SENSITIZED PHOTOOXYGENATION ACCORDING TO TYPE I MECHANISM (RADICAL MECHANISM) — PART II. FLASH PHOTOLYSIS EXPERIMENTS

Abstract— In order to gain further insight into the sensitized photooxygenation of the system thionine, allylthiourea, and oxygen, the influence of the leucothionine, which is formed during the photoreaction, was studied by flash photolysis. In the presence of leucothionine, additional thionine (Λ_obs= 598 nm) is reformed; i.e., leucothionine is oxidized to thionine by way of a semithionine intermediate (Λ_bs= 770 nm). This additional semithionine formation due to leucothionine is complete by 30 μsec after the flash. By varying the leucothionine concentration, the flash intensity and the pH it can be shown that the agent which oxidizes leucothionine to semithionine is identical to the agent which transforms semithionine to thionine.     

SENSITIZED PHOTOOXYGENATION ACCORDING TO TYPE I MECHANISM (RADICAL MECHANISM) - PART I. FLASH PHOTOLYSIS EXPERIMENTS

Abstract— The photooxygenation of allylthiourea (ATU) sensitized by thionine does not occur according to the singlet oxygen mechanism but rather proceeds via the formation of radicals. In oxygen-free solution the primary process is a redox reaction between the thionine triplet and ATU where a semithionine- and an ATU-radical are formed. In further reaction steps the leuco form of the dye is finally produced (reductive photobleaching; D
R mechanism after Koizumi). The primary process in an oxygen-containing aqueous solution is the same, since at high concentrations of ATU (0·2 M ) the amount of semithionine formed by a photolytic flash, as well as the time course of disappearance of semithionine, does not depend on the oxygen content of the solution.
The reformation of thionine following flash photolysis has been investigated with regard to oxygen concentration and pH dependence. Two different excitation intensities were used. A quadratic dependence of thionine reformation on excitation intensity at high oxygen concentration was observed, indicating a reaction between two photoproducts.
The dependence of the reaction rate of semithionine on the ionic strength has been investigated. These experiments show that the reaction partner of semithionine carries a charge of + 1 in oxygen-free as well as in oxygen-saturated solution.     

SENSITIZED PHOTOOXYGENATION: CHANGE FROM TYPE I (RADICAL) TO TYPE II (SINGLET OXYGEN) MECHANISM

Abstract— As we have shown in previous papers, thionine-sensitized photooxygenation reactions follow a Type I (radical) mechanism. We now demonstrate that, by an appropriate choice of the acceptor and its concentration (solvent: pyridine) or by working in a rigid matrix (ethyl cellulose), the reaction can be switched to a Type II (singlet oxygen) mechanism. The system studied in the present investigation, thionine and 9,10-dimethylanthracene, represents to a certain extent an intermediate type. Photooxygenation at low DMA-concentration occurs according to a Type II mechanism as verified by the method of competitive photooxygenation, while in oxygen-free solutions, the sensitizer is partially photoreduced by the acceptor, which is typical for Type I systems. Whereas the photooxygenation of allylthiourea (ATU) with thionine as sensitizer takes place via radicals at high ATU concentrations, a change to the singlet oxygen mechanism could be observed at low ATU concentrations in pyridine solution.     

CHLORPROMAZINE PHOTOSENSITIZATION—I. EFFECT OF NEAR-UV IRRADIATION ON BACTERIOPHAGES SENSITIZED WITH CHLORPROMAZINE

Abstract— Both DNA bacteriophage and RNA bacteriophage were inactivated when they were irradiated with near-UV light (black light) in the presence of chlorpromazine. The far-UV sensitive mutants of T4D, i.e. T4D v , T4D px and T4D y , were no more sensitive to near-UV light plus chlorpromazine than the wild type. Electron microscopic observations showed that adsorption of T4D was greatly influenced by the treatment. The present results may indicate that the inactivation of T4D is due to the loss of adsorption caused by impairment in the tail or the tail fiber protein rather than the inactivation of DNA.     

STUDIES ON THE BACTERIAL ACTIVITY OF COBALT(III) COMPLEXES. PART III. COBALT(III) CARBOXYLATE COMPLEXES

Abstract

Cobalt(III) complexes of the type [Co(en)₂(chel)]X.nH₂O where en = ethylenediamine, chel = phthalato = C₆H₄CO₂)^2? ₂, maleato = (O₂CCH = CHCO₂)^2?, succinato = (O₂CCH₂CH₂CO₂)^2?, homophthalato = (O₂CC₆H₄(CH₂)CO₂)^2?, citraconato = (O₂CC(CH₃) = CHCO₂)^2?, itaconato = (CH₂ = C(CO₂)CH₂CO₂)^2?, X = NO^? ₃, Br^?, (O₂CC₆H₄CO₂H)^?, (O₂CHC = CHCO₂H)^?, (O₂C(CH₂)₂CO₂H)^?, (O₂CC₆H₄(CH₂)CO₂H)^?, (O₂CHC = C(CH₂)-CO₂H)^?, and (O₂C-CH₂?C(= CH₂)-CO₂H)^?, [Co(en)₂(malonato)]X.2H₂O (where malonato = (O₂CCH₂CO₂)^2?, X = Cl^?, Br^?, and NO^? ₃) and [Co(en)₂CO₃]Cl.2H₂O have been investigated for their bacterial activity against Escherichia coli B growing on EMB agar and in minimal glucose media both in lag and log phases. Among the most active are where chel = phthalato and homophthalato. The effects are distinct from those known for compounds of Pt, e.g., cis?[Pt(NH₃)₂Cl₂] and rhodium, e.g., trans?[Rh(C₅H₅N)₄,Cl₂].6H₂O. Antagonisms are reported.     

SYNTHESIS OF ABA TYPE TRIBLOCK COPOLYMERS BY RADICAL POLYMERIZATION WITH 1,4-BIS(p-TERTBUTYLPHENYLSELENOMETHYL) BENZENE AS A PHOTOINIFERTER

1,4-Bis(p-tert-butylphenylselenomethyl)benzene was used as a bifunctional photoiniferter for the polymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA). Both the polymer yields and the number average of molecular weights ([Mbar]_n) of polymers increased with the polymerization time and the [Mbar]_n linearly increased with polymer yield. The addition of MMA to the poly(MMA) with irradiation increased the [Mbar]_n of the polymer. Photoirradiation of telechelic polystyrene having phenylseleno groups at both ends as polymeric photoiniferter in the presence of MMA or p-chloromethylstyrene afforded effectively corresponding to the ABA type triblock copolymers. On the other hand, photopolymerization of p-methylstyrene with ABA type triblock copolymer of styrene and p-chloromethylstyrene as polymeric photoiniferter afforded to multiblock copolymer of styrene and p-substituted styrenes.     

Über kristallines Chrom(III)hydroxid. I

When hydroxide ions are added to a solution of Cr(H₂O)₆³⁺ ions at low temperature a well crystallized chromium hydroxide hydrate is formed, corresponding to the formula [Cr(OH)₃-(H₂O)₃]_∞. Its structure is the inverse of bayerite type, two thirds of the octahedral M³⁺ positions being vacant. It loses water easily and turns into a totally amorphous hydroxide of variable water content. An amorphous hydroxide is also obtained when solutions are alkalized at higher temperatures or when aged solutions (containing polynuclear complexes) are used.     

STUDIES OF THE STRUCTURE OF VANADIUM(III) COMPLEXES WITH NITROGEN CONTAINING LIGANDS IN ALCOHOLIC SOLUTIONS. I. COMPLEXES OF V(III) WITH AZOLES

Abstract

Anhydrous vanadium trichloride reacts with azoles in low concentrated ethyl alcohol solution of V(III) to produce 1:1 electrolytic complexes of the type [V (azole)₄Cl₂]⁺. Studies of the visible spectra of all the above complexes demonstrate that the vanadium(III) is octahedrally co-ordinated. The room temperature magnetic moments of the complexes (～ 2.8 B.M.) are consistant with the presence of two unpaired electrons per vanadium atom. At higher concn. of V(III) the polynuclear violet-red complexes probably are formed.     

Intercalation of hydrotalcites with hexacyanoferrate(II) and (III)—a thermoRaman spectroscopic study

Raman spectroscopy using a hot stage indicates that the intercalation of hexacyanoferrate(II) and (III) in the interlayer space of a Mg, Al hydrotalcites leads to layered solids where the intercalated species is both hexacyanoferrate(II) and (III). Raman spectroscopy shows that depending on the oxidation state of the initial hexacyanoferrate partial oxidation and reduction takes place upon intercalation. For the hexacyanoferrate(III) some partial reduction occurs during synthesis. The symmetry of the hexacyanoferrate decreases from O_h existing for the free anions to D_3d in the hexacyanoferrate interlayered hydrotalcite complexes. Hot stage Raman spectroscopy reveals the oxidation of the hexacyanoferrate(II) to hexacyanoferrate(III) in the hydrotalcite interlayer with the removal of the cyanide anions above 250 °C. Thermal treatment causes the loss of CN ions through the observation of a band at 2080 cm⁻¹. The hexacyanoferrate (III) interlayered Mg, Al hydrotalcites decomposes above 150 °C.     

Zur Kenntnis der Sulfito-kobalt(III)-Ammine. I. Sulfitopentammin- und Sulfitoaquotetramminkobalt(III)-Salze

Sulphito Cobalt (III) Ammines. I. Sulphitopentaamminecobalt (III) and Sulphitoaquotetraamminecobalt(III) Salts Because of the trans effect of the sulphito group salts containing the cation [CoSO₃(NH₃)₅]⁺ react with H₂O forming [CoSO₃H₂O(NH₃)₄]⁺. In acid medium the conversion is complete. Therefore, sulphitopentaamminecobalt(III) salts have to be prepared and purified in solutions containing free ammonia. Earlier preparation methods not regarding this circumstance lead to tetraammine compounds or to mixture of pentaammine and tetraammine complexes. The preparation and the properties of a number of sulphitopentaammine and sulphito-aquotetraamminecobalt(III) salts are described (see “Inhaltsübersicht”). The light absorption and the IR spectra of the complexes [CoSO₃(NH₃)₅]⁺ and [CoSO₃H₂O(NH₃)₄]⁺ are reported and discussed.

Abstract

The title compound [Cu₃Br₄C₂₈H₂₈N₄O₂] is a type of polymeric three-centre octahedral-trigonal planar coordination complex. The copper(II) atom located at a centre of symmetry is six-coordinate with two bidentate (N3, O1) ligands of acetone-1-naphthoylhydrazone forming the equatorial plane and two bromine ions in axial positions (Cul-Brl = 2.946(1)Å). The ligands are in trans positions. The Cu(I) atoms are in trigonal planar coordination by two bridging Br^? ions (Cu2-Br2 = 2.412(1)Å, Cu2-Br2? = 2.407(2)Å) which connect two Cu(I) atoms and a third bromine ion shared with the octahedral Cu(II) ion (Cu2-Br1 = 2.304(1)Å). The arrangement forms an infinite chain along the b axis.

Über die Hydrolyse von Eisen(III)Salzlösungen. I. Die Hydrolyse der Lösungen von Eisen(III)chlorid

When a very diluted iron(III)chloride solution is slowly alkalified by a weak base, the deprotonation of [Fe(H₂O)₆]³⁺ proceeds in a first stage to form mono- and dinuclear hydroxoaquo-complexes. In a second stage 4 dimers condense around a chloride ion to form an eight membered ring, an embryon, which grows fast to very small crystals of the composition Fe₄O₃(OH)₅Cl and the structure of the β-FeOOH. These crystalline micells remain colloidally dissolved. If the pH is raised above approximately 3.4 the Cl^?- are exchanged against OH^?-ions and flocculation occurs. This shows that Pauli, assuming the micells of such sols to be polynuclear complex ions, is basically correct, and it follows that micells can also be micro-crystals. When an iron(III)chloride solution is neutralized fast with a strong base, an ‘amorphous’ precipitation is obtained which gives with MoK_α-X-rays only two broad reflections, showing that the iron oxide hydroxide octahedra are condensed in a highly disordered way. The coherently scattering areas of this precipitate are probably tetramers. Small amounts of primarily formed amorphous iron(III)hydroxide are transformed into β-FeOOH.     

PREPARATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF COBALT(III) COMPLEXES WITH SARCOSINE AND SOME TETRADENTATE LIGANDS OF THE EDDA TYPE

Abstract

Meridional geometrical isomers of cobalt(III) complexes with sarcosine (N-methylglycine) and tetradentate ligands edda (ethylenediamine-N,N′-diacetate ion), eddp (ethylenediamine-N,N′-di-3-propionate ion) and 1,3-pdda (1,3-propylenediamine-N,N′-diacetate ion) have been prepared. The edda and eddp cobalt(III) complexes were made by the reaction of sarcosine and sodium ethylenediamine-N,N′-diacetato(carbonato)cobaltate(III), and sodium uns-cis-(ethylenediamine-N,N′-di-3-propionato)(carbonato)cobaltate(III) dihydrate, respectively. The previously synthesized pdda-cobalt(III) complex with sarcosine was obtained by a new route by direct synthesis of cobalt(II) chloride hexahydrate with sarcosine and 1,3-pdda in the presents of lead(IV) oxide. Complexes were isolated chromatographically and characterized by elemental analysis, electron absorption spectra, infrared spectra and ¹H NMR spectroscopy.
