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.

(NH4)4Na2[V10O28]·10H2O

Tetra­ammonium disodium decavanadate decahydrate crystallizes in the triclinic system in space group P. The structure contains typical centrosymmetric OV₆ double octahedra and centrosymmetric pairs of edge‐shared NaO₆ double octahedra forming a layered structure. In contrast to other monovalent cationic decavanadates, the NaO₆ double octahedra are integrated in the layer.     

Methods for Determining the Re-order Point of an (<Emphasis Type="Italic">s</Emphasis>, <Emphasis Type="Italic">S</Emphasis>) Ordering Policy when a Service Level is Specified

This paper deals with a periodic review inventory system. Methods are discussed for determining the re-order point s of an (s, S) order policy, when a certain service level is required. The results differ from those presented for a (Q, s) model which is usually considered in literature and implemented in practice. Methods are discussed for determining the re-order point of an (s, S) policy when demand is normal or gamma distributed. A numerical investigation demonstrates the applicability of the described methods. In particular, it is shown that these methods are superior to a formula that is implemented in many inventory control systems.     

On the singular graph and the Weyr characteristic of anM-matrix

LetA be anM-matrix in standard lower block triangular form, with diagonal blocksA _ii irreducible. LetS be the set of indices such that the diagonal blockA is singular. We define the singular graph ofA to be the setS with partial order defined by > if there exists a chain of non-zero blocksA _i, A_ij, , A_l.Let ₁ be the set of maximal elements ofS, and define thep-th level _p ,p = 2, 3, , inductively as the set of maximal elements ofS \( _{1 p-1}). Denote by _p the number of elements in _p . The Weyr characteristic (associated with 0) ofA is defined to be (A) = ( ₁, ₂,, _h ), where ₁ + + _p = dim KerA ^p ,p = 1, 2, , and _h > 0, _h+1 = 0.Using a special type of basis, called anS-basis, for the generalized eigenspaceE(A) of 0 ofA, we associate a matrixD withA. We show that(A) = ( ₁, , _h) if and only if certain submatricesD _p,p+1 ,p = 1, , h – 1, ofD have full column rank. This condition is also necessary and sufficient forE(A) to have a basis consisting of non-negative vectors, which is a Jordan basis for –A. We also consider a given finite partially ordered setS, and we find a necessary and sufficient condition that allM-matricesA with singular graphS have(A) = ( ₁, , _h). This condition is satisfied ifS is a rooted forest.The work of the second-named author was partly supported by the National Science Foundation, under grant MPS-08618 A02.     

Efficient nickel-mediated intramolecular amination of aryl chlorides

The use of an in situ generated Ni(0) catalyst associated with 2,2'-bipyridine or N,N'-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)dihydroimidazol-2-ylidene (SIPr) as a ligand and NaO-t-Bu as the base for the intramolecular coupling of aryl chlorides with amines is described. The procedure has been applied to the formation of five-, six-, and seven-membered rings. [reaction: see text]     

Platinum complexes of oxopurines: cis‐bis(theophyllinato‐N7)bis(triphenylphosphine)platinum(II) and cis‐chloro(theobrominato‐N1)bis(triphenylphosphine)platinum(II) ethanol hemisolvate

The syntheses and structures of two mixed‐ligand complexes of platinum(II) with deprotonated oxopurine bases and tri­phenyl­phosphine are reported, namely the theophyllinate complex cis‐bis(1,2,3,6‐tetra­hydro‐1,3‐di­methyl­purine‐2,6‐dionato‐κN⁷)­bis(tri­phenyl­phosphine‐κP)­platinum(II), [Pt(C₇H₇N₄O₂)₂(C₁₈H₁₅P)₂], (I), and the theobrominate complex cis‐chloro(1,2,3,6‐tetrahydro‐3,7‐dimethylpurine‐2,6‐dionato‐κN¹)­bis(tri­phenyl­phosphine‐κP)­platinum(II) ethanol hemisolvate, [PtCl(C₇H₇N₄O₂)(C₁₈H₁₅P)₂]·0.5C₂H₅OH, (II). In (I), the coordination geometry of Pt is square planar, formed by the two coordinating N atoms of the theophyl­linate anions in a cis arrangement and two P atoms from the tri­phenyl­phosphine groups. In (II), there are two crystallographically independent mol­ecules. They both exhibit a square‐planar coordination geometry around Pt involving one Cl atom, the coordinating N atom of the theobrominate anion and two P atoms from the tri­phenyl­phosphine groups. The two tri­phenyl­phosphine groups are arranged in a cis configuration in both structures. The heterocyclic rings are rotated with respect to the coordination plane of the metal by 82.99 (8) and 88.09 (8)° in complex (I), and by 85.91 (16) and 88.14 (18)° in complex (II). Both structures are stabilized by intramolecular stacking interactions involving the purine rings and the phenyl rings of adjacent tri­phenyl­phosphine moieties.     

Struktur-Reaktivitäts-Beziehungen bei koordinativ-ungesättigten Chelatkomplexen. VI. Synthese,Adduktbildung, Redoxpotentiale und photochrome lodderivate von Eisen(II)-Komplexen Schiffscher Basen mit elektronenziehenden Substituenten

Structure Reactivity Correlations in Coordinatively Unsaturated Chelate Complexes. VI. Synthesis, Adduct Formation, Redox Potentials, and Photochromic Iodine Derivatives of Iron(II) Complexes with Schiff Base Ligands Possessing Electron-Withdrawing Substituents Iron(II) complexes of the type 1 have been prepared by different synthetic methods. In contrast to similar chelates of the “saloph” and “salen” types, the high-spin complexes 1 form stable high-spin diadducts ( 1a – 1d ) and an unusual triadduct ( 1e ) with pyridine. The oxidation potentials of the Fe^II/Fe^III couple as measured by cyclic voltammetry are dependent on the solvent as well as the equatorial ligand substituents. The potentials are more positive in pyridine than in DMF, indicating a stabilization of Fe^II by pyridine. The redox potentials are discussed with respect to those of other metals in the same ligand environment. The complexes form iodine derivatives which show photochromic behaviour in THF solution. The rate of the reaction with dioxygen in the solid state as well as in pyridine solution decreases in the order 1f > 1a ≈ 1b > 1c ≈ 1d > 1e and correlates with the increasing oxidation potentials.     

The infrared spectrum of Au-.CO2

The Au-.CO2 ion-molecule complex has been studied by gas phase infrared photodissociation spectroscopy. Several sharp transitions can be identified as combination bands involving the asymmetric stretch vibrational mode of the CO2 ligand. Their frequencies are redshifted by several hundred cm(-1) from the frequencies of free CO2. We discuss our findings in the framework of ab initio and density-functional theory calculations, using anharmonic corrections to predict vibrational transition energies. The infrared spectrum is consistent with the formation of an aurylcarboxylate anion with a strongly bent CO2 subunit.     

Neutron Diffraction Analysis of H3Co2[C5H2(t-Bu)3]2, a Molecule with a Triply Hydrogen-Bridged Metal–Metal Bond: Some Comments on Structural Patterns in M(μ-H)nM Systems (n=1, 2, 3, 4)

The structure of H₃Co₂[C₅H₂(t-Bu)₃]₂ has been analyzed by low-temperature single-crystal neutron diffraction techniques, and shown to consist of two CoCp moieties with three hydride ligands bridging the central Co–Co bond. Despite a fairly extensive twinning problem, the structure could be solved and successfully refined to a final R factor of 9.2% for 2024 reflections. Average molecular parameters in the H₃Co₂ core of the molecule are as follows: Co–Co=2.275(21) Å, Co–H=1.637(16) Å, HH=2.050(20) Å, Co–H–Co=88.0(9)°, H–Co–H=77.0(7)°. Also included in this paper is a discussion on the molecular dimensions of symmetric hydride-bridged dinuclear systems (M(-H)_nM, n=1, 2, 3, 4) that have been studied to date by neutron diffraction.
