Substituent dependence of the d-d transition band in the electronic absorption spectra of arylferrocenes and the corresponding arylferricenium salts

The electronic absorption spectra of 22 arylferrocenes and their arylferricenium salts with pentacyanopropenide (PCNP) were recorded. The attemptedHammett correlation of _max of the d-d transition bands of arylferrocenes revealed that this band is substituent dependent only for strong electron-withdrawing substituents. Excellent correlation of _max of the d-d transition bands with ⁺ constants was found in the case of arylferricenium cations. Good correlations of _max was also found with theE _1/2 oxidation potentials measured by cyclic voltametry.

Substituentenabhängigkeit des d-d-Überganges in den Elektronenabsorptions-Spektren von Arylferrocenen und entsprechenden Arylferricenium-Salzen

Zusammenfassung Elektronenabsorptions-Spektren von 22 Arylferrocenen und ihren Arylferricenium-Pentacyanopropenid-Salzen wurden gemessen. VersuchteHammett-Korrelationen des längstwelligen d-d-Überganges (_max) zeigten, daß diese Bande nur von stark elektronenanziehende Substituenten abhängig ist. Im Fall der Arylferricenium-Kationen wurde eine ausgezeichnete Korrelation zwischen _max der d-d-Bande und den ⁺-Konstanten festgestellt. Eine gute Korrelation der _max-Werte wurde auch mit denE _1/2 Oxidationspotentialen gefunden, die durch cyclische Voltametrie meßbar sind.

     

Ein Ger?t zur h?chstempfindlichen Differentialspektrophotometrie mit dem Rapidspektroskop

Zusammenfassung Eine Methode zur Differentialspektrophotometrie durch Modulation eines Monochromators wird beschrieben. Der Monochromator oscilliert mit variabler Bandbreite zwischen ₁ und ( ₁+). Wenn ( ₁+) die Wellenlänge des Absorptionsmaximums ist, erscheint am Photo multiplierausgang einer Sinuswelle, deren Amplitude der Extinktions differenz zwischen ¹ und ( ₁+) proportional ist. Die Schaltung zur ultralinearen Messung dieser Amplitude ist angegeben und ihre Anwendung mit dem Zweistrahlphotometer Rapidspektroskop gezeigt. Die Empfindlichkeit wird durch die Kombination um den Faktor 10 bis 100 gesteigert. Der Rauschpegel ist bei der Monochromator-Modulationstechnik etwa 10^–4 E.Das Differentialspektrum stellt die erste Ableitung eines Spektrums dar und gestattet die genauere Lokalisation von Schultern in steilen Flanken eines Spektrums. Die Kombination der beschriebenen Methode mit der Technik des Rapidspektroskops erlaubt es, dasselbe mit gleichem Erfolg wie ein Dual-Wavelength-Gerät einzusetzen.

Summary A method for differential spectrophotometry by modulation of a single monochromator is described. A single monochromator oscillates with variable bandwidth between ₁ and ( ₁+ ). If ( ₁ + ) is the wavelength at maximal optical density, the photomultiplier output gives a sinus-wave, the amplitude of which is proportional to the optical density difference between ₁ and ( ₁+). The circuit for ultralinear measurement of this amplitude is described and details of its application with the split-beam spectrophotometer Rapidspektroskop are given. The sensitivity of the entire assembly is increased by a factor of between ten and one hundred. The noise level of the monochromator-modulated technique is about 10^–4 optical density units. The differential spectrum represents the first derivative of a spectrum and allows one to determine more exactly the location of shoulders in the slope of a spectrum.The combination of the described method with the techniques of the Rapid spektroskop thus provides facilities which equal those of a dual-wavelength apparatus.

     

The phenomenon of conglomerate crystallization. XX. Spontaneous resolution in coordination compounds. XVIII.

The title compound, [cis-Co(en)₂(NO₂)₂](NO₂) (1), crystallizes in the polar, nonenantiomorphic, monoclinic space group, Cc, with lattice constants:a=9.198(2) Å,b=12.444(2),c=9.963(3), and=96.76(2)°;V=1132.39 ų andd(calc;Z=4) =1.860 g cm^–3. Thus, with NO_2– as the counteranion, [cis-Co(en)₂(NO₂)₂] crystallizes in a heterochiral lattice containing racemic pairs of cations. A total of 2699 data were collected over the range of 4°270°; of these, 1859 (independent and withI3(I)) were used in the structural analysis. Data were corrected for absorption (=15.465 cm^–1) and the relative transmission coefficients ranged from 0.9934 to 0.7112. Refinement was carried out for both lattice polarities and the finalR(F) andR _w (F) residuals were, respectively, 0.0242 and 0.0202 for (–––) and 0.0264 and 0.0243 for (+++). Thus, the former was selected as correct for our specimen.Unlike all previous X-ray diffraction studies of the structural properties of the cation [cis-Co(en)₂(NO₂)₂]⁺, which are found to have a pair of oppositely configured en rings [i.e., () or ()], we find that in1 the cations are in the lowest energy conformation and configuration; i.e., () or (). We attribute this change in configuration to the formation of strong interionic hydrogen bonds between nitrite anion oxygens and the axial—NH₂ hydrogens, which markedly weaken the intermolecular and intramolecular hydrogen bonds between ligand—NO₂ oxygens and the hydrogens of those same amine moieties. Thus, the nitrite anions behave exactly as nitrate anions, except that the hydrogen bonds found here are stronger than those formed by the latter. This is as expected since the negative charge is delocalized over two, instead of three, oxygens.     

Pressure and temperature effects on the excess deuteron and proton conductance

The limiting molar conductances ° of deuterium chloride DCl in D₂O were determined as a function of pressure and temperature in order to examine the proton-jump mechanism in detail. The excess deuteron conductances °_E(D ⁺), as estimated by the equation [°_E(D ⁺) = °(DCl/D ₂ O) – °(KCl/D ₂ O)], increases with an increase in the pressure and temperature as well as the excess proton conductance [°_E(H ⁺) = °(HCl/H ₂ O) – °(KCl/H ₂ O)]. The isotope effect on the excess conductances, however, depends on the pressure and temperature contrary to the model proposed by Conway et al.: °_E(H ⁺)/°_E(D ⁺) decreases with increasing pressure and temperature. The magnitude of the decrease with pressure becomes more prominent at lower temperature. These results are discussed in terms of the pre-rotation of adjacent water molecules, the bending of hydrogen bonds with pressure, and the difference in strength of hydrogen bonds between D₂O and H₂O.

Unicyclic Graphs with Minimal Energy

If G is a graph and ₁,₂,..., _n are its eigenvalues, then the energy of G is defined as E(G)=|₁|+|₂|++| _n |. Let S _n ³ be the graph obtained from the star graph with n vertices by adding an edge. In this paper we prove that S _n ³ is the unique minimal energy graph among all unicyclic graphs with n vertices (n6).     

The kinetic energy components of LCAO-molecular orbitals: A comment on the “Electron-in-a-Box”-“LCAO-MO-Model” analogy

In many textbooks attention is drawn to the close analogy that seems to exist between the Electron-in-a-Box-wave functions _n and their LCAO-MO counterparts _J (J = n) for the movement of an electron in a -system. It is often implied that the wave lengths of _n and of _J (J = n) which satisfy to a high degree the relation =, have the same physical meaning. It is shown that this is not the case. for a linear system (e.g. a one-dimensional Electron-in-a-Box-model) is directly connected with the momentum of the electron and therefore with its kinetic energy according to the deBroglie relation. However, there is no such simple relationship between A and the corresponding kinetic energy component in LCAO-MO's _J . (The necessary two-center kinetic energy integrals have been computed for 1s-type atomic orbitals.)

Zusammenfassung In vielen elementaren Textbüchern wird die Aufmerksamkeit auf die scheinbar enge Verwandtschaft hingelenkt, die zwischen den Wellenfunktionen _n für ein Electron-in-a-Box-Modell und den entsprechenden LCAO-MOs _J (J=n) für die Bewegung eines Elektrons in einem -System besteht. Unter anderem wird oft implizit angenommen, daß die Wellenlängen der Funktion _n und von _J (J=n), die weitgehend der Bedingung = genügen, die gleiche physikalische Bedeutung haben. In dieser Arbeit wird gezeigt, daß dies nicht der Fall ist. Für ein lineares System (z. B. ein eindimensionales Electron-in-a-Box-Modell) ist über die deBroglie'sche Beziehung direkt mit dem Impuls und damit mit der kinetischen Energie des Elektrons verknüpft. Im Gegensatz dazu existiert keine einfache Beziehung zwischen und der entsprechenden Komponenten der kinetischen Energie in einem LCAO-MO _J . (Die notwendigen Zweizentrenintegrale der kinetischen Energie wurden für Atomorbitale vom 1s-Typus berechnet.)

Résumé Dans les textes élémentaires de chimie théorique on attire souvent l'attention sur l'analogie qui semble exister entre les fonctions d'onde _n pour un modèle «Electron-in-a-Box» et les fonctions correspondantes LCAO-MO _J (J=n) décrivant le mouvement d'un électron dans un système . En particulier cette comparaison implique que les «longueurs d'onde» de _n et de _J (J=n), qui satisfont pratiquement la relation =, ont la même signification physique. Dans ce travail on montre, que ceci n'est pas le cas. Pour un système linéaire (c.à.d. un modèle linéaire du type «Electron-in-a-Box») est reliée directement à la quantité de mouvement et par là à l'énergie cinétique, par la relation de deBroglie. Par contre on ne trouve pas une dépendance analogue entre et la composante correspondante de l'énergie cinétique dans une orbitale moléculaire LCAO _J. (Les intégrales bicentriques pour les composantes d'énergie cinétique nécessaires à ce calcul ont été déterminées pour des orbitales atomiques du type 1s.)

     

Free energies of transfer of alkali halides from water to urea-water mixtures at 25°C from EMF measurements

The standard potentials_s E ^o of M/M⁺ (M=Li, Na, K, Rb, and Cs) electrodes in aqueous urea solutions containing 12, 20, 30 and 37% by weight of urea have been determined at 25°C from emf measurements on the cell M(Hg)/MCl (m), solvent/AgCl–Ag, from the activities of metals in amalgams by use of a similar type of cell in water, and from the values of_s E ^o of the Ag/AgCl electrode determined earlier. The standard free energies of transfer of MCl, G _t ^o (MCl), from water to the mixed solvents, computed by use of these values and those for the Ag–AgCl electrode, rise sharply from Li⁺ to Na⁺ but fall from Na⁺ to K⁺ and rather sharply from K⁺ to Cs⁺ with a maximum at Na⁺ in all the solvent compositions. This has been attributed to the superimposition of soft-soft interactions on the electrostatic interactions between the ions and the negative charge centers of the possible hydrogen-bonded solvent complexes in the mixed solvents. Comparison of G _t ^o (i) values for individual ions, obtained by a simultaneous extrapolation procedure, with those in aqueous mixtures of methanol,t-butanol, and dimethyl sulfoxide leads to the conclusion that the solvation of these ions in all these solvents is chiefly dictated by the acid-base type of ion-solvent interactions.     

Crystal Structure of NH4NaTiF6and Internal Mobility of the Complex Anions

Single crystals of NH₄NaTiF₆are studied by X-ray diffraction analysis (automated diffractometer, MoK radiation, graphite monochromator, sin/ 1.0 Å^–1, 1566 reflections with I> 3(I), anisotropic least squares method to R= 0.045 and R _w= 0.040). The compound belongs to the NaRbSnF₆structural type. The types of internal motions of the complex ions NH₄ ⁺and TiF₆ ^2–are determined in the temperature range 200–500 K and compared with the motion of ionic groups in (NH₄)₂TiF₆and Na₂TiF₆crystals.     

Thermodynamic characteristics of solvation of individual ions in ethanol at −50 to 55°C

Experimentally determined are the enthalpies of solution of 12 electrolytes (LiBr, LiI, NaBr, NaI, NaBPh₄, Et₄NCl, Et₄NBr, Pr₄Br, Bu₄NBr, Am₄NBr, Ph₄PCl, Ph₄PBr) in ethanol at –50 to 55°C. _sH^o values obtained on the basis of four different extrapolation equations are analyzed. The effect of temperature changes on the thermodynamic parameters of solvation indindividual ions are calculated using thermodynamic data for the salt crystals (lattice) with the assumption that _solvC _p ^o (Ph₄P⁺)=_solvC _p ^o (Ph₄P^-).     

The conductivity of dilute aqueous solutions of magnesium chloride at 25°C

There is a disagreement in the literature regarding the best value of _o[1/2MgCl₂]. For this reason, the conductivity of dilute aqueous MgCl₂ solutions have been determined at 25°C. The new experimental data and those available in the literature have been analyzed with two theoretical treatments of electrolytic conductivity. On the basis of that analysis, the values 129.72±0.05 and 53.40±0.05 S-cm²-mol^–1 for _o[1/2MgCl₂] and _o[1/2Mg²⁺], respectively, are recommended.     

Optisch aktive,aromatische Spirane, 11. Mitt.: Synthese optisch aktiver mono- bis heptasubstituierter 5-Methyl- und 5-Ethyl-2,2′-spirobiindane und analoger Naphthalinderivate bekannter Chiralität und enantiomerer Reinheit

Starting from optically active 5,5-dimethyl, diethyl, and 5-ethyl-5-methyl-2,2-spirobiindane as well as from 5-ethyl-spirobiindane-5-carboxylic ester of known enantiomeric purity and configuration 75 mono to polysubstituted 2,2-spirobiindanes have been prepared. Amongst these are several compounds with rings anellated in the 6,7 (and 6, 7) positions, especially a spirohydrocarbon4 x with orthogonal naphthalene units the circular dichroism of which is reported and discussed.Several mono and disubstituted 5-methyl and ethylindanes (1,2) have been prepared as models for synthetic transformations in the spirobiindane series.From the molar rotations of symmetrically diacylated 5,5-dimethyl and diethyl spirobiindanes (4a, 7b, 7c) empirical ligand parameters for acetyl and methoxycarbonyl were determined which gave much better results in the calculation of the rotations of appropriate spirobiindanes (with the shortened polynomal Ansatz) than the -values deduced previously from 5,5-disubstituted spirobiindanes. The significance of these results is briefly discussed.

Excited Π states of divinyl chalcogenides and chalcophenes

Electron transitions in divinyl chalcogenides (CH₂=CHXCH=CH₂, where X is S, Se, or Te) have been analyzed using UV absorption spectra of dialkyl and alkyl vinyl chalcogenides. The following relations for the orbital energies are found: ^* < ^* < ^* < ^* for Te and ^* < ^* < ^* < ^* for S and Se. For chalcophenes, a correlation between the energy of the excited state (E ^*) of specific symmetry, the ionization potential (I) and the electron affinity (EA) is obtained:E ^*=const+(I+EA)/2. The electron affinity of divinyl chalcogenides is estimated. The correlation between the excited ^* states of divinyl chalcogenides and chalcophenes is discussed.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 5, pp. 831–835, May, 1994.

Principal vectors of crystallographic groups and applications

For a crystallographic group acting on ann-dimensional Euclidean space we consider the -invariant linear elliptic differential operatorP with constant coefficients and to it the -automorphic eigenvalue problemP [] + = 0. N() is the number of all eigenvalues smaller than or equal to the frequency bound ^q (q: order ofP). Earlier we found the asymptotic estimationN() c₀ · ⁿ + c₁ · ^n–1 (c ₀,c ₁: certain volumina). Furthermore,N() was interpreted as the number of so-called principal classes of principal lattice vectors within a convex domain. In this paper we demonstrate these results for the casen = 2 for two representative crystallographic groups and the assigned lattices. Above all we demonstrate a counting method for an exact estimation ofN() if a is not too big. In an analogous way we can treat all the 230 space groups of crystallography. It will be seen that these applications are brought about by the so-called principal vectors of these lattices.     

Photoinduced Acylotropic Rearrangement of Crown-Containing 2-[N-Acetyl-N-(4-aminobenzo-15-crown-5)methylene]-2,3-dihydrobenzo[b]thiophen-3-one

2-N-(4-Aminobenzo-15-crown-5)methylene-2,3-dihydrobenzo[b]thiophen-3-one and its acetyl derivative were synthesized. Their treatment with lithium, sodium, or potassium iodide in acetonitrile solution leads to formation of the corresponding crown-metal complexes. Irradiation of the acylated compounds at 436 nm induces NO migration of the acetyl group to give O-acyl isomer which is characterized by a considerable blue shift of the long-wave absorption band ( = 70 nm). The quantum yields of the photo- induced acylotropic reaction for the free ligand and its complexes with alkali metal cations change in the series: _L > K⁺ > Na⁺ > Li⁺.     

Simultaneous determination of yohimbine and boldine by first-derivative synchronous spectrofluorimetry

A method for the simultaneous determination of yohimbine and boldine in mixtures by first-derivative synchronous spectrofluorimetry has been developed. The method is based on their native fluorescence in 0.1N sulphuric acid medium. The constant wavelength difference chosen to optimize the determination was =_em -_em=82 nm. Yohimbine was measured at _ex//_em= 285/367 nm, and boldine at _ex/_em=272/354 nm. The range of application is 10–500 g/l for yohimbine and 1–50 g/l for boldine. The method was applied to the determination of yohimbine and boldine in synthetic mixtures and pharmaceuticals, with errors generally 2%. Relative standard deviations were about 2%.Dedicated to Professor Fermin Capitán on his 72th birthday     

Synthese von Metallkomplexen des Tetra-(2,3-anthra)-tetraazaporphins und Vergleich ihrer Elektronenabsorptionsspektren mit denen anderer anellierter Tetraazaporphinsysteme

Copper, nickel and aluminium derivatives of tetra-2,3-anthratetraazaporphin bearing different substituents in the anthracen part have been prepared. The absorption spectra of these substances in different solvents are given and compared with metal complexes of other linearly annellated tetraazaporphins. In the series of vanadyl complexes of tetraazaporphin (_max 597 nm), tetra-[1,2-(4-tert-butyl)-benzo]-tetraazaporphin (_max 698 nm), tetra-[2,3-(6-tert-butyl)-naphtho]-tetraazaporphin (_max 807 nm), tetra-2,3-(anthra)-tetraazaporphin (_max 932 nm), tetra-2,3-(tetraceno)-tetraazaporphin (_max 1055 nm), the absorption maxima of the Q-band are shifted per annellated benzene ring about 100 nm to longer wave lengths.

     

A turbidity study of particle interaction in latex suspensions

A turbidimetric analysis of particle interaction in latex suspensions is given. The turbidity measured at different wavelengths can be rendered by the product of an integrated form factorQ(²) and a suitably defined integrated structure factorZ(²,c). This factorization rests on the expansion of the form factor of the particlesP(q) and the structure factorS(q) [q=(4/)sin(/2); : scattering angle] of the system in even powers ofq. The accuracy of this approximation has been shown by calculating the turbidity for a system of hard spheres in terms of the Percus-Yevick structure factor by numerical integration. Also, the effect of polydispersity has been taken into account within the frame of Percus-Yevick-Vrij theory for non-uniform hard spheres. It is shown that the influence of small polydispersity (standard deviation below 8%) is within experimental uncertainty. The method is applied to precise UV-spectra (400800 nm) obtained from a polystyrene latex with a diameter of 77.4 nm. The integrated structure factorZ(²,c) obtained experimentally can be interpreted in terms of an effective diameter of interaction giving a measure for the strength of electrostatic interaction.
