Conclusions The frequencies of the =CH₂ group wagging vibration in CH₂=CH-X compounds reflects both the inductive effect of the substituents X, and the effects of, -, ,p- and (d-p)-conjugation in which these substituents take part.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No.l, pp. 152–154, January 1970.     

Excited Π states of divinyl chalcogenides and chalcophenes

Electron transitions in divinyl chalcogenides (CH₂=CHXCH=CH₂, where X is S, Se, or Te) have been analyzed using UV absorption spectra of dialkyl and alkyl vinyl chalcogenides. The following relations for the orbital energies are found: ^* < ^* < ^* < ^* for Te and ^* < ^* < ^* < ^* for S and Se. For chalcophenes, a correlation between the energy of the excited state (E ^*) of specific symmetry, the ionization potential (I) and the electron affinity (EA) is obtained:E ^*=const+(I+EA)/2. The electron affinity of divinyl chalcogenides is estimated. The correlation between the excited ^* states of divinyl chalcogenides and chalcophenes is discussed.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 5, pp. 831–835, May, 1994.     

ESR identification of formation stages for TiCl3 particles in catalysts for isoprene polymerization

The analysis of ESR spectra from the system TiCl₄+ TIBA in solution under defreezing from 77 to 200 K permitted to identify formation stages of TiCl₃ particles. At first well-ordered Ti ₂ ⁷⁺ structures, and upon subsequent reduction [Ti ₂ ⁶⁺ ]_n are formed. It is the crystallization of the latter that produces TiCl₃ particles.

Circulardichroismspectra of 5- and 7-bromo-6-ketosteroidsof the cholestane and stigmastane serieswere studied. A negative Cotton effect corresponding to the n-* -transition of the ketone was observed in the CD spectra of 5-bromo-6-ketosteroids at 300 nm. The analogous Cotton effect was positive in CD spectra of 7-bromo-6-ketosteroids.     

Reactivity of pyrrole pigments,XXI: Structure and reactivity of Cu(II) and Zn(II) bilindione chelates

Summary Several Mn, Cu, and Zn chelates of etiobiliverdin-IV-, mesobiliverdin-IX, and its dimethyl ester are studied. The results show that the chemical constitution of the Cu biliverdin chelate corresponds to a formal metal oxidation state of (II) coordinated to a neutral radical of the NH trideprotonated biliverdin. The reactivity of the Cu(II) bilindione chelates in nucleophilic solvents agrees with that expected for a neutral radical structure of the ligand; in CH₃OH, they undergo oxidation towards dimethoxybilipurpurins. The magnetic behaviour of Cu(II) etiobiliverdinate-IV- in the solid state shows an intramolecular weak antiferromagnetic coupling d⁹Cu-to--radical (J=–23 cm^–1) and an intermolecular weak antiferromagnetic coupling -radical-to--radical (J=–45 cm^–1). The analogy of this magnetic behaviour to that of the cation radical of metalloporphyrins is discussed.

Reaktivität von Pyrrolpigmenten, 21. Mitt.: Struktur und Reaktivität von Cu(II)- und Zn(II)-Chelaten von Bilindionen

Zusammenfassung Einige Mn, Cu and Zn Chelate von Etiobiliverdin-IV-, Mesobiliverdin-IX und seinem Dimethylester werden untersucht. Im Komplex koordiniert ein Metallatom (mit der Formalladung II) mit einem Neutralradikal des dreifach NH-deprotonierten Bilindions. Die Reaktivität des Komplexes gegenüber nukleophilen Lösungmitteln entspricht erwartungsgemäß dem eines neutralen -Radikals; in CH₃OH wird er zu Dimethoxybilipurpurin oxidiert. Bei Cu(II)-Etiobiliverdinat-IV beobachtet man im festen Zustand neben schwacher, antiferromagnetischer Kupplung zwischen d⁹Cu und -Radikal (J=–23 cm^–1) auch eine schwache, intermolekulare, antiferromagnetische Wechselwirkung zwischen zwei -Radikalen (J=–45 cm^–1). Dieses magnetische Verhalten wird dem des -Kationradikals von Metalloporphyrinen gegenübergestellt.

     

Charge-transfer complexes of indenophanes with π-acceptors

The charge-transfer (CT) spectra of the -complexes formed by a number of -acceptors with several indenophanes as well as indene as a model compound have been measured in methylene chloride at 20 °C. Association constants and transition energies of these complexes as well as ionization potentials of the -donors have been determined. The data obtained indicate the existence of transannular electronic interactions in the indenophane nucleus. Furthermore, the pseudo-para- andmeta[2.2]indenophane isomers (3 and4) show a large difference in their -base strength. A good linear relationship has been observed between the association constants and _max of the long wavelength CT bands for the -complexes of these -donors with both tetracyanoethylene (TCNE) and 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyanobenzoquinone (DDQ). All CT complexes studied have a 1:1 stoichiometry.

Zusammenfassung Die Charge-transfer-Spektren (CT-Spektren) von -Komplexen aus Indenophanen bzw. der Modellverbindung Inden und verschiedenen -Akzeptoren wurden in Methylenchlorid bei 20 °C bestimmt. Die Assoziationskonstanten und Übergangsenergien dieser Komplexe sowie die Ionisationspotentiale der -Donatoren wurden ermittelt. Die Daten sprechen für das Vorliegen transannularer elektronischer Wechselwirkungen im Indenophan-System. Die isomeren pseudo-para- und -meta[2.2]indenophane3 und4 unterscheiden sich in ihrer -Basizität deutlich. Es besteht eine gute lineare Korrelation zwischen den Assoziationskonstanten und _max der langwelligen CT-Banden der verschiedenen -Donatoren mit Tetracyanoethylen (TCNE) und 2,3-Dichlor-5,6-dicyano-p-benzochinon (DDQ). Alle untersuchten CT-Komplexe besitzen 1:1-Stöchiometrie.

     

Calculation of some electronic excited states of formaldehyde

The optimized MO's of several excited states of formaldehyde have been calculated by means of a large basis set of modified Gaussian functions; particular attention has been paid to the * transition. The total energy of the various states has been obtained as the sum of the SCF and correlation energies; the last one has been calculated as a functional of the electronic density. The calculated values for the transition energies are in good agreement with the experiment. A strong interaction of the * state with the continuum is evidentiated; this fact can justify the absence of the * band in the absorption spectrum.     

Applications of the virtual charge model to the electronic structures and spectra of benzaldehyde and acetophenone

Summary The virtual charge model (Tapia model) in conjunction with the CNDO/S-CI approximation in the frame of SCF-MO theory was employed to study the effects of solvent on the electronic structures and spectra of benzaldehyde and acetophenone molecules. The CNDO/S calculations in presence of solvation indicate a satisfactory interpretation of the medium effects on the electronic structures and spectra of the molecules investigated. The prediction of our MO calculations by means of the Tapia model concerning the solvochromic shifts of n * and * transitions are in accord with the observed trends which indicate a blue shift for the n * band and a red shift for the * band upon a change of solvent from non-polar to polar solvents.

Anwendung des Virtual Charge-Modells auf die Elektronenstrukturen und Spektren von Benzaldehyd und Acetophenon

Zusammenfassung Das Virtual-Charge-Modell (Tapia-Modell) im Zusammenhang mit der CNDO/S-CI-Näherung im Rahmen der SCF-MO-Theorie wurde zum Studium der Lösungsmitteleffekte auf die Elektronenstrukturen und Spektren von Benzaldehyd und Acetophenon herangezogen. Die CNDO/S-Rechnungen bei Anwesenheit von Solvens erlauben eine befriedigende Interpretation der Mediumeffekte auf Elektronenstrukturen und Spektren der untersuchten Verbindungen. Die aus MO-Rechnungen folgenden Voraussagen ergeben auf Basis des Tapia-Modells solvatochrome Verschiebungen für die n *- und *-Übergänge. Die vorausgesagten Effekte stehen im Einklang mit den experimentell beobachteten Trends: Blauverschiebung für die n *-Bande und Rotverschiebung für die *-Bande beim Wechsel von nichtpolarem zu polarem Lösungsmittel.

Catalytic oxidation of octene-1 in the presence of palladium(II) salts and heteropolyacids

In the presence of the catalytic system (PdSO₄+HPA), where HPA=H₉PMo₆V₆O₄₀, octene-1 is found to be selectively (95%) oxidized to octanone-2. The optimum concentration ratio for catalyst stability is [HPA]:[PdSO₄]=30–40. The substitution of PdCl₂ for PdSO₄ leads to the formation of all three isomeric octanones without decrease of the overall selectivity. Effective rate constants and the apparent activation energy have been determined in the temperature range from 60 to 80 °C.

Interdependence between the dispersion of a solid decomposition product and its formation rate

In an analysis of the possible mechanism and kinetics of a thermal decomposition reaction with the formation of a solid product, the following features were considered: the collective rearrangement character of the transformation; the formation of a product with a different non-equilibrium defectiveness and free energy; the free energy relationship in the series of processes leading to products with different dispersions; the formation of intermediate structures; and the spinodal character of their decomposition. Relationships are presented between the rate of solid product formation, the process temperature, and the surface area and size of the particles.

Kinetics of edta catalyzed oxidation of I? by Cr(VI)

The activity of various iron-containing ore catalysts during hydrogenation of Kansk-Achinsk lignite into liquid products in H-donor solvent (tetraline) has been studied. Ore samples contained pyrite, hematite and magnetite minerals. The most active appear to be pyrite samples. The catalytic effect of ore systems is, apparently, associated with the fact that during hydrogenation more active than tetraline H-donors are formed due to the hydrogenation of polycyclic aromatic molecules produced by thermal destruction of lignite.

Partitioning of <Emphasis Type="Italic">π</Emphasis> -electrons in rings of polycyclic conjugated hydrocarbons: Part 6. Comparison with other methods for estimating the local aromaticity of rings in polycyclic benzenoids

By adopting the convention that shared double bonds in polycyclic conjugated hydrocarbons contribute with one -electron and unshared ones with two -electrons, a partition of -electrons in each ring (-electron content, EC) can be obtained by averaging over all Kekulé structures, which are assumed to have equal weights. This affords a simple measure of local aromaticity that is comparable with other such local aromaticity indices in polycyclic benzenoids.

Proton donor ability of surface hydroxy groups from the IR spectra of hydrogen-bonded complexes

The influence of the strength of N-bases on the shift of (OH) in hydrogenbonded complexes upon adsorption on the surface of a decationized zeolite, phosphates and aerosil differing in the proton donor ability of surface hydroxy groups has been investigated. It is shown that the acid-base properties of the adsorbent-adsorbate pair produce additive influence on the above frequency shifts. A method for the determination of the proton donor ability of surface hydroxy groups (in terms of pK_a) from the IR spectra of hydrogen-bonded complexes is suggested.

Ab initio SCF and CI study of the electronic spectrum of pyridine N-oxide

Configuration interaction (CI) studies of ground, n *, * * electronically excited states are reported for pyridine N-oxide. The transition energy to the lowest * excited ¹ B ₂ state is calculated at 4.35 eV, compared to the experimental spectrum range of 3.67–4.0 eV. This state lies below the lowest n * excited ¹ A ₂ state calculated at 4.81 eV above the ground state. The only experimentally reported triplet state at 2.92 eV above the ground state is predicted to be the ³ A ₁ (*) state. The calculated energy lies at 3.27 eV. Numerous other high-lying singlet states as well as the triplet states have also been calculated. The intramolecular charge transfer character of the ground and the excited states have been studied in terms of the calculated dipole moment and other physical properties.
