Substituenteneffekte auf azido-tetrazolo-gleichgewichte elektronische und sterische effekte bei s-triazolo[4,3-c]tetrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidinen1

The azido tetrazolo valence isomerism of twenty 9-methyl-s-triazolo[4,3-c]tetrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines with different substituents at position 5 has been studied by means of ¹H NMR spectroscopy. All the compounds have been found to be tetrazoles in the solid state and in (CD₃)₂SO solution; in CF₃COOH azido and tetrazolo isomers are in equilibrium. From equilibrium constants K and thermodynamic data determined it is concluded that in this series K depends on both electronic effects and steric requirements of the 5-substituents. A linear relation between K and σ was found for 5-arylderivatives because ΔS° keeps approximately constant and the substituent mainly operates on ΔH°.     

Application of ESCA to polymer chemistry. VIII. Surface structures of AB block copolymers of polydimethylsiloxane and polystyrene

The surface morphology of a number of films of AB block copolymers of polydimethylsiloxane and polystyrene was examined by ESCA and contact angle measurements. In all cases the immediate surface is shown to consist of an essentially pure polydimethylsiloxane component. By comparing the intensities of elastic peaks corresponding to photoionizations from core levels without energy loss for polydimethylsiloxane and polystyrene with those for the block copolymers and by consideration of shake-up phenomena specific to the polystyrene component, an estimate of the thickness of the polydimethylsiloxane outer layer of the latter may be obtained. This is shown to vary between ～13 and 40 Å, depending on the method of formation of copolymer film.     

Zur Kenntnis der thermischen Zersetzung von Ammoniumhexafluoroscandat,-titanat,-vanadat und-chromat

Thermal analysis supported by kinetic calculations was applied exhaustively to these compounds. Under dynamic conditions, tetrafluorometallates(III), which as intermediates, could not be isolated, for the first three compounds. In each case, the final step was the pure metal(III) fluoride. Ammonium hexafluorochromate(III) decomposed directly to the pure chromium(III) fluoride. The decomposition rate of all compounds slowed down towards the end, probably for kinetic reasons. Polymorphic transitions of ammonium hexafluorotitanate(III) were observed at 35 and 100°C. Ammoniumhexafluoroscandate(III) underwent polymorphic transition at 47°C. The decomposition patterns for all these compounds were similar. Conditions for the preparation of pure ammonium tetrafluorometallates(III) of Sc, Ti and V are described.     

Thermally induced ortho-metalation of dicarbomethoxyacetylenebis(triphenylphosphine)platinum

Heating a toluene solution of dicarhomethoxyacetylenebis(triphenylphosphine)platinum(0) at 130°C gives the ortho-metalated complex (Ph₃P)(Ph₂$\text{PC}{}_6\text{H}{}_4\text{)P}$t-trans-(COOMe)CCHCOOMe.     

A novel regiodivergent resolution reaction mediated by a homochiral lithium amide base

The reaction of a racemic perhydroisoquinolene derivative 9 with the homochiral lithium amide basse 3 in the presence of Me₃SiCl in an regiodivergent fashion to give the two non-racemic regioisomeric enol silanes 10 and 11. Conversion of 10 into enone 15, an intermediate useful in the synthesis of the alkaloid (+)-yohimbine, was also possible.     

Plasma polymerization. V. A systematic investigation of the inductively coupled RF plasma polymerization of the isomeric tetrafluorobenzenes

A systematic investigation has been made of the composition, gross structural features, and rates of deposition of plasma polymer films produced from the excitation of inductively coupled RF plasmas in the isomeric tetrafluorobenzenes. ESCA data reveal that the dominant reaction involves rearrangement such that under a wide variety of experimental conditions the composition of the crosslinked products remains essentially the same as that of the starting material. Small differences in rates of deposition are observed for the different isomers, and theoretical SCF MO studies at the MNDO level provides a basis for discussion of the experimental data.     

A theoretical investigation of molecular core binding and relaxation energies in a series of oxygen-containing organic molecules of interest in the study of surface oxidation of polymers

Nonempirical LCAO MO SCF computations (in the ΔSCF formalism) have been carried out of binding energies and relaxation energies for an extensive series of oxygen-containing organic systems encompassing most of the common functionalities. The molecules for which experimental data are available for comparison demonstrate the adequacy of the treatment for describing the relative binding energies for both the C_ls and O_ls core levels. A sound basis is therefore provided for the discussion of relative core binding energies (C_ls and O_ls) for functionalities for which experimental data are not available, that is, hydroperoxides, peroxides, peroxyacids, and peroxyesters, a knowledge of which is essential for investigations of the surface oxidation of polymers by means of ESCA. C_ls shifts are discussed in terms of primary and secondary substituent effects of oxygen, which greatly simplify the analysis of complex unresolved spectra, whereas for the O_ls levels a similar but less straightforward situation exists. The relaxation energies associated with both C_ls and O_ls core ionization follow a dependence on the binding energy for a given structural type.     

Anordnung und Orientierung kationischer Tenside auf ebenen Silicatoberflächen

Zusammenfassung Die n-Alkylammoniumderivate der glimmerartigen Schichtsilicate können als Modellsubstanzen für die Anordnung kationischer Tenside an Festkörpergrenzflächen herangezogen werden. Im ersten Teil der Arbeit wird die Darstellung durch Kationenaustausch aus den natürlichen Schichtsilicaten beschrieben. Es wird ausführlich auf die Fehlerquellen hingewiesen, die reproduzierbare Messungen erschweren.

Summary The n-alkylammonium derivatives of mica-type layer silicates are suitable models for studies about the arrangement of cationic tensides at solid interfaces. Part I of the paper deals with the preparation of these compounds by a simple cation exchange reaction. Sources for errors in obtaining reproducible data are discussed in detail.

Low temperature absorption spectra of TcO 4 − and ReO 4 − in KClO4

The low temperature spectra of TcO ₄ ^– and ReO ₄ ^– both show two band systems with pronounced vibrational structures. The bands are identified as¹ A ₁¹ T ₂ transitions. No other bands are observed with certainty. It seems likely that the KClO₄ crystals contain KReO₄ crystallites. They are therefore not pure mixed crystals. It is concluded that the virtual orbital (2e) used in the construction of the low lying states resembles an atomic nd orbital more and more when going from n=3, Mn to n=5, Re.

Zusammenfassung Die Tieftemperaturspektren von TcO ₄ ^– und ReO ₄ ^– zeigen beide zwei Bandensysteme mit ausgeprägten Schwingungsstrukturen. Die Banden werden als ¹ A ₁¹ T ₂-Übergänge identifiziert. Keine anderen Banden werden mit Sicherheit beobachtet. Es scheint wahrscheinlich, daß die KClO₄-Kristalle KReO₄-Kristallite enthalten und deswegen keine reinen Mischkristalle sind. Es wird geschlossen, daß das virtuelle Orbital (2e), welches zur Konstruktion der tiefliegenden Zustände gebraucht wird, in der Reihe n=3, Mn bis n=5, Re immer weitgehender einem nd-Atomorbital ähnelt.
