Ab initio investigation of the electron structure in bis-Cu+ acetylene and vinylidene complexes

[Cu(-C₂H₂)₂]⁺, [Cu(-CCH₂)₂]⁺ and [Cu(-C₂H₂) (-CCH₂]⁺ complexes have been studied by the ab initio double-zeta basis set method. It has been established that all calculated compounds are stable to decomposition into two C₂H₂ molecules and Cu⁺ cation and into one C₂H₂ molecules and the respective monocomplex. Calculation results suggest the possibility of intramolecular acetylene-vinylidene rearrangement in the coordination sphere of Cu⁺.

Determination of the surface acidity of solid catalysts

A novel method has been developed for determining the surface acidity of white, as well as deeply colored porous solids. The method, which was tested on Al₂O₃, SiO₂–MgO–Al₂O₃ and Fe₂O₃ catalysts, is based on the adsorption of pyridine or benzylamine on acidic sites and subsequent displacement of the adsorbed bases by n-butylamine. A linear correlation was found between the concentration of acidic sites on Al₂O₃ and Fe₂O₃ catalysts and their activity in the dehydration oftert-butyl alcohol.

Acid-base properties of supported vanadium oxide catalyst

Reduction of V₂O₅/Al₂O₃ and V₂O₅/silica-alumina produced Lewis acid sites which could strongly adsorb CO (heat of adsorption: 90 kJ/mol). Such strong acid sites were not formed in the cases of V₂O₅/SiO₂ and V₂O₅/MgO. V₂O₅ loaded on Al₂O₃ interacted with the basic sites of alumina but not with the acidic sites, while the V₂O₅ on silica-alumina interacted with the acidic sites of the silica-alumina and decreased its acidity.

Intramolecular and intermolecular hydrogen bonds with participation of the enol proton of the 2-acetylcyclopentane-1,3-dione molecule

A study has been made of the IR spectra of 2-acetylcyclopentane-1,3-dione (ACPD) in various solvents. This is a compound with an exocyclic enol group bonded to one of the -carbonyl groups by an intramolecular hydrogen bond (IAHB). The IAHB remains in the ACPD when it is dissolved in a nonpolar solvents such as CCl₄ or cyclohexane, or when a weak proton acceptor such as CH₃CN or dioxane is present; in polar basic-type solvents (pyridine, isoquinoline, triethylamine), the enol proton dissociates, forming an ion pair. In the presence of a strong proton acceptor such as hexametapol (HMP) or tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBAB), an equilibrium exists between the ACPD and its open form with an opened chelate ring in which the OH group is connected by an intermolecular hydrogen bond (IEHB) to the acceptor. According to¹³C NMR spectroscopic data, dissolution of ACPD in CD₃COOD also gives the open form of ACPD, which is stabilized primarily by an IEHB between the COOD groups of the solvent and the C=O groups of the ACPD. By the method of competing equilibria in the IR spectroscopic version, the energies of the H-bonds involving the ACPD have been determined (values in kcal/ mole): H_IEHB with HMP=–11.7 ± 0.3; H_IEHB with TBAB=–10.9 ± 0.3; H_IAHB in ACPD=–6.6 ± 0.4.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 6, pp. 1358–1363, June, 1991.     

Thermische Zersetzung des Lithiumhexacyanoferrats(III)

Zusammenfassung Die thermische Zersetzung von Lithiumhexacyanoferrat (III) in Luft führt in drei Temperaturbereichen, d.h. zwischen 250 und 400°, 500 und 650° und 925 und 1000° zur Bildung ferromagnetischer Produkte. Durch Röntgendiffraktionsuntersuchung und magnetische Messungen wurde bewiesen, daß im ersten Temperaturbereich-Fe₂O₃ die für die ferromagnetischen Eigenschaften der Zersetzungsprodukte verantwortliche Phase ist, während in den anderen Bereichen diese Eigenschaften durch Lithiumferrit der Formel Li_0.5Fe_2.5O₄ verursacht werden.

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.

ESR spectroscopic investigation of steric and polar factors in the addition of radicals to unsaturated compounds

The rate constants of the addition of CCl₃CH₂ClCH₃(R⁶) radicals to -methyl-styrene, styrene, methyl methacrylate, methyl acrylate, and acrylonitrile and of CCl₃CH₂(CH₃)₂(R⁷) radicals to styrene, methyl acrylate, and acrylonitrile were determined by ESR spectroscopy. It was shown that the radicals R⁶ and R⁷ possess approximately equal reactivity in addition to unsaturated compounds, despite the difference in the donor-acceptor properties of the substituents at the vinyl group. In a comparison of the reactivity of radicals R⁶ and R⁷ with the reactivity of radicals CCl₃CH₂H₂(R¹), CCl₃CH₂HCH₃(R³), CCl₃CH₂HCl(R⁴), and ClCH₂CH₂Cl₂(R⁵) [1] in addition reactions, it was shown that polar and steric effects of the substituents situated in the -position to the radical site of the above-mentioned radicals, as well as the donor-acceptor properties of the substituents at the vinyl group in the unsaturated compounds, lead to appreciable changes in reactivity.A.

Effect of H-bond formation on the electronic spectra of some azo compounds derived from 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole

The UV-visible spectra of some azo compounds derived from 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole and various active-methylene or active-hydrogen compounds have been investigated in organic solvents of different polarities. The spectral bands obtained are assigned to the possible electronic transitions. It was found that the azo compounds containing the acetylacetone moiety exist mainly in the hydrazone form, while those containing ethylcyanoacetate, or -naphthol substituents exist in an azo hydrazone tautomeric equilibrium in solution. The extra visible band exhibited in the spectra ofo-hydroxyazo compound is assigned to an intermolecular electronic transition. The spectral shifts observed in the various organic solvents are discussed on the basis of the solute-solvent interaction through the formation of hydrogen bonds with different species. The variation of the absorbance with pH is employed to determine the acid dissociation constants.     

Experimental and theoretical study of the basicity of azoles and their analogs

The thermodynamic ionization constants of 30 imidazole, pyrazole, triazole, and thiazole derivatives and their structural analogs were determined by potentiometric titration in acetonitrile. The effect of individual structural factors on the basicity of the azole molecules is discussed. It is demonstrated that the best theoretical basicity index is the magnitude of the electrostatic energy of interaction () of the unshared pair of the nitrogen atom being protonated with the system of charges. The values were calculated by means of the MO self-consistent-field (MO SCF) method with the Pariser-Parr-Pople approximation and by the simple Hückel method. The pK_a- correlation equations obtained make it possible to predict the pK_a values of azoles with an average accuracy of 0.5 pK_a units for acetonitrile solutions and 0.3 units for aqueous solutions.Communication XI of the series Basicity and Structure of Azomethines and Their Structural Analogs.

Some peculiarities of π—π interactions between tetraphenylporphine metal complexes and aromatic solvents

The — complexes of metal tetraphenylporphinates with benzene, toluene, and xylenes were characterized by means of thermogravimetry. The ability of metalloporphyrins to form — complexes with certain -donor molecules depends largely on the -acceptor capacity of the macroheterocycle, and on the peculiarities of the metal—porphyrin coordinative linkage. Stoichiometry, energy parameters, and thermal stability of the - complexes of metalloporphyrins with various aromatic ligands are determined to a great extent by the molecular structure of solvents.Translated fromIzyestiya Akademii Nauk.
