Charge control of phenol complexation with unsaturated compounds containing group IVB organometallic substituents. Interpretation of NMR spectra of acetylenic derivatives

²⁹Si and ¹¹⁹Sn chemical shifts in the NMR spectra of acetylenic derivatives Me₃ECCX (E = Si or Sn; X — organic substituents) and shifts of frequencies () of stretching vibrations of OH groups in the IR spectra of phenol when hydrogen-bonded to these compounds have been analyzed. In each of two series (E = Si or Sn), the and values are connected by a linear relationship; this indicates that there is virtually no effect of the magnetic anisotropy of the X substituents on the chemical shifts. It has been established that the shifts of the frequencies and the ²⁹Si and ¹¹⁹Sn chemical shifts are the relative characteristics of the effective negative charge on the carbon atoms of the triple bond in Me₃ECCX compounds.For the previous communication of this series, see Ref. 1.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Charge control of the complex formation of phenol with unsaturated compounds containing organoelement substituents from group IV

The frequency shifts (v (OH)) of phenol and the resonance components (v_r) of these shifts in the IR spectra of forty H-complexes of phenol with furan derivatives containing organic, organosilicon, organogermanium, and organotin substituents are studied. The values of v and v_R are linearly related to quantum chemical parameters of the variation of the effective charges of the furan ring atoms affected by - and -interactions with organic substituents. The effect of the conjugation between an organoelement substituent and the furan ring on the effective charges is estimated. The resonance parameters (_R) of organoelement substituents in derivatives of benzene, thiophene, and furan and the reasons for the non-versatility of _R are considered.For report 7, see Ref. 1.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Features of the Tautomerism of Some α-Substituted Pyridines

The AM1 quantum-chemical semi-empirical method was used to calculate the values of the enthalpy of activation (H^#), the heats of reaction (H), and the tautomeric equilibrium constants (K_T) for several -substituted pyridines. It was found that the keto-enol tautomeric conversion in -pyridone occurs more readily than the amino-imino conversion in 2-aminopyridine but in 2-methylpyridine the tautomeric equilibrium does not exist at all.     

Infrared spectroscopy of hydrogen bond and substituent effects in electron donor molecules

The frequency shift, , of the O—H stretching mode in the IR spectra of the H-complexes of phenol with electron donor molecules BX_i (B is the n- or -donor center and X_i are substituents; a total of eight series), the change in the Gibbs free energy, G, due to H-complexation, and the parameter (a measure of the ability of BX_i molecules to donate an electron pair; two series) are determined by both the electrostatic interaction and charge transfer in the formation of H-complex. The , G, and values depend not only on the inductive and resonance effects, but also the polarizability of substituents characterized by the parameters.

Charge control of phenol complexation with unsaturated compounds containing organosilicon substituents. Thiophene derivatives

The frequency shifts of the O-H stretching modes and the resonance components _R of these shifts in the IR spectra of H-complexes of phenol with thiophene derivatives having organic and organosilicon substituents have been analyzed. Relationship of and _R parameters to values calculated by nonempirical methods that characterize the electronic effect of organic substituents on the effective charges of the thiophene ring atoms has been established. It has been shown that in the complexation of phenol (hard acid) with thiophene derivatives charge control prevails over frontier orbital control. The changes in the effective charges of the thiophene ring atoms due to the effect of organosilicon substituents have been calculated.For the previous publication of this series see Ref. 1.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

XPS and chemisorption studies of the surface layer of Pd?Ag catalysts for CO oxidation

XPS and chemisorption studies of the surface composition of a Pd–Ag alloy (5% Pd) before and after its application in CO oxidation have been performed. It is shown that in a freshly prepared sample the bulk and surface layer compositions are the same. High-temperature treatment of the catalyst in the reaction medium leads to a thermodynamic equilibrium between surface and bulk.

Oxidation of [Co(en)2(SOCH2CO2)]+ by S2O82− and by IO4− in binary aqueous solvent mixtures at pressures up to 1.25 kbar

Second order rate constants and activation parameters H, S, and V have been measured for the oxidation of [Co(en)2(SOCH2CO2)]+ by S2O82– and by IO4– in highly aqueous H2O – t-BuOH mixtures. The changes in solvation on going from the initial to the transition state are discussed on the basis of the transfer functions Gto, Hto and Sto. Whereas Gt changes smoothly as the proportion of t-BuOH increases, the plots of Ht and TSt exhibit mirror behaviour and pass through extrema located around x2(t- BuOH)=0.038. Information on the role of solvation is complemented by the determination of activation volumes. These are discussed in terms of intrinsic and solvational contributions. It is proposed that changes in hydrophobic hydration are of principal importance in determining the response of H, S, and V to changes in solvent composition in H2O – t-BuOH mixtures.

Association and relative acidities of 2-substituted 5-trifluoroacetylpyrroles

The acidities of 2-substituted 5-trifluoroacetylpyrroles were studied by IR spectroscopy from the shift of the frequency of the NH stretching vibration (_NH) in the presence of dimethylformamide (DMF) relative to the band of vibrations of free NH. The existence of a correlation relationship between _NH and _I constitutes evidence that the acidities of pyrroles are determined primarily by the inductive effect of the substituents in the 2 and 5 positions of the pyrrole ring. The low probability of the formation of an intramolecular NH... O=C hydrogen bond in the investigated molecules was demonstrated.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 6, pp. 772–774, June, 1984.

Transverse photothermal deflection spectroscopy (PDS) applied to thermal diffusiyity measurements

Transverse photothermal deflection spectroscopy(PDS) is applied for the determination of thermal diffusivities of solid surfaces. The theory of PDS is briefly recalled and some approximated analytical formulae concerning the transverse configuration are derived. In materials where the thermal diffusivity is smaller than that of the air, the dependence of the deflection angle on the displacement between pump and probe beams is shown to have a minimum that relates to the thermal diffusivity, thereby allowing its straightforward measurement. Measurements carried out on Al₂O₃ samples with different porosities at room temperature show a good agreement between experiment and theory.

Zusammenfassung Die transverse photothermische Reflektionsspektroskopie (PDS) wird zur Bestimmung der thermischen Diffusivität von festen Oberflächen herangezogen. Die Theorie der PDS wird kurz dargelegt und einige sich auf die transverse Konfiguration beziehenden analytischen Näherungsgleichungen abgeleitet. Es wird gezeigt, daß bei Materialien mit kleinerer thermischer Diffusivität als Luft die Abhängigkeit des Deflektionswinkels von der Ablenkung zwischen Pumpen- und Probenstrahl ein Minimum aufweist, das mit der thermischen Diffusivität im Zusammenhang steht und somit deren zuverlässige Messung ermöglicht. An Al₂O₃-Proben unterschiedlicher Porosität bei Raumtemperatur ausgeführte Messungen zeigen gute Übereinstimmung von Experiment und Theorie.

Thermodynamic behavior of mixed benzodiazepines by a new liquid chromatographic method

Summary Using a rapid chemometric methodology to determine the separation factor, , at different temperatures, Gibbs Helmholtz parameters ( (H), (S), (G)) of two adjacent benodiazepines on a chromatogram were obtained from ln versus T^–1 plots. A temperature dependent reversal of the elution order was studied and the mobile phase composition and column temperature were optimized to obtain the best separation. A flow rate of 0.80 ml min^–1 with 52.6% methanol in the methanol-water mixture and a column temperature of 48°C gave the most efficient separation of ten benzodiazepines.
