Electronic governance technologies in the system of providing administrative services

The practice of using the term “electronic governance” does not differentiate the concepts of the subject of management, that is, the three branches of government, with forms, processes and technologies of governance, which is not correct, since the use of information technology in state activities is not a top priority. On the other hand, electronic governance technologies cannot be considered separately from the automated governance processes as well as electronic governance technologies are not a supplement or an analogue of the traditional state, as intended to communicate by means of electronic governance technologies to increase the efficiency of the entire system of public administration, in particular in the system of administrative services

Chiral Polymers from Norbornenes Based on Renewable Chemical Feedstocks

Optically active polymers are of great interest as materials for dense enantioselective membranes, as well as chiral stationary phases for gas and liquid chromatography. Combining the versatility of norbornene chemistry and the advantages of chiral natural terpenes in one molecule will open up a facile route toward the synthesis of diverse optically active polymers. Herein, we prepared a set of new chiral monomers from cis-5-norbornene-2,3-dicarboxylic anhydride and chiral alcohols of various natures. Alcohols based on cyclic terpenes ((-)-menthol, (-)-borneol and pinanol), as well as commercially available alcohols (S-(-)-2-methylbutanol-1, S-(+)-3-octanol), were used. All the synthesized monomers were successfully involved in ring-opening metathesis polymerization, affording polymers in high yields (up to 96%) and with molecular weights in the range of 1.9 × 105–5.8 × 105 (Mw). The properties of the metathesis polymers obtained were studied by TGA and DSC analysis, WAXD, and circular dichroism spectroscopy. The polymers exhibited high thermal stability and good film-forming properties. Glass transition temperatures for the prepared polymers varied from −30 °C to +139 °C and, therefore, the state of the polymers changed from rubbery to glassy. The prepared polymers represent a new attractive platform of chiral polymeric materials for enantioselective membrane separation and chiral stationary phases for chromatography

Binuclear Nickel Complexes of a New Di(hydroxyphenyl)imidazolate

Here, we report a new di(hydroxyphenyl)imidazolate ligand with an N2O2 donor set synthesized by a modified Debus–Radziszewski procedure. Its binuclear nickel(II) complexes feature a weak antiferromagnetic interaction with J12 = −3.16 cm−1 between the two nickel(II) ions identified by magnetometry measurements. As follows from cyclic voltammetry experiments and DFT calculations, they undergo ligand-centered oxidation via the formation of cation radicals with short lifetimes that can be potentially stabilized by bulkier t-butyl groups in the ortho-positions of the ligand. The reported ligand widens the range of the building blocks available to molecular magnetism community and thus provides new ways to the design of magnetic materials with switchable properties
