Two new Ni(II) complexes of 2,6-bis[1-(2,6-diethylphenylimino)ethyl]pyridine (L¹), 2,6-bis[1-(4-methylphenylimino)ethyl]pyridine (L² ) have been synthesized and structurally characterized. Complex Ni(L¹)Cl₂?·?CH₃CN (1), exhibits a distorted trigonal bipyramidal geometry, whereas complex Ni(L¹)(CH₃CN)Cl₂ (2), is six-coordinate with a geometry that can best be described as distorted octahedral. The catalytic activities of complexes 1, 2, Ni{2,6-bis[1-(2,6-diisopropyl-phenylimino)ethyl]pyridine} Cl₂?·?CH₃CN (3), and Ni{2,6-bis[1-(2,6-dimethylphenylimino) ethyl]pyridine}Cl₂?·?CH₃CN (4), for ethylene polymerization were studied under activation with MAO.     

Kinetics and mechanism for the oxidation of 1,1,1-trichloroethane

The reaction mechanisms for oxidation of CH₃CCl₂ and CCl₃CH₂ radicals, formed in the atmospheric degradation of CH₃CCl₃ have been elucidated. The primary oxidation products from these radicals are CH₃CClO and CCl₃CHO, respectively. Absolute rate constants for the reaction of hydroxyl radicals with CH₃CCl₃ have been measured in 1 atm of Argon at 359, 376, and 402 K using pulse radiolysis combined with UV kinetic spectroscopy giving ??(OH + CH₃CCl₃) = (5.4 ± 3) 10^?12 exp(?3570 ± 890/RT) cm³ molecule^?1 s^?1. A value of this rate constant of 1.3 × 10^?14 cm³ molecule^?1 s^?1 at 298 K was calculated using this Arrhenius expression. A relative rate technique was utilized to provide rate data for the OH + CH₃ CCl₃ reaction as well as the reaction of OH with the primary oxidation products. Values of the relative rate constants at 298 K are: ??(OH + CH₃CCl₃) = (1.09 ± 0.35) × 10^?14, ??(OH + CH₃CClO) = (0.91 ± 0.32) × 10^?14, ??(OH + CCl₃CHO) = (178 ± 31) × 10^?14, ??(OH + CCl₂O) < 0.1 × 10^?14; all in units of cm³ molecule^?1 s^?1. The effect of chlorine substitution on the reactivity of organic compounds towards OH radicals is discussed.     

Polymerization of methyl methacrylate by a charge transfer mechanism with urea and iron (III) complex

Methyl methacrylate (MMA) can be polymerized by a charge transfer complex formed by the interaction of urea, methyl methacrylate, and carbon tetrachloride (CCl₄) in a nonaqueous solvent like dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO). The rate of polymerization can be accelerated by Lewis acids like Fe³⁺. This article reports the polymerization of MMA initiated by urea and CCl₄ and accelerated with hexakisdimethylsulfoxide iron (III) perchlorate, [Fe(DMSO)₆](ClO₄)₃, and A at 60°C. Definite induction periods were observed for the polymerization reaction initiated by urea and CCl₄ alone, but the induction period completely vanished when the molar ratio of urea to A reached 6:1. The molecular weights of the polymers with 6:1 molar ratio of urea to A were higher than with urea alone. The rate constant for the polymerization of MMA in the presence of [Fe(urea)₆]³⁺ was 1.03 × 10^?5 1 mol^?1 s^?1 at 60°C. The transfer constant for CCl₄ for polymerization with urea alone is 2.43 × 10^?3 at 60°C.     

The structure,magnetic and spectral properties of 4-acetylpyridine N-oxide complexes of copper(II) propionates

The synthesis and characterization of CuX₂L; (X = CH₃CH₂COO^?, ClCH₂CH₂COO^?, CH₃CHClCOO^? or CH₃CCl₂COO^?; and L = 4-acetylpyridine N-oxide) is reported. The characterization of these compounds was based on electronic, infrared and EPR spectra, as well as magnetic measurements over the temperature range. Several correlations between the spectral and magnetic data as well as pK_a values of the respective acids were found and discussed. On the basis of spectral and magnetic data the structures of the compounds are discussed.     

Polymerization of methyl methacrylate by charge transfer mechanism by melamine and iron(III) complex

Methyl methacrylate (MMA) can be polymerized by the charge-transfer complex formed by the interaction of melamine (MM), MMA and carbon tetrachloride in a non-aqueous solvent like dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO) or N-N-dimethylformamide. The polymerization can be accelerated by Lewis acids like Fe^3?. This paper reports the polymerization of MMA initiated by MM and CCl₄ and accelerated with hexakis dimethylsulphoxide iron(III) perchlorate [Fe(DMSO)₆] (ClO₄)₃. A, at 60°. Induction periods were observed for the polymerization initiated by MM and CCl₄ alone, but not when the molar ratio of MM to A became 3:1. The molecular weights of the polymers with 3:1 molar ratio of MM to A were higher than with MM alone. The rate constant for the polymerization of MMA in presence of [Fe(MM)₃]³⁺ was 1.4181 × 10^?5 1 mol^?1 sec^?1 at 60°. The transfer constant for CCl₄, in the absence of A, is 4.66 × 10^?3.     

Photopolymerization of vinyl monomers in the presence of chlorosilane compounds

The photopolymerization of vinyl monomers (methyl methacrylate and styrene) was investigated in the presence of chlorosilane compounds. It was found that these additives acted as photosensitizers. In the case of the photopolymerization of methyl methacrylate, the rate of polymerization was found to be proportional to the concentration of methyl methacrylate and to the square root of the chlorosilane concentration. The chain-transfer constants of these photosensitizers, SiCl₄, CH₃SiCl₃, (CH₃)₂SiCl₂, (CH₃)₃-SiCl, and (CH₃)₄Si, with ultraviolet irradiation were 25.6 × 10^?3, 18.4 × 10^?3, 17.5 × 10^?3, 14.4 × 10^?3 and 0.5 × 10^?3, respectively, for methyl methacrylate.     

Nucleophilic assistance in methane activation by superelectrophiles with halogen-centered cationic sites

Simulation of fragments of potential energy surface for systems CH₄ + CBr ₃ ⁺ , CH₄ + CBr ₃ ⁺ AlBr ₄ ^? , CH₄ + CCl ₃ ⁺ AlCl ₄ ^? , and CH₄ + CCl ₃ ⁺ Al₂Cl ₇ ^? was performed by DFT-B3LYP and DFT-PBE methods. The important role of nucleophilic assistance in methane halogenation by these superelectrophiles was confirmed. These reactions occur with a synchronous hydride transfer from methane to the electrophile within the cyclic transition states in linear C-H-C fragment of the rings and a generation of a C-Hlg bond between the carbon atom of the arising methyl group and the halogen atom of the electrophile. The nucleophilic assistance from the unshared electron pair of this halogen atom provides the lowering of the potential barriers to methane halogenation by complexes CBr ₃ ⁺ AlBr ₄ ^? , CCl ₃ ⁺ AlCl ₄ ^? , and CCl ₃ ⁺ Al₂Cl ₇ ^? to the values of the order of 20 kcal mol^?1. These essential features of the mechanism of methane halogenation are independent of the halogen nature and are retained on going from the model electrophiles to the real ones.     

Resonance Raman and Infrared Spectra of Carbene Complexes of Iron Porphyrins Dongsheng Lu

Abstract

The resonance Raman and infrared spectra of four carbene complexes, Fe(TTP)CCl₂, Fe(TPP)¹³CCl₂, Fe(TPP)CBr₂ and Fe(TMP)CCl₂ were measured in the solid state. Based on normal coordinate calculations and observed isotopic shifts by CC1₂/¹³CC1₂ substitution, the v(Fe=C), v_a(CCl₂) and v_s(CCl₂) vibrations were assigned at 1274, 878 and 437cm^?1, respectively. The bromo analogue exhibits these bands at 1270,823 and 364 cm^?1, respectively. All TPP complexes exhibit the spin-state sensitive band (v₂) at 1569 cm^?1 and the oxidation-state sensitive band (v₄) at 1370cm^?1, thus suggesting that the Fe atoms in these carbene complexes are low-spin Fe(IV).     

Electrochemically initiated chain polymerization of pyrrole in aqueous media

The electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance has been employed to investigate the electropolymerization of pyrrole in a variety of aqueous electrolytes. In contrast to the generally accepted cation–radical coupling process for the electropolymerization of pyrrole, an electrochemically initiated chain polymerization, featuring a high polymerization rate and involving little charge transport, was found under specific conditions in the presence of ClO^?₄, BF^?₄, and PF^?₆ electrolytes. The more typical cation-radical coupling mechanism, characterized by a constant polymerization charge to mass deposited ratio, is observed in the presence of Cl^?, NO^?₃, dodecyl sulfate, copper phthalocyanine tetrasulfonate, β-cyclodextrin tetradecasulfate, and poly(styrene sulfonate). Electrochemical characterizations of polypyrrole films prepared in aqueous ClO^?₄ electrolytes reveal that the polymer formed via chain polymerization exhibits the ability to transport both cations and anions during electrochemical switching between redox states, while the polymer synthesized through cation-radical coupling is only capable of transporting a single ionic species.     

New routes for the synthesis of fused pyrrole scaffolds through transition metal-free tandem reactions

A series of transition metal-free tandem reactions for the synthesis of indolizines and 6,7-dihydroindolizin-8(5H)-ones by 4-bromobut-2-enoate ramifications reacted with 2-acetyl pyrrole derivatives are described. As the α-carbon changed from CH₃, CH₂Cl, CHCl₂, to CCl₃, different kinds of tandem reactions were observed. These tandem reactions could be used to synthesize fused indolizine and indolizidine scaffolds under mild and green conditions.     

Charge transfer initiation of methylmethacrylate by isopropylamine

Methylmethacrylate (MMA) can be initiated by charge transfer complexes (i) formed by the interaction of aliphatic amines and MMA and (ii) formed by the interaction of aliphatic amines and carbon tetrachloride in a solvent like N-N dimethylformamide (DMF), dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO) or chloroform. This paper reports the polymerization of MMA by isopropylamine (IPA) in the presence of CCl₄ in DMSO at 30. The rate of polymerization, R_p increases rapidly with CCl₄ up to a concentration of 0.25 mol l^?1 but, for a higher concentration, it is practically independent of the CCl₄ concentration. R_p is proportional to (IPA concentration)^{1 2} and to power of (MMA concentration)^1.30 when [CCl₄] ? [IPA]. The average rate constant, k, is 2.1 × 10^?6 l mol^{· 1} sec^{? 1}.     

Kinetics and mechanism of the cationic polymerization of tetrahydrofuran in solution. I. THF–CCI4 system

Polymerization of THF in CCl₄ solvent was initiated with 1,3-dioxolan-2-ylium eations with AsF₆^?, PF₆^?, and SbF₆^? anions as well as with esters of fluorosulfonic and trifluoromethanesulfonic acids. With these esters polymerization proceeds with a marked acceleration period, due to slow initiation. The corresponding rate constants of initiation and their dependence on the polarity of the THF/CCl₄ mixture were determined. The rate constant of propagation on the macroion-pairs (k_p^±) of the polytetrahydrofurylium cation with AsF₆^?, PF₆^?, and SbF₆^? and CF₃SO₃^?, anions was found to be independent in CCl₄ solvent on the anion structure and given by the expression: k_p^± = 2.93 × 10^?2 exp {?4.7 × 10³/T} at [THF]₀ = 8.0M. This constant depends on the polarity of the polymerization mixture, and at 25°C for the THF-CCl₄ system, k_p^± = 1.78 × 10^?2 exp {?4.9/D}; thus, in CCl₄ at [THF]₀ = 8.0M, and at 25° k_p^± = 4.0 × 10^?21/mole-sec. In the polymerization with derivatives of CF₃SO₃H (able to form the corresponding macroester) the overall polymerization rate is much lower than that with complex anions because of the reversible conversion of the macroion-pairs into the macroester (internal return). The macroester is much less reactive than the macroionpair (10²–10³ times) in the monomer addition reaction. At [THF]₀ = 8.0M and at 25°C, 96.5% of the growing species exists in the macroester form. Polymerization of THF initiated with derivatives of CF₃SO₃H is a subject of a strong special salt-effect. At a sufficiently high ratio of [AgSbF₆] to [I]₀, where the initiator I is C₂H₅OSO₂CF₃, the overall polymerization rate is equal to that observed for the polymerization of THF on the macroion-pairs, since the internal return within the triflate ion-pair (the macroester formation) is eliminated and polymerization proceeds on the macroion-pairs with SbF₆- anions exclusively.     

Synthesis of block cotelomers involving a perfluorinated chain and a hydrophilic chain. III. Synthesis and use of fluorinated telogens with a trichloromethyl end group

The addition by redox catalysis (CuCl or FeCl₃ with benzoin) of CCl₄ and CCl₃? CF₂? CCl₃ on pentafluorostyrene and on fluorinated allyl ether, C₆F₁₃? C₂H₄? O? CH₂? CH?CH₂ was performed. The monoaddition compounds were mainly obtained with satisfactory yields and characterized by NMR (¹³C, ¹H, and ¹⁹F). These compounds were then used as telogens in telomerization by redox catalysis of acrylamide, methyl methacrylate, and acrylic acid and in radical-initiated telomerization of N-vinyl-pyrrolidone. The chain lengths of the hydrocarbonated sequences were determined from fluorine elemental analysis. A critical investigation of correlations between DP _n and concentrations of products involved was made.     

dh-μ-Carboxilato-e-μ-hydroxo-f-μ-oxo-bis[trichloroantimone(V)] Struktur und spektroskopsiche Untersuchungen

Bildung siliciumorganischer Verbindungen. XXXVIII. Umsetzung perchlorierter Carbosilane mit LiAlH4

By LiAlH₄ (Cl₃Si)₂CH₂, (Cl₂Si? CH₂)₂SiCl₂ are reduced to (H₃Si)₂CH₂ (a), (H₃Si? CH₂)₂SiH₂ (b) and (H₂Si? CH₂)₃(c). However with the compounds (Cl₃Si)₂CCl₂, (Cl₃Si? CCl₂0₂SiCl₂ and (Cl₂Si? CCl₂)₃ cleavages of the Si? C-bond and reduction of the CCl-groups occur apart from the normal reduction of the Si-Cl-groups to (H₃Si)₂CCl₂ (d), (H₃SiCCl₂)₂SiH₂ (e) and (H₂Si? CCl₂)₃. Excess LiAlH₄ favours this cleavage, the exact amount of a quarter of a mole LiAlH₄ per SiCl-group allows the formation of (d), (e), (f). The cleavage of (e) is in accordance with: (1), (2),(3). Therefore SiH₃₄ and (H₃Si)₂CCl₂ are the main-reaction-products and CH₃SiH₃ is formed acc. to equ. (3). Because of the cleavage of (H₂Si? CCl₂)₃ with LiAlH₄ H₃Si? CCl₂? SiH₂? CH₃and H₃Si? CH₂? SiH₂? CH₂? SiH₂? CH₃ are preferentially formed after the hydrolysis. The CH₂-containing compounds (a), (b), (c) cannot be cleaved in an analogous reaction.

氰化物与吡咯复合物氢键强度的理论研究

The R-C≡N…pyrrole (R=H, CH3, CH2F, CHF2, CF3, NH2, BH2, OH, F, CH2Cl, CHCl2, CCl3, Li, Na) complexes were considered as the simple sample for measure of hydrogen bonding strength. Density functional theory B3LYP/6-311 G^** level was applied to the optimization of geometries of complexes and monomers. Measure of hydrogen bonding strength based on geometrical and topological parameters, which were derived from the AIM theory, was analyzed. Additionally, natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis and frequency calculations were performed.From the computation results it was found that the electronic density at N-H bond critical points was also strictly correlated with the hydrogen bonding strength.     

Naphthalene and pyrrole substituted guanidine in selective sensing of Cu2+, Hg2+, Pb2+ and CN− ions under different conditions

Naphthalene and pyrrole substituted guanidine 1 has been designed and synthesised. Compound 1 efficiently distinguishes Cu²⁺, Hg²⁺ and Pb²⁺ ions by exhibiting different responses in fluorescence. While compound 1 exhibited turn-on emission selectively in the presence of Hg²⁺ and Pb²⁺ ions in CH₃CN and CH₃CN–H₂O (1:1, v/v), respectively, it showed decrease in emission upon interaction with Cu²⁺ ion in CH₃CN. Furthermore, the Cu-1 ensemble has been established as a potential probe for selective detection of CN^? ion over a series of other anions involving colour change (in ordinary light: colourless to light yellow and under UV light: colourless to sky blue). Theoretical insight has been invoked to understand the mode of metal–ligand interaction.     

Rate constants for reactions of Cl abstraction from CCl4 by CCl3CH2·CHR radicals and Br abstraction from CCl3CH2CHBrR (R=Bun, AcO, OCNC4H8, CN) by ·Re(CO)5 radicals

The rate constants for reactions of Cl abstraction from CCl₄ by CCl₃CH₂·CHR radicals and Br abstraction from CCl₃CH₂CHBrR (R=Buⁿ, AcO, OCNC₄H₈, CN) by·Re(CO)₅ radicals were determined by ESR spectroscopy using spin trapping technique. Replacement of H atoms at the C(β) atom by O or N atoms reduces the reactivity of the radicals in the reactions of Cl abstraction from CCl₄ by approximately an order of magnitude. The presence of two polar groups at the C(β) atom results in appreciable decrease in the strength of the C−Br bond in CCl₃CH₂CHBrR adducts. Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Polymerization of Methyl Methacrylate by Charge-Transfer Mechanism with Amines and Carbon Tetrachloride

The charge-transfer complex formed between an amine and carbon tetrachloride can initiate the polymerization of vinyl monomers in a nonaqueous solvent such as dimethylsulfoxide. Here we use cyclopentylamine (CPA) and heptylamine (HA) as the donor compounds for charge-transfer initiation of the polymerization of methl methacrylate (MMA). The rate of polymerization R_p = k[MMA]¹ [amine]^0.5 [CCl₄]^0.5 when [CCl₄] [amine] ≤ 1; when [CCl₄] [amine] < 1, R_p becomes independent of [CCl₄] and R_p = k[MMA]^1.5 [amine]^0.5. The average constant at 60°C for the polymerization of MMA in terms of monomer were (1.66 ± 0.03) × 10^?5 and (1.46 ± 0.04) × 10^?5 s^?1 with CPA and HA, respectively, when [CCl₄] [amine] ≤ 1, and (1.16 ± 0.04) × 10^?5 and (1.39 ± 0.08) × 10^?1 L/mol·s when [CCl₄]/[amine] < 1.
