Intensity of the η(C≡C) Bands in the IR Spectra of Acetylene Derivatives and σR 0 Constants of Organosilicon,Organogermanium, and Organotin Substituents

The integral absorptivities of shape-characteristic (CC) bands in the IR spectra of 66 acetylene derivatives RCCX (R = H, Me₃M; X are inorganic and organic substituents) are related by a common linear equation to the _R ⁰ constants of the R and X substituents. The _R R⁰ constants of 10 Alk₃M substituents were calculated. The _R ⁰, _R , and _R ⁺ constants of Me₃M substituents were analyzed. The positive _R ⁰ values (0.12, 0.06, and 0.04 for R = Si, Ge, and Sn, respectively) suggest that in the ground electronic state of Me₃MCCX molecules the resonance acceptor effect of the Me₃M substituents (d, conjugation) prevails over donor (, conjugation). The first effect attenuates and the second enhances as the atomic number of M increases.     

Substituent parameters for radical reactions Cerium(IV) — substituted toluenes — acrylonitrile system

Summary In the present study, a new approach for the determination of ', that is, radical substituent parameter, has been described. The technique is based on two equations, one reported byYamamoto andOtsu and the other byStreitwieser andPerrin. The system used for the determination of the radical substituent parameter (') was Ce(IV) — substituted toluenes — acrylonitrile system. To explain inhibition, it has been suggested that the reaction scheme involves initiation of polymerization by Ce(IV) and termination by primary radical of the substrate. The kinetic expression based on the reaction scheme formulated could explain the unusual observation of a negative intercept found in the plot of [M]/R _p versus 1/[M]. Whereas a plot of log /₀ against ⁺ did not give a straight line, a good linear plot with zero intercept was obtained when log /₀ was plotted against (⁺ + '). This proves the validity of ' values which have been determinded.     

Effect of substituents on ionization potentials of phosphorus compounds. Conjugation in radical cations

The first vertical ionization potentials (I) of phosphorus compounds P(X_i)₃, OP(X_i)₃, SP(X_i)₃, (4-XC₆H₄)₃P, and PCX are related to the inductive, resonance, and polarizability parameters of inorganic, organic, and organometallic substituents X by dependences of the type I = I _H + a_I + b_R ⁺ + c, where I _H is the I value for X = H. The I values are also affected by hyperconjugation. The ratio of the contributions of the resonance (b_R ⁺) and polarizability (c) effects to the I value is determined by the degree of delocalization of the unpaired electron and the positive charge in the radical cations formed upon ionization of neutral molecules. The _R ⁺ resonance parameters of organosilicon, organogermanium, and organotin substituents bound to the P ^·+ radical cation center were calculated for the first time.     

Correlation of nucleae quadrupole resonance frequencies with some chemical constants in the aliphatic series

Linear relationships are established between the nuclear quadrupole resonance frequencies of alkyl chlorides, RCl, on the one hand, and the pK_a values of RCOOH and RNH₂ as well as the Taft ^* constants, on the other hand. Similar linear correlations were found between the NQR frequencies of the substituted compounds XCH₂Cl and the pK_a of XCH₂COOH, XCH₂NH₂, XCH₂OH, as well as the ^* constants of XCH₂ radicals, where X are electronegative substituents. X substituents with unshared electron pairs (RO, RS, F, Cl, Br) are an exception; nevertheless, the deviation of these points is regular and depends linearly on the resonance parameters _R ⁰ or _R of the X substituents. The relationships can be used for an approximation of the ionization constants of a number of fatty acids, for the calculation of the Taft ^* constants of radicals R and XCH₂ and of the resonance parameters _R ⁰ and _R of X substituents with an accuracy which in many cases is in no way inferior to that of the experimental values, and also for the approximate evaluation of the ionization constants of XCH₂NH₂ amines and XCH₂OH alcohols.     

Investigation of protein foams obtained by bubbling

Summary The foaminesses of bovine serum albumin solutions, (BSA) with and without buffer, salt and alcohol additives were measured by bubbling and their surface tensions were obtained as function of the timet. The timet _DG , which is necessary to attain the equilibrium surface tension is long (15 h). The area requirement of a single surface adsorbed moleculeA _j0 was obtained fromd/dc, wherec the surfactant concentration, by the Gibbs relation. By assuming the existence of a hydration complex, which consists of the surfactant andX water molecules, the,coordination numbers were estimated toX=12±1 fromA _j0 and the surface requirement of the hydrophilic group of the surfactant. The dependences of CMC andX on the additives are discussed. A good relation prevails between andt _DG . By applying the phase change model of Avrami for the adsorption and surface denaturation of theBS A, simple relation was found between the dimensionless surface tensionV = (₀ - _s) (_st-_s) and the timet:log (2.3 logV) =n logt + logb The good relations between andn as well as between andnb indicate the applicability of this model.

Interpretation of water isotherm hysteresis for an activated charcoal using stochastic pore networks

Water vapor adsorption equilibria on activated carbons typically exhibit hysteresis. The size and shape of the hysteresis loop which separates the adsorption and desorption branches is a strong function of the pore size and interconnectivity of the pores. Neither conventional pore filling models nor statistical thermodynamics approaches provide a means for predicting the extent of hysteresis from only adsorption measurements. This work uses the Kelvin Equation in conjunction with the structural concept of a stochastic pore network to describe measured water isotherms on BPL carbon. Using a pore segment distribution function determined from the adsorption branch, it is shown that totally random assemblies underestimate the extent of hysteresis. It is possible, however, to closely fit the measured BPL-water hysteresis loop using a patchy heterogeneity in which a proportion of the larger pores are preferentially located on the exterior, mid-range pores are concentrated in a sub-surface layer and some large pores form shielded voids behind much smaller pores.Nomenclature p vapor phase partial pressure of sorbate - p _sat saturation vapor pressure of sorbate - R gas constant - r pore radius - T absolute temperature - t adsorbed layer thickness - V _L molar volume of adsorbed phase - surface tension - contact angle     

Predissociation lifetime of the 1σ g 2 2σ g diabatic state of He 2 + : a one-channel approach

Summary This work is concerned with the application of a one-channel model to obtaining predissociation lifetimes and transition rates in a system of crossing diabatic states. The calculation focuses on the first shape resonance of the 1 _g ² 2 _g diabatic state of He ₂ ⁺ , which is relatively stable with respect to tunneling. This resonance predissociates as a result of the 1 _g ² 2 _g state being crossed by the 1 _g 1 _u ² dissociative diabatic state near the resonance level. We have estimated its predissociation lifetime to be of the order of 10^–11 s.

Empirical equations of state for adsorption layer: Alkylthiopolyoxyethylene glycols

Surface tension isotherms ofn-alkylthiopolyoxyerhylene glycols:n-C _x H_2x+1S(CH₂CH₂O) _y H, wherex=5 to 8,y=3 or 4, were approximated with orthogonal polynomials to get good quality values of surface pressure (II) and molar area of the adsorbed layer (). The modified Volmer (*(–₀)=Z*R*T) van der Waals and virial equations of state were used to correlate and in terms of real two-dimensional gas. The combination of Volmer and van der Waals equations of state made it possible to determine the interaction energy, , which was prescribed to cohesion of hydrophobic chains in the adsorption layer. The value of for the amphiphiles in question was in the range 0.97–1.91R*T and the average contribution per methylene group was ca. 0.21R*T.The Lennard-Jones potentials calculated from second virial coefficient were of the same range as , but no clear relation was found between their values and number of structure elements of the alkylthiopolyoxyethlene glycols.Presented during 7th International Conference: Surface and Colloid Science, July 7–13, 1991, Compiegne, France     

The phenomenon of conglomerate crystallization in coordination compounds. XXIII: The crystallization behavior of [cis-Co(en)2(N3)(SO3)] · 2H2O (I) and of [cis-Co(en)2(NO2)(SO3)] · H2O (II)

A room temperature water solution of (I) crystallizes as a racemate, space groupP2 ₁/n with lattice constantsa=7.737(6),b=10.694(5),c=15.097(6) Å, and=102.83(5)°;V=1218.05 ų andd (calc; M.W.=337.24, Z=4) = 1.642 g cm^–3. A total of 2381 data were collected over the range 4° 2 < 50°; of these, 1452 (independent and withI 3(I)) were used in the structural analysis. Data were corrected for absorption ( = 15.76 cm^–1), and the relative transmission coefficients ranged from 0.8976 to 0.9984. Refinement led to the finalR(F) andR _w(F) residuals of 0.0858 and 0.1116. A room temperature water solution of (II) crystallizes as a racemate in space group P2₁/c with lattice constantsa=6.638(3),b=11.425(8),c=15.147(16) Å, and=93.27(6)°; F=1146.8 Å andd (calc; M.W.=323.2,Z=4) = 1.872 g cm^–3. A total of 2200 data were collected over the range 4° 2 < 50°; of these, 1918 (independent and withI 3(I)) were used in the structural analysis. Data were corrected for absorption (=16.94 cm^–1), and the relative transmission coefficients ranged from 0.9049 to 0.9967. Refinement led to the finalR(F) andR _w(F) residuals of 0.0231 and 0.0279. The chirality symbol for the particular enantiomer of (I) refined here is (), while for (II) the chirality symbol is (), which means that in the latter compound one of the en rings is in a higher energy conformation. We attribute this result to competitive intramolecular hydrogen-bonded interactions between the — NH₂ hydrogens of the en ligands and the oxygens of the -NO₂ and -SO₃ ligands, strengths which are enhanced by coercing a change in sign of the torsional angle of one en ringa motion which permits both oxo ligands to form stronger hydrogen bonds while retaining proper O O contacts. This phenomenon is not observed in (I) since the azide ligand does not compete with -SO₃ for such hydrogen-bonded interactions, and nonbonded pair repulsions can be minimized without affecting the ability of — SO₃ oxygens to form strong intramolecular hydrogen bonds.     

The electronic structures of urazole,pyrrole, and their ions. The σ-π separability problem

Ab initio all-electron LCGTO-SCF-MO calculations have been made on the 5-membered ring nitrogen heterocycles urazole (C₂H₃N₃O₂), pyrrole (C₄H₅N), and their ion radicals. Wavefunctions were obtained, population analyses made, and electron density contour maps drawn. The results show that for urazole considerable polarity develops in the bonds as a result of a large shift of charge towards the nitrogen atoms at the expense of the carbon and hydrogen atom -electrons with only little effect on the oxygen atom charges. In addition, it is concluded that the -electron approximation should be used with great caution for this type of molecule since the - separability conditions are not well satisfied.

Zusammenfassung Für die Fünfring-Stickstoffheterocylen Urazol (C₂H₃N₃O₂), Pyrrol (C₄H₅N) und ihre Ionenradikale wurden ab initio Rechnungen nach der LCGTO-SCF-MO-Methode durchgeführt, wobei alle Elektronen berücksichtigt wurden. Die Besetzungszahlen wurden ermittelt und die Elektronendichten graphisch dargestellt. Die Rechnungen zeigen, daß für Urazol eine beträchtliche Polarität in den -Bindungen vorhanden ist. Der Grund dafür liegt in der starken Verschiebung der -Ladung in Richtung des Stickstoffatoms auf Kosten der -Elektronen des Kohlenstoffs und Wasserstoffs. Die -Ladungen am Sauerstoff werden kaum beeinflußt. Von einer -Elektronenapproximation für diese Art von Molekülen wird abgeraten, da die --Separationsbedingungen nur ungenügend erfüllt werden.

Après obtention des fonctions d'onde, l'analyse de population est affectuée et les cartes de densité électronique sont dréssées. Les résultats indiquent que l'urazole présente une forte polarité dans les liaisons sigma résultant d'un transfert de charge sigma vers les atomes d'azote aux dépens des atomes de carbone et d'hydrogène et en affectant peu les atomes d'oxygène. De plus, la séparabilité sigma pi n'est pas bien satisfaite dans ce type de molécule.

     

The solid-state structure of (+)-(i)-menthyl 2-formamido-4, 4,4-trifluorobutanoate and the hydrogenation of the 2-butenoate precursor

Hydrogenation ofZ-(–)-(1R, 3R, 4S)-menthyl 2-formamido-4,4,4-trifluoro-2-butenoate catalyzed by Pd/C was performed at atmospheric pressure to yield a mixture of (2R, 1R, 3R, 4S)- and (2S, 1R, 3R, 4S)-menthyl 2-formamido-4,4,4-trifluorobutanoate diastereomers in a 5545 ratio, respectively. Repeated fractional crystallization from ethyl acetate and vapor diffusion of petroleum ether afforded (+)–(2S, 1R, 3R, 4S)-menthyl 2-formamido-4,4,4-trifluorobutanoate as clear colorless, crystalline prisms which were subjected to single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The crystals belong to the orthorhombic system P2₁2₁2₁, and at 213 K:a=5.054(1),b= 10.000(2),c=32.707(1) Å,V=1652.9(4) ų,Z=4,R(F)=0.040, andR _w (F)=0.037. The finding of the (2S)-configuration for the formamido-acid portion of the (+)-ester enabled the configurational assignment of the asymmetric hydrogenation products ofZ-methyl 2-formamido-4, 4,4-trifluoro-2-butenoate catalyzed by chiral diphosphine/rhodium(I) complexes.     

Structural relationships in silatrane molecules

An updated compendium of silatrane structural data is presented. The relationships between nonplanarity at silicon (Si) andd(N-Si), the length of the dative bond, and nonplanarity at nitrogen N andd(N-Si) are examined. Excluding a platinum-substituted derivative: the Si relationship is strong and predicts the limiting length of a strong N Si bond, while the N relationship is weak. A good relationship between _I for the four (non-N) exo- and endocyclic substituents attached to Si holds for silatranes, methyl, keto, and diketo derivatives as well as for 2-carbasilatranes. The relationship fails for strong -donor exocyclic substituents, implicating resonance, and for benzo- and tribenzosilatranes, where steric effects dominate.On Leave of Absence from Academia Sinica, Beijing, People's Republic of China.     

EPR and polarography of nitroazoles. 5. First step in the electrochemical reduction of 2-substituted 5(6)-nitrobenzimidazole using a rotating platinum ring-disk electrode

Using a rotating platinum ring-disk electrode, the electrochemical reduction of 2-substituted 5(6)-nitrobenzimidazoles at the platinum disk in acetonitrile and the oxidation of their radical anions at the ring were studied. During the reduction molecular hydrogen forms by a bimolecular reaction of two primary radical anions. The correlating of electrochemical quantities with the _I, _R, and substituent constants are evidence that E ₁ ^2/d depends on substituent resonance and induction effects to about the same extent, whereas i _lim ^d , n, and E ₁ ^2/r depend predominantly on the resonance effect.For Communication 4, see [1].Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 6, pp. 827–832, June, 1985.     

Synthesis of mesoionic 3-aryl(hetaryl)-1,2,3,4-oxatriazol-5-ones b based on N-aryl-and N-hetarylhydrazones of bromonitroformaldehyde

Dehydrobromination of N-arylhydrazones of bromonitroformaldehyde (at 20°C) in the presence of alkali and ammonium salts of strong mineral acids, HNO₃, silica gel, and Al₂O₃ forms mesoionic 3-aryl-1,2,3,4-oxatriazol-5-ones (3-arylazasydnones). The effect of the electronic properties of the aryl substituent on the course of the reaction is evaluated. This evaluation is used to develop a general method for preparing 3-arylazasydnones with various substituents including novel 3-hetarylazasydnone derivatives of pyrazole, 1,2,4-triazole and pyridine. Aromatic electronic effects (I, R, m, p) of the mesionic 1,2,3,4-oxatriazol-5-on-3-yl moiety are determined by¹⁹F NMR. A scheme is proposed for the dehydrobromination of the bromonitroformaldehyde N-arylhydrazones that includes the intermediate N-aryl-C-(nitro) nitrilimines, ArN^––N=C⁺NO₂, with subsequent isomerization of the latter into 3-arylazasydnones.N.

Salicylaldehydo chelates of bis(cyclopentadienyl) zirconium(IV)

A new series of organometallic ionic chelates of the type [Cp ₂Zr(sal)]⁺ [ROCS₂/RRNCS₂]^–, where Hsal = salicylaldehyde;R =Me, Et, i-Pr ori-Bu andR =R =Me, Et, i-Pr;R =Me,R = benzyl orR =Et,R =m-tolyl, have been synthesized in aqueous medium by the reaction of [Cp ₂Zr(sal)]⁺Cl^– andROCS ₂ ^– K⁺/RRNCS ₂ ^– Na⁺. These compounds have been characterized by chemical analyses, electrical conductance, electronic, IR and¹H-NMR spectral studies. These studies indicate that the complexes are 1:1 electrolytes and the salicylaldehyde ligand is chelating in all these complexes. Therefore, a tetrahedral coordination about the zirconium atom is proposed.
