Synthesis of substituted 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline-4-carboxylic acids

Reduction of some substituted quinoline-4-carboxylic acids was studied. The reduction of 2-alkylquinoline-4-carboxylic acids with Raney nickel in aqueous alkali was stereoselective, and the resulting 2-alkyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline-4-carboxylic acids were individual cis isomers.

Spin-coupled theory for 'N electrons in M orbitals' active spaces

Spin-coupled (SC) theory, an ab initio valence bond (VB) approach which uses a compact and an easy-to-interpret single-orbital product wave function comparable in quality to a ‘N in N’ complete-active-space self-consistent field [CASSCF(N,N)] construction, is extended to ‘N in M’ (N ≠ M) active spaces. The SC(N,M) wave function retains the essential features of the original SC model: It involves just the products of nonorthogonal orbitals covering all distributions of N electrons between M orbitals in which as few orbitals as possible, |N – M|, are doubly occupied (for N > M) or missing (for N < M) and all other orbitals are singly occupied; each of these products is combined with a flexible spin function which allows any mode of coupling of the spins of the orbitals within the product. The SC(N,M) wave function remains much more compact than a CASSCF(N,M) construction; for example, the SC(6,7) wave function includes 35 configuration state functions (CSFs) as opposed to the 490 CSFs in the CASSCF case. The essential features of the SC(N,M) method are illustrated through a SC(6,5) calculation on the cyclopentadienyl anion, C5H5(–), and a SC(6,7) calculation on the tropylium cation, C7H7(+). The SC(6,5) and SC(6,7) wave functions for C5H5(–) and C7H7(+) are shown to provide remarkably clear modern VB models for the electronic structures of these aromatic cyclic ions which closely resemble the well-known SC model of benzene and yet recover almost all of the correlation energy included in the corresponding CASSCF(6,5) and CASSCF(6,7) wave functions: over 97% in the case of C5H5(–) and over 95% in the case of C7H7(+).     

Radiographic study of the phase formation process in obtaining KNbO3

Instability in the formation of KNbO₃ with perovskite structure is complicated by its structural instability. The structural instability accounts for the existence of phases different in their symmetry and cell parameters (rhombic, tetragonal, and cubic) at room temperature.

Azaindole derivatives

The reaction of 6-chloro-7-azaindolines with naphthyllithium and subsequent treatment with benzophenone give (7-aza-6-indolinyl)diphenylcarbinol and 6-unsubstituted 7-azaindolines, the ratios of the amounts of which are determined by the character of the substituent attached to the nitrogen atom in the 1 position of the azaindoline molecules. In the presence of acidic catalysts (1-butyl-4-methyl-7-aza-6-indolinyl)diphenylcarbinol undergoes dehydration to 1-butyl-4-methyl-6-diphenylmethyl-7-azaindole. Ideas regarding the mechanism of this reaction are expressed.See [1] for communication L.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 11, pp. 1527–1530, November, 1977.The authors thank Yu.

The M Emission Spectrum of 68Erbium.

The M emission spectrum of 68Er was reinvestigated using wavelength dispersive spectrometry, with a TAP diffracting crystal. By recording the spectra using the second-order reflection, an improved energy resolution was achieved, which is necessary to resolve the M5O3 line from the neighboring alpha M5N7 transition. In addition to the five lines/bands tabulated in the classical paper of Bearden, a number of further lines were observed. These are M1N3, M3O1, M2N1, M5O3, M3N1, and M4N3. For all the lines with an energy below the M5 absorption structure (M5O3, M3N1, M4N3, and zeta M5N3), an increasing relative intensity with increasing energy of the exciting electrons, E0, was observed. This dependence has its origin in the fact that these lines are normally absorbed whereas Malpha (M5N7) and Mbeta (M4N6) are additionally affected by anomalous line-type absorption.

含氮杂茂配体的类茂配合物NpCpTiCl_2催化乙烯聚合研究

茂金属催化烯烃聚合时不仅须大量甲基铝氧烷(MAO)作助催化剂,而且其稳定性较差,结构修饰困难,这都一定程度上限制了茂金属催化剂的发展.近几年来,将非环戊二烯类配体与IVB 族金属作用形成的配合物应用于催化烯烃聚合的研究大量出现[1],其中非环戊二烯配体有脒化物[2,3]、酰胺基[4,5]、NFDA3唑啉[6]、卟啉[7 ]、烷氧基[8]、芳氧基[9～11]、和β-二酮[12,13]、8-羟基喹啉[14～16]等.这些非茂配合物均可催化乙烯或丙烯聚合,但活性都较低.我们曾制备了含配位原子为氧或氮的非环戊二烯基配体的半茂配合物,即茂金属中一个环戊二烯基配体被非环戊二烯基配体取代,使金属中心与一个茂和一个非茂配体配位而形成的桥连或非桥连型的配合物[17,18].这类配合物不仅稳定性好,而且消耗的助催化剂量较少,活性高,对所得聚合物的结构有一定的控制作用.桥连型半茂配合物以“限制几何构型”催化剂为代表[16,19～20 ],非桥连型半茂配合物的报道较少,如CpTi(OiPr)Me2和CpTi(OAr)X2 [21 ,22].我们选择氮杂茂类配体为非环戊二烯阴离子配体,氮杂茂环以一价阴离子的形式与金属中心钛配位,与另一个环戊二烯阴离子形成类茂型配合物.这种类茂配合物易于制备, 稳定性好,而且消耗的助催化剂量较小.

Addition reaction of ArN(SiMe 3)M (Ar = Ph or 2,6 - (i) Pr 2-C 6H 3 (Dipp); M = Li or Na) to 2 equivalents of alpha-hydrogen-free nitrile RCN (R = dimethylamido) gave the dimeric [M{N(Ar)C(NMe 2)NC(NMe 2)N(SiMe 3)}] 2 ( 1a, Ar = Ph, M = Li; 1b, Ar = Ph, M = Na; 1c, Ar = Dipp, M = Li). 1d was obtained by hydrolysis of 1c at ambient temperature. Treatment of a double ratio of 1a or 1b with anhydrous MCl 2 (M = Mn, Fe, Co) yielded the 1,3,5-triazapentadienato complexes [M{N(Ph)C(NMe 2)NC(NMe 2)N(SiMe 3)} 2] (M = Mn, 2; Fe, 3; Co, 4) and with NiCl 2.6H 2O gave [M{N(Ph)C(NMe 2)NC(NMe 2)N(H)} 2] (M = Ni, 5). Treatment of an equiv of 1c with anhydrous CuCl in situ and in air led to complexes [{N(Dipp)C(NMe 2)NC(NMe 2)N(SiMe 3)}CuPPh 3] 6 and [Cu{N(Dipp)C(NMe 2)NC(NMe 2)N(H)} 2] 7, respectively. 1c, 1d, and 2- 7 were characterized by X-ray crystallography and microanalysis. 1c, 1d, 5, and 6 were well characterized by (1)H, (13)C NMR, 1c by (7)Li, and 6 by (31)P NMR as well. The structural features of these complexes were described in detail.

Amide-silyl ligand exchanges and equilibria among group 4 amide and silyl complexes

M(NMe2)4 (M = Zr, 1a; Hf, 1b) and the silyl anion (SiButPh2)- (2) in Li(THF)2SiButPh2 (2-Li) were found to undergo a ligand exchange to give [M(NMe2)3(SiButPh2)2]- (M = Zr, 3a; Hf, 3b) and [M(NMe2)5]- (M = Zr, 4a; Hf, 4b) in THF. The reaction is reversible, leading to equilibria: 2 1a (or 1b) + 2 2 <--> 3a (or 3b) + 4a (or 4b). In toluene, the reaction of 1a with 2 yields [(Me2N)3Zr(SiButPh2)2]-[Zr(NMe2)5Li2(THF)4]+ (5) as an ionic pair. The silyl anion 2 selectively attacks the -N(SiMe3)2 ligand in (Me2N)3Zr-N(SiMe3)2 (6a) to give 3a and [N(SiMe3)2]- (7) in reversible reaction: 6a + 2 2 <--> 3a + 7. The following equilibria have also been observed and studied: 2M(NMe2)4 (1a; 1b) + [Si(SiMe3)3]- (8) <--> (Me2N)3M-Si(SiMe3)3 (M = Zr, 9a; Hf, 9b) + [M(NMe2)5]- (M = Zr, 4a; Hf, 4b); 6a (or 6b) + 8 <--> 9a (or 9b) + [N(SiMe3)2]- (7). The current study represents rare, direct observations of reversible amide-silyl exchanges and their equilibria. Crystal structures of 5, (Me2N)3Hf-Si(SiMe3)3 (9b), and [Hf(NMe2)4]2 (dimer of 1b), as well as the preparation of (Me2N)3M-N(SiMe3)2 (6a; 6b) are also reported.

Predicted group 4 tetra-azides M(N3)(4) (M = Ti-Hf,Th): the first examples of linear M-NNN coordination

Quantum chemical calculations suggest that group 4 tetra-azides M(N(3))(4), where M = Ti, Zr, Hf, and Th, are stable species. They present a unique structural feature; namely, the M-N-N-N fragments are linear. These species are energetically more stable than the corresponding isomers with general formula eta(5)-N(5) -M-eta(7)-N(7), and the Th species, Th(N(3))(4), is the most stable of all. Possible mixed nitride azides NMN(3) were also investigated.     

Formation of superhydrophobic surfaces by the deposition of coatings from supercritical carbon dioxide

The deposition of uniform coatings of fluorinated polymers from solutions in supercritical carbon dioxide on a number of rough substrates allowed superhydrophobic (ultrahydrophobic) properties to be imparted to their surfaces, and, namely, to increase the value of the contact angle for water droplet to 150° and greater. The dynamics of changing of geometry of a drying droplet on a substrate is studied. A procedure is developed that permits the penetration of water into the substrate to be detected.
