Über 1-Alkyl-bzw. 1-Aryl-dihydro-6-methyl-2(1H)-pyrimidinthione

The title compounds7 are formed in a general reaction by heating β-isothiocyanoketones3 with primary amines in inert solvents, or by thermal elimination of water from tetrahydro-6-hydroxy-6-methyl-2(1H)-pyrimidinethiones5, also in inert solvents. The 1-alkyl compounds can also be prepared under similar conditions from α,β-unsaturated ketones by reaction with alkylammonium rhodanides. The NMR-spectra show that the 1-substituted dihydro-6-methyl-2(1H)-pyrimidinethiones are in tautomeric equilibrium with the tetrahydro-6-methylene-2(1H)-pyrimidinethiones13. The reactivity of 1-alkyl and 1-aryldihydro-6-methyl-2(1H)-pyrimidinethiones is similar to that of dihydro-4,4,6-trimethyl-2(1H)-pyrimidinethione7 j, although their ring stability is certainly less.     

Beiträge zur Chemie des Sulfamids, 1. Mitt.: Zur Konstitution des Disilber-sulfamids

According to spectroscopic (IR, broadline proton NMR) and chemical (alkylation) investigations of disilver sulphamide the following molecular structure is assumed: $$\begin{gathered} O \hfill \\ || \hfill \\ H_2 N\_\_S\_\_NAg| \hfill \\ OAg \hfill \\ \end{gathered}$$ From the IR and NMR data deduction concerning the nature of the chemical bonds in this compound is possible. The instability of the still unknown mono-and trisilver sulphamide is discussed with regard to the structure of disilver sulphamide.     

The two-phase structure of segmented block copoly(ether ester)

The annealing induced morphological changes in isotropic block copoly(etherester)s are investigated by small angle X-ray scattering methods. The observed results are consistent with a lamellar model which is comprised of a crystalline core of thickness 35 to 45 Å, a diffuse boundary zone of width 9 Å, and an amorphous layer which is varying strongly in thickness. The enhanced crystallinity of the samples annealed at higher temperatures is mainly due the lateral growth of the lamellae; the long period increases by not more than 20%. The scattering power of the samples is explained by means of an equivalent two-phase model in which the crystalline phase has the same structure as theα-form of poly(butylene terephthalate), whereas the amorphous phase is a mixture of the uncrystallized ester segments and the ether segments. The crystallinity determined from the scattering power is very much higher than that determined from thermoanalytical investigations.     

Die Kristallstruktur von Ru2Si3

The crystal structure of Ru₂Si₃ has been refined by leastsquares using three-dimensional X-ray data from a twinned crystal (1355 reflections,R=5.8%). Ru₂Si₃ is isostructural with Ru₂Ge₃ and like this compound a member of the Mn₁₁Si₁₉ structure family. The lattice parameters of the orthorhombic unit cell (Pnca—D ₁₄ ^2h ) are:a=5.530 (1),b=11.060 (2) andc=8.952 (2) Å.

Über die Konfiguration des Prolins im Ergotamin

It is well known that in the ergot alkaloids of the peptide type the proline appears in thel-configuration. Different methods of acid hydrolysis may lead to various cleavage products; hydrolysis by HCl yieldsd-proline, on the other hand hydrolytic cleavage by means of strongly acid cation exchange resin preserved the orginall-configuration.

Beiträge zur chemie der Pyrrolpigmente, 10. Mitt.: Elektronenspektrometrische Untersuchungen über die Struktur von Quadratsäurederivaten

The structure of squaric acid derivatives was investigated on the basis of the PPP—SCF—LCAO—MO—CI method utilizing the π-electron densities and bond orders. The parameters used in the calculations were modified to fit the experimental data for representative compounds. The data were obtained by X-ray photoelectron spectrometry and electron absorption spectroscopy (including the polarization of the bands as determined by liquid crystal induced circular dichroism measurements).     

Thermische Polymerisation von Acenaphthylen

Zusammenfassung Acenaphthylen wurde durch Anpolymerisation und zweifache Hochvakuumsublimation gereinigt. Die Reinigungsmethode wird ausführlich beschrieben.Bei verschiedenen Temperaturen wurde mit einer dilatometrischen Methode die thermische Bruttogeschwindigkeit gemessen. Zwischen 95 und 105 °C giltk _br=7,0₈·10¹⁰ exp (– 30,9 kcal/RT).Die beträchtliche Aktivierungsenergie der Bruttoreaktion ist sowohl auf eine große Aktivierungsenergie der thermischen Startreaktion als auch auf eine relativ hohe Wachstumsaktivierungsenergie zurückzuführen.Das Polymerisationsverhalten von Acenaphthylen kann vermutlich aufgrund seiner sterischen Eigenschaften erklärt werden.

Summary Acenaphthylene was purified by partial polymerisation, followed by double stage high vacuum sublimation. The method of purification is described in detail.The thermal overall rate was measured at different temperatures by a dilatometric method. Between 95 and 105 °C the following relation holds:k _th=7,0₈ · 10¹⁰ exp (– 30,9 kcal/RT).The considerable energy of activation of the overall reaction depends on a relatively high energy of activation of both the thermal initiation and the propagation reaction.It is supposed, that the polymerisation behaviour of acenaphthylene depends mainly on its steric properties.

     

Das Schwingungsspektrum von Magnesium-orthovanadat

The infrared and laser-Raman spectra of crystalline Mg₃(VO₄)₂ are reported and a factor group analysis for the full lattice is presented to support the discussion. The 1,000 to 600 cm^?1 region of the spectrum is essentially related to internal (stretching) modes of the greatly distorted VO₄ tetrahedra, whereas the bands in the low frequency region must be assigned to complex vibrations originating in the interaction of the bending vibrations of the tetrahedral groups with the external modes.     

Molekulare Zusammensetzung von flüssigem Schwefel. Teil: 3 Quantitative Analyse im Bereich 115–350°C

Molecular Composition of Liquid Sulfur. Part 3: Quantitative Analysis in the Temperature Region 115–350°C Relative concentrations of S₆, S₇, S₈, S_x (x > 8) and S_μ (insoluble sulfur) in equilibrium melts of elemental sulfur have been determined from i. r. and Raman spectra. At the freezing point (115°C) the melt consists of 0.6% S₆, 2.8% S₇, 1.5% S_x, and 95.1% S₈. – The solubility of S₇ in CS₂ has been determined at −77 to −26°C; the solubilities of both S₇ and S₈ in CS₂ are considerably enhanced by the presence of S_x. The thermal decomposition of S₈ and S_μ formation from S₆, S₇, and S_x has been investigated.     

Das dielektrische Verhalten von Polyäthern zwischen Mikrowellen- und Infrarot-Gebiet

Zusammenfassung Es wurde die Absorption und Dispersion verschiedener Polyäther im Mikrowellengebiet und im fernen IR untersucht. Mit wachsender Sauerstoffzahl in der Kette werden die Torsions- und Biegeschwingungen wachsend IR-aktiv. Ihre Frequenzlagen ändern sich mit dem zunehmend polaren Charakter der Struktur. Die Analogie zwischen der Verschiebung der Schwingungsfrequenzen und dem Verlauf der Schmelztemperaturen wird diskutiert.Mit zunehmend polarem Charakter steigen der Temperaturkoeffizient der Molpolarisation und die Differenz (–n ²) der Dielektrizitätskonstanten im Mikrowellengebiet und im optischen Bereich stark an. Ein Vergleich mit der Höhe der Dispersionsstufen im fernen IR und deren Temperaturabhängigkeit ergab, daß diese zusätzliche Polarisation nicht allein durch die IR-aktiven Banden bedingt ist. Sie muß gekoppelt sein mit dem ebenfalls stark anwachsenden Untergrundverlust im gesamten mm- und sub-mm-Gebiet.

Summary Absorption and dispersion of several polyethers were measured in the microwave region and in the far infrared. The torsional vibrations become increasingly iractive with increasing number of oxygens in the chain. Their frequencies shift, too, in a manner analogues to the variation of the melting temperatures.The temperature coefficient of the mol polarization at 32 GHz and the difference (–n ²) between microwave and optical dielectric constant rise rapidly with increasing polar character of the structure. It was tried to correlate (–n ²) with the overall absorption of the skeletal vibrations. Height and temperature dependence of the far ir dispersion show, however, that the larger part of this additional polarization cannot be accounted for by the resonance absorption bands. It must be correlated with the background loss which extends over the whole mm and sub-mm range and also increases rapidly with increasingly polar structure.
