Komplexe von 2,6-Dimethylpyridin-1-oxid mit Lanthanidjodiden

Complexes of 2,6-dimethylpyridine 1-oxide with lanthanide iodides of the formulaeLn(2,6-LTNO)₅I₃ whereLn=La, Tb and Yb,Ln(2,6-LTNO)₄I₃ whereLn=Pr and Nd and Er(2,6-LTNO)_4.5I₃ have been prepared and characterised by chemical analysis, infrared and conductance studies. Infrared and conductance data have been interpreted in terms of dimeric (or polymeric) structures involving bridging amine oxide groups.

Über die Synthese von 5-(o-Trifluormethylphenyl)-1H-thieno[3,4—e]-1,4-diazepin-2(3H)-onen

The synthesis of 5-(o-trifluoromethylphenyl)-1H-thieno-[3,4-e]1,4-diazepin-2(3H)-one (7) and its nitration and chlorination in pos. 8 are described.     

Berechnung von mittleren Schwingungsamplituden einiger tetraedrischer Moleküle und Ionen nach der Methode der charakteristischen Schwingungen

Mean amplitudes of vibration of a series of tetrahedralXY ₄ molecules and ions (hydrides, halides, oxides and oxoanions) have been calculated using the “Method of the Characteristic Vibrations” ofA. Müller. The results indicate that this method leads to very good values for most of the investigated species, and especially in the cases of highM _X/M_Y mass ratio.     

Die Hydrohalogenierung von Hexaphenyldigerman und die Schwingungsspektren einiger Ge2(C6H5) n X6−n -Verbindungen

The reactions of Ge₂(C₆H₅)₆ with HCl and HBr lead in nearly quantitative yields to the 1,1,2,2-tetrahalo derivatives Cl₂(C₆H₅)GeGe(C₆H₅)Cl₂ (I) and Br₂(C₆H₅)GeGe(C₆H₅)Br₂ (II), resp. The Si?Ge bond of (C₆H₅)₃SiGe(C₆H₅)₃ is cleaved under the conditions of hydrohalogenation. The vibrational spectra of Ge₂Br₆, Ge₂(C₆H₅)₆, I, and II are reported. The influence of vibrational coupling on ν GeGe in these compounds is discussed in detail, including vibrational calculations.     

Eine Topologie auf der Menge der endlichdimensionalen nichtassoziativen Algebren über einem lokalen Körper

Motivated by an investigation ofKuz'min [2], in this note we introduce a topology on the set of nonassociative algebras of a fixed dimensionr< over a local fieldF. We obtain a space, which is notT ₁. If the trivial algebra is removed, the remaining subspace is quasicompact. The space is homeomoprhic to the group of square classes ofF ^*; forr3 the space is notT ₁. The set of division algebras is open in.     

Maße für gerichtete Geraden und nicht-symmetrische Pseudometriken in der Ebene II

We continue our investigations started in a paper with the same title. The -length of a curve defined in this paper can be written as an integral along the curve. Furthermore, we determine necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a measure of orientated lines which generates a given non-symmetric pseudo-metric.

A variational proof of the Gauss-Bonnet formula

The classical Gauss-Bonnet formula has the form I(g_ij)=2, where I(g_ij) represents a sum of three terms each of which depends on the metric tensor g_ij. It is shown that the first variation I of I(g_ij) with respect to the metric g_ij vanishes and that for the Euclidean metric _ij we have I(_ij)=2. From this the formula I(g_ij)=2 follows. In the process, explicit expressions are obtained for the first variation of each of the three terms which comprise I(g_ij). Furthermore, a general expression for the first variation of a multiple integral whose integrand is a scalar density depending on the metric tensor g_ij and its derivatives up to the second order is obtained with the aid of results of Rund [1].     

The Mitsunobu Reaction: Origin,Mechanism, Improvements,and Applications

The Mitsunobu reaction is a widely used and versatile method for the dehydrative oxidation–reduction condensation of an acid/pronucleophile usually with a primary or secondary alcohol that requires the combination of a reducing phosphine reagent together with an oxidizing azo reagent. The utility of this reaction stems from the fact that it is generally highly stereoselective and occurs with inversion of the stereochemical configuration of the alcohol starting material. Furthermore, as carboxylic acids, phenols, imides, sulfonamides, and other compounds can be used as the acid/pronucleophile, this reaction is useful for the preparation of a wide variety of functional groups. This Focus Review of the Mitsunobu reaction summarizes its origins, the current understanding of its mechanism, and recent improvements and applications.     

Access to 2-fluoroacrylates and their 3-chloro derivatives by chemical hydrogenolysis of 3,3-dichloro-2-fluoroacrylates

The formation of 3-chloro-2-fluoroacrylates 2 and 2-fluoroacrylates 3 by hydrogenolysis of 3,3-dichloro-2-fluoroacrylates 1 was studied by using Bu₃SnH, zinc, the sodium sulphite/sodium formate mixture or iron pentacarbonyl in the presence of a hydrogen donor (Et₃SiH or CH₃OH). The two last couples can be used to prepare the 3-chloro derivatives 2, whereas for the preparation of the 3,3-dihydro derivatives 3, zinc is the most appropriate reducing agent.
