Electronic absorption spectra of 3-β-carboxyethylrhodanine and its 5-arylidene derivatives

The UV spectra of 3--carboxyethylrhodanine and its 5-arylidene derivatives comprise four bands. The first absorption band with a peak at 239 m is not very characteristic of rhodanines. The second band, connected with the presence of the chromophore {\text{N}}{}^{\text{\_}}{\text{C = S}} \hfill \\ {\text{ |}} \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ " align="middle" border="0"> , is characterized by peaks in the 243–281 m region.The peak of the third absorption band at about 300 m, is connected with the presence of an amide chromophore, which shifts bathochromically on introduction of a benzylidene group; subsequent introduction of nitro groups results in its being displaced hyposochromically. The most characteristic feature of the 5-arylidene derivatives is formation of a very intense K absorption band in the 360–466 m region, superimposed on the corresponding low-intensity 3--carboxyethylrhodanine absorption band.     

Solid-Solute Phase Equilibria in Aqueous Solution. XII. Solubility and Thermal Decomposition of Smithsonite

The solubility constant of ZnCO₃, smithsonite, in aqueous NaClO₄ solutions hasbeen investigated as a function of temperature (288.15 T/K 338.15) atconstant ionic strength I = 1.00 mol-kg^–1. In addition, the solubility of zinccarbonate has been determined at 2.00 and 3.00 mol-kg^–1 NaClO₄ (298.15 K).The solubility measurements have been evaluated by applying the Daviesapproximation, the specific ion-interaction theory, and the Pitzer model, respectively.The thermodynamic interpretation leads to an internally consistent set ofthermodynamic data for ZnCO₃ (298.15 K): solubility constant log*K _p50 ⁰ = 7.25 ± 0.10,standard Gibbs energy of formation _i G (ZnCO₃) = (–777.3±0.6)kJ-mol^–1, standard enthalphy of formation _f H (ZnCO₃)= (–820.2±3.0) kJ-mol^–1,and standard entropy S (ZnCO₃) = (77±10)J-mol^–1 K.^–1. Furthermore, the DSCcurve for the thermal decarbonation of zinc carbonate has been recorded in orderto obtain the enthalpy of formation _fH (ZnCO₃) =(–820.2±2.0) from theheat of decomposition. Finally, our results are also consistent within theexperimental error limits with a recent determination of the standard entropy ofsmithsonite, leading to a recommended set of thermodynamic properties of ZnCO₃:      

Cyclic aryleneazachalcogens: Synthesis,vibrational spectra,and π-electron structures

It is shown that a convenient general method for the synthesis of benzo-2,1,3-thiadiazole, its Se analog, their 4,5,6,7-tetrafluoro derivatives, and naphtho[1,8-c,d][1.2.6]thiadiazine is the reaction of the corresponding arylenediamines with chalcogen tetrahalides. A complete interpretation of the vibrational spectra of the synthesized compounds was obtained using the experimental shifts of the bands caused by the introduction of the ¹⁵N and ⁷⁷Se isotopes into the compositions of the molecules and calculations of the frequencies and forms of the normal vibrations within the stretching-force field approximation. The peculiarities of the -electron structures of the molecules of these substances were established by means of an analysis of the force constants of the CC, CN, NS, and NSe bonds and quantum-chemical calculations by the MNDO method: 1) The group orbitals of the NXN fragments (X=S, Se) interact effectively with the group orbitals of the carbocycles; 2) the p AO of nitrogen and sulfur make the principal contribution to the MO of different symmetries (a₂ and b₁, respectively), as a consequence of which their overlapping with one another is small, and the chemical bond within the limits of the NSN group is best described in the form of ; resonance; the same is also valid for the NSeN group; 3) on the whole, the MO display a tendency for localization in individual molecular fragments. All of these factors decrease the aromatic character of the molecules.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 8, pp. 1124–1133, August, 1990.

Ester Elimination: A General Solvent Dependent Non-Hydrolytic Route to Metal and Mixed-Metal Oxides

Molecular routes to metal oxides has become an area of intensescientific interest due to the technological relevance of thesematerials. Molecular routes are proving important as a result ofthe possibility to control the physical and chemical propertiesof the final materials.We have chosen to study non-hydrolytic methods, namely esterelimination reactions between two prototypical molecularprecursors metal alkoxides, M(OR)_n, and metal carboxylates, M(O₂CR)_n, to synthesize metal oxides: This method allows for the synthesis of pure metal oxides bycomplete elimination of the organic supporting ligands withconcomitant formation of M-O-M bridges.Furthermore, incomplete esterelimination can lead to isolation of molecular clusters asintermediates which can also be used as building blocks for theformation of metal oxides with controlled microstructure.Here we report a series of reactions between Sn and Si alkoxidesand carboxylates designed to gain further insight into thefactors governing ester elimination reactions. By choosingcompounds with varying coordination environments and stericaccessibility we have devised a set of criteria which shouldallow for successful ester elimination between metal alkoxide andcarboxylate compounds. Furthermore we have also shown theability of ester elimination derived molecular clusters withspecific microstructure to be used in the synthesis of bulkmaterials retaining the structural attributes of the precursor cluster.

Deficiencies of the ferricinium-ferrocene redox couple for estimating transfer energies of single ions

The difference between the partial molal entropies of ferrocene and ferricinium has been determined in nine solvents from the temperature dependence of the formal potential of the ferricinium-ferrocene redox couple using a nonisothermal electrochemical cell arrangement in order to probe possible structural reasons for the limitations of the ferrocene assumption for estimating the transfer thermodynamics of single ions between different solvents. In contrast to the uniformly small positive values of predicted by the Born model, the experimental quantities varied widely from small or even negative values in hydrogen-bonded solvents (–5 to 3 e.u.) to substantially larger values (11–14 e.u.) in dipolar aprotic media. These variations appear to arise chiefly from additional solvent ordering in the vicinity of the ferricinium cation compared to the ferrocene molecule which is enhanced in the aprotic solvents. The variations in between water and a number of nonaqueous solvents provide a predominate contribution to the differences between the free energies of single ion transfer calculated using the ferrocene and alternative extrathermodynamic assumptions.     

Reaction graphs and a construction of reaction networks

Summary A general definition of reaction graphs is presented. For a pair of isomeric molecular graphs and , related by a chemical transformation , the reaction graph is determined using a maximal common subgraph defined for vertex mapping . A binary operation defined for graphs constructed over the same vertex set enables us to decompose the reaction graph into the sum of prototype reaction graphs. A decomposition of an overall reaction graph can be advantageously used for the construction of a reaction network. An oriented path in this network beginning at and ending at corresponds to a breakdown of the transformation into a sequence of intermediates.

First and second thermodynamic mixing functions of ethylbenzene+n-nonane, +n-decane,and+n-dodecane at 25 and 45°C

Isothermal compressibilities _T and isobaric thermal expansion coefficients _p have been determined for mixtures of ethylbenzene+n-nonane, +n-decane, and +n-dodecane at 25 and 45°C in the whole range of composition. The excess functions and have been obtained at each measured mole fraction. The first one is zero for ethylbenzene +n-nonane, positive for ethylbenzene +n-decane, and +n-dodecane and increases with chain length n of the n-alkane. The function is positive for the three studied systems and nearly constant with n. Both mixing functions increase slightly with temperature. From this measurement and supplementary literature data of molar heat capacities at constant pressure C _P , the isentropic compressibilities _S, the molar heat capacities at constant volume C _V and the corresponding mixing functions have been calculated at 25°C. Furthermore, the pressure dependence of excess enthalpy H ^B , at zero pressure and at 25°C has been obtained from our experimental results of and experimental literature values for excess volume V ^E .

Molecular Structure and Conformation of p-Bis(trimethylsilyl)benzene: A Study by Gas-Phase Electron Diffraction and Theoretical Calculations

The molecular structure and conformation of p-bis(trimethylsilyl)benzene have been investigated by gas-phase electron diffraction, ab initio MO calculations at the HF/6-31G*, MP2(f.c.)/6-31G*, and B3LYP/6-31G* levels, and MM3 molecular mechanics calculations. The calculations indicate the syn- and anti-coplanar conformations, with two bonds in the plane of the benzene ring, to be energy minima. The perpendicular conformations, with two bonds in a plane orthogonal to the ring plane, are transition states. The two coplanar conformers have nearly the same energy with a low interconversion barrier, 0.3–0.5 kJ mol^–1. The calculated lengths of the and bonds differ by only a few thousandths of an angstrom, in agreement with electron diffraction results from molecules containing either or bonds. The geometrical distortion of the benzene ring in p-bis(trimethylsilyl)-benzene may be described by superimposing independent distortions from each of the two SiMe₃ groups. The electron diffraction intensities from a previous study (Rozsondai, B.; Zelei, B.; Hargittai, I. J. Mol. Struct. 1982, 95, 187) have been reanalyzed, imposing constraints from the theoretical calculations, and using a model based on a 1:1 mixture of the two coplanar conformers. The effective torsion angles of the SiMe₃ groups may indicate nearly free rotation. Important geometrical parameters from the present electron diffraction analysis are , and . While the mean bond lengths are virtually the same from the previous and present analyses, the new ipso angle is in better agreement with the MO calculations [HF, 116.9° MP2(f.c.), 117.1° B3LYP, 116.9°].

Investigations of the distribution of elements in phases present in G-AlMg5Si cast alloy with EDX/WDX spectrometers and AES

Summary The mechanical properties of the most aluminium alloys depend strongly on their chemical composition, casting methods and the heat treatment. Alloys of the type G-AlMg₅Si are known for good corrosion resistance and mechanical properties at elevated temperatures. Under the trade mark Hydronalium (Hy 511) they are used for the production of cylinder heads for air-cooled Diesel engines. To obtain better chemical characteristics, titanium is added to the alloy. This paper deals with the results obtained during investigations about the distribution of elements in the binary eutectic Mg₂Si and the ternary eutectic as well as with the distribution of titanium in samples of Hy 511, obtained during casting of cylinder heads. Studies of the distribution of the elements were performed using EDX/WDX spectrometers, and the distribution of titanium was studied also with Auger electron spectroscopy.
