The stable forking conjecture and generic structures

 We prove that for any simple theory which is constructed via Fr?issé-Hrushovski method, if the forking independence is the same as the d-independence then the stable forking property holds.

A novel simple pyrolytic approach towards anhydronucleosides

An interesting novel gas phase thermal intramolecular substitution reaction was discovered, which led to the conversion of the 2-β-d-N-glucosyl, 2-β-d-N-galactosyl and 2-β-d-N-ribosyl derivatives of 3-thioxo-2,3-dihydro-1,2,4-triazin-5(4H)-ones into their corresponding 3,2′-anhydro-β-d-mannosyl, 3,2′-anhydro-β-d-talosyl and 3,2′-anhydro-β-d-arabinosyl derivatives. The structures of these new anhydroglycosyls were determined by NMR experiments and by X-ray crystallography.     

Gas-phase thermolysis of thieno[3,2-e][1,2,4]triazines. Interesting routes towards heterocyclic ring systems

Gas-phase thermolysis of thieno[3,2-e][1,2,4]triazines gave benzonitrile, isothiazole, pyrimidine, [1]benzothieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine and thieno[3,2-d]thiazole derivatives. A mechanism of these pyrolytic transformation was proposed. Two new and efficient syntheses of the starting thieno[3,2-e][1,2,4]triazines were reported.     

The effect of substituents on the extraction behavior of hydroxamic acids

The extraction behavior of several alkyl-substituted hydroxamic acids in chloroform solution with several metal ions is described. Among the N-phenylacylhydroxamic acids used, those with o-alkyl substituents on either the phenyl or acyl ring generally do not extract metals, apparently because of steric problems at the O=CNO^? chelation site. An improved synthesis of substituted hydroxamic acids is reported.     

Structural characterization of single-walled carbon nanotube bundles by experiment and molecular simulation

A procedure, combining molecular simulation, Raman spectroscopy, and standard nitrogen adsorption, is developed for structural characterization of single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) samples. Grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations of nitrogen adsorption are performed on the external and internal adsorption sites of homogeneous arrays of SWNTs of diameters previously determined by Raman spectroscopy of the sample. The results show the importance of the peripheral grooves of a nanotube bundle at low relative pressure and the insensitivity of nanotube diameter toward adsorption on the external surface of the bundle at higher pressures. Simulations also reveal that samples containing thin nanotubes have less internal adsorption capacity that saturates at lower pressure than those comprising large diameter nanotubes. The fraction of open-ended nanotubes in a sample can be estimated by scaling the simulated internal adsorption inside nanotubes to obtain a near perfect fit between simulated and experimental isotherms. This procedure allows extrapolation of adsorption properties to conditions in which all nanotubes in the sample are open-ended.     

Die Veresterungsgeschwindigkeiten der Monoaminobenzoesäuren und der 1- und 2-Pyridinkarbonsäuren in Glykol und Glyzerin

Zusammenfassung Es werden die Veresterungsgeschwindigkeiten der Monoaminobenzoesäuren und der 1- und 2-Pyridinkarbonsäuren bei 25° mit Chlorwasserstoff als Katalysator sowohl in wasserfreiem als auch in wasserhaltigem Glykol und in wasserfreiem Glyzerin gemessen, die derm- und derp-Aminobenzoesäure und der 2-Pyridinkarbonsäure (Nikotinsäure) auch in wasserhaltigem Glyzerin. Die Abhängigkeit der monomolekularen Geschwindigkeitskonstanten vom Wassergehalt (w) des Mediums und dem Überschuß der Konzentration der Salzsäure über die der organischen Säure, bzw. ihres Esters (C) wird für die drei zuletzt genannten Säuren durch Formeln dargestellt. Diese Geschwindigkeitskonstanten nehmen durchwegs sowohl in wasserfreiem als auch in wasserhaltigem Glykol und Glyzerin nicht nur rascher als die Konzentration der gesamten Salzsäure, sondern auch als die des obigen Überschusses, d. h. der freien Salzsäure, zu.FürC=1/3 sind beiw=0.03 die Geschwindigkeitskonstanten derm- und derp-Aminobenzoesäure und der Nikotinsäure in Äthylalkohol um 20–30 %, die der Anthranilsäure um 70%, die der Pikolinsäure um 130% größer als in Glykol, beiw=0.7 dagegen die der drei ersteren Säuren um 35–50% kleiner.In Glykol sind die Konstanten bei der Anthranilsäure und den Pyridinkarbonsäuren kleiner als in Glyzerin, bei den übrigen wie bei den früher untersuchten Säuren aber größer.Die sterische Wirkung der Aminogruppe in Orthostellung ist in Glykol größer, in Glyzerin kleiner als in Äthylalkohol.Unter gleichen Bedingungen Bind die Konstanten der Veresterungsgeschwindigkeit der Nikotinsäure in Glykol und Glyzerin etwa viermal, in Äthylalkohol nur etwa zweimal größer als die der Pikolinsäure.     

Direct evidence for the gas phase thermal polymerization of styrene. Determination of the initiation mechanism and structures of the early oligomers by ion mobility

We present here direct evidence for the thermal self-initiated polymerization of styrene in the gas phase and establish that the initiation process proceeds via essentially the same mechanism (the Mayo mechanism) as in condensed phase polymerization. Furthermore, we provide structural identifications of the dimers and trimers formed in the gas phase.     

Physical,chemical and biological studies on transition metal complexes of chelating tridentate ligand

Summary The interaction of 1-benzoin-4-phenylthiosemicarbazone (H₂ BPS) with some transition metal ions has been investigated. The ligand can function as a tridentate chelating agent, giving M(HBPS)₂ and M(BPS). Potentiometric studies proved that the mechanism of chelation is based on hydrogen ion liberation. Spectral studies in solution show that the ligand could be used for the microdetermination of Cu^IIions. On the basis of magnetic and spectral data, an octahedral structure is proposed for the Co^II and Ni^II complexes and a square-planar structure for the Cu^II complex. The corrosion inhibition of aluminium in Cl₃CCO₂H using H₂BPS is studied. The electrical conductivity of H₂BPS and of its complexes have been measured. The ligand shows an activation energy in the range of semiconducting materials. The antimicrobial activity of all compounds has also been demonstrated.
