Composition of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Carlina acanthifolia</Emphasis> Root Essential Oil

The root of Carlina acanthifolia All. (Asteraceae) contained 1.0% of essential oil (expressed in g per 100 g of dried plant material). Using GC and GC/MS, nine components were identified (100% of total oil). The structure of benzyl 2-furylacetylene (carlina oxide), which is the principal component of the oil (91.5%), was spectrometrically identified. __________ Published in Khimiya Prirodnykh Soedinenii, No. 4, pp. 331–332, July–August, 2005.     

The interactions of (=O→Si)-(benzoyloxymethyl)trifluoro-and -(benzoyloxymethyl) methyldifluorosilanes with a solvent

The IR spectra of solutions of (=OSi)-(benzoyloxymethyl)trifluorosilane (1),-(benzoyloxymethyl)methyldifluorosilane (2), and butyl benzoate (3) are examined in the region of thev(C=O) stretching vibrations in 24 solvents. The ability of compounds1—3 to undergo specific intermolecular interactions is evaluated from the dependence ofv(C=O) on the Kamlet-Taft (^*,, ) parameters, which was obtained for the carbonyl groups involved in the intramolecular coordinate (=OSi) bond and for free carbonyl groups. The corresponding values of the coefficients in the Kamlet-Taft equations are indicative of a weak ability of pentacoordinate silicon compounds1 and2 to undergo acid-base interactions.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Thermal decomposition of rare earth element enanthates

The conditions of formation of Y, La and lanthanide (from Ce(III) to Lu) enanthates were worked out, their composition and their solubilities in water at 291 K were determined, and the conditions of their thermal decomposition were studied. They were prepared as crystalline solids with general formula Ln(C₇H₁₃O₂)₃·nH₂O, wheren=2–10. On heating, they decompose in two or three steps. They first lose some water molecules and then decompose to the oxides directly (salts of Y and heavy lanthanides) or via the intermediate formation of Ln₂O₂CO₃ (salts of La, Pr, Nd, Sm and Eu). Only yttrium enanthate dihydrate loses 2 water molecules on heating to form an anhydrous complex, which decomposes directly to Y₂O₃. The temperatures of dehydration are similar for all complexes (323–343 K), while the temperatures of oxide formation vary irregularly from 823 K for CeO₂ to 1078 K for La₂O₃.     

镓改性ZSM-5沸石中镓活性中心的形成与表征

采用脉冲微反体系研究了经不同程度还原和不同镓含量的GaZSM-5沸石的芳构化性能与吡啶吸附红外光谱特征谱带吸收度的关联，证实了1458 cm~(-1)吸收带的用于表征与Ga物种有关的活性中心，并研究了沸石的硅铝比对Ga中心形成和Ga的价态对芳构化性能的影响。结果表明，对Ga含量相同的样品来说，硅铝比愈低，起始Ga中心生成量愈多，高价态与低价态的Ga中心对丙烷芳构化反应都有促进作用。     

Zur Kenntnis des Calciumbromats und - iodats,Kristallstruktur, röntgenographische,IR- und Raman-spektroskopische und thermoanalytische Untersuchungen

On Calcium Bromated and Iodates – Crystal Structure, X-Ray, IR and Raman Spectroscopical and Thermoanalytical Investigations The phase relationships (and both decomposition and disproportionation)of bromates and iodates of alkaline earth metals are studied by means of thermal analyses (DTA, DSC, TG) and (high-temperature) X-Ray, IR-, and (high-temperature) Raman spectroscopic measurements. The following compounds have been established: Ca(IO₃)₂ · 6 H₂O oF 216, the isotypic Ca(BrO₃)₂ · H₂O and Ca(IO₃)₂ · H₂O mP 48, Ca(IO₃)₂ I (Lautarit) mP 36, Ca(IO₃)₂ II and Ca(BrO₃)₂. The Crystal structure of Ca(IO₃)₂ · H₂O (brüggenite) (space group P2₁/c, Z = 4) has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction (MoKα). The final R value for 3888 reflections with I_o > 3σ₁ is 0.0487. The structures of bromates and iodates of alkaline earth metals known so far are discussed with respect to the energetic (mode frequencies) and geometric (bond lengths) distortion of the XO₃–ions as well as the strengths of H-bonds present in the respective hydrates.     

Alkylhydrazides and their protonated forms: Physical methods andab initio calculations

The basicity of hydrazides of the highest aliphatic carboxylic acids RC(O)NHNH₂ (R = C_nH_2n+1,n = 5-12) has been studied by potentiometric titration, and IR and¹H NMR spectroscopy.Ab initio Hartree-Fork calculations using the 6–31G^* basis set with full optimization of geometry were carried out on the simplest acy1hydrazines and their possible protonated forms. Based on these calculations, and the 1R and¹H NMR spectra, the tautomerism of alkylhydrazides and the structures of their protonated forms are discussed.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

I NQR and spectroscopic investigation of impurity-doped and mixed lithium iodate Li1−xHxIO3 crystals

The ¹²⁷I NQR, IR absorption and Raman spectra of impurity-doped and mixed lithium iodate Li_1−xH_xIO₃ crystals grown from water solutions with different LiIO₃/HIO₃ ratios were investigated depending on the content of the impurity hydrogen x. The NQR results suggested that, at small concentration of doping iodic acid x<0.22, the lattice dynamics of the crystal grown from water solution changes significantly though the crystal retains hexagonal symmetry. Spectroscopic studies are compatible with average hexagonal symmetry of the grown doped crystals. From the results of Raman studies at room temperature and 100 K, the concentration range of hydrogen dopant 0.22<x<0.36 was found where disordered solid solution crystals Li_1−xH_xIO₃ are formed.     

Prepared Low Stress Cubic Boron Nitride Film by Physical Vapor Deposition

We present low stress cubic boron nitride (cBN) films with a transition layer deposited on the metal alloy substrates by tuned substrate radio-frequency magnetron sputtering. The films were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The IR peak position of cubic boron nitride at 1006.3 cm⁻¹, which is close to the stressless state, indicates that the film has very low internal stress. The TEM image shows that pure CBN phase exists on the surface of the film. Several phases of boron nitride were found at the medium implantation dose. It is believed that the transition from the low ordered phases to cBN phase occurred during implantation.     

High-vacuum pyrolysis of 1,1,1-trifluoro-2-bromo-2-chloroethane. IR spectrum of 1,1,1-trifluoro-2-chloroethyl radical in an argon matrix

The products of high-vacuum pyrolysis of 1,1,1-trifluoro-2-bromo-2-chloroethane were studied by matrix IR spectroscopy. The decomposition of 1,1,1-trifluoro-2-bromo-2-chloroethane was shown to occur predominantlyvia two directions: to form the 1,1,1-trifluoro-2-chloroethyl radical and trifluoromethylcarbene isomerizing to trifluoroethylene. The CF₃CHCl radical has been detected in the matrix for the first time. The bands observed in the IR spectrum were calculated by the quantum-chemical B3LYP/6-311 G(d,p) method and assigned to normal vibrations of the radical. Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

SAPO—11分子筛用i—Pr2NH导向合成及其酸性研究

以ＡｌＰＯ４、Ｈ３ＰＯ４、ＳｉＯ２等为原料采用单一模板剂ｉＰｒ２ＮＨ合成了ＳＡＰＯ１１分子筛，利用Ａｖｒａｍｉ方程等对合成过程进行了定量描述。还利用红外（ＩＲ）、程序升温脱附（ＴＰＤ）、线性丁烯骨架异构反应催化活性测试等手段表征了ＳＡＰＯ１１的酸性。结果表明，合成过程随温度有明显变化，晶化阶段的活化能远高于核化阶段的值。可用Ａｖｒａｍｉ方程的参数来表征合成过程的难易程度。分子筛中存在Ｂ酸和Ｌ酸位，主要在中等强度范围，从而对线性丁烯骨架异构反应有较好的催化活性。提高分子筛中硅含量可明显增大酸位浓度，酸强度也有轻度增强。
