The ultraviolet spectra of silocyclobutanes

The UV spectra of Si-substituted silocyclobutanes in vacuum were studied. The bathochromic shift of the absorption band, disclosed by comparison with bands of the corresponding acyclic compounds, can be explained by the highly strained state of the four-membered ring. This same principle in disilocyclobutanes leads to the reduction of the barrier effect of the methylene group, disrupting the interaction of the silicon atoms in the unstrained molecule.     

Synthesis and properties of silacyclobutylsilazanes

Ammonolysis of silacyclobutanes {ie305-01} (R=Cl, CH₃) gives silacyelobutane di- and polysilazanes. Reaction of the disilazane {ie305-02} with 1-chloro-1-methyl-1-silacyelobutane at 20–80° gives a trisilyl-substituted amine {ie305-03}. Trisilyl-substituted amines with one silacyclobutyl group, are obtained by reacting silacyclobutanes {ie305-04} (R=CH₃, C₆H₅). with sodium or potassium silylamides prepared from hexamethyldisilazane. It is shown that it is possible to obtain silylamides by reacting disilazanes directly with potassium metal at 90–100°.     

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.     

High-Temperature Proton Conductors Based on Strontium and Barium Cerates: The Interphase Exchange and Diffusion of Oxygen

Kinetic parameters of interphase exchange of oxygen in high-temperature proton conductors BaCe_0.95Nd_0.05O_3- and SrCe_0.95Y_0.05O_3- are determined using an isotope exchange method in the temperature range 630-820°C at oxygen pressures of 2.7-13.3 gPa and diffusion coefficients for oxygen are calculated. Effective energies of activation of oxygen exchange and diffusion coefficients for oxygen are calculated. Dependence of exchange characteristics and the diffusion coefficients on the oxygen pressure in the gas phase is investigated. The oxygen exchange on the surface of studied oxides is shown to proceed only with the participation of oxygen of the oxides, which causes high rates of interphase exchange of oxygen of studied cerates of barium and strontium. It is shown that the obtained data satisfactorily agree with those found in the relevant literature.     

13C NMR spectra of some coumarins of Haplophyllum obtusifolium

Coumaris ofHaplophyllum obtusifolium Ledeb. — obtusinin, capensin, and fraxetin 7-O-β-D-glucopyranoside — have been investigated by¹³C NMR spectroscopy. Several distinctive features of their NMR spectra have been observed. A complete assignment of the¹³C NMR spectra of these coumarins has been made and their structures have been confirmed.
