Das dielektrische Verhalten von Polyäthern zwischen Mikrowellen- und Infrarot-Gebiet

Zusammenfassung Es wurde die Absorption und Dispersion verschiedener Polyäther im Mikrowellengebiet und im fernen IR untersucht. Mit wachsender Sauerstoffzahl in der Kette werden die Torsions- und Biegeschwingungen wachsend IR-aktiv. Ihre Frequenzlagen ändern sich mit dem zunehmend polaren Charakter der Struktur. Die Analogie zwischen der Verschiebung der Schwingungsfrequenzen und dem Verlauf der Schmelztemperaturen wird diskutiert.Mit zunehmend polarem Charakter steigen der Temperaturkoeffizient der Molpolarisation und die Differenz (–n ²) der Dielektrizitätskonstanten im Mikrowellengebiet und im optischen Bereich stark an. Ein Vergleich mit der Höhe der Dispersionsstufen im fernen IR und deren Temperaturabhängigkeit ergab, daß diese zusätzliche Polarisation nicht allein durch die IR-aktiven Banden bedingt ist. Sie muß gekoppelt sein mit dem ebenfalls stark anwachsenden Untergrundverlust im gesamten mm- und sub-mm-Gebiet.

Summary Absorption and dispersion of several polyethers were measured in the microwave region and in the far infrared. The torsional vibrations become increasingly iractive with increasing number of oxygens in the chain. Their frequencies shift, too, in a manner analogues to the variation of the melting temperatures.The temperature coefficient of the mol polarization at 32 GHz and the difference (–n ²) between microwave and optical dielectric constant rise rapidly with increasing polar character of the structure. It was tried to correlate (–n ²) with the overall absorption of the skeletal vibrations. Height and temperature dependence of the far ir dispersion show, however, that the larger part of this additional polarization cannot be accounted for by the resonance absorption bands. It must be correlated with the background loss which extends over the whole mm and sub-mm range and also increases rapidly with increasingly polar structure.

Formation and Crystal Structure of [(F5TeOXe)+·SO2ClF][Sb(OTeF5)6-]

Xe(OTeF₅)₂ reacts with Sb(OTeF₅)₃ under the formation of [Xe₂(OTeF₅)₃]⁺[Sb(OTeF₅)₆]^-. From SO₂ClF solution a yellow solvate [F₅TeOXe]⁺·SO₂ClF· [Sb(OTeF₅)₆]^- is formed with the crystal data: a = 1028.1(1), b = 1040.9(1), c = 1780.2(3) pm, α = 98.07(1), β = 97.68(1), γ = 105.82(1)°, space group . The O-Xe···O fragment is essentially linear (176.1(2)°), and the two Xe-O distances are quite different 197.1(4) and 242.6(4) pm.     

Time dependence of viscosity of dilute polyisobutylene solutions

Summary Shearing at constant gradient of polyisobutylene (PIB) solutions in viscous polybutene oils results in time dependent changes of their viscosities. Two PIB fractions (M=8·10⁶ and 3.8·10⁶) have been studied in a variety of solvents, covering the viscosity range from 5 to 0.5·10⁻² poise. The overall phenomenon is similar to that already observed for polymethylmethacrylate, polystyrene, and polyethylene oxide solutions in Aroclor. Results have been discussed in terms of polymer molecular weight and concentration, solvent viscosity and gradient. The systems investigated are free from strong polar interactions and tendency toward molecular aggregation; time dependent changes of viscosity are therefore observable also for true molecularly dispersed solutions.

Zusammenfassung Scherung mit konstantem Geschwindigkeitsgradienten von Polyisobutylen (PIB)-L?sungen in viskosen Polybuten-?len ergibt zeitabh?ngige ?nderungen ihrer Viskosit?ten. Zwei PIB-Fraktionen (M=8·10⁶ und 3,8·10⁶) wurden in einer Vielzahl von L?sungsmitteln untersucht, die den Viskosit?tsbereich von 5 bis 0,5·10⁻² Poise überdeckten. Das ph?nomenologische Erscheinungsbild ist ?hnlich dem schon beobachteten für Polymethylmethacrylat, Polystyrol und Poly?thylenoxid-L?sungen in Aroclor. Die Ergebnisse wurden hinsichtlich des Polymer-Molekulargewichts und der Konzentration, der L?sungsmittelviskosit?t und des Gradienten diskutiert. Die untersuchten Systeme sind frei von starken polaren Wechselwirkungen und von Tendenzen in Richtung auf molekulare Aggregation. Zeitabh?ngige ?nderungen der Viskosit?t sind deshalb auch für wahre molekulardisperse L?sungen beobachtbar.

     

Determination of the atomic charge on sodium in sodium salts by numerical integration — a theoretical investigation

The electron density difference in a NaSCN crystal is set up from the ab initio densities of Na⁺ and SCN^? ions and compared to the experimental counterpart based on X-ray diffraction measurements. Numerical integration over the electron density difference is executed around the Na⁺ ion. The atomic charge (+0.20e) derived in this way is in good agreement with the analogous experimental charge (+0.27e) The low experimental value cannot therefore be taken as an indication for a predominantly non-ionic structure of NaSCN and similar sodium salts     

Pseudopotential calculations on Rb+2, Cs+2, RbH+, CsH+ and the mixed alkali dimer ions

Semi-empirical pseudopotentials are used in calculating the ground-state potentials curves for single valence-electron molecular ions. Very accurate results are obtained and a number of predictions given. The ionization energies of the neutral dimers are evaluated. A spectroscopic rule enables us to estimate the A ¹Σ⁺ state of KRb and RbCs.     

Die Wasserstoffbrückenbildung als primärer Elementarvorgang bei der Ionisation schwacher Säuren und bei Säure-Basen-Katalysen in wäßriger Lösung

The mechanism of the ionisation of weak acids was elucidated according to the interpretation of the acid—base-catalysis of the mutarotation of α-glucose by the author. The primary elementary reaction of the ionisation of weak acids is the exothermic formation of the hydrogen bridge of the acid with the polar solvent. The secondary reaction is the endothermic total transfer of the proton to the solvent. The thermodynamic values of both elementary reactions were determined for the ionisation of different weak acids in aqueous solution and in this way a contribution was made to the thermodynamics of intermediate reactions which was propagated by the autorh. The formation of hydrogen bridge at the acid—base-catalysis of the mutarotation of α-glucose is discussed from the point of view of the mechanism of ionisation of weak acids. Furthermore the limits of the validity of theBrönsted equation for the acid—base-catalysis of the mutarotation of α-glucose were demonstrated.     

Beiträge zur Chemie der Alkylverbindungen von Übergangsmetallen. XLIV. Tetrakis(alkoxycarbonylmethyl)titan-Verbindungen

Contributions to the Chemistry of Transition Metal Alkyl Compounds. XLIII. Tetrakis(alkoxycarbonylmethyl)titanium Compounds Organotitanium(IV) compounds of the type (ROCOCH₂)₄Ti (R ? C₂H₅, i-C₃H₇, t-C₄H₉, C₆H₅, C₆H₅CH₂) were obtained by reactions of ROCOCH₂Li derivatives with TiCl₄ at low temperature. The compounds which decompose only above 90°C were characterized by the hydrolysis products, anaerobic reactions with iodine, and the i.r. spectra. The bond conditions are discussed.     

On the determination of polarity parameters of silica by means of solvatochromic probe dyes

Empirical solvent parameters of silica surfaces are determined by means of solvatochromic dyes, e.g., Cu(tmen) (acac)⁺ ClO ₄ ^– /B(C₆H₅) ₄ ^– , Fe(phen)₂(CN)₂, and Michlers Ketone dissolved in 1,2-dichloroethane or cyclohexane. The values obtained by UV/VIS-measurements are compared with both the polarity scales of Kamlet and Taft and with Gutmann's donor and acceptor numbers. Kamlet and Taft's -parameter (the hydrogen-bond donation capacity of a solvent) is determined independently by means of salicylideneaniline. The ^* of silica is determined using 5-N,N-dimethylamino-5-nitro-2,2-bithiophene and the complex of tetracyanoethylene with Michlers Ketone, respectively. Further on the reliabilities of the obtained Kamlet-Taft parameters , , and ^* are checked by comparism with experimental and calculated values of theE _T(30)-parameter of silica by means of multi-parameter regression analysis. The surface properties of silica are influenced mainly by HBD-properties (75%) and dipolarity/polarizability ^* (20%), but hardly by the HBA-properties (<5%). UV/VIS-measurements were carried out in a special equipment with glass fiber optics, A drawing of the apparatus is given.
