Magnetic calorimeter for registration of small energy release

A scheme of magnetic calorimeter for registration of rare events characterized by small energy release (cosmic rays, WIMPs, solitary X-ray quanta) is proposed. The calorimeter is brought to operation by adiabatic demagnetization, and its magnetic response is measured by a quantum interferometer (SQUID, A. Barone and G. Paterno, Physics and applications of Josephson Effect). Special consideration is given to the specific features of calorimeter operation in the ferromagnetic transition region. The trigger registration of ultrasmall energy release by a ferromagnetic system in the metastable state is described.     

Observation of latent coherent effects in randomized systems

Coherent interference effects of the following three types are experimentally discovered in disordered (randomized) systems: (i) Josephson behavior of the HTSC polycrystal BaKBiO in the phase-separated state; (ii) oscillations of bismuth film resistance, which are periodic in “direct” magnetic field; and (iii) mesoscopic oscillations of the resistance in the course of film growth. In the first case, the method for detecting the “latent” nonstationary Josephson effect is substantiated by the frequency modulation method for microwave radiation, while in the other two cases, simple models are proposed to explain the nature of coherent oscillations of the resistance. The analogy between the observed oscillations and the Josephson effect in randomized systems is discussed.     

Azo coupling and aminomethylation of 2,5-diphenylpyrrole and its derivatives

The azo coupling of 2,5-diphenylpyrrole with arenediazonium chlorides has given previously unknown 3-arylazopyrroles and 4-phenylazo-3-phenylhydrazono-3H-pyrrole. The methylation and reductive acetylation of the anylazo derivatives have led to N-methylarylazo and acetylamino derivatives of 2,5-diphenylpyrrole. 3-Amino-2, 5-diphenylpyrrole has been obtained by the reduction of 3-p-chlorophenylazo-2,5-diphenylpyrrole. The aminomethylation of 2,5-diphenylpyrrole and its derivatives with bis(dialkylamino)methanes had led to aminomethyl derivatives.Deceased.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 5. pp. 612–615, May, 1986.     

Indolopyridines with a bridging heteroatom

Reaction of 2-acetylpyridine with 4-[2.2]paracyclophanyllithium or 4-acetyl[2.2]paracyclophane with 2-pyridllithium gives 1-([2.2]paracyclophan-4-yl)-1-(2-pyridyl)ethanol. Its molecular and crystalline structures have been studied by x-ray analysis. It was found that heating this alcohol in acid medium causes dehydration and heterocyclization to give 1-paracyclophanyl-1-pyridylethylene and 10-methyl[2.2]paracyclophano[4,5-bindolizine.For communication 9 see [1].

Lactam and amide acetals. 52. Reaction of dimethylformamide diethylacetal with 2,2-dimethyl-4,6-dioxo-1,3-dioxane (Meldrum's acid)

Depending on the conditions of carrying out the reaction of dimethylformamide diethylacetal with the Meldrum's acid, either 2,2-dimethyl-4,6-dioxo-5-(N,N-dimethyl-aminomethylene)-1,3-dioxane or N,N,N¹N¹-tetramethylformamidinium salt of 2,2-dimethyl-4,6-dioxo-5-(2,2-dimethyl-4,6-dioxo-1,3-dioxan-5-yl)methylene-1,3-di-oxane are formed.

Derivatives of azaindoles. 65. Synthesis of 1-benzyl-4-methyl-5-cyano-6-hydroxy-7-azaindoline

Treatment of the ammonium (I) or benzylammonium salt of 2,6-dihydroxy-3-(-hydroxyethyl)-4-methyl-5-cyanopyridine (II) with a mixture of benzylamine and phosphorus pentoxide yielded 2-benzylamino-3-(-hydroxyethyl)-4-methyl-5-cyano-6-hydroxypyri-dine (III), which, when heated with phosphorus oxychloride, is converted to 1-benzyl-4-methyl-5-cyano-6-hydroxy-7-azaindoline (IV). The products of thermal fragmentation of II with benzylamine were studied by the method of chromato-mass spectrometry. In addition to compound III, N,N-dibenzylurea (V) and the dibenzylamide of malonic acid (VI) were preparatively isolated from the reaction products. The cyclization of I and II to 4-methyl-6-hydroxy-2,3-dihydro-7-azabenzofuran (VII) and 4-methyl-5-cyano-6-hydroxy-2,3-dihydro-7-azabenzofuran (VIII) was carried out. Heating VIII with benzylamine at 200–210°C led to compound III.For communication 64, see [1].Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 8, pp. 1105–1109, August, 1984.     

Heat capacities of aqueous solutions of amino acid and dipeptide derivatives of fullerene

The concentration dependences of heat capacities of aqueous solutions of several amino acid and peptide derivatives of fullerene were measured by scanning differential calorimetry at 298 K. The heat capacities for the arginine, alanylalanine, and glycylvaline derivatives dissolved in water depend slightly on concentration. The concentration dependences of the heat capacities of aqueous solutions of the serine and alanine derivatives display extrema. The calculated contributions of hydration to the heat capacities of the dissolved fullerene derivatives have both positive and negative signs. Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Methodology of analysis of unseparated mixtures: Error limits in estimating the total analyte concentration recalculated to a standard substance

In estimating the total concentration of similar analytes recalculated to a standard substance X_st, different sensitivities of their determination result in a systematic error δc, depending on the choice of X_st and the composition of the analyzed mixture. Two methods of predicting the limiting values of this error (δc _max), with and without the account of the properties of X_st are proposed and tested on model mixtures. The methods can be used if the total analytical signal linearly depends on the concentrations of analytes and is additive (spectrophotometry, conductometry, etc.). The value of δc _max is independent of the ratio of analytes concentrations in the sample. To reduce δc _max, one should equalize the sensitivities of the determination of all compounds of a given type and use analytes with medium sensitivities as X_st.
