Physicochemical studies on hydrophobic PEO‐PPO‐PEO triblock copolymer micelles in SDS micellar environment

The shape, size, aggregation, hydration, and correlation times of water insoluble PEO‐PPO‐PEO triblock copolymer micelles with sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS) micelles were investigated using transport studies and dynamic light scattering technique. From the conductance of micellar solutions of the polymer in 25 mM SDS and 5 mM NaCl, the hydration of polymer micelles were determined using the principle of obstruction of electrolyte migration by the polymer. The asymmetry of the micellar particles of polymer and polymer‐SDS mixed micellar systems in 5 mM NaCl and their average axial ratios were calculated using intrinsic viscosity and hydration data obeying Simha–Einstein equation. Hydration number and micellar sizes were variable with temperature. The shape of the polymer micelles has been ellipsoidal rather than spherical. The micellar volume, hydrodynamic radius, radius of gyration, diffusional coefficients as well as translational, rotational and effective correlation times have been calculated from the absolute values of the axes. The partial molal volume of polymer micelles has also been determined and its comparison with the molar volume of pure polymer suggested a volume contraction due to immobilization of the water phase by the hydrophilic head groups of the polymer. The thermodynamic activation parameters for viscous flow favor a more ordered water structure around polymer micelles at higher temperatures. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Mittlere Schwingungsamplituden einiger linearerXY 2-Interhalogenanionen

The mean amplitudes of vibration of ICl₂ ^–, IBr₂ ^–, BrCl₂ ^– and ClF₂ ^– have been calculated, from known spectroscopic data, in the temperature range between O° and 1000°K. Also generalized mean-square amplitudes and values for theBastiansen—Morino shrinkage effect are reported. The results are briefly discussed.

Die IR-Spektren der Phasen ABTe3O8 (A = Fe,In, Sc; B = Nb,Ta) und UTe3O9

I.R. Spectra of the Phases A B Te₃O₈ (A = Fe, In, Sc; B = Nb, Ta) and UTe₃O₉ The infrared spectra of the title compounds have been recorded and discussed in comparison to formerly investigated M^IVTe₃O₈ phases. The spectrum of UTe₃O₉ (synthetic cliffordite) confirms the presence of uranyl groups and the structural relation of this compound to the fluorite.     

Iodine(V) reagents in organic synthesis. Part 3. New routes to heterocyclic compounds via o-iodoxybenzoic acid-mediated cyclizations: generality, scope, and mechanism

The discovery and development of the o-iodoxybenzoic acid (IBX) reaction with certain unsaturated N-aryl amides (anilides) to form heterocycles are described. The application of the method to the synthesis of delta-lactams, cyclic urethanes, hydroxy amines, and amino sugars among other important building blocks and intermediates is detailed. In addition to the generality and scope of this cyclization reaction, this article describes a number of mechanistic investigations suggesting a single electron transfer from the anilide functionality to IBX and implicating a radical-based mechanism for the reaction.

Berechnung von mittleren Schwingungsamplituden einiger tetraedrischer Moleküle und Ionen nach der Methode der charakteristischen Schwingungen

Mean amplitudes of vibration of a series of tetrahedralXY ₄ molecules and ions (hydrides, halides, oxides and oxoanions) have been calculated using the “Method of the Characteristic Vibrations” ofA. Müller. The results indicate that this method leads to very good values for most of the investigated species, and especially in the cases of highM _X/M_Y mass ratio.

Polarized infrared and Raman spectra of CsHSeO4 and CsDSeO4 single crystals

The polarized absorption infrared spectra of CsHSeO₄ and CsDSeO₄ single crystals and polarized Raman spectra of the CsHSeO₄ single crystal were measured at room temperature. The polarization features of the internal vibrations of the HSeO⁻₄ ions are predicted on the basis of the X-ray structure assuming strong couping between the vibrations of the two shortest Se---O bonds and an intermediate Se---O bond. The bending methods γOH and δOH of a hydrogen bond appear at 805 cm⁻ and 1258 cm⁻¹, respectively. The νOH absorption has the ABC structure due to Fermi resonance of νOH with the overtones of the δOH and γOH vibrations. A similar shape of the νOH band is observed in the Raman spectra. The νOD absorption has a different shape from that of νOH. Intra-chain coupling was observed for the νOH and νOD vibrations.
