INFLUENCE OF ORGANIC SOLVENTS ON WATER DISSOCIATION IN BIPOLAR MEMBRANE
Description
The article discusses results of experimental research of the influence of aprotic and proton solvents on reaction rate of water molecules dissociation in the bipolar membrane MB-1 by the method of electrochemical impedance frequency spectrum. It was discovered, that addition of organic component in aqueous solutions results in significant influence on the parameters of water dissociation in a bipolar region of the membrane. The reason for this influence is the reduction of the mass fraction of water in solution and, consequently, in a bipolar region of the membrane, which itself reduces the rate of the dissociation reaction. Another reason for the influence of the organic solvent is its effect on the network of hydrogen bonds existing in water and aqueous solutions. Depending on the nature of organic solvent and its concentration, the network of hydrogen bonds may be strengthened, or destroyed, thus facilitating removal of the proton involved in the reactions between water molecules and catalytic centers in cation-exchange and anion-exchange layer of bipolar membrane, or retarding removal of proton. This leads respectively to speed up or slow down the rate of dissociation in the bipolar region of the membrane, as well as changing the constants of the dissociation reaction of water. Introduction of organic solvent in solutions, which are in the contact with bipolar membrane, is a convenient method of investigating the role of solution composition on the rate of proton transfer between water molecules and catalytic centers in the membranes

INFLUENCE OF HEAVY METALS HYDROXIDES ON WATER DISSOCIATION IN BIPOLAR MEMBRANE
Description
The results of study of bipolar membrane – analogue of MB-2, modified with chemically introduced chromium (III), iron (III) and nickel (II) hydroxides by the method of frequency spectrum of electrochemical impedance, by infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy in combination with X-ray spectrum analysis are presented. It is shown, that sequential treatment of cation-exchanger, contained in cationexchange membrane, with metal salt solution and alkali solution does not result in formation of complex compounds of these metals with ionic groups of ion exchanger. It was found that in these conditions the presence of heavy metals in the phase of cationexchanger confirmed by X-ray analysis, however, crystals of hydroxides of heavy metals are not detected in the size range of 1000 nm to 20 nm. These heavy metal compounds are thermally unstable and their catalytic activity in the reaction of dissociation of water molecules decreases with increasing temperature during heat treatment. The introduction of low-soluble hydroxides of d-metals (chromium (III), iron (III), nickel(II)) by chemical method can significantly improve the electrochemical characteristics of a bipolar membrane. The most effective catalysts in water dissociation reaction are the hydroxides of chromium (III) and iron (III) and, as a consequence, membranes with these hydroxides have a lower value of overpotential compared with original membrane at the same current density

Description
A number of thermoreactive oligomers was obtained via the Michael interaction of molar excesses of hexamethylene-bis-maleimide with 5,5’-bisbenzotriazoles in melt. The structure of them was proved by the 13C spectroscopy method. The one-step synthesis in melt, without by-products evolution, in absence of organic solvents, additional reagents, and catalysts is the more acceptable in point of view of technology (a finished reaction product does not require any purification). The process itself is the nucleophile addition across double bond, and so it can be attributed to the atom-saving technologies. According to data of the dynamic scanning calorimetry (DSC) and the thermogravimetry (TG), oligomers fuse at 130.8–135.6 °С, cross-link at 185–250 °С, and begin their thermal destruction in air at temperatures of 400– 420 °С. The tensile strength at shear of the glued joints on base of oligomers (steel plates overlapped) is 14.2– 23.7 MPa (142–237 kgf/cm2 ). The positive effect from the introduce of 5,5’-bis-benzotriazolyl fragments into structure of bismaleimide thermoreactive oligomers on strength of the glued joints between metal plates was revealed

PROSPECTS OF USING INVASIVE LEGUMES IN HERBAL MEDICINE
Description
The authors propose to consider alien invasive species as new bioresources. These plants form powerful (usually single-species) thickets in the secondary range and their size are larger than at the native cenosis. The territory occupied by invasive species, especially in disturbed habitats, is quite high, so their possible yield is very high. The main problem of using alien species in the pharmacological purposes is the lack of information about the dynamics of the chemicals accumulation. Available data on the biochemistry in its natural habitat is inadaptable for the same taxon in the secondary range because of significant microevolutionary changes. In this work we present the results of phytochemical screening four legume species, formed invasive populations in the Middle Russia - Galega orientalis Lam., Lupinus polyphyllus Lindl., Robinia pseudoacacia L. & Caragana arborescens Lam. Information about these species as traditional medicine plants is given. Original data on the concentration phenolic compounds and biophile silicon in leaves and inflorescences are presented. Information on the fractional composition of the flavonoid complex is done. Taking into consideration the high adaptability of invasive species, the chemical analysis of the samples from different ecotypes was made. It is shown that accumulation of bioactive agents & biophile silicon isn’t depended on the environmental conditions. Concentrations of polyphenolic compounds were at the average level in comparison with medicinal plants. Thus, the combination of flavonoid complex with biophile silicon provides pharmacological significance of studied species, and justifies the needing the further study of invasive plant species in order to create new herbal medicines

INTRODUCTION OF RHODIOLA ROSEA L. IN THE CENTRAL YAKUTIA
Description
The flora of Yakutia is rich in medicinal plants. Many of these plants are not still studied totally. The species Rhodiola (Crassulaceae) is one of the most popular family which are widely used by the local population for therapeutic purposes. Medicals use the rhizome and roots of Rhodiola rosea as a source of medicinal raw materials. This means the removal and destruction of plants. The procurement should be carried out solely on the basis of plants grown in culture because of the rarity and few natural reserves of the species. R. rosea L. passes a full cycle of the sprouts, blossoming and bearing fruits during the introduction in the conditions of Central Yakutia. The weather conditions of the year influence on the rate of development and growth processes very strong. The experiments determination of the germination of local reproductions were negative. The sprouts grow very good. In this case, it is good possibility of intense vegetative reproduction of Rhodiola. The evaluation of stability of introduction may be attributed to the kind of group stability. The great potential and adaptive capacity of R. rosea significantly enhances the possibility of growing this species under conditions of the Central Yakutia. It is recommended to improve and elaborate of protection of natural populations and unique plant communities
