Substitution électrophile aromatique dans l'anhydride sulfureux liquide. Etude cinétique de la réaction de bromation d'anisoles monosubstitués. Transmission des effets électroniques et caractéristiques de l'état de transition

Reactivity-structure correlations for anisole and eleven of its substituted derivatives established from bromination rate constants in liquid SO₂, unlike observations in water, show the reaction to be highly sensitive to substituent effects, (ρ = ?7.1; ρ = ?10.51). This result is ascribed to the solvation of the methoxy group which decreases the conjugation of para-substituted (ρ = ?9.70) compared to that of ortho-substituted derivatives (ρ = ?8.86). The highly solvated transition state lies far from reactants on the reaction coordinate and the positive charge developed in this state is nearly unity.     

Réactions de substitution dans l'anion tétrachloropalladate(II) avec des diamines. I. Ethylènediamine

The replacement of Cl^? by ethylenediamine (en) in PdCl has been followed spectrophotometrically at 25°C and μ = 1 (NaClO₄); it proceeds in two steps leading to Pd(en)Cl₂ and Pd(en), respectively. The observed rate constants are discussed in terms of the mechanism proposed by Reinhardt [1] for the successive ammination reactions of PdCl.     

Étude en RMN du 13C de Dérivés de la Pipéridone-4 Stériquement Encombrés et des Oximes Correspondantes

The regiospecific differences in chemical shifts caused by the oximino group, such as Δδ as Δδ parameters, are useful to estimate conformational distortions directly from ¹³C spectra. Particularly, twist-boat conformations resulting from oximation of sterically hindered piperidones are unambiguously detected.     

L'action de l'ammoniac sur l'hydroxyde de cadmium et la stabilité des complexes en milieu aqueux

The solubility of precipitated Cd(OH)₂ was determined at 25°C in 1 M NaClO₄, as a function of pH and of the ammonia content of the solutions. Formation constants were obtained for the following hydroxo, ammine and hydroxo-ammine complexes: CdOH⁺, Cd(OH)₂, Cd(OH), CdNH, Cd(NH₃), Cd(NH₃), Cd(NH₃) and Cd(OH)₂NH₃. The solubility product of the hydroxide was also calculated. The presence of polynuclear species was investigated by titrimetric determinations of the hydrogen ion concentration at constant metal concentration.

Extended basis CNDO calculations of linear and nonlinear electric susceptibilities of some molecular dianions and carbonions using coupled Hartree–Fock perturbation theory

The results of calculating the average polarizabilities, first and second hyperpolarizabilities and molar Kerr constants of C₅H, C₆H, 2-C₁₀H, 2-C₁₄H, C₈H and C₈H are reported. The main elements of our computational scheme are McWeeny's coupled Hartree–Fock perturbation theory and an extended basis CNDO wave function. It is shown that the studied anions have nonlinearities within the same order of magnitude as their respective uncharged parent molecules. The Kerr constants of these anions are analyzed and the contribution of the various terms is appraised.

Evaluation of two‐center,three‐ and four‐electron integrals over Slater‐type orbitals in elliptical coordinates

An algorithm for evaluation of two‐center, three‐electron integrals with the correlation factors of the type rr and rrr as well as four‐electron integrals with the correlation factors rrr and rrr in the Slater basis is presented. This problem has been solved here in elliptical coordinates, using the generalized and modified form of the Neumann expansion of the interelectronic distance function r for k ≥ ?1. Some numerical results are also included. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Quantum Chem, 2004     

Hylleraas–CI with linked correlation terms

Hylleraas–CI calculations with linked correlation terms of the form rr are discussed. Formulas for the integration of the angular part are deduced and a method for the reduction of the radial part to auxiliary integrals is given. In the case of the Li atom, it is shown that for the calculation of the ground-state energy an ansatz for the wave function with at most two factors rr is sufficient to achieve spectroscopic accuracy. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Etude cinétique des effets de fluence énergétique,de débit de fluence,et d'effacement induits par des ions lourds et des photons γ dans le triacétate de cellulose

The kinetic interpretation of the damage produced by heavy ions (Kr and Cl from 1 MeV/amu) and γ radiation in cellulose triacetate leads to an exponential dependence on the ion fluence. A comparison of the fading effect produced by heavy ions and γ rays shows that the heavy ions, unlike γ rays, cause irreversible damage. Finally, a nonlinear dependence on the flux of ions and γ rays is found in the kinetics of radiation damage. This result is contrary to the usual assumption that heavy-ion flux, like γ-ray flux, is additive, at least for the fluxes of 10⁹?2 × 10¹⁰ ions/cm²s and dose rates of 10³–10⁴ Gy/h used in this work.     

Ternäre Komplexe in Lösung IV. Einfluss von 2,2′-Bipyridyl auf Stabilität und Acidität des Cu2+-Adenosin-5′-monophosphat-N(1)-oxid-1:1-Komplexes

The ternary Cu²⁺?2,2′-bipyridyl-adenosine-5′-monophosphate-N(1)-oxide complex was investigated and compared with the binary Cu²⁺-adenosine-5′-monophosphate-N(1)-oxide complex (I) (cf. [2]). In both complexes Cu²⁺ is bound to the o-amino-N-oxide group of adenosine-5′-monophosphate-N(1)-oxide (HL). The stabilities of the complexes monoprotonated at the phosphate group are of the same order: log K = 11,20, and log K = 11,19. The acidity constants for the deprolonation of the phosphate group in these complexes are slightly different (pK = 5,55, and pK = 5,88), but as expected both values are lower than the corresponding value pK = 6,12 of the ligand.

A method to calculate the one‐electron reduction potentials for nitroaromatic compounds based on gas‐phase quantum mechanics

Nitroaromatic compounds (NACs) are widespread environmental contaminants, and the one‐electron reduction potential (E) is an important parameter used in modeling their environmental fate. We have identified a method that is both accurate and efficient to predict E values for NACs, using gas‐phase quantum mechanics (QM) calculations combined with empirical correlations. First, the adiabatic electron affinity (EA) at 0 K is calculated using the B98/MG3S method, and the predictions are scaled by a factor of 0.802 to account for systematic errors in the density functional calculations. Second, the E values are predicted from a linear correlation between E and EA. Using this method, E values were predicted with a mean absolute deviation from measured values of 0.021 V for the 14 NACs used to obtain the correlation and 0.029 V for six additional NACs. This represents a substantial improvement in accuracy over predictions by other QM methods, which are affected by large errors in solvation or aqueous‐phase calculations for some compounds. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Darstellung und spektroskopische Charakterisierung des Clusteranions [(Mo6Cl8i)(CF3COO)6a]2−

Preparation and Spectroscopic Characterization of the Cluster Anion [(Mo₆Cl )(CF₃COO) ]^2? On heating of [(Mo₆Cl)Cl]^2? in dichloromethane with trifluoroacetic acid the new stable cluster anion [(Mo₆Cl)(CF₃COO)]^2? is formed by elimination of HCl. The (Mo₆Cl) unit remains unattacked. The ¹⁹F nmr spectrum exhibits a downfield shifted singulett as compared to free CF₃COO^? indicating the equivalence of all trifluoroacetate ligands, which unidentate coordination is deduced from characteristic i. r. frequencies of the carboxyl groups. The most intense i.r. band at 501 cm^?1 is assigned to the antisymmetric Mo? O^a vibration, the most intense Raman line at 319 cm^?1 to the breathing mode of the Cl cube.     

SCF and MC–SCF Study of CO2 with bond angle variation

Multiconfiguration (MC ) SCF calculations are reported for CO₂ for bond angles between 60° and 180°. The ground state configuration is found to be …?5a4b∣b∣a for small bending angles and …?6a3b∣b∣a for large bending angles, the change in ground state character occurring at a bond angle of about 100°. The force constant for bending obtained from the MC –SCF function is about 8.0% lower than the corresponding SCF value, and in considerably better agreement with experiment.     

Electron–phonon coupling detection in infrared spectra of ion–radical salts based on dibenztetrathiofulvalen

The electron–phonon coupling constants in a cation radical of dibenztetrathiofulvalen (DBTTF) have been calculated. To calculate the electronic structure of DBTTF in equilibrium and distorted structures use was made of the unrestricted Hartree–Fock method as π-electron approximation for symmetrical vibrations of DBTTF. The results obtained are in good agreement with the experimental data on IR spectra of DBTTF-based cation–radical salts.

Autocatalytic oxidation of β‐alanine by peroxomonosulfate in the presence of copper(II) ion

Kinetics and mechanism of oxidation of β‐alanine by peroxomonosulfate (PMS) in the presence of Cu(II) ion at pH 4.2 (acetic acid/sodium acetate) has been studied. Autocatalysis was observed only in the presence of copper(II) ion, and this was explained due to the formation of hydroperoxide intermediate. The rate constant for the catalyzed (k) and uncatalyzed (k) reaction has been calculated. The kinetic data obtained reveal that both the reactions are first order with respect to [PMS]. k values initially increase with the increase in [β‐alanine] and reach a limiting value, but k values decrease with the increase in [β‐alanine]. k values increase linearly with the increase in [Cu(II)], whereas k values increase with [Cu(II)]². Furthermore, k values are independent of [acetate], but k values decrease with the increase in acetate. A suitable mechanism has been proposed to explain the experimental observation. The reaction has been studied at different temperatures, and the activation parameters are calculated. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Chem Kinet 40: 44–49, 2008     

The calculation of ligand-field multiplet states from multiple-scattering Xα wave functions

A method is outlined for the calculation of the multiplet ligand-field states of transition metal complexes. The procedure involves the use of MS-Xα wave functions, in connection with irreducible tensor operators, and allows the calculation of the elements of the many-electron CI matrices. Comparison of the calculated and experimental multiplet state energies of CrF, CrCl, and MnF allows one to conclude that the method is useful for the prediction of ligand-field spectra of transition-metal complexes.
