Experimental heat capacity data for the alcaline-earth-oxides have been used to analyse by a new method the high temperature thermodynamic properties of these crystals in terms of quasi-harmonic and explicit anharmonic contributions. The explicit anharmonic contribution AC is consistent with theoretical predict ions ; AC is proportional to T in a first order approximation. The factor of anharmo...

N-dodecyl-N,N-dimethyl-N-benzylammonium halides (DBeAX), like many other amphiphilic quaternary ammonium salts, show biological activity. One of these halides is a major component of "benzalkonium chloride", which is widely used as an antiseptic in pharmaceutical preparations. The mechanism responsible for the antimicrobial action of surfactants is not clearly understood, particularly the role ...

Halide ions are ubiquitous in natural waters and wastewaters. Halogens play an important and complex role in environmental photochemical processes and in reactions taking place during photochemical water treatment. While inert to solar wavelengths, halides can be converted into radical and non-radical reactive halogen species (RHS) by sensitized photolysis and by reactions with secondary reacti...

The dissociative electron attachment cross sections for the methyl halides vary in an enormous range from the virtually unmeasurable 10−23 cm2 for CH3Cl at room temperature to 10 −14 cm2 for CH3I. In this paper we supplement our previous studies by calculations of dissociative electron attachment to CH3Br and compare results for all methyl halides studied so far. The rate as a function of tempe...

2-(3-(1H-Indol-3-yl)-5-(p-tolyl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-4-substituted-5-(substituted diazenyl)thiazoles and 2-(1H-indol-3-yl)-9-substituted-4,7-disubstituted pyrido[3,2-e][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyrimidin-5(7H)-ones were synthesized via reaction of hydrazonoyl halides with each of 3-(1H-indol-2-yl)-5-(p-tolyl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazole-1-carbothioamide and 7-(1H-indol-3-yl)-2- thioxo-5-substi...

Different types of chiral “privileged” ligands 1 and 2 in promoting enantioselective addition of allylating agents to aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes are described. Here, a new concept in the asymmetric allylation reaction is presented. Redox [Cr(Salen)] mediated addition of allyl halides to carbonyl compounds is described, and mechanistic investigations are discussed. These results open acces...

A regioselective synthesis of 6-ω-alkenyluridines 3, precursors of potent antiviral and antitumor cyclonucleosides 5, is described. While ω-alkenyl halides do not alkylate 6-lithiouridine, compounds 3 were prepared in a regioselective manner by sequential treatment of 6-methyluridine 2 with LTMP or LDA (4 equiv) in THF at -30 °C followed by alkylation with ω-alkenyl bromides.

[VO2F(L-L)] (L-L = 2,2'-bipyridyl, 1,10-phenanthroline, Me2N(CH2)2NMe2) and [VO2F(py)2] (py = pyridine) have been prepared from the corresponding [VOF3(L-L)] or [VOF3(py)2] and O(SiMe3)2 in MeCN solution. VO2F (itself made from VOF3 and O(SiMe3)2 in MeCN) forms [Me4N][VO2F2] with [Me4N]F, but does not react with neutral N- or O-donor ligands. VO2Cl, prepared from VOCl3 and ozone, reacts with 2,...

The reduction of UVI uranyl halides or amides with simple LnII or UIII salts forms highly symmetric, linear, oxo-bridged trinuclear UV /LnIII /UV , LnIII /UIV /LnIII , and UIV /UIV /UIV complexes or linear LnIII /UV polymers depending on the stoichiometry and solvent. The reactions can be tuned to give the products of one- or two-electron uranyl reduction. The reactivity and magnetism of these ...
