Rotational energy transfer in the NO A 2Σ+(v' = 0) state with He and Ar

Rotational energy transfer cross sections are determined for NO (A ²Σ⁺, v' = 0, N' = 0, 7, and 15) +He and NO (A ²Σ⁺, v' = 0, N' = 0) +Ar by the two-color, double-resonance ionization method. Rotational jumps up to ΔN' = 8 take place as a single collision event. The cross sections determined are discussed in terms of the IOS and ECS scaling laws.

Synthesis and polymerization of novel formamidinium salts: A new pathway to polyamides derived from aromatic diamines

A new polycondensation pathway has been developed for the preparation of polyamides at high temperatures. p-Phenylenediamine was converted to N,N-p-phenylene bis(N′,N′-dimethylformamidine) (I), which formed 1–1 and 2–1 salts with terephthalic and adipic acids, respectively: Dicarboxylate salts were polymerizable by heating in bulk or suspension. Low-molecular-weight poly(p-phenyleneterephthalamide) was obtained from N,N-p-phenylene bis(N',N'-dimethylformamidinium) terephthalate above 225°C. The low degree of polymerization was due to terephthalic acid sublimation as well as to the well-known intractability of poly(p-phenyleneterephthalamide). High-viscosity poly(p-phenyleneadipamide) was obtained from N,N-p-phenylene bis(N′,N′-dimethylformamidinum hydrogen adipate) above 200°C. Both salts liberated dimethylformamide (DMF) during polymerization. The adipate salt also released 1 mole of adipic acid during the high-temperature vacuum stage of polymerization. A polycondensation mechanism was proposed for each salt, based on thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA-MS) and infrared (IR) analyses. The hydrolysis of N,N-p-phenylene bis(N',N'-dimethylformamidine), N,N-p-phenylene bis(N',N'-dimethylformamidinium chloride), and the two dicarboxylate salts of (I) was monitored by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) at room temperature. The dihydrochloride salt was most resistant to hydrolysis (k_H 6.9 × 10^?9 sec^?1; relative rate 1.0) followed by (I) 7.1, terephthalate salt, 14.9, and adipate salt, 27.2. Both dicarboxylate salts possessed sufficient hydrolytic stability for use as polycondensation monomers     

Reaction of hydrogen peroxide with low molecular weight iron complexes

Fe(II) complexed with trans-1,2-diaminocyclohexane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid (CDTA) reacts with hydrogen peroxide in neutral aqueous solution at room temperature to yield reactive species which are not scavenged by t-butanol, under conditions where >90% of hydroxyl radical would be scavenged. Further, the ratio of the rate constants for the reaction of the reactive species with Fe(II)CDTA and H₂O₂ is 6.2, in contrast to a ratio of 200 which would result if the species were the hydroxyl radical. Thus, it is concluded that the reactive species produced is not the hydroxyl radical, but an iron-oxo species such as the ferryl ion. The reactive species is formed in an apparent first order reaction, when either hydrogen peroxide or Fe(II)CDTA is in kinetic excess. The bimolecular reaction rate constant is (1.26 ± 0.19) × 10³ M^-1 s^-1. In experiments where H₂O₂ was in kinetic excess, a chain decomposition of H₂O₂ was observed in which the initially produced iron-oxo intermediate exhibits hydroperoxidase activity.

Three new binuclear w -oxalato copper(II) complexes of composition [(Cu(N,N' -dieten) H₂O)₂ox](ClO₄)₂ ·H₂O (1) (N,N'-dieten = N,N'-diethylethylenediamine, H₂ox = oxalic acid), [(Cu(trimeen)H₂O)₂ox](ClO₄)₂·2H₂O (2) (trimeen = N,N,N'-trimethylethylenediamine) and [(Cu(trimeen)H₂O)₂ox](NO₃)₂ ·2H₂O (3) have been isolated from the reactions of Cu(ClO₄)₂ ·6H₂O (or Cu(NO₃)₂ ·3H₂O), the appropriate amine and Na₂ox in water and have been characterized by IR and electronic spectroscopy and magnetic measurements. The crystal structure of [(Cu(N,N' -dieten)H₂O)₂ ox](ClO₄)₂.H₂O (1) has been determined by single-crystal X-ray analysis. The structure of ( 1 ) consists of binuclear cations [(N,N'-dieten)H₂O)Cu(ox)Cu(N,N'-dieten)H₂O)]²⁺, perchlorate anions and water molecules of crystallization. The copper atom is coordinated by two oxygen atoms of the oxalato ligand, two nitrogen atoms belonging to N,N'-dieten and one oxygen atom of water in a distorted square-pyramidal arrangement. The temperature dependence of magnetic susceptibilities (78-293 K) was measured for 1-3 . Magnetochemical measurements show that copper(II) ions in these compounds are antiferromagnetically coupled with J = -172 cm^-1, -172 cm^-1 and -168 cm^-1 (H = -2JS ₁ S ₂, S ₁= S ₂ = 1/2) for 1, 2 and 3, respectively.

Metal complexes of 1,4,10-trioxa-7,13 -diazacyclopentadecane-N,N&#x27;-diacetic acid

The cyclic diaza-crown ether complexone cTOPDA (1,4,10-trioxa-7,13-diaza- cyclopentadecane-N,N'-diacetic acid) has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, titration and NMR spectroscopy. Its ionization constants and the stability constants of its ML and M₂L complexes formed with alkali, alkaline-earth and some transition and representative metals were determined at 25.0±0.1°C and ionic strength 0.10 M (Me₄NNO₃). This ligand forms considerably more stable complexes with the transition metals than the analogous tetraoxa-diaza crown ether complexone cTOODA (1,4,10,13- tetraoxa-7,16-diazacyclooctadecane-N,N'-diacetic acid), but this last ligand favours ions with larger size, particularly K⁺. The cobalt(II) complex of cTOPDA is more stable than the nickel(II) complex, hence the Irving-Williams' order of stability is not obeyed for its transition-metal complexes. These effects are discussed in terms of the size of the cavity of the ligand and of the stereochemical constraints that it may impose.     

The Stabilities and Thermodynamic Properties of Manganese(II) and Nickel(II) Chelates of Trans-1,2-Diaminocyclohexane-N,N, N', N'-Tetraacetic Acid

The interaction between trans-1,2-diaminocyclohexane-N, N, N', N'-tetraacetic acid (H₁DCTA or H₄Z) and Mn(II) and Ni(II) ions has been investigated.

The former was done by a titration technique and the latter by a mercury indicator electrode method. Enthalpy and entropy changes characterizing the formation of the normal chelates have been calculated at 25°C.     

Structure and Fluxional Behavior of Phenylmercury Derivatives of N,N'-Diarylform(benz)amidines

Activation barriers for fast 1,3-N,N' migrations of phenylmercury groups in the corresponding derivatives of N,N'-di(p-tolyl)form(benz)amidines have been calculated by density functional theory B3LYP/Gen, 6-311++G(d,p)/SDD to be ΔE _ZPE ^≠ = 4.5 and 3.0 kcal/mol. The results correspond to the data of dynamic NMR, which have shown the upper limit of activation barriers of these rearrangements (ΔG^≠) to be below 8 kcal/mol. The calculations have shown that the most stable is the E-syn form of N-phenylmercury-N,N'-di(p-tolyl)form(benz)amidines stabilized by supplementary intramolecular coordination of mercury atom with imine nitrogen atom of the amidine triad.     

Studies on the separation treatment of high-level liquid waste by bisamide podand(I): Extraction and separation of An(III) from Ln(III)

A process for actinide(III) and lanthanum(III) extraction separation from high-level liquid waste (HLLW) was proposed, with N,N,N',N'-tetraoctyl diglycolamide (TODGA) as the extractant, tri-n?butyl phosphate (TBP) as the phase modifier and 2,6-bis[1-(propan-1-ol)-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl]pyridine (PyTri-Diol or PTD) as hydrophilic stripping agent. This ‘hot test’ was successfully carried out, achieving 99.92% removal of americium-241 (²⁴¹Am) with a separation factor SF_(Eu/Am) of 3.8 × 10³ in the actinide(III) product solution. The results show that bisamide podand extractants can effectively realize the extraction and separation of actinide(III) and lanthanum(III) from Chinese commercial HLLW and thus have a bright practical application potential for the treatment of commercial HLLW.

New Poly(Bismaleimide-Ether)s Containing Functional Pendant Carboxylic Groups

Abstract

New poly(bismaleimide-ether)s with functional pendant groups were synthesized by Michael addition polymerization of two monomers with functionality f > 2 (DL tartaric acid and methylene-5,5′disalicylic acid) to various bismaleimides with flexible groups (N,N'-4,4′-diphenyl-methanebismaleimide, N,N'-4,4′-diphenyletherbismaleimide and N,N'-4,4′-dibenzylbismaleimide). The polymerization occurred in solution, through the addition of the OH groups to the C[dbnd]C double bond of the maleimide rings. The polymers were obtained in good yields and they were characterized by elemental analysis, IR and ¹H NMR spectra, thermogravimetric analysis and viscozimetry.     

Photoinduced Electron Transfer between N,N, Nr,N' ‐Tetra‐(p‐methylphenyl)‐4, 4‐diamino‐1, 1'‐diphenyl Ether (TPDAE) and Fullerenes (C60/C70) by Laser Flash Photolysis

The photoinduced electron‐transfer reaction of N, N, N', N'‐tetra‐(p‐methylphenyl)‐4,4'‐diamino‐1,1'‐diphenyl ether (TPDAE) and fullerenes (C₆₀/C₇₀) by nanosecond laser flash photolysis occurred in benzonitrile. Transient absorption spectral measurements were carried out during 532 nm laser flash photolysis of a mixture of the fullerenes (C₆₀/C₇₀) and TPDAE.
