A new look at rotational and vibrational excitation in the scattering of Li+ from N2 and CO at energies between 4 and 17 eV

New experimental time-of-flight distributions are reported for Li⁺-N₂ and Li²-CO at two center-of-mass energies of about 8 and 16 eV and large scattering angles θ_lab ? 120°. The Li⁺-N₂ spectra show two widely spaced maxima, whereas the Li⁺-CO spectra show two and sometimes three maxima. The results are consistent with the model of rotational rainbows, and have also been analyzed in terms of an impulsive model involving collisions with the individual atoms of the molecules with energy-dependent masses. Classical trajectories for a simple model potential reveal only small contributions from vibrational excitation.     

Stereochemistry of Polynuclear Cadmium(II)thioglycolates: Crystal Structure of [ICd8(SCH2CH2OH)12]3+ · 3I− · H2O

Crystals of the title compound are triclinic, a = 27.87 Å, b = 10.77 Å, c = 12.94 Å, α 73.1°, β 116.1°, γ 120.0°, space group P1 . The structure consists of octanuclear ions: Eight Cd(II) ions are found at the corners of a distorted cube, the center of the cube is occupied by an iodide, the twelve thioglycolate sulfur atoms bridge the twelve edges of the cube thereby forming a distorted icosahedron. Cadmium ions are either five or seven coordinate. The phase problem for this structure was solved using a combination of very high and very low E-values.     

Kinetik der Diazotierung der Chloraniline in methanolischer Chlorwasserstofflösung

The kinetics of the diazotization of o-, m-, p-chloroaniline in 0.005n- to 0.4n-methanolic HCl-solution at 25, 15, 0, ?10 ?20, and ?30°C was invertigated. It was found that the nitrosation reaction (the same as in¹) $$C_6 H_4 ClNH_2 + NOCl \mathop \rightleftharpoons \limits^k C_6 H_4 ClNH_2 NO^ + + Cl^ - $$ is a proceeding advance-back-reaction. The decomposition of C₆H₄ClNH₂NO⁺ by splitting off a proton is the rate determining step. The free activation enthalpies ΔG ^* for the nitrosation reaction, the activation entropies ΔS ^*, the activation enthalpies ΔH ^* and the activation energiesE _a at the given temperatures are calculated. The experimentally found and the calculated velocities are given in Tables 1–6. The equilibrium constants of the o-, m-, p-chloroanilinium ions, and nitrosyl-chloride in methanol are indicated in Table 7, diagram 1. TheK _M values (the ionic products of methanol, extrapolated at infinite dilution) together with theK _A values of Table 7 give theK _B values (p. 2) using the table¹⁰. The ΔG _B values can be calculated using equation ΔG _B = ?RTlnK _B Fig 2 shows the linear dependance of the logarithmus of the ΔG ^* values from the logarithmus of theK _B values.     

Polarisabilites moléculaires et effet diélectrique de milieu à l'état liquide. Étude théorique de la molécule d'eau et de ses diméres

The model of Onsager in which a polar molecule undergoes a reaction field due to the polarization of the molecular surroundings is used to evaluate by a S.C.F. calculation (CNDO/2 approximation) the modifications of a molecular structure in the liquid state.Application to water molecule and to three polar dimers for values of the dielectric constant varying between 3 and 78, shows that most of geometric parameters and dipoles moments vary of few per cent when the molecule is inserted in a liquid. In the liquid state dipole moments do not depend very much on the dielectric constant but energies and relative stabilities of isomers are strongly dependent on the medium.[/p]

New pyrimidino-crown ether ligands

Eight new macrocyclic ligands containing the pyrimidine subcyclic unit ( 3-10 , Figure 1) have been prepared. Two of these new crown ethers are chiral. Pyrimidino-crowns 3-8 were prepared by treating the di-tosylate derivative of the appropriate oligoethylene glycol with 4-methoxy-5-raethyl-2,6-pyrimidinedimeth-anol in basic conditions. The yields were in the 30-50% range giving the crowns as viscous oils. Chiral dimethyl-substituted pyrimidino-crown 9 was prepared from 4-methoxy-5-methyl-2,6-pyrimidinedimethyl di-tosylate and chiral dimethyl-substituted tetraethylene glycol. Treatment of dimethyl 4-methoxy-5-methyl-2,6-pyrimidinedicarboxylate with the diamine derivative of chiral dibenzyl-substituted tetraethylene glycol gave the chiral dibenzyl-substituted pyrimidino-crown diamide 10. Starting 4-methoxy-5-methyl-2,6-pyrimidinedi-methanol was prepared by a six step process from acetamidine hydrochloride and diethyl oxalpropionate.

Rydberg fingerprint spectroscopy: a new spectroscopic tool with local and global structural sensitivity

Rydberg spectra are shown to provide a spectral fingerprint that is sensitive to molecular structure in unique ways. The concepts are demonstrated using a set of isomeric fluorophenols and a sequence of aliphatic diamines. In the fluorophenols, the sensitivity extends to the placement of a single hydrogen atom and can be traced to the molecular charge distributions associated with the locations of atoms and functional groups with respect to the charge center. Experiments on tetramethyl diamines demonstrate that the structural sensitivity encompasses the extended molecular structure, including parts of the molecule that are remote from the ionization center. This global structure sensitivity makes Rydberg fingerprint spectroscopy uniquely suited to characterize structures of large-scale molecular systems.     

A concise synthesis of β-lactam-sulfonamide hybrids

An efficient RCM of 4-vinyl-azetidin-2-ones to give 1-aza-bicyclo[4.2.0]oct-4-en-8-ones is also reported.     

Beiträge zur Grenzflächenchemie phosphororganischer Verbindungen

Zusammenfassung Die tertiären n-aliphatischen Phosphine spreiten auf Wasser spontan zu einem monomolekularen Film aus. Die Kompressionsisothermen der untersuchten tertiären aliphatischen Phosphine in homologer Reihe mit der Kettenlänge von C₄ bis C₁₆ wurden ausgemessen und die dabei auftretenden Filmzustände identifiziert. Das tertiäre C₅-Phosphin bildet realgasanaloge, die C₆–C₁₂-Phosphine flüssiganaloge und die längerkettigen Phosphine festanaloge Filme.Ein Übergang vom tertiären Phosphin zum Phosphinoxid hat auf die Filmbildung keinen Einfluß, es ergibt sich nur eine geringfügige Vergrößerung der molekularen Fläche von etwa 10%.Der auf den Filmdruck 0 extrapolierte molekulare Flächenbedarf wurde sowohl nach den herkömmlichen Verfahren aus denF/A-Diagrammen als auch mit einer anderen Methode aus denF·A/F-Isothermen berechnet: beide Werte zeigen sehr gute Übereinstimmung. Dabei zeigt der Vergleich mit dem aus den molekularen Abmessungen errechneten Flächenbedarf, daß die Phosphinmoleküle im komprimierten Film nicht vollständig in Pyramiden- bzw. Kegelform geordnet sind sondern daß die aliphatischen Ketten vom sechsten C-Atom an senkrecht auf der Substratoberfläche stehen. Der P-C-Winkel ist nicht für, die ganze Kette richtungsweisend, die flexiblen Kohlenwasserstoff ketten sind abgewinkelt. Mit zunehmender Kettenlänge wächst das Molekül nur noch senkecht in die Höhe, deshalb bleibt die molekulare Fläche ab C₆ annähernd konstant.

Summary Tertiäry n-aliphatic phosphines form on water surfaces spontanously monolayers. The force-area isotherms of a homologous series of phosphins with a chainlength varying from C₄ to C₁₆ were measured and the appearing states of the films were identified. The tertiary C₅ phosphine forms real-gas analogous films, the C₆ to C₁₂ phosphines liquid, analogous films and phosphines with lange carbon chains solid analogous films.A transition from tertiäry phosphines to the corresponding phosphine oxide has no influence on the formation of the films, it results only in an insignificant (10 p. c.) increase of the molecular area.The molecular area from the extrapolation to the film pressure of 0 was calculated by the customery methods out of theF/A diagramms, and by an other methods out of theFA/F isotherms. Good accordance of both values is shown. The area calculated from the molecular dimensions shows in comparison, that the phosphine molecules in comprimated films are not exactly disposed in pyramidal or conic shape, but that each aliphatic chain changes its direction after the sixth C-atom and stands vertically to the liquid-air interface. The direction of the chains is not determined by the angle of the P–C bonding, because the flexible carbon changes are distorted. With increasing chainlength, beginning from the tertiäry C₆ phosphin the carbon chains stand only vertically to the substrate. Therefore the need of molecular area remains almost constant.
