Photoinduced rotational isomerization mechanism of 2-chlorobenzaldehyde in low-temperature rare-gas matrices by vibrational and electronic spectroscopies

Rotational isomerization of 2-chlorobenzaldehyde in low-temperature rare-gas matrices has been investigated by vibrational and electronic spectroscopies with aids of the density functional theory (DFT) and configuration interaction single (CIS) calculations. Infrared spectrum of the less stable O-cis isomer, produced from the more stable O-trans isomer upon UV irradiation, is measured with an FT-IR spectrophotometer. The enthalpy difference between the O-cis and O-trans isomers is estimated to be 9.7±0.2 kJ mol⁻¹ from the temperature dependence of the infrared band intensities. Analyses of the infrared and electronic absorption spectral changes after UV irradiation and the phosphorescence spectra measured at various excitation wavelengths suggest that the rotational isomerization occurs via the intersystem crossing from S₁ to T₁.     

2-Phosphinothioyl- and 2-phosphinoylethylcyclopentadienyl zirconium and titanium complexes. Crystal structure of [η5:η1-C5H4CH2CH2P(O)Ph2]TiCl3

The intracomplex conversion of (2-diphenylphosphanoethyl)cyclopentadienyl zirconium and titanium complexes into the corresponding 2-phosphinothioyl and 2-phosphinoyl derivatives, viz., (η⁵-C₅H₅)[η ⁵-C₅H₄CH₂CH₂P(S)Ph₂]ZrCl₂, [η⁵-C₅H₄CH₂CH₂P(S)Ph₂]ZrCl₃, [η⁵:η¹C₅H₄CH₂CH₂P(O)Ph₂]ZrCl₃·THF, and [η⁵:η ¹-C₅H₄CH₂CH₂P(O)Ph₂]TiCl₃ (7), was performed. The NMR spectroscopy data revealed the following order of the coordination ability of the functional groups with respect to the Zr center: Ph₂P=O > Ph₂P > Ph₂P=S. An analogous order was found for the monodentate ligands (Ph₃P=O > Ph₃P > Ph₃P=S) with respect to (η⁵-C₅H₅)ZrCl₃. The molecular structure of complex 7 was established by X-ray diffraction analysis. Coordination of the Ph₂P=O group to the titanium atom was found retained both in the crystalline state and solution.__________Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

X-ray spectroscopic characterization of Cu2+-phenanthroline complexes intercalated in α-zirconium phosphate

X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy provides evidence that when [Cu(phen)₂]²⁺(phen = 1,10-phenanthroline) is diffused between the layers of -zirconium phosphate, the complex species does not remain intact after intercalation, but some Cu-N bonds are broken, replaced with Cu-O bonds and the released nitrogen atoms can now interact with the PO₃-OH groups of the host. XPS also provides evidence for coordination of the Cu²⁺ ions when they are diffused by ion exchange in the phenanthroline--zirconium phosphate intercalation compound. Although Cu²⁺ and phen are in a 1 : 1 molar ratio in the interlayer region of the host, so that a 1 : 1 coordination could be expected between the two species, the characteristic peaks of the uncoordinated phenanthroline, even though at a low intensity, are still present. The differences between the two Cu(II)-intercalation compounds are discussed.     

X-ray and IR spectroscopic studies of specific intermolecular interactions inN′-substituted isonicotinohydrazides

_N-Thenylidene- andN-(o-nitrobenzylidene)hydrazides of isonicotinic acid have been studied by X-ray structural analysis and IR spectroscopy. In the crystalline state, these molecules are linked through intermolecular N—H ... Np_y hydrogen bonds. Carbonyl groups are not involved in intermolecular hydrogen bonds. However, it was found that the C=O group participates in an attractive interaction with the sulfur atom of the thiophene group. The energy of this interaction is comparable with the energies of intermolecular C=O ... H—N hydrogen bonds in amides.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Crystal Structures of the Potassium and Silver Salts of Nitroform

The solid state structures of three nitroformate (NF) salts were determined using single crystal X‐ray crystallography. The NF anion was found to be a non‐planar moiety which adopts either the commonly observed C_2v conformation or distorted propeller conformation (D₃) in the case of the silver salts, or, a C₂ conformation in the case of the potassium salt. This latter C₂ conformation has been uniquely observed for potassium nitroformate. All structures exhibit cation‐anion interactions that influence the structure of the anion. The ¹³C and ¹⁴N NMR spectra of the NF anion show broad singlets, which indicates the equivalence of the nitro groups in solution within the NMR time‐scale. In addition, the vibrational and mass spectra of potassium nitroformate and silver nitroformate monohydrate were recorded. Furthermore, the gaseous decomposition products of potassium nitroformate at 25 °C were detected using IR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry.     

Study of adsorption of methylene blue and new methylene blue in liquid-solid interface by slab optical waveguide spectroscopy

A slab optical waveguide (SOWG) has been used for study of adsorption of both methylene blue (MB) and new methylene blue (NMB) in liquid–solid interface. Adsorption characteristics of MB and NMB on both bare SOWG and silanized SOWG by octadecyltrichlorosilane (ODS) were compared. Effect of pH on adsorption on MB and NMB was investigated. Binding rate constant analysis showed that both MB and NMB on bare SOWG demonstrates larger association constants than those on ODS-SOWG. Interactions of MB and NMB on bare SOWG and ODS-SOWG were analyzed by molecular mechanics calculation method. The binding energy change was in the following order: E_NMB–bare > E_MB–bare > E_NMB–ODS > E_MB–ODS.     

Effect of film thickness on the electro-reduction of molecular oxygen on electropolymerized cobalt tetra-aminophthalocyanine films

We studied the electrocatalytic activity of cobalt tetra-aminophthalocyanine (CoTAPc) for the reduction of molecular oxygen (O₂) on adsorbed monomeric and on electropolymerized films of different thicknesses on glassy carbon (GC) electrode. The polymeric films, denoted poly-CoTAPc, were first characterized by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and it appears that the types of phenomena revealed to be occurring depend less on the film thickness in basic than in acid media. For O₂ reduction, the results showed that poly-CoTAPc is more active than the monomeric CoTAPc adsorbed on GC. Indeed, rotating ring-disk electrode data showed that polymeric CoTAPc promotes the four-electron reduction of O₂ to water in parallel to a two-electron reduction to give peroxide. On monomeric and thin films of poly-CoTAPc, a two-electron reduction mechanism predominates. In basic media the activity increases very slightly with thickness, whereas in acid media this increase is more pronounced. This parallels the observed behavior revealed by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy.     

NMR spectra of paramagnetic complexes of 1-vinylimidazole with iron group metals

The high-resolution ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra of 1-vinylimidazole complexes with iron group metals were recorded. The contact coupling in these systems was established in the ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra. The applicability of the NMR spectra transformed by long-range hyperfine coupling for elucidating the molecular structure of the ligand was shown. Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Complexation of a Macrocycle Containing Thiopyrimidine and Uracil Moieties with Dicarboxylic and Amino Acids in Various Organic and Aqueous Organic Solutions

The complexation of a macrocycle containing thiopyrimidine and uracil moieties (M) with amino acids and some dicarboxylic acids was studied by pH-metric, UV-VIS, ¹H NMR spectroscopy methods in chloroform, methanol, aqueous 1,4-dioxane, and biphasic water–chloroform media. The complexation of M with acids is too weak to solubilize them from the solid state into chloroform solutions containing M. The ¹H NMR spectra and pH-metric data of aqueous 1,4-dioxane (80 vol.%) reveal the pH-dependent 1:1 binding between M and the acids studied. The protonation of M is not a prerequisite for binding of fumaric, succinic, o-phtalic acids and the series of amino acids, whereas binding of maleic acid requires the protonation of both thiopyrimidine moieties of M. Therefore,M·(H⁺)₂ exhibits strong selectivity towards maleic acid in aqueous 1,4-dioxane and in biphasic water–chloroform media.
