Thermische Zersetzung von CuInSe2, LiInSe2 und LiInTe2

The thermal decompositions of CuInSe₂, LiInSe₂ and LiInTe₂ in vacuum at high temperatures were studied by using TG/DTG coupled with mass spectrometry. For CuInSe₂, two steps were found to be significant. Up to 1000 °C Se₂ and In₂Se evaporate, followed later by Cu₂Se. The Li-containing compounds show similar behaviour. However, Li⁺ was already detected during the first step. Obviously, Li₂Se dissociates more readily than Cu₂Se. No Cu⁺ species were detected up to the complete evaporation of CuInSe₂.     

Stereochemistry of planarchiral compounds,part X

2,7-Dibromo-1,6-methano[10]anulene (3) and 2,9-Dibromo-syn-1,6:8,13-diimino[14]anulene (9) were quantitatively separated into their enantiomers by chromatography on triacetylcellulose (TAC) in ethanol. X-ray structure analysis (Bijvoet technique) established the chiralities (+)(R)-3 and (+)(S)-9 for the dextrorotatory enantiomers.Comparison of the CD spectra allowed the configurational assignment to further optically active [10] and [14] anulenes which were also accessible by chromatography onTAC. Conversion of (+)(R)-2-bromo-1,6-methano[10]anulene (2) into the corresponding methylester (–)-4 confirmed its previously proposed chirality (–)(R).2,7-Dibromo-1,6-oxido[10]anulene (7) and 2,9-dibromo-syn-diimino[14]anulene (9) are in contrast to the 2,9-dibromo-syn-dioxido[14]anulene (10) optically stable until 250°C. Consequently their inversion barriers are higher than 42 kcal (176 kJ) mol^–1.The CD spectra of mono and disubstituted anulenes (with C₁ and C₂ symmetry, resp.) are compared: For the [10]anulenes theCotton effect around 330 nm seems to be specific for their configuration with a positive effect indicating (S)-chirality and vice versa. Some regularities concerning the chromatographic resolutions are discussed.

Stereochemie planar chialer Verbindungen, 10. Mitt.: Röntgenkristallstruktur und absolute Chiralität überbrückter [10]- und [14] Anulene

Zusammenfassung 2,7-Dibrom-1,6-methano[10]anulen (3) und 2,9-Dibrom-syn-1,6:8,13-diimino[14]anulen (9) wurden durch Chromatographie an Triacetylcellulose (TAC) in Ethanol quantitativ in ihre Enantiomeren getrennt. Röntgenstruktur-analyse (Bijvoet-Technik) bewies für die rechtsdrehenden Enantiomeren die Chiralität (+)(R)-3 bzw. (+)(S)-9.Ein Vergleich der CD-Spektren ermöglichte die Konfigurationszuordnung weiterer optisch aktiver [10]- und [14]Anulene, die gleichfalls durch Chromato-graphie anTAC erhalten worden waren. Umwandlung von (+)(R)-2-Brom-1,6-methano[10]anulen (2) in den entsprechenden Methylester (–)-4 bestätigte dessen schon früher vorgeschlagene Chiralität (–)(R).Dibrom-1,6-oxido[10]anulen (7) und Dibrom-diimino[14]anulen (9) sind im Gegensatz zum Dioxido[14]anulen (10) bis 250°C optisch stabil. Ihre Inver-sionsbarrieren liegen somit über 42 kcal (176kJ) mol^–1.Die CD-Spektren von mono- und disubstituierten Anulenen (mit C₁ bzw. C₂-Symmetrie) werden verglichen: Für die [10]Anulene scheint derCottoneffekt um 330 nm konfigurationsspezifisch zu sein, wobei ein positiver Effekt (S)-Chiralität anzeigt — und vice versa. Einige Regelmäßigkeiten bezüglich der chromatographischen Enantiomerentrennung werden diskutiert.

     

Dichloracetylen als stabiler Komplexligand Die Kristallstruktur von PPh4[WCl5(C2Cl2)] · 0,5 CCl4

Dichloro Acetylene as Complex Ligand. Crystal Structure of PPh₄[WCl₅(C₂Cl₂)] · 0.5 CCl₄ Tungsten hexachloride and dichloro acetylenediethyletherate react in boiling CCl₄ in presence of C₂Cl₄ as reducing agent forming [Et₂O · WCl₄(C₂Cl₂)]. In vacuo the complex looses ether giving the dichloro acetylene complex [WCl₄(C₂Cl₂)]₂ which is dimeric with chloro bridges. Both complexes react with tetraphenylphosphonium chloride to form PPh₄[WCl₅(C₂Cl₂)] which is equally prepared by ligand exchange of PPh₄[WCl₅(C₂I₂)] with silver chloride. All dichloro acetylene complexes are red to brown crystalline solids sensitive to moisture, and are thermally and mechanically very stable compared with the highly explosive dichloro acetylene. The compounds are characterized by their i.r. spectra; [Et₂O · WCl₄(C₂Cl₂)] was additionally investigated by ¹³C-nmr spectroscopy. PPh₄[WCl₅(C₂Cl₂)] · 0.5 CCl₄ formes dark brown crystals; according to the structural investigation by X-ray diffraction methods the compound crystallizes orthorhombic in the space group Pbca with 8 formula units per unit cell (1317 observed, independent reflexions, R = 0.049). The cell dimensions are a = 1702 pm, b = 1675 pm and c = 2228 pm. The compound consists of [WCl₅(C₂Cl₂)]? anions and PPh₄⊕ cations including CCl₄ molecules without bonding interactions. The tungsten atoms are seven-coordinated by five chlorine atoms and two carbon atoms. The dichloro acetylene ligand is bonded symmetrically side-on and has a C? C bond length of 128 pm. The W? C distances are 201 pm, the four equatorial Cl atoms have W? Cl bond lengths of 234 pm whereas the chlorine atom in trans-position to the W? C₂ group is situated in a distance of 244 pm.     

Electrical conductivity of cytochrome c anhydrous film

Electrical conducitivities of both ferricytochrome c and ferrocytochrome c anhydrous films were measured at physiological temperatures. A film-casting method was applied to prepare the films. Rather low values of resistivities (55°C) of 6.5 × 10¹⁰ Ω cm for ferrocytochrome c in comparison with the previously reported value of 10¹¹ Ω cm (127°C) were obtained. Apparent activation energies for the above conductivities, 0.6 eV, were the same in both samples.     

The effect of fluctuations on emission spectra: practical distinctions between raman and fluorescence spectra

By the use of stochastic theory it is clearly shown that two types of emission should to fluctuations such as would occur during interactions with their environment are resonantly driven by light. In our approach the electromagnetic field is treated in a classical manner and decay is introduced by a Wigner-Weisskopfansatz. The two types of emission should occur for a three-level system and relaxation to other levels is not involved in the mechanism. Also included is a discussion of operational definitions of fluorescence (and other spontaneous emissions) and of the relationship between absorption and scattering in terms of dephasing or T₂ processes, especially as this relates to conventional emission phenomena.     

Dipole operators in photoionization calculations

The photoionization cross section and asymmetry parameter are reported for hydrogen molecule-ion. The calculations were performed using the dipole length and dipole velocity operators in the energy range from threshold to 270 eV photon energy. The results indicate that the calculations are very sensitive to the accuracy of the bound state wavefunction, and that the velocity operator gives more accurate results.     

Solid-state vibrational spectroscopy: Part VI. An infrared and raman spectroscopic study of transition metal(II)4-methylpyridine complexes

Infrared (4000–200 cm^?1) and Raman (3500–300 cm^?1 ) spectra are reported for metal(II) halide and thiocyanate 4-methylpyridine complexes of the following stoichiometries: (MX₂(4-Mepy)₂) {M = Mn, Co, Cu or Zn, X = Cl or Br; M = Mn, Ni or Zn, X = NCS}; (MX₂(4-Mepy)₄) {M = Mn, Fe, Co or Ni, X = Cl or Br; M = Mn, Fe, Co, W or Cu, X = NCS}. For a given series of isomorphous complexes there is a correlation between the sum of the differences between the liquid and ligand values of the ν₁, ν₂, ν₃, ν₄, ν₅, ν₆, ν₇, ν₈, ν₉, ν₁₀, ν₁₂, ν₁₃ and ν₁₄ modes of 4-methylpyridine and the strength of the metal-nitrogen bond. Comparison of the shift values of pyridine and 4-methylpyridine complexes supports the suggestion that, unlike the situation in the pyridine complexes, back-donation from the metal to the ligand is unimportant in the 4-methylpyridine complexes.     

Magnetic circular dichroism studies—XLVI: Structure and the magnetic circular dichroism of trans-2-decalones and bicyclo[2.2.2]octan-2-ones

The magnetic CD spectra of a number of Me substituted trans-2-decalones and bicyelo[2.2.2]octan-2-ones were measured. The results showed a large, and sometimes dominant, contribution to the MCD intensity which could be correlated with the presence of α-substituents lying outside of the plane of the carbonyl chromophore.     

EPR-untersuchungen an carbonsäureestern—III: Thiooxalsäureester-radikalanionen

Polarographic and cyclovoltammetric investigation of the thiooxalates 1–6 shows that they are reversibly reduced to the corresponding radical anions. Accordingly, EPR spectra are obtained after in-situ electroreduction. Taking also the electronic spectra into consideration, conclusions about the spin density distribution can be drawn. It is shown thatp^π is higher at the oxygen atoms of oxoesters than at the sulfur atoms of the corresponding thiono esters.
