Cubical equations of state for predicting the phase equilibria of poorly studied substances

A new procedure for determining the coefficients of the Peng-Robinson equation of state is proposed, for which a minimum of information is required. It is shown that using the Morachevskii complexity factor of molecular interaction in the algorithm for calculating the saturation vapor pressure of substances enables us to study the parameters of the vapor-liquid equilibria of substances with various polarities. Based on our validation of the procedure for determining the coefficients of the Ping-Robinson equation, it is concluded that the values for the saturation vapor pressure of halide derivatives of hydrocarbons calculated from tabular reference data agree satisfactorily in practice.     

Incidence of plane supersonic jet on a plane at an arbitrary angle

A solution method is described and results are presented of numerical calculations for the problem of determining the subsonic part of the flow with incidence of a plane uniform supersonic jet on a plane at an arbitrary angle, which corresponds to the flow regime with a a detached shock wave. For the problem solution we use the method of integral relations in the first approximation in a polar coordinate system. The calculation results (pressure distribution on the plate, shock wave shape, and velocity gradient magnitude at the stagnation point) are presented for Mach numbers of 5 and 20, in a range of incidence angles from 0° to 35°, and also for M=3 for an incidence angle 0° (angles measured from normal to the plate).In conclusion the authors wish to thank G. I. Taganov for guidance in this work.     

Modifying gradient theory to predict the surface properties of halogenated hydrocarbons

A new method is proposed for predicting the surface tension, density profile, and thickness of the surface layer of a liquid near an interface using gradient theory. The objects of study are halogenated hydrocarbons. The algorithm for calculating surface properties includes a new modification of the Peng-Robinson cubic equation of state (EoS) that does not require information on the critical parameters, and a new procedure for calculating the influence parameter. Validation of the procedure for predicting the surface properties of liquids shows that the agreement between the calculated surface tension of halogenated hydrocarbons and the existing literature data is sufficient for practical use.

Sensitized photomodification of oligonucleotide-binding proteins displayed on the eucaryotic cell surface

Interactions of double-stranded nucleic acids with cell surface proteins, which are involved in binding and transport of extracellular nucleic acids, were studied by the photoaffinity modification with a binary system of oligonucleotide conjugates. The photoreactive double-stranded complex involved an oligonucleotide template and two complementary to adjacent sequences oligonucleotide conjugates. One conjugate contained a photoreagent, viz., 4-azido-2,3,5,6-tetrafluorobenzaldehyde N-(3-aminopropionyl)hydrazone, at the terminus located in proximity to the terminus of another conjugate containing the sensitizer, viz., 9-aminomethylanthracene. Binding of photoreagent and the sensitizer to a single-stranded template yields the photoreactive center. Upon irradiation with visible light (400—580 nm), this photoreactive double-stranded complex forms covalent cross-linkages with oligonucleotide-binding surface proteins of eucaryotic SPEV cells.     

Reaction of indazole and alkylpyrazoles with acetylene

The reaction of indazole and pyrazole and its alkyl-substituted derivatives with acetylene was studied. It was established that indazole and 3(5)-methylpyrazole form a mixture of vinyl isomers corresponding to their tautomeric forms under vinylation conditions. The ratios of the isomers of vinylindazoles in the reaction mixtures depend on the nature of the catalyst. The indazole isomers were separated by gas-liquid chromatography, and the 3(5)-methylpyrazole isomers were separated by vacuum fractionation. 1-Di(1-pyrazolyl)ethanes, the structure of which was confirmed by their PMR spectra, are also formed in the vinylation of pyrazoles.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 9, pp. 1247–1251, September, 1976.
