Heterocyclic compounds from 3-(4-phenyl) benzoyl propionic acid

3-(4-Phenyl) benzoyl propionic acid was used as the starting material for the synthesisof furanones (2), pyrrolinones (5), pyridazinones (7), benzoxazinones (8) and quinazolinones (9-11). The behaviour of the derivatives of furanones and benzoxazinones toward different nucleophiles is reported.     

Structural refinements of praseodymium and neodymium orthophosphate

The crystal structures of PrPO₄ and NdPO₄ have been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction techniques. The structures are isostructural with CePO₄ and LaPO₄, and are monoclinic in space group $\text{P2}{}_1\text{n}$. The cell constants are a = 6.741(3), b = 6.961(4), c = 6.416(3) Å, and β = 103.63(3)° for PrPO₄ and a = 6.722(1), b = 6.933(1), c = 6.390(2) Å, and β = 103.72(2)° for NdPO₄. The least-squares structural refinements of PrPO₄ and NdPO₄ yielded R values of 0.034 and 0.038 based on 810 and 947 unique reflections, respectively. The lanthanide metal atoms are coordinated with nine oxygens and are linked together by very slightly distorted tetrahedral phosphate groups. The nine oxygen atoms ligating the lanthanide atoms form a polyhedron that is best described as a pentagonal interpenetrating tetrahedron.     

Influence of vanadium doping on the behavior of YBa_2Cu_3O_7-y

YBa2Cu3-xVxO7-y(x=0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5 and 0.6) superconductors have been prepared. X-ray diffraction shows that the system remains orthorhombic for all compositions studied, but for x > 0.4 V2O5 was detected as an impurity phase. Substitution of V5+ for Cu2+ occurs in the Cu(2) sites on the Cu(2)-O planes. The introduction of the high valence element, vanadium, produces the extra free-electrons. These electrons recombine with the positive carrier of the system. It makes depression of the mobility and the Hall number of YBa2Cu3-xVxO7-v and also results in a depression of TC.     

CHEMILUMINESCENCE AND FLUORESCENCE OF THE EUROPIUM IONS-ADENINE NUCLEOTIDES SYSTEM AND ITS POSSIBLE BIOLOGICAL SIGNIFICANCE

Abstract— Chemiluminescence of the Eu(II)/Eu(III)-adenine nucleotide-H₂O₂ system and fluorescence of the Eu(III)-adenosine triphosphate system have been investigated. The spectral distribution of the chemiluminescence emission has shown an occurrence of three main bands (Λ=470–480,590–620 and ca. 700 nm). The energy transfer process from the adenosine triphosphate molecules to the Eu(III) ions has been observed in the fluorescence spectrum. The examined chemiluminescence and fluorescence spectra show that these both kinds of emission originate from the ⁵ D _***τ⁷F_*** ( n =1–4) transitions in the Eu(III) ions.
