GENERAL CHEMISTRY;
New general chemistry findings from Yerevan State University published

According to recent research published in the Russian Journal of
General Chemistry, "Chemical oxidative polymerization of
4-aminoazobenzene under the action of iodine was studied for the first
time. Samples of poly(4-aminoazobenzene) with different molecular mass
depending on the reaction conditions were obtained."

"Their structures were studied by means of the IR and H-1 NMR
spectroscopy and viscometry. The polymers obtained contain mainly
imino-1,4-phenylenazo-1,4-phenylene units," wrote A.A. Durgaryan and
colleagues, Yerevan State University (see also General Chemistry).

The researchers concluded: "Together with the polymers,
3-iodo-4-aminoazobenzene is also formed."

Durgaryan and colleagues published their study in Russian Journal of
General Chemistry (Oxidative polymerization of 4-aminoazobenzene under
the action of iodine. Russian Journal of General Chemistry,
2009;79(2):252-257).

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
