The diacetylenic adducts, Fe₂(CO)₆{-EC(H) = C(C CMe)E} (E = E, E E; E, E = S, Se, Te) (1–8) have been obtained from the room temperature stirring of Fe₂(CO)₆(-EE) with HC CC CMe in methanol solvent containing sodium acetate. Compounds 1–8 have been characterized by IR and multinuclear NMR (¹H, ¹³C, ⁷⁷Se, and ^l25Te) spectroscopy. Trends in the chemical shifts of ⁷⁷Se and ¹²⁵Te NMR spectra of Fe₂(CO)₆{-EC(H) = C(C CMe)E} with a variation of EE are discussed.     

Inclusion complexes of the natural product gossypol. Crystal structure of the 2:1 complex of gossypol with amyl acrylate

The crystal structure of the 2: 1 inclusion complex of gossypol with amyl acrylate has been determined by X-ray structure analysis. The crystals of (C₃₀H₃₀O₈)₂C₈H₁₄O₂ are triclinic, space group P ,a = 14.425(2),b = 15.519(1),c = 16.409(2) Å, =97.89(1), = 117.80(1), =67.01(1)° (reduced cell:a = 14.425(2),b = 15.519(2),c = 16.017(2)Å, = 92.19(1), = 115.01(l), =67.01(1)°],V = 2986.7(5) ų,Z = 2,D _x = 1.31 g cm^–3, (CuK ) = 7.40 cm^–1,T = 292 K. The structure has been solved by direct methods and refined to the final R value of 0.059 for 5155 observed reflections. The gossypol molecules bonded via several hydrogen bonds form centrosymmetric tetramers. The two independent gossypol molecules, A and B, are related within the tetramer by a local noncrystallographic 2-fold axis. The host molecules in the crystal form cavities in which two guest molecules are placed. The ester molecule interacts via a pair of C-...H-O hydrogen bonds with two gossypol molecules of the same chirality and belonging to the same tetramer unit. The amyloxy group of the ester molecule shows a very large thermal motion. It adopts a non-extended conformation in which it can be fitted into the cavity formed by the host molecules.

Oxidation of ammonia on a bismuth-manganese oxide catalyst

The doping of MnO₂ with small quantities of Bi₂O₃ results in an increase of the surface oxygen bond energy. Accordingly, the values of the specific catalytic activity and selectivity to nitrous oxide are lower for the doped catalyst than for pure MnO₂. The mechanism of low temperature ammonia oxidation is the same on both catalysts.

An index of electrotopological state for atoms in molecules

A new method for molecular structure quantitation is described, in which both electronic and topological attributes are united. The method uses the hydrogen-suppressed skeleton to represent the structure and leads to a graph invariant index for the individual atoms and hydride groups of the molecular skeleton. An intrinsic atom value is calculated for each atom asI = ( + 1)/, in which and are the counts of valence and sigma electrons of atoms in the molecular skeleton, that is, exclusive of bonds to hydrogen atoms. The electrotopological state valueS _i for an atomi is defined asS _i =I _i + I _i, where the influence of atom j on atom i, I _i, is given as (I _i-j _j)/r ²;r is the graph separation between atoms i and j, counted as number of atoms, includingi andj. The information in the electrotopological state values is revealed by examples of various types of organic structures, including chain branching and heteroatom variation. The relation of the E-state value to NMR chemical shift is demonstrated for a series of carbonyl compounds.

Effect of carbon support on the hydrogen sorption of platinum

The hydrogen sorption of carbon-supported platinum catalysts, studied by the potentiodynamic method, differs significantly from that of unsupported platinum. The difference depends on the preparation method and on the nature of the support. Possible explanations are suggested as (i) some kind of interaction between metal and support atoms during impregnation, (ii) high dispersity (amorphous structure) and (iii) hydrogen spillover onto the carbon support.

Vibrational isotope effect of linear and planar molecules: Deuterated bromoethenes

Linear (planar) molecules A and B which are identical except for isotopic substitutions at the atomic sites are considered. Stretching (bending, out-of-plane) frequencies _k and normal modes _k of the isotopically perturbed molecule B are expressed in terms of stretching (bending, out-of-plane) frequencies _i and the corresponding normal modes _i of the unperturbed molecule A. Complete specification of the unperturbed normal modes is not required. All that is needed are stretching (bending, out-of-plane) amplitudes | _i of the normal modes _i at those sites that are affected by isotopic substitution. The rule which interlaces frequencies _k of molecule A with frequencies _i of molecule B is derived. Given two isotopic molecules A and B that differ by a single isotopic substitution at site , the inversion relation is derived. This relation expresses unperturbed stretching (bending, out-of-plane) amplitudes at the site in terms of stretching (bending, out-of-plane) frequencies of molecules A and B . As an example, out-of-plane vibrations of deuterated bromoethene were considered. In the simplest method 12 out-of-plane frequencies of four polydeuterated bromoethenes were calculated from 12 out-of-plane frequencies of bromoethene and three monodeuterated bromoethenes. Standard deviation of thus calculated frequencies from experimental frequencies is =2.74 cm^–1. In another method, 15 out-of-plane frequencies of four polydeuterated bromoethenes and selected monodeuterated bromoethene are calculated from 9 out-of-plane frequencies of bromoethene and the remaining two monodeuterated bromoethenes. Depending on which monodeuterated bromoethene is selected (1-, cis- or trans-), standard deviation of thus obtained frequencies from experimental frequencies is 1=2.84 cm^–1, c=2.96 cm^–1 and t=2.72 cm^–1.

MO LCAO calculations and the electronic spectra of the anions of cyclopent-4-ene-1,3-diones and indane-1,3-diones

The Hückel approximation in MO LCAO is used to show that the anion system of cyclopent-4-ene-1,3-dione should have two ^* transitions: a weak one at long wavelengths, NV₁, and a strong one at short wavelengths, C=C(1,3)V₁. An ethylene, phenyl, or acyl group at position 2 gives rise to a new strong band, NC=C(2), Nbenz, or NC=O (2). A p-nitrophenyl group at position 2 gives rise to a strong NNO₂ band, which overlaps the weak NV₁ band, while the Nbenz band becomes weak and is virtually lost from the spectrum.     

The effects of cyclodextrin inclusion of the ferrocenemonocarboxylate anion on the kinetics of its oxidation by bis(pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylato)cobaltate(III) in aqueous solution

The effects of -, -, dm-(heptakis(2,6-di-O-methyl)--) and -cyclodextrins (CD) on the kinetics of the electron-transfer reaction of the ferrocenemonocarboxylate anion (FCA^–) with bis(pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylato)cobaltate(III) have been investigated in aqueous solution (0.20 M Na₂HPO₄, pH 9.2) at 25.0°C. Substantial decreases in the rate constants for the electron-transfer reactions were observed upon cyclodextrin inclusion of the reductant, due to an increase in the FCA^0/– reduction potential and to the insulation of the reductant from oxidant. The inclusion stability constants for {FCA·CD}^– were evaluated from the¹H NMR and kinetic data, and the order of the stability constants was found to be -CDdm-CD-CD>-CD.     

1A1⇔5T2 Spin Transition in Heterometallic Solid Phases FexNi1-x(Htrz)3(NO3)2 · H2O (Htrz = 1,2,4‐Triazole)

Solid phases Fe_xNi_1-x(Htrz)₃(NO₃)₂ · H₂O (0.4 x 0.8$) and Ni(Htrz)₃(NO₃)₂ · H₂O were synthesized and studied. The phases were studied by means of magnetochemistry, powder Xray difraction analysis, and electronic and IR spectroscopy. The heterometallic phases are described by the stoichiographic method of differentiating dissolution (DD). The values of x were determined by two methods — atomic absorption and DD. Magnetochemical data showed that the solid phases exhibit a hightemperature ¹A₁ ⁵T₂ 0.5 x 0.8 and disappears at x = 0.4. The spin transition is accompanied by thermochromism (color changed from pink to white at 0.6 x 1 and from pink to light lilac at x = 0.5). A decrease in x leads to a decrease in the temperature of the forward (under heating T_c ) and reverse (under cooling T_c ) transitions, a decrease in hysteresis value ( T_c), and a smearing of the spin transition.

Based on momentum- and position-space analyses of the moment operators for two-electron atoms, it is shown that there exists a family of two-electron wave functions which satisfy a proportionality relation, r/ ₁ ^v /r ₁₂ ^v =p/ ₁ ^v /p ₁₂ ^v =2^–v/2, between the one and two-electron moments in position and momentum spaces, where v is an arbitrary number for which the moments are well-defined.
