Preparation of Trifluormethylhalogen Iodate(I) Salts (CH₃)₄N⁺CF₃IX^? (X = F, Cl, Br) and Trifluormethyltrifluormethoxy Iodate(I) (CH₃)₄N⁺CF₃IOCF₃^? We describe the preparation of new trifluormethyliodate(I) salts CF₃IX^? (X = F, Cl, Br, OCF₃). (CH₃)₄N⁺CF₃ICl^? and (CH₃)₄N⁺CF₃IBr^? are obtained via addition of CF₃I with the corresponded tetramethylammonium halogenide. (CH₃)₄N⁺CF₃IOCF₃^? is synthesized by comproportionation of (CH₃)₄N⁺CF₃ICl^? with CF₃OCl under formation of Cl₂ at ?78°C. (CH₃)₄N⁺CF₃IF^? is formed either, through thermolysis of (CH₃)₄N⁺ CF₃IOCF₃^? under separation of COF₂, or reaction of CF₃I with (CH₃)₄N⁺ OCF₃^?. The thermolabile compounds have been characterized by i.r., Raman, ¹⁹F-, ¹³C NMR spectroscopy.     

EPR of gamma irradiated (CH3)3NHClO4, (CH3)3NHBF4 and [(CH3)4N]2ZnCl4 single crystals

Gamma irradiation damage centres in (CH₃)₃NHClO₄, (CH₃)₃NHBF₄ and [(CH₃)₄N]₂ZnCl₄ were investigated by electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy at room temperature. The centres were found to be (CH₃)₃N^+. and the hyperfine structure parameters for methyl protons and the nitrogen nucleus were determined. The results indicated that the (CH₃)₃N^+. radical wholly performs reorientational motions around its C_3v axis in addition to the reorientatonal motions of the methyl groups around their C_3v axes. These results were compared with the earlier studies on (CH₃)₃N^+. radical and discussed. Low temperature measurements on the first two of the title compounds were assessed.

Crystal structure of tetramethylammonium hexafluoridoniobate(V) and hexafluoridotantalate(V)

Crystal structures of newly synthesized tetramethylammonium hexafluoridoniobate(V) and hexafluoridotantalate(V) (CH₃)₄N[МF₆] (M=Nb, Ta) have been determined; they crystallize in the tetragonal crystal system, sp. gr.

Crystal structures of isostructural compounds (CH₃)₄N[МF₆] (M=Nb, Ta) are formed by virtually regular tetrahedral tetramethylammonium cations (CH₃)₄N⁺ (NMe₄, TMA) and octahedral complex anions [МF₆]^– (M=Nb, Ta), fluorine atoms of the equatorial plane are statistically disordered over two positions. Ionic interactions and weak hydrogen bonds C–H???F join the cations and the complex anions in a 3D assembly.     

Kraftkonstanten von Verbindungen des Typs (CH3)3ElCl+X− (El = N,P, As,Sb; X− = SbCl6−)

Force Constants of Compounds of the Type (CH₃)₃ElCl⁺X^?(El = N, P, As, Sb; X^? = SbCl₆^?)

Multinuclear NMR spectra of (CH3)3SnCH2M(CH3)3 (MSn,Ge, Si,C) and some halogenated derivatives

Chemical shift and scalar coupling constant information has been obtained from the ¹H, ¹³C, ²⁹Si and ¹¹⁹Sn NMR spectra of a series of compounds (CH₃)₃SnCH₂M(CH₃)₃, where M = Sn, Ge, Si or C and with one or two CH₃? (Sn) groups replaced by Cl, Br or I. The (CH₃)₃M and (CH₃)₃MCH₂ groups appear to have opposite substituent effects on chemical shifts.     

Dimethylarsenazid (CH3)2AsN3, Dimethylwismutazid (CH3)2BiN3 und Dimethylthalliumzid (CH3)2TiN3

The reaction of (CH₃)₂AsJ and AgN₃ yields (CH₃)₂AsN₃; a colourless liquid (b. p. 136°C) which dissolves as a monomeric in benzene. (CH₃)₂BiN₃ is precipitated in form of colourless needles (dec. temp. 150°C) from an etherical solution of Bi(CH₃)₃ and HN₃. According to its vibrational and mass spectra the molecules are not associated although the (CH₃)₂BiN₃ is not soluble; dipole association of this polar molecules is assumed for the crystal structure. (CH₃)₂TlN₃ can be obtained from TI(CH₃)₃ and ClN₃ as well as from (CH₃)₂TlOH and HN₃ in form of colourless needles and leaves (dec. temp. 245°C).

The protonation constants of the anions of thirteen polyaminocarboxylic acids have been determined in solutions containing different inert salts: KNO₃, NaClO₄ and N(CH₃)₄Cl. The formation constants of the following species: H₅EDTA+, H₆EDTA²⁺, H₅CDTA⁺ and H₄NTA⁺ have been obtained from solubility measurements with ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (H₄EDTA), 1,2-diaminocyclohexane tetraacetic acid (H₄CDTA) and nitrilotriacetic acid (H₃NTA) in acid solutions between pH = 3 and 0 at ionic strength 1M (NaClO₄ + HClO₄).     

LIF measurement of the vibrational dependence of the N2(B 3Π g ) hyperfine splitting parameters

From very high resolution (8 MHz FWHM) LIF measurements, the hyperfine coupling constants of N₂(A ³Σ _u ⁺ ) and N₂(B ³Π _g ) have been obtained for three pairs of vibrational quantum numbersv′,v″. TheA-state constants are in very good agreement with accurate literature data. The vibrational dependence of some of theB-state constants is found to be much more pronounced. This is qualitatively explained in terms of the electronic structure of the two states.

Association of metal cations with alkanes: Na(CH4)+ versus Cu(CH4)+ as molecular models

Summary Ab initio molecular orbital calculations give small stabilization energies for the various Na(CH₄)⁺ adducts (less than 4 kcal mol^–1), but predict a stronger binding for the copper compounds (about 13 kcal mol^–1). The different behaviour of Na⁺ and Cu⁺, already present at the SCF level, is reinforced by electron correlation. This can be attributed to an important contribution of the dispersion energy to the binding energy of the copper ion: about 40% of the total, including basis set superposition corrections.Dedicated to Mrs A.

Syntheses and Structures of S4N4(OCH3)2 and CH3OS4N4(O)Cl

The reaction of S₄N₄Cl₂ with CH₃OH gives S₄N₄(OCH₃)₂, a simple dimethoxoderivative of S₄N₄. Its overall geometry is analogous to other compounds of the S₄N₄X₂ type. The chlorination of S₄N₄(OCH₃)₂ leads to the oxidation of one sulfur atom to S^VI and CH₃OS₄N₄(O)Cl is formed. The compounds were characterized by ir spectroscopy and their crystal structures were determined from single crystal diffraction data collected at ?153°C. The presence of S^VI in the molecule of CH₃OS₄N₄(O)Cl is manifested by a marked shortening of the bonds formed by this atom as compared with S₄N₄Cl₂ and S₄N₄(OCH₃)₂.

Density Functional Theoretical Study of Polynitrogen Compounds N5+Y− (Y=B(CF3)4, BF4, PF6 and B(N3)4)

The structures and the stabilities of polynitrogen compounds N₅⁺Y^? [Y=B(CF₃)₄, BF₄, PF₆, and B(N₃)₄], as the potential high energy density compounds, have been investigated at the B3LYP/6‐31G(d,p) and B3LYP/6‐311+G(d,p) levels. On the basis of our geometry optimization calculations, the structural properties of the N₅⁺Y^? compounds are discussed, and it is found that the combination of the N₅⁺ cation and the Y^? anions leads to distortion of the structures of the Y^? anions. Based on the TS calculations for the N₂‐loss dissociations of the N₅⁺Y^? compounds, the stabilities of these compounds are discussed, and the following conclusion can be drawn that among the four compounds, N₅⁺B(CF₃)₄^? is the most stable one and N₅⁺B(N₃)₄^? is the most unstable, and the relative stability of these compounds is always consistent using different basis sets. From these discussions, it is revealed that there are close correlations between the stuctrual distortions of the Y^? anions and the stabilities of the N₅⁺Y^? compounds, and between the nitrogen content in the compounds and the stabilities of the N₅⁺Y^? compounds.     

Syntheses and Spectroscopic Study of Some New N‐4‐Fluorobenzoyl Phosphoric Triamides; Crystal Structures of 4‐F‐C6H4C(O)N(H)P(O)R2, R = NH‐C(CH3)3, NH‐CH2C6H5, N(CH3)(CH2C6H5)

Some new N‐4‐Fluorobenzoyl phosphoric triamides with formula 4‐F‐C₆H₄C(O)N(H)P(O)X₂, X = NH‐C(CH₃)₃ ( 1 ), NH‐CH₂‐CH=CH₂ ( 2 ), NH‐CH₂C₆H₅ ( 3 ), N(CH₃)(C₆H₅) ( 4 ), NH‐CH(CH₃)(C₆H₅) ( 5 ) were synthesized and characterized by ¹H, ¹³C, ³¹P NMR, IR and Mass spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The structures of compounds 1 , 3 and 4 were investigated by X‐ray crystallography. The P=O and C=O bonds in these compounds are anti. Compounds 1 and 3 form one dimensional polymeric chain produced by intra‐ and intermolecular ‐P=O···H‐N‐ hydrogen bonds. Compound 4 forms only a centrosymmetric dimer in the crystalline lattice via two equal ‐P=O···H‐N‐ hydrogen bonds. ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra show two series of signals for the two amine groups in compound 1 . This is also observed for the two α‐methylbenzylamine groups in 5 due to the presence of chiral carbon atom in molecule. ¹³C NMR spectrum of compound 4 shows that ²J(P,C_aliphatic) coupling constant for CH₂ group is greater than for CH₃ in agreement with our previous study. Mass spectra of compounds 1 ‐ 3 (containing 4‐F‐C₆H₄C(O)N(H)P(O) moiety) indicate the fragments of amidophosphoric acid and 4‐F‐C₆H₄CN⁺ that formed in a pseudo McLafferty rearrangement pathway. Also, the fragments of aliphatic amines have high intensity in mass spectra.     

Thermal decomposition of di-t-butyl peroxide in the presence of (CH3)2CCH2: Reactions of CH3, (CH3)2ĊCH2CH3, and (CH3)2ĊCH2C(CH3)2CH2CH3 radicals

A study of the reaction initiated by the thermal decomposition of di-t-butyl peroxide (DTBP) in the presence of (CH₃)₂C?CH₂ (B) at 391–444 K has yielded kinetic data on a number of reactions involving CH₃ (M·), (CH₃)₂CCH₂CH₃ (MB·) and (CH₃)₂?CH₂C(CH₃)₂CH₂CH₃ (MBB·) radicals. The cross-combination ratio for M· and MB· radicals, rate constants for the addition to B of M· and MB· radicals relative to those for their recombination reactions, and rate constants for the decomposition of DTBP, have been determined. The values are, respectively, where θ = RT ln 10 and the units are dm^3/2 mol^?1/2 s^?1/2 for k₂/k and k₉/k, s^?1 for k₀, and kJ mol^?1 for E. Various disproportionation-combination ratios involving M·, MB·, and MBB· radicals have been evaluated. The values obtained are: Δ₁(M·, MB·) = 0.79 ± 0.35, Δ₁(MB·, MB·) = 3.0 ± 1.0, Δ₁(MBB·, MB·) = 0.7 ± 0.4, Δ₁(M·, MBB·) = 4.1 ± 1.0, Δ₁(MB·, MBB·) = 6.2 ± 1.4, and Δ₁(MBB·, MBB·) = 3.9 ± 2.3, where Δ₁ refers to H-abstraction from the CH₃ group adjacent to the center of the second radical, yielding a 1-olefin. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

The resulting salt is characterised by NMR and vibrational spectroscopy and its crystal structure. (CH₃)₄N⁺SCN^– · SO₂ crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c with a = 578.4(1) pm, b = 1634.3(1) pm, c = 1054.6(1) pm, β = 105.17(1)°, and four formula units in the unit cell.
