A solvothermal synthesis and the structure of K4Ag2Sn3S9 x 2KOH

A novel layered K(4)Ag(2)Sn(3)S(9) x 2KOH was synthesized solvothermally. A mixture of ethanol and HSCH(2)CH(SH)CH(2)OH was used for the synthesis. The HSCH(2)CH(SH)CH(2)OH plays an important role and appears to serve as a mineralizer for the solvothermal reaction. A layer comprises Sn(3)S(9)(6)(-) clusters linked by Ag(+) ions and possesses two types of 1D channels in which potassium ions are located. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic P2(1)/m space group [a = 7.8071(2) A, b = 27.3508(1) A, c = 10.5008(2) A, alpha = 90 degrees, beta = 103.874(1) degrees, gamma = 90 degrees, Z = 4]. Its crystal structure, composition analysis, and IR are presented.

Studium des gegenseitigen Einflusses der Bindungen in Thiocyanat-Kupfer(II)-Komplexen mit Methyl- und Dimethylpyridinen mittels Infrarotspektroskopie

The infrared spectra of thiocyanato-copper(II) complexes of the type Cu(NCS)₂ L ₂ with all isomeric picolines and lutidines (L) as well as those of the type Cu(NCS)₂ L ₃ withL=3- and 4-picoline, 3,4- and 3,5-lutidine were measured. The behaviour of the (CN) stretching vibrations of the Cu(NCS)₂ L ₂ complexes led to conclusions on the different kind of coordination of the NCS groups in dependence on the ligandL. The mutually conditioned strength of the Cu–NCS and Cu–N(L) bonds in the equatorial plane, especially in the presence of ligandsL with the steric effect, was determined from the frequency shift of the Cu–NCS and Cu–N(L) stretching vibrations with regard to the vibrations for Cu(NCS)₂(pyridine)₂.

Optimal double-configuration study of the lowest excited Π states of H2

Various levels of approximation (Hartree-Fock, configuration interaction and double-configuration Hartree-Fock method) are compared for extensive and limited exponent optimization of the atomic orbitals of the wavefunctions. The potential energy curves for the lowest-lying ¹ _u, ³ _u, ¹ _g, ³ _g states of the hydrogen molecule are presented. The shapes of the curves on the highest level of approximation, i.e. with the optimal double-configuration wavefunction, are basically in agreement with previous, more sophisticated and time-consuming work. The influence of the various approximations is also studied for several one-electron properties: charge distribution of the wavefunction along and perpendicular to the molecular axis, quadrupole moment and core attraction energy distribution. Differences arise to the work of Zemke et al. [1], who used a limited exponent optimization with a larger basis set, in the _g states where the orbitals are very diffuse. The differences concern magnitude and location of minima and maxima of potential curves, as well as considerable changes in one-electron properties which depend strongly on the spatial distribution of the orbitals.

Zusammenfassung Verschiedene Approximationsstufen (Hartree-Fock, Konfigurationenwechselwirkung und Doppelkonfigurationen-Hartree-Fock-Methode) werden für ausgedehnte und begrenzte Exponentenoptimisierung von Atomorbitalen der Wellenfunktionen verglichen. Die Potentialkurven für die niedrigsten ¹ _u, ³ _u, ¹ _g, ³ _g Zustände des Wasserstoffmoleküls werden angegeben. Die Form der Kurven im Rahmen der besten Näherung, d. h. mit Doppelkonfiguration, stimmen im wesentlichen mit früheren aufwendigeren Rechnungen überein. Der Einfluß der verschiedenen Approximationen wird auch an einigen Einelektroneneigenschaften studiert: Ladungsverteilung der Wellenfunktion längs und senkrecht zur Molekülachse, Quadrupolmoment und Verteilung der Rumpfenergie. Unterschiede erscheinen zur Arbeit von Zemke et al. [1], die einen größeren Basissatz mit begrenzter Optimisierung verwandten, bei den _g Zuständen, wo die -Orbitale sehr diffus sind. Die Unterschiede betreffen Größe und Lage der Minima und Maxima der Potentialkurven sowie beträchtliche Änderungen in solchen Einelektroneneigenschaften, die stark von der räumlichen Verteilung der Orbitale abhängen.

Résumé Comparaison de différents niveaux d'approximation (Hartree-Fock, interaction de configuration et Hartree-Fock à deux configurations) pour des optimisations étendues et limitées des orbitales atomiques de base. Calcul des courbes d'énergie potentielle pour les plus bas états ¹ _u, ³ _u, ¹ _g, ³ _g de la molécule d'hydrogène. Pour la fonction d'onde la plus raffinée: H.F. à deux configurations, la forme des courbes est en accord avec les résultats obtenus dans des travaux précédents plus complexes et plus coûteux. On étudie aussi l'influence des diverses approximations sur plusieurs propriétés monoélectroniques: distribution de charge le long de l'axe moléculaire et perpendiculairement à celui-ci, moment quadrupolaire et distribution de l'énergie d'attraction de coeur. On trouve des différences avec le travail de Zemke et al. (1), qui utilisent une plus grande base partiellement optimisée, pour les états _g où les orbitales sont très diffuses. Les différences concernent la grandeur et la position des extrema des courbes de potentiel, ainsi que des variations importantes des propriétés monoélectroniques qui dépendent fortement de la distribution spatiale des orbitales.

Regio- and stereocontrolled synthesis and conformational analysis of benzimidazole nucleosides

Regio- and stereocontrolled synthesis and conformational analysis of a series of benzimidazole nucleosides were achieved. A simple method by ¹H NMR 1D NOE experiment was developed for estimation of syn or anti conformation of benzimidazole nucleosides. Substituents at C2 of benzimidazole demonstrated to play a key role both in the unexpected regioselectivity of the glycosidic reaction and in the conformation distributions of the final products.     

Lösungsmitteleinfluß auf das Redoxverhalten von Bistriphenylphosphinquecksilber(II)-perchlorat

The influence of solvents on the redox behaviour of bistriphenylphosphinomercury perchlorate has been investigated by polarographic, voltammetric and potentiometric methods. The electrode process was found to be reversible in acetonitrile, propylene carbonate, N,N-dimethylformamide and dimethyl sulfoxide. An irreversible process was observed in nitromethane employing the dropping mercury electrode as well as in N,N-dimethylthioformamide and N-methyl-2-thiopyrrolidinone employing the rotating platinum electrode. Half wave potentials and diffusion coefficients have been measured. A linear relationship between theE _1/2 and the donor number (DN) of the solvent has been found for the reversible electrode reactions. Ligand replacement occurs in N,N-dimethylthioformamide and N-methyl-2-thiopyrrolidinone.

Fast peroxyoxalate chemiluminescence for minimized analytical separation systems

The maximum intensity, Imax, and time required to reach the maximum emission, taumax, for 1-aminopyrene monitored in 1,1'-oxalyldi-4-methylimidazole (OD4MI) chemiluminescence (CL) reactions are approximately 61 times higher and 16 times faster than their respective values for bis(2,4,6-trichlorophenyl)oxalate (TCPO) CL reactions in the presence of imidazole (ImH).     

Über einige neue Bispirane

We have obtained four new bispirane systems in which both spiroatoms are vicinal atoms in cyclopropane or cyclobutane rings and in which the heterocyclic component has the basic structure of 1,4-dioxep-2-ene. We have shown that from two possibilities (bispiran, propellan) the general reaction leads only to a bispiran system. To the bispiran2 exhibiting the highest hyperchromism we ascribed the bispirocoplanar conformation (Fig. 1).
