Some anomalies in the vibrational spectra of α, β-unsaturated ketones

Summary Some anomalies in the intensities of the bands of the C=C and C=O bonds in the vibrational spectra of , -unsaturated ketones have been explained by a difference in the sequence of the frequencies of the in-phase (_s) and out-of-phase (_as) vibrations of the multiple bonds in their cis (_s<_as) and trans (_s>_as) arrangements.     

Far infrared spectra (500–50 cm−1) of the 2,2′-bipyridine complexes of palladium and platinum halides

Summary The far-i.r. spectra of the title complexes have been examined. Band assignments are based on the shifts induced by ligand deuteration and halide substitution. Deuteration of bipyridine causes large shifts ( >10 cm^–1) in internal ligand modes, intermediate shifts between 2 and 9 cm^–1) in metal-nitrogen stretching and bending modes and small to zero shifts in metal-halide stretching and bending vibrations. Generally, the requirements for square planarC _2v synanetry [two (M–N) and two (M–X) bands] are observed. Previous ambiguities in the assignment of the (M–N) bands have been resolved by the isotopic labelling technique employed in this study.

The high-resolution FTIR spectrum of the fundamental ₈ of borazine ¹⁰B₃ ¹⁴N₃ ¹H₆ was reanalyzed taking into account the ^BB resonance with the combination band (₁₀ + ₁₇). A parameter set for the states ₈ = 1 and ₁₀ = ₁₇ = 1, respectively, is given, reproducing the observed spectrum at least up to J = 30 with experimental accuracy.     

Cleavage of 1,4-diphenylbuta-1,3-diyne on a ruthenium-cobalt cluster: Synthesis and molecular structure of Co2Ru3(μ4−C2Ph)(μ3−C2Ph)(μ-dppm)(μ-CO)2(CO)9

The reaction between Ru₃(₃-²-PhC₂C=CPh)(-dppm)(CO)₈ and Co₂(CO)₈ afforded dark red Co₂Ru₃(₄-C₂Ph)(₃-C₂Ph)(-dppm)(-CO)₂(CO)₉, shown by an X-ray structure determination to contain a strongly twisted Co₂Ru₃ bow-tie cluster (central Co), to which two PhC₂ units derived from cleavage of the original diyne are attached. One a these is strongly interacting with four metal atoms, the other being attached in the familiar ¹,2²-mode. The dppm ligand remains bridging two of the Ru atoms.     

Infrarotspektren von Nickel- und Kobaltphosphit

Zusammenfassung Es wurden Infrarotabsorptionsspektren von NiHPO₃·4 H₂O und den - und -Isomeren von CoHPO₃·2 H₂O im Bereich von 700 bis 3600 cm^–1 aufgezeichnet und die Banden entsprechend zugeordnet. Aus den Spaltungswerten der Absorptionsbande der antisymmetrischen Valenzschwingung _as der PO₃-Gruppe folgt, daß durch den Einfluß der Kationen die Symmetrie des Phosphitanions verringert ist, und am besten mit Punktgruppe C_s beschrieben werden kann. Dies wird durch Vergleich der Wellenzahl der symmetrischen Valenzschwingung _s (PO₂) mit dem nach derRobinsonschen Beziehung ermittelten Wert bestätigt. Aus den Wellenzahlen der Valenzschwingungen _s (PO₂), _as (PO₂) und (PO) wurden die Kraftkonstanten und Längen der PO-Bindungen berechnet, die den beim Kupferphosphit und Magnesiumphosphit mittels Röntgenstrukturanalyse ermittelten Werten entsprechen. Aus der Form der Absorptionsbande der Valenzschwingung der OH-Gruppe wurde die Möglichkeit des Vorkommens einer Wasserstoffbindung über ein Wassermolekül diskutiert.

Infrared spectra of nickel and cobalt phosphite

The IR spectra of NiHPO₃·4 H₂O and of the -and -isomers of CoHPO₃·2 H₂O have been recorded in the 700–3600 cm^–1 region and frequencies assigned. From splitting values of _as (PO₃) a symmetry decrease of the phosphite anion due to the influence of the cation was found. The symmetry of the phosphite anion therefore is best described under point group C_s. A confirmation was possible by comparing the experimentally obtained symmetric stretching mode _s (PO₂) with the value calculated from Robinson's equation. Stretching vibration wave numbers were used to calculate force constants and PO-bond lengths; these agree with bond lengths found by X-ray analysis of Cu- and Mg-phosphites. The possible existence of a hydrogen bond due to the presence of a water molecule was discussed on the basis of the shape of the _OH bond.

Analysis of the Temperature and Composition Dependence of Viscosimetric Properties of 2-Butanone <Emphasis Type="Bold">+</Emphasis> 2-Butanol Solvent Mixtures

Kinematic viscosities were measured for 2-butanone + 2-butanol binary liquid mixtures with a capillary Ubbelohde routine viscometer in the temperature range from 273.15 to 353.15 K at atmospheric pressure, and covering the whole miscibility field (0x_i1). Experimental data have been correlated by means of different empirical or semiempirical relationships, such as =(T), =(x_i), and =(T, x_i). Viscosity deviations, , from ideal behavior are negative at all experimental conditions, confirming that structure breaking effects prevail in the liquids. Furthermore, the thermodynamics of viscous flow and excess Gibbs energy of activation of viscous flow, G*^E, have been calculated. As an alternative and complementary approach to such investigations, the fluidity () of this binary system has been analyzed by the modified—Batschinski theory. The results are discussed in terms of the specific molecular interactions between the mixture components.

IR-Untersuchungen an B-Tris (dimethylamino) boroxin und B-Tris[dimethylamino (d6)] boroxin

Zusammenfassung In B-Tri(dimethylamino)boroxin zeigt — im Gegensatz zum B-Trimethoxyboroxin — die B–O-Hauptbande nur geringe Kopplung mit CH₃-Deformationsschwingungen. Die B–N-Valenzbande tritt hingegen mit _sCH₃ in Wechselwirkung, wodurch Banden mit gemischtem Schwingungscharakter entstehen. In der deuterierten Verbindung liegt BN verkoppelt mit BO bei 1461 cm^–1

Über die Wasserstoffbrückenbindungen zwischen der Phosphorylgruppe und phenolischem Hydroxyl

Zusammenfassung Mit Hilfe der IR-Spektroskopie wurde nachgewiesen, daß tertiäre Phosphinoxide mit Phenolen über Wasserstoffbrücken zu festen kristallinen Addukten assoziieren. Die Verschiebung der OH-Valenzschwingungsbande des Phenols ( OH) wurde bestimmt, wobei die Substituenten an der Phosphorylgruppe die Lage der Assoziationsbande bestimmen. Die P=O-Valenzschwingungsbande des Phosphinoxids erfährt ebenfalls eine Verschiebung nach einer kleineren Wellenzahl. Die P=O-Werte liegen zwischen 23 und 55 cm^–1 je nach eingesetzter phenolischer Verbindung.

IR spectroscopy was used to demonstrate that tertiary phosphine oxides form solid crystalline adducts with phenols by way of hydrogen bonds. The shifts of the bands assigned to the phenolic hydroxyl groups were determined and found to depend on the substitutents of the phosphoryl group. The P=O stretching vibration is also shifted, if this group takes part in hydrogen bonding. The P=O values found range from 23 to 55 cm^–1 according to phenols used in adduct formation.

     

State of the structural hydroxyl groups in minerals of the kaolinite group according to infrared spectroscopic data

An interpretation of the IR spectra of kaolinite, dickite, and nacrite is proposed, based on the concept of resonance interaction of two intrasurface hydroxyl groups, and their manifestation in the spectrum as a split doublet 30 cm^–1 and by the individual vibration of a third intrasurface OH-group. The structural identification of each band in the IR spectra of the kaolinite minerals is given. It was demonstrated that thermal dehydroxylation under vacuum of kaolinite occurred in two stages with activation energies of 43 and 84 kJ/mole. The activation energy of proton delocalization of the structural hydroxyl groups of kaolinite has been evaluated (E 13 kJ/mole). The contribution of the energy of the interlayer hydrogen bonds (AH 28 kJ/mole) to the total cohesion energy of adjoining layers of kaolinite (E_c 165 kJ/mole) was calculated.Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Éksperimental'naya Khimiya, Vol. 21, No. 1, pp. 73–81, January–February, 1985.     

Diffusion Sensor of Mechanical Signals: Frequency Response at High Frequencies

The frequency response of a diffusion transducer with gauze electrodes, studied theoretically at high frequencies, is proportional to ^-3/2 starting with = D/R ² at < /R ² and to ^-1 at > /R ². Here, = 2f, f is the signal frequency, the electrolyte viscosity, D a diffusion coefficient, and R the radius of the gauze filaments. The calculation is compared with experiment.     

Phase separation of poly(γ-benzyl L-glutamate) to liquid crystal and isotropic solution in various helicogenic solvents

Solvent effects on the phase separation of poly(-benzyl L-glutamate) to liquid crystal and isotropic solution have been observed in various helicogenic solvents. The temperature-composition phase diagrams have been determined for each solution. The critical concentrations, ₂ ^* , at which the phase separation occours have been compared in various solvents. In dimethylformamide in which the polymer is molecularly dispersed, the observed ₂ ^* value has agreed with that calculated by Flory's theory. In some solvents in which the polymer aggregates in a head-to-tail mode such as chloroform, the observed ₂ ^* values have been considerably small. It is assumed that the polymer aggregates behave as longer particles than the original particles. In dioxane in which the polymer aggregates highly both in a head-to-tail and a side-by-side modes, the ₂ ^* value has been a little larger than that in chloroform. In this case the relationship between the aggregation and the liquid crystal formation is so complicated that further investigation is necessary. In aromatic solvents such asm-cresol that dissolves the polymer almost molecularly, the ₂ ^* is smaller than that in dimethylformamide. Therefore, the intermolecular interactions between the phenyl groups in the side groups of the polymer and those in solvent molecules must be considered.The author is grateful to Mr. K. Sano and Mr. M. Watanabe for their observation of the liquid crystal formation.

Atranes

The infrared absorption spectra over the range 400–1700 cm^–1 of ten organyl- and organoxysilatranes, p-CH₃C₆H₄O] are investigated. The SiN coordinate link in these compounds is largely unreflected in the fundamental vibration frequencies of the bonds of the central silicon atom or the internal vibration frequencies of the substituents X linked to that atom. However, all the IR spectra have an absorption band in the 570 cm^–1 region, related to the valence vibrations (SiN), or manifesting itself as the frequency (Si-O) of the XSi (O)₃ group, substantially lowered because of interaction between the Si-O and Si-N bonds. Evidence in favor of this bond is shift of the (Si-H) frequency in the spectrum of silatrane(X=H).For Part V see [1].     

Kinetics of Free Radical Generation in the Catalytic Oxidation of Methanol

The formation of free radicals over the surface of platinum-containing catalysts in the methanol oxidation reaction depending on the temperature, the composition of the reaction mixture, and the procedure used for introducing platinum was studied by the matrix isolation method technique. The nature and transformations of surface intermediates depending on the temperature and the presence of oxygen in the gas phase were studied by Fourier transform IR spectroscopy. The main surface intermediate was the methoxy group. The following three types of these groups were stabilized in alumina-based catalysts: (I) CH₃O–Al_oct (_s(–) = 2806 cm^–1), (II) CH₃O–Al_tetr (_s(–) = 2825 cm^–1), and (III) CH₃O < (Al)₂ (_S(–) = 2845 cm^–1, _s(–) = 1460 cm^–1, _s(–) = 1440 cm^–1, r _|| (₃) = 1185 cm^–1, and (–) = 1095 cm^–1). At the same time, isolated methoxy groups (_as(–) = 2997 cm^–1, _as(–) = 2959 cm^–1, _s(–) = 2857 cm^–1, and (₃) = 1450 cm^–1) and hydrogen-bonded groups ((–) = 3400–3550 cm^–1), which resulted from chemisorption at siloxane bridges, were stabilized in silica gel–based catalysts. It was found that CH₃O and CH₃OO radicals were formed only over the surfaces of pure supports (SiO₂ and Al₂O₃) and their mechanical mixtures with platinum. The total concentration of radicals was described by an extremal function of the composition of reactants, whereas the relative concentration depends on the nature of the support. This is conceivably due to the effect of coordinatively unsaturated cations of the support, which are formed by dehydroxylation in the course of catalyst pretreatment. An increase in the rate of formation of gas-phase radicals on mixed catalysts was explained by special properties of the platinum/support interface region, at which surface intermediates were formed in superequilibrium concentrations under reaction conditions.     

Nitrogen Trichloride Decomposition in the Presence of Molecular Hydrogen: I. Promotion of Nitrogen Trichloride Decomposition by Molecular Hydrogen Additives Near the Lower Self-Ignition Limit

The promotion of the branched-chain decomposition of nitrogen trichloride by molecular hydrogen additives at room temperature and 20 torr manifests itself in a decrease in the induction period and the acceleration of reactant consumption with an increase in the hydrogen concentration in the NCl₃+ H₂+ He mixtures. The emission spectrum of the H₂+ NCl₃flame contains the intense bands of NCl (b ¹⁺– X ^3–, = 1 – 0, = 0 – 1, and = 0 – 0, where is the vibrational quantum number) and the bands of a hydrogen-free compound. The latter bands can be assigned to electronically excited NCl ₂radicals formed in the H + NCl₃reaction. The calculations restrict the number of elementary reactions favoring promotion. The promotion effect in the system studied should be due to the side reaction of linear branching. The occurrence of the H + NCl₃reaction via two pathways (NHCl + 2Cl and NCl ₂+ HCl) ensures the qualitative agreement between the experimental data and calculation.     

Triphenylphosphineoxide nitrosyl complexes of molybdenum

Summary The tetramethylthiourea (TMTU) complexes of cobalt(II) and nickel(II) halides have been studied in the solid state by electronic, i.r. and far i.r. spectroscopy and magnetochemically. The tetrahedral Co(TMTU)₂X₂ (X = Cl, Br, 1) and Ni(TMTU)₂X₂ (X = Cl, Br) complexes have normal magnetic moments, electronic spectra and crystal field parameters; Ni₂ (TMTU)₃I₄ is diamagnetic. The cobalt complexes have normal (CoX) and (CoX) vibrational frequencies. Ni(TMTU)₂Cl₂ and Ni₂(TMTU)₃I₄ have (NiX) frequencies corresponding to long or bridging Ni-X bonds, while Ni(TMTU)₂Br₂ has normal (NiBr) frequencies for terminal Ni-Br bonds. The (MS) frequencies are similar to those of cobalt(II) and nickel(II) complexes of other thioureas.     

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.     

Influence of solvent on ir spectra of aroyl(hydroxymethyl)trifluorosilanes

Conclusions Dipole-dipole interaction of the solvent with molecules of aroyl (hydroxymethyl) trifluorosilanes 4-XC₆H₄COOCH₂SiF₃ is responsible for changes in frequency of the stretching vibrations of groups included in a five-membered ring, containing an intramolecular coordination bond Si 0 (the frequencies C=O and SiF _a , are lowered, and the frequencies _asCOC are raised). The value of the orientation-induction parameter in the Buckingham equation, reflecting the dependence of C=O and SiF _a on the parameters of the medium (, n), increases with increasing electron-donor capability of the substituent X, indicating an increase in the strength of the coordination bond. The coefficient in the Hammett equation is determined by the polar properties of the medium.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 10, pp. 2251–2254, October, 1984.     

Fluxional nickel(II)- and palladium (II)-triazenido (C5H5)(L)(RN3R)M complexes; Evidence for a triplet-state intermediate

Summary The (⁵-C₅H₅)(L)(RN₃R)Ni and (⁵-C₅H₅)(PPh₃)(RN₃R)Pd compounds, with L = PPh₃, CO, CNR, and RN₃R = diaryltriazenido anion, were prepared. The bonding mode of the triazenido ligand is monodentate in the (⁵-C₅H₅)(PPh₃)(RN₃R)M phosphine compounds. The carbonyl and isonitrile groups are inserted into the nickel-nitrogen bond and a five-membered heteronuclear ring is formed in (⁵-C₅-C₅H₅)(L)(RN₃R)Ni, when L= CO and CNR.Most compounds are fluxional, involving site exchange of the triazenidoaryl-groupsvia intermediates with a chelating bonding mode of the triazenido ligand. The (⁵-C₅H₅)(PPh₃)(RN₃R)Ni compound shows anomalous solution paramagnetism, that is correlated with the fluxional mechanism. The temperature dependence of contact shifts in the n.m.r. spectrum was determined and E-values were calculated.
