混合阴、阳离子表面活性剂溶液中的分子相互作用和相分离

混合阴、阳离子表面活性剂的表面活性比单一组份的表面活性高得多[1]．多年来，该体系的界面化学性质得到了广泛的研究［1，2］．但是，一旦该体系在水溶液中的浓度超过其临界胶团浓度（cmc）后，就将沉淀[3]或分层［2，4］，从而失去其表面活性．后来发现卜，司，在某些情况下，阴、阳离子混合表面活性剂的沉淀现象有所改善；但一直不易找到在相当大浓度范围内仍不分层的阴、阳离子表面活性剂混合体系．本文较为简明、系统地讨论了阴、阳离子表面活性剂的相互作用与沉淀或分相的关系．这对于该体系的深入研究以及实际应用，具有积极的意义…     

Effects of nonionic micelles on the rate of alkaline hydrolysis of N-(2'-methoxyphenyl)phthalimide (1): kinetic and rheometric evidence for a transition from spherical to rodlike micelles under the typical reaction conditions

Pseudo-first-order rate constants (k(obs)) for alkaline hydrolysis of N-(2'-methoxyphenyl)phthalimide (1) decrease nonlinearly with increasing total concentration of nonionic surfactant C(m)E(n) (i.e. [C(m)E(n)](T) where m and n represent the respective number of methyl/methylene units in the tail and polyoxyethylene units in the headgroup of a surfactant molecule and m/n=16/20, 12/23 and 18/20) at constant 2% v/v CH(3)CN and 1.0 mM NaOH. The k(obs)vs. [C(m)E(n)](T) data follow the pseudophase micellar (PM) model at ≤ 50 mM C(16)E(20), ≤ 1.4 mM C(12)E(23) and ≤ 2.0 mM C(18)E(20) where rate of hydrolysis of 1 in micellar pseudophase could not be detected. The values of k(obs) fail to follow the PM model at > ～50 mM C(16)E(20), > ～1.4 mM C(12)E(23) and > ～2.0 mM C(18)E(20) which has been attributed to a micellar structural transition from spherical to rodlike which in turn increases C(m)E(n) micellar binding constant (K(S)) of 1 with increasing values of [C(m)E(n)](T). Rheological measurements show the presence of spherical micelles at ≤ 50 mM C(16)E(20), ≤ 1.4 mM C(12)E(23) and ≤ 3.0 mM C(18)E(20). The presence of rodlike micelles is evident from rheological measurements at > ～50 mM C(16)E(20), > ～1.4 mM C(12)E(23) and > ～3.0 mM C(18)E(20).     

Reactivity of triruthenium thiophyne and furyne clusters: competitive S-C and P-C bond cleavage reactions and the generation of highly unsymmetrical alkyne ligands

The synthesis and reactivity of the thiophyne and furyne clusters [Ru3(CO)7(mu-dppm)(mu3-eta2-C4H2E)(mu-P(C4H3E)2)(mu-H)] (E = S, O) is reported. Addition of P(C4H3E)3 to [Ru3(CO)10(mu-dppm)] (1) at room temperature in the presence of Me3NO gives simple substitution products [Ru3(CO)9(mu-dppm)(P(C4H3E)3)] (E = S, 2; E = O, 3). Mild thermolysis in the presence of further Me3NO affords the thiophyne and furyne complexes [Ru3(CO)7(mu-dppm)(mu3-eta2-C4H2E)(mu-P(C4H3E)2)(mu-H)] (E = S, 4; E = O, 6) resulting from both carbon-hydrogen and carbon-phosphorus bond activation. In each the C4H2E (E = S, O) ligand donates 4-electrons to the cluster and the rings are tilted with respect to the mu-dppm and the phosphido-bridged open triruthenium unit. Heating 4 at 80 degrees C leads to the formation of the ring-opened cluster [Ru3(CO)5(mu-CO)(mu-dppm)(mu3-eta3-SC4H3)(mu-P(C4H3S)2)] (5) resulting from carbon-sulfur bond scission and carbon-hydrogen bond formation and containing a ring-opened mu3-eta3-1-thia-1,3-butadiene ligand. In contrast, a similar thermolysis of 3 affords the phosphinidene cluster [Ru3(CO)7(mu-dppm)(mu3-eta2-C4H2O)(mu3-P(C4H3O))] (7) resulting from a second phosphorus-carbon bond cleavage and (presumably) elimination of furan. Treatment of 4 and 6 with PPh3 affords the simple phosphine-substituted products [Ru3(CO)6(PPh3)(mu-dppm)(mu3-eta2-C4H2E)(mu-P(C4H3E)2)(mu-H)] (E = S, 8; E = O, 9). Both thiophyne and furyne clusters 4 and 6 readily react with hydrogen bromide to give [Ru3(CO)6Br(mu-Br)(mu-dppm)(mu3-eta2-eta1-C4H2E)(mu-P(C4H3E)2)(mu-H)] (E = S, 10; E = O, 11) containing both terminal and bridging bromides. Here the alkynes bind in a highly unsymmetrical manner with one carbon acting as a bridging alkylidene and the second as a terminally bonded Fisher carbene. As far as we are aware, this binding mode has only previously been noted in ynamine complexes or those with metals in different oxidation states. The crystal structures of seven of these new triruthenium clusters have been carried out, allowing a detailed analysis of the relative orientations of coordinated ligands.     

Crystalline Divinyldiarsenes and Cleavage of the As=As Bond

The first divinyldiarsenes [{(NHC)C(Ph)}As]₂ (NHC=IPr 3 a , SIPr 3 b ; IPr=C{(NAr)CH}₂; SIPr=C{(NAr)CH₂}₂; Ar=2,6-iPr₂C₆H₃) are reported. Compounds 3 a and 3 b were prepared by the reduction of corresponding chlorides {(NHC)C(Ph)}AsCl₂ (NHC=IPr 2 a , SIPr 2 b ) with Mg. Calculations revealed a small HOMO–LUMO energy gap of 3.86 ( 3 a ) and 4.24 eV ( 3 b ). Treatment of 3 a with (Me₂S)AuCl led to the cleavage of the As=As bond to restore 2 a , which is expected to proceed via the diarsane [{(IPr)C(Ph)}AsCl]₂ ( 4 ). Remarkably, 4 as well as 2 a can be selectively accessed on treatment of 3 a with an appropriate amount of C₂Cl₆. Moreover, 3 a readily reacts with PhEEPh (E=Se or Te) at room temperature to give {(IPr)C(Ph)}As(EPh)₂ (E=Se 5 a ; Te 5 b ), revealing the cleavage of As=As and E−E bonds and the formation of As−E bonds. Such highly selective stepwise oxidation ( 3 a → 4 → 2 a ) and bond metathesis ( 3 a → 5 a , b ) reactions are unprecedented in main-group chemistry.     

A simple method relating specific rate constants k(E,J) and Thermally averaged rate constants k(infinity)(T) of unimolecular bond fission and the reverse barrierless association reactions

This work describes a simple method linking specific rate constants k(E,J) of bond fission reactions AB --> A + B with thermally averaged capture rate constants k(cap)(T) of the reverse barrierless combination reactions A + B --> AB (or the corresponding high-pressure dissociation or recombination rate constants k(infinity)(T)). Practical applications are given for ionic and neutral reaction systems. The method, in the first stage, requires a phase-space theoretical treatment with the most realistic minimum energy path potential available, either from reduced dimensionality ab initio or from model calculations of the potential, providing the centrifugal barriers E(0)(J). The effects of the anisotropy of the potential afterward are expressed in terms of specific and thermal rigidity factors f(rigid)(E,J) and f(rigid)(T), respectively. Simple relationships provide a link between f(rigid)(E,J) and f(rigid)(T) where J is an average value of J related to J(max)(E), i.e., the maximum J value compatible with E > or = E0(J), and f(rigid)(E,J) applies to the transitional modes. Methods for constructing f(rigid)(E,J) from f(rigid)(E,J) are also described. The derived relationships are adaptable and can be used on that level of information which is available either from more detailed theoretical calculations or from limited experimental information on specific or thermally averaged rate constants. The examples used for illustration are the systems C6H6+ <==> C6H5+ + H, C8H10+ --> C7H7+ + CH3, n-C9H12+ <==> C7H7+ + C2H5, n-C10H14+ <==> C7H7+ + C3H7, HO2 <==> H + O2, HO2 <==> HO + O, and H2O2 <==> 2HO.     

Structures and stabilities of group 13 adducts [(NHC)(EX3)] and [(NHC)2(E2X(n))] (E=B to In; X=H, Cl; n=4, 2, 0; NHC=N-heterocyclic carbene) and the search for hydrogen storage systems: a theoretical study

Quantum chemical calculations using density functional theory at the BP86/TZVPP level and ab initio calculations at the SCS-MP2/TZVPP level have been carried out for the group 13 complexes [(NHC)(EX(3))] and [(NHC)(2)(E(2)X(n))] (E=B to In; X=H, Cl; n=4, 2, 0; NHC=N-heterocyclic carbene). The monodentate Lewis acids EX(3) and the bidentate Lewis acids E(2) X(n) bind N-heterocyclic carbenes rather strongly in donor-acceptor complexes [(NHC)(EX(3))] and [(NHC)(2)(E(2)X(n))]. The equilibrium structures of the bidentate complexes depend on the electronic reference state of E(2)X(n), which may vary for different atoms E and X. All complexes [(NHC)(2)(E(2)X(4))] possess C(s) symmetry in which the NHC ligands bind in a trans conformation to the group 13 atoms E. The complexes [(NHC)(2)(E(2)H(2))] with E=B, Al, Ga have also C(s) symmetry with a trans arrangement of the NHC ligands and a planar CE(H)E(H)C moiety that has a E=E π bond. In contrast, the indium complex [(NHC)(2)(In(2) H(2))] has C(i) symmetry with pyramidal-coordinated In atoms in which the hydrogen atoms are twisted above and below the CInInC plane. The latter C(i) form is calculated for all chloride systems [(NHC)(2)(E(2)Cl(2))], but the boron complex [(NHC)(2)(B(2)Cl(2))] deviates only slightly from C(s) symmetry. The B(2) fragment in the linear coordinated complex [(NHC)(2)(B(2))] has a highly excited (3)(1)Σ(g)(-) reference state, which gives an effective B≡B triple bond with a very short interatomic distance. The heavier homologues [(NHC)(2)(E(2))] (E=Al to In) exhibit a anti-periplanar arrangement of the NHC ligands in which the E(2) fragments have a (1)(1) Δ(g) reference state and an E=E double bond. The calculated energies suggest that the dihydrogen release from the complexes [(NHC)(EH(3))] and [(NHC)(2)(E(2)H(n))] becomes energetically more favourable when atom E becomes heavier. The indium complexes should therefore be the best candidates of the investigated series for hydrogen-storage systems that could potentially deliver dihydrogen at close to ambient temperature. The hydrogenation reaction of the dimeric magnesium(I) compound [LMgMgL] (L=β-diketiminate) with [(NHC)(EH(3))] becomes increasingly exothermic with the trend B相似文献   

Synergistic extraction of cobalt(II) from cesium containing aqueous solutions with mixtures of 4-acyl-pyrazol-5-ols and crown ethers

The synergistic extraction of cobalt(II) from aqueous solutions loaded with cesium chloride or nitrate, with mixtures of 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-acyl-pyrazol-5-ols (HL) [acyl = benzoyl (HPMBP), para-tert.-butyl-benzoyl (HPMB'P), stearoyl (HPMSP)] and crown ethers E = B15C5, 18C6, DC18C6, DB18C6 and DB24C8 (DC = dicyclohexano, B = benzo, DB = dibenzo), in CHCl(3), CH(2)Cl(2) and ClCH(2)CH(2)Cl, has been studied. The experimental data agree with the extracted species E(2)CsCoL(3) (E = B15C5), ECsCoL(3), (E = DB18C6) and CoL(2)E (E = DB24C8). The extraction yields follow the orders: 18C6 DC18C6 > DB18C6 > B15C5 > DB24C8, HPMBP > HPMB'P > HPMSP, and ClCH(2)CH(2)Cl > CH(2)Cl(2) > CHCl(3). In spite of the better complexation of potassium than cesium with "18C6" type crown ethers, the extraction of ECsCo (PMBP)(3) is generally higher than the EKCo(PMBP)(3) one. Except in the case of DB24C8, loading the aqueous phase with Cs(+), K(+), Sr(2+) or Ba(2+) improves the synergistic extraction of cobalt.     

Syntheses and structures of heterometallic clusters by the reaction of o-carboranyl cobaltadichalcogenolato complexes

Metalladichalcogenolate cluster complexes [Cp'Co{E(2)C(2)(B(10)H(10))}]{Co2(CO)5} [Cp' = eta5-C5H5, E = S(3a), E = Se(3b); Cp' = eta5-C5(CH3)5, E = S(4a), E = Se(4b)], {CpCo[E(2)C(2)(B(10)H(10))]}(2)Mo(CO)2] [E = S(5a), Se(5b)], Cp*Co(micro2-CO)Mo(CO)(py)2[E(2)C(2)(B(10)H(10))] [E = S(6a), Se(6b)], Cp*Co[E(2)C(2)(B(10)H(10))]Mo(CO)2[E(2)C(2)(B(10)H(10))] [E = S(7a), Se(7b)], (Cp'Co[E(2)C(2)(B(10)H(10))]W(CO)2 [E(2)C(2)(B(10)H(10))] [Cp' = eta5-C5H5, E = S(8a), E = Se(8b); Cp' = eta5-C5(CH3)5, E = S(9a), E = Se(9b)], {CpCo[E(2)C(2)(B(10)H(10))]}(2)Ni [E = S(10a), Se(10b)] and 3,4-(PhCN(4)S)-3,1,2-[PhCN(4)SCo(Cp)S(2)]-3,1,2-CoC(2)B(9)H(8) 12 were synthesized by the reaction of [Cp'CoE(2)C(2)(B(10)H(10))] [Cp' = eta5-C5H5, E = S(1a), E = Se(1b); Cp' = eta5-C5(CH3)5, E = S(2a), E = Se(2b)] with Co2(CO)8, M(CO)3(py)3 (M = Mo, W), Ni(COD)2, [Rh(COD)Cl]2, and LiSCN4Ph respectively. Their spectrum analyses and crystal structures were investigated. In this series of multinuclear complexes, 3a,b and 4a,b contain a closed Co3 triangular geometry, while in complexes 5a-7b three different structures were obtained, the tungsten-cobalt mixed-metal complexes have only the binuclear structure, and the nickel-cobalt complexes were obtained in the trinuclear form. A novel structure was found in metallacarborane complex 12, with a B-S bond formed at the B(7) site. The molecular structures of 4a, 5a, 6a, 7b, 9a, 9b, 10a and 12 have been determined by X-ray crystallography.     

Novel Aplysinopsin-Type Alkaloids from Scleractinian Corals of the Family Dendrophylliidae of the Mediterranean and the Philippines. Configurational-assignment criteria,stereospecific synthesis,and photoisomerization

From the scleractinian coral Tubastraea sp. (Dendrophylliidae) collected at Palawan, Philippines, 3′-deimino-3′-oxoaplysinopsin ( 4 ) and 6-bromo-3′-deimino-3′-oxoaplysinopsin ( 6 ) are now isolated as 5:2 mixtures of (E/Z) stereoisomers. The 3′-deimino-2′,4′-bis(demethyl)-3′-oxoaplysinopsin ( 7 ) and 6-bromo-3′-demino-2′,4-bis(demethyl)-3′-oxoaplysinopsin ( 5 ) are isolated as 2:3 and 1:1 (E/Z) mixtures, respectively, from another dendrophylliid, Leptopsammia pruvoti, collected near Marseille, Mediterranean coast of France. Larger amounts of these and related compounds, needed for a full structural determination, are obtained by synthesis. Thus, condensations of indol-3-carboxaldehyde (9) or of its 6-bromo derivative 14 with hydantoin (15) , 3-methylhydantoin (11) , or 1,3dimethylhydantoin (10) give the prevalent natural aplysinopsins with high stereospecificity. The minor stereoisomers (Z)- 4 , (Z)- 6 , (E)- 7 , and (E)- 5 are obtained by (E/Z) photoisomerization under UV light of the condensation mixtures. The configuration is assigned from larger H? C(8)/C(5′) ¹H, ¹³C couplings in the (E) than in the (Z) isomer, and, in the case of 4 and 6 , from NOE enhancement at Me? N(2′) on irradiation at H? C(8). The stereospecificity of the condensations is attributed to steric inhibition to planarity in the rate-limiting transition states, due to N(2′)/H? C(2) repulsion with (Z)- 4 and (Z)- 6 , or to C(5′)?O/H? C(2) repulsion with (E)–7 or (E)- 5 . As the aplysinopsins undergo (E/Z ) phostoisomerization also under the daylight conditions of the laboratory, their isomeric composition in nature can not be presently assessed.     

Kinetic coupled with UV spectral evidence for near-irreversible nonionic micellar binding of N-benzylphthalimide under the typical reaction conditions: an observation against a major assumption of the pseudophase micellar model

Pseudo-first-order rate constants (k(obs)) for alkaline hydrolysis of N-benzylphthalimide (1) show a nonlinear decrease with the increase in [C(m)E(n)]T (total concentration of Brij 58, m = 16, n = 20 and Brij 56, m = 16, n = 10) at constant [CH(3)CN] and [NaOH]. These nonionic micellar effects, within the certain typical reaction conditions, have been explained in terms of the pseudophase micellar (PM) model. The values of micellar binding constants (KS) of 1 are 1.04 x 10(3) M(-1) (at 1.0 x 10(-3) M NaOH) and 1.08 x 10(3) M(-1) (at 2.0 x 10(-3) M NaOH) for C(16)E(20) as well as 600 M(-1) (at 7.6 x 10(-4) M NaOH) and 670 M(-1) (at 1.0 x 10(-3) M NaOH) for C(16)E(10) micelles. The pseudo-first-order rate constants (kM) for hydrolysis of 1 in C(16)E(20) micellar pseudophase are approximately 90-fold smaller than those (kW) in water phase. The values of kM for hydrolysis of 1 in C(16)E(10) micelles are almost zero. Kinetic coupled with UV spectral data reveals significant irreversible nonionic micellar binding of 1 molecules in the micellar environment of nearly zero hydroxide ion concentration at >or=0.14 M C(16)E(20) and 1.0 x 10(-3) M NaOH while such observations could not be detected at or=3 x 10(-3) M C(16)E(10) and 7.6 x 10(-4) M NaOH, while the rate of hydrolysis of 1 is completely ceased at >or=0.05 M C(16)E(10) and 7.6 x 10(-4) M NaOH. The rate of hydrolysis of 1 at 5.0 x 10(-2) and 8.8 x 10(-2) M C(16)E(10) and 1.0 x 10(-3) M NaOH reveals the formation of presumably phthalic anhydride, whereas such observation was not observed in the C(16)E(20) micellar system under similar experimental conditions.     

Effects of spiroconjugation on the calculated singlet-triplet energy gap in 2,2-dialkoxycyclopentane-1,3-diyls and on the experimental electronic absorption spectra of singlet 1,3-diphenyl derivatives. Assignment of the lowest-energy electronic transition of singlet cyclopentane-1,3-diyls

The effect of a 2,2-ethylene-ketal functionality on the singlet-triplet energy gap (Delta E(ST)) and on the first electronic transition in singlet cyclopentane-1,3-diyls (1) has been investigated. UDFT calculations predict a significant increase in the preference for a singlet ground state in the diradical with the cyclic ketal at C2 (1g; Delta E(ST) = -6.6 kcal/mol in C(2) symmetry and -7.6 kcal/mol in C(2v) symmetry), compared to the 2,2-dihydroxy- and 2,2-dimethoxy-disubstituted diradicals (1d, Delta E(ST) = -3.6 kcal/mol in C(2) symmetry, and 1e, Delta E(ST) = -3.4 kcal/mol in C(2) symmetry). Spiroconjugation is shown to be responsible for the larger calculated value of absolute value Delta E(ST) in 1g, relative to 1d and 1e. A strong correlation between the calculated values of Delta E(ST) and the computed electronic excitation energies of the singlet diradicals is found for diradicals 1d, 1e, and 1g and for 2,2-difluorocyclopentane-1,3-diyl (1c). A similar correlation between Delta E(ST) and lambda(calcd) is predicted for the corresponding 1,3-diphenylcyclopentane-1,3-diyls 3, and the predicted blue shift in the spectrum of 3g, relative to 3e, has been confirmed by experimental comparisons of the electronic absorption spectra of the annelated derivatives 2c, 2e, and 2g in a glass at 77 K. The wavelength of the first absorption band in the singlet diradicals decreases in the order 2e (lambda(onset) = 650 nm) > 2g (lambda(onset) = 590 nm) > 2c (lambda(onset) = 580 nm). The combination of these computational and experimental results provides a sound basis for reassignment of the first electronic absorption band in singlet diradicals 2c, 2e, and 2g to the excitation of an electron from the HOMO to the LUMO of these 2,2-disubstituted derivatives of cyclopentane-1,3-diyl.     

Kinetik und stereochemischer Verlauf der thermischen Umlagerung der vier stereoisomeren Propenyl-(but-2′-enyl)-äther

The gas-phase rearrangement of (1Z, 2′E)-, (1Z, 2′Z)-, (1E, 2′E)-, and (1E, 2′Z)- propenyl but-2′-enyl ether (Z, E)-, (Z, Z)-, (E, E)-, and (E, Z)-1) into erythro- and threo-2, 3-dimethyl-pent-4-en-al (erythro- and threo-2) was investigated over a temperature range from 142,5° to 190,0° at 20–35 Torr (for kinetic data and activation parameters see table 2). All four stereoisomeric ethers 1 rearrange preferentially via a chair-like transition state C into the aldehydes 2 (ΔΔG^≠ (160°) = 2,5–2,7 kcal/mol for B – C (B = boat-like transition state). The relative rates (k_rel) for (Z, Z)-1, (Z, E)-1, (E,Z)-1, and (E,E)-1 at 160° are 1,0, 2,9, 4,3 and 9,0 respectively (see table 5). Taking into account the relative enthalpies of the ethers 1 and the steric interaction in the C transition state of the ethers 1 (see table 6), k_rel values can be estimated. They are in good agreement with those observed (see table 5).     

Farnesyl diphosphate synthase: the art of compromise between substrate selectivity and stereoselectivity

Farnesyl diphosphate (FPP) synthase catalyzes the consecutive head-to-tail condensations of isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP, C5) with dimethylallyl diphosphate (DMAPP, C5) and geranyl diphosphate (GPP, C10) to give (E,E)-FPP (C15). The enzyme belongs to a genetically distinct family of chain elongation enzymes that install E-double bonds during each addition of a five-carbon isoprene unit. Analysis of the C10 and C15 products from incubations with avian FPP synthase reveals that small amounts of neryl diphosphate (Z-C10) and (Z,E)-FPP are formed along with the E-isomers during the C5 --> C10 and C10 --> C15 reactions. Similar results were obtained for FPP synthase from Escherichia coli, Artemisia tridentata (sage brush), Pyrococcus furiosus, and Methanobacter thermautotrophicus and for GPP and FPP synthesized in vivo by E. coli FPP synthase. When (R)-[2-2H]IPP was a substrate for chain elongation, no deuterium was found in the chain elongation products. In contrast, the deuterium in (S)-[2-2H]IPP was incorporated into all of the products. Thus, the pro-R hydrogen at C2 of IPP is lost when the E- and Z-double bond isomers are formed. The synthesis of Z-double bond isomers by FPP synthase during chain elongation is unexpected for a highly evolved enzyme and probably reflects a compromise between optimizing double bond stereoselectivity and the need to exclude DMAPP from the IPP binding site.     

Experimental investigation of the Jahn-Teller effect in the ground and excited electronic states of the tropyl radical. Part II. Vibrational analysis of the A 2E"3-X 2E"2 electronic transition

Laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) and laser-excited dispersed fluorescence (LEDF) spectra of the cycloheptatrienyl (tropyl) radical C7H7 have been observed under supersonic jet-cooling conditions. Assignment of the LIF excitation spectrum yields detailed information about the A-state vibronic structure. The LEDF emission was collected by pumping different vibronic bands of the A 2E"3<--X 2E"2 electronic spectrum. Analysis of the LEDF spectra yields valuable information about the vibronic levels of the X 2E"2 state. The X- and A-state vibronic structures characterize the Jahn-Teller distortion of the respective potential energy surfaces. A thorough analysis reveals observable Jahn-Teller activity in three of the four e'3 modes for the X 2E"2 state and two of the three e'1 modes for the A 2E"3 state and provides values for their deperturbed vibrational frequencies as well as linear Jahn-Teller coupling constants. The molecular parameters characterizing the Jahn-Teller interaction in the X and A states of C7H7 are compared to theoretical results and to those previously obtained for C5H5 and C6H6+.     

The adamantane rearrangement of 1,2-trimethylenenorbornanes. Part V. Rearrangements of 1,2-trimethylenenorbornanes initiated by regioselective formation of carbocation centers at C(2) and C(6)

The behaviour of the regioselectively generated carbocation centers at C(2) and C(6) in 1,2-trimethylenenorbornanes was investigated in order to study the occurrence or absence of a degenerate rearrangement E⇄M in the adamantane rearrangement of both 1,2-endo- ( 1 ) and 1,2-exo-trimethylenenorbornane ( 2 ) to 2-endo,6-endo-trimethylenenorbornane ( 3 ). A degenerate rearrangement E⇄M is inevitably involved inasmuch as a 1,2-trimethylenenorborn-2-yl cation E not only is formed directly as manifested by the conversions of the reactants 4 (C(2), C(3)-olefin) and 6 (C(2), C(3′)-olefin), but also indirectly (via F→E ) if the leaving group at C(6) to be ionized occupies the endo-position (6-endo-alcohol 8 ). No degenerate rearrangement E⇄M is operative starting from reactants that lead directly to a 2,6-trimethylenenorborn-2-yl cation G ; this is the case with both the ionization of the 6-exo-alcohol 10 having the leaving OH-group in a stereoelectronically favoured configuration to undergo simultaneous C(1), C(2)-bond migration (→ G ) as well as the protonation of the olefin 13 which is followed by same reaction pathway.

Reactivity of Bridged Pentelidene Complexes with Isonitriles: A New Way to Pentel‐Containing Heterocycles

The reaction of [Cp*E{W(CO)₅}₂] (E=P ( 1 a ), As ( 1 b ); Cp*=1,2,3,4,5‐pentamethylcyclopentadienyl) with isonitriles RNC (R=tBu, cyclohexyl (Cy), nBu) depends on the steric demand of the substituent at the isonitrile as well as on the stoichiometry of the starting materials. With tBuNC only the Lewis acid/base adducts [Cp*E{W(CO)₅}₂(CNtBu)] (E=P ( 2 a ), As ( 2 b )) are formed. The use of Cy and n‐butylisonitrile leads first to the formation of the Lewis acid/base adduct, but only at low temperatures. At ambient temperatures, a rearrangement occurs and bicyclo[3.2.0]heptane derivatives of the type [{C(Me)C(CH₂)C(Me)C(Me)C(Me)}C(NR)‐ E{W(CO)₅}₂] (E=P, As; R=Cy, nBu) ( 3 a‐Cy , 3 b‐Cy , 3 a‐nBu and 3 b‐nBu ) are obtained. The use of a further equivalent of isonitrile results in products revealing two new structural motifs, the four‐membered ring derivatives [C(Cp*)N(R)C(NR)E{W(CO)₅}₂] ( 4 : E=P, As; R=Cy, nBu) and the bicyclic complexes [[{C(Me)C‐ (CH₂)C(Me)C(Me)C(Me)}C(NR)₂‐ E{W(CO)₅}₂] ( 5 : E=As; R=Cy). The reaction pathway depends on the substituent at the isonitrile. By treatment of 1 a with two equivalents of CyNC only a 2H‐1,3‐azaphosphet complex 4 a‐Cy (E=P; R=Cy) is formed. Treatment of 1 b with two equivalents of CyNC exclusively leads to the complex 5 b‐Cy (E=As; R=Cy). Treatment of 1 a with two equivalents of nBuNC results in a mixture of complexes, the 2H‐1,3‐azaphosphet 4 a‐nBu (E=P; R=nBu) and the bicyclic complex 5 a‐nBu (E=P; R=nBu). For the arsenidene complex 1 b a mixture of the 2H‐1,3‐azarsete complex 4 b‐nBu (E=As; R=nBu) and the bicyclic complex 5 b‐nBu (E=P, As; R=Cy, nBu) is obtained. Complex 4 b‐nBu is the first example of a 2H‐1,3‐azarsete complex. All products have been characterized by using mass spectrometry, NMR spectroscopy, and X‐ray diffraction analysis.     

Homo‐ and copolymerization of norbornene derivatives with ethene by ansa‐fluorenylamidodimethyltitanium activated with methylaluminoxane

(t‐BuNSiMe₂Flu)TiMe₂ ( 1 ) activated with Me₃Al‐free methylaluminoxane (dried MAO) which conducts vinyl addition polymerization of norbornene (N) with very high activity was applied for homopolymerization of N derivatives (i.e., 5‐vinyl‐2‐norbornene (5V2N), 5‐ethylidene‐2‐norbornene (5E2N), dicyclopentadiene (DCPD)) at 40 °C. The activities for the N derivatives were about two orders of magnitude lower than that for N and decreased in the following order: 5E2N ? 5V2N ? DCPD. Copolymerization of ethene (E) and 5E2N under an atmospheric pressure of E was then conducted by 1 ‐dried MAO. The copolymerization proceeded with better activity than the homopolymerization of 5E2N and gave poly(E‐co‐5E2N) with narrow molecular weight distribution. The content of the ethylidene group in poly(E‐co‐5E2N) was controlled by the feed ratio of 5E2N/E. The T_g value of the copolymer changed from 70 °C to 155 °C according to the 5E2N content from 27 mol % to 68 mol %. The addition of N as a third monomer to the E‐5E2N copolymerization improved the activity and raised the T_g values of the terpolymer above 200 °C. The content of 5E2N was controlled by the 5E2N/N ratio with keeping the high T_g values. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem 45: 4581–4587, 2007     

Observation of a sequence of wetting transitions in the binary water+ethylene glycol monobutyl ether mixture

A homemade pendant drop/bubble tensiometer was assembled and applied to perform the surface-interfacial tension measurements for the binary water+ethylene glycol monobutyl ether (C4E1) mixture over the temperature range from 50 to 128 degrees C at 10 bar. The symbol CiEj is the abbreviation of a nonionic polyoxyethylene alcohol CiH2i+1(OCH2CH2)jOH. The wetting behavior of the C4E1-rich phase at the interface separating the gas and the aqueous phases was systematically examined according to the wetting coefficient calculated from the experimental results of surface/interfacial tensions. It was found that the C4E1-rich phase exhibits a sequence of wetting transitions, nonwetting-->partial wetting-->complete wetting, at the gas-water interface in the water+C4E1 system along with increasing the temperature, consistent with the conjecture of Kahlweit and Busse [J. Chem. Phys. 91, 1339 (1989)]. In addition, the relationship of the mutual solubility and the interfacial tension of the interface separating the C4E1-rich phase and the aqueous phase is discussed.
