Reactions of C2(a 3πu) with CH4, C2H2, C2H4, C2H6, and O2 using multiphoton UV excimer laser photolysis

C₂(a ³π_u) disappearance rate constants of 1.44, 0.96, 0.0296, 0.0130 and < 10^?6(x10^?10cm³s^?1) are reported for reactions with C₂H₄, C₂H₂, O₂, C₂H₆, and CH₄, respectively at 298 K. C₂(a ³π_u) fragments are generated by multiphoton ArF excimer laser photodissociation at C₂H₂, and monitored by dye laser induced fluorescence. Arguments are presented which favor chemical reactions over the C₂(a ³π_u) → (X ¹σ⁺_g) quenching channel. C₂ + C₂H₂ represents the one possible exception to the reactive channel.     

The structure and energy of SiH+5. comparisons with CH+5 and BH5

Differences between SiH⁺₅ and CH⁺₅ are more significant than the similarities. The proton affinity of SiH₄ exceeds than of CH₄ by ≈25 kcal/mol. but the heat of hydrogenation of SiH⁺₃ is smaller than that of CH⁺₃ by nearly the same amount. Like CH⁺₅ the C₅ structures of SiH⁺₅ are preferred, but SiH⁺₅ is best regarded as a weaker SiH⁺₃—H₂ complex. D_3h, C_2v, and C_4v forms are much higher in energy and SiH⁺₅ should not undergo hydrogen scrambling (pseudorotation) readily, as does CH⁺₅ The neutral BH₅ is only weakly bound toward loss H₂, and the D_3h. C_2v, and C_4v forms are also high in energy. The contral-atom electronegativities, C⁺ > B > Si⁺, control this behavior. The electronegativities also determine the ability to bear positive charges. Thermodynamically. SiH⁺₅ and SiH⁺₃ are more stable than CH⁺₅ and CH⁺₃, respectively; hydride transfer occurs from SiH₄ to CH⁺₃ and proton transfer from CH⁺₅ to SiH₄.     

Synthesis and x-ray crystallographic structural determination of the acetylene complex (η5−C5H5)2W2(CO)4(C2H2)

Reaction of photogenerated (η⁵?C₅H₅)₂W₂(CO)₄ with acetylene at 25°C yields a complex of the formula (η⁵-C₅H₅)₂W₂(CO)₄(C₂H₂). The crystal structure of the complex shows it to have a tetrahedrane-like W₂C₂ core. The C—C bond distance of the C₂H₂ unit is 1.33 Å which is close to that of ethylene, considerably longer than the 1.20 Å for acetylenes. The W—W distance is 2.987 Å which is ～0.25 Å shorter than the W—W distance in (η⁵-C₅H₅)₂W₂(CO)₆ but longer than that expected for (η⁵-C₅H₅)₂W₂(CO)₄. By analogy to the parent (η⁵-C₅H₅)₂M₂(CO)₆ species, the near-UV absorption in (η⁵-C₅H₅)₂M₂(CO)₄(C₂H₂) is assigned to a σ_b → σ^* transition. Owing to the shorter M—M bond in the C₂H₂ adducts, the σ_b → σ^* absorption is at higher energy than in the (η⁵-C₅H₅)₂M₂(CO)₆ complexes.     

Reactions of the dications C7H6, C7H7, and C7H8 with methane: Predominance of doubly charged intermediates

The reactions of methane with the dications C₇H₆²⁺, C₇H₇²⁺, and C₇H₈²⁺ generated by electron ionization of toluene are studied using mass-spectrometry tools. It is shown that the reactivity is dominated by the formation of doubly charged intermediates, which can either eliminate molecular hydrogen to yield doubly charged products or undergo charge-separation reactions leading to the formation of a methyl cation and the corresponding C₇H_n+1⁺ monocation. Typical processes observed for dications, like electron transfer or proton transfer, are largely suppressed. The theoretically derived mechanism of the reaction between C₇H₆²⁺ and CH₄ indicates that the formation of the doubly charged intermediate is kinetically preferred at low internal energies of the reactants. In agreement, the experimental results show a pronounced hydrogen scrambling and dominant formation of the doubly charged products at low collision energies, whereas direct hydride transfer prevails at larger collision energies.     

Synthesis and study of (CN3H6)2[(UO2)2(C2O4)(SeO3)2] by IR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction

Single crystals of (CN₃H₆)₂[(UO₂)₂(C₂O₄)(SeO₃)₂] were synthesized and studied by IR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. The compound crystallizes in the triclinic system with the unit cell parameters a = 7.1169(12) ?, b = 7.4874(10) ?, c = 8.9748(14) ?, α = 88.243(6)°, β = 74.546(6)°, γ = 81.445(6)°, space group P[`1]P\bar 1, Z = 1, R = 0.0304. The main structural units of the crystals are layers of the [(UO₂)₂(C₂O₄)(SeO₃)₂]²⁻ composition; the layers belong to the crystal chemical group A ₂ K ⁰² T ₂³ (A = UO₂²⁺ K ⁰² = C₂O₄²⁻, T ³ = SeO₃^–) of uranyl complexes. Uranium-containing complex groups are linked by electrostatic interactions and a network of hydrogen bonds with CN₃H₆⁺ guanidinium ions to form a three-dimensional framework.     

Evidence for enhanced reactivity in the photofragmentation of the bridged dinuclear system Me2Si[η5-C5H4Fe(CO)2(η1-CH2C6H5)]2

Experimental evidence that the dinuclear complex Me₂Si[η⁵-C₅H₄Fe(CO)₂-(η¹-CH₂C₆H₅)]₂ shows enhanced reactivity over its mononuclear analogy η⁵-C₅H₅Fe(CO)₂(η¹-CH₂C₆H₅ in photogragmentation to produce bibenzyl and FeFe bonded product is presented. Information from a series of competition and crossover experiments indicate that two factors are involved in the enhancement: (1) the ability to photochemically produce a 16-electron unsaturated benzyl unit in close proximity to a saturated partner, and (2) the inability of the FeFe bonded species 4 to quench free benzyl radicals in solution. Chemical reaction of Me₂Si[η⁵-C₅H₄Fe(CO)₂(η¹-CH₂C₆H₅)]₂ with Me₃NO produces bibenzyl and establishes that loss of CO is the initial step in the fragmentation reaction. In addition, trapping experiments with 9,10-dihydroanthracene show that bibenzyl is formed from free benzyl radical; BBased on these results an overall mechanism is proposed.     

Structural roles of water in potassium nitrilosulphonate dihydrate,K3N(SO3)3.2H2O

The structural roles of the two types of lattice water in K₃N(SO₃)₃.2H₂O have been determined from the geometries of their immediate environments. Through hydrogen bonds of different lengths (and hence strengths), H₂O(1) links adjacent N(SO₃)₃^3?ions belonging to the same unit cell and lying on the same crystallographic mirror plane as O(1).H₂O(2) links identical N(SO₃)₃^3?ions contained in unit cells adjacent in the b direction, by very weak, equivalent hydrogen bonds. The hydrogen atoms of H₂O(1) are assigned to C_s sites in the unit cell and those of H₂O(2) are assigned to C₁ sites. The proposed site occupancies are verified by infrared spectroscopy using the “isotopic dilution” technique.     

Laser photolysis of C2H2 and CF3C2H at 193 nm: Production of C2(d3Πg and CH(A2Δ) and their quenching by Xe

The 193 nm laser photodissociation of CH₂H₂ and CF₃C₂H has been studied. With the laser beam focused, C₂(d³Π_g) and CH(A²Δ) radicals were formed by multiphoton processes in both C₂H₂ and CF₃C₂H; however, the one-photon process forming C₂H is still predominant in CF₃C₂H photolysis. The production of C₂(d³Π_g) and CH(A²Δ) emissions is prompt,and the emission intensities show similar (less than quadratic) dependence on laser power whether the radicals are produced from C₂H₂ or CF₃C₂H. In addition, the vibrational distribution of the Swan system is nearly the same in CF₃C₂H as in C₂H₂. The results indicate that the overall photolytic processes are similar in two molecules. Both the C₂(d³Π_g) and CH(A²Δ) emissions are quenched by Xe with rate constants of 4.8×10^?11 and 1.8×10^?11 cm³ molecule^?1 s^?1, respectively.     

Photochemistry of (η5)-C5H5)Mn(CO)2[C(C6H5)2]. Generation of the diphenylcarbene radical anion

The electronic absorption spectrum of (η⁵-C₅H₅)Mn(CO)₂[C(C₆H₅)₂]shows an intense maximum which is assigned to a MLCT transition in which the empty p_π orbital on the carbene carbon is populated. Upon irradiation of this band, the complex undergoes a decomposition with a disappearance quantum yield Φ = 0.10 ± 0.01 independent of solvent. In the CT excited state, the complex can be roughly described as containing d⁵ Mn^II and a diphenylcarbene radical anion ligand C(C₆H₅)₂^?. Due to the kinetic lability, the complex decomposes producing a Mn^II species and the free carbene radical anion, which then undergoes secondary reactions. In addition, small amounts of substitution product are observed. It is proposed that prior to total decomposition of the excited state, a radical pair (η⁵-C₅H₅)Mn(CO)₂S⁺/C(C₆H₅)₂^?forms (S = solvent). A back electron transfer from C(C₆H₅)₂^?to the labile cation competes with decomposition to produce the substituted complex and free carbene.

Fulvene—platinum complexes: x-ray crystal structure of [Pt(η2-C5H4CPh2)(PPh3)2]

Bis(cycloocta-1,5-diene)platinum reacts with 2,3,4,5-tetraphenylfulvene to afford the complex [Pt(η²-CH₂C₅Ph₄)(cod)] (cod  C₈H₁₂) in which the metal atom is coordinated to the exo-cyclic double bond of the fulvene. Related compounds [Pt(η²-CH₂C₅Ph₄L₂] (L  PPh₃, PMePh₂, PMe₂Ph, AsPh₃ or CNBu^t have also been prepared and characterised. Reaction of the complexes [Pt(C₂H₄)₂(L)] (L  P(cyclo-C₆H₁₁)₃, PPh₃ or AsPh₃) with 2,3,4,5-tetraphenylfulvene yields the compounds [Pt(C₂H₄)(η²-CH₂C₅PH₄)(L)]. NMR data for the new species are reported and discussed. 6,6-Diphenylfulvene reacts with [Pt(cod)₂] and PPh₃ ($\text{1}\text{2}$ mol ratio) to give the complex [Pt(η²-C₅H₄CPh₂)-(PPh₃)₂] in which the metal atom is bonded to carbon atoms C(2) and C(3) of the fulvene ring. This was established by an X-ray diffraction study. Crystals are monoclinic, space group P2₁/n, with Z  4 in a unit cell of dimensions a  13.761(4), b  21.653(13), c  17.395(6) Å, β,  104.46(2)°. The structure has been solved and refined to R  0.064 (R′  0.064) for 3139 independent diffracted intensifies measured at room temperature. The platinum atom is in a trigonal environment formed by the two ligated phosphorus atoms and the CC bond of the fulvene which is elongated to 1.52(3) Å. The c₅ fulvene ring is planar, and makes an angle of 108° with the coordination plane around the platinum. In this plane the metal atom is slightly asymmetrically bonded with PtC 2.15(2) and 2.24(2) Å, and PtP 2.280(6) and 2.301(6) Å.     

ESR study of the radical (C6D5)313C produced in a single crystal matrix

The (C₆D₅)₃¹³C radical is produced by the x-irradiation of a single crystal of (C₆D₅)₃¹³C-H. The principal values of the hyperfine coupling with the ¹³C in the methyl position are determined as T₁ = 168 MHz, T₂ = 24 MHz, T₃= 19 MHz. The corresponding spin density is compared with the values obtained in solution by earlier authors. The principal directions are consistent with crystalline structure and show that only one of the two molecules forming the asymmetric unit is broken during irradiation.

Freezing Point of Mixtures of C6H6 with C6D6 or 13C6H6 and of CH3COOH with CH3COOD or CD3COOD

The freezing points of mixtures of benzene, C₆H₆, with one of its isotopes, C₆D₆ and ¹³C₆H₆, and those of acetic acid CH₃COOH with its isotopes, CH₃COOD and CD₃COOD, were measured as functions of the molal concentrations of C₆D₆ and ¹³C₆H₆, CH₃COOD and CD₃COOD, respectively. They changed linearly or non-linearly with increasing molal concentration of C₆D₆ and ¹³C₆H₆, CH₃COOD, and CD₃COOD, respectively. These findings confirm Kiyosawas previous conclusion drawn from experiments on the freezing points of mixtures of H₂¹⁶O with H₂¹⁸O or H₂¹⁷O. This hypothesis states that even a difference in the number of neutrons in the hydrogen or oxygen atoms of water molecules makes water molecules behave as different entities with respect to the colligative properties of solutions. This concept can be extended to mixtures of ordinary benzene with either of its isotopes, C₆D₆ or ¹³C₆H₆, and those of ordinary acetic acid CH₃COOH with either of its isotopes, CH₃COOD or CD₃COOD.     

Perfluororganozink-verbindungen: darstellung und eigenschaften von (Rf)2Zn-komplexen (Rf = CF3, C2F5, C3F7, C6F5) [1]

A new method for the preparation of bis(perfluoroorgano) zinc compounds is described: CF₃I and C₆F₅I react with dialkylzinc in the presence of a Lewis base quantitatively to give (CF₃)₂Zn and (C₆F₅)₂Zn complexes, while the analogous reactions with C₂F₅I and iC₃F₇I do not yield the pure compounds. ¹H, ¹⁹F n.m.r, i.r. and Raman spectra are presented.     

Role of B(C6F5)3 in activating the nickel-methyl complex (η-C5H5)Ni(CH3)(PPh3) to initiate the vinyl polymerization of norbornene

The Ni-methyl complex (η⁵-C₅H₅)Ni(CH₃)(PPh₃) (1) reacted with B(C₆F₅)₃ to give an unstable contact ion-pair complex with a μ-methyl bridge between the Ni and B atoms. Formation of the B-CH₃ bond was confirmed by the reaction of this complex with PPh₃ to give [(η⁵-C₅H₅)Ni(PPh₃)₂][B(CH₃)(C₆F₅)₃] which was structurally characterized. Spontaneous decomposition of the contact ion-pair complex yielded (η⁵-C₅H₅)Ni(C₆F₅)(PPh₃) which is very stable and does not show any reactions with norbornene with or without added B(C₆F₅)₃. ¹⁹F NMR study showed that the polynorbornene obtained by the catalysis of 1/B(C₆F₅)₃ system has the C₆F₅ end-group. A series of reactions, which includes CH₃/C₆F₅ exchange between the Ni and B centers with concomitant dissociation of PPh₃ to accept coordination of a norbornene monomer, is proposed as the route to active species that can initiate vinyl polymerization of norbornene.     

Hetero- and homo-nuclear bimetallic ruthenol complexes by dehydrogenative metallacyclization of Ru(CO)3(bi-1,7-cyclooctadienyl), preparation and x-ray structure of Fe(CO)3(C16H22), RuFe(CO)6(C16H22) and Ru2(CO)6(C16H20)

The reaction of M₃(CO)₁₂ (M = Ru, Fe) with excess bi-2,7-cyclooctadienyl (C₁₆H₂₂) 1 gave a mononuclear complex M(CO)₃(1,2,1′-2′-η⁴-C₁₆H₂₂), 2a (M = Ru) or 3a (M = Fe), in good yield. Treatment of 2a with Fe₃(CO)₁₂ or reaction of 3a with Ru₃(CO)₁₂ gave the heterobimetallic complex RuFe(CO)₆(C₁₀H₂₂) consisting of a ruthenacyclopentadiene unit coordinated to an Fe(CO)₃ fragment, as confirmed by ¹H NMR and X-ray studies. The corresponding homobimetallic complex Ru₂(CO)₆(C₁₆H₂₂) was obtained from the 1:1 reaction of 2a with Ru₃(CO)₁₂, while the direct reaction of 1 with Ru₃(CO)₁₂ gave Ru₂(CO)₆(C₁₆H₂₀) preferentially with a loss of two hydrogen atoms. The pathway for formation of these bimetallic complexes was interpreted as a dehydrogenative metallacyclization followed by hydrogen transfer.

运用脉冲激光光解-激光诱导荧光(PLP-LIF)的方法在293-573 K的温度范围内测量了C₂(X¹Σ_g⁺)自由基与不饱和碳氢化合物(C₂H₄和C₂H₂)气相反应的双分子反应速率常数. 获得的速率常数可以用Arrhenius 公式表达如下(单位: cm³·molecule^-1·s^-1): k(C₂H₄)=(1.16±0.10)×10^-10exp[(290.68±9.72)/T], k(C₂H₂)=(1.36±0.02)×10^-10exp[(263.85±7.60)/T], 误差为2σ. 由获得的双分子反应速率常数及其所呈现的负温度效应, 我们认为在293-573 K温度范围内C₂(X¹Σ_g⁺)自由基和不饱和碳氢化合物的反应遵循加成机理.     

Total syntheses and absolute stereochemistry of decarestrictines C1 and C2

The total syntheses of decarestrictines C₁ and C₂ have been described. The synthetic strategy involves a practical and flexible approach using esterification and ring-closing metathesis to unite the acid and alcohol fragments. The acid fragments are enantiomers of each other and have been prepared from l-(−)-malic acid via similar transformations; in Sharpless asymmetric epoxidation, (+)-DET has been used for decarestrictine C₁ and (−)-DET for decarestrictine C₂. The alcohol fragment is identical for both decarestrictines C₁ and C₂ and has been accessed from d-(+)-mannitol. Comparison of the ¹H and ¹³C NMR data combined with the computational studies predicts the presence of two conformations without and with hydrogen bonding (conformational isomers I and II for decarestrictine C₁), respectively. The ¹H and ¹³C NMR data for decarestrictine C₂ completely agreed with the analytical data reported by Kibayashi et al.     

Neutron scattering study of the reorientational motions in Cr(CO)3(η6C6H6) and Mn(CO)3(η5C5H5)

Incoherent quasi-eleastic neutron scattering experiments: using different resolutions and a wide Q range, have been performed on polycrystalline samples of Cr(CO)₃(η⁶C₆H₆) and Mn(CO)₃(η⁵C₅H₅) in the 280–320 K temperature range. It is shown that aromatic rings are involved into a reorientational process characterized by an activation energy of ≈ 16 kJ mol^?1 and by correlation times of the order of 2 × 10^?11 s and 5 × 10^?11 s at 300 K for C₆H₆ and C₅H₅ rings respectively. Experimental elastic incoherent structure factors are in agreement with the 2π/6 and 2π/5 jump models and the fitted spectra confirm these models. From a comparison with heat-capacity results we conclude that M(CO)₃ groups are fixed during the reorientational process. Finally a comparison with literature data is presented.
