Darstellung,Eigenschaften und Kristallstruktur von Bis(phthalocyaninato)cer(IV)

Preparation, Properties and Crystal Structure of Bis(phthalocyaninato)cerium(IV) The anodic or chemical oxidation with dibenzoylperoxide of solutions of bis(phthalocyaninato)cerate(III) in dichloromethane yields selectively sparely soluble bis(phthalocyaninato)cerium(IV), [Ce(Pc(2-)) 2 ]. Green, monoclinic needles cristallize with a = 18.783(12) Å b = 18.739(16) Å c= 15.618(10) Å ß114.30(7)°; Z = 4; space group C2/c. [Ce(Pc(2–)) 2 ] is a sandwich complex in which the cerium Atom is eightfold coordinated by the isoindole nitrogens of the two staggered convex Pc-rings. The u.v.-vis., m.i.r., f.i.r. and resonance Raman spectra are consistent with the structure.     

An efficient ab initio gradient program

An ab initio Hartree-Fock gradient program is described. It is characterized by (1) efficiency of the gradient evaluation, and (2) capability of handling higher angular momentum (d andf) basis functions. The latter are constructed from shifted Cartesian Gaussian p-type primitives. A satisfactory solution is presented for the problems connected with the neglect of small integrals in a gradient program. Methods for increasing the efficiency of the SCF procedure are discussed.     

Interactions of proteins with uniform colloidal hematite and chromium hydroxide particles. I. Adsorption

The adsorption of ovalbumin, -globulin, and lysozyme on uniform spherical hematite and chromium hydroxide particles in aqueous media has been studied as a function of the pH at a constant ionic strength. The uptake of ovalbumin and -globulin was greatest at their isoelectric points and differed little at 10^–2 and 10^–3 mol dm^–3 NaNO₃. The adsorption of lysozyme was strongly influenced by the ionic strength.The deposition of ovalbumin on hematite in the presence of Mg (NO₃)₂ was significantly greater than that with NaNO₃ under otherwise comparable conditions. Dialysis experiments with ovalbumin against magnesium nitrate solutions showed Mg²⁺ to be specifically bound to the protein.The shapes of isotherms indicated monolayer coverage for ovalbumin and multilayer coating for lysozyme for both adsorbents. The shapes of isotherms of -globulin on hematite point to a rearrangement of the protein on the particle surface, while a monolayer was found on chromium hydroxide particles.Supported by the NSF Grant CHE-9108420Part of a Ph.D. thesis     

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.

Tetramethyldisilane-1,2-diyl bridged Dicyclopentadienyl and Diindenyl Metal Dichlorides of the Group 4 Metals – Crystal Structure of Dicyclopentadienyl and diindenyl metal dichlorides of the type Cp′? SiMe₂SiMe₂? Cp′MCl₂ (Cp′ = C₅H₄, M = Ti ( 1 ), Zr ( 2 ), Hf ( 3 ); Cp′ = C₉H₇, M = Zr ( 4 ), Hf ( 5 )) were synthesized and characterized by means of their ¹H, ¹³C, ²⁹Si-n.m.r., MS, and IR spectra. The crystal structure of 2 was determined.     

Additions- und SubstitutionsReaktionen an Tetrafluor- und Tetrachlordiboran(4)

Addition and Substitution Reactions at Tetrafluoro- and Tetrachlorodiborane(4) From equimolar mixtures of B₂F₄ and Me_nN(SiMe₃)_3-n (n = 0–3) the mono-addition products 1–4 are formed at low temperatures. By elimination of Me₃SiF the adduct 2 gives the dimeric monosubstituted diborane 8 , which slowly decomposes at room temperature to the aminoborane 6 and (BF)_n. The course of the reactions was studied by means of ¹¹B and ¹⁹F NMR spectroscopy and by measuring the vapor pressures. According to the ¹¹B and ³¹P NMR spectra the reaction of B₂Cl₄ with PCl₅ or [Me₄N]Cl in liquid hydrogen chloride at 0°C does not yield [PCl₄]₂⁺[B₂Cl₆]^2? or [Me₄N]₂⁺[B₂Cl₆]^2? but gives [PCl₄]⁺[BCl₄]^?, PCl₃ and BCl₃ or [Me₄N]⁺[BCl₄]^? and BCl₃ besides (BCl)_n.     

Molekulares S=GeCl2 Matrix-IR-Untersuchungen und ab initio SCF-Rechnungen

The Molecule S?GeCl₂. Matrix IR Investigation and Ab initio SCF Calculation Molecular S?GeCl₂ is found in a matrix reaction between the high-temperature molecule Ge?S and Cl₂. A structure analog to that of phosgene can be derived from the isotopical shifts (⁷⁰Ge/⁷²Ge/⁷³Ge/⁷⁴Ge/⁷⁶Ge and ³⁵Cl/³⁷Cl) within the IR spectra. The normal coordinate analysis results for the Ge?S force constant a value of 4.21 mdyn/Å. The spectroscopic results are confirmed by ab initio SCF calculations.     

Titanocen-cyandithioformiat-Komplexe

The reaction of titanocene dichloride,Cp ₂TiCl₂ (Cp=⁵-C₅H₅), with one or two equivalents of sodium cyanodithioformate affords the new mono- or bis(dithiocarboxylato) derivativesCp ₂TiCl(S₂CCN) (1) andCp ₂Ti(S₂CCN)₂ (2). Elimination of sulfur converts2 into the metallacyclicCp ₂TiS₂C₂(CN)₂ (3), which does not react with the diene isoprene, but can be reconverted into the appropriate titanocene dihalides by chlorine or bromine.

     

Linear silver clusters in aqueous solution (clusterites): radiation-induced chemical synthesis and properties

The formation and properties of the products of the radiation-induced chemical reduction of silver ions in aqueous solutions containing sodium polyacrylate were investigated. The absorption spectra of these species exhibit a band at 290 mn and a band in the visible region. The latter shifts from 470 nm to -800 nm with time or after the addition of silver ions. The species obtained (clusterites) arc linear silver clusters bound to the carboxyl groups of the ion exchanger. The red shift of the visible band is due to the increase in their size. The mechanism of the formation and the structure of the clusterites are discussed.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 6, pp. 1429–1435, June, 1996.
