Absolute dipole differential oscillator strengths for inner shell spectra from high resolution electron energy loss studies of the freon molecules CF4, CF3Cl, CF2Cl2, CFCl3 and CCl4

Absolute differential photoabsorption oscillator strengths (cross sections) for the F 1s, C 1s, and Cl 2p, 2s inner shells of the freon molecules CF₃Cl, CF₂Cl₂ and CFCl₃ have been derived from high resolution electron energy loss spectra obtained under dipole dominated conditions of high impact energy (3 keV) and zero degree mean scattering angle. Differential oscillator strengths have also been obtained from earlier reported electron energy loss spectra for CF₄ and CCl₄. The spectra are analyzed using the MO picture and the potential barrier model.     

Negative ion formation in CF2Cl2, CF3Cl and CFCl3 following low energy (0—10 eV) impact with near monoenergetic electrons

Negative ion formation in CF₂Cl₂, CF₃Cl and CFCl₃ under low-energy electron impact has been investigated using a trochoidal monochromat The ions observed are F^?, Cl^?, FCl^?, Cl₂^?, CFCl₂^? from CF₂Cl₂; F^?, Cl^?, FCl^?, CF₂Cl Quoting available thermochemical data, it can be shown that most of the observed negative ions arise from dissociative attachment processes. Appearance The extremely high yield of Cl^? in CFCl₃, which is observed at ε = 0.0 eV, will be discussed with regard to the lifetime of this molecule i     

Trifluoromethylperoxyphoshoryl difluoride,CF3OOPOF2 and trifluoromethoxyphosphoryl difluoride,CF3OPOF2

The new compounds CF₃OOPOF₂ and CF₃OPOF₂ have been prepared by the reaction of trifluoromethyl-hydroperoxide, CF₃OOH, with μ-oxo-bis-(phosphoryl difluoride), P₂O₃F₄, and difluorophosphine-μ-oxo-phosphoryl difluoride, P₂O₂F₄. Infrared and NMR spectra, physical properties and some chemical reactions are reported for the compounds.     

Kinetics of the reaction of CF3O2 with NO

The rate coefficient for the reaction of CF₃O₂ with NO has been measured at 295 K in helium using a flow tube sampled by a mass spectrometer. The value obtained for this rate coefficient was (17.8 ± 3.6) × 10^?12 cm^?3 s^?1 and found to be independent of [He] over the range (6.3 ? 16.8) × 10¹⁶ cm^?3. This value is approximately a factor of 2 higher than earlier measurements of the rate coefficients for CH₃O₂ and C₂H₅O₂ with NO and indicates that further measurements are required for this important class of reactions.     

O- versus F-protonation in (CF3CF2)2O and CF3OCF(CF3)2: a preliminary theoretical study

The relative modifications induced in the structure of perfluorodiethyl ether (CF₃CF₂)₂O and perfluoroisopropyl methyl ether CF₃OCF(CF₃)₂ by oxygen and fluorine protonation are studied at the RHF level with the 3–21G basis and correlated with their proton affinities and dissociation energies.     

The unusual chemical equilibria F3SSF ⇌ 2 SF2 and CF3SF2SCF3 ⇌ 2CF3SF

In order to understand more about the instability of sulfur difluoride, we have investigated the chemical interrelations between each of the monomers SF₂ and CF₃SF and the corresponding dimers F₃SSF and CF₃SF₂SCF₃. Thus we have found that SF₂ and CF₃SF exist in chemical equilibria with their dimers. These equilibria are unusual because they involve two different bonds (SF and SS). The equilibrium constants and dissociatíon enthalpies have been determined by i.r. and mass spectroscopic measurements.

The equilibrium between F₃SSF and SF₂ is disturbed by a decomposition reaction of these compounds yielding SF₄ and SSF₂. In both systems (1) and (2) the achievement of the equilibrium is comparatively slow at ?30 to 30 °C. The rates for dissociation and decomposition are strongly surface-dependent and the kinetics of the two processes have been studied separately. Under favorable conditions the half-lives at 298 K for the dissociation of F₃SSF and CF₃SF₂SCF₃ are found to be ca. 8.h and ca. 2 h, respectively, and for the decomposition of SF₂ to SF₄ and SSF₂ and CF₃SF to CF₃SF₃ and CF₃SSCF₃ (p?13 mbar) the values are ca. 10 h and 1 year respectively.     

Novel ammonium hexafluoroarsenate salts from reaction of (CF3)2NH,CF3N(OCF3)H,CF3N[OCF(CF3)2]H,CF3NHF and SF5NHF with the strong acid HF/ASF5.

Reactions of the fluorinated amines (CF₃)₂NH, CF₃N(OCF₃)H, CF₃N[OCF(CF₃)₂]H, CF₃NHF and SF₅NHF with the strong acid HF/AsF₅ form the corresponding ammonium salts R_f¹R_f²NH₂⁺AsF₆^? and R_fNFH₂⁺ AsF₆^? in high yield. [R_f¹=CF₃, R_f²=CF₃, CF₃O, (CF₃)₂CFO; R_f=CF₃, SF₅] The colorless crystalline solids are stable for prolonged periods at 22°C in sealed FEP containers. They have dissociation pressures at 22°C ranging from ～5 torr (R_fNFH₂⁺ AsF₆^?) to ～50 torr [CF₃N(OCF₃)H₂⁺AsF₆^?]. ¹⁹F NMR and Raman spectroscopy were used to identify the compounds.     

AB initio molecular orbital studies of CF3O2H,CF3O2F and CF2(OF)2

Ab initio calculations employing an extended 4-31G basis set have been applied to the highly fluorinated molecules, CF₃O₂H, CF₃O₂F and CF₂(OF)₂. Partial geometry optimizations have also been carried out on these molecules allowing a comparison between theory and the recently completed gas-phase electron diffraction results. The O-O bond distance in CF₃O₂ H is found to be longer (by 0.02 Å) than the corresponding bond in CF₃O₂F while the CO bond is found to be shorter (by 0.02 Å) in CF₃O₂H. The OF bond in CF₃O₂F is found to be longer (by 0.03–0.04 Å) than the corresponding bond in CF₃OF or F₂O. Torsional barriers have been computed for CF₃O₂H and CF₃O₂F with the aid of Fourier analysis of the potential curves. CF₃O₂H is found to have a torsional potential about the peroxide bond rather similar to that found for H₂O₂ while in CF₃O₂F the cis and trans barriers are predicted to be much larger (14.6 and 8.4 kcal mol^?1, respectively). The threefold barrier to rotation of the CF₃ group in CF₃O₂F is predicted to be 4.4 kcal mol^?1. Various conformations of CF₂(OF)₂ have also been studied with conformations consistent with the operation of the gauche-effect being most stable. Bond separation energies and molecular properties have also been computed for these molecules.     

Reaction path dynamics and theoretical rate constants for the SiH3Cl+H→SiH2Cl+H2 reaction by ab initio direct dynamics method

Ab initio direct dynamics method has been used to study the title reaction. Electronic structure information including geometries, gradients and force constants (Hessians) are calculated at the UQCISD/6-311+G^** level. Energies along the minimum energy path are improved by a series of single-point G2//QCISD calculations. The changes of the geometries, vibratioanal frequencies, potential energies and total curvature along the reaction path are discussed. The rate constants in the temperature range 200–3000 K are calculated by canonical variational transition state theory with small-curvature tunneling correction (CVT/SCT) method. The results show that the variational effect is small and in the lower temperature range, the small curvature tunneling effect is important for the reaction.     

Untersuchungen zum reaktiven verhalten von (CF3)2PPH2 und (CF3)2AsPH2

Cleavage of the E-P bond in compounds of the type (CF₃)₂EPh₂(E = P, As) is achieved by polar [HBr, (CF₃)₂EI, (CH₃)₃SnH, (CF₃)₂AsH] and non-polar [Br₂, Mn₂(CO)₁₀] substances. Exchange reactions are possible with (CF₃₄)E₂ and P₂F₄ leading to the unsymmetrical compounds (CF₃)₂PPF₂, (CF₃)₂AsPF₂, (CF₃)₂PAs(CF₃)₂, F₂PPH₂, (CF₃)₂AsPH₂. The reaction of (CF₃)₂PPH₂ with Mn₂(CO)₁₀ gives the new binuclear complex Mn₂(CO)₈PH₂P(CF₃)₂ and Mn₂(CO)₈[P(CF₃)₂]₂. The hitherto unknown compound (CF₃)₂AsPF₂ is obtained by the reaction of (CF₃)₂AsPH₂ with P₂F₄. Adducts of (CF₃)₂PPH₂ with B₂H₆ and (CH₃)₃N, respectively, are discussed. Investigation of the reaction route and characterization of most of the reaction product is based on ¹H and ¹⁹F NMR spectral data.     

Direct dynamics studies for the reactions of CF3CHFCF3 and CF3CF2CHF2 with H atoms

The rate constants of the hydrogen abstraction reactions of CF₃CHFCF₃ + H (R1) and CF₃CF₂CHF₂ + H (R2) have been calculated by means of the dual-level direct dynamics method. Optimized geometries and frequencies of stationary points and extra points along the minimum-energy path (MEP) are obtained at the MPW1K/6-311+G(d,p) level, and the classical energetic information is further corrected with the interpolated single-point energy (ISPE) approach by the G3(MP2) level of theory. Using the canonical variational transition state theory (CVT) with small-curvature tunneling corrections (SCT), the rate constants are evaluated over a wide temperature range of 200-2000 K. The calculated CVT/SCT rate constants are in good agreement with available experimental values. It is found that the variational effect is very small and almost negligible over the whole temperature region. However, the small-curvature tunneling correction plays an important role in the lower temperature range. Furthermore, the heats of formation of species CF₃CF₂CHF₂ (SC₁ or SC₂) and CF₃CF₂CF₂ are studied using isodesmic reactions to further elucidate the thermodynamic properties.     

Perfluormethyl-element-liganden : XXXI. Ligandeneigenschaften von Me2PP(CF3)2 und Me2AsP(CF3)2

The coordinating properties of the trifluoromethyl elemental compounds Me₂PP(CF₃)₂ and Me₂AsP(CF₃)₂ have been studied by the synthesis and spectroscopic investigations (IR, NMR, MS) of their complexes cis-M(CO)₄L₂ (A), [(CO)₄ML]₂ (B) and [(CO)₅M]₂L (C) (M = Cr, Mo, W). Complexes of type A with L = Me₂PP(CF₃)₂ are obtained in good yield by reaction with M(CO)₄NBD (NBD = norbornadiene), whereas with L = Me₂AsP(CF₃)₂ the homobinuclear compounds B are formed. The attempt to prepare the cis-M(CO)₄[Me₂AsP(CF₃)₂]₂ complexes by treating M(CO)₄(Me₂AsH)₂ with P₂(CF₃)₄ is successful only for M = W. Binuclear compounds of type B or C, in general, can be prepared by stepwise reaction of the ligands with either M(CO)₄NBD or M(CO)₅THF.     

Novel synthesis of meso-tetraarylporphyrins using CF3SO2Cl under aerobic oxidation

meso-Tetraarylporphyrins are synthesized from pyrrole and aryl aldehydes cleanly and efficiently in one pot at room temperature using equimolar amount of CF₃SO₂Cl in the presence of air as oxidant. By this novel method 5,10,15,20-tetraarylporphyrins can be prepared in excellent yields.     

Ab Initio calculation of molecular, thermodynamic, and kinetic parameters of CF, CF2, CF3, and C2F5 radicals and CF4, CF3I, C2F4, and C2F6 molecules in gas

Enthalpies of formation of ground states of the gaseous particles CF, CF₂, C₂F₅, CF₄, CF₃I, C₂F₄, and C₂F₆ were calculated by ab initio method in the CCSD(T) approximation with extrapolation to the full basis and regard to the correlation energy. Their equilibrium geometrics, frequencies of normal vibrations, and other values were found by the B3LYP/aug-cc-pvdz method, from which thermodynamic functions within the range of 0–6000 K were calculated. Equilibrium constants were calculated from these functions, and then the information on the rate constants in the limit of high pressures was obtained.     

D-isotope-labelled n-butane cations in CF3CCl3 and in CF2ClCFCl2: Structure and reactions at low temperature

Cations of n-butane, n-butane-1,4-d₆, -d₄, -d₂ and n-butane-2,3-d4 produced by X-irradiation of CF₂ClCFCl₂ and CF₃CCl₃ 3 matrices containing 1–2 mole% of solute have been investigated by ESR spectroscopy. The measurements have been performed at 77–130 K. The results confirm that the two largest couplings are assigned to two protons on the methyl groups. Smaller couplings have been resolved in CF₃CCl₃ and assigned to specific H atoms. A geometry with a non-planar carbon skeleton is proposed. Partly deuterated methyl groups give rise to rotational isomers. Thermal and photoinduced decompositions producing 2-butyl radicals and 2-butane cations have been further studied.     

C(CF3)2OH → OCH(CF3)2 Isomerism in some sulfur and phosphorus compounds

The insertion of (CF₃)₂CO into the PH bond of Me_nH_3?nP yields Me_nH_2?nPC(CF₃)₂OH and Me_nH_1?nP[C(CF₃)₂OH]₂ (n=O, 1), respectively [1]. MeP[C(CF₃)₂OH]₂ rearranges giving the diphosphine [MePOCH(CF₃)₂]₂ and the phosphorane MeP[OCH(CF₃)₂]₄. Me₂PH reacts with (CF₃)₂CO forming several products, e.g. MePF[OCH(CF₃)₂]₂ and Me₂PPMe₂ [1]. The phosphines tBu(R)PH(R=Me, tBu), however, add (CF₃)₂CO giving rise to the phosphinites tBu(R)POCH(CF₃)₂, which furnish stable phosphonium salts upon treating with MeI. (CF₃)₂CO inserts into the SH bond of RSH to yield RSC(CF₃)₂OH (R=H,Me,Ph), which were reacted with MeI, too. Reacting SCl₂ with LiOCH(CF₃)₂ gives S[OCH(CF₃)₂]₂ which is oxidised by chlorine to the sulfurane ClS[OCH(CF₃)₂]₃ [2]. The sulfurane is able to transfer (CF₃)₂CHO groups to phosphorus (III) compounds, e.g. P[OCH(CF₃)₂]₃ and Me₃P yielding P[OCH(CF₃)₂]₅ and [Me₃POCH(CF₃)₂]⁺Cl^?. ClS[OCH(CF₃)₂]₃ gives a stable salt upon reaction with SbCl₅, like ClP[OCH(CF₃)₂]₄. The mechanisms for these reactions are discussed.     

TEA CO2 laser-induced reaction of CH3NO2 with CF2HCl: A mechanistic study

Dissociation of nitromethane has been observed when a mixture of CF₂HCl and CH₃NO₂ is irradiated using pulsed TEA CO₂ laser at 9R (24) line (1081 cm^-1), which is strongly absorbed by CF₂HCl but not by CH₃NO₂. Under low laser fluence conditions, only nitromethane dissociates, whereas at high fluence CF₂HCl also undergoes dissociation, showing that dissociation occurs via the vibrational energy transfer processes from the TEA CO₂ laser-excited CF₂HCl to CH₃NO₂. Time-resolved infrared fluorescence from vibrationally excited CF₂HCl and CH₃NO₂ molecules as well as UV absorption of CF₂ radicals are carried out to elucidate the dynamics of excitation/dissociation and the chemical reactions of the dissociation products.     

Molecular structure of van der Waals complex of o- and m-methylaniline with CF3Cl, CF3H, CF4 and CH4 studied by laser induced fluorescence spectroscopy and ab initio calculations

The excitation LIF spectra of van der Waals complexes of o- and p-methylaniline and CF₃Cl, CF₃H, CH₄ and CF₄ in a supersonic free jet are reported. The spectra show a resolved structure characteristic due to the internal rotational transitions of the methyl group. The equilibrium geometries in the ground state of the complexes have been calculated at MP2/6-31+G^∗ level of calculation and the intermolecular interaction have been discussed.
