Solid-state reactions of organometallic aldehydes with optically active primary β-hydroxyamines

The solid-state reactions of crystalline ferrocenyl- and ruthenocenylaldehydes with optically active primary β-hydroxyamines were studied at ∼20 °C. The yield of the products increases substantially in the presence of K₂CO₃. The tautomeric equilibrium between imines and diastereomeric oxazolidines with the predominant formation of one of them is established in solutions of the products in CDCl₃.

Coherent, two-wave interaction in relativistic Cherenkov generators

A relativistic, two-wave generator working near -type oscillations of two lowest modes with frequency band around 8 mm, is investigated experimentally. Obtained output radiation patterns point to a single-frequency radiation character. The efficiency is found to rise in two-wave regimes in comparison with one-wave ones. The generator assembled of two sections is also considered.     

Modeling of recombination kinetics of radical pairs in magnetic field. Comparison with experimental dependences on the frequency of encounters in biradicals

The recombination kinetics of spin-correlated radical pairs (RPs) with three nonequivalent magnetic nuclei were calculated under conditions of enforced encounters between radicals at time-independent frequency n_dif. The simplest two-position model of a RP was used, which includes two states (contact state and distance-separated state) of the RP, differing in magnitude of isotropic spin-spin exchange interaction between radicals. The calculated kinetic curves were treated in terms of a three-exponential model. The dependences of corresponding rate constants (k _rec) on n_dif, external magnetic field strength (B ₀), and intensity, A _eff, of isotropic hyperfine coupling (HFC) were obtained. The k _rec-vs.-n_dif or k _rec-vs.-viscosity (n_dif varies simultaneously with the inverse lifetime of the contact state) plots pass through maxima whose positions are shifted from the n_dif region near the A _eff value at B ₀ = 0.5 G toward high n_dif values with an increase in B ₀. At n_dif ≫ A _eff, the k _rec-vs.-B ₀ plots pass through maxima in the region B ₀ = A _eff. The calculated dependences are compared with experimental data on recombination of biradicals. The results of calculations show that the experimentally observed maxima on the k _rec-vs.-B ₀ or k _rec-vs.-n_dif plots can be due to peculiar features of the spin dynamics induced by the hyperfine coupling rather than the exchange interaction effects, as is commonly accepted. __________ Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Excess partial molar enthalpies,entropies, Gibbs energies,and volumes in aqueous dimethylsulfoxide

The excess partial molar enthalpies, the vapor pressures, and the densities of dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO)–H₂O mixtures were measured and the excess partial molar Gibbs energies and the partial molar volumes were calculated for DMSO and for H₂O. The values of the excess partial molar Gibbs energies for both DMSO and H₂O are negative over the entire composition range. The results for the water-rich region indicated that the presence of DMSO enhances the hydrogen bond network of H₂O. Unlike monohydric alcohols, however, the solute-solute interaction is repulsive in terms of the Gibbs energy. This was a result of the fact that the repulsion among solutes in terms of enthalpy surpassed the attraction in terms of entropy. The data in the DMSO-rich region suggest that DMSO molecules form clusters which protect H₂O molecules from exposure to the nonpolar alkyl groups of DMSO.     

Kinetic studies of nickel speciation in model solutions of a well-characterized humic acid using the competing ligand exchange method

Publications on the binding characteristics of metals with humic acid (HA) are sparse. Here we investigated the release of nickel from Ni(II)-HA complexes using model solutions of three different [Ni(II)]/[HA] mole ratios at three different pH values; we also compared the results with those of [Ni(II)]/[FA] complexes from previous work in this laboratory. Ligand exchange kinetics using the competing ligand exchange method (CLEM) were studied using two different techniques: graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (GFAAS) with Chelex 100 resin as the competing ligand, and adsorptive cathodic stripping voltammetry (AdCSV) with dimethylglyoxime as the competing ligand to measure the rate of dissociation of Ni(II)-HA complexes. The results of the kinetic studies showed that as the [Ni(II)]/[HA] mole ratio was decreased, the rate of dissociation of Ni(II)-HA complexes decreased, and the proportion of free Ni²⁺ ions plus very labile nickel complexes decreased while the proportion of the less labile kinetically distinguishable components increased. Generally, the rate of dissociation of Ni(II)-HA complexes was slower than that of Ni(II)-FA complexes. Studies on the validity of the kinetic model showed that the concentrations of chemical species varied in a reasonable way with pH and the [Ni(II)]/[HA] mole ratios, indicating that the kinetically distinguishable components have chemical significance and the kinetic model is valid.     

Molecular caps for full quantum mechanical computation of peptide-water interaction energy

We present a systematic study of numerical accuracy of various forms of molecular caps that are employed in a recently developed molecular fractionation scheme for full quantum mechanical computation of protein-molecule interaction energy. A previously studied pentapeptide (Gly-Ser-Ala-Asp-Val) or P5 interacting with a water molecule is used as a benchmark system for numerical testing. One-dimensional potential energy curves are generated for a number of peptide-water interaction pathways. Our study shows that various forms of caps all give consistently accurate energies compared to the corresponding full system calculation with only small deviations. We also tested the accuracy of cutting peptide backbone at different positions and comparisons of results are presented.     

Vacuum-ultraviolet induced oxidation of the polymers polyethylene and polypropylene

The emission from low-pressure microwave plasmas in the vacuum-ultraviolet (VUV) region (λ < 200 nm) was investigated in order to use these plasmas as light sources for the study of the VUV photochemistry of polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) as part of the study of plasma-polymer interaction. These polymers, immersed in low-presure oxygen, were exposed to radiation with wavelengths down to 112 nm, the cut off of magnesium fluoride used as a window to separate the polymer specimen from the plasma light source. Total oxygen incorporation in the surface [O], and the formation of hydroxyl, carbonyl, and carboxyl groups were measured using XPS in combination with chemical derivatizations, particularly their dependence upon the radiation spectrum and the oxygen pressure around the sample. In most experiments the surface oxygen concentration [O] attained a constant value that appears to be related to the initial oxidation rate; this suggests a competition between oxygen incorporation and chain scission reactions, followed by the removal of volatile oxidation products. PE is usually oxidized to a higher level than PP, the latter appearing to be more susceptible to reaction with atomic oxygen than PE. A general initiation mechanism for the VUV experiments is proposed that allows us to explain the observed differences in behavior between PE and PP, and the results obtained under different irradiation conditions. The nature of oxidation products is in both cases very similar to what is observed after direct plasma treatment of the polymers. We conclude that short wavelength radiation contributes very appreciably to the observed surface modification effects during plasma treatment of PE and PP. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
