Reaktionen von π-Organokomplexen des Nickels mit tertiären Phosphanen

Reactions of π-Organonickel Complexes with Tertiary Phosphanes In a hexane solution Ni(C₅H₅)₂ reacts with PBu₃ or Ph₂PBu forming the nickel(O) complexes Ni(PBu3)₄ or Ni(Ph₂PBu)₄ (A). Under the same conditions only one cyclopentadienyl ligand is substituted by PhPBu₂ and the nickel(I) compound (C₅H₅)Ni (PhPBu₂)₂ (B) is obtained. Products of the reactions between B and α,α′-dipyridyl, hydrogen chlorid in ether, or Ni(PhPBu₂),Cl₂ are Ni(dipy)₂, [PhPHBu₂]₂[NiCl₄], or (C₅H₅) Ni(PhPBu₂)₂Cl. By the reaction with HgCl₂ a cyclopentadienyl compound of an unknown structur is formed. The compound Ni(PhPBu₂)₄ which is analogous to A is synthesized by the reduction of bis(acety1acetonato)-nickel with Et₂AlOEt in the presence of PhPBu₂ or by the reaction of bis (cyclooctadiene-1,5)-nickel with PhPBu₂.     

Die Massenspektren der Pyrrolidide einiger aliphatisch-alicyclischer Carbonsäuren

The mass spectra of the pyrrolidides of some long-chain carboxylic acids with alicyclic residues attached to their ω-end are discussed and compared with the spectra of the corresponding esters. Fragmentation triggered by the pyrrolidide group generates a series of peaks, which clearly exhibits the size and the structure of the carbon chain.     

Polarographie schwefelhaltiger Proteine

Zusammenfassung An kristallisierten Enzymen des biologischen Stoffwechsel wird gezeigt, daß bei der Polarographie nur die schwefelhaltigen Proteine katalytische Wasserstoffwellen geben. Von den in der Literatur beschriebenen Doppelstufen der Proteine besitzt nur die im negativeren Potentialbereich liegende Welle die eigentliche katalytische Funktion. Die erste Vorwelle von Proteinen verschwindet, wenn die polarographische Messung bei 0° C durchgeführt wird.In Proteinen sind nur Disulfidgruppen katalytisch wirksam. Sogenannte reine Sulfhydryl-Enzyme haben keinen katalytischen Effekt. Typische SH-Enzyme können jedoch polarographisch als p-Chloromercuribenzoatkomplexe gemessen werden.Durch Harnstoffzusatz bei der polarographischen Messung von Proteinen gelingt es, zwischen maskierten und freien Sulfhydryl- oder Disulfidgruppen an Enzymen zu definieren.Auszug aus der Dissertationsschrift H.

31P- und 195Pt-NMR-Untersuchungen an Diplatin(I)-Komplexen des Typs [Pt2(μ-SPR2)2L2] (L = PR3, PhP(OPh)2, P(OPh)3, CNR)

³¹P and ¹⁹⁵Pt N.M.R. Investigations on Diplatinum (I) Complexes of the Type [Pt₂(μ-SPR₂)₂L₂] (L = PR₃, PhP(OPh)₂, P(OPh)₃, CNR) ³¹P-, ¹⁹⁵Pt-chemical shifts and ¹⁹⁵Pt–³¹P- resp. ³¹P–³¹P-coupling constants of a series of doubly bridged diplatinum(I) complexes are reported. ³¹P-coordination chemical shifts of the terminal ligands of complexes of type [Pt₂(μ-SPR₂)₂(P′R₃′)₂] and some of the various coupling constants are strongly influenced by the π-acceptor strength of these ligands. J(¹⁹⁵Pt–¹⁹⁵Pt) is found to change the sign among the series of complexes investigated. Thermal singlett triplet exitation giving rise to the paramagnetism of these complexes observed by preliminary EPR-measurements and confirmed by EHT-calculations is deduced from the large values of ²J(P–P′) and ³J(P′P′) as well as the unusually high temperature dependence of some coupling constants and other NMR features. The chemical stability of the doubly bridged core, the coordination shifts of the bridging phosphorus atoms and EHT-calculations suggest a view of aromaticity of the [Pt₂(μ-SPR₂)₂](M–M) unit of these complexes.     

Parity states in the one-atom maser

An experiment to determine the parity of the photon field of one privileged mode in a high-Q resonator is proposed. Even parity indicates that the photon number equals zero, two, four or any other even integer; likewise, odd parity states are mixtures of states with any odd number of photons. The parity measurement can be performed while the resonator is pumped as in standard one-atom maser operation. The time dependence of the parity expectation value is studied theoretically, and we suggest its experimental verification, which would serve as a test of the standard models describing both the relaxation of the cavity field toward thermal equilibrium and the pumping process. The connection between parity expectation values and Wigner's phase space function is recalled; the central value of the Wigner function equals twice the mean parity and it is, therefore, a measurable quantity.     

Full characterization of a three-photon Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger state using quantum state tomography

We have performed the first experimental tomographic reconstruction of a three-photon polarization state. Quantum state tomography is a powerful tool for fully describing the density matrix of a quantum system. We measured 64 three-photon polarization correlations and used a "maximum-likelihood" reconstruction method to reconstruct the Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger state. The entanglement class has been characterized using an entanglement witness operator and the maximum predicted values for the Mermin inequality were extracted.
