Darstellung von trans-[Pt(ox)2X2]2− (X = Cl,Br, I,SCN, OH) durch oxydative Addition an [Pt(ox)2]2− in organischen Solventien

Preparation of trans-[Pt(ox)₂X₂]^2? (X = Cl, Br, I, SCN, OH) by Oxidative Addition to [Pt(ox)₂]^2? in Organic Solvents After extraction of [Pt(ox)₂]^2? with long-chain alkyl-ammonium ions into organic solvents the new Pt^IV complexes trans-[Pt(ox)₂X₂]^2?, X = Cl, Br, I, SCN, OH, are formed directly by oxidative addition. In nonpolar solvents the bulky organic cations prevent the formation of compounds with columnar structure which by partial oxidation in aqueous solution are formed immediately. The IR and Ra spectra of the stable anhydrous (TBA) salts are assigned according to point group D_2h. A characteristical dependence of the C?O, C? O, and Pt? O stretching modes in response to the oxidation state of the central ion is observed. There is vibrational fine structure in the absorption spectrum of [Pt(ox)₂]^2? measured at 10 K with long progressions by coupling of d—d transitions with v_s(Pt? O) and v_s(C?O). The characteristical feature in the UV/VIS spectra of the Pt^IV complexes is caused by intensive π(O, X) ← e_g(Pt) CT transitions.     

OsII-Phthalocyaninate(2−): Darstellung und Eigenschaften von (Halogeno)-(carbonyl)phthalocyaninato(2−)osmat(II)

Os^II Phthalocyaninates(2?): Synthesis and Properties of (Halo)(carbonyl)phthalocyaninato-(2?)osmate(II) Soluble, blue tetra(n-butyl)ammonium (halo)(carbonyl)phthalocyaninato(2?)osmate(II), (ⁿBu₄N)[Os(X)(CO)Pc^2?] (X = Cl, Br, I) is obtained by the reaction of [Os(THF)(CO)Pc^2?] (THF: tetrahydrofurane) with (ⁿBu₄N)X in THF. In the cyclovoltammograms there are three reversible electrode processes at ?1.21 ± 0.01, 0.18 ± 0.04 and 0.65 ± 0.01 V assigned to the three redox pairs Pc^2?/Pc^3?, Os^II/Os^III and Pc^2?/Pc^3?. In the electronic absorption spectra only the intense B and Q regions are observed at ～ 15800 resp. 27500, 33000 cm^?1. The infrared and resonance Raman spectra closely resemble those of other phthalocyaninates(2?) of low valent osmium. In the infrared spectrum v(C? O) is detected at 1896 ± 4 cm^?1 and v(Os? X) at 260 (X = Cl), 175 (X = Br) or 143 cm^?1 (X = I).     

Die Quecksilber(II)-Ionen induzierte Hydrolyse gemischter Hexahalogenoosmate(IV)

Mercury(II)-Induced Hydrolysis of Mixed Hexahalo-Osmates(IV) The strong hydrolytic activity of Hg²⁺ ions on complexes [OsX_nI_6?n]^2?, X = Cl or Br; n = 1 – 5, is due to electrophilic attack at the I ligands. Small amounts of Hg²⁺ remove only one I. The very stable [HgI]⁺ and [HgI₂] are formed along with the corresponding pentahalo-monaquo-osmates(IV). In cis-[OsCl₄I₂]^2? and fac-[OsCl₃I₃]^2? ligands rearrange during hydrolysis giving the thermodynamically favoured I? Os? H₂O axis. Other mono- and bivalent cations have only a slight catalytic effect on the aquation, increasing with the size from Mg²⁺ to Ba²⁺.     

Gemischte Halogeno-Äthylendiamin-Komplexe von Osmium(III) und (IV)

Mixed Halogeno-Ethylendiamine Complexes of Osmium (III) and (IV) [OsCl₄en] or [OsBr₄en] and [OsCl₄en]- or [OsBr₄en]- are prepared by reaction of [Os(en-H)₂en]Br₂ with HCl or HBr. Whereas the chelate group behaves inert, the halogeno ligands become substituted easily, alltogether or partly. This enables the preparation of [OsI₄en], of complexes of the type [OsCl_nBr_4?en]-, n = 1–3, and of other compounds. The chemical properties and infrared spectra of the new complexes are discussed.     

Osmium(II)-Phthalocyanine: Darstellung und Eigenschaften von Di(acido)phthalocyaninatoosmaten(II)

Osmium(II) Phthalocyanines: Preparation and Properties of Di(acido)phthalocyaninatoosmates(II) “H[Os(X)₂Pc^2?]” (X = Br, Cl) reacts in basic medium or in the melt with (ⁿBu₄N)X forming less stable, diamagnetic, darkgreen (ⁿBu₄N)₂[Os(X)₂Pc^2?]. Similar dicyano and diimidazolido(Im) complexes are formed by the reaction of “H[Os(Cl)₂Pc^2?]” with excess ligand in the presence of [BH₄]^?. The cyclic voltammograms show up to three quasireversible redoxprocesses: E_1/2(I) = 0.13 V (X = CN), ?0.03 V (Im), ?0.13 V (Br) resp. ?0.18 V (Cl) is metal directed (Os^II/III), E_1/2(II) = 0.69 V (Cl), 0.71 V (Br), 0.83 V (CN), 1.02 V (Im) is ligand directed (Pc^2?/?) and E_1/2(III) = 1.17 V (Cl) resp. 1.23 V (Br) is again metal directed (Os^III/IV). Between the typical “B” (～16.2 kK) and “Q” (～29.4 kK), “N regions” (～34.1 kK) up to seven strong “extra bands” of the phthalocyanine dianion (Pc^2?) are observed in the uv-vis spectrum. Within the row CN > Im > Br > Cl, most of the bands are shifted slightly, the “extra bands” considerably more to lower energy in correlation with E_1/2(I). The vibrational spectra are typical for the Pc^2? ligand with D_4h symmetry. M.i.r. bands at 514, 909, 1 173 and 1 331 cm^?1 are specific for hexa-coordinated low spin Os^II phthalocyanines. In the resonance Raman (r.r.) spectra polarized, depolarized or anomalously polarized deformation and stretching vibrations of the Pc^2? ligand will be selectively enhanced, if the excitation frequency coincides with “extra bands”. With excitation at ～19.5 kK the intensity of the symmetrical Os? X stretching vibration at 295 cm^?1 (X = Cl), 252 cm^?1 (X = Im) and 181 cm^?1 (X = Br) is r.r. enhanced, too. The asymmetrical Os? X stretching vibration is observed in the f.i.r. spectrum at 345 cm^?1 (X = CN), 274 cm^?1 (X = Cl), 261 cm^?1 (X = Im) and 200 cm^?1 (X = Br).     

Heteropentanuclear Oxalato‐Bridged nd–4f (n=4, 5) Metal Complexes with NO Ligand: Synthesis,Crystal Structures,Aqueous Stability and Antiproliferative Activity

A series of heteropentanuclear oxalate‐bridged Ru(NO)‐Ln (4d–4f) metal complexes of the general formula (nBu₄N)₅[Ln{RuCl₃(μ‐ox)(NO)}₄], where Ln=Y ( 2 ), Gd ( 3 ), Tb ( 4 ), Dy ( 5 ) and ox=oxalate anion, were obtained by treatment of (nBu₄N)₂[RuCl₃(ox)(NO)] ( 1 ) with the respective lanthanide salt in 4:1 molar ratio. The compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, electrospray ionization (ESI) mass spectrometry, while 1 , 2 , and 5 were in addition analyzed by X‐ray crystallography, 1 by Ru K‐edge XAS and 1 and 2 by ¹³C NMR spectroscopy. X‐ray diffraction showed that in 2 and 5 four complex anions [RuCl₃(ox)(NO)]^2? are coordinated to Y^III and Dy^III, respectively, with formation of [Ln{RuCl₃(μ‐ox)(NO)}₄]^5? (Ln=Y, Dy). While Y^III is eight‐coordinate in 2 , Dy^III is nine‐coordinate in 5 , with an additional coordination of an EtOH molecule. The negative charge is counterbalanced by five nBu₄N⁺ ions present in the crystal structure. The stability of complexes 2 and 5 in aqueous medium was monitored by UV/Vis spectroscopy. The antiproliferative activity of ruthenium‐lanthanide complexes 2 – 5 were assayed in two human cancer cell lines (HeLa and A549) and in a noncancerous cell line (MRC‐5) and compared with those obtained for the previously reported Os(NO)‐Ln (5d–4f) analogues (nBu₄N)₅[Ln{OsCl₃(ox)(NO)}₄] (Ln=Y ( 6 ), Gd ( 7 ), Tb ( 8 ), Dy ( 9 )). Complexes 2 – 5 were found to be slightly more active than 1 in inhibiting the proliferation of HeLa and A549 cells, and significantly more cytotoxic than 5d–4f metal complexes 6 – 9 in terms of IC₅₀ values. The highest antiproliferative activity with IC₅₀ values of 20.0 and 22.4 μM was found for 4 in HeLa and A549 cell lines, respectively. These cytotoxicity results are in accord with the presented ICP‐MS data, indicating five‐ to eightfold greater accumulation of ruthenium versus osmium in human A549 cancer cells.     

Effect of External Pressure on the Excitation Energy Transfer from [Cr(ox)3]3− to [Cr(bpy)3]3+ in [Rh1−xCrx(bpy)3][NaM1−yCry(ox)3]ClO4

Resonant excitation energy transfer from [Cr(ox)₃]^3? to [Cr(bpy)₃]³⁺ in the doped 3D oxalate networks [Rh_1?xCr_x(bpy)₃][NaM^III_1?yCr_y(ox)₃]ClO₄ (ox=C₂O₄^?, bpy=2,2′‐bipyridine, M=Al, Rh) is due to two types of interaction, namely super exchange coupling and electric dipole–dipole interaction. The energy transfer probability for both mechanisms is proportional to the spectral overlap of the ²E→⁴A₂ emission of the [Cr(ox)₃]^3? donor and the ⁴A₂→²T₁ absorption of the [Cr(bpy)₃]³⁺ acceptor. The spin‐flip transitions of (pseudo‐)octahedral Cr³⁺ are known to shift to lower energy with increasing pressure. Because the shift rates of the two transitions in question differ, the spectral overlap between the donor emission and the acceptor absorption is a function of applied pressure. For [Rh_1?xCr_x(bpy)₃][NaM_1?yCr_y(ox)₃]ClO₄ the spectral overlap is thus substantially reduced on increasing pressure from 0 to 2.5 GPa. As a result, the energy transfer probability decreases with increasing pressure as evidenced by a decrease in the relative emission intensity from the [Cr(bpy)₃]³⁺ acceptor.     

Neue 1,1′-Ferrocendichalkogenato-Komplexe des Rutheniums und Osmiums

New 1,1′-Ferrocene Dichalcogenato Complexes of Ruthenium and Osmium Both trinuclear 1,1′-ferrocene dichalcogenato complexes(¹) such as fc(E[ML_n])₂ ( 1a—c ) (with [ML_n] = Ru(CO)₂Cp*; E = S, Se, Te) and dinuclear [3]ferrocenophane derivatives of the type fcE₂[ML_n] (with [ML_n] = Ru(CO)(η⁶-C₆Me₆) ( 2a, b ), Ru(NO)Cp* ( 3a, b ) (E = S, Se) or Os(NO)Cp* ( 4a—c ) (E = S, Se, Te)) were synthesized and characterized by their IR-, ¹H- and ¹³C NMR spectra as well as their mass spectra. The molecular structure of fcS₂[Os(NO)Cp*] ( 4a ) was determined by an X-Ray structure analysis; the long Fe…?Os distance of 431.1(1)pm excludes any direct bonding interactions.     

Intra- und intermolekulare Ligandenaustauschreaktionen der Chloro-Bromo-Osmate(IV) in unpolaren Lösungsmitteln

Intra and Intermolecular Ligand Exchange Reactions of Chloro-Bromo-Osmates(IV) in Non-Polar Solvents The hexahalo complexes of Os(IV) are extractable as ionpairs by long-chain alkylammonium ions, e. g. tridodecylammonium(TDDA⁺) in the non-polar solvents (benzene, toluene, chloroform, cyclohexane). The nearly unsolvated “naked” complexes are very reactive. Even at room temperature a fast intramolecular isomerization of the pure cis- resp. trans-chloro-bromo complexes takes place. The ligand exchange with HCl resp. HBr dissolved in toluene is 10²–10⁴ times faster than in aqueous medium. (TDDA)₂[OsF₆] reacts with dry HBr in toluene giving mixed complexes of the type [OsF_nBr_6–n]^2?.     

Trennung und Charakterisierung von Chloro-aquo-hydroxo-oxo-osmaten(IV)

Separation and Characterization of Chloro-aquo-hydroxo-oxo-osmates(IV) As a result of the acidic hydrolysis of hexachloroosmate(IV), OsCl₆^2?, and/or the careful reduction of osmium tetroxide with iron(II) sulfate in hydrochloric acid products have been obtained which have been separated by column chromatography using diethylaminoethyl cellulose. On the basis of the analytically determined Os:Cl ratios, the ionic charges that could be deduced from the elution behaviour, and the absorption spectra the products have been characterized as the monomers OsCl₅(H₂O)^?, cis-OsCl₄(OH)(H₂O)^?, fac-OsCl₃(OH)₂(H₂O)^? and mer-OsCl₃(OH)(H₂O)₂, the O-bridged dimers Cl₅Os? O? OsCl₅^4?, cis-(H₂O)Cl₄Os? O? OsCl₄(H₂O)^2?and fac-(H₂O)(OH)Cl₃Os? O? OsCl₃(OH)(H₂O)^2? and the hydrogen bridges forming OH-bridged dimers shown in “Inhaltsübersicht”.     

Die FIR-Spektren gemischter Hexahalogeno-Osmate (IV) vom OsCl6-nXn-Typ (X = Br,I) und ihre Normalkoordinatenanalyse

The far infrared (FIR) spectra of [OsCl₅I]²⁻, cis-[OsCl₄I₂]²⁻, fac-[OsCl₃I₃]²⁻, [OsCl₅Br]²⁻ and cis-[OsCl₄Br₂]²⁻ (Cs-salts) have been recorded at temperatures down to 35 K. The measured band peaks are assigned to symmetry levels using group theory arguments and normal coordinate analyses starting from corresponding octahedral OsX²⁻₆ compounds. In general, OsX bonding properties can be transferred from one compound to another except for XOsY axes where distinct trans-effects are operative. Normal coordinates are also able to explain weak oscillator strengths when predicting small changes of transition dipole moments.     

Darstellung,Kristallstruktur, Schwingungsspektren und Normalkoordinatenanalyse von [Co(NH3)6][Os(SCN)6]

Synthesis, Crystal Structure, Vibrational Spectra, and Normal Coordinate Analysis of [Co(NH₃)₆][Os(SCN)₆] From the mixture of the linkage isomers [Os(NCS)_n(SCN)_6–n]^3–, n = 0–2, pure [Os(SCN)₆]^3– has been isolated by ion exchange chromatography on diethylaminoethyl cellulose. The X‐ray structure determination on a single crystal of [Co(NH₃)₆][Os(SCN)₆] (trigonal, space group R 3, a = 12.368(2), c = 11.830(2) Å, Z = 3) reveals that the thiocyanate ligands are exclusively S‐coordinated with the Os–S distance of 2.388 Å and the Os–S–C angle of 108.8°. The IR and Raman spectra of (n‐Bu₄N)₃[Os(SCN)₆] are assigned by normal coordinate analysis based on the molecular parameters of the X‐ray determination. The valence force constant f_d(OsS) is 1.42 mdyn/Å.     

Metallkomplexe mit Tetrapyrrol-Liganden. 68. Synthese wasserlöslicher Osmium-Porphyrin-Komplexe

Metal Complexes with Tetrapyrrole Ligands. 68. Synthesis of Water-Soluble Osmium Porphyrin Complexes The synthesis of osmium tetraphenylporphyrinates with functional groups in the para-position of the phenyl rings is described. By sulfonation of the corresponding para-unsubstituted complex the carbonylosmium(II)-complex [OsCO(TPPS₄)H₂O]^4? or the dioxoosmium(VI)-complex [OsO₂(TPPS₄)]^4? [(TPPS₄)^6?: hexa-anion of tetrakis(4-sulfonatophenyl)porphyrin] is obtained. The osmochrome complex [Os(TPPS₄)(1-Meim)₂]^4?, which changes to the osmichrome complex [Os(TPPS₄)(1-Meim)₂]^3? in the presence of air, is formed from the dioxo-compound by reduction. These anions are deposited as water-soluble sodium- or as water-insoluble tetraphenylarsonium salts. The novel osmochrome complex Os(TMeCPP)(1-Meim)₂ (TMeCPP)^2?: [dianion of tetrakis(4-methoxycarbonylphenyl)porphyrin] is transformed by alcaline saponification and precipitation with hydrochloric acid to the corresponding alcali-soluble osmochrome tetracarbonic acid Os(TH₄CPP)(1-Meim)₂. UV/Vis-, ¹H-NMR-spectra and electrophoreses provide insight into the behaviour of the osmiumporphyrinate anions in water.     

Coumarinyl azoimidazolyl complexes of osmium(II) hydridocarbonyls: spectroscopic and structural characterization,oxidation catalysis,photovoltaic effect and density functional theory computation

Os(II) hydridocarbonyl complexes of coumarinyl azoimidazoles, [Osh(CO)(PPh₃)₂(CZ‐4R‐R′)]^0/+ ( 3 , 4 ) (CZ‐R‐H = 2‐(coumarinyl‐6‐azo)‐4‐substituted imidazole or 1‐alkyl‐2‐(coumarinyl‐6‐azo)‐4‐substituted imidazole), were characterized from spectroscopic data and the single‐crystal X‐ray data for one of the complexes, [Osh(CO)(PPh₃)₂(CZ‐4‐Ph)] ( 3c ) (CZ‐4‐Ph = 2‐(coumarinyl‐6‐azo)‐4‐phenylimidazolate), confirmed the structure. The complexes show higher emission (quantum yield ? = 0.0163–0.16) and longer lifetime (τ = 1.4–10.3 ns) than free ligands (? = 0.0012–0.0185 and τ = 0.685–1.306 ns). Cyclic voltammetry shows quasi‐reversible metal oxidation at 0.67–0.94 V for [Os(III)/Os(II)] and 1.21–1.36 V for [Os(IV)/Os(III)] and subsequent azo reductions (?0.68 to ?0.95 V for [? N?N? ]/[? N N? ]^? and irreversible < ?1.2 V for [? N N? ]^?/[? N? N? ]^2?) of the chelated coumarinyl azoimidazole. The complexes are photostable and show better photovoltaic power conversion efficiency than free ligands. Also, the complexes were used as catalysts for the oxidation of primary/secondary alcohols to aldehydes/ketones using oxidizing agents like N‐methylmorpholine N‐oxide, t‐BuOOH and H₂O₂. Density functional theory computation was carried out from the optimized structures and the data obtained were used to interpret the electronic and photovoltaic properties.

Helical racemate architecture based on osmium(II)-polypyridyl complexes: Synthesis and structural characterisation

New polypyridyl osmium(II) complexes [Os(κ³-tptz)(EPh₃)₂Cl]BF₄ (E = P, 1; As, 2) with group 15 donor ligands are reported. Structural studies on the representative complex [Os(κ³-tptz)(PPh₃)₂Cl]BF₄ revealed formation of helical racemates with sidewise stacking of right and left-handed anti-parallel helical strands. Salient structural features and DNA binding studies along with binding constant [6.6 × 10³ M⁻¹] and site size [0.12] of the complex 1 with calf thymus (ct) DNA by absorption spectroscopy are described.     

Darstellung und spektroskopische Charakterisierung von Bindungsisomeren Halogenoselenocyanatoosmaten(IV)

Preparation and Spectroscopic Characterization of Bondisomeric Halogenoselenocyanatoosmates (IV) The new compounds [OsCl₅(NCSe)]^2?, [OsCl₅(SeCN)]^2?, tr.-[OsCl₄(NCSe)(SeCN)]^2?, tr.-[OsCl₄I(NCSe)]^2? and tr.-[OsCl₄I(SeCN)]^2? are prepared from [OsCl₅I]^2? and tr.-[OsCl₄I₂]^2? by oxidative ligand exchange with (SeCN)₂ or by reaction with suspended Pb(SeCN)₂ in CH₂Cl₂ and isolated by ion exchange chromatography on DEAE cellulose. The bondisomers are significantly distinguished by the frequencies of innerligand vibrations: ν_CN(Se), ν_CN(N), ν_CSe(N) > ν_CSe(Se), δ_NCSe >, δ_SeCN. The electronic spectra measured at 10 K on the solid salts exhibit in the region 450–650 nm intensive Se → Os and N → Os charge transfer bands. Essentially weaker intraconfigurational transitions (t) are observed near to 2000 and 1000 nm, splitted by lowered symmetry (C_4v) and spin orbit coupling. Only some of the 0–0-transitions may be assigned by measuring electronic Raman bands with the same frequencies.     

Kinetics and mechanism of Os(VIII)-catalyzed hexacyanoferrate(III) oxidation of α amino acids in alkaline medium

The kinetics of the Os(VIII)-catalyzed oxidation of glycine, alanine, valine, phenylalanine, isoleucine, lycine, and glutamic acid by alkaline hexacyanoferrate(III) reveal that these reactions are zero order in hexacyanoferrate(III) and first order in Os(VIII). The order in amino acid as well as in alkali is 1 at [amino acid] ?2.5 × 10^?2M and [OH^?] ?1.3 × 10^?M, but less than unity at higher concentrations of amino acids or alkali. The active oxidizing species under the experimental conditions is OsO₄(H₂O) (OH)^?. The ferricyanide is merely used up to regenerate the Os(VIII) species from Os(VI) formed during the reaction. The structural influence of amino acids on the reactivity has been discussed. The amino acids during oxidation are shown to be degraded through intermediate keto acids. The kinetic data are accommodated by considering the interaction between the conjugate base of the amino acids and the active oxidizing species of Os(VIII) to form a transient complex in the primary rate-determining step. The catalytic effect of hexacyanoferrate(II) has been rationalized.     

Kristallstrukturen,Schwingungsspektren und Normalkoordinatenanalyse von (n‐Bu4N)2[Os(NCS)6] und (n‐Bu4N)3[Os(NCS)6]

Crystal Structure, Vibrational Spectra, and Normal Coordinate Analysis of ( n ‐Bu₄N)₂[Os(NCS)₆] and ( n ‐Bu₄N)₃[Os(NCS)₆] By tempering the solid mixture of the linkage isomers (n‐Bu₄N)₃[Os(NCS)_n(SCN)_6–n] n = 0–5 for a longer time at temperatures increasing from 60 to 140 °C the homoleptic (n‐Bu₄N)₃[Os(NCS)₆] is formed, which on oxidation with (NH₄)₂[Ce(NO₃)₆] in acetone yields the corresponding Os^IV complex (n‐Bu₄N)₂[Os(NCS)₆]. X‐ray structure determinations on single crystals of (n‐Bu₄N)₂[Os(NCS)₆] (1) (triclinic, space group P 1, a = 12.596(5), b = 12.666(5), c = 16.026(5) Å, α = 88.063(5), β = 80.439(5), γ = 88.637(5)°, Z = 2) and (n‐Bu₄N)₃[Os(NCS)₆] ( 2 ) (cubic, space group Pa 3, a = 24.349(4) Å, Z = 8) have been performed. The nearly linear thiocyanate groups are coordinated with Os–N–C angles of 172.3–177.7°. Based on the molecular parameters of the X‐ray determinations the IR and Raman spectra are assigned by normal coordinate analysis. The valence force constant f_d(OsN) is 2.3 ( 1 ) and 2.10 mdyn/Å ( 2 ).

Spectrum, and Crystal Structure (P(C₆H₅)₄)₂[OsCl₃(NO)(SnCl₃)₂] yields from the reaction of OsCl₃(NO) with PPh₄-[SnCl₃] in dichloro methane forming red crystals. The complex crystallizes monoclinic in the space group C2/c with four formula units per unit cell.

Cl 238 pm), two SnCl₃ groups in transposition to each other (r Os? Sn 265 pm) and the N-atom of the covalently bonded nitrosyl ligand (r Os? N 173 pm). The i.r. spectrum of the anion is reported and assigned.     

Photoinduced Intracrystalline Chemical Changes in Solid [Cr(en)3]2(C2O4)3 · 3 H2O Possibility of the Utilization in Synthesis

In the course of irradiation of polycrystalline [Cr(en)₃]₂(C₂O₄)₃ · 3 H₂O at the LF-excited state wave length substitution of ethylenediamine by the anion presented in the crystal lattice (C₂O₄)^2? occurs and [Cr (en)₂ox][Cren(ox)₂] is formed. Besides products identification spectrophotometric method for the study of the reaction course in the solid state was worked up. Experimental conditions for the utilization of the photosubstitution in solid state in preparative scale were also found.
