Fluorierung von Dioxa- und Oxazaphospholanen

Fluorination of Dioxa- and Oxazaphospholanes The fluoridolysis of cyclic esters and esteramides of phosphorous acid ( 1 , 2 , 4 , 5 , 7 , 11 , and 12 ,) using the acid fluorination reagent Et₃N · nHF (n > 1) or an excess of a basic composed agent (n < 1) yields in all cases HPF₅^? ( 3 ,). With stoichiometric amounts of fluoride, however, the fluorophospholanes ( 4 ,) and ( 5 ,) as well as fac.- and mer.-o- ( 6a, 6b ,) and the spirocyclic fluorohydridophosphate ( 8 ,) are obtained. ( 13 ,) reacts to ( 14 ,) and the spirocyclic compound ( 15 ,) gives ( 16 ,). The fluorophosphoranes ( 18 ,), ( 19 ,), and ( 21 ,) are obtained by oxidative fluorination of the spiro- or bicyclic P? H compounds 11, 12 , and 20 , with CCl₄/Et₃N · nHF (n < 1). The oxidative fluorination of the cyclic triesters of phosphorous acid 7 , and 23 , leads to the cyclic fluorophosphates ( 22 ,) and 16 , as well as 6. , The compounds 18, 19 , and 22 , are also formed by oxidative fluorination of elemental phosphorus, P₄, in the presence of the corresponding bifunctional nucleophile.     

Electric conductivity of polymer composites with 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethan salts

The electric properties of polymer composites with highly conductive 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethan (TCNQ) salts such as quinolinium–TCNQ complex salt (), acridinium–TCNQ complex salt (), and N-methylacridinium–TCNQ complex salt () were studied. Polyacrylonitrile (PAN), poly(N-vinylcarbazole) (PVK), and poly(4-vinylpyridine), (P4VP), etc., were chosen as matrix polymers. The resistivity (ρ) of the was 0.37 Ω cm at the content of 20 wt % in the film. When the content of was increased up to 40 wt%, a phase separation of the needle crystals was observed and the ρ value increased. When was dispersed into PAN or PVK, the separation was also observed and the samples showed low conductivity. The uniform films were obtained in the and systems, but the values of ρ were high because of the degradation of the TCNQ salts. Uniform films with the naked eye were obtained in the and systems, and the values of Ω were 0.37, 1.05, and 3.40 Ω cm, respectively. was stable even when dispersed into P4VP. The properties of the composites were influenced by the combination of the TCNQ salts and the polymers. The uniformity and the stability of the composites were necessary to obtain the high conductive composites.     

Perfluorovinyl Morpholine and Perfluorovinyl Pyrrolidine with Nucleophiles and Electrophiles

In this study, both monofunctional and bifunctional nucleophiles, as well as the electrophile FNO, are reacted with perfluorovinyl amines. The perfluorovinyl amines CF?CF₂ and CF?CF₂ have been reacted with dimethylamine and diethylamine in the presence of small amounts of water to give CHFC(O)N(CH₃)₂ ( 1 ), CHFC(O)N(CH₃)₂ ( 2 ), and CHFC(O)N(C₂H₅)₂ ( 3 ). With perfluorovinyl pyrrolidine and perfluorovinyl morpholine, ethanolamine gives the cyclized products CHF ( 4 ) and CHF ( 5 ), respectively. Reaction of the vinyl amines with (CH₃)₃SiOCH₂CF₃ in the presence of catalytic amounts of CsF results in the formation of cis- ( 6 ) and trans- ( 7 ) CF?CF(OCH₂CF₃) and cis- ( 8 ) and trans- ( 9 ) CF?CF(OCH₂CF₃). The electrophile FNO reacts slowly with perfluorovinyl pyrrolidine and perfluorovinyl morpholine, and more rapidly with (CF₃)₃CCF?CF₂ to give CF(NO)CF₃ ( 10 ), CF(NO)CF₃ ( 11 ) and (CF₃)₃CF(NO)CF₃ ( 12 ), respectively. Single crystal X-ray analysis is used to confirm the identity of the product obtained from the controlled hydrolysis of the sultone of perfluorovinyl pyrrolidine as the sulfonic acid anhydride C(O)CF₂OS(O)₂OCF₂C(O) ( 13 ). The X-ray crystal structure of perfluorosuccinic acid monohydrate ( 14 ), which is obtained when the perfluorovinyl pyrrolidine sultone is hydrolyzed in excess water, is also reported for the first time.

The Radicals and Radical Dianions of Bridged [11]- and [15]Annulenyls as Compared with Those of Benzotropyl and 2,3-Naphthotropyl

The 1,6-methano[11]annulenyl ( 1 ·), 1,6:8, 14-propane-1,3-diylidene[15]annulenyl ( 2 ·), benzotropyl ( 3 ·) and 2,3-naphthotropyl ( 4 ·) radicals have been characterized by their ESR. spectra. The corresponding radical dianions, , , and , have also been studied both by ESR. and ENDOR. spectroscopy. Assignment of the coupling constants a_Hμ to protons in the individual positions μ of these radicals and radical dianions is to a large extent based on investigations of specifically deuteriated derivatives. The radicals 1· , 2· , 3· and 4· exist in temperature-dependent equilibria with ( 1 )₂, ( 2 )₂, ( 3 )₂ and ( 4 )₂, respectively, where ( 1 )₂ to ( 4 )₂ denote mixtures of dimers of 1 · to 4 ·. The dissociation enthalpies, ΔH°, of ( 1 )₂ (102 kJ/mol) and ( 2 )₂ (88 kJ/mol) are considerably smaller than those of ( 3 )₂ and ( 4 )₂ which do not significantly differ from the ΔH° value of bitropyl (139 ± 6 kJ/mol). This finding indicates that the gain in π-electron delocalization energies, Δ(DE)_π, upon dissociation markedly increases on going from bitropyl, ( 3 )₂ and ( 4 )₂ to ( 1 )₂ and ( 2 )₂, and thus points to an additional ‘resonance stabilization’ of 1 · and 2 ·, as compared with 3 · and 4 ·. A more pronounced π-spin localization on the 7-membered ring is observed in 3 ·, 4 ·, and relative to the corresponding species, 1 ·, 2 ·, and . It can be interpreted in terms of simple π-perimeter models without explicitly invoking substantial homoconjugative interactions between the bridged centres in 1 ·, 2 ·, and . However, the shortcomings of these crude models do not allow one to make a clear-cut statement about the contributions of the homotropyl structures to the π-systems of these paramagnetic species. The radical dianions and exhibit considerable hyperfine splittings from one ²³Na or ³⁹K nucleus of the counter-ion, whereas for and such splittings stem from two equivalent alkali metal nuclei. This finding is readily rationalized by different geometries of the bridged annulenyls and their benzo- and naphthotropyl analogues. Hyperfine data are also given for the radical anions of 7 H-benzocycloheptene, ( 3-H )\documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$2^{\ominus \atop \dot{}}$\end{document}, and 6 H-(2,3-naphtho)cycloheptene, ( 4-H )\documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$2^{\ominus \atop \dot{}}$\end{document}, as well as for the radical dianion of 1,6:8,14-bismethano[15]annulenyl, 5 \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$2^{\ominus \atop \dot{}}$\end{document}.     

Effects of Non-planarity in the Radical Anions of Tribenzo[a,c,e]cyclooctenes

Reduction of tribenzo[a,c,e]cyclooctene ( 2 ) and its 2,3- and 1,4-dimethyl derivatives ( 4 and 5 ), as well as of 1,1-dimethyl-10,11-propane-2,2-diylidene-1H-benzo[5,6]cycloocta[1,2,3,4-def]fluorene ( 6 ) and its 5,6-didehydro derivative ( 7 ) was followed by cyclic voltammetry. The radical anions of these compounds and those of their derivatives (D) 2 , (D) 5 , and (D) 6 , deuteratsd at C(9) in 1 and 5 or in the corresponding position of 6, have been characterized with the use of ESR, ENDOR, and TRIPLE-resonance spectroscopy. The cyclic-voltammetric and proton-hyperfine data are consistent with the increasing deviations of the radical anions from planarity in the order These deviations, due to steric or interferences in the peri-positions 1?14 and 4?5, are removed in and by the introduction of bridging groups. The non-plalarity affects the thermodynamic and kinetic stabilities of the radical anions and causes a shift in the π-spin distribution away from that benzene ring which is linked to the two others by the essential single bonds C(4a)? C(4b) and C(14a)? C(14b). This finding suggests that the steric hindrance in , and is alleviated by twisting this ring out of coplanarity with the remaining (Z)-stilbene-like π-system.     

Über die oxidative Fluorierung von (CF3)(R) (R = CF3, Cl) und die Kristallstruktur von (CF3)(Cl)F+ AsF6−

(M = As, Sb) in anhydrous HF results in formation of monofluorsulfonium hexafluorometalates. The salts are characterized by vibrational, NMR, and mass spectra.

The He 584 Å Photoelectron Spectra of Analoga of Thiathiophthene

The photoelectron spectra of the four oxygen and nitrogen analogs of thiathiophthene 1 to 4 are reported and discussed. The first two bands are assigned to ionization from the π- and n-molecular orbitals on the basis of CNDO/2 calculations. The assignment of bands and to ionization from π-molecular orbitals is suggested.     

H2S-promoted thermal isomerization of cis-2-pentene to 1-pentene and trans-2-pentene around 800 K

H₂S accelerates the thermal isomerization of cis-2-pentene (P2c) to 1-pentene (P1) and trans-2-pentene (P2t) to around 800 K. This effect is interpreted on the basis of a free radical mechanism in which 2-pentenyl and thiyl radicals are the main chain carriers. P1 formation is essentially explained by the competing processes: P2t formation is due to addition-elimination processes: the importance of which has been evaluated against process (?4μ): The following ratios of rate constants have been measured and are discussed: (RT in cal mol^?1).

The Electronic Structure of Pentaprismane (C10H10), as Revealed by its Photoelectron Spectrum

The photoelectron (PE.) spectrum of the title compound has been assigned by comparison with the PE. spectrum of cubane ( 2 ), aided by ab initio STO-3G calculations using localized molecular orbitals. On the basis of the information available to date, the most satisfactory orbital sequence, Koopmans theorem implied, is, in descending order of energy: band system : (2e″₂, 3e′₂ 2e″₁, 3e′₁); band system : 3a′₁ (2e′₂, 2a″₂); band : 2e′₁.(Sequence of orbitals in parenthesis uncertain).     

Computer-simulated ESR spectra of irradiated poly(olefin oxides)—effect of glass transition temperature on the ESR spectra

Investigations on the effects of γ irradiation on poly(methylene oxide) (POM) and poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) have been made employing electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy. The ESR sextet and doublet spectra, recorded for POM and PEO, respectively, on irradition in air at room temperature are broadened as the temperature is lowered and show a reversible change in line shape with temperature. The spectra are analyzed by computer simulation, employing Lorentzian line-shape functions and the least-squares method of total curve fitting. The component spectra are evaluated and are assigned. Superposition of the component quartet, triplet, and doublet spectra, corresponding to the radicals ?H₃, ?H₂O , and O?HO , respectively, together with a singlet due to the radicals ?CH₂ is considered to be the best fit to the observed spectrum for POM. The doublet spectrum recorded for PEO has been assigned to the radicals ?HO . The reversible broadening of the spectra has been associated with the mechanism of molecular motions around the glass transition temperatures of these polymers.     

Thermal decomposition of ammonia in shock waves

Concentration fluctuation effects for dynamics of polymer solutions

Dynamics of concentration fluctuation in a semidilute polymer theta-solution in the regime of entanglements is studied theoretically. A number of relaxation modes is predicted, the largest amplitude corresponding to a reptation mode with the time , where q is the wave vector, the static correlation length, R the size of a polymer coil. A mode with a “superlong” time N²q⁻² is predicted for . It is shown also that fluctuations of molecular field result in a substantial decrease of macromolecular curvilinear diffusion constant. The same effect gives rise to an increase of zero-shear viscosity of the solution; the dependence of viscosity on number of links per chain, N, is much stronger than N³ in the regime of high N.     

Rearrangement of the Radical Anions of 1,6-Bridged[10]Annulenes to Derivatives of 5H-Benzocycloheptene and Benzotropylium

The rearrangement products obtained upon reduction of 1,6-methano[10]-annulene ( 1 ) and its 11-halogen derivatives have been studied by ESR. and, in part, by ENDOR. spectroscopy. These derivatives comprise 11,11-difluoro- ( 2 ), 11-fluoro- ( 3 ), 11,11-dichloro- ( 4 ) and 11-bromo-1,6-methano[10]annulene ( 5 ), as well as the 2,5,7,10-tetradeuteriated compounds 2 -D₄ and 3 -D₄. The studies of the secondary products in question have been initiated by the finding that the radical anion of 11,11-dimethyltricyclo[4.4.1.0^1,6]undeca-2,4,7,9-tetraene ( 12 ), i.e., the prevailing valence isomer of 11,11-dimethyl-1,6-methano[10]annulene, undergoes above 163 K a rearrangement to the radical anion of 5,5-dimethylbenzocycloheptene ( 14 ). A rearrangement of this kind also occurs for the radical anion of the parent compound 1 , albeit only above 323 K. The lower reactivity of 1 \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ 1^{\ominus \atop \dot{}} $\end{document} relative to 12 \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ 1^{\ominus \atop \dot{}} $\end{document} is rationalized by the assumption that the first and rate determining step in the case of 1 \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ 1^{\ominus \atop \dot{}} $\end{document} is the valence isomerization to the radical anion of tricyclo[4.4.1.0^1,6]undeca-2,4,7,9-tetraene ( 1a ). In the reducing medium used in such reactions (potassium in 1,2-dimethoxyethane), the final paramagnetic product of 1 \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ 1^{\ominus \atop \dot{}} $\end{document} is not 5H-benzocycloheptene ( 15 ), but the benzotropylium radical dianion ( ). This product ( ) is also obtained from the radical anions of the halogen-substituted 1,6-methano[10]annulenes, 2 to 5 , in the same medium. The temperatures required for the conversion of 2 \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ 1^{\ominus \atop \dot{}} $\end{document} and 3 \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ 1^{\ominus \atop \dot{}} $\end{document} into lie above 293 and 243 K, respectively, whereas the short-lived species 4 \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ 1^{\ominus \atop \dot{}} $\end{document} and 5 \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ 1^{\ominus \atop \dot{}} $\end{document} undergo such a rearrangement already at 163 K. The stability of the four halogen-substituted radical anions thus decreases in the sequence 2 \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ 1^{\ominus \atop \dot{}} $\end{document} > 3 \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ 1^{\ominus \atop \dot{}} $\end{document} > 4 \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ 1^{\ominus \atop \dot{}} $\end{document} ≈ 5 \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ 1^{\ominus \atop \dot{}} $\end{document}. Replacement of 2 \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ 1^{\ominus \atop \dot{}} $\end{document} and 3 \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ 1^{\ominus \atop \dot{}} $\end{document} by 2 -D₄\documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ 1^{\ominus \atop \dot{}} $\end{document} and 3 -D₄\documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ 1^{\ominus \atop \dot{}} $\end{document}, respectively, leads to 1,4,5,8-tetradeuteriobenzotropylium radical dianion ( ). Experimental evidence and theoretical arguments indicate that the rearrangements in question are initiated by a loss of one ( 3 \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ 1^{\ominus \atop \dot{}} $\end{document} and 5 \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ 1^{\ominus \atop \dot{}} $\end{document}) or two ( 2 \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ 1^{\ominus \atop \dot{}} $\end{document} and 4 \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ 1^{\ominus \atop \dot{}} $\end{document}) halogen atoms. Such a reaction step must involve the intermediacy of the radical 19 · (see below) which rapidly isomerizes to the benzotropylium radical 16 :. Support for the transient existence of 19 . is provided by the thermolysis of 1,6-methano [10]annulene-11-t-butylperoxyester (6) which yields 16 . in a temperature dependent equilibrium with a mixture of its dimers ( 16 ₂). In the hitherto unreported ESR. spectra of 2\documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ 1^{\ominus \atop \dot{}} $\end{document}. and 3\documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ 1^{\ominus \atop \dot{}} $\end{document}, the coupling constants of the ring protons differ considerably from the analogous values for the radical anions of other 1,6-bridged [10]annulenes. These differences strongly suggest that the fluoro-substitution substantially affects the character of the singly occupied orbital.     

Thermal stability of alcohols

3,3-Dimethylbutanol-2 (3,3-DMB-ol-2) and 2,3-dimethylbutanol-2 (2,3-DMB-ol-2) have been decomposed in comparative-rate single-pulse shock-tube experiments. The mechanisms of the decompositions are The rate expressions are They lead to D(iC₃H₇? H) – D((CH₃)₂(OH) C? H) = 8.3 kJ and D(C₂H₅? H) – D(CH₃(OH) CH? H) = 24.2 kJ. These data, in conjunction with reasonable assumptions, give and The rate expressions for the decomposition of 2,3-DMB-1 and 3,3-DMB-1 are and      

A shock tube study of reactions of atomic oxygen with isocyanic acid

Reactions of atomic oxygen with isocyanic acid (HNCO) have been studied in incident and reflected shock wave experiments using HNCO/N₂O/Ar mixtures. Quantitative time-histories of the NH(X³Σ^?) and OH(X²Π_i) radicals were measured behind the shock waves using cw, narrow-linewidth laser absorption at 336 nm and 307 nm, respectively. The second-order rate coefficients of the reactions: and were determined from early-time NH and OH formation rates, with least-squares two-parameter fits of the results given by: and cm³ mol^?1 s^?1. The minimum and maximum rate constant factors (?,F) define the lower and upper uncertainty limits, respectively. An upper limit on the rate coefficient of was determined to be: .     

Kinetics and the mechanism of the thermal reaction between trifluoromethylhypofluorite and hexafluoropropene

The kinetics of the thermal reaction between CF₃OF and C₃F₆ have been investigated between 20 and 75°C. It is a homogeneous chain reaction of moderate length where the main product is a mixture of the two isomers 1-C₃F₇OCF₃ (68%) and 2-C₃F₇OCF₃ (32%). Equimolecular amounts of CF₃OOF₃ and C₆F₁₄ are formed in much smaller quantities. Inert gases and the reaction products have no influence on the reaction, whereas only small amounts of oxygen change the course of reaction and larger amounts produce explosions. The rate of reaction can be represented by eq. (I): The following mechanism explains the experimental results: Reaction (5) can be replaced by reactions (5a) and (5b), without changing the result: Reaction (4) is possibly a two-step reaction: For ∣CF₃ = ∣C₃F₆∣, ν_20°C = 36.8, ν_50°C = 24.0, and ν_70°C = 14.2.

Integral–geometrical consideration of density matrices

The ensemble N-representability problem for the k-th order reduced density matrix (k-RDM ) as well as the problem of reconstruction of the N-particle system density matrices (N-DM ) from a given k-RDM are studied. The spatial parts of the k-RDM expansion in terms of spin tensorial operators Θ are represented using particular values (at specially chosen ) of the Radon transform of the N-DM spatial parts (or their sums) ??_Nλ(x′ | x″) (here, is a d-plane in the n-space ?ⁿ of x = (x′, x″)), with n = 6N, d = 3 (N ? k), x′ ≡ (r′₁, ?, r′_N), x′ ≡ (r₁″, ?, r″_N ()). In this way, the problem is reduced to investigation of the properties of the functions . For a normalizable N – DM , it is proved that are bounded functions. The properties of implied by the N-DM permutational symmetry, Hermiticity, and positive definiteness are found. A formal procedure of reconstruction of all N-DM corresponding to a given k-RDM is proposed. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
