Dampfdruck- und Leitfähigkeitsuntersuchungen der Ionensolvatation in Amiden

The solvating properties of formamide, N-methylformamide, dimethylformamide, N-ethylformamide and diethylformamide have been investigated by means of vapour pressure and conductivity measurements. For the salts and ions, resp. average solvation numbers have been calculated from vapour pressure data and limiting ionic conductances. The solvation numbers are used for a discussion of the influence of N-substituents on the solvating properties of the amides.

The reaction of N-aminophthalimide with isothiocyanates

N-Aminophthalimide ( I ) reacted in refluxing isopropyl alcohol with a number of isothiocyanates to give the related 1:1 addition products, N-(3-substitutedthioureido)phthalimides III. On the other hand, heating I directly with an excess of neat arylisothiocyanates produced the N-arylphthalimides IV. As shown for IIIa, the 1:1 addition products are conveniently deblocked by the Ing-Manske procedure to yield the 4-substituted thiosemicarbazide.     

Suggested calculations using transition density matrices

It is suggested that certain transition density matrices, N-representable in a limit, be used in a variational calculation. It is noted that such trial matrices should yield reasonable values for the ground state energies of small atoms or molecules provided a set of overlap integrals is maximised.

Zusammenfassung Es wird vorgeschlagen, bestimmte Übergangsdichtematrizen, die im Limit N-darstellbar sind, in einer Variationsrechnung zu benutzen. Es wird festgestellt, daß solche Näherungsmatrizen gute Werte für die Energie des Grundzustandes kleiner Atome oder Moleküle geben sollten, falls im Satz von Überlappungsintegralen maximiert wird.

Résumé On propose d'utiliser dans un calcul variationnel certaines matrices densité de transition, N représentables à la limite. Ces matrices d'essai devraient fournir des valeurs raissonnables pour l'énergie de l'état fondamental dans les petits atomes et les petites molécules à condition de maximiser un ensemble d'intégrales de recouvrement.

The structures and formation of [C4H6N]+ ions 2—ion structures derived from 2-methylpropanenitrile

The loss of a hydrogen atom from ionized 2-methylpropanenitrile is preceded by a drastic rearrangement of the molecular ion. The result of this fragmentation is the generation of two stable structurally different [C₄H₆N]⁺ ions, formed via different pathways. Their structures can be established by a careful comparison of the metastable ion spectra, collision activation spectra, and charge stripping spectra from the compound and its three deuterium labeled analogues and from [C₄H₆N]⁺ ions generated from reference compounds via electron impact ionization or in selected ion/molecule reactions.     

Bidimensional mixtures of polyglutamic and myristic acid

Summary Monolayers of polyglutamic acid and of its mixtures with myristic acid at the water/air interface on subphase composed of solutions of hydrochloric acid only and solutions containing CaCl₂ and hydrochloric acid were studied. The comparison of the experimental data with the bidimensional state equation deduced theoretically is in agreement with the presence of the rigid macromolecular form of alpha helix type in the bidimensional state, as shown by other authors. So far as the mixtures are concerned, on both the support solutions the two components are miscible between one another in all the molar ratios considered. On the support solution free of Ca⁺⁺ ions, the bidimensional mixtures are more stable than either of the components. In particular at a 1/1 molar ratio a sharp minimum of the free surface energy of mixing is found. On support solutions containing Ca⁺⁺ ions, the mixtures especially those containing higher concentrations of myristic acid, are thermodynamically less stable than the components themselves.

Zusammenfassung Es werden an der Grenzfläche Wasser/Luft Monoschichten von Polyglutaminsäure und deren Mischungen mit Miristinsäure auf Unterlagen, die nur Salzsäutelösungen oder auch Ca⁺⁺ enthalten, studiert. Für die Polyglutaminsäure ist der Vergleich der experimentellen Daten mit den theoretischen Gleichungen des bidimensionalen Zustand übereinstimmend mit dem Vorhandensein in bidimensionalem Zustand einer makromolekularen starren Form des-Helixtyps, wie schon von anderen Autoren festgestellt wurde.Was die Mischungen betrifft, sind auf beiden Unterlagen die Komponenten miteinander mischbar in sämtlichen Verhältnissen, die in Betracht gezogen wurden. Auf einer Unterlage ohne Calciumionen sind die bidimensionalen Mischungen stabiler als die Komponenten allein. Insbesondere dem Verhältnis 1/1 entspricht ein ausgesprochenes Minimum der Freien Oberflächenenergie der Mischungen. Auf einer Unterlage, die Calciumionen enthält, insbesondere wenn die Mischungen reich an Miristinsäure sind, erweisen sie sich als thermodynamisch weniger stabil als die Komponenten.

Zur Thermochemie der Zinnhalogenide

The enthalpy change of the reaction at 298 K between Br₂ (l) and Sn(c) in CS₂ as solvent giving SnBr₄ (s) has been determined by calorimetry to be (?374, 2±1.4) kJ·mol^?1, [(?89.45±0.33) kcal·mol^?1]. By the same method the heat of solution of SnBr₄ (c) in CS₂ has been found to be (11.9±0.3) kJ·mol^?1, [(2.84±0.08) kcal·mol^?1]. Combining these results, a value of (?386.1±1.5) kJ·mol^?1, [(?92.3±0.4) kcal·mol^?1] is derived for the standard heat of formation of SnBr₄ (c). Substituting this figure in the thermochemical cycle hitherto used for calculating the heat of formation of SnBr₄ (c) gives ?124.3 kcal·mol^?1 for the standard heat of formation of SnCl₄ (l), which is in reasonable agreement with a recent determination of this quantity⁸.

The interphase between mercury and acetone+ nitromethane mixtures with KPF6 as a supporting electrolyte

Differential capacity and interfacial tension measurements were carried out on mercury for acetone+nitromethane mixtures with KPF₆ as a supporting electrolyte. On the basis of Gibbs adsorption equation and Guggenheim's model of the surface phase the composition of the surface layer was estimated for different acetone contents and different charges on the mercury electrode. The results obtained indicate that the positive acetone adsorption is marked at negative charges with maximum at σ_m=?0.07 C m^?2, but is practically non-existent at zero and positive charges.
