Amplitude of Elastic Photon Scattering in Scalar Electrodynamics

In the present paper, the probability of creating pairs of scalar particles in an arbitrary plane electromagnetic wave field is calculated. The amplitude of elastic photon scattering in the field of an arbitrary plane electromagnetic wave is calculated by the method of dispersion relations. Special cases of the plane electromagnetic wave field are examined.     

A study of the photocatalytic activity of titanium dioxide nanopowders

Photodestruction and adsorption of dyes in aqueous suspensions of nanopowders of titanium dioxide of anatase modification was studied. The photocatalytic activity of titanium dioxide nanopowders was examined in relation to the dispersity of particles and pH of the medium.     

N,N'-Bis(vinyloxyalkyl) Dicarboxamides

N,N'-Bis(vinyloxyalkyl)oxamides and N,N'-bis(vinyloxyalkyl)phthalamides were synthesized in 60-95% yield by reactions of vinyloxyalkylamines with diethyl oxalate and phthalimide, respectively.     

Reaction of vinyloxyalkylamines with mercaptoacetic acid

N-[2(3)-Hydroxyalkylj-4-thiazolidinones have been synthesized by the reaction of 2(3)-vinyloxyalkylamines with mercaptoacetic acid in 24–69 % yield. The structure of the compounds obtained was supported by (R and¹H NMR spectroscopic data.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 3, pp. 677–679, March, 1996.     

Decomposition of N-cyclopropyl-N-nitrosourea in the presence of reducing agents as a new way of generating the cyclopropyl radical

A new way of generating cyclopropyl radicals in the base-catalyzed decomposition of N-cyclopropyl-N-nitrosourea in the presence of organic reducing agents (1-phenylpyrazolidin-3-one and 4-methoxyphenol) was developed. The cyclopropyl radical generated under these conditions can not only abstract a proton from the substrate to give cyclopropane but also form C-C or C-Br bonds in reactions with aromatic substrates or polybromomethanes. Dedicated to Academician O. M. Nefedov on the occasion of his 75th birthday. Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 11, pp. 1934–1938, November, 2006.     

Polyparaxylylene-CdS nanocomposite films: Optical spectra, photoluminescence, and surface topography

For polyparaxylylene-CdS nanocomposite films prepared by solid-phase cryochemical synthesis, the dependences of the optical absorption spectra, photoluminescence intensity, and surface topography on the CdS concentration were examined. It was revealed that the most significant changes, such as the shift of the position of the exciton absorption band by ～1 eV and the increase of the surface roughness (the magnitude of variation of heights h _max ? h _min along a surface profile) occur within a CdS concentration range of from ～5 to ～8 vol %. The average size of the nanoparticles was determined from the position of the exciton absorption maximum: 2R _np ? ? 3 nm at c ≤ 5 vol % and 2R _np ≥ 5?7 nm at c ≥ 10 vol %. The formation of 3-nm particles at low CdS concentrations was confirmed by the existence of exciton photoluminescence with maximum at 370 nm. Exciton luminescence was not observed at c ≥ 10 vol %. By contrast, at all c values, photoluminescence with maxima at ～520 and ～570 nm, which is usually assigned to interstitial S and Cd atoms, correspondingly, and a the weak emission of unknown nature with a maximum at 545 nm were observed.     

Theoretical study of isomerism in the molecules N2O,PNO, P2O,N2S,PNS, and P2S

We have carried out nonempirical calculations of the potential surface for isomeric rearrangements of the molecules N₂O, N₂S, PNO, PNS, P₂O, and P₂S. It was found that for the molecules N₂O and N₂S a linear structure is considerably more favorable than a cyclic one, which lies 60 kcal·mole^–1 higher and has low stability. For P₂O and P₂S the linear and cyclic isomers have similar energies. For PNO and PNS there are two linear isomers and one cyclic isomer. The isomers are separated by appreciable barriers and can exist independently. It is predicted for the ABC molecules with 16 valence electrons that if two or all three of the atoms belong to the third or a later period, then the cyclic isomers should be favored to at least the same extent as the linear isomers.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 4, pp. 794–802, April, 1990.
