One-step preparation of highly concentrated well-stable gold colloids by direct mix of polyelectrolyte and HAuCl4 aqueous solutions at room temperature

Highly concentrated, well-stable gold colloids can be prepared directly from an amine-bearing polyelectrolyte-HAuCl4 aqueous solution at room temperature. It is found that increasing molar ratio of polyelectrolyte to gold leads to increasing particle size. UV-vis spectra, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS) were used to characterize the products thus formed.     

Etude dilatométrique de la cristallisation et de la transformation polymorphe du polybutène — 1 isotactique

Résumé On étudie par dilatométrie la cinétique de cristallisation et de la transformation III de trois échantillons de polybutène-1 isotactique. On montre que la cristallisation de l'échantillon fondu est initiée par des germes hétérogènes, dont le nombre varie d'un échantillon à l'autre. La vitesse de cristallisation varie linéairement avec l'inverse du degré de surfusion (T ^–1), sa variation thermique étant indépendante de l'échantillon. On met en évidence l'importance de la cristallisation secondaire, qui suit le processus autocatalytique. D'autre part, la transformation III, après refroidissement, est initiée par des germes apparaissant sporadiquement dans les fibrilles lamellaires de la texture sphérulitique, et elle se propage le long de celles-ci. D'une manière générale la vitesse de transformation isotherme dépend de l'histoire thermique: on examine ici l'influence de la température de cristallisation primitive et celle d'une trempe préalable aux basses températures. Cette dernière engendre un grand nombre de germes, dont la fraction qui résiste à une élévation de température, accélère la transformation. On discute, enfin, les trois volumes de référence déterminant la cristallinité des échantillons dans les deux formes. On propose une nouvelle échelle de cristallinité, dont la cohérence est confirmée par l'invariance des valuers des coefficients de dilatation des deux formes de cristaux, déduites de la dilatation des échantillons obtenus après trempe ou cristallisation isotherme à haute température.

Summary Kinetics of crystallization and transformation III are investigated dilatometrically with three isotactic Polybutene-1 samples. Primary autocatalytic crystallization from the supercooled melt is initiated by a heterogeneous nucleation process, the number of nucle being determined by the previous temperature of the melt. The rate of crystallization depends linearly on the reciprocal of the degree of supercooling (T ^–1) and its thermal variation is identical for the three samples investigated. The importance of the secondary cristallization, which follows the primary process, is emphasized. On the other hand, the transformation III, which occurs after cooling the semicristalline sample in the room temperature range, is initiated by nuclei appearing sporadically in the lamellar ribbons of the spherulitic texture and they grow linearly along these ribbons. In general the isothermal rate of transformation depends on the previous thermal history of the sample: the influence of the cristallization temperature and that of quenching to low temperatures are systematically investigated. Such a quenching prior to transformation generates a great number of nuclei, a fraction of which persiste even at higher temperatures and increases the rate of transformation. Reference volumes, which determine the cristallinity of PB-1 in its two forms, are discussed. A new cristallinity scale is proposed, the coherence of which is confirmed by the constant values of the expansion coefficients of the two cristalline forms, calculated from the actuel thermal expansion of the semicristalline material, the cristallinity of which varied in a large range.

Zusammenfassung Es wird an drei isotaktischen Polybuten-1-Proben die Kinetik der Kristallisation und der Transformation von II nach I untersucht. Eine primäre autokatalytische Kristallisation aus der unterkühlten Schmelze wird durch einen heterogenen Keimbildungs-Prozeß initiiert. Die Zahl der Keime ist durch die vorausgehende Temperatur der Schmelze bedingt. Die Geschwindigkeit der Kristallisation hängt linear vom reziproken Wert der Unterkühlung ab (T ^–1) und die thermische Variation ist identisch für alle drei untersuchten Proben. Die Wichtigkeit der Sekundär-Kristallisation, die dem primären Prozeß folgt, wird betont. Andererseits wird die Transformation von II nach I, die nach Abkühlen der halb-kristallinen Probe auf Raumtemperatur eintritt, durch Keime initiiert, die verstreut in den laminaren Rippen der sphärulithischen Textur erscheinen. Sie wachsen linear längs der Rippen. Im allgemeinen hängt die isotherme Geschwindigkeit der Transformation von der thermischen Vorgeschichte der Probe ab. Der Einfluß der Kristallisations-Temperatur und der des Abschreckens zu tiefen Temperaturen werden systematisch untersucht. Ein Abschrecken vor der Transformation erzeugt eine große Zahl von Keimen, von denen ein Bruchteil auch bei höheren Temperaturen fortbesteht und die Transformations-Geschwindigkeit so erhöht. Referenz-Volumina, die die Kristallinität von PB-1 bestimmen, werden diskutiert in ihren zwei Formen. Eine neue Kristallinitäts-Skala wird vorgeschlagen, deren Zutreffen durch die konstanten Werte der Ausdehnungs-Koeffizienten der zwei Kristall-Formen, berechnet aus dem tatsächlichen Ausdehnungsverhaltens des semikristallinen Materials, dessen Kristallanteil in einem großen Bereich variierte, gesichert wird.

Calculations on electric-field-induced shifts in ultraviolet absorption spectra: The significance of doubly excited configurations

Calculations on the cation-induced shifts in the UV spectrum of the terphenyl mononegative ion suggest that the spectra of the ions of alternant hydrocarbons, as compared with those of the molecules, are rather insensitive to electric field perturbations. This feature only shows up if one includes enough (doubly) excited configurations to allow for the polarization of the excited states involved in the optical transitions.

Zusammenfassung Berechnungen über die von Kationen verursachten Verschiebungen im UV-Spektrum des mononegativen Terphenylions deuten darauf hin, daß die Spektren der Ionen alternierender Kohlenwasserstoffe im Vergleich zu denen der Molekeln gegen vom elektrischen Feld hervorgerufene Störungen ziemlich unempfindlich sind. Dies kommt nur dann zum Ausdruck, wenn man in den Berechnungen genügend (doppelt) angeregte Konfigurationen mit einbezieht, um auch die Polarisation der an den optischen Übergängen beteiligten Anregungszustände zu erfassen.

Résumé Des calculs sur les déplacements — provoqués par le cation — dans le spectre ultraviolet de l'ion mononégatif de terphényle indiquent que les spectres des ions d'hydrocarbures alternants, à côté de ceux des molécules, sont assez insensibles aux perturbations du champ électrique. On ne trouve ce résultat que dans le cas où l'on introduit un nombre suffisant de configurations excitées (doublement) pour tenir compte de la polarisation des états excités liés aux transitions optiques.

     

Highly regioselective rearrangement of 2-substituted vinylepoxides catalyzed by gallium(III) triflate

Gallium(III) triflate catalyzed the rearrangement of 2-substituted vinylepoxides into beta,gamma-unsaturated carbonyl compounds with high regio- and chemoselectivity (>97/3) in low catalyst loading (1-5 mol %). The alkyl-substituted trimethylsilylvinyl epoxides gave beta,gamma-unsaturated ketone, but aryl-substituted vinylepoxides gave the aldehydes instead.

NMR determination of absolute site-specific natural isotope ratios of hydrogen in organic molecules. Analytical and mechanistic applications

It has been shown that the “internal” isotope distribution within a given molecular species at the natural abundance level is accessible by a new method, SNIF-NMR, which is based on deuterium NMR. Relative internal factors, R_i/j,have been defined which enable the isotope content of a given site, i, to be compared to that of another molecular site, j, taken as the reference. Several referencing methods intended to provide direct access to relative $\text{externals}$, T_i , and $\text{absolute}$, (D/H)_i , site-specific parameters, are now discussed from both the theoretical and the experimental points of view. In the $\text{intramolecular referencing method}$, which involves a time-consuming chemical transformation of the sample, the risk exists of more or leas systematic errors resulting from discriminating fractionation effects. However this technique offers, conversely, an interesting way of investigating kinetic isotope effects without the need for specific labelling. In spite of its lower spectral precision the $\text{external referencing method}$ has the advantage of being fast and less sensitive to systematic errois and may be used for direct rough routine determinations of the site-specific isotope contents. More precise results can be obtained, at the price of contaminating the sample, when an $\text{intermolecular reference}$ is added and signal heights are used, remembering however that the intensity parameters then have no strict physical meaning in terms of absolute isotope contents. The site-specific parameters, T_i and (D/H)_i thus accessible, provide new information on the mechanisms of the fractionation effects occurring in natural conditions and examples are considered.     

Novel one-dimensional tubelike and two-dimensional polycatenated metal-organic frameworks

Two novel metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) [Zn(TITMB)(OAc)](OH).8.5H(2)O (1) and [Ag(TITMB)N(3)].H(2)O (2) [TITMB = 1,3,5-tris(imidazol-1-ylmethyl)-2,4,6-trimethylbenzene, OAc = acetate anion] were synthesized and their structures were determined by X-ray crystallography. Complex 1 crystallizes in tetragonal space group P(-)4 with a = 23.2664(7) and c = 11.9890(3) A and Z = 8. 1 has a one-dimensional tubelike structure with large inner pore size of approximately 17 A. Complex 2 crystallizes in monoclinic space group C2 with a = 20.7193(10), b = 11.5677(8), and c = 12.2944(6) A, beta = 125.5770(10) degrees, and Z = 4. 2 consists of two-dimensional honeycomb networks that interpenetrate each other to generate a polycatenated structure. In these two complexes, both zinc(II) and silver(I) atoms are four-coordinated with the same tetrahedral coordination geometry. The topologies of 1 and 2 are predominated by the conformations of TITMB, which are cis, trans, trans in 1 and cis, cis, cis in 2, respectively.     

Studium des gegenseitigen Einflusses der Bindungen in Thiocyanat-Kupfer(II)-Komplexen mit Methyl- und Dimethylpyridinen mittels Infrarotspektroskopie

The infrared spectra of thiocyanato-copper(II) complexes of the type Cu(NCS)₂ L ₂ with all isomeric picolines and lutidines (L) as well as those of the type Cu(NCS)₂ L ₃ withL=3- and 4-picoline, 3,4- and 3,5-lutidine were measured. The behaviour of the (CN) stretching vibrations of the Cu(NCS)₂ L ₂ complexes led to conclusions on the different kind of coordination of the NCS groups in dependence on the ligandL. The mutually conditioned strength of the Cu–NCS and Cu–N(L) bonds in the equatorial plane, especially in the presence of ligandsL with the steric effect, was determined from the frequency shift of the Cu–NCS and Cu–N(L) stretching vibrations with regard to the vibrations for Cu(NCS)₂(pyridine)₂.

Die Massenspektren der Pyrrolidide einiger aliphatisch-alicyclischer Carbonsäuren

The mass spectra of the pyrrolidides of some long-chain carboxylic acids with alicyclic residues attached to their ω-end are discussed and compared with the spectra of the corresponding esters. Fragmentation triggered by the pyrrolidide group generates a series of peaks, which clearly exhibits the size and the structure of the carbon chain.
