Recombination of KrD and XeD ions with electrons

Recombination rate coefficients of protonated and deuterated ions KrH⁺, KrD⁺, XeH⁺ and XeD⁺ were measured using Flowing Afterglow with Langmuir Probe (FALP). Helium at 1600 Pa and at temperature 250 K was used as a buffer gas in the experiments. Kr, Xe, H₂ and D₂ were introduced to a flow tube to form the desired ions. Because of small differences in proton affinities of Kr, D₂ and H₂ mixtures of ions, KrD⁺/D₃⁺ and KrH⁺/H₃⁺ are formed in the afterglow plasma, influencing the plasma decay. To obtain a recombination rate coefficient for a particular ion, the dependencies on partial pressures of gases used in the ion formation were measured. The obtained rate coefficients, α_KrD+(250 K) = (0.9 ± 0.3) × 10⁻⁸ cm³ s⁻¹ and α_XeD+(250 K) = (8 ± 2) × 10⁻⁸ cm³ s⁻¹ are compared with α_KrH+(250 K) = (2.0 ± 0.6) × 10⁻⁸ cm³ s⁻¹ and α_XeH+(250 K) = (8 ± 2) × 10⁻⁸ cm³ s⁻¹.     

Freezing-point of mixtures of H 2 16 O and H 2 18 O

Freezing-point depression of mixtures of H ₂ ¹⁶ O and H ₂ ¹⁸ O were measured. The results showed that the freezing point of the mixture rose linearly with an increase in the molal concentration of H ₂ ¹⁸ O. The results suggested the formation of a solid solution of H ₂ ¹⁶ O and H ₂ ¹⁸ O by freezing, similar to that formed by H ₂ O–D ₂ O, and that H ₂ ¹⁸ O behaves as a different molecule than H ₂ ¹⁶ O.     

Rotational molecular motion and solvation of Na+ and Cs+ in water-dimethylacetamide. A nuclear magnetic relaxation study

Nuclear magnetic relaxation by intra- and intermolecular quadrupoleelectric field gradient interaction has been used for the study of the systems DMA-water-NaI and DMA-water-CsI at 25°C.¹⁴N relaxation of DMA and²H relaxation of D₂O measured over the complete mixture range reveal the behavior of the rotational molecular motion of the two solvent components. For both solvent components a marked maximum of the reorientational correlation time has been found, reflecting hydrophobic effects and strong DMA-water interaction. The quadrupolar relaxation rates of²³Na⁺ and¹³³Cs⁺ in pure DMA were evaluated giving an indication that the electric solvent dipoles in the solvation shell are not located on positions of cubic symmetry. A quantitative study of preferential solvation of the cations in the mixed solvent has been performed by using the H₂O-D₂O isotope effect on²³Na⁺ and¹³³Cs⁺ relaxation. For both cations an obviously typical change in the selectivity occurs. In the range l>x _{H2 O}>0.7 we find weak preferential hydration, but in the range 0.7>xH ₂ O>0 strong preferential solvation by DMA is reflected.

Solvation of Na+ in N,N-dimethylformamide + methanol solutions. A nuclear magnetic relaxation study using dynamic solvent isotope effects

Inter- and intramolecular nuclear magnetic quadrupole relaxation measurements have been used to study the system methanol (CH₃OH)+ N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF)+NaI at 25°C. The dynamic behavior of the solvent molecules was investigated, throughout the composition range of the binary mixtures, by means of ¹⁴ N relaxation of DMF and ² H of methanol-d ₁ (CH ₃ OD). The intermolecular relaxation of ²³ Na⁺ in pure DMF was used to obtain information about the symmetry of the solvent electric dipole arrangement in the solvation sphere of the ion. The investigation of preferential solvation around Na⁺ in the binary mixtures was carried out by means of ²³ Na⁺ relaxation measurements using, for the first time, both the CH ₃ OH/CD ₃ OD and the DMF/DMF-d ₇ dynamic isotope effect. The results show that, throughout the composition range, there is preferential solvation by DMF. Furthermore, the use of the isotope effects of both components allowed for the first time a basic check of the reliability of the method since we obtained two independent sets of data for the composition of the Na⁺ solvation shell in the mixtures. The consistency of the two separate data sets demonstrates that the application of the dynamic isotope effect represents a powerful tool in preferential solvation studies.     

Recombination of HCO and DCO ions with electrons

Recombination of HCO⁺ and DCO⁺ ions with electrons was studied in afterglow plasma. The flowing afterglow with Langmuir probe (FALP) apparatus was used to measure the recombination rate coefficients and their temperature dependencies in the range 150–270 K. To obtain a recombination rate coefficient for a particular ion, the dependencies on partial pressures of gases used in the ion formation were measured. The variations of α_HCO⁺(T) and α_DCO⁺(T) seem to obey the power law: α_HCO⁺(T) = (2.0 ± 0.6) × 10⁻⁷ (T/300)^−1.3 cm³ s⁻¹ and α_DCO⁺(T) = (1.7 ± 0.5) × 10⁻⁷ (T/300)^−1.1 cm³ s⁻¹ over the studied temperature range.     

Mercury(II) cyanide complexes with alkyldiamines: solid-state/solution NMR,computational, and antimicrobial studies

Mercury cyanide complexes of alkyldiamines (1–6), [Hg(L)(CN)₂] (where L?=?en (1,2-diaminoethane), pn (1,3-diaminopropane), N-Me-en, N, N′-Me₂-en, N, N′-Et₂-en, and N, N′-ipr₂-en), have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, ¹³C, and ¹⁵N solution NMR in DMSO-d₆, as well as ¹³C, ¹⁵N, and ¹⁹⁹Hg solid-state NMR spectroscopy. Complexes 1 and 2 have been studied computationally, built and optimized by GAUSSIAN03 using DFT at B3LYP level with LanL2DZ basis set. Binding modes of en and bn (where bn?=?1,4-diaminobutane) toward Hg(CN)₂ are completely different. Complexes with en and pn show chelating binding to Hg(II), while bn behaves as a bridging ligand to form a polymeric structure, [Hg(CN)₂-bn]_∞ [B.A. Al-Maythalony, M. Fettouhi, M.I.M. Wazeer, A.A. Isab. Inorg. Chem. Commun., 12, 540 (2009).]. The solution ¹³C NMR of the complexes demonstrates a slight shift of the ?C≡N (0.9 to 2?ppm) and ?C–NH₂ (0.25 to 6?ppm) carbon resonances, while the other resonances are relatively unaffected. ¹⁵N labeling studies have shown involvement of alkyldiamine ligands in coordination to the metal. The principal components of the ¹³C, ¹⁵N, and ¹⁹⁹Hg shielding tensors have been determined from solid-state NMR data. Antimicrobial activity studies show that the complexes exhibit higher antibacterial activities toward various microorganisms than Hg(CN)₂.     

Nitropyrazoles

The structures of substitutedN-aminonitropyrazoles and 1- and 2-amino-4-nitro-1,2,3-triazoles as well as the site of protonation of 1-aminopyrazole were determined based on the¹H,¹³C, and¹⁵N (¹⁴N) NMR spectra. The¹³C NMR spectra were recorded under conditions of¹³C-{¹H,¹⁴N} triple resonance. Effects of substituents in the pyrazole ring on the¹³C and¹⁴N chemical shifts were studied. The¹³C,¹H and¹⁵N,¹H spin-spin coupling constants, obtained using techniques of [¹H]¹³C and [¹H]¹⁵N polarization transfer (SPT, INEPT), were measured, fully assigned, and discussed.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Stereochemicai study of 7-aryl-1,7,8,8a-tetrahydro-3(2H)indolizinones by1H and13C NMR

Stereochemistry of 7-aryl-1,7,8,8a-tetrahydro-3(2H)-indolizinones was studied by¹H and¹³C NMR. Complete assignment of¹H NMR signals and analysis of¹H-¹H coupling constants were performed using the iterative PANIC program.

The preparation of a series of p-sulfonated 1,2;3,4-calix[4]arene-biscrowns in the 1,2-alternate conformation is reported. These compounds are of two types:symmetrical p-sulfonated 1,2;3,4-calix[4]arene-biscrowns in which the two crown loops are the same and unsymmetrical p-sulfonated1,2;3,4-calix[4]arene-biscrowns in which the two crown loops are different. The X-ray structures of two synthetic intermediates are given. Preliminary complexation studies showed the ligands to present pronounced Cs⁺/Na⁺ selectivities.

The reaction of the title compound 1 with the p-R-aniline derivatives (R═H, F, OCH₃, NO₂, and NH₂) led to the formation of the aza-2σ³,4σ³-diphosphetidines 2a– 2e, whereas 2-trimethylsiloxyaniline furnished the azadiphosphetidine 2f. The reaction of the sterically crowded 2,6-dimethylaniline with 1 furnished the disubstituted derivative 3. The tricyclic compound 5 was formed during the reaction of 1,2-phenylenediamine with 1. Heptamethyldisilazane formed the aza-2σ ³ ,4σ ³ -diphosphetidine 6 on reaction with 1. The bulkier tert.-butylamine formed with 1 a mixture of the aza-2,4-diphosphetidine 7a and the disubstituted derivative 7b, which could not be separated. The reaction of 2b and 6 with tetrachloro-o-benzoquinone resulted in the formation of the bis-spirophosphoranes 8 and 9b, respectively. The formation of the monospirophosphorane 9a was observed in the ³¹P NMR spectrum. The characterization of compounds is based in particular on NMR investigations (¹H, ¹³C, ³¹P). 2a was characterized by a single-crystal X-ray structure analysis. The dimethylurea fragment is planar; the four-membered ring is folded about the P···P vector by 38.7°.     

Ion pair generation rates near planar3H and63Ni electron capture detector foils

The ion-pair generation rate (ionization topography) in plasmas from⁶³Ni and particularly Ti³H₄ foils, as used in electron capture detectors, was measured at room temperature using large, parallel plates of low backscattering ability in nitrogen gas of varying density. For one atmosphere pressure, the fall-off of ion pair formation as calculated from the exponential region equalsN ₀·e ^–0.19d for⁶³Ni andN ₀·e ^–1.4d for³H (whereN ₀ is the initial ionization rate immediately adjacent to the foil andd is the distance from the foil in mm). The experimentally measured half ranges (distances from the foil within which 50% of all possible ion pairs are created) are 2.7 mm for⁶³Ni and 0.27 mm for³H. The half ranges calculated from the exponential region where there is less interference from electron backscattering, are 3.7 and 0.5 mm, respectively. The latter values are considered closer to the true, unimpeded ionization topography near planar⁶³Ni and³H foils.Material taken from doctoral thesis

The Synthesis and the Cationic Fluorescence Role of Glycols with Aromatic End Groups, Part III

Some novel bis-(substituted-phenoxy) ended glycols were synthesised usinghydroxy aromatics of vanillin, o-vanillin, iso-vanillin and 4-hydroxy coumarin which reacted with bis-dihalides of polyglycols in the presence ofDMSO/alkali carbonate. The novel podands, Ar-(CH₂CH₂O)_m-Ar,(m = 1–4), were identified with IR, ¹H-NMR, ¹³C-NMR and mass spectrometry. The various (formyl-methoxy)phenyl and 4-oxycoumarin derivatives of glycols were studied to estimate the cation binding selectivity of SCN^- salts ofLi⁺, Na⁺, K⁺ and Zn²⁺ cations in acetonitrile using steady statefluorescence spectroscopy. The relevant structures of podands have shown goodselectivity depending on the cation and the glycollength, although the chromophoreend groups have no specific contribution on binding.     

Isomerization ofn-butane on the SO4/ZrO2 catalyst promoted by IV Period metals

The catalytic activity of superacidic systems based on SO₄/ZrO₂ and modified by IV Period metals in isomerization ofn-butane was studied. At low temperatures of the reaction, the introduction of Fe³⁺, Sc³⁺, Co²⁺, or Zn²⁺ ions (1%) increases the yield of isobutane by 1.5 times due to the activation ofn-butane on the sites created by the promoting ions. The addition of Cr³⁺, V⁴⁺, or Mn²⁺ (1%) decreases the catalytic activity because of a decrease in the catalyst acidity, most likely, due to the reduction of surface sulfur species. The influence of the nature of the support and surface additives of SiO₂, TiO₂, and ZrO₂ on the activity and selectivity of the catalytic system inn-butane isomerization was studied.
