Kosmos 2457
Kosmos 2457 (Russian: Космос 2457 meaning Cosmos 2457) is one of a set of three Russian military satellites launched in 2009 as part of the GLONASS satellite navigation system. It was launched with Kosmos 2456 and Kosmos 2458.

This satellite is a GLONASS-M satellite, also known as Uragan-M, and is numbered Uragan-M No. 733.

Kosmos 2456/7/8 were launched from Site 81/24 at Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. A Proton-M carrier rocket with a Blok DM upper stage was used to perform the launch which took place at 10:38 UTC on 14 December 2009. The launch successfully placed the satellites into Medium Earth orbit. It subsequently received its Kosmos designation, and the international designator 2009-070B. The United States Space Command assigned it the Satellite Catalog Numbers 36112.

International Designator
The International Designator is an international identifier assigned to artificial objects in space.

Diethynylbenzene dianion
In organic chemistry, a diethynylbenzene dianion is an anion consisting of two ethynyl anions as substituents on a benzene ring. With the chemical formula C6H4C2−4, three positional isomers are possible, differing in the relative positions of the two substituents around the ring:

ortho-diethynylbenzene dianion

meta-diethynylbenzene dianion

para-diethynylbenzene dianion

The gaseous state of all three anions are of theoretical interest. They have been generated by decarboxylation of benzene dipropynoic acids, using the technique of mass spectrometry. The three isomers of the dianion are the three strongest known superbases ever, with the ortho isomer being the strongest, with a proton affinity of 1,843.987 kJ/mol (440.723 kcal/mol). The meta isomer is the second-strongest, and the para isomer is the third-strongest.
