Vibrational isotope effect by the low rank perturbation method

Mathematical formalism of the low rank perturbation method (LRP) is applied to the vibrational isotope effect in the harmonic approximation. A pair of two n-atom isotopic molecules A and B which are identical except for isotopic substitutions at atomic sites is considered. Relations which express vibrational frequencies _k and normal modes _k of the perturbed isotopic molecule B in terms of the vibrational frequencies _i and normal modes _i of the unperturbed molecule A are derived. In these relations complete specification of the unperturbed normal modes _i is not required. Only amplitudes | _i of normal modes _i at sites affected by the isotopic substitution are needed.     

Analysis of the Temperature and Composition Dependence of Viscosimetric Properties of 2-Butanone <Emphasis Type="Bold">+</Emphasis> 2-Butanol Solvent Mixtures

Kinematic viscosities were measured for 2-butanone + 2-butanol binary liquid mixtures with a capillary Ubbelohde routine viscometer in the temperature range from 273.15 to 353.15 K at atmospheric pressure, and covering the whole miscibility field (0x_i1). Experimental data have been correlated by means of different empirical or semiempirical relationships, such as =(T), =(x_i), and =(T, x_i). Viscosity deviations, , from ideal behavior are negative at all experimental conditions, confirming that structure breaking effects prevail in the liquids. Furthermore, the thermodynamics of viscous flow and excess Gibbs energy of activation of viscous flow, G*^E, have been calculated. As an alternative and complementary approach to such investigations, the fluidity () of this binary system has been analyzed by the modified—Batschinski theory. The results are discussed in terms of the specific molecular interactions between the mixture components.     

Charge control of phenol complexation with unsaturated compounds containing organosilicon substituents. Thiophene derivatives

The frequency shifts of the O-H stretching modes and the resonance components _R of these shifts in the IR spectra of H-complexes of phenol with thiophene derivatives having organic and organosilicon substituents have been analyzed. Relationship of and _R parameters to values calculated by nonempirical methods that characterize the electronic effect of organic substituents on the effective charges of the thiophene ring atoms has been established. It has been shown that in the complexation of phenol (hard acid) with thiophene derivatives charge control prevails over frontier orbital control. The changes in the effective charges of the thiophene ring atoms due to the effect of organosilicon substituents have been calculated.For the previous publication of this series see Ref. 1.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Kinetics of Free Radical Generation in the Catalytic Oxidation of Methanol

The formation of free radicals over the surface of platinum-containing catalysts in the methanol oxidation reaction depending on the temperature, the composition of the reaction mixture, and the procedure used for introducing platinum was studied by the matrix isolation method technique. The nature and transformations of surface intermediates depending on the temperature and the presence of oxygen in the gas phase were studied by Fourier transform IR spectroscopy. The main surface intermediate was the methoxy group. The following three types of these groups were stabilized in alumina-based catalysts: (I) CH₃O–Al_oct (_s(–) = 2806 cm^–1), (II) CH₃O–Al_tetr (_s(–) = 2825 cm^–1), and (III) CH₃O < (Al)₂ (_S(–) = 2845 cm^–1, _s(–) = 1460 cm^–1, _s(–) = 1440 cm^–1, r _|| (₃) = 1185 cm^–1, and (–) = 1095 cm^–1). At the same time, isolated methoxy groups (_as(–) = 2997 cm^–1, _as(–) = 2959 cm^–1, _s(–) = 2857 cm^–1, and (₃) = 1450 cm^–1) and hydrogen-bonded groups ((–) = 3400–3550 cm^–1), which resulted from chemisorption at siloxane bridges, were stabilized in silica gel–based catalysts. It was found that CH₃O and CH₃OO radicals were formed only over the surfaces of pure supports (SiO₂ and Al₂O₃) and their mechanical mixtures with platinum. The total concentration of radicals was described by an extremal function of the composition of reactants, whereas the relative concentration depends on the nature of the support. This is conceivably due to the effect of coordinatively unsaturated cations of the support, which are formed by dehydroxylation in the course of catalyst pretreatment. An increase in the rate of formation of gas-phase radicals on mixed catalysts was explained by special properties of the platinum/support interface region, at which surface intermediates were formed in superequilibrium concentrations under reaction conditions.     

Some anomalies in the vibrational spectra of α, β-unsaturated ketones

Summary Some anomalies in the intensities of the bands of the C=C and C=O bonds in the vibrational spectra of , -unsaturated ketones have been explained by a difference in the sequence of the frequencies of the in-phase (_s) and out-of-phase (_as) vibrations of the multiple bonds in their cis (_s<_as) and trans (_s>_as) arrangements.

Zusammenfassung Auf Grund der Infrarotspektren der Phosphite von sieben Metallen der I. und II. Hauptgruppe des Periodischen Systems wurden die Werte der die PO-Bindung in den untersuchten Phosphiten charakterisierenden Parameter (Aufspaltung der Absorptionsbande der antisymmetrischen Valenzschwingung , Kraftkonstantenk _PO, Bindungslänger _PO und BindungsordnungN _PO) festgestellt.

ThePO-bond in alkali metal phosphites and alkaline earth metal phosphites

The IR absorption spectra of seven phosphites of metals of groups I and II of the periodic table were recorded. From the spectra obtained, the values of the parameters characterizing the PO-bond in the compounds studied (splitting of the absorption band of the antisymmetric stretching vibration , force constantk _PO, bond lengthr _PO and bond orderN _PO) were calculated. It was shown that deformation of the phosphite anion by the cations is a function of the size of the latter. The deformation of the anion is revealed most clearly in the values . The values of the bond orderN _PO reveal a substantial degree of -bonding in the PO-bonds of the phosphites studied.

     

Microwave Spectrum and Hindered Pseudorotation of Tetrahydrofuran

The microwave spectrum of the tetrahydrofuran (C₄H₈O) molecule in the ground state and eight excited states of hindered pseudorotation has been studied. A strong perturbation of rotational spectra has been found for three pairs of pseudorotational states, which is due to the vibrational-rotational interaction. To analyze the nonrigid spectra of these states we used the double resonance technique. Two hundred and sixty nine rotational and vibrational-rotational transitions corresponding to the _a and _c components of the dipole moment have been identified. The rotational constants have been determined along with the quartic constants of centrifugal distortion and the spectroscopic parameters of the interaction between the overall rotation and hindered pseudorotation. The splittings of three pairs of quasidegenerate vibrational levels have been calculated: ₀₁ = 21,308.17 MHz, ₂₃ = 61,205.28 MHz, ₅₆ = 68,183 MHz. The potential function of hindered pseudorotation V()=- 7.84(1-cos2)/2+36.10(1-cos4)/2 (cm^–1) was found from the splittings. It is concluded that the molecule has a twisted conformation (C₂ symmetry) in the states =0 and =1 of hindered pseudorotation and a bent conformation (C_s symmetry) in the states = 2 and = 3. The component of the dipole moment of the transition ‹ = 2 |_c | = 3› = 0.57± 0.01D was determined from the Stark effect of the rotational transitions in the = 2, = 3 states.     

IR Spectroscopic Study of Alkane Interaction with the Brønsted Acid Sites of Hydrogen-Exchanged Zeolites

Diffuse-reflectance IR spectroscopy is used to study the interaction of C₃ and C₆ alkanes (propane, n-hexane, 3-methylpentane, and cyclohexane) with the Brønsted acid sites of hydrogen-exchanged mordenite, ferrierite, ZSM-5, and faujasite. It is found that a shift of the absorption band of the stretching vibrations of acidic Si(OH)Al groups toward lower frequencies (OH) due to the formation of a hydrogen bond with adsorbed alkanes increases in the following series: OH(propane) < OH(n-hexane) = OH(3-methylpentane). The accessibility of Si(OH)Al groups to alkane molecules is determined by the dimension of rings through which molecules enter zeolite channels and cavities. It follows from the measured OH values that the strength of Brønsted acid sites decreases in the following series: HZSM-5 > H-mordenite H-ferrierite HY. The difference between the three high-silica zeolites is not great. The results obtained are compared with the published IR data on Si(OH)Al groups of zeolites with adsorbed alkanes and other weak bases.

The high-resolution FTIR spectrum of the fundamental ₈ of borazine ¹⁰B₃ ¹⁴N₃ ¹H₆ was reanalyzed taking into account the ^BB resonance with the combination band (₁₀ + ₁₇). A parameter set for the states ₈ = 1 and ₁₀ = ₁₇ = 1, respectively, is given, reproducing the observed spectrum at least up to J = 30 with experimental accuracy.     

Far infrared spectra (500–50 cm−1) of the 2,2′-bipyridine complexes of palladium and platinum halides

Summary The far-i.r. spectra of the title complexes have been examined. Band assignments are based on the shifts induced by ligand deuteration and halide substitution. Deuteration of bipyridine causes large shifts ( >10 cm^–1) in internal ligand modes, intermediate shifts between 2 and 9 cm^–1) in metal-nitrogen stretching and bending modes and small to zero shifts in metal-halide stretching and bending vibrations. Generally, the requirements for square planarC _2v synanetry [two (M–N) and two (M–X) bands] are observed. Previous ambiguities in the assignment of the (M–N) bands have been resolved by the isotopic labelling technique employed in this study.     

Diffusion Sensor of Mechanical Signals: Frequency Response at High Frequencies

The frequency response of a diffusion transducer with gauze electrodes, studied theoretically at high frequencies, is proportional to ^-3/2 starting with = D/R ² at < /R ² and to ^-1 at > /R ². Here, = 2f, f is the signal frequency, the electrolyte viscosity, D a diffusion coefficient, and R the radius of the gauze filaments. The calculation is compared with experiment.     

Frequencies and integral intenstities of the lactone and ester carbonyls of natural guaianolides

The frequencies and integral intensities of the IR bands of the stretching vibrations of lactone and acyclic ester carbonyls at C-8 of ten natural guaianolides and their derivatives, and of three model compounds have been studied. The most probable interpretation of the change in the value of A_C=O and _C=O of the lactone carbonyl have been suggested. In elegin and some of its derivatives, acroptilin, chlorohyssopifolin B, and eleganin, a lowering of the values of A_C=0 and _C=0 in comparison with dihydroelegin, hexahydroelegin, and the hydroxylactone of cynaropicrin is caused by nonvalent interactions of the lactone carbonyl with the -exocyclic double bond. The increase in A_C=O and _C=O in dihydroelegin, hexahydroelegen, and the hydroxylactone of cynaropicrin is due to the angular strain of the -lactone ring. It has been shown that in an acyclic side chain at C-8 an increase in the integral intensity and in the frequency of the ,-unsaturated ester carbonyl relative to guaianolides in which the terminal vinyl group at C-17 is absent is due to a conjugation effect.Institute of the Chemistry of Plant Substances, Uzbek SSR Academy of Sciences, Tashkent.

Die IR-Spektren von B-Methoxy- und B-Trideuteromethoxyborazinen und-boroxinen und Tri[methoxy(d3)boran

Zusammenfassung In Methoxyverbindungen des Bors tritt eine Verminderung der Frequenz der B—O-Valenzschwingung gengenüber den entsprechenden Trideuteromethoxyverbindungen auf. Dies wird durch zufällige Entartung von B—O und CH₃ erklärt, die zu einer Abstoßung und zur Vermischung des Schwingungscharakters dieser beiden Schwingungen führt. Hiedurch werden die B—O-Valenzschwingungen zu tieferen und die CH₃-Deformationsschwingungen zu höheren Wellenzahlen verschoben. Ähnliche Erscheinungen sind auch in Methoxyborazinen durch Wechselwirkung von BN und CH₃ zu beobachten. Diese Deutung gibt auch Hinweise für Zuordnungen in den Spektren von N-Methylborazinderivaten.

---

In methoxy substituted boron compounds bands arising from B—O stretching and (O)–CH₃ deformation modes show accidental degeneracy. The frequency of the CH₃ absorption is increased whereas BO is decreased compared to the corresponding CD₃-compounds. The spectra of B-methoxyborazines show similar effects between BN and (O)–CH₃ bands, which is analogous to interference between BN and (N)–CH₃ in N-methylborazines.

The reaction between Ru₃(₃-²-PhC₂C=CPh)(-dppm)(CO)₈ and Co₂(CO)₈ afforded dark red Co₂Ru₃(₄-C₂Ph)(₃-C₂Ph)(-dppm)(-CO)₂(CO)₉, shown by an X-ray structure determination to contain a strongly twisted Co₂Ru₃ bow-tie cluster (central Co), to which two PhC₂ units derived from cleavage of the original diyne are attached. One a these is strongly interacting with four metal atoms, the other being attached in the familiar ¹,2²-mode. The dppm ligand remains bridging two of the Ru atoms.

Diffuse-Reflectance IR Spectra of Methane Adsorbed on NaZSM-5 and HZSM-5 Zeolites

Diffuse-reflectance IR spectra of methane adsorbed on high-silica NaZSM-5 and HZSM-5 zeolites point to a stronger adsorption of methane on sodium cations than on protons. For the asymmetric stretching vibration ₃, this form of adsorption is characterized by a doublet with band maxima at 2980 and 3010 cm^–1. For the fully symmetric stretching vibration ₁, it is characterized by a singlet with a maximum at 2880 cm^–1. Methane is also adsorbed on NaZSM-5 in a weaker form, which is characterized by absorption bands with maxima at 3002 (₃) and 2887 (₁) cm^–1. The weaker form of methane adsorption on acidic bridging hydroxy groups of HZSM-5 is characterized by absorption bands at 3001 and 2887 cm^–1 (₃ and ₁, respectively). A difference between this form of adsorption and weak adsorption on sodium-exchanged zeolite reveals itself in the somewhat higher intensity of the band at 2887 cm^–1. For methane adsorbed on NaZSM-5, the frequencies of deformational vibrations and a spectrum in the near IR region are obtained for the first time. It was found that the perturbance of adsorbed methane molecules is seen in the spectrum as in the low-frequency shifts of most of the bands that appear due to composite vibrations and overtones and as new adsorption bands that were not observed for gaseous methane.     

Differential thermal analysis of poly(vinylidene chloride) crystals

The melting behavior of poly(vinylidene chloride) (PVDC) was studied using differential thermal analysis (DTA). Crystals were grown isothermally from 0.1% and 0.02% dilute solutions of the polymer in 1.2-dibromoethane and monobromobenzene. Both solid and oil samples were used for the DTA experiments. Solid samples are defined as dried down crystals and oil samples are crystals which have been suspension exchanged in silicone oil without letting them dry out. Thermal curves of solid samples are similar to those obtained previously with as-polymerized crystals, that is they show two endotherms. The lower temperature peak corresponds to the melting of lamellae as formed. The upper peak at around 200°C, may be due to the melting of crystals which have reorganized during heating. Thermal curves of oil samples show two extra small peaks in addition to those of the solid samples. From the results of annealing and degradation experiments, these two peaks may correspond to a small portion of the crystals which have been partially degraded to form double bonds and thus possess lower melting points. An alternative explanation is that there is an as yet unreported second crystal form of PVDC.

Zusammenfassung Das Schmelzverhalten von Poly/vinylidenchlorid (PVDC) wurde unter Einsatz der Differentialthermoanalyse (DTA) untersucht. Die Kristalle wurden unter isothermen Bedingungen aus 0.1 % und 0.02% verdünnten Lösungen des Polymeren in 1.2-Dibromäthan und Monobrombenzol gezüchtet. Sowohl »feste« als auch »ölige« Proben wurden für die DTA-Versuche eingesetzt. Als »feste« Proben wurden getrocknete Kristalle definiert und »ölige« als solche, bei welchen die Suspension im Siliconöl verblieb, ohne sie austrocknen zu lassen. Die thermische Kurven der »festen« Proben sind den bereits früher mit polymerisierten Kristallen erhaltenen ähnlich, d. h. sie zeigen zwei Endotherme. Der Peak bei der niedrigeren Temperatur entspricht den Schmelzen der gebildeten Lamellen. Der obere Peak bei etwa 200° kann dem Schmelzen von während der Aufheizung reorganisierten Kristallen zugeschrieben werden. Die thermische Kurven der »öligen« Proben zeigen zwei zusätzliche kleine Peaks außer denen an »festen« Proben. Aus den Ergebnissen der Temper- und Zersetzungsversuche dürften diese beiden Peaks einen kleinen Anteil der teilweise unter Bildung von Doppelbindungen zersetzten Kristalle entsprechen, welche auf diese Weise niedrigere Schemlzpunkte haben. Eine alternative Erklärung ist, daß es eine bisher nicht beschriebene zweite Kristallform von PVDC gibt.

Thermal study of some sulphosuccinates

The thermal properties of some sulphosuccinates and their intermediates were studied by using combined dynamic thermal analysis and mass spectrometry. The temperature ranges were similar in the two methods, and a scheme of thermal decomposition of the compounds investigated was suggested. In the first temperature range of thermal decomposition of the sulphosuccinate a-rupture of the molecular ion occurs. In the second temperature range, the fragmentation proceeds in two directions: either-rupture of the ethoxylated nonylphenol, or-rupture of the acid residue of the sulphosuccinates.
