DSC study of charge-transfer complexes of polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons with nitroaromatic acceptors

Charge-transfer, crystalline complexes of 1,3,5-trinitrobenzene (TNB), 2,4,7- trinitro-9-fluorenone (TNF). and 2,4,5,7-tetranitro-9-fluorenone (TENF) with eleven polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons were compared for thermal stability, ΔH and ΔS of melting. Factors possibly influencing the above parameters are discussed.Melting does not induce separation of the components; these complexes can be repeatedly crystallized and melted without variation of the ΔH of melting, thereby indicating high thermal stability.With a few exceptions, melting temperatures of the complexes increase in the order TNB<TNF<TENF: so do ΔH and ΔS of melting. A number of crystal transitions were observed.     

Nouveaux thiochlorures de molybdène(II): Mo6Cl10Y (Y = S,Se, Te): Structure et propriétés magnétiques et électriques

The thiochlorides Mo₆Cl₁₀Y (Y = S, Se, Te) have been prepared; they are isostructural with Nb₆I₁₁, space group Pccn, and have four formula units per unit cell. The X-ray structure of Mo₆Cl₁₀Se has been determined from three-dimensional single-crystal counter data and refined to a final R value of 0.053 for 3350 independent reflections. The most important result concerning this structure is a statistical distribution of the Se atom on the unit (Mo₆X′₈) with $\text{X′ ?}\text{7}\text{8}\text{Cl}\text{+}\text{1}\text{8}\text{Se}$: so the compound Mo₆Cl₁₀Se must be formulated $\text{(Mo}{}_6\text{Cl}{}_7\text{Se)Cl}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>4</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}\text{Cl}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>2</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}$. The diamagnetic and dielectric behavior of these new thiochlorides is discussed.     

Polymerisation en phase homogene du methyl-2 thiiranne amorcee par les thiolates de cadmium et de zinc. Influence des interactions monomere-metal sur la stereoregularite des polymeres

The stereoregularity of polymethylthiiranes initiated by zinc and cadmium thiolates depends upon the nature of the metal, temperature, solvent and the monomer/initiator concentrations ratio. Complexation of the metal with monomer has been studied by (¹³C) and (¹H) NMR on a model molecule, dimethylcadmium. Cryoscopic measurements made on a soluble cadmium thiolate have shown the presence of aggregates. The relationship between these observations and polymer stereoregularity is discussed.     

Structure,tautomerism, and transformations of β-(3-nitro-2-pyridyl)- and β-(3-nitro-4-pyridyl)pyruvic acid esters

It was shown by means of IR, UV, and PMR spectra that -(3-nitro-2-pyridyl)pyruvic acid esters are practically completely enolized in the crystal state and in solution; ethyl -(3-nitro-4-pyridyl)pyruvate has an enol structure in the crystalline state and in pyridine solution but exists as a mixture of keto and enol forms in low-polarity solvents.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 3, pp. 389–393, March, 1974.
