Hyperfine structure of Mn II by fast ion beam-laser spectroscopy

We report the first measurements of the hyperfine splitting of the fine structure levels 3d ⁵'4s a ⁵ S ₂ and 3d ⁵ 4p z ⁵ P _1,2,3 ⁰ in singly ionised manganese in a collinear fast ion beam-laser experiment. The ions are excited by the intracavity frequency doubled output of a ring dye laser. The observed linewidth is sufficiently narrow to identify all hyperfine components of each fine structure level.     

How we came to produce C60-fullerite

At the beginning two remarks. One to the nomenclature: Fullerite does not name a specific substance; it names a solid entirely consisting of fullerenes, i.e. closed-cage all-carbon molecules. When our method of synthesis is applied, a solid is obtained in which C₆₀ is the most abundant species. This material may thus be called C₆₀-fullerite. The other remark regarding the production of fullerite: in view of the ease with which this could be achieved, I have the feeling that fullerene molecules must belong to a very frequently overlooked molecular species in carbon chemistry. Since the synthesis is simple and does not require many words to be described, I thought it might be interesting to tell how we came to make fullerite.     

Untersuchungen über das dielektrische Verhalten von Polypropylen

Zusammenfassung Das Verhalten von Polypropylen im elektrischen Wechselfeld wurde im Frequenzbereich von 0,15 kHz bis 300 kHz und im Temperaturbereich von –75 C bis +140 C untersucht. Es konnte sowohl ein Tieftemperaturdispersionsgebiet —-Absorption — als auch ein Hochtemperaturdispersionsgebiet —-Absorption — beobachtet werden. Die Untersuchungsergebnisse wurden, um die Breite des Dispersionsgebietes und die zugehörigen -Stufen zu bestimmen, nach demCole-Cole-Kreisbogengesetz analysiert. Aus dem Anstieg der Geraden: logf _max 1/T _K wurden sowohl für die- als auch fur die-Absorption die experimentellen Aktivierungsenergien berechnet. Eine Deutung der Ergebnisse wurde versucht.     

Formation and dissociation of the chloroethylene anions

Electron attachment spectroscopy is employed to study the formation of negative ions from the chloroethylenes. It is found that the resonances recently observed in the total electron scattering cross section are predominantly associated with the formation of Cl^?. Only in tetrachloroethylene is a long-lived parent negative ion observed.     

Ligand substitution of FeRu2(CO)12 and Fe2Ru(CO)12 with tertiary phosphines and phosphites

Ligand substitution of the mixed-metal clusters FeRu₂(CO)₁₂ and Fe₂Ru(CO)₁₂ with triphenylphosphine and trimethylphosphite has been studied. Mono- and di-substituted derivatives have been synthesized and characterized structurally. The following crystal and molecular structures are reported: Fe₂Ru(CO)₁₁PPh₃: triclinic, space group P$\text{1}$, a 9.203(2), b 11.903(3), c 15.117(4) Å, α 81.54(2), β 87.28(2), γ 66.72(2)°, Z = 2; Fe₂Ru(CO)₁₁P(OMe)₃: orthorhombic, space group Pna2₁, a 17.220(5), b 14.572(4), c 8.708(6) Å, Z = 4, FeRu₂(CO)₁₁PPh₃: monoclinic, space group P2₁/n, a 11.435(3), b 16.034(5), c 16.642(4) Å, β 93.35(2)°, Z = 4; FeRu₂(CO)₁₀(PPh₃)₂: orthorhombic, space group Pccm, a 14.854(4), b 17.180(7), c 16.786(12) Å, Z = 4.Ligand substitution is found to occur preferentially at the ruthenium centers of the FeRu₂ and Fe₂Ru clusters. Monosubstitution causes expansion of both of the clusters while the overall geometry is practically unchanged. Disubstitution of FeRu₂(CO)₁₂ causes contraction of the cluster and leads to a formation of carbonyl bridges. The structural trends have been interpreted in terms of electronic and packing effects of ligand substitution. The X-ray structures of Fe₂Ru(CO)₁₂ and FeRu₂(CO)₁₂ are not known; the ligand substitution studies indicate that Fe₂Ru(CO)₁₂ has the same structure as Fe₃(CO)₁₂, and that FeRu₃(CO)₁₂ does not have a Ru₃(CO)₁₂ structure as postulated previously from the IR studies.     

Synthesis of amino sugars via isoxazolines DL- and D-lividosamine (2-amino-2,3-dideoxy-ribo-hexose) derivatives from 4-vinyl-1,3-dioxolanes and nitroacetaldehyde acetals

1,3-Dipolar cycloaddition of nitrile oxides, generated from nitroethanol and nitroacetaldehyde derivatives 3, 21 and 22, respectively, and of benzonitrile oxide to 4-vinyldioxolanes 1, 2 gave ca 4:1 erythro/threo mixtures of corresponding isoxazolines. LAH reduction of erytho isoxazolines proceeded with similar (ca 4:1) selectivity to furnish protected ribo-amino-polyols 11, 15,19, DL- and D-lividosamines 31 and 33, respectively, as main products. The DL-lividosamine derivative 33 was obtained pure by crystallization. In the D-series, the corresponding ribo/arabino mixture D-31/D-32 was transformed to the known α-methyl D-lividosaminide D-37.

Zur Bestimmung von Aktivitäten und Konzentrationen mit natriumempfindlichen Glaselektroden

The e.m.f. of the cell Ag, AgCl/NaCl solution/sodium sensitive glass electrode was measured at 25°C. In pure water as a solvent, measured activity coefficients agree with tabulated osmotically determined values; hence, the ideality of the sodium response of the glass electrode is confirmed. Choosing a Tris – Tris. HCl buffer of the constant ionic strength 0,5M as a solvent, the applicability of HARNED'S rule was demonstrated. Conditions for measuring sodium ion concentrations with sodium sensitive glass electrodes are discussed.
