Electronic effects of 2-azasilatran-3-one groups

1-Phenyl-2-azasilatran-3-ones have been studied by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy. The π-accepting ability of 2-azasilatran-3-one groups is substantially lower and their σ-donating ability is higher than those of (acetamido)diethoxysilyl groups of the model tetracoordinated compounds.     

Equilibrium problem for a Timoshenko plate with an oblique crack

The condition of mutual nonpenetration of the crack faces is proposed for a Timoshenko plate with an oblique crack, whose initial state is defined by a surface the normal to which makes a small angle with the middle plane. Unique solvability of the variational problem of plate equilibrium with the nonpenetration conditions for the crack faces specified on the curve describing the crack is proved. A differential formulation of the problem equivalent to the original formulation for sufficiently smooth solutions is proposed. For the one-dimensional case (beam with a cut), an analytical solution is obtained, and the cases of longitudinal tension and compression are examined.     

Association of bromate ion in nonaqueous solutions of alkali metal salts

Manifestations of ion association of lithium cation with BrO₃ ^- ion in the vibrational spectrum have been studied by IR spectroscopy. The microstructure of the bromate ion with lithium cation in a contact ion pair in an aprotic solvent has been determined by the density functional theory method in the B3LYP/cc-pVTZ approximation, and the vibrational spectrum of coordinated bromate ion has been calculated.     

Strong amplification of an electric field and electro-optical response in ultrathin heterostructures ferroelectric-linear dielectric

An electroded heterostructure consisting of a dye layer sandwiched between two polymer ferroelectric layers is discussed. The dye layer plays a role of the probe of the electric field measured by an electroabsorption technique. Using this new method the electric field in ferroelectric and dielectric layers can be measured separately. When an a.c. voltage is applied to the heterostructure, the electric field in the dye layer increases 2.2 times (up to 0.55 GV/m), whereas the field in the ferroelectric decreases 2 times with respect to the average field in the entire structure. Moreover, the dye layer sandwiched between the ferroelectric layers may stand without breakdown the fields 5–7 times higher than a neat reference dye layer confined between metal electrodes. Therefore, the performance of electro-optical, electromechanical and other field controlled devices may be improved considerably when their functional materials are placed between ferroelectrics layers.     

Thermochemical properties of new N,O-chelate Sc, Eu, and Tb complexes for OLED-devices

A new class of Sc, Eu, and Tb complexes with N,O-chelate ligands was synthesized for the first time. The mass spectra, thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry data, as well as the data on the saturated vapor pressure of the compounds were obtained. The main thermochemical parameters of the compounds were calculated.     

[2+4] Cycloaddition of η6-(styrene)chromium tricarbonyl and conjugated dienes

Cycloaddition of η⁶-(styrene)chromium tricarbonyl to hexa-2,4-diene or cyclopentadiene afford the Diels-Alder adducts with retention of the Cr(CO)₃ group, whereas cyclohexa-1,3-diene undergoes aromatization to give η⁶-(benzene)chromium tricarbonyl. The counter synthesis of these (arene)chromium tricarbonyl derivatives from uncoordinated adducts of the Diels-Alder reaction and chromium hexacarbonyl was carried out.
