Infrared bands at 3.3, 6.2, 7.6, 7.8, 8.6, and 11.2 μm have been attributed to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and are observed toward a large number of galactic and extragalactic sources. Some interstellar PAHs possibly contain five-membered rings in their honeycomb carbon structure. The inclusion of such pentagon defects can occur during PAH formation, or as large PAHs are eroded by photo-dissociation to ultimately yield fullerenes. Pentagon formation is a process that is associated with the bowling of the PAH plane, that is, the ability to identify PAH pentagons in space holds the potential to directly link PAHs to cage and fullerene structures. It has been hypothesized that infrared (IR) activity around 1100 cm−1 may be a spectral marker for interstellar pentagons. We present an experimentally measured gas-phase IR absorption spectrum of the pentagon-containing rubicene cation (C26H14•+) to investigate if this band is present. The NASA Ames PAH IR Spectroscopic Database is scrutinized to see whether other rubicene-like species show IR activity in this wavelength range. We find that a specific molecular characteristic is responsible for this IR band. Namely, the vibrational motion attributed to this IR activity involves pentagon-containing harbors. An attempt to find this specific mode in Spitzer observations is undertaken and tentative detections around 9.3 μm are made toward the reflection nebula NGC 7023 and the H II-region IRAS 12063-6259. Simulated emission spectra are used to derive upper limits for the contributions of rubicene-like pentagonal PAH species to the IR band at 6.2 μm toward these sources.

Este trabalho objetiva analisar o espectro de emissão na região entre 5 e 15 μm do antraceno, uma espécie química de relevância astroquímica, obtido por modelagem computacional. E também comparar resultados obtidos com conjuntos de bases diferentes. A classe molecular escolhida possui características que permitem sua presença abundante em ambientes hostis do espaço, despertando interesse acerca de suas propriedades físico-químicas. A estrutura molecular foi desenhada na plataforma Gabedit e os cálculos da abordagem quântica realizados pelo software ORCA. Foram utilizadas duas funções de base, 6-31G* e 6-31G**, para comparação entre resultados. Para a análise dos métodos e inferências de semelhanças e diferenças, foi utilizado o NASA Ames PAH IR Spectroscopic Database (PAHdb), como banco de dados de referência. Os resultados obtidos apresentam um avermelhamento nas bandas vibracionais, mesmo utilizando a função de descrita pelos autores do PAHdb, expondo a direta relação entre complexidade e eficácia dos métodos comparados. Ainda assim, os resultados obtidos foram satisfatórios. Uma vez que as bandas de emissão desta molécula, em comparação com dados espectroscópicos, permitem inferir a presença da mesma em galáxias ativas, como Seyfert 1, Seyfert 2 e Starburst.

During manufacturing nuts of increased height, a problem of obtaining correct cylindrical form of the hole for thread and overall geometrical parameters arises. To solve the problem it is necessary to know regularity of the blank forming process. Results of the study of a technological process of high hexahedral nuts forming presented. The nuts were M18 of 22 mm height, M16 of 19 mm height and M12 of normal height 10 mm according to GOST 5915–70, accuracy class B, steel grade 10 according to GOST 10702–78. The volumetric stamping was accomplished at the five-position automatic presses of АА1822 type. It was determined, that unevenness of the metal flow in the process of plastic deformation of blanks of increased height nuts was caused by different stress conditions by their sections. To simulate the mode of deformation, the program complex QForm-3D was chosen. The complex ensured to forecast with necessary accuracy the metal flow in a blank, as well as to define the deformation force and arising stress in the working instrument. The simulation showed the presence of regularity between preliminary formed buffle and deviation of dimensions and form of a blank wall after its finishing piercing, which can be expressed by a nonlinear dependence. The limit values of the relative height of the buffle С/D = 0.56–0.588 defined, exceeding which will result in rejection of the finished product. Accounting the limit values of the relative height of the buffle will enable to correct a mode of technological operations and technological instruments at stamping of high hexahedral nuts.
