Ion implanted species dependence in silicon oxidation

The effect on thermal oxidation of implantation of the alkali species Li, Na, K, Rb and Cs has been studied. A correlation is found with the atomic and ionic radii and atomic masses of the implanted species, the larger ions leading to greater oxidation. We propose that the implanted species may affect the oxide plasticity and that this may be the controlling factor which determines the degree of oxidation.     

The composition of the evolved gases from the thermal decomposition of certain metal sulfates

By the use of TG—MS, the thermal dissociation of anhydrous CuSO₄ and Al₂(S0₄)₃ was found to proceed according to the reactions:

followed by the reactions:

No SO₃ was indicated in the dissociation of alunite. The sulfate ion appears to dissociate by at least two different mechanisms although the parameter which controls the mechanisms has not been elucidated.     

Mass spectrometry of hop compounds—III. Mass spectra of substituted 1,3-cyclopentanediones derived from hop constituents

The mass spectra of isohumulones (IV, V), tetrahydroisocohumulones (VI, VII), tetrahydroisohumulones (VIII) neohydroisocohumulones (XI, XII) cohumulinic acid (III), lupuloxinic acid (XV), humulinone (XIV) and related compounds are described. Ions which appear to be diagnostic for particular structures are discussed.     

The spatial distribution of poly(methyloctylsiloxane) deposited by solvent evaporation in the pores of HPLC silica particles

Summary Poly(methyloctylsiloxane) (PMOS), sorbed into the pores of HPLC silica particles by solvent evaporation, can function as a useful stationary phase for reversed-phase chromatography. The present work addresses the question of how the PMOS is distributed in the pores. Measurements of the surface area (BET, N₂) of a series of partially loaded samples (0–40% PMOS, m/m) using a typical batch of HPLC silica (10 μm irregular particles with 6 nm pores) show that the specific surface area of the samples decreases linearly with the specific loading (mass of PMOS per gram of silica). This result is not consistent with a “film” model in which the PMOS is deposited uniformly on the pore walls, but is consistent with a model in which long segmented “plugs” of PMOS are deposited within the pore system.

Migratory-insertion reactions involving the thiocarbonyl ligand. dihapto-thioacyl complexes from the rearrangement of arylthiocarbonyl complexes of osmium(II). Structure of Os(η2-CSR)(η1-O2CCF3)(CO)(PPh3)2

Reaction of HgR₂ with OsHCl(CS)(PPh₃)₃ yields red, five-coordinate, OsRCl-(CS)(PPh₃)₂ (R = p-tolyl). From this have been derived the compounds OsRX(CS)(PPh₃)₂ with X = Br, I, S₂CNEt₂, O₂CMe, O₂CCF₃. These compounds add an additional ligand, MeCN, CO or CNR to form colourless, six coordinate arylthiocarbonyl complexes, which undergo migratory-insertion reactions to form red, dihapto-thioacyl complexes. The crystal structure of a representative example, Os(η²-CSR)(η¹-O₂CCF₃)(CO)PPh₃)₂ has been determined. The red equant crystals are orthorhombic, space group P2₁2₁2₁, a 11.584(1), b 19.184(2), c 18.90(1) Å, V 4199 ų, Z  4. The structure was solved by conventional heavy-atom methods and refined by full-matrix least-squares employing anisotropic thermal parameters for all non-hydrogen atoms except the carbon atoms of the triphenylphosphines. The final R factor is 0.057 for 2868 observed reflections.The coordination geometry in the monomeric complex is that of an octahedron distorted by the constraints of the ligands. The triphenyl phosphine ligands are mutually trans; the equatorial plane contains carbonyl, monohapto-trifluoroacetate, and dihapto-thioacyl ligands. Bond distances and angles are OsP 2.405, 2.407(4) Å; POsP 173.9(1)°; OsCO 1.83(2) Å; Os-O (trifluoroacetate) 2.206(11) Å; OsC (thioacyl) 1.91(2); OsS 2.513(6); CS 1.72 Å. The CS bond length implies a reduction in bond order from 2.0 to approx. 1.5 upon coordination to the metal.The η²-thioacyl ligand in Os(η²-CSR)Cl(CNR)(PPh³)₂ is methylated with methyl triflate and further reaction with LiCl produces the thiocarbene complex OsCl₂(C[SMe]R)(CNR)(PPh₃)₂.
