Synthesis of 2, 2, 5, 5-tetramethyltetrahydrothiophene

Under the conditions of the Grignard reaction, 2, 5-dimethyl-2, 5-hexanediol has been obtained from diethyl succinate. Under the action of sulfuric acid, the latter has been cyclized to 2, 2, 5, 5-tetramethyl-tetrahydrofuran which, in its turn, by treatment with phosphorus pentasulfide, has given 2, 2, 5, 5-tetramethyltetrahydrothiophene. Its reaction with methyl iodide has given 2, 2, 5, 5-tetramethyltetrahydrothiophene methiodide.     

Zur Kenntnis der Dialkalimetalldichalkogenide β-Na2S2, K2S2, α-Rb2S2, β-Rb2S2, K2Se2, Rb2Se2, α-K2Te2, β-K2Te2 und Rb2Te2

On Dialkali Metal Dichalcogenides β-Na₂S₂, K₂S₂, α-Rb₂S₂, β-Rb₂S₂, K₂Se₂, Rb₂Se₂, α-K₂Te₂, β-K₂Te₂ and Rb₂Te₂ The first presentation of pure samples of α- and β-Rb₂S₂, α- and β-K₂Te₂, and Rb₂Te₂ is described. Using single crystals of K₂S₂ and K₂Se₂, received by ammonothermal synthesis, the structure of the Na₂O₂ type and by using single crystals of β-Na₂S₂ and β-K₂Te₂ the Li₂O₂ type structure will be refined. By combined investigations with temperature-dependent Guinier-, neutron diffraction-, thermal analysis, and Raman-spectroscopy the nature of the monotropic phase transition from the Na₂O₂ type to the Li₂O₂ type will be explained by means of the examples α-/β-Na₂S₂ and α-/β-K₂Te₂. A further case of dimorphic condition as well as the monotropic phase transition of α- and β-Rb₂S₂ is presented. The existing areas of the structure fields of the dialkali metal dichalcogenides are limited by the model of the polar covalence.     

Nouvelle Synthese Des 2-Thioxoethylphosphonates, 2- mercaptovinylphosphonates, 2-Phosphoryl-3-thioxopropanoates, 2-Thiomethylvinylphosphonates, 2-Thioethoxycarbonylmethylvinylphosphonates

The cyanomethylphosphonates 1 and the ethyl phosphoacetates 2 were reacted with some fluorophenylisothiocyanates to give the 2-thioxoethylphosphonates 3 in tautomeric equilibrium with the corresponding 2-mercaptovinylphosphonates 3 ′ and the 2-phosphoryl-3-thioxopropanoates 4 , respectively.

Instrumentation and gas chromatographic details are described and discussed.

     

Syntheses,Crystal Structure,and Properties of Hf2Ni2In,Hf2Ni2Sn,Hf2Cu2In,and Hf2Pd2In with Ordered Zr3Al2 Type Structure

Hf₂Ni₂In, Hf₂Ni₂Sn, Hf₂Cu₂In, and Hf₂Pd₂In were synthesized by reacting the elements in an arc-melting furnace under argon and subsequent annealing at 970 K. They crystallize with an ordered Zr₃Al₂ type structure, space group P4₂/mnm which was refined from single crystal X-ray data for Hf₂Ni₂In (a = 713.9(1) pm, c = 660.4(2) pm, wR2 = 0.0665, 513 F² values) and Hf₂Ni₂Sn (a = 703.1(1) pm, c = 676.1(2) pm, wR2 = 0.0423, 507 F² values) with 18 parameters for each refinement. The lattice constants for Hf₂Cu₂In and Hf₂Pd₂In are a = 715.5(1) pm, c = 677.0(1) pm and a = 742.6(1) pm, c = 679.4(2) pm, respectively. The structures may be considered as an intergrowth of distorted CsCl- and AlB₂-like slabs. Magnetic susceptibility measurements indicate Pauli paramagnetism for Hf₂Ni₂In and Hf₂Ni₂Sn, which is consistent with the metallic conductivity observed for Hf₂Ni₂In. ¹¹⁹Sn Mössbauer spectroscopy of Hf₂Ni₂Sn shows one signal with an isomer shift of δ = 1.59(1) mm/s subjected to quadrupole splitting of δE_q = 0.81(1) mm/s.     

Syntheses,Spectroscopic Studies,and Crystal Structures of Me2Sn(O2PPh2)2, Ph2Pb(O2PMe2)2, and Ph2Pb(O2PPh2)2

Me₂Sn(O₂PPh₂)₂ ( 1 ), Ph₂Pb(O₂PMe₂)₂ ( 2 ), and Ph₂Pb(O₂PPh₂)₂ ( 3 ) have been synthesized by the reactions of Me₂SnCl₂ or Ph₃PbCl with the corresponding diorganophosphinic acid in methanol. X‐ray diffraction studies show that the diorganophosphinate groups behave as double bridges between the metal atoms leading to polymeric ring‐chain structures with M₂O₄P₂ (M = Pb, Sn) eight‐membered rings. The organic groups bonded to the metal atoms are in trans‐position in the resulting octahedral arrangement around the metal atoms. The IR and the mass spectra were reported and discussed.     

CO2 laser-induced decomposition of propan-2-ol,butan-2-ol,pentan-2-ol,pentan-3-ol,and hexan-2-ol

The pulsed CO₂ laser-induced decompositions of propan-2-ol, butan-2-ol, pentan-2-ol, pentan-3-ol, and hexan-2-ol in the gas phase have been investigated. Like ethanol which we examined previously [1] the absorption cross section of propan-2-ol for pulsed 9R14 radiation increases with pressure at low pressures, an effect attributed to rotational hole-filling. In contrast the absorption cross section of butan-2-ol (10R24) has only a small pressure dependence and those of pentan-2-ol (9R26), pentan-3-ol (10R14), and hexan-2-ol (9P20) show little or no variation with pressure in the range 0.1–5.0 torr. Decomposition products have been investigated at low pressure where the excitation of the alkanols was essentially collision free. The observed products for all the alkanols can be rationalized on the basis of primary dehydration and C? C fission channels, with minor contributions from other molecular eliminations. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Trace Element Analysis of USGS Standards AGV2, BCR2, BHVO2, DTS2 and GSP2 by INAA

Five second generation USGS standards AGV2, BCR2, BHVO2, DTS2 and GSP2 were analyzed for trace elements by instrumental neutron activation analysis. Abundances of the rare earth elements La, Ce, Nd, Sm, Eu, Tb, Yb, Lu and eight other elements Co, Cr, Cs, Hf, Na, Sc, Ta and Th were determined in all samples, except for DTS2 which was analyzed only for Co, Cr, Na and Sc. Experimental precision and accuracy were evaluated. In general abundances of trace elements in this new generation of USGS standards are similar to the earlier standards. Abundances of Cr are, however, substantially higher in AGV2, BCR2, GSP2 and especially DTS2.

The confirmation of accurate combination of functional and basis set for transition‐metal dimers: Fe2, Co2, Ni2, Ru2, Rh2, Pd2, Os2, Ir2, and Pt2

Eight kinds of density functionals named B3LYP, PBE1PBE, B1B95, BLYP, BP86, G96PW91, mPWPW91, and SVWN along with two different valence basis sets (LANL2DZ and CEP‐121g) are employed to study the transition‐metal dimers for the elements of group VIII. By comparing the equilibrium bond distances, vibrational frequencies, and dissociation energies of the ground state of these dimers with the available experimental values and theoretical data, we show that the “pure” DFT methods (G96PW91, BLYP, and BP86) with great‐gradient approximation always give better results relative to the hybrid HF/DFT schemes (B3LYP, PBE1PBE, and B1B95). The striking case found by us is that the G96PW91 functional, which is not tested in previous systemic studies, always predicts the dissociation energy to be well. The Ru₂ and Os₂ dimers are sensitive to not only the functionals employed but also the valence basis sets adopted. The natural bond orbital population is analyzed, and the molecular orbitals of the unpaired electrons are determined. Furthermore, our results indicate that the s and d orbitals of these dimers always hybridize with each other except for Rh₂ and Pt₂ molecules. And by analyzing the electron configuration of the bonding atom, the dissociation limit of the ground state is obtained. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Quantum Chem, 2008     

Heterotricyclodecane IX. 2, 7-Dioxa-isotwistan, 2, 7-Dioxatwistan und 2, 8-Dioxa-homotwistbrendan sowie Derivate

The synthesis of 2, 7-dioxa-isotwistane ( 10 ), 2, 7-dioxa-twistane ( 17 ), and 2, 8-dioxa-homotwistbrendane ( 36 ) and several of their derivatives is described starting from endo-2-hydroxy-9-oxabicyclo[3.3.1]non-6-ene ( 1 ). The 10^O(7)-isotwistane iodide 7 and the corresponding tosylate 15 as well as the 10^O(2)-iodide 9 were treated under reaction conditions suitable for molecular rearrangements involving oxonium ions g and i , respectively, by neighbouring group participation leading to 2, 7-dioxa-twistanes and 2, 8-dioxa-homotwistbrendanes, respectively.     

Structure and properties of single crystalline CaMg2Bi2, EuMg2Bi2, and YbMg2Bi2

Single crystals of CaMg(2)Bi(2), EuMg(2)Bi(2), and YbMg(2)Bi(2) were obtained from a Mg-Bi flux cooled to 650 °C. These materials crystallize in the CaAl(2)Si(2) structure-type (P ?3m1, No. 164), and crystal structures are reported from refinements of single crystal and powder X-ray diffraction data. EuMg(2)Bi(2) displays an antiferromagnetic transition near 7 K, which is observed via electrical resistivity, magnetization, and specific heat capacity measurements. Magnetization measurements on YbMg(2)Bi(2) reveal a weak diamagnetic moment consistent with divalent Yb. Despite charge-balanced empirical formulas, all three compounds are p-type conductors with Hall carrier concentrations of 2.0(3) × 10(19) cm(-3) for CaMg(2)Bi(2), 1.7(1) × 10(19) cm(-3) for EuMg(2)Bi(2), and 4.6(7) × 10(19) cm(-3) for YbMg(2)Bi(2), which are independent of temperature to 5 K. The electrical resistivity decreases with decreasing temperature and the resistivity ratios ρ(300 K)/ρ(10 K) ≤ 1.6 in all cases, indicating significant defect scattering.

(M?Ga, In; X?P, As) isosteric with SiS₂ The title compounds are synthesized from stoichiometric mixtures of the elements or from Na, KP(KAs), Cs₄P₆ and MX (M?Ga, In; X?P, As) at 950K. They are isotypic and crystallize in the space group Ibam (No. 72) with Z=4. The anionic partial structure is characterized by infinite chains [MX_4/2]^3? which are isosteric to SiS₂. Vibrational spectra are measured and interpreted based on the symmetry D_4h-P(2/m 2/c)4₂/m of the isolated polymer chain [MX₂]^3?. A good agreement between observed and calculated frequencies is obtained by using a force field of the tetrameric fragment [M₄X₁₀]^18? (three four-membered M₂X₂ rings).     

Skin Bond Electron Relaxation Dynamics of Germanium Manipulated by Interactions with H2, O2, H2O,H2O2, HF,and Au

Although germanium performs amazingly well at sites surrounding hetero‐coordinated impurities and under‐coordinated defects or skins with unusual properties, having important impact on electronic and optical devices, understanding the behavior of the local bonds and electrons at such sites remains a great challenge. Here we show that a combination of density functional theory calculations, zone‐resolved X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and bond order length strength correlation mechanism has enabled us to clarify the physical origin of the Ge 3d core‐level shift for the under‐coordinated (111) and (100) skin with and without hetero‐coordinated H₂, O₂, H₂O, H₂O₂, HF impurities. The Ge 3d level shifts from 27.579 (for an isolated atom) by 1.381 to 28.960 eV upon bulk formation. Atomic under‐coordination shifts the binding energy further to 29.823 eV for the (001) and to 29.713 eV for the (111) monolayer skin. Addition of O₂, HF, H₂O, H₂O₂ and Au impurities results in quantum entrapment by different amounts, but H adsorption leads to polarization.
