Synthese und Reaktionen von Bicyclo[6.4.0]dodecan-3-carbonsäure-Derivaten

Synthesis and Reactions of the Bicyclo[6.4.0]dodecane-3-carboxylic Acid Derivatives The synthesis and some consecutive reactions of the compounds 5-8 , derivatives of bicyclo[6.4.0]dodecane-3-carboxylic acid ( 1 ), are described. The esters 7 and 8 can be obtained by Baeyer-Villiger oxidation of 2-hydroxy-8-methyltricyclo[7.3.1.0^2,7]tridecan-13-one ( 4 ) and subsequent hydrolysis of the lactone 5 . The structure and configuration of these compounds has been evaluated by spectroscopic techniques (mainly 2D-NMR methods). The formation of 7 via 1,2-H shift and subsequent isomerization to 8 has been studied. The esters 11 and 13 are formed stereospecifically from 7 and 8 .     

The impact of flow injection on modern chemical analysis: has it fulfilled our expectations? And where are we going?

Presenting a condensation of the opening lecture of the 12th ICFIA conference, this communication presents a view of the impact that flow injection analysis (FIA) has had on modern analytical chemistry, evaluated both within the academic community and outside it, i.e. in “industry”. The ensuing developments of FIA, encompassing sequential injection analysis (SIA) and bead injection lab-on-valve (BI-LOV), are described and their individual features discussed. Finally, some recent results of the activities from the author’s own research group are briefly mentioned.     

Synthesis, structure, and dynamics of six-membered metallacoronands and metallodendrimers of iron and indium

In the reaction of the N-substituted diethanolamines (H(2)L(1-3)) (1-3) with calcium hydride followed by addition of iron(III) or indium(III) chloride, the iron wheels [Fe(6)Cl(6)(L(1))(6)] (4) and [Fe(6)Cl(6)(L(2))(6)] (6) or indium wheels [In(6)Cl(6)(L(1))(6)] (5), [In(6)Cl(6)(L(2))(6)] (8) and [In(6)Cl(6)(L(3))(6)] (9) were formed in excellent yields. Exchange of the chloride ions of 6 by thiocyanate ions afforded [Fe(6)(SCN)(6)(L(2))(6)] (7). Whereas the structures of 4, 5 and 7 were determined unequivocally by single-crystal X-ray analyses, complexes 8 and 9 were characterised by NMR spectroscopy. Contrary to what is normally presumed, the scaffolds of six-membered metallic wheels are not generally rigid, but rather undergo nondissociative topomerisation processes. This was shown by variable temperature (VT) (1)H NMR spectroscopy for the indium wheel [In(6)Cl(6)(L(1))(6)] (5) and is highlighted for the enantiotopomerisation of one indium centre [ 1/6[S(6)-5]<==>[1/6[S(6)-5']]. The self-assembly of metallic wheels, starting from diethanolamine dendrons, is an efficient strategy for the convergent synthesis of metallodendrimers.     

Über die Reaktion von Nb3Cl3 mit HCl

On the Reaction of Nb₃Cl₈ with HCl The greenish-blue gas phase which is formed at 500–600°C by reaction of Nb₃Cl₈ with HCl, is caused by an equilibrium reaction, in which small amounts of NbCl₅ and larger amounts of NbCl₄ are formed. This is shown by photometric measurements and by thermodynamic calculations.     

Impact of Transition Metal Substituents on Polysilane Properties: Iron versus Ruthenium

Summary. The previously unknown ruthenio disilanes Rp–Si₂Me₄–C₆H₄X (Rp = η⁵-C₅H₅Ru(CO)₂; X = H, Br, –CHO, CH=C(CN)₂) were synthesized from ClSi₂Me₄C₆H₄X (X = H, Br) and Rp⁻ using conventional chemical methods. Trends in the UV/Vis absorption spectra indicate strong electronic coupling within the Rp–Si–Si–C_aryl fragment and, therefore, closely resemble the ones observed for the corresponding iron complexes. The four compounds however, were shown to be less sensitive towards UV irradiation. The crystal structure of Rp–Si₂Me₄–C₆H₄CH=C(CN)₂ was determined by X-ray diffraction and exhibits an all-trans-array of the Ru–Si–Si–C_aryl moiety, what is a basic requirement for optimal through-bond interaction.     

Ionen-Cyclotron-Resonanz-Messungen von Ion/Molekül-Reaktionen bei Chinonen

At a pressure of 10^?6 Torr the ion cyclotron resonance spectra of p-benzoquinone, methyl-p-benzoquinone, tetramethyl-p-benzoquinone and tetrafluoro-p-benzoquinone are identical to the normal mass spectra. Above 10^?5 Torr the spectra show a variety of signals for product ions. From double resonance measurements it was shown that all the product ions are formed by addition of the molecular ion or of a fragment ion to a neutral quinone molecule. In most cases the addition is accompanied by the elimination of carbon monoxide.     

Symmetric planes with non-classical tangent translation planes

We construct symmetric planes associated with an arbitrary locally compact connected nearfield . If is a proper nearfield, i.e. {;;}, then the tangent translation plane of this symmetric plane is not classical. All previously known examples of symmetric planes have classical tangent translation planes.Herrn Professor Dr. H. Salzmann zum 65. Geburtstag gewidmet
