Dielectric investigations of associate formation process in thin nitrobenzene interlayers formed between metal substrates

Studies of thickness and temperature dependencies of the dielectric susceptibility of nitrobenzene interlayers formed on conductive substrates were carried out. The obtained data were processed under the assumption of the existence of dimers (with opposite directions of molecular dipole moments) in orientationally ordered wall-adjacent layers. The results were treated on the basis of Lifshits theory.

Difference in micellar properties of sodium dodecyl sulfonate from sodium 4-decyl naphthalene sulfonate in D2O solution studied by 1H NMR relaxation and 2D NOESY

¹H chemical shift changes of sodium 4-decyl naphthalene sulfonate (SDNS) at 313 K show that its critical micellar concentration lies between 0.82 and 0.92 mmol/dm³, which is in the same range as that of the previous study at 298 K. The spin–lattice relaxation time, spin–spin relaxation time and two-dimensional nuclear Overhauser enhancement spectroscopy experiments give information about the structure of the SDNS micelle and the dynamics of the molecules in the micelle. The size of the SDNS micelle remains almost unchanged in the temperature range from 298 to 313 K as deduced by analyzing the self-diffusion coefficient. Special arrangement of the naphthyl rings of SDNS in the micelles affects the packing of these hydrophobic chains. The methylene groups of the alkyl chain nearest the naphthalene groups penetrate into the aromatic region, which results in a more tightly packed hydrophobic micellar core than that of sodium dodecyl sulfonate.     

Alternating copolyfluorenevinyles with polynuclear aromatic moieties: Synthesis,photophysics, and electroluminescence

Three new copolymers, namely poly(fluorenevinylene‐alt‐naphthalenevinylene) ( N ), poly(fluorenevinylene‐alt‐anthracenevinylene) ( A ) and poly(fluorenevinylene‐alt‐pyrenevinylene) ( P ), were synthesized by Heck coupling of 9,9‐dihexyl‐2, 7‐divinylfluorene with a polynuclear aromatic dibromide. The 9,10‐disubstituted anthracene was obtained exclusively for A while N and P were obtained as a mixture of two isomers with predominant the 1,4‐disubstituted naphthalene and 1,8‐disubstituted pyrene, respectively. The polymers were soluble in common organic solvents and decomposed above 370 °C. Their glass transition temperature increased from 58 to 110 °C by increasing the number of the phenyl rings of the polynuclear aromatic moiety. Rather high‐efficiency blue and blue‐greenish photoluminescence (PL) of these copolymers in solution was largely decreased in their films, indicating the presence of concentration quenching in the solid state. The OLED using these polymers demonstrated green EL in the case of copolymers N and A , and red EL in the P derivative with η_EL = 0.26–0.31%. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Effect of pressure on the solubility of naphthalene in water at 25°C

Solubility of naphthalene in water was measured at 25°C and pressures up to 200 MPa. The solubility decreased with increasing pressure. From the pressure coefficient of the solubility, the volume change V accompanying the dissolution was estimated as 13.8±0.4 cm ³ -mol ^–1 . Further we estimated the volume change V _CH accompanying hydrophobic hydration as –0.1±0.6 cm ³ -mol ^–1 using the V value, the molar volume of crystalline naphthalene, and the partial molar volume of naphthalene in n-heptane. This V _CH is much larger (i.e., less negative) than that for hydrophobic hydration of alkyl-chain compounds and suggests that the hydration structure of naphthalene differs from that of alkyl-chain compounds.     

Nuclear quadrupole resonance in 2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene

A study of the spin lattice relaxation (T₁) and the nuclear quadrupole resonance frequency (ν_Q) gives an important information about the dynamics of molecular groups in molecular solids. In the present paper, we analyze the contributions of the reorientational motion of nitro groups of 2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene to the NQR parameters of the chlorine nucleus in the molecule.

We found two contributions to T₁ and ν_Q due to the onset of the reorientation of nitro groups in the molecule; one of these contributions is mostly due to intermolecular effects in the crystal. For the chlorine nuclei, the efficiency of the modulation mechanism is usually provided by the change of the electric field gradient due to the moving molecular group; this gives us a way of how to assign each contribution to T₁ from the ortho and para positions of the NO₂ groups in the molecule. It is observed that there are two different potential barriers depending on the position of the nitro groups in the molecule. The behavior in the temperature dependence of the line width shows a thermal history dependence of the molecular crystal.     

氢化硝基苯合成对氨基酚中活性炭负载铂催化剂的新制备方法研究

采用不同还原剂（甲醛、甲酸、硼氢化钾和氢气）,或于还原Pt(IV)过程中引入少量Pt/AC(AC：活性炭)催化剂“催化”氢气分子,制备了Pt/AC催化剂。其催化氢化硝基苯制对氢基酚的反应结果表明,制备催化剂时所用的还原剂对催化剂的活性影响很大,但对反应选择性影响较小。用甲醛、甲酸和硼氢化钾还原制成的催化剂的活性皆较高;以氢气还原制得的催化剂活性较差;采用“催化”氢气还原法,可大大提高Pt/AC催化剂的活性,与传统甲醛还原法相比,甲酸和“催化”氢气还原制备Pt/AC催化剂的方法较简便、有效。     

Planar mono‐, di‐ aza‐ and phospha‐naphthalene: Structure and aromaticity

In this article, we used magnetic criteria, magnetic susceptibility isotropic and nucleus‐independent chemical shifts (NICS), calculated with (density functional theory) B3LYP levels at the 6‐31G** basis set, to evaluate aromaticity of a set of 29 planar bicyclic π‐electron systems: naphthalene and its mono‐ and di‐ aza‐ and phospha‐derivatives. The result showed significant collinearity of the above two magnetic criteria when evaluating N‐containing naphthalenes, but did not speak with the same voice when evaluating P‐containing naphthalenes. Thus, we could conclude that magnetic susceptibility is a reliable criterion and NICS is not in our case. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Quantum Chem, 2007     

Intramolecular Alkyne Coupling in the Reaction of 1,8-bis(phenylethynyl)naphthalene with Pt2Ru4(CO)18

The reaction of Pt₂Ru₄(CO)₁₈, 1 with 1,8-bis(phenylethynyl)naphthalene, 2 has yielded two metal carbonyl cluster complexes: Ru₂(CO)₆[- ²-C₁₀H₆C₄Ph₂], 3 (60% yield) and Ru₂Pt(CO)₆[- ²-C₁₀H₆C₄Ph₂]₂, 4 (8% yield). Both compounds were characterized by a single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Both products were formed as a result of fragmentation of the Pt₂Ru₄ cluster of 1. Compound 3 contains two ruthenium atoms. They are bridged by a tricyclic C₁₀H₆C₄Ph₂ ligand formed by the coupling of the two -carbon atoms of the alkyne groups. The -carbon atoms of the alkynes are -bonded to one of the ruthenium atoms to form a metallacycle and this entire group is -bonded to the second ruthenium atom. Compound 4 contains two ruthenium atoms with a platinum atom between them. This molecule contains two tricyclic C₁₀H₆C₄Ph₂ ligands similar to that in 3, and two metallacycles formed by coordination of the -carbon atoms of both ligands to the platinum atom. One ligand is -bonded to each of the ruthenium atoms.
