Symmetrical and Asymmetrical Bisphosphonate Esters. Synthesis, Selective Hydrolysis, and Isomerization

Two simple and efficient one-pot procedures for the synthesis of a series of α-branched N-heterocycle-substituted methane-1,1-bisphosphonates are outlined. In the first method, the parent halosubstrates were reacted with cyanomethylphosphonate followed by reaction with dialkyl phosphonates to give asymmetrical or symmetrical bisphosphonates (BPs). In the second approach, the same halocompounds were reacted with tetraethyl methyl-1,1-bisphosphonate to give the requisite BPs. Partial and complete hydrolysis of the prepared BPs were also investigated. The products contain functional groups advantageous for further synthetic modification as structural units for coupling with the drug.     

The vapour pressures and saturated volumes of benzotrifluoride in the temperature range 460–530K.

A sample of benzotrifluoride was degassed in a high vacuum train, and the vapor pressure was measured in the temperature range 460 – 53OK. Also the saturated vapour and saturated liquid volumes were measured. Two simple equations were used to fit the vapour pressure data by the least square method. The heat of vaporization was calculated using Clapeyron equation.     

New many fold 1,2,3‐selenadiazole aromatic derivatives

The many fold aromatic ketones 2a‐d are versatile compounds for the synthesis of the many fold 1,2,3‐selenadiazole aromatic derivatives 5a‐d . The preparation starts with the reaction between the many fold bromomethylene benzene derivatives 1a‐d and 4‐hydroxyacetophenone, which are transformed through the reaction with semicarbazide hydrochloride or ethylhydrazine carboxylate into the corresponding semicarbazones derivatives 3a‐d or hydrazones 4a‐d . The reaction with selenium dioxide leads to regiospecific ring closure of semicarbazones or hydrazones to give the many fold 1,2,3‐selenadiazole aromatic derivatives in high yield.     

Gamma-irradiation effects on the electrical conductivity of pure and Cu-doped Fe3O4 spinel

The electrical conductivity and IR-spectra of pure and Cu-doped Fe₃O₄ spinels were measured at 300–1000 K. Two breaks in the conductivity-temperature curves have been observed for all investigated pure and doped samples. One of these two breaks were found near the Curie point of the investigated spinel. The electrical conduction in -irradiated and non-irradiated pure and Cu-doped Fe₃O₄ occurred by a hopping mechanism due to a fast electron exchange between Fe²⁺ and Fe³⁺-ions present on octahedral sites. The Seebeck-voltage of the irradiated and non-irradiated pure and Cu-doped samples has been measured. The effect of -irradiation on the conductivity values //, activation energy and type of defects was discussed.     

Investigation on corrosion inhibition and adsorption mechanism of azomethine derivatives at mild steel/0.5 ​M ​H2SO4 solution interface: Gravimetric,electrochemical, SEM and EDX studies

The inhibition performance of five azomethine derivatives such as: 1-(4-Methyloxy phenylimino)-1-(phenylhydrazono)-propan-2-one (SB₁), 1-(4-Methylphenylimino)-1-(phenylhydrazono) propan-2-one (SB₂), 1-(phenylimino)-1(phenylhydrazono)-propan-2-one (SB₃), 1-(4-Bromo phenylimino)-1(phenylhydrazono)-propan-2-one (SB₄) and 1-(4-Chlorophenylimino)-1(phenylhydrazono) -propan-2-on (SB₅) as corrosion inhibitors for mild steel in sulfuric acid 0.5 ?M were investigated using different methods. All experimental results demonstrate that these compounds are eficients inhibitors. The inhibition efficiencies ($IE$) increase with inhibitors concentration. At 7.5 $\times$ 10^?5 ?M, the $IE$ was 97.27%, 96.31%, 94.23%, 93.19 and 91.64% for SB₁, SB₂, SB₃, SB₄ and SB₅, respectively. The potentiodynamic polarization results indicated that all the studied inhibitors act as mixed type. The adsorption process on mild steel surface obeyed Langmuir isotherm. The associated activation parameters and thermodynamic have been calculated and discussed. The adsorbed film formed on the metal surface was characterized by SEM and EDX.     

Observation on Symmetry Properties of Sodium Zinc(II)-2,9,16,23-phthalocyanine Tetracarboxylate in Water:NaOH Solution

The shift of the Q-band of sodium zinc(II)-2,9,16,23-phthalocyanine tetracarboxylate (ZnPc(COONa)₄) to about 800 nm is attributed to the influence of the electron-donating property of the carboxylate groups substituted in the β–position. ZnPc(COONa)₄ which was found to have a symmetry of D _2h characterized by a splitting of the Q transition. This splitting was interpreted by the formation of dianionic symmetric ZnPc(COONa)₄ resulting from the dissociation of the pyrrole protons as well as the possibility of Na⁺ dissolution of ZnPc(COONa)₄ in the aqueous solution of NaOH.     

Nonlinear planar optical waveguide sensors comprising metamaterial guiding films at terahertz frequencies

In this paper, we propose a metamaterial film bounded by a nonlinear cover and a dielectric substrate as a THz wave sensor. The dispersion characteristics and magnetic field profiles have been derived, computed and analyzed. Confinement of the light waves was found to increase with both nonlinearity and frequency. We believe our results can be used to design novel tunable future sensors.     

DC Electrical Conductivity of the Direct Electrochemically Synthesized Polythiophene Metal Complexes

Electrochemical anodic oxidation of a metal anode in an acetone solution of 2,5-diamino-3,4-dicyanothiophene gave the polythiophene metal complexes of Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd, and Sn. Chemical analyses, as well as FTIR and electronic spectral data, are presented to confirm the formulation of the isolated materials. DC electrical conductivity measurements of the polymer complexes were measured in the range 300–500 K in the annealed and 5% doped forms. The products gave electrical conductivity in the semi-conducting region that increased by heat.
