Solubility of Solid Hexane and Cyclohexane in Liquid Argon at 87.3 K

The solubilities of solid hexane and cyclohexane in liquid argon at 87.3 K have been measured by the filtration method. The hexane and cyclohexane content in solution was determined using gas chromatography. The solubilities of the C₆ hydrocarbons in liquid argon at 87.3 K are (0.56 ± 0.11) × 10^-7 mole fraction for hexane and (1.04 ± 0.30) × 10^-7 mole fraction for cyclohexane. The Preston–Prausnitz method was used for calculation of the solubilities of solid hexane and cyclohexane in liquid argon in the temperature range 84–110 K. The values of the solvent–solute interaction constant l₁₂ were also calculated.

Synthesis and structural characterization of 3,4-diphenylcyclopenta-2,4-diene-1 thione and its reactivity with V(V)

In the first part of this work, we have studied the reactivity of an ethanolic solution of diphenylthiocarbazone (C₁₃H₁₂N₄S) with an aqueous solution of vanadium(V), leading to a new compound C₁₇H₁₂S (L). This compound was crystallographically characterized and identified by XRD. This technique reveals no metal in the structure. Then, we reacted L with the same metal, producing a dimeric complex V₂O₄(L)₂(H₂O)₂(OH)₂ (C1), characterized by elemental analysis, IR, UV–Visible, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, and ⁵¹V NMR spectra. A probable structure has been proposed.

Structure Identification of Aporphine Alkaloids by On‐Line Coupling of HPLC‐NMR with Loop Storage

The potential of coupling HPLC separation methodology to on‐line high resolution nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy has been demonstrated with a mixture of nine aporphine alkaloids. A loop storage procedure after separation has facilitated the identification of closely eluted peaks (α = k₂/k₁ = 1.01 and Δv = 0.37 min = 367 μL). These were collected off‐line and identified by a 1D ¹H NMR spectrum. For this purpose an automated procedure has been implemented which includes the use of shaped pulses, multiple solvents suppression and ¹³C satellite suppression of acetonitrile.     

Destruction of aspen wood by the fungusPhanerochaete sanguinea quantitative1H and13C NMR spectroscopies of biologically degraded lignin

The lignin of mechanically ground aspen wood and lignins isolated from aspen wood attacked by the fungusPhanerochaete sanguinea have been investigated by quantitative¹H and¹³C NMR spectroscopies. It has been shown that the biodestruction of the lignin takes place through the cleavage of alkyl-aryl and aryl-aryl bonds and is accompanied by demethylation (demethoxylation) reactions, and the oxidation of C_α and C_γ atoms. In addition to reactions in which the C—C bonds are cleaved, the formation of ether bonds has been observed. An interconnection has been shown between the variations in the amount of functional groups, fragments, and the bonds in biolignins and the loss in mass of the wood. A method is proposed for evaluating the carbohydrate content in lignin preparations using the NMR method.     

Preconcentration of Volatile Hydrocarbons as Air Pollutants by C-18 Bonded Silica used for Solid Phase Extraction

ABSTRACT

C₁₈-Silica used for Solid-Phase Extraction exhibits the same degree of adsorption of volatile hydrocarbons as compared to conventional Tenax adsorbent. The vapor pressure of the hydrocarbons and the velocity of the air sample through the sorbent are dominants of the preconcentration. Recovery of 80% for n-hexane and 98% for p-xylene at a concentration of 10 mg.m^?3 was obtained at 10 ml.g^?.min^? velocity.

C₁₈Bond Elut cartridges have been successfully used for quantitative determination of hydrocarbons as air pollutants by gas chromatography. The detection limit for p-xylene using preconcentration from 1 L air sample and a S/N ratio of 5 was 0.1 mg.m^?3. After regeneration of C₁₈Bond Elut cartridges by washing with acetonitrile and diethyl ether and drying at 85°C/15 min, their preconcentration potential remain acceptable upon reusing at least three times.     

Conformational effects in compounds with 6-membered rings—XIII : Detection of twist conformers using 13C NMR chemical shifts

¹³C NMR spectra of derivatives of cyclohexane, piperidine, and thian in chair and twist eonformers, and of model compounds, lead to estimates of deshielding (Δδ = 3.6 ± 0.2 ppm) for axial C$\text{Me}$₃ on a cyclohexane ring and shielding (Δδ = ?0.2 to ?0.6 ppm) for ψe-C$\text{Me}$₃ in twist conformers, relative to equatorial C$\text{Me}$₃. Ring carbon atoms are considerably shielded in twist conformers relative to chair eonformers. The value of ¹³C chemical shifts in the study of chair-twist equilibria is exemplified by variable temperature measurements on diastereomeric pairs of compounds (11 and 13; 38 and 50).     

Iodo cyclofunctionalization of 2,4‐dialkenyl‐1,3‐dicarbonyl compounds: Synthesis of substituted 3‐(2‐furylidene)‐2‐furanones

A facile method for the synthesis of substituted 3‐(2‐furylidene)‐2‐furanones has been developed using cyclofunctionalization reactions of 2,4‐dialkenyl‐1,3‐dicarbonyl compounds and iodine as electrophile in the presence of Na₂CO₃, in refluxing chloroform. Compounds 4 are obtained in modest to good yields and their structural identification was established by ¹H NMR, ¹H COSY, ¹³C NMR and ¹H‐¹³C COSY. A mechanism has been proposed to rationalize the formation of the ylidene furanone.     

Synthesis and characterization of a novel η 2-iminoacyl monocyclopentadienyl titanium(IV) complex

An unusual complex, [CpTi(η²-(C,N)-2-ArNH–C₆H₄C=NAr)Cl₂] (Ar?=?2,6- ⁱ Pr₂C₆H₃) (1) has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, NMR spectra, and single crystal X-ray diffraction. The ¹³C NMR resonance of the imine carbon atom of 1 at δ?221?ppm is consistent with the η²-(C,N) binding. This was confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction study of 1. In the complex, Ti atom is five-coordinate with a η²-bound iminoacyl ligand and one Cp ligand occupying the axial position in a distorted square pyramid.     

Conformational equilibrium in 8-methyl-cis-2-thiahydrindane and 8-methyl-cis-2-oxahydrindane by 13C NMR spectroscopy

The preferred conformation of 8-methyl-cis-thiahydrindane has been both estimated by ¹³C NMR chemical shifts and determined by low temperature ¹³C NMR spectroscopy to be the conformer with the methyl group equatorial with respect to the cyclohexane ring. This result is in disagreement with the interpretation of the temperature dependence of the CD spectra of (+) and (?) 8-methyl-cis-2-thiahydrindane, whereby the conformation with the methyl group axial with respect to the cyclohexane ring was claimed to be the preferred conformation. The preferred conformation of the related oxygen heterocycle, 8-methyl-cis-2-oxahydrindane, has been estimated by ¹³C NMR chemical shifts to be the conformer with the methyl group axial with respect to the cyclohexane ring. Possible reasons for these observations are discussed.     

Synthesis,spectral characterization,and antimicrobial activity of copper(II), cobalt(II), and nickel(II) complexes of 3-formylchromoniminopropylsilatrane

A new series of Cu(II), Ni(II), and Co(II) complexes have been synthesized from 3-formylchromoniminopropylsilatrane (C₁₉H₂₄O₅N₂Si) (2) and 3-formylchromoniminopropyltriethoxysilane (1). Silatrane ligand (C₁₉H₂₄O₅N₂Si) (2) has been synthesized by the reaction between 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane and 3-formylchromone followed by a treatment with triethanolamine. The nature of bonding and the geometry of the complexes have been deduced from elemental analyses, magnetic susceptibility, infrared, electronic, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, and ESR spectral studies. The electronic absorption spectra and magnetic susceptibility measurements of the complexes indicate square planar geometry for Cu(II) and Ni(II) and tetrahedral geometry for Co(II). The redox behavior of copper complexes was studied by cyclic voltammetry. The biological activity of the ligand and metal complexes has been studied on Klebsiella pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia Coli, and Bacillus subtilis by the well diffusion method using acetonitrile as solvent. The zone of inhibition values were measured at 37°C for 24 h. Antimicrobial screening tests show better results for the metal complexes than the ligand.

The novel tripodal phosphine ligand cis, cis-1,3,5-tris(diphenylphosphino)-1,3,5-tris(methoxycarbonyl)cyclohexane (tdppcyme) (2) has been synthesized. ¹H, ¹³C and ³¹P NMR spectroscopy shows that in solution the sterically demanding diphenylphosphine groups occupy equatorial positions on the cyclohexane ring. An X-ray crystal investigation confirms this result for the solid state. Treatment of tdppcyme with Mo(η⁶-C₇H₈)(CO)₃ gives Mo(tdppcyme)(CO)₃ (3), with octahedral molybdenum coordination.

Distribution of Hydrocarbons in Soil Through Contamination from a Leaking Natural Gas Pipeline

Abstract

A plume of hydrocarbon contamination in soil from a leaking natural gas pipeline located at a depth of 80 cm was defined on the basis of discoloration of soil at 3 to 7 cm depth. Eleven sites were selected randomly on a grid superimposed on a map of the 240 m² plume and 48 soil samples at depths from 7 cm to 150 cm were collected. Samples were individually extracted using cyclohexane in a Soxhlet extraction apparatus. Condensed extracts were analyzed using capillary GC and GC/MS techniques to determine quantitatively the dinstribution of C₁₀ to C₃₅ hydrocarbons in soil. In solvent extracts of the soils, over 150 organic compounds were resolved and detected at total concentrations from 0.1 to 2700 ppm. The vertical distribution of hydrocarbons was consistent throughout the plume with higher concentrations of all components with increased proximity to the surface. The hydrocarbons moved vertically from the leak and diffused horizontally along an interface created at 15 to 30 cm by the addition 20 years earlier of a dense clay soil to a naturally high-gypsum base. Ratios of soil concentrations in three size ranges for the hydrocarbons were used to evaluate the physical mechanism for gaseous migration and environmental fate of the hydrocarbons. These ratios were not uniform at every site and depth throughout the plume. Results were consistent with differences in mobility and fate of the hydrocarbons in the soil based on volatility and adsorption. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons present in the natural gas and in the pipeline residue were also found in some but not all soil samples under the conditions of extraction and analyses which were not optimized in the soil-extraction of the aromatic compounds.     

Synthesis and structural characterization of ferrocenyl indenyl derivatives

In this study, four ferrocenyl indenyl derivatives, C₉H₇–C≡C–Fc (1), C₉H₇–C≡C–Ph–Fc (2), C₉H₇–C≡C–Ph–C≡C–Fc (3), and C₉H₇–Ph–C≡C–Fc (4) (where C₉H₇=indenyl; Fc=C₅H₅FeC₅H₄; Ph=C₆H₅), have been synthesized by Sonogashira and Suzuki cross-coupling reactions and characterized by elemental analysis, and FT-IR, ¹H, ¹³C-NMR, and MS spectroscopic methods, respectively. The molecular structures of 1, 2, and 4 were determined by X-ray single crystal diffraction. Two molecules appeared in the crystal structure of 4, and they interact through an intermolecular hydrogen bond. The electrochemical redox potential differences in 1–4 were investigated using cyclic voltammetry and calculations.
