a variety of applications in medicinal chemistry. We present a novel approach to the synthesis of peptidosulfonamides, and apply it to a series of new potential inhibitors of the bacterial peptidoglycan biosynthesis enzymes MurD and MurE. The synthesis was conducted via N-phthalimido β-aminoethanesulfonyl chlorides, which are new building blocks for the synthesis of peptidosulfonamides. In the most crucial step, sulfonic acids or their sodium salts were converted into the corresponding sulfonyl chlorides using an excess of either SOCl₂ or SOCl₂/DMF, and then coupled to the C-protected amino acid. None of the compounds significantly inhibited MurD, however, some inhibited MurE; one had an IC₅₀ below 200 μM, which constitutes a promising starting point for further development. Molecular modelling simulations were performed on two analogues to investigate the absence of inhibitory activity of the sulfonamide compounds on MurD.     

Continuous-Wave Operation of a 460-GHz Second Harmonic Gyrotron Oscillator

We report the regulated continuous-wave (CW) operation of a second harmonic gyrotron oscillator at output power levels of over 8 W (12.4 kV and 135 mA beam voltage and current) in the TE(0,6,1) mode near 460 GHz. The gyrotron also operates in the second harmonic TE(2,6,1) mode at 456 GHz and in the TE(2,3,1) fundamental mode at 233 GHz. CW operation was demonstrated for a one-hour period in the TE(0,6,1) mode with better than 1% power stability, where the power was regulated using feedback control. Nonlinear simulations of the gyrotron operation agree with the experimentally measured output power and radio-frequency (RF) efficiency when cavity ohmic losses are included in the analysis. The output radiation pattern was measured using a pyroelectric camera and is highly Gaussian, with an ellipticity of 4%. The 460-GHz gyrotron will serve as a millimeter-wave source for sensitivity-enhanced nuclear magnetic resonance (dynamic nuclear polarization) experiments at a magnetic field of 16.4 T.     

The influence of hyperpolarisability and field-gradient polarisability on field adsorption binding energies for He on W(111)

The effects of imaging-gas hyperpolarisability and field-gradient polarisabuity terms on field-adsorption binding energies have been explored. At best image fields for the noble imaging gases and molecular hydrogen, the correction to long-range binding energy is at most a few percent and may be neglected. At the tungsten evaporation field the correction is significant in the cases of Ar, Kr, H₂, and especially Xe. The system He on W(111) has been used as a paradigm in the investigation of short-range binding energy. The largest correction here is due to one of the field-gradient polarisabuity terms. In the field range of most relevance to the field-ion techniques the total correction is about 15–20%, and should not be neglected in detailed treatments.     

Fluorinations with complex metal fluorides. Part 6 [1] fluorination of yridine and related compounds with caesium tetrafluorocobaltate(III) [2]

Pyridine has been fluorinated over caesium tetrafluorocobaltate(III) (CsCo^IIIF₄) at 300–400°C to give a mixture of undecafluoro-N-methylpyrrolidine, bis(trifluoromethyl)amine, pentafluoropyridine and several polyfluoropyridines; the product composition depended to some extent on the geometry of the reactor. The fluorinations of pentafluoropyridine, piperidine and undecafluoropiperidine were also investigated.
