Theoretical rotational-vibrational spectra of theX 3 B 1,a 1 A 1 andb 1 B 1 states of NH 2 +

Summary The three-dimensional potential energy functions have been calculated from highly correlated multireference configuration interaction electronic wavefunctions for theX ³ B ₁,a ¹ A ₁, andb ¹ B ₁ states of the NH ₂ ⁺ ion. For the quasi-linear electronic ground state this information and the electric dipole moment functions have been used to calculate spectroscopic constants, line intensities and rotationally resolved absorption spectra. For thea ¹ A ₁-b ¹ B ₁ bent/quasi-linear Renner-Teller system ro-vibronic energy levels have been obtained from a variational approach accounting for anharmonicity, rotation-vibration and electronic angular momenta coupling effects. The vibronic levels are given for energies up to 13 500 cm^–1 for the bending levels and up to 8000 cm^–1 for the stretching and combination levels.Dedicated in the honor of Prof. Werner Kutzelnigg

Synthesis of 5-substituted 1-aryl-1H-pyrazole-4-acetonitriles, 4-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazole-3-carbonitriles and pharmacologically active 1-aryl-1H-pyrazole-4-acetic acids

Lithium aluminum hydride reduction of 5-substituted or unsubstituted ethyl or methyl 1-aryl-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylates gave, generally in excellent yields, 5-substituted or unsubstituted 1-aryl-1H-pyrazole-4-methanols which afforded the corresponding 1-aryl-4-(bromomethyl)-1H-pyrazoles with hydrobromic acid in acetic acid solution. These crude intermediates gave by reaction with potassium cyanide in dimethylsulfoxide solution 1-aryl-1H-pyrazole-4-acetonitriles only in the case of 5-unsubstituted compounds, otherwise mixtures of 5-substituted 1-aryl-1H-pyrazole-4-acetonitriles and 4-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazole-3-carbonitriles were generally obtained. Acetonitriles IIIa,b,i,l gave in excellent yields the corresponding 1-aryl-1H-pyrazole-4-acetic acids Va,b,i,l by alkaline hydrolysis. Compounds Vb,i,l showed in the writhing test appreciable analgesic properties, associated with low acute toxicity; moreover, compound VI exhibited a statistically significant antiinflammatory activity in the carrageenan-induced edema assay.     

Gas permeability and stability of poly(1-trimethylsilyl-1-propyne-co-1-phenyl-1-propyne) membranes

A significant reduction in the gas permeability of the poly(1-trimethylsilyl-1-propyne) (PMSP) membrane was investigated in terms of the membrane thickness and the storage environment. The effects of physical aging were observed with thinner membranes and under vacuum conditions compared with storage in air. The decrease in the permeability coefficient was dependent on the decrease in the hole saturation constant of Langmuir adsorption (C'_H), which is related to the volume of the microvoids. Physical aging in the PMSP membrane affected not only the glassy domain but also the rubbery one. To stabilize the permeability of the PMSP membrane, a poly(1-trimethylsilyl-1-propyne-co-1-phenyl-1-propyne) [poly(TMSP-co-PP)] membrane was prepared. Poly(TMSP-co-PP) has the same unit of poly(1-phenyl-1-propyne), which membrane has stable permeability. The poly(TMSP-co-PP) with less than 20 mol % PP content was estimated to be a random copolymer based on theoretical gas permeation analysis. In the poly(TMSP-co-PP) membrane, the relation between the PP content and C'_H was similar to the relation between the PP content and the gas permeability. The stability of the permeability was dependent on the PP content. The poly(TMSP-co-PP) membrane containing 10 mol % PP had both high permeability and good stability under some of the aging conditions performed in this work. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Photoinduced Double Addition of Acetylene to 3-Oxocyclopent-1-ene-1-carbonitrile or 3-oxocyclopent-1-enyl acetate leading to 2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-1-one and other rearranged products

UV Irradiation of 3-oxocyclopent-1-enyl acetate ( 17 ) and acetylene in MeCN at 0° gives, besides the product of normal enone-alkyne [2 + 2] cycloaddition (cis-4-oxobicyclo[3.2.0] hept-6-en-1-yl acetate, 18 ) and its product of oxa-di-π-methane rearrangement (5-oxotricyclo[4.1.0.0^2,7]hept-2-yl acetate, 19 ), unexpected products of further addition of a molar equivalent of acetylene. These are indanone ( = 2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-1-one, 16 ), in 21% yield, cis-1-cisoid-1,2-cis-2- ( 20 ) and cis-1-transoid-1,2-cis-2-7-oxotricyclo[4.3.0.0^2,5]non-3-en-1-yl acetate ( 21 ), 4-oxo-7-‘exo’-vinyltricyclo[3.2.0.0^2,6]hept-2-yl acetate ( 22 ), cis-4-oxo-6-‘endo’- ( 23 ) and cis-4-oxo-6-‘exo’-vinylbicyclo[3.2.0]hept-1-yl acetate ( 24 ), and cis-4-oxo-7-‘exo’-vinylbicyclo[3.2.0]hept-1-yl acetate ( 25 ). At least in part, indanone must be formed via intermediates 20 and 21 . In fact, on heating a 9:1 mixture 20/21 , indanone is obtained quantitatively. With 3-oxocyclopent-1-ene-1-carbonitrile ( 15 ) in place of 17 , indanone is formed in lower (8%) yield besides much tars.     

Polymerization of 1-methylthio-1-alkynes and polymer properties

Polymerization of 1-methylthio-1-alkynes (MeSC?CR; R = Et, n-Bu, n-C₆H₁₃, and n-C₈H₁₇) was studied by use of transition metal catalysts. A 1 : 2 mixture of MoCl₅ and Ph₃SiH provided polymers having M?_w over 1 × 10⁵ in 30–50% yields from these monomers. The length of the alkyl group hardly affected the polymerization. The monomer, MeSC?C-n-C₆H₁₃, showed low reactivity in homopolymerization, but higher reactivity than that of MeC?C-n-C₅H₁₁ in copolymerization. Poly(1-methylthio-1-alkyne)s were colorless solids, and those with long alkyl pendants (R = n-C₆H₁₃, n-C₈H₁₇) were soluble in various organic solvents. The present polymers were thermally more stable than poly(2-alkyne)s, the corresponding hydrocarbon polymers.     

New synthesis of chalcogenolactones. 1H,3H-benzo[c]selenophen-1-one, 1H,3H-benzo[c]tellurophen-1-one and the related 3,4-dihydro-1H-2-benzoselenin-1-one and 3,4-dihydro-1H-2-benzotellurin-1-one

The synthesis of three new basic heterocyclic systems namely, 1H,3H-benzo[c]tellurophen-1-one (2-tellurophthalide), 3,4-dihydro-1H-2-benzoselenin-1-one (3,4-dihydro-2-isoselenocoumarin) and 3,4-dihydro-1H-2-benzotellurin-1-one (3,4-dihydro-2-isotellurocoumarin), is reported through the cyclisation of o-(bromoalkyl)benzoyl chlorides.     

The X˜1A1, a˜3B1, a˜1B˜1, and B˜1A1 electronic states of SiH2

Four electronically low-lying states of silylene (SiH₂) have been studied systematically using high level ab initio electronic structure theory. Self-consistent field (SCF), two-configuration (TC) SCF, complete active space (CAS) SCF, configuration interaction with single and double excitations (CISD), and CASSCF second-order (SO) CI levels of theory were employed with eight distinct basis sets. The zeroth-order wave functions of the ground (X˜ ¹A₁ or 1 ¹A₁) and B˜ ¹A₁ (or 2 ¹A₁) excited states are appropriately described by the first and second eigenvectors of the TCSCF secular equations. The TCSCF-CISD, CASSCF, and CASSCF-SOCI wave functions for the B˜ ¹A₁ (or 2 ¹A₁) state were obtained by following the second root of the CISD, CASSCF, and SOCI Hamiltonian matrices. At the highest level of theory, the CASSCF-SOCI method with the triple zeta plus triple polarization augmented with two sets of higher angular momentum functions and two sets of diffuse functions basis set [TZ3P(2f,2d)+2diff], the energy separation (T₀) between the ground (X˜ ¹A₁) and first excited (a˜ ³B₁) states is determined to be 20.5 kcal/mol (0.890eV,7180cm⁻¹), which is in excellent agreement with the experimental T₀ value of 21.0 kcal/mol (0.910eV,7340cm⁻¹). With the same method the T₀ value for the a˜ ¹B₁−X˜ ¹A₁ separation is predicted to be 45.1 kcal/mol (1.957 eV,15780 cm⁻¹), which is also in fine agreement with the experimental value of 44.4 kcal/mol (1.925 eV,15530 cm⁻¹). The T₀ value for the B˜ ¹A₁−X˜ ¹A₁ separation is determined to be 79.6 kcal/mol (3.452 eV,27 840 cm⁻¹). After comparison of theoretical and experimental T₀ values for the a˜ ³B₁ and a˜ ¹B₁ states and previous studies, error bars for the B˜ ¹A₁ state are estimated to be ±1.5 kcal/mol (±525 cm⁻¹). The predicted geometry of the B˜ ¹A₁ state is r_e(SiH)=1.458 and θ_e=162.3^∘. The physical properties including harmonic vibrational frequencies of the B˜ ¹A₁ state are newly determined.

Study of Intermolecular Interaction in Dimethylsulphoxide + 1-Alkanols (1-Butanol, 1-Hexanol, 1-Octanol) At 303.15 K

Abstract

The ultrasonic velocity, u, viscosity, η, and density, ρ of dimethylsulphoxide (DMSO), 1-butanol, 1-hexanol, 1-octanol, and of their binary mixtures, where DMSO is common component, have been measured at 303.15 K. From the experimental data, excess isentropic compressibility, K ^E _s, excess intermolecular free length, L^E _f, excess velocity, u ^E, excess acoustic impedance, Z ^E, excess viscosity, η^E, excess free energy of activation of viscous flow, G?^E, and excess rheochore, [R ^E] have been calculated. The behaviours of excess functions with composition of the mixtures suggest that the structure-breaking effect dominates over the interaction effect between the component molecules. Furthermore, the experimental values of u and η were fitted by empirical equations stating their dependence on composition of the mixtures. The experimental values of u have been compared with those calculated by using Nomoto and Van Dael relations.     

Stereoselective epoxidation of 2-arylidene-1-indanones and 2-arylidene-1-benzosuberones

Summary Oxidation of the (E) and (Z) isomers of 2-arylidene-1-indanones (1) and 2-arylidene-1-benzosuberones (4) by alkaline hydrogen peroxide (methodi) afforded the spiroepoxidestrans-2a–g andtrans-5a–g from both isomers as sole products in high yields. On the other hand, dimethyldioxirane epoxidation(methodii) of the (E) isomers1a–g and4a–g gave the correspondingtrans spiroepoxides in good yields, whereas the (Z) isomers1a,c,e and4a,c,e led to thecis spiroepoxides in moderate yields. Dimethyldioxirane oxidation (methodii) of (Z)-1c and (Z)-4c,e gave diones3c and6c,e as by-products as well. Epoxidation of (Z)-1a,c,e and (Z)-4a,c,e bym-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (methodiii) resulted inca. 6:1 mixtures ofcis-2a,c,e andtrans-2a,c,e orcis-5a,c,e andtrans-5a,c,e spiroepoxides.Dedicated to Prof.W. Fleischhacker on the occasion of his 65^th birthday     

Structural Characterization and Thermal Behavior of 1-Amino-1-methylamino-2,2-dinitroethylene

A novel high energetic material, 1‐amino‐1‐methylamino‐2,2‐dinitroethylene (AMFOX‐7), was synthesized through 1,1‐diamino‐2,2‐dinitroethylene (FOX‐7) reacting with methylamine in N‐methyl pyrrolidone (NMP) at 80.0°C, and its structure was determined by single crystal X‐ray diffraction. The crystal is monoclinic, space group P2₁/m with crystal parameters of a=6.361(3) Å, b=7.462(4) Å, c=6.788(3) Å, β=107.367(9)°, V=307.5(3) ų, Z=2, µ=0.160 mm^?1, F(000)=168, D_c=1.751 g·cm^?3, R₁=0.0463 and wR₂=0.1102. Thermal decomposition of AMFOX‐7 was studied, and the enthalpy, apparent activation energy and pre‐exponential constant of the exothermic decomposition reaction are 303.0 kJ·mol^?1, 230.7 kJ·mol^?1 and 10^21.03 s^?1, respectively. The critical temperature of thermal explosion is 245.3°C. AMFOX‐7 has higher thermal stability than FOX‐7.     

Synthesis of 1-Aryl-1H-pyrazolecarbonitriles and related derivatives

The synthesis of 1-aryl-5-cyano-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylic acid, ethyl esters 1 is described. Subsequent chemistry led to relatively simple and unique pyrazole derivatives. Most important of these are 1-aryl-5-(aminocarbonyl)-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylic acids 2, which are chemical hybridizing agents in wheat and barley. The regioselective hydrolysis of 1-(3-chlorophenyl)-1H-pyrazole-4,5-dicarboxylic acid, dimethyl ester (7b) and subsequent chemistry is also described.     

Verticine ethanol hydrate (2/1/1)

The two symmetry‐independent mol­ecules of the title compound, cevane‐3β,6α,20‐triol ethanol hydrate (2/1/1), 2C₂₇H₄₅NO₃·C₂H₆O·H₂O, have the same stereochemical assignments. The six‐membered rings A, B, E and F are in the chair conformation, while ring D is in a boat conformation. The ring fusions are A/Btrans, B/Ctrans, C/Dcis, D/Etrans and E/Ftrans. The verticine mol­ecules are bridged by water and ethanol mol­ecules via hydrogen bonds to form two‐dimensional layers, and the crystal structure is built up by stacking of these layers.

A 1H NMR study of tautomerism in some 1-arylamino-3-aryliminopropenes

¹H n.m.r. spectra at ambient temperatures reveal that an equilibrium exists between the ‘all-trans’ and ‘all-cis’ isomers of some of the 1-arylamino-3-aryliminopropenes. The ‘all-cis’ isomer predominates in nonpolar solvents, whereas the ‘all-trans’ isomer is favoured in hydrogen bonding solvents. From a consideration of the magnitudes of the ³J coupling constants, it is reported that the ‘cis-trans’ isomer is the most stable form of the 4-nitrophenyl derivative in dimethyl sulphoxide.     

Estimation of minima in 1A1 states of the ozone molecule

Calculations have been made at the minima of the X¹A₁ ground state of the ozone molecule. The equilibrium geometries have been obtained by means of CID calculations. The criterion adopted for the choice of configurations gives realistic results. CIPSI calculations at the two minima lead to an estimated gap of 0.92 eV between them. Our results agree with the analysis of previous theoretical works on the relative stability of open and cyclic zone structures, showing that the D_3h minimum is stable relative to the ground state dissociation limit.
