Synthesis and thermochemical properties of some fluorine-containing formals

Fluorination of bis(2-fluoro-2,2-dinitroethyl) and bis(2,2,2-trinitroethyl) thionocarbonates by elemental fluorine gave bis(2-fluoro-2,2-dinitroethyl) and bis(2,2,2-trinitroethyl) difluoroformals. The reaction of 2,2,2-trinitroethyl nitrate with 2-fluoro-2,2-dinitroethyl chloromethyl ether gave 2-fluoro-2,2-dinitroethyl 2,2,2-trinitroethyl formal. The standard heats of combustion and formation of the synthesized formals were determined by combustion in a calorimetric bomb. Increments of substitution of the trinitromethyl group by the fluorodinitromethyl group and of the H atom by F in the methylene group for formals were calculated and recommended for rough calculations. It was shown that it is possible to evaluate Hf⁰ of the formals by the method of increments and group contributions.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 11, pp. 2513–2517, November, 1991.

2,2′-Diphenyl-Δ3,3′-bi-3H-indole-1,1′-dioxide: Molecular interactions and crystal structure

The Dinitrone 2,2-diphenyl-^3,3-bi-3H-indole-1,1-dioxide acts as a demethylating and dehydrogenating agent. The mechanism of interaction of the dinitrone with donors and acceptors does not involve intermediate charge-transfer complexes probably due to a self association between dinitrone molecules (as supported by X-ray determinations). The crystal structure of the dinitrone was obtained by direct methods;a=9.967 (2),b=19.817 (3),c=10.875 (2) Å, =111.2 (2)°, space group P2₁/n. The finalR andR _w were 0.089 and 0.063 for all measured reflexes.

Zusammenfassung Das Dinitron 2,2-Diphenyl-^3,3-bi-3H-indol-1,1-dioxid wirkt als Demethylierungs- und Oxydationsmittel. Die Wechselwirkung des Dinitrons mit Elektronen-Acceptoren und Elektronen-Donatoren geht wegen der Selbstassoziation zwischen den Dinitron-Molekülen ohne die dazwischenliegende Bildung eines Charge-Transfer-Komplexes vor sich; das wird auch von Röntgenstrukturuntersuchungen gestützt.

Kraftfeldrechnungen an linearen Oligopyrrolen: 2,2′-Bipyrrol, 2,2′-Furylpyrrol und Prodigiosen

Using a specific force field model, relative stabilities of 2,2-bipyrrole and 2,2-furylpyrrole conformers as well as of prodigiosene tautomers, configurations, and conformations, are studied. 2,2-Bipyrrole adopts anantiperiplanar conformation in accord with other theoretical calculations and experimental findings. Its rotational barrier calculated by this method compares favourably to the one derived by other means. For the parent prodigiosene the (Z)sp,sp arrangement is found to be the most stable one. The two possible tautomers within its dipyrrin fragment do not show a significant energy difference.

Stereochemistry of planarchiral compounds,part XII: Absolute chiralities and X-ray crystal structures of 2,2′-Bi(1,6-methano[10]annulenyl)s

Summary The absolute chirality of the dextrorotatory main rotamer of 10,10-dibromo-2,2-bi(1,6-methano[10]annulenyl) (1 b), obtained by low temperature chromatography or by crystallisation of the (+)-enantiomer of1 b, was established by observation of anomalous X-ray diffraction as (+)-(R) _p (R) _a (R) _p -1b. This result was confirmed by reduction of (+)-1 b to a dextrorotatory 2,2-bi(1,6-methano[10]annulenyl) (1 a), which in turn was accessible by coupling of (–)-2-Bromo-1,6-methano[10]annulene (3) of known chirality (S) _p and, moreover, by enantioselective chromatography of1 a on triacetyl cellulose in ethanol. This correlation determines also the chirality of (+)-1 a as (S) _p (S) _p .According to the X-ray analyses the main rotamer of (+)-1 b and the meso-form (2 b) adopt crystal structures in which the bromine atoms come close to the CH₂-bridges. The torsional angles around the 2,2-bonds vary between 33°, 53° and 65° for (+)-1 b, racem.1 b and the mesoform2 b, respectively.Dedicated to Prof. Dr. G. Snatzke (Bochum) with cordial wishes on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of his birthday

The crystal and molecular structures of 1,1′-divinyl-2,2′-biimidazolyl

The crystal and molecular structures of 1,1-divinyl-2,2-biimidazolyl (L) were determined by x-ray crystallographic analysis. It was established that the molecule of L has crystallographic symmetry 2 and a cisoid conformation with an angle of rotation of 128° between the imidazole rings. The length of the C²-C² bond is increased to 1.485(11) Å compared with the length of the analogous bond in unsubstituted 2,2-biimidazolyl (1.423 Å). Localization of the N=C multiple bond is observed [1.297(9) Å]. The other N-C bonds of the ring are almost equalized (1.374 Å) and are close to the standard values for bonds of the C _sp ²-N type in imidazoles. The angle between the plane of the heterocycle and the plane passing through the atoms of the vinyl group amounts to 7°.N. S.

Studies of the energy spectrum of α, ω- substituted polymethine chains. II. Polymethine chains with odd number of methine groups

The analysis of the experimental data for the energy of the longest wavelength optical transitions _n,opt of substituted polymethines X (CH)_2n+1 X shows that in the asymptotic case (n) _,opt does not tend to zero, as it follows from the empirically established correlations, but has a finite, non-zero value. It is shown that the energy gap of odd polymethines is the same as that of the even polymethines - the polyenes (E 2 eV). The substituents (X N, O, B) are responsible for the appearance of levels in the gap. These, depending on the substituent character, are vacant (X B) or occupied (X N, O). The transition from or to such a level determines the longest wavelength optical transition energy of polymethines.     

Acid association quotients of bis-tris in aqueous sodium chloride media to 125°C

The ionic strength and temperature dependencies of the molal acid association quotients of 2,2-Bis(hydroxymethyl)-2,2,2-nitrilotriethanol (also abbreviated as bis-tris) were determined potentiometrically in a concentration cell fitted with hydrogen electrodes. The emf was recorded for equimolal bis-tris/bis- trisHCl buffer solutions from 5 to 125°C at approximately 25°C intervals, and at nine ionic strengths from 0.05 to 5.0m (NaCl). The molal association quotients, combined with infinite dilution values from the literature, are described precisely by a seven parameter equation which yielded the following thermodynamic quantities at infinite dilution and 25°C: logK=6.481±0.003, H ^o =–28.5±0.2 kJ-mol ^–1 , S ^o =28.5±0.8 J-K ^–1 -mol ^–1 , and C _P ^o =–22±5 J-K ^–1 -mol ^–1 . The equation incorporates a simple three term expression for logK, but requires four terms to describe the rather complex ionic strength dependence despite the reaction being isocoulombic. The molal association quotients from this study and the literature were also subjected to the Pitzer ion interaction treatment.
