Ferrocene studies. IV. Some furan containing derivatives of ferrocene

The condensation of ferrocenecarboxyhydrazide, ferrocenecarboxaldehyde and acetylferrocene with a number of furan derivatives is reported. The reaction of chalcones containing both the furan and the ferrocene nucleus with Phenylhydrazine and hydrazine proceeds to yield pyrazolines.     

Osmotischer Druck in reagierenden polymeren Lösungen

Zusammenfassung Die osmotische Steighöhe über einer Lösung makromolekularer Stoffe, in der chemische Reaktionen verlaufen, wird als Funktion der Zeit, der Reaktionsgeschwindigkeit und der Membranpermeabilität berechnet.Mit 1 AbbildungHerrn Prof. Dr.Emil Abel zum 80.

Fake molecular-orbital calculations

The FAKE method of approximate molecular-orbital calculations is presented and illustrated by application to a number of molecules. The method is of the extended Huckel type but uses accurately computed kinetic-energy matrix elements and avoids scale factors of the Wolfsberg—Helmholtz type. It also includes neighbor-atom charge effects and single-center off-diagonal matrix elements. These features permit FAKE occupied-orbital energies and charge distributions to come into close agreement with corresponding ab initio quantities.     

Where are the Sn atoms in LaSb2Snx, 0.1?x?∼0.75?

The composition range and (composite modulated) structure of compounds within the wide range non-stoichiometric LaSb₂Sn_x, 0.1?x?0.75, solid solution is carefully investigated via a combined electron diffraction, XRD and electron probe microanalysis study. Evidence for metastability of the LaSb₂Sn_x phase at the low x composition end of the solid solution is presented. Direct evidence is found for a reasonably (although by no means perfectly) well ordered Sn sub-structure which is, in general, mutually incommensurable with respect to a very well ordered underlying LaSb₂ sub-structure along both a and c directions. The overall (3+2)-d superspace group symmetry is given along with a discussion of the consequences as regards the arrangement of the Sn atoms. The Sn sub-structure c-axis cell dimension shows very little variation with composition x providing direct experimental evidence of the importance of Sn-Sn metallic bonding (along one-dimensional [001] Sn strings) for the stability of the phase.     

Determination of the solubility of organic compounds. II

Summary In general, solid particles liquify when they are exposed to air laden with the vapor of a liquid in which they are soluble. There are exceptions, however, which may be explained by assuming the formation of a solvate.

Zusammenfassung Feste Teilchen verflüssigen sich im allgemeinen, wenn sie Luft ausgesetzt sind, die mit dem Dampf einer Flüssigkeit geladen ist, in der sie löslich sind. Es wurden aber Ausnahmen gefunden, die möglicherweise durch die Bildung von Solvaten erklärt werden können.

Résumé Généralement, les particules solides se liquéfient si elles sont exposées à l'air chargé de la vapeur d'un liquide dans lequel elles sont solubles. Il existe cependant des exceptions que l'on peut expliquer en supposant la formation de solvates.

First successful reaction of a silyl anion with hafnium tetrachloride

Hafnium tetrachloride reacts with the tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl potassium tmen adduct (1) to form a [tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl]trichlorohafnium tmen complex (2); reaction of 2 with 2,6-dimethylphenylisonitrile leads to insertion into the silicon hafnium bond (4).
