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.     

Die Strommer-Zykliden des Flaggenraumes

According to H. BRAUNER a flag space is a three-dimensional affine space with an absolute {,f,F}, wheref is a line in the plane of infinity andF a point onf. A cyclide is a surface of order 4 that intersects only atf. A STROMMER-cyclide is a cyclide generated by translation of a circle in an isotropic plane. In this paper we proof that all STROMMER-cyclides can be generated by translation of an isotropic circle along a divergent Newton-parabola or a conic in a full isotropic plane. We give normal-forms and CAD-pictures of these surfaces. Finaly some geometrical results about STROMMER-cyclides are developed.

Density fluctuations in amorphous and semicrystalline polymers

Summary The small-angle scattering of amorphous and semicrystalline polymers contains an intensity component due to density fluctuations within the crystalline and amorphous domains.For amorphous polymers, the density fluctuations aboveT _g correspond to the theoretical value for a fluid system in thermodynamic equilibrium. BelowT _g , a temperature dependence proportional to T is observed over a range of about 50°. At lower temperatures, a linear relationship with a smaller slope has been found which extrapolates to a non-zero value at 0 °K. This value corresponds to the frozen-in disorder, the slope at low temperatures is related to thermal vibrations and can be evaluated in terms of photon-phonon scattering.Semicrystalline polymers show a temperature dependence of the density fluctuation similar to that of the amorphous polymers. At constant temperature the density fluctuations vary linearly with crystallinity.Natural rubber shows an increase of the density fluctuations with increasing cross-linking densities from which information on the density changes in the vicinity of a cross-link and on the statistics of the distribution of cross-linking can be obtained.

Zusammenfassung Die Kleinwinkelstreuung amorpher und teilkristalliner Polymere besitzt eine Intensitätskomponente, die von Dichtefluktuationen innerhalb der kristallinen und amorphen Bezirke herrührt. Für amorphe Polymere entspricht die Dichtefluktuation oberhalb vonT _g dem theoretischen Wert für ein fluides System im thermodynamischen Gleichgewicht. UnterhalbT _g wird eine Temperaturabhängigkeit proportional zuT über einen Bereich von etwa 50° beobachtet. Bei tieferen Temperaturen wird eine lineare Beziehung mit einer geringeren Steigung gefunden, welche zu einem endlichen Wert bei 0 °K extrapoliert werden kann. Dieser Wert bezieht sich auf die eingefrorene Fehlordnung, die Steigung bei tiefen Temperaturen ist auf thermische Schwingungen zurückzuführen und kann als Photon-Phonon-Streuung ausgewertet werden.Teilkristalline Polymere zeigen eine Temperaturabhängigkeit der Dichtefluktuation, die der von amorphen Polymeren ähnlich ist. Bei konstanter Temperatur ändert sich die Dichtefluktuation linear mit der Kristallinität.Naturkautschuk zeigt eine mit der Vernetzungsdichte ansteigende Dichtefluktuation, aus der man Information über die Dichteänderung in der Umgebung eines Netzpunktes und die Statistik der Netzpunktverteilung erhalten kann.
