The title compound, C(11)H(11)BrN(4)O(3), features an ethane fragment substituted with an almost planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.019 Å) imidazo[4,5-b]pyridone ring system and an envelope-shaped oxazolidine unit on separate C atoms. The N-CH(2)-CH(2)-N torsion angle is 52.5 (4)°. In the crystal, pairs of mol-ecules are linked by N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds into centrosymmetric dimers.

Chilling-induced photooxidation was studied in detached leaves of chilling-sensitive (CS) cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) and chilling resistant (CR) pea (Pisum sativum L.). The rates of photosynthesis and respiration, measured as O(2) exchange, were found to be comparable in the two species over a temperature range of 5 to 35 degrees C. Chilling at 5 degrees C for 12 hours in high light (1000 mi...

Non-Oberbeck-Boussinesq (NOB) effects are measured experimentally and calculated theoretically for strongly turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection of ethane gas under pressure where the material properties strongly depend on the temperature. Relative to the Oberbeck-Boussinesq case we find a decrease of the central temperature as compared to the arithmetic mean of the top- and bottom-plate temper...

We have analysed the ISO-SWS spectrum of Jupiter in the 12–16 μm range, where several hydrocarbons exhibit rovibrational bands. Using temperature information from the methane and hydrogen emissions, we derive the mixing ratios (q) of acetylene and ethane at two independent pressure levels. For acetylene, we find q = (8.9 −0.6)× 10 −7 at 0.3 mbar and q = (1.1 −0.1)× 10 −7 at 4 mbar, giving a slo...

The hydrate structure type and dissociation behavior for pure methane and methane-ethane hydrates at temperatures below the ice point and atmospheric pressure were investigated using in situ Raman spectroscopic analysis. The self-preservation effect of sI methane hydrate is significant at lower temperatures (268.15 to 270.15 K), as determined by the stable C-H region Raman peaks and AL/AS value...

OBJECTIVE To study in vitro the effect of two cross-linking silanes, bis-1,2-(triethoxysilyl)ethane and bis[3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl]amine, blended with an organofunctional silane coupling agent, (3-acryloxypropyl)trimethoxysilane, on the shear bond strength between resin-composite cement and silicatized zirconia after dry storage and thermocycling. MATERIALS AND METHODS Six tested groups of...

We present the application of a mathematical method reported earlier by which the van der Waals-Platteeuw statistical mechanical model with the Lennard-Jones and Devonshire approximation can be posed as an integral equation with the unknown function being the intermolecular potential between the guest molecules and the host molecules. This method allows us to solve for the potential directly fo...

Several mass spectrometry methods were explored to determine the regiospecificity of deuterium substitutions in hydrocarbon mixtures. The case investigated in this work was that of ethane mixtures obtained by catalytic HD exchange between either C(2)H(6) and D(2) or C(2)D(6) and H(2) over platinum surfaces. A total of ten isotopologs are possible, and were indeed detected in all cases. Deconvol...

Irradiation of CpMn(CO)3 in liquid ethane at 135 K at 355 nm yields a photoproduct that exhibits ν(CO) bands in the IR spectrum shifted to low wavenumber with respect to CpMn(CO)3 that are indicative of a Mn(i) dicarbonyl. Parallel experiments employing in situ irradiation within an NMR probe (133 K, 355 nm photolysis) reveal the 1H NMR signals of this product and confirm its formulation as the...
