Nonisothermal relaxation and electromigration in single crystals of Ca3Ga2Ge4O14

The photoconductivity and electrical conductivity, the thermally stimulated polarization and depolarization currents, the permittivity, and the dielectric losses of noncentrosymmetric Ca₃Ga₂Ge₄O₁₄ crystals of a structural type of trigonal calcium gallogermanate (CGG) have been studied for the first time in the temperature interval 100–700 K in air and in vacuum. The features of the temperature behavior of CGG are associated, in particular, with the effect of electrically active defects and partial disordering of the cation sublattice of the crystal structure, which generates polar formations (dipoles) of several kinds. Certain parameters of the electromigration and of the electrically active defects that cause charge-relaxation and polarization effects are determined. It is concluded that dipole relaxation in CGG makes it a new representative of a class of materials in which reorientation of the dipoles as a system of mobile local distortions of the structure has a substantial effect on the physical properties.

2,3,3-trimethyl-3h-pyrrolo[3,2-c]quinolines and polymethine dyes based on them

2,3,3-Trimethyl-3H-pyrrolo[3,2-c]quinoline and its 8-methoxy derivative were obtained from methyl isopropyl ketone 4-quinolylhydrazones. These bases form quaternary salts at the azine nitrogen atom, from which polymethine dyes were obtained. The changes in the absorption spectra of the dyes in solutions with various acidities were examined.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 7, pp. 948–951, July, 1982.     

Glycosides of (+)-syringaresinol and 2-methylbut-3-en-2-yl β-D-glucopyranoside from the leaves ofNolina microcarpa

Two furofuranoid lignan glycosides, having the structures of (+)-syringaresinol 4′,4″-di-β-D-glucopyranoside (1) and (+)-syringaresinol 4′-β-D-glucopyranoside (2), and also 2-methylbut-3-en-2-yl β-D-glucopyranoside (3), have been isolated from an extract of the leaves ofNolina microcarpa (fam. Dracaenaceae).     

N,N,N′-Trialkyl-1,8-diaminonaphthalenes: convenient method of preparation from protonated proton sponges and the first X-ray information

A simple procedure for the synthesis of N,N,N′-trialkyl-1,8-diaminonaphthalenes is described. It consists in partial demethylation (dealkylation) of commercially available proton sponge [1,8-bis(dimethylamino)naphthalene] and some of its derivatives at heating with HBr-KI-DMF system. Limitation, scope and a possible mechanistic pathway for the reaction are discussed. For isomeric 8-dimethylamino-1-methylamino- and 1-dimethylamino-8-methylamino-4-nitronaphthalenes, X-ray measurements have been conducted. The first examples of complete realkylation reactions in the naphthalene proton sponges are reported.     

Steroids of the spirostan and furostan series from nolina microcarpa III. Structure of nolinofurosides G and H

Two new glycosides which have been called nolinofurosides G(I) and H(III), have been isolated from the leaves ofNolina microcarpa. Nolinofuroside G is the sodium salt of 26-β-D-glucofuranosyloxy-(25S)-furost-5,20(22)-diene-1β, 3β-diol 1-sulfate, and nolinofuroside H is the sodium salt of 1-β-D-fucopyranosyloxy-26-β-D-glucopyranosyloxy-(25S)-furost-5,20(22)-dinen-1β-3β-ol 3-sulfate.

Writing with DNA and protein using a nanopipet for controlled delivery

We present a new, general method for the controlled deposition of biological molecules on surfaces, based on a nanopipet operating in ionic solution. The potential applied to the pipet tip controls the flux of biological molecules from the pipet, allowing fine control of the delivery rate. We used the ion current to control the distance of the pipet from the surface of a glass slide and deposited the fluorescently labeled DNA or protein G at a defined location onto the surface. Features of 830 nm size were obtained by depositing the biotinylated DNA onto a streptavidin surface; 1.3 mum size spots were obtained by depositing protein G onto a positively charged glass surface.     

Coagulation Peculiarities and Fractionation of Nanodispersed Titanium Dioxide Hydrosol

A coagulation of nanodispersed TiO₂ hydrosol mainly consisting of individual anatase nanocrystallites stabilized with HCl was studied. It was shown that only a part of a dispersed phase coagulates when a certain amount of HCl was added to the sol, and larger nanocrystallites are settled first. The procedure for the separation of the sol into the fractions of various dispersity was developed.     

The spectra of 3-OXO-2, 3-dihydrothianaphthene and its derivatives

Condensation of isatin--anil with acetylacetone and with derivatives of malonic and acetoacetic acids in acetic anhydride has given 5 indogenides. It is observed that isatin--anil is readily acetylated by acetic anhydride. The acetyl derivative is very reactive, and is an intermediate in the condensation of isatin--anil with acetylacetone in acetic anhydride. The indogenides which have been synthesized are nonphototropic as a result of the presence of intramolecular hydrogen bonds.For part IX, see [1].     

Adsorption-induced Depression of the Strength of Potassium Chloride Grains under the Action of Fatty Amines and Water

The surface activity of higher aliphatic amines and their salts at the interface between their solutions and air, oil, and KCl grains and their influence on the strength characteristics, moisture absorption, and caking of the grains were studied.
