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.

     

Solvation of ions. Part XXIX. Ionic conductances in acetonitrile-water and pyridine-water mixtures

The limiting conductance of various salts of Na⁺, Ag⁺, Cu⁺, Cu²⁺ and Ph₄As⁺ in acetonitrile-water (AN-H₂O) and pyridine-water (Py–H₂O) mixtures are reported. Single ion values are calculated for AN-H₂O mixtures using the TATB assumption [_o(Ph ₄ As ⁺) = _o(Ph ₄ B ^–)]. The trends observed for the limiting Walden products (_o) of the electrolytes and individual ions are discussed in terms of specific ion-solvent interactions and the structural effects of the solvent mixtures.Deceased, August 30, 1982.     

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.     

Interpreting magic-number and evaporation effects in cluster size distributions

The Smoluchowski equations describe the coalescence of clusters to form larger clusters. If the kernels or rate constants in these equations are homogeneous, meaning thatK _{j, k} = ² K _jk (wherej andk are cluster sizes), it can be shown that the populationsn _k approachAk ^a e - ^bk for largek and large time, where the constantsa andb depend on the homogeneity parameter. Deviations of observed populations from this formula may be ascribed to magic-number and/or evaporation effects on the kernels. By integrating the Smoluchowski equations numerically for various choices of the kernels, we derive population distributions and show the effects of magic-number clusters and evaporation on the population distribution. Various methods are used to extract the value of, in order to determine the best way to extract the underlying value of from experimental data. Experimental populations for sodium metal clusters are then analyzed according to the same procedure, to extract the homogeneity parameter and explain the patterns in the population distribution.     

Fluordiazadiphosphetidine, 23. Mitt.: Die Herstellung neuer unsymmetrisch substituierter Fluordiazadiphosphetidine

Summary Using 1-chloromethyl-2,2,2,4,4,4-hexafluoro-3-methyl-1,3,2⁵,4⁵-diazadiphosphetidine as starting material for nucleophilic reactions, the following new compounds were prepared: 2,2,2,4,4-pentafluoro-4-methoxy-1-propyl-3-methyl-1,3,2⁵,4⁵-diazadiphosphetidine, 1-benzyl-2,2,2,4,4-pentafluoro-4-methoxy-3-methyl-1,3,2⁵,4⁵-diazadiphosphetidine, and 1-benzyl-2,2,2,4,4-pentafluoro-4-methylamino-3-methyl-1,3,2⁵,4⁵-diazadiphosphetidine

     

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.     

Mechanism of the monomolecular thermal decomposition of 1,5- and 2,5-disubstituted tetrazoles

The kinetic parameters of the thermal decomposition of several pairs of 1(2)-R-5-R-disubstituted tetrazoles have been determined using the manometric method. The isomers differ only by the position of the substituents linked with the heterocyclic nitrogen atom. The activation entropies are equal to ca. +8 cal mol^–1 K^–1, the activation energies range from 39 to 48 kcal mol^–1. A linear correlation between the logarithms of the rate constants of decomposition of the isomers has been established. The limiting stages of the stepwise mechanism of the monomolecular decomposition, which determines the experimental rates of nitrogen evolution, include the reversible formation followed by decomposition of intermediate azidoazomethines in the case of 1,5-disubstituted tetrazoles and azodiazo compounds for isomeric 2,5-disubstituted tetrazoles. The enthalpies of formation of R(N₃)C=NR (R = Me, Ph), C₂H₃(N₃)C=NMe and increments _f H°[C_d–(C)(N₃)], _f H°[C_d-(C_b)(N₃)], and _f H°[C_d–(C_d)(N₃)] have been estimated.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Beitrag zur mathematischen Beschreibung des Spannungs-Dehnungs-Verhaltens von Elastomeren

Zusammenfassung Ausgehend von der Hypothese vonValanis undLandel, nach der die DehnungsenergieW( _x , _y , _z ) als Summe dreier identischer Funktionenw( _i ) der Dehnungsverhältnisse _i (i=x,y,z) dargestellt werden kann, wird fürw( _i ) ein Ausdruck vorgeschlagen, der sich durch seine relative Einfachheit auszeichnet. Es wird gezeigt, daß die mit Hilfe dieses Ausdruckes abgeleiteten Formeln für das Spannungs-Dehnungs-Verhalten von Elastomeren in der Lage sind, Meßdaten anderer Autoren mit guter Genauigkeit wiederzugeben. Untersucht wurden die Beanspruchungsarten einaxialer Zug, biaxialer Zug und reine Scherung mit Dehnungen bis zu ca. 700%.

Summary Based on the hypothesis ofValanis andLandel that the strain-energy functionW( _x , _y , _z ) could be represented as the sum of three identical functionsw( _i ) of the principal extension ratios _i (i=x,y,z), an expression forw( _i ) is suggested which is distinguished by its relative simplicity. The stress-strain relations developed from this expression are tested successfully by applying them to experimental results of other authors. The types of strain which were examined were simple extension, biaxial extension and pure shear; the elongations were to about 700%.

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).     

Approximate theories of gelation

Summary The assumptions involved in approximate theories of gelation forRA ₂ +RB _f type random polymerisations are examined in detail. When the assumptionc _int c _ext is removed it is apparent that, contrary to previous findings, theFrisch theory is unable to explain existing gel-point data. A detailed development ofKilb's model for gelation is given and the expression _c (f – 1)(1 – _ab )² = 1 is derived as the condition for gelation. _c is the product of extents of reaction ofA andB groups at the gel point,f is the branchunit functionality, and _ab is a ring-forming parameter. _ab depends on the dilution of a reaction system, the molecular weights of the reactants and chain structures. It is shown how the derived expression can be used for reasonable predictions of _c for a given polymerisation system.

Zusammenfassung Die Annahmen, worauf die simplifizierten Gelbildungstheorien betreffs einer Zufallspolymerisation desRA ₂ +RB _f Typs basieren, werden im einzelnen untersucht. Legt man die Annahmec _int c _ext ab, stellt sich heraus, daß dieFrisch-Theorie, im Gegensatz zu früheren Resultaten, die bekannten Gelpunktdaten nicht erklären kann. Eine Weiterentwicklung des Kilbschen Modelles wird vorgeschlagen und der Ausdruck _c (f - 1)(1 - _ab ² = 1 wird als Gelbindungsbedingung abgeleitet. _c ist das Produkt der Reaktionsumsätze derA- undB-Gruppen beim Gelpunkt;f = Funktionalität einer Verzweigungseinheit und _ab ist ein Ringbildungsparameter. _ab hängt von der Verdünnung eines Reaktionssystems, von den Molekulargewichten der reagierenden Moleküle und von ihren Kettenstrukturen ab. Es wird gezeigt, wie der so abgeleitete Ausdruck angewandt werden kann, um Werte für _c bei einer gegebenen Polymerisation vernünftig vorauszusagen.

Electronic spectra of α,β-unsaturated ketones — Indole derivatives

The electronic spectra of (3-indolyl)-, (1-methyl-3-indolyl)-, and (6-nitro-3-indolyl)-substituted ,-unsaturated ketones were measured and interpreted. 3-Indolyl and N-methyl-3-indolyl substituents have a considerable bathochromic effect as compared with the phenyl group in the investigated systems as a consequence of the electron-donor effect, which surpasses that for 4-anisyl, 2,4-dimethoxyphenyl, 2-furyl, 2-thienyl, and 2-selenienyl and differs only slightly from 2-pyrrolyl. The introduction of electron-donor substituents into the p position of the benzene ring of 1-(3-indolyl)-3-phenyl-1-propenone causes a red shift of the long-wave absorption band, the difference in frequencies of which correlates with the Hammett substituent constants. Except for compounds containing a nitro group,1-(3-indolyl)-3-aryl-3-propenones and their N-methyl derivatives fluoresce well in alcohol with _max >475 nm.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 7, pp. 949–953, July, 1972.     

Spectroscopic study of organosilicon derivatives of thiophene

It is shown that the chemical shifts of hydrogen atoms in the 3 position of the thiophene ring in the PMR spectra of 2-substituted thiophenes are linearly associated with the Hammett _n substituent constants. On the basis of this, it was concluded that silyl substituents in 2-silylthiophenes have electron-acceptor character. It was established that the degree of d–p conjugation between the d orbitals of the silicon atom and the p electrons of the thiophene ring depends on the nature of the other three substituents attached to the silicon atom. The data from the IR spectra of organosilylthiophenes that contain a Si-H bond also attest to the presence of d–p conjugation in these compounds.See [1] for communication I.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 7, pp. 911–915, July, 1972.

Structural Anisotropy of Fractal Aggregates and Its Exhibition in Electrooptical Effects

The first experimental examination of orientational turbidimetric effect [differential orientational spectrum of optical density D() in suspensions of fractal clusters was presented. Experiments were performed for aqueous suspensions of powdered Aerosil OX-50 aggregates ordered by the alternating electric field oriented along or across the unpolarized light beam. Experimental differential spectra D() are essentially different from the known spectra for bacterial and yeast suspensions. In particular, the points of zero effect lie in the red (but not in the blue) region of spectrum, and the |D()| dependence is a decreasing function in the range 300–800 nm. To explain these results, a theory was developed based on the three-dimensional lattice model of cluster-cluster aggregation and the optical model of interacting dipoles. This theory confirms main conclusions obtained previously in the Rayleigh–Debye–Hans approximation (Khlebtsov, N.G. and Mel'nikov, A.G., Kolloidn. Zh., 1998, vol. 60, no. 6, p. 843) and agrees with experimental D() spectra. It was shown experimentally and theoretically that the structural anisotropy of aggregates exhibited scale invariance, and the differential spectra for the aggregates with various numbers of particles are described by a single universal curve D(kR _g), where k= 2/ and R _gis the mean radius of gyration of aggregates.
