F2 Σ+ -X 2Σ +Band System of Cobalt Carbide

The laser-induced fluorescence excitation spectrum of CoC was recorded in the spectral region from 13500 cm-1 to 22000 cm-1, in which the CoC molecules were produced by the reaction of sputtered cobalt atoms with methanol under supersonic jet cooled conditions. Much of the visible spectrum was assigned to transitions between the X2∑+ ground state and F2∑+ state. The 11 bands assigned as (v’=3-13, 0) transitions of the F2∑+- X2∑+ band system were observed and rotationally analyzed. Equilibrium constants for the F2∑+ state were Te=1362 cm-1, ωe=669 cm-1 ,ωe?e=4.3 cm-1, Be=0.546 cm-1, and Re=1.758A. Some new bands were observed.     

Measurements of the thermal neutron cross-sections and resonance integrals for 186W (n,γ) 187W and 98Mo (n,γ) 99Mo reactions

The thermal neutron cross-sections and resonance integrals of the ¹⁸⁶W (n,γ) ¹⁸⁷W and ⁹⁸Mo (n,γ) ⁹⁹Mo reactions in the thermal and 1/E regions, respectively, of a thermal reactor neutron spectrum have been experimentally determined by the activation method using ¹⁹⁷Au (n,γ) ¹⁹⁸Au reaction as a single comparator. The high purity natural W, Mo, and Zr foils; and Au wire diluted in aluminum, were irradiated without Cd shield in two neutron irradiation sites, characterized with different values for the thermal-to-epithermal flux ratios, f at the Second Egyptian Research Reactor (ETRR-2). The induced activities in the samples were measured by high-resolution γ-ray spectrometry with a calibrated germanium detector. Thermal neutron cross-sections for 2200 m/s neutrons and resonance integrals for the ¹⁸⁶W (n,γ) ¹⁸⁷W and ⁹⁸Mo (n,γ) ⁹⁹Mo reactions have been obtained relative to the reference values, σ₀ = 98.65 ± 0.09 b and I ₀ = 1500 ± 28 b for the ¹⁹⁷Au (n,γ) ¹⁹⁸Au reaction. The necessary correction factors for thermal neutron and resonance neutron self-shielding effects, and the epithermal flux index (α) were taken into account in the determinations. The results obtained were: σ₀ = 38.43 ± 0.4 b and I ₀ = 502 ± 65 b for ¹⁸⁶W (n,γ) ¹⁸⁷W, and σ₀ = 0.137 ± 0.014 band I ₀ = 6.47 ± 0.8 for ⁹⁸Mo (n,γ) ⁹⁹Mo. These results are discussed and compared with previous measurements and evaluated data in literature. The traditional method of determining thermal cross-sections and resonance integrals via neutron irradiation with and without Cd shield in one irradiation position was avoided in this work by neutron irradiation without Cd shield in at least two different neutron irradiation positions. This method provides alternative way for determining thermal cross-sections and resonance integrals simultaneously.     

Kinetics of the ?OH-radical initiated reactions of acetic acid and its deuterated isomers

Kinetics of the ^•OH-initiated reactions of acetic acid and its deuterated isomers have been investigated performing simulation chamber experiments at T = 300 ± 2 K. The following rate constant values have been obtained (± 1σ, in cm³ molecule⁻¹ s⁻¹): k ₁(CH₃C(O)OH + ^•OH) = (6.3 ± 0.9) × 10⁻¹³, k ₂(CH₃C(O)OD + ^•OH) = (1.5 ± 0.3) × 10⁻¹³, k ₃(CD₃C(O)OH + ^•OH) = (6.3 ± 0.9) × 10⁻¹³, and k ₄(CD₃C(O)OD + ^•OH) = (0.90 ± 0.1) × 10⁻¹³. This study presents the first data on k ₂(CH₃C(O)OD + ^•OH). Glyoxylic acid has been detected among the products confirming the fate of the ^•CH₂C(O)OH radical as suggested by recent theoretical studies.     

Rotational Analysis of A2Πu-X2Σ+g System of 14N2+

The absorption spectrum of N₂⁺ has been studied using optical-heterodyne velocity mod-ulation spectroscopy in the near-infrared region. The observed spectral lines were assigned to the (3,1), (4,2), (5,3), (8,5) bands of the A²Π_u-X²Σ⁺_g system and the line lists were provided. The (5,3) band was studied for the first time. Fourteen rotational-resolved bands in literatures were fitted together with our observed bands and the molecular constants were obtained for υ_A=0-9 and υ_X=0-5.

Synthesis and structure of the platinum complexes [Bu4N]+[PtBr5(DMSO)]?, [Ph4P]+[PtBr5(DMSO)]?, and [Ph3(n-Am)P]+[PtBr5(DMSO)]?

The complexes [Bu₄N]₂⁺[PtBr₆]²⁻ (I), [Ph₄P]₂⁺[PtBr₆]²⁻ (II), and [Ph₃(n-Am)P]₂⁺ (III) are synthesized by the reactions of tetrabutylammonium bromide, tetraphenylphosphonium bromide, and triphenyl(n-amyl)-tetraphenylphosphonium bromide, respectively, with potassium hexabromoplatinate (mole ratio 2: 1). After recrystallization from dimethyl sulfoxide, complexes I, II, and III transform into [Bu₄N]⁺[PtBr₅(DMSO)]⁻ (IV), [Ph₄P]⁺[PtBr₅(DMSO)]⁻ (V), and [Ph₃(n-Am)P]⁺[PtBr₅(DMSO)]⁻ (VI). According to the X-ray diffraction data, the cations of complexes IV–VI have a slightly distorted tetrahedral structure. The N-C and P-C bond lengths are 1.492(7)–1.533(6) and 1.782(10)–1.805(10) ?, respectively. The platinum atoms in the mononuclear anions are hexacoordinated. The dimethyl sulfoxide ligands are coordinated with the Pt atom through the sulfur atom (Pt-S 2.3280(18)–2.3389(11) ?). The Pt-Br bond lengths are 2.4330(6)–2.4724(6) ?.     

High Precision Cavity Ring Down Spectroscopy of 6υ3 Overtone Band of 14N2 16O near 775 nm

Transitions of the 6υ₃ overtone band of ¹⁴N₂ ¹⁶O near 775 nm have been studied by continuous-wave cavity ring-down spectroscopy. Line positions and intensities were derived from a fit of the line shape using a hard-collisional profile. The line positions determined with absolute accuracy of 5×10^-4 cm^-1 allowed us to reveal finer ro-vibrational couplings taking place after J>14 except a strong anharmonic interaction identified by the effective Hamiltonian model. The absolute line intensities have also been retrieved with an estimated accuracy of 2% for a majority of the unblended lines. A new set of ro-vibrational and dipole moment parameters were derived from the experimental values. A comparison between the line positions and intensities of the 6υ₃ band obtained in this work and those from previous studies is given.     

Study of the 1A1?5T2 spin transition in mix-ligand complexes of iron(II) hexafluorosilicate with 1,2,4-triazole and 4-amino-1,2,4-triazole

Synthesis procedures for mix-ligand complexes with a composition of Fe(Htrz)_3(1-x)(NH₂trz)_3x SiF₆ · mH₂O, 0 ≤ x ≤ 1, m=1,2 are developed. Solid phases are isolated from water-ethanol solutions and studied by X-ray phase analysis, the method of static magnetic susceptibility (temperature range of 100 K to 400 K), IR and M?ssbauer spectroscopy (at 200 K and 298 K). The temperatures of direct and inverse transitions are shown to depend on the complex composition.     

Acid-base properties of the surface of the α-Al2O3 suspension

The distribution of the acid-base centers on the surface of α-Al₂O₃ suspension particles was studied by potentiometric titration, and the corresponding pK spectra were constructed. It was inferred that the double electric layer created by the supporting electrolyte substantially affected the screening of the acid-base centers on the particle surface of the suspension.     

Can the decay rate of 32P be changed by mechanic motion?

The influence of mechanic motion on the decay rate of ³²P was studied by means of liquid scintillation counting (LSC). The results indicate that, on the Northern Hemisphere, the half life of ³²P in anticlockwise circular centrifuge rotation (radius 10 cm, 4000 r/min) equals the one in natural conditions within 0.6 percent uncertainty.     

X-ray and conformation analysis of the new trinuclear cluster of osmium Os3(μ,η2-OCC6H5)(η3-C3H5)(CO)9

The crystal structure of the Os₃(μ,η²-O=CC₆H₅)(η³-C₃H₅)(CO)₉ cluster synthesized by the reaction of the (μ-H)Os₃(μ-O=CC₆H₅)(CO)₁₀ complex with allylamine in chloroform was determined by X-ray analysis. Prolonged storage of the reaction mixture led to N-C bond cleavage in allylamine and η³-addition of the allyl fragment at one of the Os atoms (Os-C 2.246 ?, 2.248 ?, and 2.273 ?). The unit cell parameters of the complex are a = 9.494(1) ?, b = 10.479(1) ?, c = 12.474(2) ?, α = 84.55(1)°, β = 70.08(1)°, γ = 70.72(1)°, V = 1255.8(4), ?³, space group P , Z = 2; C₁₉H₁₀O₁₀Os₃; d _calc = 2.922 g/cm³, 3085 I _hkl > 2σ _I of 3611 collected reflections; R = 0.0252. The structure of Os₃(μ,η²-O=CC₆H₅)(η³-C₃H₅)(CO)₉ is molecular. The plane of the Os₃ triangle and the OsCOOs plane are connected according to the “butterfly” principle with an angle of 103.4° between them. The Os-Os distances in the cluster core vary from 2.836(1) ? to 2.844(1) ?; the Os-C_carb distances are 1.88(1)–1.97(1) ?; the distances to the atoms of the bridging ligands are Os-C 2.11(1) ?, Os-O 2.14(1) ?; the O-C bridging bond is 1.24(1) ?. of the Os₃(μ,η²-O=CC₆H₅)(η³-C₃H₅)(CO)₉ triosmium cluster were studied theoretically. The potential curve of the internal rotation of the allyl ligand relative to the Os(1)-C(9) bond was determined. The rotation barrier of the allyl ligand in crystal relative to the Os(1)-C(9) bond is 8.38 kJ/mol, and the rotation of the ligand is not hindered. The effects of the intra-and intermolecular interactions on the conformation state of the cluster complex are considered. Original Russian Text Copyright ? 2008 by V. A. Maksakov, N. V.

1H NMR refinement of the structure of the guest sublattice and molecular dynamics in the ultrathin channels of [Zn2(C8H4O4)2(C6H12N2)]·n(H3C)2NCHO

Localization and molecular mobility of the ligands ([C₈H₄O₄]²⁺ and [C₆H₁₂N₂]⁰) of the host lattice and (CH₃)₂NCHO dimethyl formamide guest molecules in the inclusion compound [Zn₂(C₈H₄O₄)₂(C₆H₁₂N₂)]·n(H₃C)₂NCHO were studied on the basis of ¹H NMR data. At room temperature, the longest axes of the dimethyl formamide guest molecules are ordered in parallel to the C ₄ symmetry axes, and the symmetry planes of these molecules are disordered, while preserving the tetragonal crystal system of the inclusion compound. At lower temperatures, a phase transition takes place in view of the ordering in the guest sublattice. Original Russian Text Copyright ? 2009 by A. V. Sabylinskii, S. P. Gabuda, S. G. Kozlova, D. N.

Synthesis of the cyclooctadiene and cyclooctenediyl cobalt complexes. Structures of [(η2,η2-cyclooctadiene)Co(η-1,2,4,5-C6H2Me4)]BF4 and [(η1,η3-cyclooctenediyl)Co(η-9-SMe2-7,8-C2B9H10)

Cobaltacarboranes (η¹, η³-cyclooctenediyl)Co(Carb) (Carb = η-9-SMe₂-7,8-C₂B₉H₁₀, η-1-tBuHN-1,7,9-C₃B₈H₁₀) were synthesized by the reaction of the carborane anions [Carb]⁻ with the acetonitrile complex [(η¹, η³-cyclooctenediyl)Co(MeCN)₃]⁺ generated in situ upon the dissolution of [(η¹, η³-cyclooctenediyl)Co(η-1,4-C₆H₄Me₂)]⁺ in MeCN. The structures of (η¹,η³-cyclooctenediyl)Co(η-9-SMe₂-7,8-C₂B₉H₁₀ and [(η²,η²-cyclooctadiene)Co((η-1,2,4,5-C₆H₂Me₄)]BF₄ were determined by X-ray diffraction analysis.     

13C NMR spectra of coordinated propargyl cations [Cp2Mo2(CO)4(μ-η2,η3-(HC≡CCR1R2)]+ BF4/?

A strong deshielding effect is observed for the carbon signal of carbocation center (C⁺) in the ¹³C NMR spectra of coordinated propargyl cations [Cp₂Mo₂(CO)₄(μ-η²,η³-(HC≡CCR¹R²)]⁺ BF₄⁻ (R¹ = R² = H) 1, (R¹ = Me, R² = H) 2, and (R¹ = R² = Me) 3 when hydrogen is replaced by methyl; the effect increases with the Mo-C⁺ distance (75.37, 98.3, and 148.68 ppm for compounds 1, 2, and 3, respectively). This indicates that the back-donation of electron density from the metal onto the ligand makes a substantial contribution to the stabilization of these cations. Original Russian Text ? I.V.

Regioselectivity of the addition of ?CCl3 and ?But radicals to (η2-C70)[Os(CO)(PPh3)2(CNBut)]n (n = 1, 2): an ESR study

The addition of ^•CCl₃ and ^•Bu^t radicals to (η²-C₇₀)Os(CO)(PPh₃)₂(CNBu^t) (1) and (η²-C₇₀)[Os(CO)(PPh₃)₂(CNBu^t)]₂ (3) was studied by ESR spectroscopy. The metal fragment in complex 1 does not influence the regioselectivity of the addition of the radicals to it. The stability of the spin adducts formed upon addition of free radicals to complexes 1 and 3 is mainly governed by delocalization of the unpaired electron over three hexagonal rings.     

The QCT calculation of the rate constants for the N(4S)+O2(X3Σ g ? ) →NO(X2Π)+O(3P) reaction

A quasi-classical trajectory (QCT) calculation with the fourth-order explicit symplectic algorithm for the N(⁴S) + O₂(X³Σ_g⁻) → NO(X²Π) + O(³P) reaction has been performed by employing the ground and first-excited potential energy surfaces (PESs). Since the translational temperature considered is up to 5000 K, the larger relative translational energy and the higher vibrational and rotational level of O₂ molecule have been taken into account. The affect of the relative translational energy, the vibrational and rotational level of O₂ molecule in the reaction cross-sections of the ground and first-excited PESs has been discussed in a extensive range. And we exhibit the dependence of microscopic rate constants on the vibrational and rotational level of O₂ molecule at T = 4000 K. The thermal rate constants at the translational temperature betweem 300 and 5000 K have been evaluated and the corresponding Arrhenius curve has been fitted for reaction (1). It is found by comparison that the thermal rate constants determined in this work have a better agreement with the experimental data and provide a more valid theoretical reference.

A1∑+ State Lifetime and Predissociation of CuH

A combined cavity ringdown (CRD) and laser induced fluorescence (LIF) spectroscopic study on the A¹∑⁺-X¹∑⁺ transition of CuH has been presented.The CuH molecule,as well as its deuterated isotopologue CuD,are produced in a supersonic jet expansion by discharging H₂(or D₂) and Ar gas mixtures using two copper needles.Different profiles of relative line intensities are observed between the measured LIF and CRD spectra,providing an experimental evidence for the predissociation behavior in the A¹∑⁺ state of CuH.The lifetimes of individual upper rotational levels are measured by LIF,in which the J'-dependent predissociation rates are obtained.Based on the previous theoretical calculations,a predissociation mechanism is concluded due to the strong spin-orbit coupling between the A¹∑⁺ state and the lowest-lying triplet ³∑⁺ state,and a tunneling effect may also be involved in the predissociation.Similar experiments are also performed for CuD,showing that the A¹∑⁺ state of CuD does not undergo a predissociation process.

The cationic triple-decker complex with the bridging boratabenzene ligand [Cp*Fe(μ-η:η-C₅H₃Me₂BMe)Rh(η⁵-C₉H₂Me₅)]²⁺ (3) was synthesized by the reaction of the nitromethane solvate [(η⁵-C₉H₂Me₅)Rh(MeNO₂)₃]²⁺ with the sandwich compound Cp*Fe(η-C₅H₃Me₂BMe). The structure of 2 was established by X-ray diffraction. Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 8, pp. 1623–1625, August, 2008.
