EPR-untersuchungen an carbonsäureestern—II : Radikalanionen der thion- und dithiobenzoesäureester

Alkyl thione (2) and dithiobenzoates (3) as well as their aryl substituted derivatives 4 and 5 may be converted into radical anions by in situ electroreduction.—The EPR spectra of 2–5 are measured. Conclusions about the spin density distribution within the aromatic ring and the functional group are drawn from the hyperfine structure coupling constants, g-values and polarographic half wave potentials, whereby the effect of ortho substituents (twisting of the two halves of the molecule) is especially considered.—The results agree sufficiently with MO calculations of the McLachlan type.Inspection of the alkyl coupling constants

shows that the alkyl groups exhibit conformations of minimum steric hindrance of the thiocarbonyl group.

1-Hydro-3-vinylhexamethylcyclotetrasiloxane and its polymerization

1,3-Dimethyl-3-vinyl-1,3-dichlorosiloxane is prepared by partial cohydrolysis of methylvinyldichlorosilane and methyldichlorosilane, and its cohydrolysis with sym-tetra-methyldichlorodisiloxane gives 1-hydro-3-vinylhexamethyl-cyclotetrasiloxane. A study is made of the kinetics of the polymerization of the latter in CCL₄ in the presence of H₂PtCl₆ · 6H₂O
