The rapid, degenerate 1,2-hydride shift in 2,3-dimethyl-2-butyl cation in stable solution in SbF5/SO2C1F was perturbed by deuterium and 13C leading to splittings observed by 13C NMR spectroscopy over a range of temperatures. Accurate values for equilibrium isotope effects were obtained from these data. Theoretical calculations of the equilibrium isotope effects were performed using the Gaussian-86 program to obtain an optimized geometry and the Cartesian force constant matrix, followed by the program QUIVER which applies the Bigeleisen-Mayer method. When all of the conformers, which are in rapid equilibrium, were considered specifically, quite good agreement between theory and experiment was obtained.

AbstractNear field optical second harmonic microscopy has been applied to imaging of the c/a/c/a polydomain structure of epitaxial PbZrxTi1−xO3 thin films in the 0<x<0.4 range. An uncoated adiabatically tapered fiber tip was employed in our microscope which, according to our previous research [5] could yeild a resolution of up to 80 nm. Experimentally measured nearfield second harmonic images have been compared with the results of theoretical calculations. Good agreement between theory and experiment has been demonstrated. Thus, novel optical technique for nanometer scale ferroelectric domain imaging has been developed.

The study of free oscillations of a homogeneous liquid under gravity in rotating rectangular basins of uniform depth is undertaken from both theoretical and experimental considerations.The theoretical study is in the framework of the quasistatic equations. It is also assumed that the curvature of the free surface can be ignored. Numerical computations for the frequencies and modal structures were carried out for several of the slowest antisymmetric and symmetric modes in a square basin and in a rectangular basin of two-to-one dimension ratio, without any restriction on the angular speed of rotation of the basin. These computations are in agreement with a numerical value obtained many years ago by Taylor, and also with several values found by Corkan & Doodson. They exhibit the typical frequency-splitting associated with certain multiplets in the zero-rotation spectrum. Further, the theoretical calculations indicate that the slopes of the curves of frequency versus speed of rotation change sign for some of the modes in rectangular geometry. Such behaviour is not present in circular basins. Negative modes are found to be ‘unstable’ in the sense of Corkan & Doodson; that is, they are transformed into positive modes for sufficiently high rotation. Calculations were also made for the slowest longitudinal oscillations in highly elongated basins to demonstrate the decreasing importance of rotation on the frequencies of these modes.Experimental work was carried out in a flat-bottomed square tank for the slowest positively and negatively propagating antisymmetric modes and the slowest positively propagating symmetric mode. Good agreement was found between theory and experiment.

A simple, efficient, and mild procedure for a solvent-free one-step synthesis of various 4,4′-diaminotriarylmethane derivatives in the presence of antimony trichloride as catalyst is described. Triarylmethane derivatives were prepared in good to excellent yields and characterized by elemental analysis, FTIR, 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopic techniques. The structural and vibrational analysis were investigated by performing theoretical calculations at the HF and DFT levels of theory by standard 6-31G*, 6-31G*/B3LYP, and B3LYP/cc-pVDZ methods and good agreement was obtained between experimental and theoretical results.

Timber-concrete composite beams are a new type of structural element that is environmentally friendly. The structural efficiency of this kind of beam highly depends on the stiffness of the interlayer connection. The structural efficiency of the composite was evaluated by experimental and theoretical investigations performed on the relative horizontal slip and vertical uplift along the interlayer between composite’s timber and concrete slab. Differential equations were established based on a theoretical analysis of combination effects of interlayer slip and vertical uplift, by using deformation theory of elastics. Subsequently, the differential equations were solved and the magnitude of uplift force at the interlayer was obtained. It was concluded that the theoretical calculations were in good agreement with the results of experimentation.

The 1H and 13C NMR spectra have been measured of six trans-azobenzenes substituted at 2 and 2’ positions with substituents favourable for complex formation with a metal (OH, NH2, NHCOCH3, COOH). From the standpoint of NMR such substituted trans-azobenzenes are present in solution in a rapid equilibrium following from rotation around the bond between C-1 of phenyl group and N atom of azo linkage. The predominant form has the substituent in the syn-position with respect to the free electron pair of the nearer azo nitrogen atom. The equilibrium is affected by dipolar aprotic solvents (such as hexadeuteriodimethyl sulfoxide) by decreasing the presence of the predominant form by 1 to 11%.

The 1Hmr study of the title compounds has revealed a screw conformation, with defined interconversion processes, in good agreement with crystal structure determinations and theoretical calculations. The mesomeric effect of the heteroatom is smaller than in the anisole series, due to steric inhibitions.The 13Cmr enhances, to some extent, these conclusions. In the case of Te compounds, a heavy atom effect adds to the classical mesomeric and inductive effects to account for the experimental observations.

The static 13C nmr powder pattern for solid ammonium thiocyanate is analyzed to obtain the 13C chemical shielding anisotropy, 321 ± 7 ppm, and the 13C–14N dipolar splitting, 1295 ± 25 Hz. Slow magic angle spinning 15N nmr experiments are analyzed to obtain a nitrogen chemical shielding anisotropy of 415 ± 15 ppm. The 13C–14N dipolar splitting leads to an effective C—N bond length of 1.19 ± 0.01 Å, in good agreement with the value of 1.176 Å reported from accurate X-ray and neutron crystallographic studies. In solid NH4NCS absolute values of the average shielding constants [Formula: see text] and ct[Formula: see text] are 52 and 34 ppm, respectively. Comparison of calculated and observed [Formula: see text] values indicates that intermolecular interactions decrease the 13C and 15N shielding constants by approximately 10 and 30 ppm, respectively.

Abstract This paper deals with a systematic development of theory of powder lubrication with the appropriate formalism based on the fundamentals of fluid mechanics. The theory is capable of predicting flow velocity, fluctuation (pseudo-temperature), powder volume fraction, and slip velocity at the boundaries. An extensive set of parametric simulations covering particle size, surface roughness, volumetric flow, load and speed are performed to gain insight into the performance of a powder lubricated thrust bearing. The results of simulations are compared to the published experimental results. Good agreement between the theory and experiment attests to the capability of the model and its potential for design of powder lubricated bearings.

Wrinkles widely existing in sheets and membranes have attracted a lot of attention in the fields of material science and engineering applications. In this paper, we present a new method to generate ordered (striplike) and steady wrinkles of a constrained dielectric elastomer (DE) sheet coated with soft electrodes on both sides subjected to high voltage. When the voltage reaches a certain value, wrinkles will nucleate and grow. We conduct both experimental and theoretical studies to investigate the wavelength and amplitude of the wrinkle. The results show a good agreement between theory and experiment. Moreover, the amplitude and wavelength of ordered wrinkles can be tuned by varying the prestretch and geometry of the DE sheet, as well as the applying voltage. This study can help future design of DE transducers such as diffraction grating and optical sensor.
