Synthesis of stable dodecaalkoxy derivatives of hypercloso-B12H12

The scope and limitations of the alkylation of [closo-B12(OH)12]2- using a series of fourteen alkyl and aralkyl halides and two p-toluenesulfonic acid esters in the presence of N,N-diisopropylethylamine have been investigated. The dodecaalkoxy-closo-dodecaborate products, [closo-B12(OR)12]2-, and their hypercloso two-electron oxidation products have been explored. The species [closo-B12(OR)12]2- containing 26 cage-bonding electrons may undergo two reversible, sequential, one-electron oxidation processes, producing a 25-electron radical anion and a 24-electron neutral species. Several oxidizing reagents were investigated for the chemical oxidation of [closo-B12(OR)12]2- and [hypercloso-B12(OR)12]- to [hypercloso-B12(OR)12]. Both FeCl3.6H2O and K3Fe(CN)6 in 90/5/5 ethanol/acetonitrile/H2O were found to be the reagents of choice. The reverse reaction leading from the neutral species to the radical anion and subsequently to the dianion was achieved using sodium borohydride in ethanol. A variety of alkoxyl derivatives have been synthesized by heating the reactants for extended periods of time in acetonitrile at the reflux temperature. The use of elevated reaction temperatures attained by employing moderate argon pressure (autoclave) over the reaction mixture led to drastic reductions in reaction times and increased efficiency. X-ray diffraction studies of substituted dodecabenzyl ether derivatives proved that 2(2-) has approximate Ih symmetry while hypercloso-2, -3, -9, -11, -12, and -13 have approximate D3d point group symmetry due to Jahn-Teller distortion from Ih.     

Synthesis of dialkoxy- and alkoxy-amino-disubstituted derivatives of B12H12 2−

Dichloromethoxymethane reacts with the sodium salt ofcloso-dodecahydrododecaborate Na₂B₁₂H₁₂ to give disubstituted cluster, which readily decomposes when treated with various reagents. This cluster reacts with water, forming the previously described 1,7-B₁₂H₁₀(OH)_{2 2–}reaction with alcohols results in a novel 1,7-dialkoxy derivative, whereas interaction with morpholine in acetone solution affords the novel anion, 1-O-I-Prⁱ-7-O(CH₂CH₂)N-B₁₂H₁₀ ^2–. All of these derivatives were isolated as cesium salts and characterized by one- and two-dimensional NMR techniques.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Synthesis and characterization of glycine copolymers of nylons 6 and 12

Copolymers of glycine and 6-aminohexanoic or 12-aminododecanoic acid within a range of molar compositions from 80/20 to 5/95 were prepared by solution polycondensation of the adequate proportion of the respective pentachlorophenyl ester hydrobromides. Despite their random composition, the copolymers obtained were found to be highly crystalline. Intrinsic viscosities of 2/6 and 2/12 copolyamides were similar and rather low (M_n, ca. 3000-5000). Thermal post-polycondensation allowed to increase the molecular weight of 2/12 copolyamides, so that fibers could be prepared. The composition and sequence distributions were evaluated by means of ¹H- and ¹³C-NMR spectroscopies. Copolyamides were also characterized in terms of thermal properties. Melting and glass transition temperatures are reported. Crystallinity was evaluated from heats of fusion. Crystalline structure was examined by infrared spectroscopy and wide-angle x-ray diffraction. The presence of structures related to the polyglycine I and to α/γ-nylons was confirmed depending on the molar composition. Highly oriented fibers with good tensile properties were obtained from the nylon 2/12 (10 : 90) copolymer. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Synthesis and Structure of Ba7F12Cl2

Crystals of ordered and disordered Ba₇F₁₂Cl₂ were prepared by flux growth and solid state reactions. These new structures were characterized by single crystal and powder X‐ray diffraction. The disordered variant which shows disorder on one of the cation sites was obtained from a BaF₂ + BaCl₂ + NaCl/NaF flux. It has hexagonal space group P6₃/m (176) with one formula unit per unit cell. The lattice constants are a = b = 1059.55(5) pm and c = 420.10(4) pm (at 21 °C). The structure was refined to R(R_w) = 0.026(0.030) for 346 independent reflections and 26 parameters. Slow cooling of a mixture of BaF₂ and LiCl yields the ordered variant. This one crystallizes in the hexagonal space group P6 (174) with one formula per unit cell. Lattice constants at 21 °C are a = b = 1063.46(2) pm and c = 417.52(1) pm. The structure was refined to R(R_w) = 0.017 (0.017) for 638 independent reflections and 45 parameters. The structural arrangement and the interatomic distances of the two variants are mutually similar. The barium atoms have coordination number nine. Propeller‐type arrangements with a chloride ion on the axis and the fluoride ions as blades are observed. These latter ones are interconnected into ‘channels' of tricapped fluoride prisms. Occupation disorder of the barium sites in the channels of the disordered variant makes the main difference between the two. An unexpectedly high X‐ray density obtained for both variants of Ba₇F₁₂Cl₂ can be correlated to the density of other barium fluorohalides having a coordination number of nine for the barium ion.

F distances – and 302.7(1) pm and barium chlorine distances between 331.55(3) and 336.19(15) pm. This compound is further characterized using Raman spectroscopy.
