High-resolution translational-energy spectroscopy (up to 0.1 eV) has been carried out on 8 V beams of NO? and NO2?. Several features in the spectrum of NO4 are assigned to the transitions within the triplet manifold of this ion. The observed transitions originate in several excited electronic states, indicating long lifetimes (> 10 μs) for the states involved. Two electronic transitions in NO2' have been observed at low energies which are attributed to excitations to the first two excited states of this ion. 相似文献
Chiral ansa-ethylene-bis(indenyl)-metal complexes, EBI-MX2, are useful pre-catalysts for a wide variety of reactions, including hydrogenations, hydrosilylations, and polymerization reactions. In order to immobilize these complexes onto heterogeneous supports, a new methodology was developed to introduce functional anchors to the ethylene-bis(indenyl) ligand, EBI. This was accomplished by selective alkylation of indene to form toluene-4-sulfonic acid 2-(3H-inden-1-yl)-ethyl ester, which was then used to alkylate 6-bromoindene. The selective introduction of an aryl bromide then undergoes coupling reactions with aryl borates via the Suzuki coupling to efficiently introduce an alkenyl or alcohol, functional anchor in a simple four step synthesis. 相似文献
A streaming potential analyzer has been used to investigate the effect of solution chemistry on the surface charge of four commercial reverse osmosis and nanofiltration membranes. Zeta potentials of these membranes were analyzed for aqueous solutions of various chemical compositions over a pH range of 2 to 9. In the presence of an indifferent electrolyte (NaCl), the isoelectric points of these membranes range from 3.0 to 5.2. The curves of zeta potential versus solution pH for all membranes display a shape characteristic of amphoteric surfaces with acidic and basic functional groups. Results with salts containing divalent ions (CaCl2, Na2SO4, and MgSO4) indicate that divalent cations more readily adsorb to the membrane surface than divalent anions, especially in the higher pH range. Three sources of humic acid, Suwannee River humic acid, peat humic acid, and Aldrich humic acid, were used to investigate the effect of dissolved natural organic matter on membrane surface charge. Other solution chemistries involved in this investigation include an anionic surfactant (sodium dodecyl sulfate) and a cationic surfactant (dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide). Results show that humic substances and surfactants readily adsorb to the membrane surface and markedly influence the membrane surface charge. 相似文献
The structure of 7-norbornadienyllithium, a homoantiaromatic carbanion, is investigated with the semiempirical MNDO molecular orbital method. Alkene out-of-plane bendings persist even when the metal is fully solvated. The structural integrity of the monomer is retained in the dimer and solvated dimer; previously proposed dimers are inconsistent with lithium bonding and are not minimum energy structures on the MNDO hypersurface. 相似文献
A series of novel hexaaryl diazatrienes 5 ("nitrile ylide dimers") were synthesized directly from the corresponding diaryl ketimines 12 and dichlorotoluenes 13 in a facile one-pot synthesis. The carbene character of the nitrile ylides was investigated by varying the substituents on the aromatic ring adjacent to the carbene center. The isolation of the corresponding carbene dimers as stable crystalline materials with absorption maxima (lambda(max)) from 363 to 422 nm was shown to be promoted by the absence of strongly electron-withdrawing substituents. The crystal structures indicate that the E-isomers were isolated when phenyl, 3-methylphenyl, and 3-chlorophenyl substituents are present at the carbene carbon; the Z-isomer was isolated when the more sterically hindered 2,4,6-trimethylphenyl substituent (Mes) is present. The (1)H NMR spectra of the E-isomers demonstrate the nonequivalence of the aromatic rings, in which two of the aromatic rings of the imine moiety are pseudoaxial and the remaining aromatic rings are pseudoequatorial. The reactions proceed via the intermediate nitrile ylides 1 generated by the base-promoted 1,1-elimination of HCl from the intermediate chloroimine 14. The nitrile ylide was also generated by 1,3-elimination of HCl from the imidoyl chloride 18, confirming common pathways via the nitrile ylide as the dimer products obtained from these different routes were identical. The strongly electron-withdrawing 4-nitrophenyl substituent promotes the linear carbanion character of the 1,3-dipole and no dimer is formed. 相似文献
The use of temperature as a variable in liquid chromatography enables the facile alteration of eluotropic strength without the need to change solvent composition. The ability to change eluotropic strength via temperature alone means that thermal gradients can be used to mimic the effects of solvent gradients but without many of the unwanted effects of changes in solvent composition. Here we illustrate the use of thermal gradients as a means of controlling chromatographic separations using either constant flow or, with the flow rate increased to maintain isobaric conditions, constant pressure, performed using columns packed with 1.7 μm particles. A model is described that can be used to used to predict flow, pressure and temperature under gradient conditions. Practical experimental factors such as the need for post column cooling and the use of frit restrictors in order to obtain optimum results are described. 相似文献
In its continuing quest for smaller length scales, the electronics industry plans to introduce 157 nm as the next lithographic wavelength. Accordingly, there is a pressing need to develop photoresists that are more transparent, and pellicles that are both more transparent and more durable. With the advent and popularization of time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT), we now have a practical quantum chemical method for calculating excitation energies and transition moments in the vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) which can greatly assist in the scouting of highly transparent materials. We have performed TD-DFT calculations for a broad variety of fluorinated molecules and we will report calculated VUV photoabsorption spectra for a large family of model fluorohexanes. These calculations, which span a range from 1-fluorohexane to CH3CF2CF2CF2CF2CH3, illustrate some of the principles one may use to design low absorption polymeric materials. 相似文献
We report on the spectroscopy, electrochemistry, and linkage isomerization in a family of [Ru(tpy)(L2)(dmso)](z)()(+) complexes (tpy is 2,2':6',2' '-terpyridine, dmso is dimethyl sulfoxide, and L2 is a variable ligand: 2,2'-bipyridine (bpy), 2-picolinate (pic), N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethylenediamine (tmen), acetylacetonate (acac), or malonate (mal)). The identity of this bidentate ligand serves to tune the absorption maxima (lambda(max) = 419-502 nm) and the reduction potential (E(1/2) = 1.67 to 0.82 V) of these complexes. Photochemical and electrochemical studies show that S-->O and O-->S linkage isomerization may be triggered through an electron transfer mechanism, resulting in dramatic shifts in both the absorption maxima and the reduction potential (for [Ru(tpy)(pic)(dmso)](+) S-bonded, 421 nm, 1.38 V vs Ag/AgCl; O-bonded, 527 nm, 1.38 V vs Ag/AgCl). Certain of these complexes [Ru(tpy)(acac)(dmso)](+) and [Ru(tpy)(mal)(dmso)] do not undergo isomerization. These results are discussed in the context of electron transfer triggered isomerization. 相似文献
Reactions of Rh6(CO)16 with bis(diphenylphosphino)methane (dppm) gave Rh6(CO)14(dppm), Rh6(CO)12(dppm)2, or Rh6(CO)10(dppm)3, depending upon the reaction conditions. Rh4(CO)10(dppm) may be obtained from the reaction of Rh4(CO)12 with dppm, but this derivative rapidly decomposes in solution to give Rh4(CO)8(dppm)2, Rh6(CO)14(dppm), and Rh6(CO)12(dppm)2. Ir4(CO)10(dppm) and Ir4(CO)8(dppm)2 have also been prepared, and their structures are discussed on the basis of infrared and 31P NMR spectroscopic data. 相似文献
The reactivity of the bifunctionalized ligand NC(Br)N-I 1 [IC(6)H(2)(CH(2)NMe(2))(2)-3,5-Br-4] has been studied as a versatile synthon for organic and/or organometallic synthesis. Chemoselective metalation (M = Pd, Pt, Li) at the C(aryl)-I or C(aryl)-Br bonds was achieved by choosing the appropriate metal precursors. In this way a series of Pt(II) and Pd(II) complexes were prepared that have a second functional group available for further reactions. These Pt(II) and Pd(II) complexes were subjected to a wide range of organic and organometallic reactions, revealing the remarkable stability of their M-C sigma-bond and opening an easy route for the synthesis of mono- and (hetero)bimetallic building blocks. The scope of the chemistry of such building blocks shows that they are good candidates for use in the synthesis of dendrimers, bioorganometallic systems, or polymetallic materials. The X-ray crystal structures of the most representative complexes (2, 3a, 19, 20, and 24) are also reported. 相似文献
