(Received 7 December 1998)
Absorption spectra of some 3-N-(4-substituted phenyl)-5-carboxy uracils (substiuents: H, Cl, Br, I, Me, Et, OMe, COOH and NO2) were recorded in twelve solvents in the range 200-400 nm. The effects of solvent polarity and hydrogen bonding on the absorption spectra are interpreted by means of linear solvation energy relationships using a general equation of the form n=n0+sp*+bb+aa, where p* is a measure of the solvent polarity, bis the scale of the solvent hydrogen bond acceptor basicities and ais the scale of the solvent hydrogen bond donor acidities.

Key words: ultraviolet absorption spectra, solvent effects, linear solvation energy relationships.

(Received 17 September 1998, revised 11 January 1999)
The total synthesis of Ochrolifuanine A (1a) has been completed in seven steps, starting from the condensation of tryptamine with ethyl-3-trialkylsiloxy propenoate, as the key step. A plausible mechanism for this reaction is proposed. The structures of the intermediates are also discussed in light of the spectral data obtained.

Key words: bisindol alkaloid, Ochrolifuanine A synthesis, Michael type condesation.

The cyclic ketones 1 and 4 are reduced with Mg(OH)2 in 2-propanol with a pronounced stereoselectivity to give (practically in quantitative yield) mixtures of the a - and b-hydroxyl compound in which the respective equatorial isomer prevails, while a similar reduction of the steroidal diketones 7 and 10, proceeds both regioselectively (occuring only at the 3-oxo group) and stereoselectively to produce preferentially the corresponding 3b-alcohol.

Key words: thermally activated Mg(OH)2, reduction of rigid ketones, 2-propanol.

(Received 13 July 1998)
13C-NMR spectroscopy and gel-permeation chromatography studies were carried out on different samples of typical commercial phenol-formaldehyde novolac resins. Six random novolac resins (NLO 1-6), with decreasing ratios of phenol/formaldehyde from 1:0.75 to 1:0.85, were prepared in the presence of oxalic acid at two different concentratons. A high-ortho novolac resin (NL-OO') was synthesized in the pH range 4-6 using zinc acetate (Zn(OAc)2), as catalyst. An improved description of the chemical structure, in terms of composition, the number of free para- and ortho- positions, the isomeric distribution, the degree of polymerization, the number average molecular weight, the degree of branching and molecular weight distribution, was obtained.

Key words: novolac resins, phenol-formaldehyde resins, NMR-spectroscopy, GPC-chromatography.

(Received 27 November 1998)
In the three newly-prepared mixed dinuclear penta-coordinated cobalt(II) complexes, with the pendant macrocyclic ligand N,N',N'',N'''-tetrakis(2-pyridylmethyl)-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane (tpmc) and pseudohalides, of the general formula SCo2(NCY)ntpmcC(ClO4)4-n(Y = O, n = 1; Y = S, Se, n = 2), the NCO- group is bridging, and the other two pseudohalides are nonbridging, i.e., singly coordinated to each metal in the trans position. It can be supposed that the pendant ligand assumes the boat conformation, in complex involving the cyanate ligand whereas it is in the chair conformation in the complexes involving the thiocyanate and selenocyanate ligands. It was found that these complexes exhibit biological activity towards the following strains of microorganisms: Esherichia coli (ATCC 25922), Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25923), Bacillus thuringiensis (ssp. kurstaki), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC 27853) and Candida albicans.

Key words: pendant octaazamacrocycle, cobalt(II) complexes, antimicrobial activity, pseudohalides.

Hyperenergetic molecular graphs

IVAN GUTMAN

Faculty of Science, University of Kragujevac, P.O.Box 60, YU-34000 Kragujevac, Yugoslavia
 

(Received 21 December 1998)
If G is a molecular graph and l1, l2,..., ln are its eigenvalues, then the energy of G is equal to E(G) = ,l1,+ ,l2, + .... +,ln,. Knowing that E(G) increases with the number of edges of G, it was expected that the complete graph Kn has greates energy among all n-vertex graphs. This, however, is not so and there exist hyperenergetic graphs, i.e., graphs whose energies exceed E(Kn). It will be shovn how hyperenergetic graphs can be constructed for all n > 8.

Key words: total p-electron energy, energy of graph, cluster graph, hyperenergetic graph.

(Received 24 July, revised 22 October 1998)
The aim of this paper is to contribute to the knowledge of the quantitative formulation of the ion exchange reaction in clays. The equilibrium was studied at 11 °C in a system of solutions of NaCl and MgCl2, the concentrations of which never exceeded 0.1 mol dm-3, and the "Jelenkovac" montmorillonite, the particle size of which was below 2 mm. The standard reaction Gibbs energy of the Mg-Na exchange determined by applying the Gapon equation (DrGoNaMg = 11.9 kJ mol-1) and that obtained according to Levy-Shainberg (DrGoNaMg =  10.5 kJ mol-1) showed a large degree of concordance. The latter method also includes the exchangeable ion activity coefficient obtained from ion-clay interaction data which includes data on the thickness of the interlayer space in the montmorillonite structure, as well as the thickness of the basis montmorillonite layer itself.

Key words: Standard reaction Gibbs energy, cation exchange reaction, montmorillonite, clays.

(Received 23 November 1998)
The sorption of NOx and ammonia was performed on sepiolite paper, laboratory prepared from the mineral sepiolite and cellulose or glass fibers. It was found that nitric oxides are sorbed at room temperature; that, in the first adsorption-desorption cycles (desorption at 160°C), a part of the oxides is irreversibly sorbed and the other part is physically reversibly sorbed, since the adsorbed and desorbed quantities of NOx are approximately constant during 30 cycles. Ammonia is only physically sorbed on the sepiolite in the paper, but after saturation of the papers saturation with NOx, the sorbed quantity increases more than five times. Visualisation of some of the sorption products on the surface of the sepiolite paper is presented, in the form of SEM photographs.
 
Key words: sorption, nitric oxides, ammonia, sepiolite, SEM.

A new procedure for evaluating the material resistance curve under static loading conditions by applying the potential drop method

Military Technical Institute, Kataniceva 15, YU-11000 Belgrade, Yugoslavia

 
(Received 9 December 1998)
This paper presents a new technique of J-R curve evaluation using the continuously cracked single specimen potential drop method (SSPD). The experiments were performed under static loading conditions on fatigue precracked standard Charpy specimens. The specimens were machined from high strength steel, NN-70 (YU version of USA HY-100). The displacement and potential drop were measured and the evaluated static J-R curve is in good agreement with the J-R curve obtained by the standard ASTM-E 1152 method. This method has advantages over the standard procedures, since it uses a single specimen which is continuously cracked. This opens the perspective to use the new procedure for evaluating dynamic J-R curves and possibilities for application on materials with microstructural heterogeneity, i.e., welded joints.
 
Key words: fracture mechanics, J integral, resistance curve, J-R curve, crack growth, potential drop method, material testing.
