The effective direct correlation function,an approach to the theory of liquid solutions: A new definition of the effective solute potential

A Mayer graph analysis of the solute effective direct correlation function c₀₀^eff(1,2) for a binary fluid mixture is presented. The function c₀₀^eff(1,2) is defined in terms of the solute pair correlation function h₀₀(1,2) by a one-component effective Ornstein-Zernike relation. The graphical series for c₀₀^eff(1,2) is shown to be identical to the series for the direct correlation function of a pure fluid except that pure fluid f-bonds are replaced by effective f-bonds f₀₀^eff(1,2) which exactly include the effects of solvent-solute interaction. An effective solute-solute potential W₀₀(1,2) is defined by the relation f₀₀^eff(1,2) = exp[-βW₀₀(1,2)] - 1. A graphical series for W₀₀(1,2) is presented. This single effective solute pair potential plays a role in the present formulation analogous to the role the infinite set of n-particle solute potentials plays in the McMillan-Mayer theory.     

First synthesis of (1,2-C2)-monolignol glucosides

The monolignol glucosides (1,2-¹³C₂)-p-glucocoumaryl alcohol, (1,2-¹³C₂)-coniferin and (1,2-¹³C₂)-syringin, and the glucosides of (1,2-¹³C₂)-p-coumaric, (1,2-¹³C₂)-ferulic and (1,2-¹³C₂)-sinapic acids were synthesized by condensation of the corresponding aldehydes with (1,2,3-¹³C₃)-malonic acid. The free acids were converted to the acyl chlorides prior to their reduction to alcohols.     

Reactions of 2-hydroxy-5-(1-adamantyl)benzene-1,3-dicarbaldehyde with ethane-1,2-diamine, trans-cyclohexane-1,2-diamine, and N-(2-aminoethyl)ethane-1,2-diamine

Reactions of 2-hydroxy-5-(1-admantyl)benzene-1,3-dicarbaldehyde with ethane-1,2-diamine, transcyclohexane-1,2-diamine, and N-(2-aminoethyl)ethane-1,2-diamine were studied in strongly dilute solution and under conditions of template synthesis in the presence of H₃BO₃. The effects of reaction conditions and initial diamine structure on the cyclocondensation process were determined. Selective [3 + 3]-cyclocondensation of 2-hydroxy-5-(1-admantyl)benzene-1,3-dicarbaldehyde with trans-cyclohexane-1,2-diamine and [2 + 2]-cyclization with N-(2-aminoethyl)ethane-1,2-diamine were performed in chloroform in the presence of H₃BO₃. The first representative of adamantylcalixsalens was synthesized.     

New non-C2-symmetric phosphine-phosphonites as ligands in asymmetric metal catalysis

Starting from 1,2-dibromobenzene, the synthesis of N,N,N′,N′-tetraethyl-[2-(diphenylphosphino)phenyl]phosphonous acid tetraamide is possible in two simple steps. This key compound reacts with a variety of chiral diols such as (R)- and (S)-binaphthol, 1,2:5,6-diisopropylidene-d-mannitol or (1R,2R)-1,2-diphenyl-1,2-ethane diol to form the corresponding non-C₂-symmetric phosphine-phosphonite compounds. These ligands react with Rh(COD)₂BF₄ to form bidentate Rh-complexes which serve as catalysts in the asymmetric hydrogenation of dimethyl itaconate with ee values of up to 88%.     

Synthesis of hetero-substituted derivatives of cobalt bis(1,2-dicarbollide)

A new approach to synthesis of hetero-substituted derivatives of cobalt bis(1,2-dicarbollide) was proposed. The approach involves stepwise introduction of functional groups into different dicarbollide ligands. Halogenation of the monohydroxy derivative [8-OH-3,3??-Co-(1,2-C₂B₉H₁₀)(1??,2??-C₂B₉H₁₁)]^? gave the corresponding halogen hydroxy derivatives [8-OH-8??-X-3,3??-Co(1,2-C₂B₉H₁₀)₂]^? (X = Cl, Br, and I). Reactions of 8,8??-??-iodonium-3-commo-cobaltbis(1,2-dicarba-closo-dodecaborate) [8,8??-I-3,3??-Co(1,2-C₂B₉H₁₀)₂] with chloroform and 1,2-dibromoethane yielded the mixed halides [8-Y-8??-I-3,3??-Co(1,2-C₂B₉H₁₀)₂]^? (Y = Cl and Br).     

Enantiomeric hybrid high-temperature multiaxial ferroelectrics with a narrow bandgap and high piezoelectricity

Ferroelectric semiconductors have sparked growing attention in the field of optoelectronics, due to their unique ferroelectric photovoltaic effect. Recently, substantial efforts have been devoted to the development of ferroelectric semiconductors, including inorganic oxides, organic-inorganic hybrids, and metal-free perovskites. Nevertheless, reports of ferroelectric semiconductors with a bandgap of less than 2 eV have been scarce. Here, in combination with the incorporation of triiodide (I₃⁻) and the introduction of chiral cations, we successfully constructed a pair of enantiomeric organic-inorganic hybrid ferroelectric semiconductors, (S-1,2-DAP·I)₄·I₃·BiI₆ and (R-1,2-DAP·I)₄·I₃·BiI₆ (R/S-1,2-DAP = (R/S)-(–)-1,2-diaminopropane), which possess high-temperature multiaxial ferroelectric phase transition with an Aizu notation of 422F2(s) at 405 K, a narrow bandgap of 1.56 eV comparable to that of CH₃NH₃PbI₃ (∼1.5 eV), and an impressive piezoelectric response (piezoelectric coefficient, d₂₂ of 35 pC/N) on par with PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride, 30 pC/N). With intriguing attributes, (S-1,2-DAP·I)₄·I₃·BiI₆ and (R-1,2-DAP·I)₄·I₃·BiI₆ exhibit great potential for application of self-power polarized-light detection and piezoelectric sensors.     

Degradation and isomerization of 1,2-dichloroethenes by photocatalytic reactions

The photocatalytic degradation and isomerization of trans- and cis-1,2-dichloroethenes (1,2-DCEs) by TiO₂ photocatalyst have been investigated using gas chromatography. The reaction half-life of 1,2-DCEs in nitrogen was longer than in dry air and oxygen, and the initial concentration of them affects the extent of the isomerization. The results indicate that the oxygen molecule and chlorine atoms play an important role in the degradation and isomerization of 1,2-DCE. It is also apparent that the photocatalytic degradation of 1,2-DCEs occurs on the TiO₂ surface.     

Syntheses of new C2-symmetric,optically active 1,2-diols bearing tertiary alkyl groups

New C₂-symmetric chiral 1,2-diols, 1,2-bis(1-adamantyl)-1,2-ethanediol and 3,3,6,6-tetramethyl-1,2-cyclohexanediol, were synthesized by the use of a new resolution method.     

GC/MS and ESI/MS identification of the new generation plasticizers - cis and trans isomers of some 1,2-cyclohexane dicarboxylic acid di(n- and isononyl) esters

1,2-Cyclohexane dicarboxylic acid diisononyl ester is also known as diisononyl cyclohexane-1,2-dicarboxylate (DINCH) is a complex mixture of the hydrogenation products of diisononyl benzene-1,2-dicarboxylate (DINP). They are the new generation plasticizers used instead of the dialkyl benzene-1,2-dicarboxylate in order to improve the flexibility of polymers (mainly PVC) and strongly reduce the toxic effects on human health during their release from polymers to the environment. The identification of these compounds was done by syntheses of some DINCH constituents, i.e. cis and trans isomers of three di(n- and isononyl) cyclohexane-1,2-dicarboxylates, such as di(3,5,5-trimethylhexyl) cyclohexane-1,2-dicarboxylates, di(2-methyloctyl) cyclohexane-1,2-dicarboxylates and dinonyl cyclohexane-1,2-dicarboxylates by catalytic hydrogenation of appropriate DINP and their analyses by gas chromatography – mass spectrometry (GC/MS) and electrospray - mass spectrometry (ESI/MS) methods. Both GC data (values of the retention times t_R and arithmetic retention indices I_A) and mass spectra obtained for these isomers allowed to determine their chemical structures. ESI/MS mode of analysis of these compounds gives the knowledge about their mass fragmentation without the differentiation between individual cis and trans isomers.     

K2S2O8-Mediated halogenation of 2-arylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridines using sodium halides as the halogen sources

A convenient halogenation of 2-arylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridines using sodium chloride/bromide/iodide as the halogen sources in the presence of K₂S₂O₈ as an easy-to-handle oxidizing agent was developed. The present work offers an efficient and rapid access to 3-chloro-, 3-bromo- and 3-iodo-2-arylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridines which can be readily converted to C3-substituted imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines by cross-coupling reactions.     

Enthalpic interaction coefficients of NaI–alkanediol pairs in methanol and in water

The dissolution enthalpies of NaI in the mixtures of methanol with 1,2-alkanediols (1,2-propanediol, 1,2-butanediol, 1,2-pentanediol) and with ??,??-alkanediols (1,3-propanediol, 1,4-butanediol, 1,5-pentanediol), as well NaI in the mixtures of water with 1,3-propanediol and 1,2-pentanediol, were determined at 298.15?K. The energetic effect of interactions between the investigated alkanediols and NaI in methanol and in water was calculated using the enthalpic pair interaction coefficients (h _xy ) model. These results along with the other data concerning the NaI?Cnon-electrolyte pairs taken from our earlier reports and from the literature were analyzed with respect to the effect of the non-electrolyte properties on the variations of the h _xy values. The group contributions illustrating the interactions of NaI with selected functional groups in non-electrolyte (alkanediol and alkanol) molecules, namely: CH₂ and OH groups were calculated and discussed.

The reaction preserved the stereochemistry of the building block and performed in good yield independently of the electron-withdrawing or electron-donating character of the substituents.

Einfluß des Wassers und der thermischen Vorgeschichte auf das Phasenverhalten homologer Kephalin/Wasser-Systeme

1. By means of differential scanning calorimetry the phase behaviour of the following cephaline/water systems was studied: 1,2-dilauroyl-cephaline/water; 1,2-dimyristoyl-cephaline/water; 1,2-dipalmitoyl-cephaline/water; 1,2-distearoyl-cephaline/water; 1,2-diarachinoyl-cephaline/water. The phase transition temperatures (T _u ), enthalpies (ΔH _u ) and specific heat capacities (c _sp ) were determined and compared as a function of the water content and the alkyl chain length of the cephalines.
2. TheΔH _u andT _u values of the monohydrates depend systematically on the chain length. Differences occurred for the first and the second heating run.
3. With increasing water content theT _u values decrease while theΔH _u values become larger if one system cephaline/water is considered.
4. In the heterogeneous two phase region the increase of the chain, length of the homologous cephalines leads to a systematical increase of theΔH _u as well as theT _u values.
5. Below the annealing temperature dehydration and recrystallization occur. The kinetics of the phase transitionL _α →C was studied in the heterogeneous two phase region.

     

Selective synthesis of bis[1,2]dithiolo[1,4]thiazines from 4-isopropylamino-5-chloro-1,2-dithiole-3-ones

Substituted propanes: V. The vibrational spectra,dipole moments and conformations of 1,2-dichloro-, 1-chloro-2-bromo- and 1,2-dibromopropane

The infrared and Raman spectra of 1,2-dichloro-, 1-chloro-2-bromo- and 1,2-dibromopropane were recorded as liquids, in polar and non-polar solvents and in the crystalline state at low temperatures. The infrared spectrum of a high pressure crystal of 1,2-dibromopropane was recorded at ambient temperature. Dipole measurements were carried out in CCl₄ and C₆H₆solutions.Each of the 1,2-dihalopropanes existed as a mixture of three conformers in the liquid state, the one with the halogens in the anti position was in large abundance. Spectral and dipole measurements revealed a comparatively larger concentration of the two polar gauche conformers in polar solvents. All the compounds crystallized in the anti form. The C-halogen stretching vibrations have been interpreted in detail. Vibrational analyses of the anti conformers have been carried out and a tentative assignment of the majority of the gauche bands has been proposed.

X-ray diffraction studies showed that the 8′-iodo-8-(pyridiniumoxy)eucosahydro-1,1′,2,2′-tetracarba-3-commo-cobalta-closo-tricosaborate molecule has the gauche-conformation (the substituents are turned with respect to each other by 69.2°). The positive charge is predominantly localized on the N(Py) atom.
