35Cl NQR study of CCl3 reorientations in the carbonyl-containing derivatives of 3,3,3-trichloropropene

Temperature dependences of³⁵Cl NQR frequencies and spin-lattice relaxation times were measured for the CCl₃ groups of compounds CCl₃CH=CHR and CCl₃CH=CR₂ with R=COCH₃ and COOCH₃. The activation energies of CCl₃ reorientations reflect the significant contribution of intermolecular steric interactions to the value of the potential barrier hindering these reorientations. In the CCl₃CH=CHCOCH₃ crystal, the reorientations of the CCl₃ group are hindered more than those of the molecule as a whole. Perm State University.

Structure and rotational isomerism of chloroacetyl chloride molecules

The structure of chloroacetyl chloroide (CH₂ClCOCl) molecule in different conformations arising from rotation of the CH₂Cl group about the C-C bond was determined by the Hartree-Fock RHF/6-31G(d) quantum-chemical calculations. The energy difference between the two stable rotamers was estimated at 5.9 kJ mol^?1, and barriers to intramolecular reorientations of the CH₂Cl group were calculated.     

35Cl NQR spectra and molecular structure of cyclic chlorophosphoranes

The structure of chlorine-containing cyclic pentacoordinated phosphorus compounds has been studied by³⁵Cl NQR. The distortion of molecular geometry from trigonal bipyramid to tetragonal pyramid in going from monocyclic phosphoranes to spiro phosphoranes and the corresponding changes in the NQR spectrum are discussed.Perm State University.

Structural characteristics of chlorine-substituted diazadienes in the solid state from35NQR data

The quadrupole resonance spectra and the quadrupole spin-lattice relaxation times of the³⁵Cl nuclei are correlated with the molecular structures of the two chlorine-containing diazadienes CCl₃CCl=NCCl=NC₆H₅ and CCl₃CCl=NCCl=NCCl₂CCl₃. The monotropic polymorphism found in the case of the second crystal is discussed.Perm State University. Translated from Zhurnal Strukturnoi Khimii, Vol. 34, No. 2, pp. 84–87, March–April, 1993.     

Structure and Conformational Stability of 1,3-Dihalo-2,2,4,4-tetrachloro-1λ3,3λ3-diphosphetidines

The optimal geometry of isomeric molecules of (XP-CCl₂)₂ with X = F, Cl, Br was determined by RHF/6-31G(d) calculations. With X = F and Cl, the electronic correlation was considered on the MP2/6-31G(d) level. The P₂C₂ ring is nonplanar. With X = Cl and Br, the trans conformation is energetically preferable compared to the two possible cis conformations: by 7.8 and 14.2 kJ mol^{- 1} for X = Cl and by 7.5 and 14.1 kJ mol^{- 1} with X = Br. respectively. With X = F, the calculated energies of the cis and trans forms are very close.     

Finitely generated profinitely dense free groups in higher rank semi-simple groups

We prove that if is an arithmetic subgroup of a non-compact linear semi-simple groupG such that the associated simply connected algebraic group over has the so-called congruence subgroup property, then contains a finitely generated profinitely dense free subgroup. As a corollary we obtain af·g·p·d·f subgroup of SL _n () (n 3. More generally, we prove that if is an irreducible arithmetic non-cocompact lattice in a higher rank group, then containsf·g·p·d·f groups.Partially supported by GIF grant No. G-454-213.06/95
