THE ESTIMATION OF COSMIC RAY COMPONENT CONTRIBUTION INTO THE TOTAL β- AND γ-BACKGROUND OF ATMOSPHERE
Simulation results of characteristics of atmospheric γ- and β-radiation fields, which are produced by primary cosmic rays when overcoming an Earth’s atmospheres, with using Geant4 are presented. Estimates of γ- and β-radiation flux density with energies of 50 keV–3 MeV formed in ground atmosphere by cosmic radiation are 33 and 1.5 m-² s-¹, approximately, that is significantly lower than that formed by soil and atmospheric radionuclides. It was received that the contribution of cosmic component into the total γ- and β-background of the ground atmosphere at the heights of about 50 m from the land surface is only about 0.06 % and 1.14 %, respectively. The barometric effect within various ranges of energies of photons and electrons was also investigated in the work

Synthesis and Structure of the Bis- and Tris-Polyhedral Hybrid Carboranoclathrochelates with Functionalizing Biorelevant Substituents—The Derivatives of Propargylamine Iron(II) Clathrochelates with Terminal Triple C≡C Bond(s)
A synthetic strategy for obtaining structurally flexible hybrid iron(II) carboranoclatrochelates functionalized with biorelevant groups, based on a combination of a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction with nucleophilic substitution of an appropriate chloroclathrochelate precursor, was developed. In its first stage, a stepwise substitution of the dichloroclathrochelate precursor with amine N-nucleophiles of different natures in various solvents was performed. One of its two chlorine atoms with morpholine or diethylamine in dichloromethane gave reactive monohalogenoclathrochelate complexes functionalized with abiorelevant substituents. Further nucleophilic substitution of their remaining chlorine atoms with propargylamine in DMF led to morpholine- and diethylamine-functionalized monopropargylamine cage complexes, the molecules of which contain the single terminal C≡C bond. Their “click” 1,3-cycloaddition reactions in toluene with ortho-carborane-(1)-methylazide catalyzed by copper(II) acetate gave spacer-containing di- and tritopic iron(II) carboranoclatrochelates formed by a covalent linking between their different polyhedral(cage) fragments. The obtained complexes were characterized using elemental analysis, MALDI-TOF mass, UV-Vis, 1H, 1H{11B}, 11B, 11B{1H}, 19F{1H} and 13C{1H}-NMR spectra, and by a single crystal synchrotron X-ray diffraction experiment for the diethylamine-functionalized iron(II) carboranoclathrochelate. Its encapsulated iron(II) ion is situated almost in the center of the FeN6-coordination polyhedron possessing a geometry intermediate between a trigonal prism and a trigonal antiprism with a distortion angle φ of approximately 28°. Conformation of this hybrid molecule is strongly affected by its intramolecular dihydrogen bonding: a flexibility of the carborane-terminated ribbed substituent allowed the formation of numerous C–H…H–B intramolecular interactions. The H(C) atom of this carborane core also forms the intermolecular C–H…F–B interaction with an adjacent carboranoclathrochelate molecule. The N–H…N intermolecular interaction between the diethylamine group of one hybrid molecule and the heterocyclic five-membered 1H-[1,2,3]-triazolyl fragment of the second molecule of this type caused formation of H-bonded carboranoclathrochelate dimers in the X-rayed crystal
