Poetics of Book “Journey of Russian Imperial Sloop “Diana” from Kronstadt to Kamchatka ...” by V. M. Golovnin: Features of Documentary and Fiction Prose

Observations are presented on the features of the documentary and artistic organization of the book by V. M. Golovnin “Journey of Russian Imperial Sloop “Diana” from Kronstadt to Kamchatka...” (1819). Such issues as the thematic content of “Journey...”, the role of the author’s worldview in creating a single artistic whole, and the features of the aesthetic organization of documentary material are considered. The significance of the study is seen in the need to update the memory of the personality and literary work of V. M. Golovnin, an outstanding figure of Russian culture at the beginning of the 19th century. The presented material will allow supplementing with new facts the picture of the genre and style genesis of documentary and artistic genres in the Russian historical and literary process of the early 19th century. The relevance of the study is determined by the attention of modern literary criticism to the poetics of documentary and artistic genres. The novelty of the research is seen in the appeal to a little-known work of Russian literature of the first third of the 19th century. It is reported that the author showed the maritime way of life with its regulations, traditions, experience of intercultural communication. The work is considered in the main thematic lines: everyday life of a round-the-world sea expedition, seascape, battle studies, ethnographic sketches. It is noted that a value-semantic principle is revealed behind the empirical material, which gives the narrative artistic completeness and deeply brings Golovnin's “Journey ...” with the tradition of Russian classical literature

Polarity and conformational analysis of secondary phosphine selenides

The polarities of bis(2-phenylethyl) and bis(2-phenylpropyl) phosphine selenides were determined and conformational analysis of these phosphine selenides was carried out by the method of dipole moments, IR spectroscopy, and quantum chemical calculations. They exist as an equilibrium of several conformers, and the preferred conformers have gauche orientation of the P = Se and Csp3 - Csp3 bonds. © 2013 Copyright Taylor and Francis Group, LLC

Conformational Analysis of Tris(3-methylphenyl)phosphine and Its Chalcogenides

© 2018, Pleiades Publishing, Ltd. Conformational analysis of tris(3-methylphenyl)phosphine and its chalcogenides has been performed by methods of dipole moments, IR spectroscopy, and quantum chemistry [DFT B3PW91/6-31G(df,p)]. In solution, these compounds exist as an equilibrium of conformers with gauche- and cis-arrangement of the substituents at the phosphorus atom relative to the P=X bond (X = lone electron pair, O, S, Se)

Experimental and theoretical conformation analysis of eight-membered silocines with planar fragments

The dipole moments of 6-thia-4,5: 6,7-dibenzo-1,3,2-dioxasilocines were determined experimentally and calculated at the DFT B3LYP/6-31G*level of theory and by the additivity scheme. The experimental and theoretical (DFT B3LYP/6-31G*) conformation analysis of eight-membered 1,3,2-dioxasilocines having planar fragments showed that these compounds in solution exist as boat-chair, boat-boat, or twist-boat conformers, depending on the presence of unsaturated planar fragment, nature of the heteroatom in position 6 of the eight-membered ring, and substituents on the silicon atom. © 2010 Pleiades Publishing, Ltd

Polarity and structure of eight-membered organosilicon compounds with planar fragments

For the first time is determined the polarity of eight-membered silocyns with planar fragments. By the methods of dipole moments and theoretical calculations (DFT B3LYP/6-31G*) of 1,3,2-dioxasilocyns is established that in these compounds occurs the conformational equilibrium of the forms bath-chair and distorted bath with the predominance of the first, in this case the bonds C(sp 3)-S and C(sp 3)-H of the exocyclic MeSCH2 group are in the not eclipsed gauche orientation relative to each other. © 2009 Pleiades Publishing, Ltd

Dipole moments, structure, and transannular interactions in silatranes containing planar fragments

The method of dipole moments and theoretical calculations (DFT B3LYP/6-31G*) were used for structural assessment of silatranes N[CH2(RMeC6H2)O]3SiR1 containing planar fragments in the six-membered semirings. They are endo structures with transannular N→Si interaction which involves, along with nitrogen and silicon, oxygen atoms adjacent to silicon. © 2008 MAIK Nauka
