The Electronic Structure of Pentaprismane (C10H10), as Revealed by its Photoelectron Spectrum

The photoelectron (PE.) spectrum of the title compound has been assigned by comparison with the PE. spectrum of cubane ( 2 ), aided by ab initio STO-3G calculations using localized molecular orbitals. On the basis of the information available to date, the most satisfactory orbital sequence, Koopmans theorem implied, is, in descending order of energy: band system : (2e″₂, 3e′₂ 2e″₁, 3e′₁); band system : 3a′₁ (2e′₂, 2a″₂); band : 2e′₁.(Sequence of orbitals in parenthesis uncertain).     

Fluorierung von Dioxa- und Oxazaphospholanen

Fluorination of Dioxa- and Oxazaphospholanes The fluoridolysis of cyclic esters and esteramides of phosphorous acid ( 1 , 2 , 4 , 5 , 7 , 11 , and 12 ,) using the acid fluorination reagent Et₃N · nHF (n > 1) or an excess of a basic composed agent (n < 1) yields in all cases HPF₅^? ( 3 ,). With stoichiometric amounts of fluoride, however, the fluorophospholanes ( 4 ,) and ( 5 ,) as well as fac.- and mer.-o- ( 6a, 6b ,) and the spirocyclic fluorohydridophosphate ( 8 ,) are obtained. ( 13 ,) reacts to ( 14 ,) and the spirocyclic compound ( 15 ,) gives ( 16 ,). The fluorophosphoranes ( 18 ,), ( 19 ,), and ( 21 ,) are obtained by oxidative fluorination of the spiro- or bicyclic P? H compounds 11, 12 , and 20 , with CCl₄/Et₃N · nHF (n < 1). The oxidative fluorination of the cyclic triesters of phosphorous acid 7 , and 23 , leads to the cyclic fluorophosphates ( 22 ,) and 16 , as well as 6. , The compounds 18, 19 , and 22 , are also formed by oxidative fluorination of elemental phosphorus, P₄, in the presence of the corresponding bifunctional nucleophile.     

13C NMR spectra of 2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrrolo[1,2-c]imidazol-1,3-dione and its thione analogues

Analysis of the ¹³C NMR spectra of a series of 2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrrolo[1,2-c]imidazole derivatives has provided chemical shift data for (?184 ppm), (?173.5 ppm), (?158 ppm) and (?148 ppm) groups. A full analysis of the ¹³C chemical shifts of the C atoms of the pyrrole ring and of an N-phenyl substituent is described.     

Integral–geometrical consideration of density matrices

The ensemble N-representability problem for the k-th order reduced density matrix (k-RDM ) as well as the problem of reconstruction of the N-particle system density matrices (N-DM ) from a given k-RDM are studied. The spatial parts of the k-RDM expansion in terms of spin tensorial operators Θ are represented using particular values (at specially chosen ) of the Radon transform of the N-DM spatial parts (or their sums) ??_Nλ(x′ | x″) (here, is a d-plane in the n-space ?ⁿ of x = (x′, x″)), with n = 6N, d = 3 (N ? k), x′ ≡ (r′₁, ?, r′_N), x′ ≡ (r₁″, ?, r″_N ()). In this way, the problem is reduced to investigation of the properties of the functions . For a normalizable N – DM , it is proved that are bounded functions. The properties of implied by the N-DM permutational symmetry, Hermiticity, and positive definiteness are found. A formal procedure of reconstruction of all N-DM corresponding to a given k-RDM is proposed. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

The Radicals and Radical Dianions of Bridged [11]- and [15]Annulenyls as Compared with Those of Benzotropyl and 2,3-Naphthotropyl

The 1,6-methano[11]annulenyl ( 1 ·), 1,6:8, 14-propane-1,3-diylidene[15]annulenyl ( 2 ·), benzotropyl ( 3 ·) and 2,3-naphthotropyl ( 4 ·) radicals have been characterized by their ESR. spectra. The corresponding radical dianions, , , and , have also been studied both by ESR. and ENDOR. spectroscopy. Assignment of the coupling constants a_Hμ to protons in the individual positions μ of these radicals and radical dianions is to a large extent based on investigations of specifically deuteriated derivatives. The radicals 1· , 2· , 3· and 4· exist in temperature-dependent equilibria with ( 1 )₂, ( 2 )₂, ( 3 )₂ and ( 4 )₂, respectively, where ( 1 )₂ to ( 4 )₂ denote mixtures of dimers of 1 · to 4 ·. The dissociation enthalpies, ΔH°, of ( 1 )₂ (102 kJ/mol) and ( 2 )₂ (88 kJ/mol) are considerably smaller than those of ( 3 )₂ and ( 4 )₂ which do not significantly differ from the ΔH° value of bitropyl (139 ± 6 kJ/mol). This finding indicates that the gain in π-electron delocalization energies, Δ(DE)_π, upon dissociation markedly increases on going from bitropyl, ( 3 )₂ and ( 4 )₂ to ( 1 )₂ and ( 2 )₂, and thus points to an additional ‘resonance stabilization’ of 1 · and 2 ·, as compared with 3 · and 4 ·. A more pronounced π-spin localization on the 7-membered ring is observed in 3 ·, 4 ·, and relative to the corresponding species, 1 ·, 2 ·, and . It can be interpreted in terms of simple π-perimeter models without explicitly invoking substantial homoconjugative interactions between the bridged centres in 1 ·, 2 ·, and . However, the shortcomings of these crude models do not allow one to make a clear-cut statement about the contributions of the homotropyl structures to the π-systems of these paramagnetic species. The radical dianions and exhibit considerable hyperfine splittings from one ²³Na or ³⁹K nucleus of the counter-ion, whereas for and such splittings stem from two equivalent alkali metal nuclei. This finding is readily rationalized by different geometries of the bridged annulenyls and their benzo- and naphthotropyl analogues. Hyperfine data are also given for the radical anions of 7 H-benzocycloheptene, ( 3-H )\documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$2^{\ominus \atop \dot{}}$\end{document}, and 6 H-(2,3-naphtho)cycloheptene, ( 4-H )\documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$2^{\ominus \atop \dot{}}$\end{document}, as well as for the radical dianion of 1,6:8,14-bismethano[15]annulenyl, 5 \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$2^{\ominus \atop \dot{}}$\end{document}.     

Über den Dissoziationszustand von geschmolzenem Natriumdiwolframat (Na2W2O7)

Kordes and Nolte are of the opinion that, on melting, Na₂W₂O₇ dissociates according to the reaction whereas Gelsing et al. assume a dissociation into Na⁺ ions and a mixture of chains of WO₄ tetrahedra (WO, W₂O, W₃O, etc.). In the present paper it is demonstrated that a dissociation according to the ideas of Gelsing et al. can excellently explain the cryometric results found by Kordes and Nolte themselves. The dissociation scheme proposed by Gelsing et al., is even more likely than that proposed by Kordes and Nolte when the results of surface tension measurements reported by Gossink and Stevels are taken into account.     

Hexakis­(antipyrine‐O)­terbium(III) triperchlorate

In the title compound, hexakis(1,2‐di­hydro‐1,5‐di­methyl‐2‐phenyl‐3H‐pyrazol‐3‐one‐O)­terbium(III) triperchlorate, [Tb(C₁₁H₁₂N₂O)₆](ClO₄)₃, the Tb atom lies on a site of crystallographic symmetry and the unique Tb—O distance is 2.278 (2) Å. One of the perchlorate anions has threefold crystallographic symmetry, while the other is disordered about a site.     

Additive effect of polyacrylamide on the anionic polymerization of acrolein

The anionic polymerizations of acrolein (AL) in the presence of polyacrylamide (poly-AAm) induced by imidazole (Im), pyridine (Py)–water, and sodium hydorxide as the anionic initiator were carried out kinetically in an ethanol-water mixture at 0°C. The rate of polymerization R_p in the presence of poly-AAm increased markedly in the Im and Py-water systems, whereas the polymerizability of AL is little changed in the potassium persulfate and silver nitrate (redox systems). These results suggest and the interaction between the amide groups in poly-AAm, the initiator, and the AL monomer is intramolecular. It also indicates the presence of interaction between the carbonyl group of the amide compound and the group of Im. On the other hand, the chemical shifts of the proton of Im in the presence of several amide compounds such as acetamide, propionamide, and N,N-dimethylacetamide were observed in CDCl₃ by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. These results were discussed by assuming a conformational change in poly-AAm in the ethanol–water mixture.     

The method of asymptotic approximations as applied to analyzing the mechanism of inhibited liquid-phase oxidation

A new method for analyzing the problems of chemical kinetics is elaborated involving the technique of mathematical modeling. Namely, the matching method of the asymptotic expansion is applied to analyzing the inhibition mechanism of oxidation. The proposed approach is an extension of the well-known method of quasi-stationary concentrations and may be applied to study a series of problems in the field of chemical kinetics. Three different time scales were established for the mechanism of inhibited oxidation under restrictions k₇[InH]₀/(2k₆W_i)^1/2 ? 1 and k₈ ? 2k₆ ? k₇. At the first time scale (that is very fast and is measured in second fractions) the concentration of radicals In only changes while [RO₂] ? [RO₂]₀, [In H] ? [In H]₀ are constants. At the second time scale (s), [RO₂] changes while [In] ? [In]_st, [In H] ? [In H]₀ are constants. At the third time scale (min), [In H] changes. An asymptotic analysis of the differential equations allows us to find out both the time duration of each step and the variation of the component which changes at this step. After that the rate constants k₈, 2k₆, k₇ are determined from comparison with the experimental measurements of [In], [RO₂], and [In H]. Due to the simplicity and efficiency of the asymptotic method, one may be applied to treating the complex multicenter radical chain processes such as conjugated oxidation, radical copolymerization, sulfoxidation, etc. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Photoelectrochemistry with Colloidal Semiconductors; Laser Studies of Halide Oxidation in Colloidal Dispersions of TiO2 and α-Fe2O3

Aqueous sols of TiO₂ (anatase, particle radius 25 Å) were excited with (347.1 nm)-laser light and the reaction of valence-band holes with halide ions (X = I^?, Br^?, Cl^?) was investigated. Hole transfer takes place within the duration of the (10 ns)-laser pulse and results in the formation of anion radicals according to the sequence: The quantum yield of X increases in the order Cl < Br < I, attaining 0.8 for I at pH 1. It is affected by pH, halide concentration and the presence of a protective agent for the sol. RuO₂ deposited onto TiO₂ enhances markedly Cl and Br -formation, but has no effect on the yield of I. Laser-photolysis investigation of halide oxidation were also carried out with colloidal Fe₂O₃ (particle radius 600 Å). For I_2?formation, the quantum yield exceeds 0.9 indicating almost quantitative hole scavenging by iodide.     

Kinetics of solvolysis of 1-acetyl-4-(1-ethoxycarbonyl-1-cyano) methylene-1,4-dihydroquinoline in undried DMSO-d6· formation of Acetic Anhydride as an intermediate

The kinetics of solvolysis of the title compound (QAc) in undried DMSO-d₆ to give 4-(1-ethoxycarbonyl-1-cyano)methylquinoline (QH) and HOAc at ambient temperature were investigated by ¹H nmr spectrometry. With a limited excess of water the solvolysis follows a three-step process of $ {\rm QAc} + {\rm H}_2 {\rm O}\mathop \to \limits^{k_1} {\rm QH} + {\rm HOAc}, $ , and $ {\rm Ac}_{\rm 2} {\rm O} + {\rm H}_2 {\rm O}\mathop \to \limits^{k_3} {\rm 2\,HOAc}, $ where k₂ > k₁ and k₃ < k₁. Addition of pyridine-d₅ to the reaction mixture markedly catalyzes the overall solvolysis, while addition of CF₃CO₂D to the reaction mixture simplifies the kinetics to pseudo first-order in [QAc] with k = 4.3 × 10^?3 min^?1.     

The gas phase ion chemistry of the acetyl cation and isomeric [C2H3O]+ ions. On the structure of the [C2H3O]+ daughter ions generated from the enol of acetone radical cation

Methods are described for the unequivocal identification of the acetyl, [CH₃? \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ \mathop {\rm C}\limits^{\rm + } $\end{document} ?O] (a), 1-hydroxyvinyl, [CH₂?\documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ \mathop {\rm C}\limits^{\rm + } $\end{document}? OH] (b), and oxiranyl, (d), cations. They involve the careful examination of metastable peak intensities and shapes and collision induced processes at very low, high and intermediate collision gas pressures. It will be shown that each [C₂H₃O]⁺ ion produces a unique metastable peak for the fragmentation [C₂H₃O]⁺ → [CH₃]⁺+CO, each appropriately relating to different [C₂H₃O]⁺ structures. [CH₃? \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ \mathop {\rm C}\limits^{\rm + } $\end{document}?O] ions do not interconvert with any of the other [C₂H₃O]⁺ ions prior to loss of CO, but deuterium and ¹³C labelling experiments established that [CH₂?\documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ \mathop {\rm C}\limits^{\rm + } $\end{document}? OH] (b) rearranges via a 1,2-H shift into energy-rich leading to the loss of positional identity of the carbon atoms in ions (b). Fragmentation of b to [CH₃]⁺+CO has a high activation energy, c. 400 kJ mol^?1. On the other hand, , generated at its threshold from a suitable precursor molecule, does not rearrange into [CH₂?\documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ \mathop {\rm C}\limits^{\rm + } $\end{document}? OH], but undergoes a slow isomerization into [CH₃? \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ \mathop {\rm C}\limits^{\rm + } $\end{document}?O] via [CH₂\documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ \mathop {\rm C}\limits^{\rm + } $\end{document}HO]. Interpretation of results rests in part upon recent ab initio calculations. The methods described in this paper permit the identification of reactions that have hitherto lain unsuspected: for example, many of the ionized molecules of type CH₃COR examined in this work produce [CH₂?\documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ \mathop {\rm C}\limits^{\rm + } $\end{document}? OH] ions in addition to [CH₃? \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ \mathop {\rm C}\limits^{\rm + } $\end{document}?O] showing that some enolization takes place prior to fragmentation. Furthermore, ionized ethanol generates a, b and d ions. We have also applied the methods for identification of daughter ions in systems of current interest. The loss of OH^˙ from [CH₃COOD]^+˙ generates only [CH₂?\documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ \mathop {\rm C}\limits^{\rm + } $\end{document}? OD]. Elimination of CH₃^˙ from the enol of acetone radical cation most probably generates only [CH₃? \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ \mathop {\rm C}\limits^{\rm + } $\end{document}?O] ions, confirming the earlier proposal for non-ergodic behaviour of this system. We stress, however, that until all stable isomeric species (such as [CH₃? \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ \mathop {\rm O}\limits^{\rm + } $\end{document}?C:]) have been experimentally identified, the hypothesis of incompletely randomized energy should be used with reserve.     

Darstellung,Kristallstruktur und spektroskopische Eigenschaften der Clusteranionen [(Mo6Br)X]2− mit Xa = F,Cl, Br,I

Synthesis, Crystal Structure and Spectroscopic Properties of the Cluster Anions [(Mo₆Br )X ]^2? with X^a = F, Cl, Br, I The tetrabutylammonium (TBA), tetraphenylphosphonium (TPP) and tetraphenylarsonium (TPAs) salts of the octa-μ₃-bromo-hexahalogeno-octahedro-hexamolybdate(2?) anions [(Mo₆Br)X]^2? (X^a = F, Cl, Br, I) are synthesized from solutions of the free acids H₂[(Mo₆Br)X] · 8 H₂O with X^a = Cl, Br, I. The crystal structures show systematic stretchings in the Mo? Mo bond length and a slight compression of the Brⁱ₈ cube in the F^a to I^a series. The cations do not change much. The i.r. and Raman spectra show at 10 K almost constant frequencies of the (Mo₆Brⁱ₈) cluster vibrations, whereas all modes with X^a ligand contribution are characteristically shifted. The most important bands are assigned by polarization measurements and the force constants are derived from normal coordinate analysis. The ⁹⁵Mo nmr signals are shifted to lower field with increasing electronegativity of the X^a ligands. The fluorine compound shows a sharp ¹⁹F nmr singlet at ?184.5 ppm.     

The complexing of polymetaphosphate anions with calcium cations: A potentiometric (pCa) study

Calcium cation complexing by polymetaphosphate anions was studied by direct potentiometric measurements with a calcium-ion-sensitive electrode. The moderately stable neutral chelate (Ca₂P₄O)_n is formed in (CaP₂O₆)_n solutions according to the equilibria logK₁₂ values for complexing with polyanions of M_av ? 1200 and 2500 (at C = 0.0003_M) were 5.86 and 6.26, respectively; the K₁₂ values then decreased with increasing polyanion concentration and were reduced by addition of equivalent sodium chloride. The very stable chelate anion (CaP₄O)_n is then formed in (Na₂CaP₄O₁₂)_n solutions according to the equilibrium logK₁₄ values for complexing with polyanions of M_av ? 1200 and 2500 (at C = 0.0003_M) were 7.48 and 8.08, respectively; these K₁₄ values also decreased with polyanion concentration. A less stable complex anion (CaP₆O)_n is formed in more concentrated solutions at PO₃/Ca ratios > 6.     

pHh-dependent permselectivity of the fibrinogen-modified carbon paste electrode

The modification of carbon paste matrices with fibrinogen is reported. The effect of the pH of the solution on the CV peak currents of positively or negatively charged redox analytes was examined at the fibrinogen-modified carbon paste electrode. In the presence of the coating, pH-dependent selectivity in electrochemical detection of charged species was demonstrated depending on the sign of the supported charge. Above the isoelectric pH attributed to the immobilized protein (5.5), the current response of anionic redox probes [Fe(CN)/Fe(CN)] was impeded while the response was almost totally restored below this pH. Opposite trends were observed with the Ru(NH₃)/Ru(NH₃) cationic redox analytes.     

Structures and relative energies of gas phase [C3H7O]+ ions

Ab initio molecular orbital calculations have been carried out for 17 possible isomeric [C₃H₇O]⁺ structures. Optimized geometries have been obtained with a split-valence basis set and improved relative energies determined with polarization basis sets and with incorporation of electron correlation. The results agree well with available experimental data. In particular, (CH₃)₂COH⁺, CH₃CH₂CHOH⁺, CH₃CHOCH₃⁺, CH₃CH₂OCH₂⁺, and have been confirmed as low-energy isomers. Six additional structures appear to be energetically accessible and to offer a reasonable prospect for experimental observation. These are CH₂CHCH₂OH₂⁺, CH₂C(CH₃)OH₂⁺, CH₃CHCHOH₂⁺, CH₂CHOHCH₃⁺, and .

Perfluorovinyl Morpholine and Perfluorovinyl Pyrrolidine with Nucleophiles and Electrophiles

In this study, both monofunctional and bifunctional nucleophiles, as well as the electrophile FNO, are reacted with perfluorovinyl amines. The perfluorovinyl amines CF?CF₂ and CF?CF₂ have been reacted with dimethylamine and diethylamine in the presence of small amounts of water to give CHFC(O)N(CH₃)₂ ( 1 ), CHFC(O)N(CH₃)₂ ( 2 ), and CHFC(O)N(C₂H₅)₂ ( 3 ). With perfluorovinyl pyrrolidine and perfluorovinyl morpholine, ethanolamine gives the cyclized products CHF ( 4 ) and CHF ( 5 ), respectively. Reaction of the vinyl amines with (CH₃)₃SiOCH₂CF₃ in the presence of catalytic amounts of CsF results in the formation of cis- ( 6 ) and trans- ( 7 ) CF?CF(OCH₂CF₃) and cis- ( 8 ) and trans- ( 9 ) CF?CF(OCH₂CF₃). The electrophile FNO reacts slowly with perfluorovinyl pyrrolidine and perfluorovinyl morpholine, and more rapidly with (CF₃)₃CCF?CF₂ to give CF(NO)CF₃ ( 10 ), CF(NO)CF₃ ( 11 ) and (CF₃)₃CF(NO)CF₃ ( 12 ), respectively. Single crystal X-ray analysis is used to confirm the identity of the product obtained from the controlled hydrolysis of the sultone of perfluorovinyl pyrrolidine as the sulfonic acid anhydride C(O)CF₂OS(O)₂OCF₂C(O) ( 13 ). The X-ray crystal structure of perfluorosuccinic acid monohydrate ( 14 ), which is obtained when the perfluorovinyl pyrrolidine sultone is hydrolyzed in excess water, is also reported for the first time.
