EPR study of the alimemazine cation radical

The EPR spectrum of alimemazine cation radicals (ALMZ⁺) in a perchlorate single crystal has been studied at 293 K. Since strong exchange interactions between the radicals did not allow the determination of the hyperfine splitting constants, the spectrum of an ALMZ⁺ solution, frozen at 77 K, was also studied. The results, checked by computer simulation, indicate orthorhombic symmetry of the g(2.0075, 2.0059, 2.0023) and hfs (A=3.6G; A=2.0G; A=15.6G) tensors.

Étude en RMN du 13C de Dérivés de la Pipéridone-4 Stériquement Encombrés et des Oximes Correspondantes

The regiospecific differences in chemical shifts caused by the oximino group, such as Δδ as Δδ parameters, are useful to estimate conformational distortions directly from ¹³C spectra. Particularly, twist-boat conformations resulting from oximation of sterically hindered piperidones are unambiguously detected.     

A tropisomerism: Racemization barrier of 13-substituted oxyprotoberberines

The two possible conformations of 13-R-substituted oxyprotoberberines are enantiomeric. The racemization barriers are determined for three of these compounds (R=OMe, OCOMe, OCOPh) using variable temperature ¹H NMR. It was found that ΔG = 39.0 kJ mol^?1 when R = OMe, ΔG = 63.5 kJ mol^?1 when R = OCOMe and ΔG = 63.7 kJ mol^?1 when R = OCOPh. When R = H, however, the barrier is well below 35 kJ mol^?1, suggesting that one of the factors influencing these racemization barriers (as in 2,2′-bridged biphenyl systems) is steric in origin. Such low barriers to racemization do not allow easy handling of the enantiomers after resolution, but could allow better complexation of the one desired enantiomer to the receptor.     

33S chemical shifts and line widths of selected sulphones,sulphoximides, sulphimides,sulphides and sulphonium ions

The ³³S chemical shifts, δ, and the line widths of selected sulphones, sulphoximides, sulphimides, sulphides and sulphonium ions were measured at 23.009 MHz. δ increased with decreasing electronic charge on sulphur. The line width varied from 3–10 ppm for sulphones to 400 ppm for sulphonium ions. The higher geometrical flexibility of five-membered ring sulphones with respect to the six-membered ring compounds was reflected in the variations of δ with methyl substitution. Open-chain sulphoximides are shielded with respect to the corresponding sulphones, whereas open-chain sulphimides are deshielded with respect to the corresponding sulphoximides.     

The role of d orbitals in tetrahedral hybrid orbitals of oxy-ions

The hybrid orbitals of tetrahedral oxy-ions containing some d character have been calculated by maximum overlap method. The d characters of hybrid orbitals increase in the order of SiO, PO, SO, ClO, and decrease in order of GeO, AsO, SeO, BrO. The bond strengths are also obtained for these ions. The hybrid Orbital of VO, CrO, and MnO are of the type d³s as the result of calculation.

Spectroscopic studies on N,N-dimethylamides—V Amide-rotational barriers from iterative total line shape analysis of N,N-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxamides

Amide-rotational barriers in some 2-substituted N,N-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxamides in CDCl₃ as a solvent (0·25 M) were obtained with an iterative total line shape analysis. N,N-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxamide shows a barrier ΔG = 16·72 ± 0·01 kcal/mole. Para-nitro substitution in (trans)-2-phenyl-N,N-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxamide raises the barrier ΔG from 17·08 ± 0·01 to 17·40 ± 0·02 kcal/mole.     

Nuclear magnetic resonance studies of internal rotation—III Rotational barriers in META- and PARA-substituted N,N-dimethylcinnamamides

The rotational barriers about the C? N bond of eight m- and p-substituted N, N-dimethyl cinnamamides have been determined by the iterative total line shape NMR method. The ΔG values have been correlated with the substituent constants σ, σⁿ and σ⁺. By comparison of the results with literature data, some conclusions about the accuracy of the barrier determination as well as the transmittance of polar effects in conjugated amides have been drawn.     

The proton affinity and the structure of protonated species of methylsilane

An ab initio LCAO-MO-SCF calculation was made on the proton affinity (PA ) of methylsilane (CH₃SiH₃) by using STO -3G, MIDI -1, and MIDI -1* basis sets. Three types of protonated methylsilane are taken into account, and their geometrical parameters are optimized. The calculated PA of CH₃SiH₃ is 160.5 kcal/mol, which exceeds that of SiH₄ by 11.5 kcal/mol. The protonated species (I) which refers to Si—C bond protonation is shown to be most favorable, and to be a weak σ-complex between CH₄ and SiH. Other two species are also σ-complexes between H₂ molecule and SiH₃CH or CH₃SiH, and similar to CH, SiH, GeH, and C₂H.     

Zur Kristallstruktur von OMF (M = Sb,Ru, Pt,Au)

Carbon-13 n.m.r. study of 31P?13C spin–spin coupling constants in dichloro- and monochloro-vinyl phosphate derivatives

Carbon-13 chemical shifts and J(PC) coupling constants of 29 vinyl phosphate derivatives are presented. In the series of compounds (R₁O)₂P(O)OC¹(R)?C²X₂ (where 3 in R indicates the first carbon of the R₂ substituent) large differences were found between the ³J(P, O, C-1, C-3) and ³J(P, O, C-1, C-2) coupling constants of the chlorinated (X?CI) and the unsubstituted (X?H) derivatives. A possible explanation of this phenomenon is given on the basis of Jameson's s bond character theory. Strong stereospecificity of ³J(P, O, C-1, C-3) coupling constants was observed in the series of compounds (R₁O)₂ P(O)OC¹(R)?C²HR₃. Coupling constants varied between 3.2–4.9 Hz in the E isomers, while peaks could not be resolved in the Z isomers. The ³J(P, O, C-1, C-2) coupling constants were regularly 20–30% greater in the Z than in the E isomers.     

Atomic integrals containing rrr with λ, μ, ν ≥ −2

In this paper, the efficient evaluation of the atomic integrals I =∫rrrrrre^{?αr1?βr2?γr3}dτ with one or two factors r is described. These integrals are necessary for a lower-bound calculation for Li-like systems using the method of variance minimization or Temple's formula. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Ab initio MO calculations on the stability of the CF,PF, SF,and MoF ions with the F1s core hole

For the CF, PF, SF, and MoF ions appearing after the F1s photoionization, the possibility of dissociation has been shown by the ab initio MO LCAO method within the Z + 1 core equivalent model. According to the calculations, the decay channel AF → AF + F(1s¹2p⁶) is energetically open for the ions. So the interpretation of the gas-phase emission FKα spectra, in which the bands are assigned to the discrete transition energies, can be unacceptable for these ions. The conditions and signs of such failure are discussed.

A B^IIB □M O₂₄ with A^II, B^II = Ba, Sr, Ca and M^VI = U, W Perovskites of type Ba₈B^IIB₂^III□UO₂₄ show polymorphic phase transformations of order disorder type. An 1:1 ordered orthorhombic HT form is transformed into a higher ordered LT modification with a fourfold cell content (four formula units Ba₈B^IIB□U₄O₂₄), compared to cubic 1:1 ordered perovskites A₂BMO₆. In the series Ba₈BaB□W₄O₂₄ and Sr₈SrB□W₄O₂₄ different ordering phenomena are observed. In comparison with 1:1 ordered cubic perovskites A₂BMO₆, the cell contains eight formula units AB^IIB□W₄O₂₄. The higher ordered cells with U^VI and W^VI are face centered, which has its origin in an ordering of cationic vacancies.     

19F-NMR-spektroskopischer Nachweis und Berechnung der statistischen Bildung der gemischten Clusteranionen [(Mo6BrCl)F]2−, n = 0 – 8

¹⁹F NMR Spectroscopic Evidence and Calculation of the Statistical Formation of Mixed Cluster Anions [(Mo₆Br Cl )F ]^2?, n = 0 – 8 The complete system of the innersphere mixed clusters (Mo₆BrCl)⁴⁺ is formed by exchange of innersphere bound Clⁱ against outersphere bound Br^a on tempering the solid [(Mo₆Cl)Br] at 500°C for 16 h. After conversion with conc. HCl into (H₃O)₂[(Mo₆BrCl)Cl] and precipitation of the outer Cl^a with AgBF₄ in ethanol, treatment with tetrabutylammonium(TBA)fluoride yields (TBA)₂ [(Mo₆BrCl)F], a mixture of 22 different species. According to the sets of chemical equivalent fluorine atoms in total 55 ¹⁹F nmr signals are expected, which are really observed in the high resolution 1D-¹⁹F-nmr spectrum. Using increments of chemical shifts, peak intensities and multiplet structures as well as the 2D-¹⁹F/¹⁹F-COSY spectrum the complete and unambiguous assignment of all resonances is achieved. From the measured integral intensities the distribution of the different compounds is determined, revealing statistical formation of the geometrical isomers.     

Applications of NMR spectroscopy of chiral association complexes. 6. rotation about the C(sp2)—C(aryl) bond in 2,6-disubstituted pivalophenones

For the investigation of the barrier to rotation about the C(sp²)—C(aryl) bond in non-planar pivalophenones five derivatives were prepared and their ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra assigned. Methyl and bromine groups in the 3-position have opposite substituent effects on the chemical shifts of the ¹H and ¹³C signals of Me² and Me⁴. The ΔG values were determined from the coalescence temperatures of the signal splittings generated by the addition of optically active shift reagents. The accuracy of this method was estimated by using different signals of 3-bromo-2,4,6-trimethylpivalophenone and by computer simulation of the line shape. A buttressing effect of substituents in the aromatic ring was observed. A change of the twist angle by the substitution of methyl by bromine in the tert-butyl group was suggested in order to explain the changes in ΔG and the chemical shifts.     

Charge stripping C

Measurements of the translational energy loss accompanying the charge-stripping reactions M⁺+N→M²⁺+N+e⁻ and M²⁺+N→M³⁺+N+e⁻ have been performed for C, C and C, C respectively. The energy nesessary to remove the second electron from Buckminsterfullerene was determined, Q=IE(C→C=12.25±0.5 eV.     

19F-NMR-spektroskopischer Nachweis und statistische Untersuchung zur Bildung der gemischten Clusteranionen [(Mo6ICl)F]2−, n = 0–7, und Darstellung von (TBA)2[(Mo6I)F]

¹⁹F NMR Spectroscopic Evidence and Calculation of the Statistical Formation of Mixed Cluster Anions [(Mo₆I Cl )F ]^2?, n = 0–7, and Preparation of (TBA)₂[(Mo₆I )F ] The octa-μ₃-iodo-hexafluoro-hexamolybdate(2?)ion [(Mo₆I)F]^2? is prepared for the first time. The system of the 21 innersphere mixed clusters (Mo₆ICl)⁴⁺, n = 0–7 is formed by exchange of innersphere bound Clⁱ against outersphere bound I^a on tempering solid [(Mo₆Cl)I] at 400°C. Prolonged tempering leads to increasing average n values of the mixture, which is converted into the tetrabutylammonium salt (TBA)₂[(Mo₆ICl)F]. Using increments of chemical shifts and integral peak intensities the 54 ¹⁹F-nmr signals of the 21 species (compound n = 8 is absent) are assigned and confirmed by the 2 D-¹⁹F/¹⁹F-COSY spectrum. From the measured intensities the distribution of the different compounds is determined and proves significant deviation from statistical occupation, revealing the preference of isomers with iodine atoms occupying edges of the innersphere cube and discrimination of those sharing diagonals of the faces. Moreover all compounds with n = 3 and 4 are present overaverage in comparison to the others.     

Subgroup 4 (Ti,Zr, Hf) derivatives of Cobalt Carbonyls

Bimetallic and trimetallic compounds containing unsupported bonds of subgroup 4 metals (M = Ti, Zr, Hf) and Co were prepared by hydride elimination (A) from RM derivatives (R¹ = PhCH₂; RN; R² = Me, Et)) and by salt elimination (B) from RMX (X = Cl, Br; R.¹ = PhCH₂, RN and R³O; R³= i-Pr, n-Bu)) by reaction with HCo(CO)₄ and Na[Co(CO)₄], respectively. Compounds RMCo(CO)₄ with R¹ = PhCH₂, RM[Co(CO)₄]₂ R.¹ = PhCH₂, were prepared both by methods A and B, while (R³O)₄-n Ti[Co(Co)₄]n (n = 1, 2) compounds were obtained by reaction B. Several tertiary phosphine and phosphite derivatives of the former two types were obtained by substitution of a carbonyl group by PR ligand or by A type reaction of HCo(CO)³(PR with RM compounds.
