15N-NMR Spectroscopy. XVIII. Sequence Analysis of Linear Polyureas

Various homo- and copolyureas were prepared either by conversion of diamines with diisocyanates or by heating diamines with N, N'-bisphenoxycarbonyl diamines. The ¹³C-NMR spectra and the natural abundance ¹⁵N-NMR spectra were measured in trifluoroacetic acid. In contrast to polyamides, the carbonyl signals of polyureas are not sensitive to neighboring residue effects, so that ¹³C-NMR spectra are in most cases useless for the sequence analysis of copolyureas. The ¹⁵ N-NMR signals of urea groups are, however, sensitive to the influence of both substituents and thus contain information on the sequence. Structure/ shift-relationships are discussed, and ¹⁵ N-NMR spectra of various copolyureas are presented.     

Use of fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry for the characterization of nitroaromatic isomers

Positive and negative ion fast atom bombardment (FAB) mass spectra of some monosubstituted nitroaromatic isomers are reported. Generally ions carresponding to [M + H]⁺ and M⁺ are observed in the positive ion FAB spectra; ions such as [M ? H] ^? and M^?˙ are observed in the negative ion FAB spectra. The use of FAB mass spectra to distinguish the isomers is discussed. Comparisons of FAB, chemical ionization and electron impact mass spectra of the same isomers (wherever possible) are reported. The structural information obtained in the negative ion FAB spectra complement those obtained in the positive ion FAB spectra.     

Fragmentation reactions of some aliphatic esters in the NCl(F−) and NCl(NH2−) mass spectra

The NCI(F^?) and NCI(NH₂^?) mass spectra of a series of aliphatic acetates and of methyl and ethyl trimethylacetate have been obtained. The formation of fluoroenolate ions CH₂COF^? and of carboxamide anions RCONH^? (R ? CH₃))CH₃C). respectively, is observed besides formation of [M ? H]^? ions and carboxylate ions RCOO^? (R ? CH₃, (CH₃)₃C). The relative intensities of the different anions depend on the structure of the ester molecules and on the primary reactant anions. Usually, the NCI(NH₂^?) spectra of the acetates are dominated by [M ? H]^? ions ([M? D]^? ions in the case of trideuteroacetates) fragmenting unimolecularly by elimination of an alcohol. The carboxylate ions are important fragments, too, but carboxamide ions are only observed with large intensities in the NCI(NH₂^? spectra of the trimethylacetates. The NCI(F^?) spectra show much larger intensities of carboxylate ions and fluoroenolate ions. The mechanisms of the fragmentation reactions are discussed. The results indicate that most or even all of the fragment ions in the NCI(F^? mass spectra of aliphatic esters are formed by addition-elimination reactions via a tetrahedral intermediate, while competition between direct proton abstraction and addition-elimination reactions occurs in the NCI(NH₂^?) mass spectra because of the higher basicity of NH₂^? resulting in an early transition state for direct proton abstraction.     

Spectroscopic elucidation of pseudo-base formation from benzo[8,9]quinoliziono[4,5,6,7-fed]phenanthrindyliums

¹³C and ¹H NMR spectra and UV spectra are recorded and assigned for a variety of substituted and hetero derivatives of benzo[8,9]quinolizino[4,5,6,7-fed]phenanthrindyliums. Large specific effects of traces of water on these spectra are traced to pseudo-base formation.     

Study of the temperature effect on IR spectra of crystalline amino acids,dipeptids, and polyamino acids. III. α-Glycylglycine

The IR spectra of α-glycylglycine (H₃ ⁺N-CH₂-CO-NH-CH₂-COO^?) are studied in the temperature range of 93 to 413 K. Changes in the spectra due to temperature variation are correlated with the previously obtained X-ray diffraction data on anisotropic compression of the structure and changes in the parameters of hydrogen bonding. Changes in the vibrational frequencies of NH ₃ ⁺ and COO groups in the IR spectrum of α-glycylglycine are compared to changes in the vibrational frequencies of the same groups in the IR spectra of polymorphs of glycine, L- and DL-serine.     

Autocorrelated 13c-13c double quantum coherence two-dimensional nmr spectroscopy: Utilization of a modified version of the technique as an adjunct in the total assignment of the 1h- and 13c-nmr spectra of the mutagen phenanthro[3,4-b]thiophene

Development of successively higher field nmr spectrometers has facilitated the study of increasingly more complex molecules, although smaller molecules such as phenanthro[3,4-b]thiophene still offer very substantial assignment problems because of the highly congested nature of their ¹H- and ¹³C-nmr spectra. Assignments of such spectra, if they are to be unequivocal, frequently require the utilization of two-dimensional nmr spectroscopic techniques. Total assignments of the ¹H- and ¹³C-nmr spectra of phenanthro[3,4-b]thiophene are reported. Assignments were based on a conventional high resolution 500 MHz ¹H-nmr spectrum, autocorrelated two-dimensional ¹H-nmr spectra (COSY), two-dimensional ¹H-¹³C chemical shift correlation spectra and a modified version of autocorrelated ¹³C-¹³C double quantum coherence two-dimensional nmr spectroscopy. From NOE measurements, a separation of 1.99 Å between H1 and H11 was computed, suggesting that phenanthro[3,4-b]thiophene has a pronounced helical conformation in solution.     

The lowest excited states of a chromate derivative. Resolved optical and odmr spectra of RbCrO3Cl AND CsCrO3Cl at 1.4 K

The phosphorescence, excitation and absorption spectra of the CrO₃Cl⁻ anion in its neat rubidium and cesium salts at 1.4 K are reported. The spectra show sharp zero-phonon lines, which allow vibronic analyses of the phosphorescence spectra based on the respective Raman spectra. The zero-field splittings and lifetimes of the spin-triplet state of CrO₃Cl⁻ anion in each of the salts have also been obtained. The results are compared with earlier results for the potassium salt.     

Nitrogen and proton endor of vitamin B12r

Solutions of B_12r in various solvents have been investigated for optimum conditions of ¹⁴N- and ¹H-ENDOR spectra at liquid helium temperature. For ¹⁴N of the benzimidazole ligand the full hyperfine and quadrupole tensor are reported. ¹H-ENDOR spectra are discussed in terms of intramolecular and axial ligand protons for both base on and base off states.     

Raman spectra and O NMR study effects of CaCl2 and MgCl2 on water structure

With various concentrations of CaCl₂ and MgCl₂ aqueous solution below 1.0 mol/l, Raman spectra of water in the OH stretch region of 2500-4000 cm⁻¹ and ¹⁷O NMR chemical shift of water are measured and the Raman spectra are deconvoluted. Both Raman spectra and ¹⁷O NMR of water show that the effect of Ca²⁺ on water structure is stronger than that of Mg²⁺. CaCl₂ and MgCl₂ destroy four hydrogen bonded water structure, but promote median water cluster size.     

Synthesis,experimental and DFT studies on crystal structure,FT-IR, 1H,and 13C NMR spectra,and evaluation of aromaticity of three derivatives of xanthens

Several derivatives of xanthenes are prepared by the condensation of aldehydes and dimedone in H₂O in the presence of a catalytic amount of trichlorotriazine. The crystalline products were characterized by FTIR, ¹H, and ¹³C NMR spectra. Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations on the B3LYP level were used to optimize the geometry and calculate the crystal structure, FTIR, ¹H NMR and ¹³C NMR spectra of the selected synthesized compounds. We found that the values of FTIR, ¹H, and ¹³C NMR spectra obtained by the B3LYP method are in accordance with experimental data. The calculated NICS indicate that the six-membered rings in xanthenes are essentially homoaromatic.     

Mass spectra of π-cyclopentadienyl-diene cobalt complexes

Many reports on the mass spectra of organotransition-metal complexes have appeared in recent years,¹ whilst there have only been a few reports on the mass spectra of transition metal olefin complexes, some metal carbonyl olefin complexes²³⁴ and π-cyclooctenyl-π-cyclooctadienyl cobalt.⁵ Recently fragmentation paths of π-cyclopentadienyl-cyclooctadiene rhodium were elucidated by King.⁶ The present authors found metastable ions in the mass spectra of π-cyclopentadienyl-diene cobalt complexes as well as in the mass spectra of π-cyclopentadienyl-diene rhodium complexes.⁷. In the present paper the authors wish to report the mass spectra of several π-cyclopentadienyl diene cobalt complexes.

Vibrational Spectra of the Molten Nitrate/Platinum Electrode Interfacial Region

Raman spectra and IR reflection-absorption spectra are measured for the interfacial region between a platinum electrode and molten NaNO₃, KNO₃, and binary eutectic LiNO₃–KNO₃. The design of high-temperature spectroelectrochemical cells used in recording vibrational spectra of the region is described.

Theoretical prediction on vibrational spectra of [Ar...Ar-H]<Superscript>+</Superscript>

Centrosymmetric linear [Ar-H-Ar]⁺ and asymmetric linear [Ar---Ar-H]⁺ are two stable configurations of [Ar₂H]⁺. Based on the global potential energy surface of [Ar₂H]⁺ provided by our group recently, we calculated the vibrational spectra of [Ar---Ar-H]⁺ with total angular momentum J = 0 by time-dependent quantum mechanical method, and the influence of quantum tunneling effect on vibrational spectra was found. With the help of the observation on the eigenstate functions and the modified potential energy surface, assignments were made to the spectra. The strong coupling between the excited bending mode of [Ar-H-Ar]⁺ and the vibrational states of [Ar---Ar-H]⁺ was discussed.     

Study of the temperature effect on IR spectra of crystalline amino acids,dipeptides, and polyamino acids. IV. L-cysteine and DL-cysteine

A study of the IR spectra of L- and DL-cysteine is carried out in a range of frequencies from 4000 cm^?1 to 600 cm^?1 and temperatures from 333 K to 83 K. Changes in the spectra of L- and DL-cysteine (NH ₃ ⁺ CH(CH₂SH)-COO^?) on cooling are analyzed in comparison with the spectra of L- and DL-serine (NH ₃ ⁺ CH(CH₂OH)-COO^?) and three polymorphs of glycine (NH ₃ ⁺ CH₂-COO^?) previously studied under temperature variation. Changes in the IR spectra at variable temperatures are correlated with previously obtained diffraction data on anisotropic compression of the structure and changes in the geometric parameters of hydrogen bonds. Special attention is paid to temperature regions in which anomalies were detected by vibrational spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and calorimetry.     

Electronic absorption and circular dichroism spectra of Δ-[Os(bipy)2(bipy−)]+, Δ-[Os(bipy)(bipy−)2]0 and Δ-[Os(bipy−)3]−

The electronic absorption and circular dichroism spectra of the complexes produced by the one-, two- and three-electron reduction of Δ-[Os(bipy)₃]²⁺ are reported for the first time. The spectra confirm that, as in the cases of the Fe^II and Ru^II analogues, the electrons are localised on the bipyridine ligand and the complexes are correctly formulated [Os(bipy)₂(bipy⁻)]⁺, [Os(bipy)(bipy⁻)₂]⁰ and [Os(bipy⁻)₃]⁻. The absorption spectra of the series of fully reduced complexes [M(bipy⁻)₃]⁻: M  Fe, Ru, Os are compared.     

Electron impact,electron capture negative ionization and positive chemical ionization mass spectra of organophosphorus flame retardants and plasticizers

Phosphate esters are important commercial products that have been used both as flame retardants and as plasticizers. To analyze these compounds by gas chromatographic mass spectrometry, it is important to understand the mass spectra of these compounds using various ionization modes. This paper is a systematic overview of the electron impact (EI), electron capture negative ionization (ECNI) and positive chemical ionization (PCI) mass spectra of 13 organophosphate esters. These data are useful for developing and optimizing analytical measurements. The EI spectra of these 13 compounds are dominated by ions such as H₄PO₄⁺, (M ? Cl)⁺, (M ? CH₂Cl)⁺ or (M)⁺ depending on specific chemical structures. The ECNI spectra are generally dominated by (M ? R)^?. The PCI spectra are mainly dominated by the protonated molecular ion (M + H)⁺. The branching of the alkyl substituents, the halogenation of the substituents and, for aromatic phosphate esters, ortho alkylation of the ring are all significant factors controlling the details of the fragmentation processes. EI provides the best sensitivity for the quantitative measurement of these compounds, but PCI and ECNI both have considerable qualitative selectivity. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Preparation and NMR spectra of substituted 2-phenyl-5,5-dialkylimidazolinones

Eighteen substituted 2-phenyl-5,5-dialkylimidazolinones 2 have been prepared by cyclizations of substituted 2-(N-benzoylamino)alkanamides 1. The cyclization of methylamides 1 proceeds at room temperature whereas primary amides are cyclized on boiling. The ¹H and ¹³C nmr spectra of the imidazolinones are presented and the changes in their spectra connected with their protonation in hexadeuteriodimethyl sulfoxide-trifluoroacetic acid mixtures are discussed.

The ¹³C NMR spectra of the diterpenes pleuromutilin,¹ mutilin,¹ and related compounds are discussed in detail. The complete assignment of the signals to the individual C-atoms of the tricyclic system is based on comparisons of spectra as well as increment calculations. The syntheses of the investigated compounds are described, if they were not mentioned in earlier papers.     

The NMR spectra of some fluorinated pyridine derivatives

The ¹H and ¹⁹F spectra of a variety of mono- and di- fluorinated pyridines are examined, and compared with the corresponding spectra of the pyridinium ions. The magnitudes and signs of the ¹H? ¹⁹F coupling constants are in general in accord with those observed for the corresponding ¹H? ¹H couplings, with an exaggerated range. Large changes in the NMR parameters are observed on protonation of the nitrogen, ³J(H? F) changing sign in some of the α-fluoropyridine derivatives.
