Ab initio study of atropisomers of derivatives of 1,8-di-pyridine 9H-fluorene, dibenzo[b,d]furan, 9H-carbazole and dibenzo[b,d]thiophene

Ab initio calculation at HF/6-31G^* and MP2/6-31G^* levels of theory for geometry optimization of some syn- and anti-1,8-di-pyridine 9H-fluorene, dibenzo[b,d]furan, 9H-carbazole and Dibenzo[b,d]thiophene are reported. The rotational barrier energy, heat of formation and Gibbs energy are determined for the conversion of the anti-(syn) to the syn (anti)-isomers at 25 °C in the gas phase. The models are chosen as isomers of 9H-fluorene, dibenzo[b,d]furan, 9H-carbazole and dibenzo[b,d]thiophene as scaffold with pyridine as module. Results obtained show that (at equilibrium) for most of atropisomers the syn- is favored over the anti-isomer. Moreover, the ground state structures show that the modules are not parallel to each other but are tilted away in order to increase separation and there by minimize electrostatic repulsion. In atropisomers of 9H-carbazole the isomers are showing an attraction due to the presence of nitrogen atom. Influence of the position of nitrogen atom on the magnitude of the rotational barriers in these atropisomers is also studied.     

Gangliosides from the starfishEvasterias echinosoma: identification of a disialoganglioside containing 8-O-methyl-N-acetylneuraminic acid andN-formylgalactosamine

Gangliosides were isolated from the starfishEvasterias echinosoma and their structures were elucidated by chemical and physicochemical methods. Two major gangliosides were found to be disialogangliosides, whose carbohydrate chain is based on the trisaccharide β-N-acylgalactosaminyl-(l→3)-β-galactosyl-(l→4)-β-glucose (acyl is formyl or acetyl), both residue at of 8-O-methyl-N-acetylneuraminic acid being attached to theN-acylgalactosamine residue at positions 3 and 6. The minor components are disialogangliosides with linear carbohydrate chains in which the terminal sialic acid residue is attached to the penultimateN-acetylneuraminic acid residue at positions 4, 8, or 9. The lipid part of the gangliosides consists of sphingenine and unsubstituted fatty acids (mainly, palmitic and stearic acids). Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Synthesis, XRD structure and properties of diaqua(p-toluidine-N,N-di-3-propionato)copper(II) dihydrate [Cu(p-Tdp)(H2O)2]·2H2O

The copper(II) complex [Cu(p-Tdp)(H₂O)₂]·2H₂O, where p-Tdp is the anion of p-toluidine-N,N-di-3-propionic acid (or N,N-di(2-carboxyethyl)-p-toluidine), has been synthesized and characterized by X-ray diffraction. Three crystallographically independent [Cu(p-Tdp)(H₂O)₂] molecules have a similar structure. The Cu atoms have a square pyramidal environment (4+1) with a small trigonal bipyramidal distortion. The ortho-H atom of the benzene ring blocks up the sixth coordination position of the Cu polyhedron. The basal plane is formed by the donor atoms of the tridentate ligand and by the water molecule (average bond length Cu---N 2.03, Cu---O 1.93, Cu---O_w 2.00 Å), the apex is occupied by another water molecule (Cu---O_w 2.27 Å). The Cu atoms are located 0.20–0.30 Å out of the mean planes of the four basal atoms towards the apical O_w atom. The IR and electronic absorption spectra of p-Tdp and the title compound have been described. UV–Vis reflectance spectra shows that the complex has the same square pyramidal geometry in the crystal state and in solution. The protonation constants of the ligand log K₁=6.87(2), log K₂=3.75(2), log K₃=2.57(2) and stability constants log K_CuH(p-Tdp)=2.13(5), log K_Cu(p-Tdp)=6.38(3) were determined by pH-titration at 25.0 °C and I=0.1 M KNO₃.

Chromium(III) Hydroxide Solubility in The Aqueous Na+-OH?-H2PO?4-HPO2?4-PO3?4-H2O System: A Thermodynamic Model

Chromium(III)-phosphate reactions are expected to be important in managing high-level radioactive wastes stored in tanks at many DOE sites. Extensive studies on the solubility of amorphous Cr(III) solids in a wide range of pH (2.8–14) and phosphate concentrations (10^–4 to 1.0 m) at room temperature (22±2)°C were carried out to obtain reliable thermodynamic data for important Cr(III)-phosphate reactions. A combination of techniques (XRD, XANES, EXAFS, Raman spectroscopy, total chemical composition, and thermodynamic analyses of solubility data) was used to characterize solid and aqueous species. Contrary to the data recently reported in the literature,⁽¹⁾ only a limited number of aqueous species [Cr(OH)₃H₂PO^–₄, Cr(OH)₃(H₂PO₄)^2–₂), and Cr(OH)₃HPO^2–₄] with up to about four orders of magnitude lower values for the formation constants of these species are required to explain Cr(III)-phosphate reactions in a wide range of pH and phosphate concentrations. The log K^o values of reactions involving these species [Cr(OH)₃(aq)+H₂PO^–₄⇌Cr(OH)₃H₂PO^–₄; Cr(OH)₃(aq)+2H₂PO^–₄⇌Cr(OH)₃(H₂PO₄)^2–₂; Cr(OH)₃(aq)+HPO^2–₄⇌Cr(OH)₃HPO^2–₄] were found to be 2.78±0.3, 3.48±0.3, and 1.97±0.3, respectively.

Thermodynamische Untersuchungen ann-Alkan/n-Alkin-Systemen

The vapour-liquid equilibrium data obtained from isobarict-x-measurements have been used for calculation of the group UNIFAC parameters and excess free enthalpyG ^E of binary mixturesn-alkanes with isomericn-alkynes. The UNIFAC model gives satisfactory predictions for the systems studied. The temperature dependence ofG ^E was estimated on the basis of the heats of mixing measured earlier. The influence of the position of triple bond in the molecules ofn-alkynes on the excess thermodynamic functions is considered.

Phasengleichgewichte und Stoffwerte im System 1,2-Dichlorethan/n-Propanol/Wasser

Liquid-liquid equilibria of the ternary system 1,2-dichloroethane/n-propanol/water were measured at 20, 30, and 40 °C. In the plot of the system for 20 °C are shown the results of titration (i. e. addition of increasing quantities of water resp. 1,2-dichloroethane to the homogenous mixture of the other components). These results geree well with the plot of extraction results.The binary homogeneous systemsn-propanol/water andn-propanol/1,2-dichloroethane exhibit an non-ideal behaviour. Vapor-liquid equil. of these systems were measures at 133.32 and 666.6 mbar (100 and 500 Torr). The azeotropic points at these pressures are in good agreement with the literature.In addition to this, measurements of the values of surface-tension, viscosity and refractive index were performed.Aqueous solutions ofn-propanol can be determined by the micromethod ofR. Fischer.

Facile formation of exo-nido→closo-rearrangement products upon the replacement of PPh3 ligands with bis(diphenylphosphino)alkanes in “three-bridge” ruthenacarborane 5,6,10-[RuCl(PPh3)2]-5,6,10-(μ-H)3-10-H-exo-nido-7,8-C2B9H8

The replacement of the PPh₃ ligands in “three-bridge” exo-nido-ruthenacarborane 5,6,10-[RuCl(PPh₃)₂]-5,6,10-(μ-H)₃-10-H-exo-nido-7,8-C₂B₉H₈ with diphosphines, viz., 1,3-bis(diphenylphosphino)propane (dppp) or 1,4-bis(diphenylphosphino)butane (dppb) dramatically decreases the barrier to the thermal exo-nido→closo rearrangement affording the chelate closo-complexes 3,3-[Ph₂P(CH₂)_nPPh₂]-3-H-3-Cl-closo-3,1,2-RuC₂B₉H₁₁ (n = 3 or 4) under mild conditions. In the reaction with dppp, the rearrangement is accompanied by the formation of 17-electron paramagnetic closo-ruthenacarborane 3,3-[Ph₂P(CH₂)₃PPh₂]-3-Cl-closo-3,1,2-RuC₂B₉H₁₁, which could be isolated as the main product when the reaction was carried out at 80 °C.

Kinetics of electrode reaction coupled to ion transfer across the liquid/liquid interface

In the theoretical model it is assumed that a graphite disk electrode is covered by a thin film of solution of decamethylferrocene (dmfc) and some electrolyte CX in nitrobenzene and immersed in an aqueous solution of the electrolyte MX. Oxidation of dmfc is accompanied by the transfer of anion X ⁻ from water into nitrobenzene since it is also assumed that cations dmfc ⁺ and C ⁺ are insoluble in water and cation M ⁺ is insoluble in nitrobenzene. Kinetic parameters of the electrode reaction can be determined if the total potential difference across the nitrobenzene/water interface is maintained constant by adding the electrolytes CX and MX in concentrations which are much higher than the initial concentration of dmfc in nitrobenzene.

NMR-spektroskopische Untersuchungen zurE/Z-Isomerie von substituierten Dithiocarbazinsäurederivaten

Summary NMR-spectroscopic investigations of substituted dithiocarbacinic acid derivatives show the existence of configurational isomers relative to the C=N double bond, but no tautomerism. We applied chemical shift differences in the¹H-,¹³C- and¹⁵N-NMR-spectra, N - H and C - H coupling constants and NOE difference measurements in the solvents CDCl₃,DMSO-d ₆ and partly CD₃OD in order to discriminate between the isomers and to determine the configurational composition. Compounds4 and5 exist asE-isomers in all solvents, compounds1, 2 and3 as a mixture ofE/Z-isomers. InDMSO-d ₆ theE-form is the preferred isomer.
