Synthesis of anticonvulsant sulfamides. Theoretical study of the related mechanism

A theoretical study of the mechanisms associated with the synthesis of anticonvulsant symmetric N,N-substituted sulfamides is presented. Two possible synthetic routes are compared, which mainly differ in the use of pyridine as a nucleophilic agent in the reaction mechanism. Geometry optimization techniques and transition-state detection at the B3LYP/6-31G** level, modeling the solvent by means of an isodensity polarizable continuum approach, allow the most suitable method for the experimental process to be discerned.From the Proceedings of the 28th Congreso de Químicos Teóricos de Expresión Latina (QUITEL 2002)     

Heterogeneous ECE Processes at Channel Electrodes: Analytical Solution for all Reaction Rate Constants and Different Diffusion Coefficients

An analytical solution is developed for heterogeneous ECE processes occurring at channel electrode surface for both laminar and turbulent flow. The solution explicitly links the behavior of ECE processes and the parameters. A simple expression of the effective number of electrons transferred, covering all the reaction rate constants and different diffusion coefficients of the reactant A and the intermediate product B, is obtained. Excellent agreement with previous numerical and analytical results is shown . Parametric studies illustrate the effects of diffusion coefficients, hydrodynamic factors and reaction rate constants on the effective number of electrons transferred and the currents.     

Variational transition state theory without the minimum-energy path

In this paper we propose a method for carrying out variational transition state theory calculations without first obtaining a converged minimum-energy path (MEP). We illustrate the method in two ways, first of all by employing an unconverged MEP and secondly by using a dynamically optimized distinguished reaction path. Preliminary tests of the algorithm for the reactions OH+H₂→H₂O+H and C₂H₅→C₂H₄+H are very encouraging. Received: 22 January 1997 / Accepted: 11 March 1997     

Syntheses and properties of related polyoxadiazoles and polytriazoles

New aromatic poly-1,2,4-triazoles and poly-1,3,4-oxadiazoles are studied as thermally stable membrane materials. Various groups were introduced onto the pendant phenyl groups of poly-1,2,4-triazoles. Glass transition temperature, degradation temperature, and cold crystallization behavior were studied as a function of these groups. Cold crystallization appeared to be highly sensitive to macromolecular regularity. The solubility of poly-1,3,4-oxadiazoles was highly improved upon incorporation of 5-t-butylisophthalic, 1,1,3-trimethyl-3-phenylindane, 4,4′-(2,2′-diphenyl) hexafluoro propane, and diphenyl ether groups into the polymeric main chain, whereas the high glass transition temperatures and degradation temperatures typical for aromatic poly-1,3,4-oxadiazoles were maintained. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Crystallization kinetics of the monoclinic modification of poly(3,3-dimethyl oxetane)

Poly(3,3-dimethyl oxetane) fractions ranging in number average molecular weights from 18500 to 130000 have been isothermally crystallized from the relaxed melt state in the temperature range from 12 to 44 °C, where only the monoclinic modification is formed. The influence of molecular weight and undercooling in crystallization kinetics has been analyzed. The level of crystallinity is very slightly dependent on molecular weight but the influence of this parameter on the time scale of the crystallization is relatively pronounced. The crystallization temperature coefficient was determined and it was found a constant value of the product of the interfacial energies in the range of molecular weights which has been analyzed. Growth rate measurements were carried out for fraction ¯M _n=130000 and it was found that the temperature coefficients for overall and growth rates are equal. Finally, the comparison of the experimental results for this polymer with those reported for poly(oxetane) shows two main differences: first, the crystallization rate is slower for poly(3,3-dimethyl oxetane) and second, the temperature coefficient is smaller for this polymer.     

Fraktionierte Kristallisation von Ammonium- und Magnesiumdoppelnitraten der Ceriterden; Bestimmung der Trennfaktoren und Vergleich der Trennwirkung

Summary The Separation Factors for Pr/La, Nd/Pr, and Sm/Nd, characterizing the crystallization of ammonium and magnesium double nitrates under practical conditions, were determined analytically and are discussed. They confirm that La and Pr can be separated better by fractional crystallization of ammonium double nitrates, whereas in the presence of Sm the magnesium double nitrates are preferable.

     

Effect of multi-walled carbon nanotubes on non-isothermal crystallization kinetics of polyamide 6

The non-isothermal crystallization behaviors of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs)/polyamide 6 (PA6) composites were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Three methods, namely, Avrami, Ozawa and Mo, were carried out to analyze the non-isothermal crystallization data. The results showed that the MWNTs in PA6 acted as effective nucleation agents. However the crystallization rate of composites obtained was lower than that of the neat PA6. It is indicated that the presence of MWNTs influenced the mechanism of nucleation and the growth of PA6 crystallites.     

Theoretical study on conformational conversion of 1,3-dioxane inside a capsular host

The conformational conversion of 1,3-dioxane guest encapsulated inside a cylindrical capsular host was investigated with PM3 method and single point energies were evaluated by B3LYP method. When entrapped in the capsule, the guest tumbles were slower than that in the free condition. The influences of the inner phase of the capsule on the guest conformational conversion were discussed in detail.     

分子量对聚丙烯等温结晶的影响

<正> 在高聚物结晶动力学的研究中,分子量对结晶速率的影响是一个有实际意义和理论兴趣的研究课题,由于聚烯烃可以得到分子量变化范围相当宽(MW从10~3到10~6)的试样,因而它是研究结晶速率分子量依赖性较合适的对象,其中研究最多的是聚乙烯和聚丙烯。从前入的研究报道看来,影响聚丙烯结晶速率的因素比聚乙烯要复杂。除了聚丙烯可生成多种晶型结构,会影响其结晶速率以外,用不同聚合方法制备的试样,由于其链结
