Determination of isotopic composition of lithium by neutron activation analysis; comparison with mass spectrometry

An activation analysis method is described for routine determination of⁶Li-abundances in various lithium compounds on the basis of the reaction sequence⁶Li(n,α)T and¹⁶O(t, n)¹⁸F and the measurement of¹⁸F. Irradiations of diluted equeous solutions of samples containing CrO₃ as internal flux monitor were carried out at a thermal neutron flux density of ϕ≤10¹¹ n·cm⁻²·sec⁻¹. Interferences from variations in neutron self-shielding oxygen concentration and triton range do not exceed 0.5% when using the dilution technique. The results for⁶Li abundances from 3.52 to 7.60% with standard deviations of 1 to 2.5% were confirmed by mass spectrometric measurements.     

Schnelle Trennung von Rückstoßprodukten in der Gasphase

Experiments are described in which recoil products are separated fast and selectively. The aim of these investigations is an identification of short-lived nuclides, either for the study of nuclear reactions or for the study of decay properties of new products. The recoil products were provided by a Cf-252 source. The transportation zone and the identification zone could be heated to different temperatures. Using N₂ as carrier gas it was possible to separate Te selectively under certain experimental conditions. When Cl₂ was added, Sb, Tc, Nb, Mo, Zr, Ru and Sn were transported. Transport output was determined in dependence of temperature and composition of the gas.     

The catalytic hydrogenolysis of 1-phenylbicyclo[4.1.0]heptane and the corresponding azidirine and epoxide

The hydrogenolysisof 1-phenylbicyclo[4.1.0]heptane (1a), cis-1-phenyl-2-methylbicyclo[4.1.0]heptane (1b), 1-phenyl-7-azabicyclo[4.1.0]heptane (2) and 1-phenyl-7-oxabicyclo[4.1.0]heptane (3) was studied using Ni, Pd, Rh and Pt as catalysts. The hydrogenolysis of the C₁C₇ bond of 1a and 1b led to the selective formation of trans-1-phenyl-2-methylcyclohexane (4a) with retention of configuration. Compound 1a gave not only 4a but also phenylcycloheptane (6a), which is the product of C₁C₆ bond fission, and the ratio of 6a to 4a increased in the sequence: Ni ? Pd, Rh < Pt. No C₁C₆ bond fission was observed in the hydrogenolysis of 1b. These results can be explained by a mechanism involving the formation of the π-benzyl complex.trans-2-Phenylcyclohexylamine (8) was obtained stereoselectively in the hydrogenolysis of 2 over Raney Ni. This selective formation can be ascribed to the competition of “SN i” and “radical” processes. The Pd catalysed hydrogenolysis gave cis-2-phenylcyclohexylamine (9) as the main product, while the presence of sodium hydroxide promoted the formation of 8.Raney Ni catalysed hydrogenolysis of 3 yielded a mixture of phenylcyclohexane (13) and 2-phenylcyclohexanols (10 and 11). trans-2-Phenylcyclohexanol (10) was the dominant isomer; the hydrogenolysis resulted in the predominant configurational retention. Compound 13 was confirmed to be produced via 1-phenylcyclohexene (12). This deoxygenation may be explained by a mechanism involving the radical cleavage reaction of 3. The presence of sodium hydroxide led to the formation of cis-2-phenylcyclohexanol (11). The Pd catalysed hydrogenolysis also gave mainly 11.The difference in behaviour of cyclopropane, azidirine and epoxide we ascribe to the differences in the affinity for the catalyst and differences in the electronegativity between C, N and O atoms.     

Synthesis,spectroscopic characterization and redox reactivity of the copper(II) salicylaldiminates containing sterically hindered 2,6-diphenylphenol

New bidentate N-(2,6-di-phenyl-1-hydroxyphenyl) salicylaldimines bearing X = H and 3,5-di-t-butyl substituents on the salicylaldehyde ring, L ^x H, and their copper(II) complexes, Cu(L ^x )₂, have been synthesized and characterized by i.r., u.v./vis., ¹H-n.m.r., ¹³C-n.m.r., e.s.r. spectroscopy and magnetic susceptibility measurements. E.s.r. study has shown that chemical oxidation of Cu(L ^x )₂ with PbO₂ produces ligand-centered Cu^II-phenoxyl radical species. The complexes are easily reduced with PPh₃ via intramolecular electron transfer from ligand to copper(II) to give unstable radical intermediates, which in time are converted to another stable secondary radical species. The analysis of e.s.r. spectra of Cu(L ^x )₂ and generated radical intermediates are presented.

Zur Ermittlung und rechnerischen Überprüfung thermodynamischer Daten aus experimentell gefundenen Werten, 11. Mitt.1: Ein Beitrag zur Berechnung der molaren Exzeßenthalpie und der molaren Exzeßentropie aus Dampfdruckdaten unter Verwendung der Ansätze vonRedlich-Kister undMusil-Breitenhuber

Zusammenfassung Für das binäre System n-Hexan(1)/Methylamin(2) werden die molare Exzeßenthalpie, die molare Exzeßentropie und die freie molare Zusatzenthalpie aus Dampfdruckdaten berechnet. Für die Berechnung der beiden ersten Größen wird sowohl die Ableitung der Parameter der verwendeten Ansätze als auch die Ableitung der freien molaren Zusatzenthalpie verwendet, die beiden Methoden werden verglichen. Zur Glättung der Ergebnisse werden die Parameter bzw. die freie Zusatzenthalpie durch Parabeln verschiedener Ordnung angenähert. Die Berechnung der vorliegenden Arbeit wurde auf der UNIVAC-490-Anlage des Rechen-Zentrums Graz durchgeführt^*.

Determination and verification by calculation of thermodynamic data from experimentally obtained values, XI.: Contribution to the calculation of molar excess enthalpies from vapour pressure data using the treatments of Redlich-Kister and Musil-Breitenhuber

The molar heat of mixing and the molar excess entropy and the excessGibbs energy of the binary system n-hexane(1)/methylamine(2) are calculated using vapor-pressure data. As method the authors use differentiation of parameters of the statements as well as differentiation of the free molar excess enthalpy; both methods are compared. For smoothening the results the parameters resp. the free molar excess enthalpyG ^E are approximated by polynomals of different degree. The programm is written in FORTRAN IV and the UNIVAC-490-computer of the Graz Computer Centre has been used^*.

Free-electron attachment to coronene and corannulene in the gas phase

Electron attachment to the polyaromatic hydrocarbons coronene and corannulene is studied in the electron energy range of about 0-14 eV using a high-resolution crossed electron-neutral beam setup. The major anions observed are the parent anions peaking at about 0 eV with cross sections of 3.8 x 10(-20) and 1 x 10(-19) m(2), respectively. The only fragment anions formed in coronene and corannulene are the dehydrogenated coronene and corannulene anions. Other anions observed in the negative mass spectra at about 0 eV can be ascribed to impurities of the sample. High-level quantum-mechanical studies are carried out for the determination of electron affinities, hydrogen binding energies, and structures of both molecules. The behavior of coronene and corannulene upon electron attachment is compared with that of other polyaromatic hydrocarbons studied previously.     

Stereochemie von Metallocenen, 17. Mitt.: Darstellung und optische Rotationsdispersion von optisch aktiven Halogen-methylcymantrenen

Zusammenfassung Die optisch aktiven Methylcymantren-- und--carbonsäuren bekannter Absolutkonfiguration wurden auf dem Weg: COClCON₃NH₂Hal in die entsprechenden Chlor-, Brom- und Jod-methylcymantrene umgewandelt, und dieORD der genannten Verbindungen sowie die Drehungen der Methylcymantrenylisocyanate (dargestellt aus den Aziden) gemessen. In den Halogen-methylcymantrenen liegen optisch aktive Metallocene vor, bei denen der Beitrag zur Drehung nur aus der Atomchiralität stammen kann, während bei den anderen Methylcymantrenderivaten auch die Konformationschiralität einen Beitrag leistet. Entsprechend sind die [M]_D-Werte der Halogen-methylcymantrene proportional den Polarisierbarkeiten von Hal. DieNMR-Daten der neuen Cymantrenderivate werden mitgeteilt und kurz diskutiert.

The optically active methylcymantrene-- and--carboxylic acids of known absolute configuration were converted into the corresponding chloro, bromo and iodo methylcymantrenesvia their chlorides, azides and amines. TheORD of these cymantrene derivatives as well as the rotations of methylcymantrenyl isocyanates (prepared from the azides) are reported. The halogen methylcymantrenes represent optically active metallocenes, in which the contribution to the optical rotations originates only from atomic chirality, whilst in the case of the other methylcymantrene derivatives the conformational chirality also contributes. Correspondingly, the [M]_D values of the halogen methylcymantrenes are proportional to the polarizibilities of Hal. TheNMR data of the new cymantrene derivatives are reported and briefly discussed.

Electrochemical formation and clevage of bis-imidazolyls

Bis-(2,4,5-triphenylimidazolyls) result from the dimerization of 2,4,5-triphenylimidazolyls and from the nucleophilic attack of 2,4,5-triphenylimidazole anions upon 2,4,5-triphenylimidazolylium cations. The isomeric bis-imidazolyls consist of imidazole and isoimidazole systems. Imidazoles undergo only anodic oxidation, isoimidazoles only cathodic reduction. Therefore the bis-imidazolyls may be analyzed from their electrochemical behaviour. Bis-(2,4,5-triphenylimidazolyl)-1,2′ and bis-(2,4,5-triphenylimidazolyl)-1,4′ undergo reductive bond cleavage in an ē.c?.ē. mechanism from which 2,4,5-triphenyl-imidazole anions result. The electrochemical properties of one of the bis-imidazolyls agree with that of 1,4,5-triphenyl-2-(2,4,5-triphenylisoimidazolyl-4)-imidazole and not with that of bis-(2,4,5-triphenylimidazolyl)-2,4′ as reported in literature.
