<i>N,N</i>-bis-(dimethylfluorosilylmethyl)amides of <i>N</i>-organosulfonylproline and sarcosine: synthesis, structure, stereodynamic behaviour and <i>in silico</i> studies
(O→Si)-Chelate difluorides R3R2NCH(R1)C(O)N(CH2SiMe2F)2 (9a–c, R1R2 = (CH2)3, R3 = Ms (a), Ts (b); R1 = H, R2 = Me, R3 = Ms (c)), containing one penta- and one tetracoordinate silicon atoms were synthesized by silylmethylation of amides R3R2NCH(R1)C(O)NH2, subsequent hydrolysis of unstable intermediates R3R2NCH(R1)C(O)N(CH2SiMe2Cl)2 (7a–c) into 4-acyl-2,6-disilamorpholines R3R2NCH(R1)C(O)N(CH2SiMe2O)2 (8a–c) and the reaction of the latter compounds with BF3·Et2O. The structures of disilamorpholines 8a,c and difluoride 9a were confirmed by an X-ray diffraction study. According to the IR and NMR data, the O→Si coordination in solutions of these compounds was weaker than that in the solid state due to effective solvation of the Si–F bond. A permutational isomerisation involving an exchange of equatorial Me groups at the pentacoordinate Si atom in complexes 9a–c was detected, and its activational parameters were determined by 1H DNMR. In silico estimation of possible pharmacological effects and acute rat toxicity by PASS Online and GUSAR Online services showed a potential for their further pharmacological study

Aryl oligogermanes as ligands for transition metal complexes
The ligand properties of a series of aryl oligogermanes R3Ge‐GeAr3, 3‐7 (Me3Ge‐GePh3 (3), Me3Ge‐Ge(pTol)3 (4), Ph3Ge‐GePh3 (5), (C6F5)3Ge‐GePh3 (6), Ph3Ge‐GeMe2GePh3 (7)), for the synthesis of transition metal carbonyl complexes such as R3Ge‐GeAr2(R’C6H4‐η6)M(CO)3 (M = Cr, 3a‐7a; M = Mo, 3b; M = W, 3c) were investigated. The target complexes were obtained in moderate yields using several different synthetic approaches. The physicochemical properties of these new derivatives were investigated by IR, UV/vis, NMR spectroscopy, electrochemistry and DFT calculations. The molecular structures of 3c, 4a and 5a were studied by single crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis. A comparative analysis of donor‐ and acceptor properties of aryl oligogermanes as ligands for transition metal carbonyl complexes is reported
Polymerization of the new double-charged monomer bis-1,3(N,N,N trimethylammonium dicyanamide)-2-propylmethacrylate and ionic conductivity of the novel polyelectrolytes
The achievement of high ionic conductivity in single-ion conducting polymer electrolytes is one of the important aims for various electrochemical devices including modern lithium batteries. One way to enhance the ionic conductivity in polyelectrolyte systems is to increase the quantity of charge carriers in each monomer unit. Highly charged poly(bis-1,3(N,N,N-trimethylammonium)-2-propylmethacrylate) with one of the most conducting anions, namely dicyanamide, was prepared via free radical bulk polymerization or using ionic liquids as reaction medium. The cationic polymers of the double-charged monomer have molar masses up to equation image = 1,830,000 g/mol and the ionic conductivity equal to 5.51 × 10−5 S/cm at 25°C. The film forming ability, crystallinity, thermal stability, and glass transition temperatures of the new polymeric ionic liquids obtained from detailed studies are presente
Mathematical model of stacked one-sided arrangement of the burners
Paper is aimed at computer simulation of the turbulent methane-air combustion in upgraded U-shaped boiler unit. To reduce the temperature in the flame and hence NOx release every burner output was reduced, but the number of the burners was increased. The subject of studying: complex of characteristics with space-time fields in the upgraded steam boiler E-370 with natural circulation. The flare structure, temperature and concentrations were determined computationally

Reaction of Picolinamides with Ketones Producing a New Type of Heterocyclic Salts with an Imidazolidin-4-One Ring
Reactions of picolinamides with 1,3-propanesultone in methanol followed by the treatment with ketones led to a series of previously unknown chemical transformations, yielding first pyridinium salts (2a–f), with a protonated endocyclic nitrogen atom, and then heterocyclic salts (3a–j) containing an imidazolidin-4-one ring. The structures of intermediate and final products were determined by IR and 1H, 13C NMR spectroscopy, and X-ray study. The effects of the ketone and alcohol structures on the product yield were studied by quantum-chemical calculations. The stability of salts 3a–j towards hydrolysis and alcoholysis makes them excellent candidates for the search for new types of biologically active compounds
Various Approaches to Studying the Phase Transition in an Octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane Crystal: From X-ray Structural Analysis to Metadynamics
The structure, thermodynamic parameters, and the character of thermal motion in octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane (D4) were investigated using the combination of experimental (single-crystal X-ray diffraction, thermochemistry) and theoretical (density functional theory calculations, ab initio molecular dynamics and metadynamics) methods. Single crystals of D4 were grown in a glass capillary in situ and the structures of high- (238–270 K) and low-temperature (100–230 K) phases were studied in detail. In the temperature interval 230–238 K, a phase transition with rather low enthalpy (−1.04(7) kcal/mol) was detected. It was found that phase transition is accompanied by change of conformation of cyclosiloxane moiety from boat-saddle (cradle) to chair. According to PBE0/6-311G(d,p) calculation of isolated D4, such conformation changes are characterized by a low barrier (0.07 kcal/mol). The character of molecular thermal motion and the path of phase transition were established with combination of periodic DFT calculations, including molecular dynamics and metadynamics. The effect of crystal field led to an increase in the calculated phase transition barrier (4.27 kcal/mol from low- to high-temperature phase and 3.20 kcal/mol in opposite direction)
Novel Polymorph of Favipiravir—An Antiviral Medication
Various solid forms of pharmaceutically important compounds exhibit different physical properties and bioactivity; thus, knowledge of the structural landscape and prediction of spontaneous polymorph transformations for an active pharmaceutical ingredient is of practical value for the pharmaceutical industry. By recrystallization from ethyl acetate, a novel polymorph of 6-fluoro-3-hydroxypyrazine-2-carboxamide (trademark favipiravir, RNA polymerase inhibitor) was obtained and characterized using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), infra-red spectroscopy and powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. The favipiravir molecule in two polymorphs realizes similar H-bonding motifs, but the overall H-bonded networks differ. Based on periodic density functional theory calculations, the novel tetragonal polymorph with two interpenetrated H-bonded networks is slightly less stable than the orthorhombic one with the zst topology of the underlying H-bonded net that is in accord with experimentally observed powder XRD patterns of slow conversion of the tetragonal phase to the orthorhombic one. However, topological analysis of net relations revealed that no transformations can be applied to convert H-bonded networks in the experimental unit cells, and DSC data indicate no solid-state reactions at heating

Molecular Structures Polymorphism the Role of F…F Interactions in Crystal Packing of Fluorinated Tosylates
The peculiarities of interatomic interactions formed by fluorine atoms were studied in four tosylate derivatives p-CH3C6H4OSO2CH2CF2CF3 and p-CH3C6H4OSO2CH2(CF2)nCHF2 (n = 1, 5, 7) using X-ray diffraction and quantum chemical calculations. Compounds p-CH3C6H4OSO2CH2(CF2)nCHF2 (n = 1, 5) were crystallized in several polymorph modifications. Analysis of intermolecular bonding was carried out using QTAIM approach and energy partitioning. All compounds are characterized by crystal packing of similar type and the contribution of intermolecular interactions formed by fluorine atoms to lattice energy is raised along with the increase of their amount. The energy of intra- and intermolecular F…F interactions is varied in range 0.5−13.0 kJ/mol. Total contribution of F…F interactions to lattice energy does not exceed 40%. Crystal structures of studied compounds are stabilized mainly by C-H…O and C-H…F weak hydrogen bonds. The analysis of intermolecular interactions and lattice energies in polymorphs of p-CH3C6H4OSO2CH2(CF2)nCHF2 (n = 1, 5) has shown that most stabilized are characterized by the least contribution of F…F interactions
