Mechanism and applications of the photochemistry of Bis(η^5-cyclopentadienyl)titanacyclobutanes

The photochemically induced reductive elimination of cyclopropanes from bis(η⁵-cyclopentadienyl)titanacyclobutanes has been examined. Stereochemical labelling studies indicate that the cyclopropane is initially formed in a 6±1:1, ratio favoring retention of stereochemistry. The starting titanacyclobutane is isomerized during the course of the reaction. The isomerization of the starting material results from metal-carbon bond homolysis to yield a 1,4-biradical, which can either close to give the starting material or generate cyclopropane. The 1,4-biradical can be observed through a cyclopropyl carbinyl rearrangement employing 2-bis(η⁵- cyclopentadienyl)titana-5,5-dimethylbicyclo[2.1.0]pentane, to give the titanium alkylidene, 1-bis(η⁵-cyclopentadienyl)titana-3,3-dimethyl-1,4- pentadiene, which can be observed directly by NMR at low temperature.

The oxidation of titanacyclobutanes by chemical and electrochemical methods also yields cyclopropanes. Reduction of the metal center does not yield cyclopropanes. Depending on the oxidant, stereochemically labelled titanacyclobutanes yield cyclopropanes that are between 7:1 and 100:1 retention:isomerization. The fragmentation reaction resembles the photochemically induced reductive elimination. Both result from formal oxidation of a metal-carbon bond, which then results in very rapid formation of cyclopropane.

The titanocene generated photochemically reacts with a variety of substrates even at low temperature. Titanocene can be generated in a glass at 77 K. The titanocene can be trapped in noncoordinating solvents in high yield with bulky internal acetylenes to give monoacetylene adducts of titanocene. Less bulky acetylenes give the titanacyclopentadienes. The titanocene can be trapped with olefins to give less stable adducts, which appear by NMR analysis to be intermediate in structure between a titanacyclopropane and an η² olefin adduct of titanocene. Reaction of titanocene with butadiene gives a stable product, which appears to be the s-trans butadiene adduct of titanocene. It does not isomerize on heating. Titanocene reacts with epoxides to give titanocene-µ-oxo polymer and olefin. Stereochemically labelled epoxides and episulfides yield isomerized olefin upon deoxygenation by titanocene. The observations are rationalized as a result of a 1,4-biradical formed by stepwise insertion of titanocene into a carbon-oxygen bond.

The predatory feeding of Acanthocyclops viridis (Jur.) (Copepoda, Cyclopoida). [Translation from: Trudy Inst.Biol.Vodokhranil. 2(5) 117-127, 1959. ]

The feeding of freshwater copepods, especially cyclopoida, has been poorly covered in research so far. The majority of existing special works on the feeding of cyclopoida illustrate this question only from the qualitative side. The food content of the nauplius of freshwater cyclops has not been studied at all, as also the feeding of adult entomostracans on bacteria. Moreover the question of the suitability of vegetable food for Cyclops is not clear enough. This article aims to elucidate as fully as possible the nutrition of Acanthocyclops viridis (Jur.) - a large cyclops, inhabiting the mass of demersal layers of the open parts of the Rybinsk reservoir and its foreshore. The present work is devoted only to the predatory feeding of A. viridis, and includes data from the content of the intestines of cyclops, collected in natural conditions, and also the results of experimental observations carried out in a laboratory during 1958.

Tests of some specific effect substances in duck nutrition. Translation from: Biologisace a chemisaze vyzivy svirat 5, 43-48, 1969.]

There is a constantly increasing collection of manufactured substances, whose effectiveness in the sustenance of ducks is under investigation. The author examines the effects of some substances already previously tested and also there were examined substances which had not hitherto been studied. The use of different supplements for late autumn fattening is studied through various experiments.

Respiration and the efficiency of energy during embryonic development of Asellus aquaticus L. (Crustacea) [Translation from: Vestsi Akademii Navuk Belorusskoi SSR, Seriya Biyal. 1978(5) 112-114, 1978]

Experimental studies were carried out on the transformation of matter and energy during embryonic development of the isopod Crustacea Asellus aquaticus L. under two constant temperatures. Material for the experiments was collected in the quarry lakes of the Kurasovshchin-zone (city-Minsk) at 9°C in April and at 18°C in June, 1977. The rate of consumption of oxygen per specimen by eggs and embryos of Asellus aquaticus was observed and dynamics of the basic biological characteristics during embryonic development studied.

Criação de mesoporos em zeólitas ZSM-5, mordenita e ferrierita e análise de seu efeito na reação de hidroisomerização do n-heptano

As zeólitas têm recebido grande atenção acadêmica e industrial devido às suas características ácidas e estruturais. A estrutura da zeólita pode ser utilizada para conduzir uma reação catalítica na direção do produto desejado, evitando assim reações paralelas. Porém, essa mesma estrutura cria restrições difusivas com relação ao acesso aos sítios ativos no interior dos microporos. Neste trabalho foram estudados dois métodos de criação de mesoporos (térmico e básico) com o intuito de modificar a acessibilidade aos sítios catalíticos das zeólitas. A reação de hidroisomerização do n-heptano foi selecionada para avaliar as zeólitas após a criação de mesoporosidade. O tratamento térmico (via calcinação em temperaturas elevadas) foi utilizado para as zeólitas do tipo ZSM-5, Mordenita e Ferrierita, tendo sido observado um aumento pouco significativo na mesoporosidade. Este tratamento promoveu, porém, uma significativa desaluminização das amostras, acompanhada da formação de quantidades importantes de espécies de Al extra-rede (ALER), o que se refletiu num bloqueio parcial dos mesoporos gerados e dos microporos preexistentes, e na redução na densidade de sítios ácidos das amostras. A ampliação da escala do tratamento térmico (aumento da quantidade tratada de 2 g para 30 g) não se mostrou reprodutível, gerando menos mesoporos do que o observado no preparo em pequena escala. O tratamento básico (via dessilicação por meio de NaOH), ao contrário do anterior, promoveu a formação de mesoporos gerando menos quantidade de ALER e se mostrou mais reprodutível quando da ampliação da escala. O desempenho dos catalisadores Pt/Al2O3+zeólita na reação de hidroisomerização do n-heptano foi influenciado pela densidade de sítios ácidos fortes e pela estrutura porosa da zeólita. Com relação ao efeito dos tratamentos térmico e básico sobre o desempenho dos catalisadores à base de ZSM-5, os resultados mostraram que o comportamento do catalisador submetido ao tratamento básico (Pt/Al2O3+BZSM-5/85-2) foi similar ao do tratado termicamente (Pt/Al2O3+TZSM-5/1000-2) com relação à distribuição de produtos na reação de hidroisomerização do n-heptano, particularmente com relação aos produtos leves e aos isômeros monorramificados. No entanto, a presença mais significativa de mesoporos na zeólita após tratamento básico (BZSM-5/85-2), se refletiu num leve favorecimento à formação dos isômeros birramificados

Estudio de catalizadores basados en zeolitas HZSM-5 sometidas a tratamiento in situ con vapor de agua para la transformación de 1-buteno a propileno

El propileno es un monómero muy versátil y es la materia prima para una amplia gama de polímeros, intermedios y productos químicos. Esta versatilidad se debe a su estructura química: al igual que el etileno, el propileno contiene un doble enlace carbono - carbono, pero a diferencia de éste, el propileno contiene también un grupo metil - alílico (un grupo metilo adyacente a un doble enlace), otorgando a los químicos, diseñadores catalíticos e ingenieros dos distintas alternativas para llevar a cabo las trasformaciones químicas, por lo que son más numerosos los derivados del propilen o que del etileno (Plotkin, 2005).

Aspects of the washout of salmonid eggs. 5. Attempts to assess the importance of washout as a cause of mortailty

The paper reviews the methodology of attempts to assess the importance of washout as a cause of loss of salmonid eggs and alevins. The results of this study are presented of various small-scale field trials using buried artificial salmonid eggs and tethered table tennis balls. The results suggested that, even when few eggs were actually lost by washout, some downstream movement of the upper layers of gravel and of artificial eggs might have taken place.
