Reactions of C2(a 3πu) with CH4, C2H2, C2H4, C2H6, and O2 using multiphoton UV excimer laser photolysis

C₂(a ³π_u) disappearance rate constants of 1.44, 0.96, 0.0296, 0.0130 and < 10^?6(x10^?10cm³s^?1) are reported for reactions with C₂H₄, C₂H₂, O₂, C₂H₆, and CH₄, respectively at 298 K. C₂(a ³π_u) fragments are generated by multiphoton ArF excimer laser photodissociation at C₂H₂, and monitored by dye laser induced fluorescence. Arguments are presented which favor chemical reactions over the C₂(a ³π_u) → (X ¹σ⁺_g) quenching channel. C₂ + C₂H₂ represents the one possible exception to the reactive channel.

Pentamethylated derivatives of [60]fullerene: X-ray structure of the C60Me5H and ESR spectroscopy evidence for the stable radical C60Me5

Single-crystal X-ray study of 6,9,12,15,18-pentamethyl-1,6,9,12,15,18-hexahydro(C₆₀-I_h)[5,6]fullerene (C₆₀Me₅H) has been reported. In crystal packing, the stacking self-organization of molecules is realized. It is concluded that the formation of such polar columns is a general rule for crystals of C₆₀R₅H independent of the nature of the R group. An ESR spectrum of the stable fullerenyl radical of the cyclopentadienyl-type, C₆₀Me₅, was observed in a sample of the pentamethylated[60]fullerene. Rotation of methyl groups around C-C bonds is restricted on the ESR scale time and therefore protons within each methyl group are non-equivalent.     

The hydrogenolysis of C60 and C70

Temperature-programmed reaction (TPR) of C₆₀ and C₇₀ with H₂ was carried out on nickel in order to investigate the thermal stability of the fullerenes in the catalytic hydrogenation. The TPR profiles showed two methanation peaks and the corresponding weight decrease above 420°C, indicating the hydrogenolysis to CH₄. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Total syntheses and absolute stereochemistry of decarestrictines C1 and C2

The total syntheses of decarestrictines C₁ and C₂ have been described. The synthetic strategy involves a practical and flexible approach using esterification and ring-closing metathesis to unite the acid and alcohol fragments. The acid fragments are enantiomers of each other and have been prepared from l-(−)-malic acid via similar transformations; in Sharpless asymmetric epoxidation, (+)-DET has been used for decarestrictine C₁ and (−)-DET for decarestrictine C₂. The alcohol fragment is identical for both decarestrictines C₁ and C₂ and has been accessed from d-(+)-mannitol. Comparison of the ¹H and ¹³C NMR data combined with the computational studies predicts the presence of two conformations without and with hydrogen bonding (conformational isomers I and II for decarestrictine C₁), respectively. The ¹H and ¹³C NMR data for decarestrictine C₂ completely agreed with the analytical data reported by Kibayashi et al.

The reduction of 2 by Mg in THF lead to (η⁵-C₉H₅(SiMe₃)₂)[η⁵:η²(C,N)-C₅Me₄CH₂CH₂N(Me)CH₂]ZrH (7). The structure of 7 was proved by NMR spectroscopy data. Hydrolysis of 2 resulted in the binuclear complex ([C₅Me₄CH₂CH₂NMe₂]ZrCl₂)₂O (6). The crystal structures of 1 and 6 were established by X-ray diffraction analysis.     

Synthesis and crystal structure of Ir(C2H4)2(C5H7O2)

We report a new synthesis and characterization of Ir(C₂H₄)₂(C₅H₇O₂) [(acetylacetonato)-bis(η²-ethene)iridium(I)], prepared from (NH₄)₃IrCl₆ · H₂O in a yield of about 45%. The compound has been characterized by X-ray diffraction crystallography, infrared, Raman, and NMR spectroscopies and calculations at the level of density functional theory. Ir(C₂H₄)₂(C₅H₇O₂) is isostructural with Rh(C₂H₄)₂(C₅H₇O₂), but there is a substantial difference in the ethylene binding energies, with Ir-ethylene having a stronger interaction than Rh-ethylene; two ethylenes are bound to Ir with a binding energy of 94 kcal/mol and to Rh with a binding energy of 70 kcal/mol.     

Tieftemperatur-flüssigphase-fluorierung von (C6F5)2Te: Bildung von (C6F5)2TeF2, (C6F5)2TeF4 und (C6F11)2TeF4 [1]

(C₆F₅)₂Te reacts with elemental fluorine step by step to form the tellurium fluorides (C₆F₅)₂TeF₂, (C₆F₅)₂TeF₄ and (C₆F₁₁)₂TeF₄, which can be isolated in pure states. The intermediates (C₆F_11?2n)₂TeF₄ (n = 1,2) are detected spectroscopically. (C₆F₅)₂TeF₂ is also formed from the reaction of (C₆F₅)₂Te with XeF₂.

A new method for the preparation of bis(perfluoroorgano) zinc compounds is described: CF₃I and C₆F₅I react with dialkylzinc in the presence of a Lewis base quantitatively to give (CF₃)₂Zn and (C₆F₅)₂Zn complexes, while the analogous reactions with C₂F₅I and iC₃F₇I do not yield the pure compounds. ¹H, ¹⁹F n.m.r, i.r. and Raman spectra are presented.     

Electrorheological properties and structure of (BaTiO(C2O4)2/NH2CONH2)

The core-shell structural (BaTiO(C₂O₄)₂/NH₂CONH₂) samples of giant electrorheological (ER) activity have been synthesized by a sol-gel method and studied by TEM, X-ray diffraction and IR spectroscopy. From the analysis of the X-ray diffraction, it is found that the component of samples is (BaTiO(C₂O₄)₂/NH₂CONH₂) with a different content of urea. The observations of the TEM morphology show that (BaTiO(C₂O₄)₂/NH₂CONH₂) particles are spheral with a size of around 80 nm and a surface coating with 5-10 nm thickness consisting of urea. The samples show an increasing tend of ER effect as the addition of urea increasing. Moreover, by IR spectroscopy study, it is revealed that some peaks of CO band and C-O band vibrations of BaTiO(C₂O₄)₂ are split into two peaks after urea added. The extent of the splits increase with the increase of urea content, which is resulted by the interaction between the chemical bonds of urea and oxalate of BaTiO(C₂O₄)₂. It is evident that the giant ER activity of the sample has a close relationship with the interfacial polarization between the core and the shell of (BaTiO(C₂O₄)₂/NH₂CONH₂).

The reaction of [60]fullerene with primary aliphatic alcohols (ROH, R = Et, Me, Pr) mediated by cerium(IV) ammonium nitrate [(NH₄)₂Ce(NO₃)₃] affords the corresponding alkoxy-derivatives with a hydroxy group, C₆₀(OR)_x(OH) (x = 3, 4) in high yield. The reaction is characterized by a free radical mechanism confirmed by an EPR study of the alkoxy fullerenyl radical (g = 2.0023).

According to the ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra, the cyclopentadienyl and pentamethylcyclopentadienylgold compounds are fluxional in solution. The X-ray crystal structure of C₅H₅AuPPr₃ⁱ has been determined at ?120°C. The gold atom is in a linear arrangement (PAuC(1) = 177.0(2)°) and primarily σ-bonded to the cyclopentadienyl ring which shows a weak “slip distortion” toward a η³-mode of coordination. The complexes C₅R′₅AuPR₃ (R′ = H, Me) and C₅Me₅CuPPr₃ⁱ react with 1-alkynes such as C₂H₂, HC₂Ph and HC₂CO₂Me to form alkinylgold and copper compounds R″C₂MPR₃. They have been characterized by IR, UV and NMR (¹H, ¹³C, ³¹P) spectroscopy.     

Synthesis and study of (CN3H6)2[(UO2)2(C2O4)(SeO3)2] by IR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction

Single crystals of (CN₃H₆)₂[(UO₂)₂(C₂O₄)(SeO₃)₂] were synthesized and studied by IR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. The compound crystallizes in the triclinic system with the unit cell parameters a = 7.1169(12) ?, b = 7.4874(10) ?, c = 8.9748(14) ?, α = 88.243(6)°, β = 74.546(6)°, γ = 81.445(6)°, space group P[`1]P\bar 1, Z = 1, R = 0.0304. The main structural units of the crystals are layers of the [(UO₂)₂(C₂O₄)(SeO₃)₂]²⁻ composition; the layers belong to the crystal chemical group A ₂ K ⁰² T ₂³ (A = UO₂²⁺ K ⁰² = C₂O₄²⁻, T ³ = SeO₃^–) of uranyl complexes. Uranium-containing complex groups are linked by electrostatic interactions and a network of hydrogen bonds with CN₃H₆⁺ guanidinium ions to form a three-dimensional framework.     

Evidence for the distortion of C2H4 and C2H2 chemisorbed on W(100)

The adsorption of C₂H₄ on W(100) has been studied by ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy with hν = 21.22 eV. The spectrum measured after in initial saturation exposure at 80 K exhibits structure which correlates well with energy levels recently calculated by Demuth and Eastman (DE) for sp³ rehybridized C₂H₄. Dehydrogenation of the adsorbate, either by subsequent heating to 295 K or direct adsorption at 295 K, yields a spectrum which correlates with DE's calculation for sp² rehybridized C₂H₂. These results suggest that C₂H₄ and C₂H₂ may be distorted from their planar and linear structures respectively and that the CC bonds on these molecules are stretched by adsorption on W(100). Qualitative arguments suggest that the bonding site for both melecules is directly over a W atom and that the Dewar—Chatt model for πd bonding in organometallic compounds is applicable.
