Anisole,acetophenone and benzoic acid methyl ester oriented in a nematic phase: Structure and internal motion

¹H-, ¹H? {²D}-, ²D- and ²D? {¹H}-N.m.r.-spectra were used in an investigation of the partially oriented molecules anisole, acetophenone and benzoic acid methyl ester. The phenyl ring geometries were found to deviate slightly from the regular hexagon. For anisole and acetophenone the measured couplings indicate a structure with the substituent group in the plane of the ring and one of the methyl protons pointing away from it. It is not possible, however, to draw further conclusions on the depths and shapes of the potentials hindering the internal motions. For benzoic acid methyl ester the measurements indicate that the dominant conformer is the one with the O? CH₃ axis approximately parallel to the effective molecular C₂-symmetry axis. Semiempirical MO calculations were found to provide reasonable molecular structures but no information on the potentials.     

Schwingungsspektren und Kraftkonstanten der Übergangsreihen OP(OCH3)3?OPCl3 und SP(OCH3)3?SPCl3

The IR- and RAMAN -spectra are reported from OP(OCH₃)₂Cl, OP(OCH₃)Cl₂, SP(OCH₃)Cl, SP(OCH₃)Cl₂. The assignement to the fundamental vibration is given and all Valence-force-constants are calculated. With increasing number of chlorine atoms decrease f P? OCH₃ and f P? Cl. In the contrary, f O? P and f S? P increase. Here the influence of decreasing electro negativity is compensated by the change from an element of the first period of eight elements to an element of the second period.     

Small Cycloalkane (CN)2CC(CN)2 Structures Are Highly Directional Non‐covalent Carbon‐Bond Donors

High‐level calculations (RI‐MP2/def2‐TZVP) disclosed that the σ‐hole in between two C atoms of cycloalkane X₂C?CX₂ structures (X=F, CN) is increasingly exposed with decreasing ring size. The interacting energy of complexes of F^?, HO^?, N≡C^?, and H₂CO with cyclopropane and cyclobutane X₂C?CX₂ derivatives was calculated. For X=F, these energies are small to positive, while for X=CN they are all negative, ranging from ?6.8 to ?42.3 kcal mol^?1. These finding are corroborated by a thorough statistical survey of the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD). No clear evidence could be found in support of non‐covalent carbon bonding between electron‐rich atoms (El.R.) and F₂C?CF₂ structures. In marked contrast, El.R.???(CN)₂C?C(CN)₂ interactions are abundant and highly directional. Based on these findings, the hydrophobic electrophilic bowl formed by 1,1′,2,2′‐tetracyano cyclopropane or cyclobutane derivatives is proposed as a new and synthetically accessible supramolecular synthon.     

Vibrational spectra of sodium gadolinium tungstate NaGd(WO4)2 single crystals: Observation of spatial dispersion

Room temperature polarized Raman scattering and infrared reflectance spectra of a NaGd(WO₄)₂ single crystal have been measured. The IR spectra interpretation was aided by a Kramers-Krönig analysis, and fitted to the independent oscillator model. All 13 theoretically expected Raman-active bands have been identified and assigned, as well as 7 out of 8 expected IR active bands. Splitting of bands in both Raman and IR clearly indicates a lowering of the crystal symmetry due to occupation disorder in the 4a site, that randomly accommodates either an Na⁺ or a Gd³⁺ ion. The reflectance IR spectra reveal a spatial dispersion, namely a dependence of the transverse optical (TO) polariton frequencies, on the propagation direction in the crystal. The crystal vibrational modes are correlated to the internal modes of the tungstate group WO₄^2?, and to the internal modes of the molecular skeleton. A detailed correlation map of the symmetry analysis is presented.     

Γ-Lakton-cis-anellierung an Δ2- und Δ3- Cholesten

γ-Lactone-cis-annulation to Δ²- and Δ³- Cholestene. From Δ²- and Δ³- cholestene the γ-lactones 11a , 11b , 12a , and 12b are synthesized through the dibromocarbene adducts 3 and 4 , the bromohydrines 5 and 6 , the oxapiropentanes 7 and 8 , and the cyclobutanones 9a , 9b and 10a , 10b , respectively. The ¹³C-NMR.-spectra of 1–8 and 11 as well as the ORD.-spectra of the cyclobutanones 9 and 10 are reported.     

Simple indium generators

Very economical, rapid and pure methods for the production of^115mIn and^113mIn from¹¹⁵Cd and¹¹³Sn, respectively are described. The methods are based on the extraction of^115mIn by o-xylene from 7.2M H₂SO₄ −0.06M HBr, and its reextraction with ≈11M H₂SO₄ −0.06M HBr from n-hexane. The γ-spectra of the generated^115mIn and^113mIn indicate that they are free from any other interferences.     

Die vermutliche Struktur der Anodendroside. Glykoside und Aglykone, 331. Mitteilung

Five crystalline compounds (anodendrosides) have been isolated from Anodendron paniculatum (Roxb.)A. DC. (Apocynaceae). They represent glycosides containing unusual sugars. Tentative structures for anodendroside-A ( 155 ), ?E₁ ( 3 ), ?E₂ ( 84 ), ?F ( 144 ) and ?G ( 115 ) are now presented. These structures are based on UV., IR., but mostly on high resolution mass spectra. NMR.-spectra could be performed with A, O-acetyl-E₂ and O-acetyl-G, which are in good agreement with the suggested structures. The unusual methylendioxy group postulated in the sugar moiety of A, E₁ and E₂ was also established by chemical methods, yielding approximately 1 Mol. equiv. of formaldehyde after acid hydrolysis of anodendroside-E₂.     

On the behaviour of Au plasmonic nanoparticles during hydrogen evolution at p-Si

Brewster Angle Reflectometry (BAR) and spectral photocurrent analysis show that Au nanoparticles are in a resonant state during light-induced hydrogen evolution with unpolarized light near-normal incidence. Keggin-type phosphododecamolybdate (PMo₁₂O₄₀^3?) anions were used as reducing and stabilizing agents to form novel Au nanoparticles (Au-NPs). BAR was employed to analyze the resonant optical response after adsorption to the surface of hydrogen terminated p-Si(111):H (1 × 1) and SiO₂. Proton reduction in 1 M H₂SO₄ occurs at asymmetric Au-NPs where also multipole field effects influence the plasmonic behaviour. In a comparative discussion, the contribution of surface plasmon polariton excitation to the observed pronounced photocurrent enhancement is outlined.     

1H- und 13C-NMR.-Spektren von 6-(p-X-Phenyl)fulvenen. Kurzmitteilung

¹H- and ¹³C-NMR.-spectra of 6-(p-X-phenyl)fulvenes The ¹H- and ¹³C-NMR.-spectra of a series of 6-(p-X-phenyl)fulvenes 3 , measured at 9.39 T (93.9 kgauss), have been analyzed. In these compounds, electronic effects due to the substituent X clearly exert changes in chemical shifts as well as in coupling constants in the 5-membered ring. Small changes in bond length are observed by comparison of the vicinal ¹H, ¹H-coupling constants, whereas changes in charge densities linearly influence the chemical shifts of C(5), C(2) and C(3).     

ESR.-Spektren der Radikal-Ionen alkylsubstituierter nicht-alternierender Kohlenwasserstoffe

ESR.-spectra of the radical-anions and the radical-cations derived from two alkyl-substituted, non-alternant hydrocarbons, acepleiadiene (APH₂) and 3,5,8,10-tetramethyl-cyclopenta[ef]heptalene (TMCP) have been recorded and analysed. The large differences in the total widths of the spectra of the corresponding ions (APH₂?: 32; APH₂⊕: 57; TMCP?: 69 and TMCP⊕: 36 Gauss) are well accounted for by the simple HMO model. The excellent agreement between the experimental and the theoretical values allows one to make a reliable assignment of the coupling constants to sets containing equal numbers of equivalent protons.     

Polariton splittings of deuterated hexamethylenetetramine

The i.r. absorption spectra and the Raman scattering spectra of polycrystalline deuterated hexamethylenetetramine (HMTD) have been recorded. The longitudinal and transverse components of all the i.r. active F₂ modes below 1200 cm⁻¹ are assigned in the Raman spectra (except ω₂₀). The observed polariton splittings have been used to determine the static dielectric constant (2.66 ± 0.035) which is the same as that for the HMT crystal. As expected, isotopic substitution does not change this macroscopic data.     

Über Pterinchemie 51. Mitteilung [1] CNDO-Rechnungen an Pterin, 6,7-Dimethyl-7,8-dihydropterin und 5-Formyl-6, 7-dimethyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydropterin

The ¹³C-NMR.-spectra of 7,8-dihydropterines and 5,6,7,8-tetrahydropterines show a large difference in the chemical shifts of the 4a- and 8a-sp²-carbon atoms. From the CNDO calculations it is apparent that there is a considerable difference in electron density at C(4a) and C(8a) atoms, which leads to a strong polarity of the C? C-Bond. The electron distribution in the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) is discussed.     

The structure of copolymers of vinyl cyclohexane with styrene

Copolymerization of vinyl cyclohexane (monomer-1) with styrene was investigated in the presence of the stereospecific complex catalyst TiCl₃ + Al(iso-C₄H₉)₃. Monomer reactivity ratios were r₁ = 0·177 ± 0·051 and r₂ = 2·117 ± 0·370. The monomer unit distributions in the copolymers were estimated by comparison of the i.r.-spectra of copolymers and the isotactic homopolymers using absorption bands at 565 and 1084 cm^?1 which correspond to the vibrations of styrene blocks containing ? 5 styrene units and the band at 985 cm^?1 characterizing polystyrene crystallinity. The data indicate the tendency towards alternation in the copolymerization. Analysis of the experimental and literature data led to the conclusion that distribution of the units in copolymers of vinyl cyclohexane with α-olefins is determined by the nature of the α-olefin. The following activity series is proposed for α-olefins in their copolymerization with vinyl cyclohexane in the presence of catalytic systems based on titanium salts and organo-aluminium compounds: propylene >; 4-methylpentene-1 >; styrene >; 3-methylbutene-1 ～ vinyl cyclohexane.     

Kreuzkonjugierte Cyanine und Merocyanine aus Salzen 1-substituierter 2,3-Dimethylchinoxaline. 2. Mitteilung Über die oxydative Umwandlung der Farbbasen

Crossconjugated Cyanines and Meroeyanines, Obtained from Salts of 1-Substituted 2,3-Dimethylquinoxslines. 2^nd Communication. On the Syntheses of Dehydro-Forms Products 3 of the readily oxidized 1 and 2 are found to be sensitive to solvolysis, especially when X and R are electron-withdrawing substituents. In some cases, the salts 3 could be identified as the oxidation products of the salts 9. The oxidation of 9p (X = 5,6-benzo, R=CH₃) by an alkaline solution of K₃Fe(CN)₆ leading to the quinoxalinone 10p is compared with the voltammetric oxidation of 81 (X = H, R=4-C1C₆H₄) and related to Viehe's [15] c, d-stabilized radicals. ¹H-NMR.-spectra of the salts 3 are discussed with regard to the (E/Z)-isomers,     

Exciton absorption and intramolecular Penning ionisation in small molecular clusters I: (N2O)n and C6H5CN·(N2O)n

Photoionisation efficiency (PIE)-spectra are measured for small (N₂O)_n-clusters,n=2...8, using synchrotron radiation from the electron storage ring BESSY at Berlin. Ionisation thresholds are reported. Resonances in the wavelength-range 97...100 nm forn>2 are attributed to exciton absorption with N₂O-Rydberg levels, series I and II parentage. This interpretation is supported by measurements of the PIE of mixed benzonitrile · (N₂O)_n clusters where benzonitrile serves as a monitor for photon absorption in N₂O at energies above the ionisation limit of benzonitrile.     

Zur Reaktion von Diphenoxyphosphorylchlorid mit N,N-disubstituierten Harnstoffen – Bildung von phosphorylierten Biuret-Verbindungen

Reaction of Diphenoxyphosphorylchloride with N,N-disubstituted Ureas – Formation of Phosphorylated Biuret Compounds N′,N′-disubstituted N-diphenoxyphosphorylureas, (PhO)₂P(O)? NH? CO? NR¹R² (R¹ = R² = Et, 1 ; n-Pr, 2 ; n-Bu, 3 ; i-Bu, 4 ; R¹ = Me and R² = Ph, 5 ) as well as phosphorylated biuret compounds, (PhO)₂P(O)? NH? CO? NH? CO? NR¹R² are obtained in the reaction of diphenoxyphosphorylchloride with N,N-disubstituted ureas and triethylamine. The biuret derivatives are formed via (PhO)₂P(O)NCO. Their yield rises if the reaction is carried out without amine. The X-ray crystal structure analysis of (PhO)₂P(O)? NH? CO? NH? CO? NPr₂, 8 , shows that dimers exist in the crystal with intermolecular as well as intramolecular hydrogen bonds. The framework formed by atoms P? N1? C1(O4)? N2? C2(O5)? N3(C3)C6 is planar. The existence of a rotation barrier along the bond C2–N3 was detected by NMR spectroscopy.     

Halochrome Molekeln 2. Mitteilung [1] Synthese und acidobasisches Verhalten substituierter 6,6-Diphenyl-6H-chromeno [4,3-b]indole

Halochromic Molecules, Synthesis and Acidobasic Behaviour of Substituted 6,6-Diphenyl-6H-chromeno [4,3-b]indoles Substituted 6,6-diphenyl-6H-chromeno [4,3-b]indoles are forming with acid ring-opened, intensely coloured diphenyl-indol-3-yl-carbenium salts. The preparation of these products is described and the UV./VIS.-spectra are discussed. An investigation of the halochromic properties is made by spectrophotometric determination of ?_pH*- and ?_H0*-curves in buffered methanol/water solutions. pK*- and pK*-values respectively are calculated and the suitability of substituted 6 H- chromeno [4, 3-b]indoles as chromogens in self-duplicating stationery is discussed.     

稳定的气相二价阴离子C7H22-

采用HF, MP2, CCSD以及CISD方法,研究了二价阴离子C₇H₂^2-和C₇H₃^2-及其一价阴离子的几何结构振动频率。在理论上,我们得到了C₇H₂^2-和C₇H₃^2-能量最低结构分别为：C₂C(H₂)C₄^2-和C₂CHCHCHC₂^2-,而且均没有虚频。计算这两种结构所有可能的碎片化通道,碎片化能表明这两结构都不易解离为两个一价阴离子碎片。但是这两结构的垂直电离能和绝热电离能表明C₂C(H₂)C₄^2-是稳定的,但C₂CHCHCHC₂^2-是不稳定的。     

The π-Orbital Sequence in Norbornadiene and Related Hydrocarbons

A method outlined previously [1] is used to show that in norbornadiene ( 3 ) the b ₂(π) orbital lies above a ₁(π), as predicted by theory. This indicates that in 3 through-space interaction between the two basis π-orbitals π_a and π_b is more important than through-bond interaction. Analysis of the PE.-spectra of 8-isopropylidene-tricyclo[3.2.1.0^2,4]-octane ( 13 ) and the corresponding octene ( 15 ) confirms that the π-orbital π_c of the exocyclic double bond conjugates more strongly with the symmetric Walsh-orbital e _s of the cyclopropano moiety than with the π-orbital π_a of a double bond in the same position.     

The Interaction of Walsh-Orbitols in Diademane and Related Hydrocarbons

To obtain further information concerning the interaction between Walsh-orbitols of ‘conjugated’ cyclopropane rings, the photoelectron spectra of the following compounds have been recorded: bicyclo[4.1.0]heptane 1 , cis- and trans-tricyclo[5.1.0^{3, 5}]octane 2, 3 , diademane 4 , trans-pentacyclo[3.3.2.0^{2, 9}.0^{4, 10}, 0^{6, 8}]decan 5 and bicyclo[4.1.0]heptene-2 6 . The first bands in the PE.-spectra of these compounds have been assigned on the basis of a ZDO HMO-approximation. For 2 and 4 the value for resonance integral between linked 2p atomic orbitals of two adjacent eclipsed cyclopropane rings is found to be ?1.73 eV.
