Fluorescence of phthalocyanines: Emission from an upper excited state

The weak (φ_f < 10³) fluorescence at around 430 nm of the S² upper excited singlet state of metal-free phthalocyanine and metallophthalocyanines is presented. Polarization measurements indicate that the emission is short-lived (< 800 ps) contrary to the intense (φ_f > 0.3) normal emission at around 700 nm originating from S¹ and having a lifetime in the 4.1 to 10.6 ns range, depending on the solvent. The short wavelength emitting S² excited state has been populated by a two photon absorption process using the excitation light at 695 nm of a pulsed ruby laser. This process is shown not to involve the triplet state but the following stepwise two photon absorption process: .     

Reaction of Ru3(CO)12 with 1,3-diferrocenylprop-2-ene-1-one. Crystal and molecular structures of the complexes Ru3(CO)8(FcC=CHCOFc)2 and [Ru(CO)2Cl(FcC=CHCOFc)]2

The reaction of Ru₃(CO)₁₂ with 1,3-diferrocenylprop-2-en-1-one,trans-FcCH=CHCOFc (where Fc is ferrocenyl), in boiling hexane afforded the complex (2c), which was converted into (3c) upon further heating. These complexes gave the complex (4) containing two Cl-bridged oxaruthenacycles upon dissolution in CHCl₃ or CH₂Cl₂. The structures of complexes 3 and 4 were established by X-ray diffraction analysis. According to the data of¹H NMR spectroscopy, the Cl-bridged complex exists in solutions as a mixture of isomers along with the monomeric form resulting from the cleavage of the halide bridges. All interconversions of the isomers occur with the participation of the monomeric form. Published inIzvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 9, pp. 1616–1623, September, 2000.

Laser,photolysis of formic acid vapor at 222 nm. quantum yields of stable products

Quantum yields of the stable products, CO, CO₂ and H₂, formed in the excimer laser photolysis of formcc acid vapor at 222 nm and 296 K, have been determined. The results, taken together with the primary quantum yield of OH and the mechanssm of the subsequent reaction of OH with formic acid, studied earlier in our laboratory, are consistent with the photolytic channels, . Although calculated and measured yields from the photolysis of a range of pressures of formcc acid are in good agreemen,, the mechanism is not unique, and molecular photodecomposition paths may occur for the monomer to some extent.

A new type of polarographic catalytic wave of organic compound

The polamgraphic behavior and catalytic wave mechanism of medroprogestemne acetate (MPA) were studied in both aqueous and DMF media. In 0.2 mol/L acetic acid-sodium acetate (pH 5.0) buffer solution, the bond of MPA first undergoes le, lH⁺ reduction to form protonated free radical HMPA, the further reduction of HMPA in le,1H⁺ process is simultaneous with the dimerization reaction between HMPA and neutral molecular MPA. In DMF media containing 0.1 mol/L tetrabutylammonium tetrafluoborate (TBA.BF₄), the bond of MPA shows two le, 1H⁺reduction waves, which are ascribed to the reduction of MPA and free radical MPA.^-, respectively. Here, no dimerization reaction occurs. These processes produce the reduction wave of MPA. In the presence of oxidant KIO₃,a polamgraphic catalytic wave of MPA is observable due to a chemical reaction between HMPA. or MPA.^- and KIO₃ as well as its intermediate species to regenerate MPA. The catalytic wave, which is caused by the reduction of organic compound itself and the chemical reaction between oxidant and organic intermediate free radical to regenerate original organic compound, is a new-type wave of organic compound. Under optimum experimental conditions, the sensitivity of MPA catalytic wave in the presence of KIO₃ is an order of magnitude higher than that of its reduction wave. The catalytic wave can be used for analytical purpose. The calculated rate constant of catalytic reaction is 1.7 × 10³ mol·L^-1·s^-1.

Synthesis,structures and properties ofN-(trihalogermylmethyl)-substituted amides,lactams and imides,the derivatives of the five-coordinate germanium

The formation of trichlorogermyl-substituted amides, lactams, and imides occurs when 2Et₂O·HGeCl₃ is condensed with compounds possessing the -NCH₂Cl fragment and equally well when HGeCl₃ interacts with compounds containing -NCH₂OH and-NCH₂OSiMe₃ groups. In some cases, the use of the latter is more advantageous from the preparative point of view. In compounds thus obtained, the germanium is five-coordinate due to the coordination .

Synthesis of New Hybrid Organic-Inorganic Alumina Gels by the Sol-Gel Method

New hybrid organic-inorganic alumina gels have been prepared by reacting aluminum sec-butoxide and propane-1,2-diol, in CCl₄ as solvent. This reaction occurred without water addition and without the use of any catalyst, leading to the formation of transparent and monolithic gels. IR,²⁷Al and¹³CNMR show that an interchange reaction between OBu ^s alkoxide groups and diol groups occurred, leading to the hybrid gels. Samples heat treated at different temperatures under argon are weakly porous and have a small specific surface area. XRD indicates the presence of pure α-alumina at 1450°C.     

Structural transformations during the gas chromatography of carbamates

Summary There is no apparent paucity of examples illustrative of the structural changes observed during the gas chromatography of diverse carbamates and thiocarbamates. In many cases the resultat thermal degradation products observed are analogous in some measure to the three possible modes of decomposition reported in nonchromatographic thermal studies for N-phenyl carbamates [4, 35, 36], e.g., Dyer andWright [35] have shown that when R is a primary or secondary alkyl group, all three modes of decomposition can occur when the reaction is carried out in the absence of solvents. If the amine and isocyanate products are allowed to remain in the formation mixture, diphenyl urea is also formed, viz., As has been shown, the thermal and hydrolytic stabilities of carbamates exhibit a marked dependence upon the degree and type of N-substitution. Disubstituted carbamates are quite resistant to thermal decomposition (as well as hydrolysis). Monosubstituted carbamates readily undergo thermal decomposition at elevated temperatures to yield primarily the respective isocyanate while unsubstituted carbamates have been reported to decompose to allophanates, cyanuric acid, and alcohol [37]. The thermal decomposition of unsubstituted carbamates is accelerated appreciably in the presence of eventrace amounts of metal salts, giving rise to the formation of cyamelide. The degradative scheme for the diol dicarbamates (as typified by the medicinal carbamates, meprobamate and soma) is more difficult to interpret.Paquin [38] reported that the pyrolysis of the dicarbamate of 1,3-butylene glycol (I), yielded an oxazolidone (II) and a cyclic urea (III) as follows: The further degradation of compounds II and III under pyrolytic conditions remains a distinct possibility.

Strukturumwandlungen w?hrend der Gas-Chromatographie von Carbamaten

Zusammenfassung Es besteht offenbar kein Mangel an Beispielen für Strukturumwandlungen w?hrend der Gas-Chromatographie verschiedener Carbamate und Thiocarbamate. In vielen F?llen entsprechen die beobachteten resultierenden thermischen Abbauprodukte in gewissem Ma?e den drei m?glichen Abbauformen, über die in nichtchromatographischen thermischen Untersuchungen von N-Phenylcarbamaten berichtet wird [4, 35, 36], z.B. Dyer Wright [35] haben gezeigt, da?, wenn R eine prim?re oder sekund?re Alkylgruppe ist, alle drei Abbauformen vorkommen k?nnen, wenn die Reaktion in Abwesenheit von L?sungsmitteln stattfindet. Wenn die Amin- und Isocyanat-Produkte in der Mischung belassen werden, bildet sich auch Diphenylharnstoff, n?mlich: Wie gezeigt wurde, besitzt die thermische und hydrolytische Stabilit?t von Carbamaten eine starke Abh?ngigkeit von Grad und Art der N-Substitution. Disubstituierte Carbamate sind ziemlich resistent gegen therm?sche Zersetzung (wie auch gegen Hydrolyse). Monosubstitutierte Carbamate lassen sich bei h?heren Temperaturen leicht thermisch zersetzen, wobei haupts?chlich das entsprechende Isocyanat entsteht, w?hrend sich unsubstituierte Carbamate nach [37] in Allophanate, Cyanurs?ure und Alkohol zersetzen. Der thermische Abbau unsubstituierter Carbamate wird durch Anwesenheit selbst geringer Spuren von Metallsalzen nennenswert beschleunigt, wobei Cyamelid entsteht. Das Abbauschema für die Diol-Dicarbamate (typische Beispiele: medizinische Carbamate, Meprobamat und Soma) ist schwieriger zu interpretieren.Paquin [38] berichtet, da? bei der Pyrolyse des Dicarbamats von 1,3-Butylenglycol (I) ein Oxazolidon (II) und ein cyclischer Harnstoff (III) in der folgenden Weise entstanden: Der weitere Abbau der Verbindungen II und III unter Pyrolysebedingungen ist nicht auszuschlie?en.

Transformations de structure pendant la chromatographie en phase gazeuse de carbamates

Sommaire On ne manque pas d'exemples qui illustrent les transformations de structure observées pendant la chromatographie en phase gazeuse de divers carbamates et thiocarbamates. Souvent les produits de dégradation thermiques obtenus sont analogues, dans une certaine mesure, a ceux formés par décomposition thermique selon un des schémas probable signalé ci-après, procédés qui furent decrits pour des carbamates N-phényliques [4, 35, 36] dans des études de stabilité thermique non-chromatographiques, par exemple: Dyer etWright [35] ont démontré, si R est un groupe alkyle primaire ou secondaire, les trois modes de décomposition peuvent avoir lieu si la réaction se produit en l'absence de solvants. Si les amines et les isocyanates sont laissés dans le mélange, il y a aussi formation de diphénylurée, c'est-à-dire Il a été montré que la stabilité thermique et hydrolytique de carbamates dépend fortement du degré et type de la N-substitution. Des carbamates disubstitués sont assez résistants à la décomposition thermique (ainsi qu'à l'hydrolyse). Les carbamates monosubstitutés sont facilement sujets à la décomposition thermique à des températures élevées, produisant surtout l'isocyanate correspondant, tandis que, selon la littérature, des carbamates non-substitués sont décomposés en formant des allophanates, acide cyanurique, et alcool [37]. La décomposition thermique de carbamates non-substitués est accélérée sensiblement par la présence de sels métalliques, même à l'état de trace, provoquant la formation de cyamélide. Le schéma de dégradation des diol-dicarbamates (exemples typiques: carbamates médicinaux, méprobamate, soma) est plus difficile à interpréter.Paquin [38] a trouvé que la pyrolyse du dicarbamate de 1,3-butylène glycol (I) produit un oxazolidone (II) et une urée cyclique (III) d'après le schéma suivant: La dégradation ultérieure des composés II et III sous des conditions pyrolytiques n'est pas à exclure.

Synthesis of [D-phe3 (NH2); Pro3; D-Ala6]- and [D-Phe2 (NO2); Pro3; D-Ala6]luliberins

In order to study the influence of substituents of the aromatic ring of D-phenyl-alanine on the inhibiting capacity of luliberian analogs, we have synthesized two new analogs: and luliberin. The synthesis was performed by the fragmentary condensation method using 2+(3+5) and 2+(5+3) schemes. A new and convenient method of obtaining the amide of the C-terminal tetrapeptide of the luliberin sequence has been developed. In the condensation of the fragments, both the azide and the carbodimide method of synthesis with the addition of l-hydroxybenzotriazole were used. The guanidino group of arginine was protected by nitration, while the hydroxy groups of serine and of tyrosine were not protected. The complete elimination of the protective groups from the decapeptides was performed by catalytic hydrogenation over Pd on carbon and by anhydrous HF with the addition of anisole at 0°C. The protected octa- and decapeptides were purified by gel filtration on Sephadex LH-20 in ethanol or by preparative thin-layer chromatography on silica gel plates. The final peptides were purified by ion-ex-exchange chromatography on Sephadex CM-25. A. A. Zhdanov Leningrad State University.

Three new rare-earth metal (Pr, Nd and Sm) salt hydrates of 3-nitro-1,2,4-triazol-5-one (NTO) were prepared and characterized. The thermal behaviour of the three salt hydrates, M(NTO)₃·nH₂O (M=Pr and Nd,n=9;M=Sm,n=8) were studied by means of TG and DSC under conditions of linear temperature increase. The thermal decomposition intermediates were determined by means of IR, MS and X-ray diffraction spectrometry. The thermal decomposition mechanisms of these hydrates were proposed as follows: We express our thanks to Professor Zhu Chunhua, Associate Professor Fu Xiayun, and Lecturers Fan Tao and Liang Yanjun for their help in this work.
