The preparation of fluxional tetrahydrides, (R  H or Me) and their reactions with CO,ButNC or HBr

The cyclometallated monohydrides

(R  H or Me) react with NaOPrⁱ/PrⁱOH/H₂ to give fluxional tetrahydrides, probably

. These are highly fluxional having magnetically equivalent hydridic hydrogens, even at ---100°C. When treated with HBr,

, gives

and with CO it gives a mixture of complexes which are probably

(2 isomers) and

. When treated with Bu^tNC this tetrahydride undergoes similar reactions but another (major) product is formed which appears to be binuclear and fluxional and is probably of type

, with four bridging hydrogens.     

Laser flash photolysis of iodine-iodide mixture in hydroxylic solvent. Evidence for the existence of the radical anion I

The laser flash photolysis of iodine-iodide mixtures in alcoholic solvents produces transient species absorbing in the red and near infrared region with maxima at 740 and 590 nm. The 740 nm absorption band has already been attributed to the well known I

ion. In this work the 590 nm absorption band is assigned to the I

radical anion which presumably could be formed by the equilibrium reaction: I

+ I₃^- ? I

. The variations of the intensities of the 590 and 740 nm transient absorption bands as a function of I₃^? concentration, temperature and solvent, support this assignment. The kinetics of formation of I

and I

has been studied in solutions of tertiary butanol. An analysis of the experimental results shows that the I

ion could be formed via a mechanism involving an I

intermediate.

Electrogeneration of triplet states of intramolecular anthracene-amine systems

In the electron transfer between the cation radicals

Monofluoration stereoselective par le phenyltetrafluorophosphorane (PhPF4) Part. II. Application a la synthese des isomeres thréo et érythro des alkyl-2 fluoro-3 phenylpropanoates de methyle. Analyse conformationnelle par R.M.N. de 19F et 1H.

The stereoselective fluorination of four couples of diastereoisomeric 2-alkyl 3-hydroxy 3-phenylpropanoic methyl esters

by the reaction of the phenyltetrafluorophosphorane with the corresponding trimethylsilylethers derivatives

is described. The structure of the 2-alkyl 3-fluoro 3-phenyl propanoic methyl esters

obtained quantitativly has been determined unambiguously by NMR analysis. ¹⁹F NMR results permit us to determine the relative populations of the rotamers for each of the isomers threo and erythro.     

Some chlorine fluorosulfonate and peroxydisulfuryl-difluoride reactions

Chlorine fluorosulfonate adds exceptionally easy not only to various alkenes, perfluorobenzene, but to alkynes too

The addition of peroxydisulfuryldifluoride to alkyl- and perfluoroalkyliodides leads to unstable adducts, which decompose with the formation of alkylfluorosulfonates and iodine fluorosulfonate; the latter was trapped with fluoroalkenes

The use of ClOSO₂F allows to substitute selectively for the fluorosulfonate group the chlorine atom in monochloroacetic acid esters as well as the fluorine atom in hexafluoroacetone N-fluoroimine

ClOSO₂F serves as an exceptionally active chlorinating reagent for fluorinated alcohols, nitrosocompounds, perfluoroacid amides and particularly for benzene

The reaction of (OSO₂F)₂ with perfluoroacid amides leads to the corresponding N,N-bis(fluorosulfonate)amides, which easily rearrange into alkylfluorosulfonates

The hypochlorites of fluorinated alcohols are stable enough and they, similarly to ClOSO₂F, are able to add to alkenes, fluoroalkenes (but not to perfluoroisobutylene), bis(trifluoromethyl)ketene, trifluoromethylisocyanate and perfluoronitriles

The fluorosulfonatoacetic acid esters are unstable at the ambient temperature, but they can be widely used in situ as a very effective alkylating reagents

isomers of SO₂ is discussed.

,

,

, and

have been examined in the range 80–6000 cm^?1. The spectra are independent of concentration, solvent, or counterion if this is inert. The NH stretching band is a strong, broad doublet with maxima at 2080 and 2530 cm^?1. In the bridge deuterated species there is a single strong, broad, ND stretching band, maximum at 1920 cm^?1. The N-N stretching is infrared active, at ~138 cm^?1. The internal modes of the base are all singlets in both the infrared and Raman spectra. The proton bridge is between the σ orbitais on the N atoms.     

Overlap contribution to internal conversion coefficients of the 14.4 keV M1 transition in 57Fe

Electrokinetic phenomena in porous membranes: Determination of phenomenological coefficients and transport numbers

Electrokinetic phenomena in porous membranes were studied in the framework of the linear thermodynamics of irreversible processes. Phenomenological coefficients of two commercial porous membranes were determined. The variation of these coefficients with the different concentrations of NaCl used was also studied. Onsager's reciprocal relationship between cross-coefficients holds within the limits of experimental error.Membrane potentials were measured at concentrations ranging from 10^?3M to 75 X 10^?3M. The apparent transport number of the cation,

, was calculated from the diffusion potential expression. An electrometric method was used to obtain the true cation transport number,

, and the water transport number,

, for different solution concentrations, ranging from 15 x 10^?3M to 75 x 10^?3M. The true transport number of the cation,

, was also determined, taking into account water transport across the membrane. A good agreement was found between

and

values.     

Sussex-N.P.L. computer analysed thermochemical data: Organic and organometallic compounds : J.B. Pedley and J. Rylance,University of Sussex, 1977 £10.00

The formation of new

intermediates and especially germaimines R₂GeNR′ has been observed in the reaction of germylenes with phenyl azide (precursor of phenylnitrene). These transient derivatives lead, by polycondensation reactions, to the corresponding cyclic or linear germazanes

, and are characterized by insertion reactions into the germanium—nitrogen bond, cleavage and addition reaction with tetrahydrofuran, and pseudo-Wittig reactions with benzaldehyde. The latter produces the corresponding germoxanes via new

intermediates and phenyl benzaldimine.
