Some remarks on the periodical change of the stability constants of the lanthanide complexes

The correlations between the values of the lgK (K = stability constant of the lanthanide complex) and the reciprocal of the ionic radius 1/r or the sum of the ionization potentials ₁ ³ I for the lanthanide ions were reviewed for different ligands. A straight-line relationship (lgK – lgK)/lgK vs. (1/r – 1/r)/(1/r) or vs. ( ₁ ³ I – ₁ ³ I)/ ₁ ³ I was found within the tetrads La-Nd, Gd-Ho, and Er-Lu.

Studies on thermal decomposition of rare earth element complexes with glycolic acid

The rare earth complexes with glycolic acid were prepared as crystalline solids with general formula [Ln(CH₂OHCOO)₃H₂O]·nH₂O, wheren=0 for La-Gd andn=2 for Y and Tb-Lu. During heating the monohydrates of La and Pr-Gd decomposed in two steps to Ln₂O₃ and Pr₆O₁₁, with intermediate formation of Ln₂O₂CO₃; monohydrated Ce(III) glycolate decomposed directly to CeO₂. The trihydrated glycolates of Y and Tb-Lu first lost two water molecules and the monohydrated complexes then decomposed to Ln₂O₃ and Tb₄O₇ through Ln₂O₂CO₃.

Influence of alkali promoters on the direction of CO conversion on precipitated Fe catalysts

Dipole strengths of various heteronuclear diatomic molecules are calculated for high and low energy transitions of one spectral type, 1-1, -.

Synthesis of tetracarbocyanines by the scission of the pyrylium ring of benzopyrylocyanines

It has been shown that the reaction of monomethinecyanines containing 4-benzopyrylium residues with quaternary salts of derivatives of 2-[(1, 5, 5-trimethylcyclohex-1-en-3-ylidene)-methyl]benzothiazole leads to the scission of the pyrylium ring and the addition of the quaternary salt to the position of scission. The reaction gives tetracarbocyanines containing an o-hydroxyphenyl or an o-acetoxyphenyl substituent in the polymethine chain in addition to a hydrocarbon ring.

Theoretical study of the6Σ+,6Π, and4Σ+ van der Waals states of NO

Summary Potential energy curves for the weakly bound⁶⁺,⁶, and⁴⁺ states of NO are presented at various levels of correlation treatment. The binding energies for the van der Waals minima vary from about 30 cm^–1 for the⁶⁺ state to about 20 cm^–1 for the⁴⁺ and⁶ states. We investigate the importance of constraining the wave function to dissociate to a spherically symmetric O atom where the oxygen 2p orbitals are equivalent. For high levels of correlation treatment, we find that these restrictions have little effect on the potential, while greatly increasing the length of the CI expansion.     

Preliminary calculations on excited states of the oxygen molecule

It is well known that the energy interval separating ³ _u ^– and ³ _u ⁺ states of O₂, as given by the conventional ASMO method, is too large. In order to resolve this difficulty, removal of the equivalence restrictions usually employed in the orbital theory is proposed. Thus the orbital exponent of one antibonding _g MO is allowed to take a different value from the other _g's. Variational calculations show that the resulting outermost orbital is much more diffuse than the others. This model of a single diffuse orbital brings about a considerable energy lowering for the ³ _u ^– state and thus the agreement of the ³ _u ^– - ³ _u ⁺ interval with experiment is improved.

---

Zusammenfassung Die konventionelle ASMO-Theorie liefert bekanntlich eine viel zu große Differenz der Terme ³ _u ^– und ³ _u ⁺ von O₂, weswegen der Vorschlag gemacht wird, die üblicherweise vorgenommene Äquivalenz-Einschränkung fallen zu lassen. Der Orbital-Exponent eines lockernden MO's kann von dem der übrigen _g's abweichen. Rechnungen zeigen, daß das äußerste MO viel diffuser als die anderen ist und daß die Energie des ³ _u ^– -Zustandes beträchtlich erniedrigt wird.

---

Résumé La séparation entre les états ³ _u ^{– 3} _u ⁺ de O₂ donnée par la méthode ASMO conventionnelle est connue pour être trop grande. Afin de résoudre cette difficulté la levée des restrictions d'équivalence ordinairement utilisées est proposée. Ainsi l'exposant orbital d'une des orbitales moléculaires antiliantes _g peut prendre une valeur différente de celui de l'autre orbitale antiliante _g. Des calculs variationnels montrent que l'orbitale la plus haute ainsi obtenue est beaucoup plus diffuse que les autres. Ceci a pour effet de diminuer considérablement l'énergie de l'état ³ _u ^– , améliorant la séparation entre les états ³ _u ^– et ³ _u ⁺ .

Effect of substituents on ionization potentials of phosphorus compounds. Conjugation in radical cations

The first vertical ionization potentials (I) of phosphorus compounds P(X_i)₃, OP(X_i)₃, SP(X_i)₃, (4-XC₆H₄)₃P, and PCX are related to the inductive, resonance, and polarizability parameters of inorganic, organic, and organometallic substituents X by dependences of the type I = I _H + a_I + b_R ⁺ + c, where I _H is the I value for X = H. The I values are also affected by hyperconjugation. The ratio of the contributions of the resonance (b_R ⁺) and polarizability (c) effects to the I value is determined by the degree of delocalization of the unpaired electron and the positive charge in the radical cations formed upon ionization of neutral molecules. The _R ⁺ resonance parameters of organosilicon, organogermanium, and organotin substituents bound to the P ^·+ radical cation center were calculated for the first time.

Kinetic and mechanistic studies on the oxidation of arginine and histidine by chloramine-T in hydrochloric acid medium

The oxidation of amino acids by chloramine-T (CAT) in HCl medium at 30°C indicates simultaneous catalysis by H⁺ and Cl^– ions in the HCl concentration range of 0.04–0.12 M. The reaction is first order with respect to concentrations [CAT], [H⁺] and [arginine], but zero order with respect to [histidine]. The rate depends also on Cl^– concentration following 0.7th order. At HCl concentrations >0.12 M, the rate equation is:w=k[CAT] [amino acid]^0.6 and is independent of the [Cl^–]. A suitable mechanism has been suggested.
