Summary Some anomalies in the intensities of the bands of the C=C and C=O bonds in the vibrational spectra of , -unsaturated ketones have been explained by a difference in the sequence of the frequencies of the in-phase (_s) and out-of-phase (_as) vibrations of the multiple bonds in their cis (_s<_as) and trans (_s>_as) arrangements.     

Infrared spectroscopy of hydrogen bond and substituent effects in electron donor molecules

The frequency shift, , of the O—H stretching mode in the IR spectra of the H-complexes of phenol with electron donor molecules BX_i (B is the n- or -donor center and X_i are substituents; a total of eight series), the change in the Gibbs free energy, G, due to H-complexation, and the parameter (a measure of the ability of BX_i molecules to donate an electron pair; two series) are determined by both the electrostatic interaction and charge transfer in the formation of H-complex. The , G, and values depend not only on the inductive and resonance effects, but also the polarizability of substituents characterized by the parameters.     

Charge control of phenol complexation with unsaturated compounds containing organosilicon substituents. Thiophene derivatives

The frequency shifts of the O-H stretching modes and the resonance components _R of these shifts in the IR spectra of H-complexes of phenol with thiophene derivatives having organic and organosilicon substituents have been analyzed. Relationship of and _R parameters to values calculated by nonempirical methods that characterize the electronic effect of organic substituents on the effective charges of the thiophene ring atoms has been established. It has been shown that in the complexation of phenol (hard acid) with thiophene derivatives charge control prevails over frontier orbital control. The changes in the effective charges of the thiophene ring atoms due to the effect of organosilicon substituents have been calculated.For the previous publication of this series see Ref. 1.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

IR Spectroscopic Study of Alkane Interaction with the Brønsted Acid Sites of Hydrogen-Exchanged Zeolites

Diffuse-reflectance IR spectroscopy is used to study the interaction of C₃ and C₆ alkanes (propane, n-hexane, 3-methylpentane, and cyclohexane) with the Brønsted acid sites of hydrogen-exchanged mordenite, ferrierite, ZSM-5, and faujasite. It is found that a shift of the absorption band of the stretching vibrations of acidic Si(OH)Al groups toward lower frequencies (OH) due to the formation of a hydrogen bond with adsorbed alkanes increases in the following series: OH(propane) < OH(n-hexane) = OH(3-methylpentane). The accessibility of Si(OH)Al groups to alkane molecules is determined by the dimension of rings through which molecules enter zeolite channels and cavities. It follows from the measured OH values that the strength of Brønsted acid sites decreases in the following series: HZSM-5 > H-mordenite H-ferrierite HY. The difference between the three high-silica zeolites is not great. The results obtained are compared with the published IR data on Si(OH)Al groups of zeolites with adsorbed alkanes and other weak bases.     

Donor properties of the nitrone function in copper(II) complexes of some 2-hydroxy-1-naphthylnitrones

Summary Copper(II) complexes of the type CuL₂, 2H₂O and CuL₂. Py where L=-(2-hydroxy-1-naphthyl)-N-R-nitrone (R= methyl, phenyl and variously substituted phenyls) have been isolated and characterised. They have normal magnetic moments. Their ligand field spectra indicate an octahedral geometry for the dihydrates and a five-coordinate environment for the pyridine adducts. Increased (C=N) and considerably decreased (N-O) frequencies in these complexes reveal the presence of - and -interactions of the ligand with copper through nitrone oxygen. The effect of pyridine adduct formation is to increase the Cu-O -interaction.

Vibrational isotope effect by the low rank perturbation method

Mathematical formalism of the low rank perturbation method (LRP) is applied to the vibrational isotope effect in the harmonic approximation. A pair of two n-atom isotopic molecules A and B which are identical except for isotopic substitutions at atomic sites is considered. Relations which express vibrational frequencies _k and normal modes _k of the perturbed isotopic molecule B in terms of the vibrational frequencies _i and normal modes _i of the unperturbed molecule A are derived. In these relations complete specification of the unperturbed normal modes _i is not required. Only amplitudes | _i of normal modes _i at sites affected by the isotopic substitution are needed.

Far infrared spectra (500–50 cm−1) of the 2,2′-bipyridine complexes of palladium and platinum halides

Summary The far-i.r. spectra of the title complexes have been examined. Band assignments are based on the shifts induced by ligand deuteration and halide substitution. Deuteration of bipyridine causes large shifts ( >10 cm^–1) in internal ligand modes, intermediate shifts between 2 and 9 cm^–1) in metal-nitrogen stretching and bending modes and small to zero shifts in metal-halide stretching and bending vibrations. Generally, the requirements for square planarC _2v synanetry [two (M–N) and two (M–X) bands] are observed. Previous ambiguities in the assignment of the (M–N) bands have been resolved by the isotopic labelling technique employed in this study.     

Systematics of bonding in non-icosahedral carbon clusters

General formulas are presented for the vertex numbers, , of pentagon+hexagon polyhedra of icosahedral, tetrahedral or dihedral symmetries. Criteria for uniqueness of representation, isomer counts and grouping of pentagons are established. All polyhedra with 256 vertices or less and belonging to T, D ₅, D₆or their supergroups are listed. With the addition of C₃ to the dihedral and higher groups, at least one pentagon+hexagon cluster is found for all even 20 except for = 22 which is unrealisable in any symmetry, and = 46 (for which a C₃ polyhedron exists). Carbon clusters with closed electronic shells are shown to be generated by a geometrical leapfrog procedure: for all = 60+6k (where k is zero or greater than one) at least one closed shell structure is predicted. In dihedral symmetry closed shells also exist for some other values of . Separation of the 12 pentagonal faces is not sufficient to ensure a closed electronic shell but appears to be a necessary condition in dihedral or tetrahedral symmetry.

Modification of the Pitzer model to calculate the mean activity coefficients of electrolytes in a water-alcohol mixed solvent solution

The approach tested in this work consists in adapting the Pitzer model, initially designed for aqueous solutions of electrolytes, to the case of solutions with a mixed solvent, without systematically readjusting the coefficients. This modified model was applied successfully to the calculation of the mean activity coefficients of NaBr in the mixed solvent H₂O+MeOH, H₂O+EtOH and compared with the experimental values obtained from electrode potential measurements.General D dielectric constant - G ^ex excess Gibbs energy - I ionic strength - k Boltzman's constant - m _i molality - N _o Avogadro's number - n _w number of kilograms of water - R gas constant - T temperature (K) - T _c critical temperature - T _cm critical temperature of mixed solvent - x _i molar fraction - z _i ionic charge - electronic charge - osmotic coefficient - ± mean activity coefficient of electrolyte - number of moles of ions given by one mole of electrolyte - _M number of moles of cations given by one mole of electrolyte - _X number of moles of anions given by one mole of electrolyte - _W density of water Debye- Hückel Model A Debye-Hückel parameter - a distance of closest approach of ions in solution - B Debye-Hückel parameter Pitzer Model b numerical parameter of model - numerical parameter of model - ₁, ₂ numerical parameters of model, used in the case of 2:2 electrolyte - _MX ⁽⁰⁾ numerical parameter of electrolyte MX - _MX ⁽¹⁾ numerical parameter of electrolyte MX - _MX ⁽²⁾ numerical parameter of 2:2 electrolyte MX - C _MX numerical parameter of electrolyte MX - binary interaction parameter - ternary interaction parameter     

Frequencies and integral intenstities of the lactone and ester carbonyls of natural guaianolides

The frequencies and integral intensities of the IR bands of the stretching vibrations of lactone and acyclic ester carbonyls at C-8 of ten natural guaianolides and their derivatives, and of three model compounds have been studied. The most probable interpretation of the change in the value of A_C=O and _C=O of the lactone carbonyl have been suggested. In elegin and some of its derivatives, acroptilin, chlorohyssopifolin B, and eleganin, a lowering of the values of A_C=0 and _C=0 in comparison with dihydroelegin, hexahydroelegin, and the hydroxylactone of cynaropicrin is caused by nonvalent interactions of the lactone carbonyl with the -exocyclic double bond. The increase in A_C=O and _C=O in dihydroelegin, hexahydroelegen, and the hydroxylactone of cynaropicrin is due to the angular strain of the -lactone ring. It has been shown that in an acyclic side chain at C-8 an increase in the integral intensity and in the frequency of the ,-unsaturated ester carbonyl relative to guaianolides in which the terminal vinyl group at C-17 is absent is due to a conjugation effect.Institute of the Chemistry of Plant Substances, Uzbek SSR Academy of Sciences, Tashkent.

Vibrational isotope effect of linear and planar molecules: Deuterated bromoethenes

Linear (planar) molecules A and B which are identical except for isotopic substitutions at the atomic sites are considered. Stretching (bending, out-of-plane) frequencies _k and normal modes _k of the isotopically perturbed molecule B are expressed in terms of stretching (bending, out-of-plane) frequencies _i and the corresponding normal modes _i of the unperturbed molecule A. Complete specification of the unperturbed normal modes is not required. All that is needed are stretching (bending, out-of-plane) amplitudes | _i of the normal modes _i at those sites that are affected by isotopic substitution. The rule which interlaces frequencies _k of molecule A with frequencies _i of molecule B is derived. Given two isotopic molecules A and B that differ by a single isotopic substitution at site , the inversion relation is derived. This relation expresses unperturbed stretching (bending, out-of-plane) amplitudes at the site in terms of stretching (bending, out-of-plane) frequencies of molecules A and B . As an example, out-of-plane vibrations of deuterated bromoethene were considered. In the simplest method 12 out-of-plane frequencies of four polydeuterated bromoethenes were calculated from 12 out-of-plane frequencies of bromoethene and three monodeuterated bromoethenes. Standard deviation of thus calculated frequencies from experimental frequencies is =2.74 cm^–1. In another method, 15 out-of-plane frequencies of four polydeuterated bromoethenes and selected monodeuterated bromoethene are calculated from 9 out-of-plane frequencies of bromoethene and the remaining two monodeuterated bromoethenes. Depending on which monodeuterated bromoethene is selected (1-, cis- or trans-), standard deviation of thus obtained frequencies from experimental frequencies is 1=2.84 cm^–1, c=2.96 cm^–1 and t=2.72 cm^–1.     

Die IR-Spektren von B-Methoxy- und B-Trideuteromethoxyborazinen und-boroxinen und Tri[methoxy(d3)boran

Zusammenfassung In Methoxyverbindungen des Bors tritt eine Verminderung der Frequenz der B—O-Valenzschwingung gengenüber den entsprechenden Trideuteromethoxyverbindungen auf. Dies wird durch zufällige Entartung von B—O und CH₃ erklärt, die zu einer Abstoßung und zur Vermischung des Schwingungscharakters dieser beiden Schwingungen führt. Hiedurch werden die B—O-Valenzschwingungen zu tieferen und die CH₃-Deformationsschwingungen zu höheren Wellenzahlen verschoben. Ähnliche Erscheinungen sind auch in Methoxyborazinen durch Wechselwirkung von BN und CH₃ zu beobachten. Diese Deutung gibt auch Hinweise für Zuordnungen in den Spektren von N-Methylborazinderivaten.

In methoxy substituted boron compounds bands arising from B—O stretching and (O)–CH₃ deformation modes show accidental degeneracy. The frequency of the CH₃ absorption is increased whereas BO is decreased compared to the corresponding CD₃-compounds. The spectra of B-methoxyborazines show similar effects between BN and (O)–CH₃ bands, which is analogous to interference between BN and (N)–CH₃ in N-methylborazines.

Die PO-Bindung in den Phosphiten von Alkali- und Erdalkalimetallen

Zusammenfassung Auf Grund der Infrarotspektren der Phosphite von sieben Metallen der I. und II. Hauptgruppe des Periodischen Systems wurden die Werte der die PO-Bindung in den untersuchten Phosphiten charakterisierenden Parameter (Aufspaltung der Absorptionsbande der antisymmetrischen Valenzschwingung , Kraftkonstantenk _PO, Bindungslänger _PO und BindungsordnungN _PO) festgestellt. Es zeigte sich, daß die Kationen in der Abhängigkeit von ihrer Größe das Phosphitanion deformieren. Die Deformation des Anions erweist sich am deutlichsten in den Werten . Die Bindungsordnungen zeigen einen bedeutenden Anteil der -Bindungen in der PO-Bindung der untersuchten Phosphite.

ThePO-bond in alkali metal phosphites and alkaline earth metal phosphites

The IR absorption spectra of seven phosphites of metals of groups I and II of the periodic table were recorded. From the spectra obtained, the values of the parameters characterizing the PO-bond in the compounds studied (splitting of the absorption band of the antisymmetric stretching vibration , force constantk _PO, bond lengthr _PO and bond orderN _PO) were calculated. It was shown that deformation of the phosphite anion by the cations is a function of the size of the latter. The deformation of the anion is revealed most clearly in the values . The values of the bond orderN _PO reveal a substantial degree of -bonding in the PO-bonds of the phosphites studied.

     

Phase separation of poly(γ-benzyl L-glutamate) to liquid crystal and isotropic solution in various helicogenic solvents

Solvent effects on the phase separation of poly(-benzyl L-glutamate) to liquid crystal and isotropic solution have been observed in various helicogenic solvents. The temperature-composition phase diagrams have been determined for each solution. The critical concentrations, ₂ ^* , at which the phase separation occours have been compared in various solvents. In dimethylformamide in which the polymer is molecularly dispersed, the observed ₂ ^* value has agreed with that calculated by Flory's theory. In some solvents in which the polymer aggregates in a head-to-tail mode such as chloroform, the observed ₂ ^* values have been considerably small. It is assumed that the polymer aggregates behave as longer particles than the original particles. In dioxane in which the polymer aggregates highly both in a head-to-tail and a side-by-side modes, the ₂ ^* value has been a little larger than that in chloroform. In this case the relationship between the aggregation and the liquid crystal formation is so complicated that further investigation is necessary. In aromatic solvents such asm-cresol that dissolves the polymer almost molecularly, the ₂ ^* is smaller than that in dimethylformamide. Therefore, the intermolecular interactions between the phenyl groups in the side groups of the polymer and those in solvent molecules must be considered.The author is grateful to Mr. K. Sano and Mr. M. Watanabe for their observation of the liquid crystal formation.
