Twenty six complexes with a F···HF hydrogen bond have been theoretically considered. Correlation relationships between the bond energy and IR and NMR parameters—the frequency shift Δν of the ν(HF) stretching vibration and the change in the proton chemical shift Δδ¹Н caused by complexation—have been constructed. In the entire range of existence (energy 1–200 kJ/mol), the plots obey the power law for the optical spectrum and the linear law for the NMR spectrum.

It has been demonstrated that the application of the frontier orbital method to the quantum-chemical analysis of possible variants of electron transfer in electrochemical systems makes it possible to sharply narrow the search for the transition state and to reduce computational burden by several orders of magnitude. The high informativity of the method allows us to recommend it as a tool for verifying any hypotheses about the mechanism of charge transfer in electrochemical systems.

An experimental prototype of an engine of a new type for water transport—pulse detonation hydroramjet—was designed, built, and tested for the first time. Firing test of the prototype with a 2-L combustor was performed on a specially designed test stand with a thrust-measuring frame capable of producing an approach water stream in the form of a submerged jet with a velocity up to 10 m/s. The specific impulse was experimentally measured, ranging from 370 s at high operation frequency (20 Hz) to 1200 s at low operation frequency (1 Hz); i.e., the measured specific impulse of the pulse detonation hydroramjet exceeded that of the best modern liquid rocket engines.
